Edina studentsgobble up ‘Tomthe Turkey’ visitDistrict’s Curriculum Resources andPrograms connects learning withreal world experiencesBY KATIE MINTZ – SUN NEWSPAPERS

Creek Valley Elementary School in Edina had two spe-cial guests Tuesday, Nov. 15.

“Let’s pretend today that you are a turkey farmer forjust a few minutes,” Don Nelson, owner of Nelson’s Farmin Litchfield, said to a first-grade classroom.

Nelson told the students all about turkeys and turkeyfarming. And then he unveiled “Tom the Turkey,” a livedomestic large white turkey, whose gobbles elicited gig-gles and rapt attention from the students.

The visit was arranged through Edina CommunityEducation’s Curriculum Resources and Programs divi-sion.

Offered by the Edina School District since 1974, ithelps teachers find guest speakers and field trip oppor-tunities that tie into course curriculum.

It provides the hook that gets students excitedabout learning and helps them connect what’s happen-ing in the classroom to the real world, saidCurriculum Resources and Programs SupervisorMarcia Friedman, who also heads up the district’sCommunity Volunteer Programs.

“The kids and teachers love it,” said first-gradeteacher Dorren Erny, who helps organize the visit to CreekValley each year. “Farmer Nelson models a career that manykids are no longer familiar with.”

The lesson ties in with social studies units in citizenship andcommunities, as well as science, she said.

“We are currently studying the Wampanoag tribe and thefirst Thanksgiving,” Erny said. “Turkeys and Thanksgiving are

the perfect tie in.”For some students, it’s the first time they have seen a live

turkey. Nelson, who has been going to classrooms across themetro since 1988, when he visited a St. Paul school where hisdaughter was a student teacher, said his favorite thing is seeing

Setting the PACE: Edina is first Minnesotacity to adopt green financing tool

Grandview Tire & Autohopes to use newprogram to finance solar panelsBY KATIE MINTZ – SUN NEWSPAPERS

Grandview Tire & Auto has a new wayto soup up its shop with the help of a cityprogram.

The Edina City Council unanimouslyadopted the Edina Emerald EnergyProgram Tuesday night, Nov. 15, makingit the first Minnesota city to take advan-tage of Property-Assessed Clean Energy(PACE) legislation.

PACE, which was approved by the stateLegislature in 2010, allows property own-ers to have the cost of energy efficiencyand conservation improvements assessedto their property and paid alongside prop-erty taxes.

For Rick Murphy, general manager ofthe newest Grandview Tire & Auto, 541570th St. W., in Edina, that means he’ll havethe necessary financing tool to install a27-kilowatt solar panel system on thealready green auto shop’s roof.

“We built it two years ago and did a lotin its design to make it one of the mostefficient auto repair facilities in theMidwest, if not the United States,”Murphy said. “This is another step.”

Grandview already boasts two 300,000-BTU clean burning waste oil boilers,which use old motor oil to heat the interi-or and provide snowmelt in the parkinglot in the winter, as well as a PVC whiteroof to reduce heating expenses in thewinter and cooling costs in summer. Thesolar panel system is expected to reduceenergy usage by about 25 percent, he said.

Murphy said without the PACE pro-gram, and grants and rebates that areavailable, solar technology is still tooexpensive to pay for itself. He encouraged

the city to adopt a PACE program, whichwill help cover the upfront costs.Following the meeting he said he wouldbegin working on the financing paper-work. He said he hopes to install the solarpanels this spring.

City Manager Scott Neal said underthe program, the city is not loaning pub-lic money, but rather is serving as a con-duit for private financing through a spe-cial assessment. According to the city’slegal counsel, the special assessmentbonds will not count against the city’slegal debt limit.

“It works very much like any otherspecial assessment program that this cityand other cities have used for manyyears,” Neal said. “The only difference isyou’re special assessing private improve-ments to private property, which is differ-ent and which is the heart of PACE.”

Edina’s program is adapted from aPACE program in Sonoma County, Calif.,Neal said. But he said it does not include

financing for water conservation projectsor for projects on residential properties –only commercial property. According toNeal, home lenders don’t like PACEbecause in the case of foreclose, the PACEassessments are paid before the mort-gage.

In Edina, Neal said assessments forimprovements can’t exceed 10 percent ofthe property value or carry repaymentterms longer than 10 years. Projects thatcost more than $20,000 would need indi-vidual council approval. City staff couldapprove projects under that amount.

During the meeting, the city councilalso accepted a $10,000 grant from theMinnesota Department of Commerce tocover the legal and administrative costsassociated with the program’s develop-ment.

Mayor Jim Hovland said Edina willnot be the last to adopt a PACE program.

“There are a lot of cities waiting to fol-low along behind us,” he said.

EP’s video production to go through EdinaAgreement shouldgenerate somerevenue for EdinaBY PAUL GROESSEL – SUN NEWSPAPERS

Starting in December, video produc-tion for Eden Prairie city hall will gothrough Edina.

Eden Prairie is in final interviewsfor a part-time communications spe-cialist, a position created in lieu of thepart-time video production positionthat was recently eliminated. Now, itsvideo production work can be out-sourced to neighboring Edina, whichhas newer equipment and an efficientvideo production staff.

Joyce Lorenz, Eden Prairie’s com-munications manager, said rather thanpaying just shy of $20,000 per year forthe part-time video production posi-tion, it expects to pay $5,000 per year atthe most to have Edina’s crew do thesame amount of work, on a contractbasis.

The current three-person communi-

cation staff handles communication forevery department in Eden Prairie,including police, fire, liquor stores, thecommunity center and other facilities.

With the Edina agreement, EdenPrairie can move the part-time hoursfrom video production to other internalprojects and work that has more of apriority, according to Lorenz.

Online initiatives are just a couple ofthose priorities, such as keeping up thecity’s Facebook page, which reportedlygets nearly as much traffic as its web-site. The city will also roll out a newwebsite design sometime early nextyear.

Communications will also be work-ing on planning new communityengagement sessions, possibly in thevein of town hall meetings it used tohost, Lorenz said.

The city does some internal staffvideos, broadcasts city council meet-ings and other miscellaneous videos,Lorenz said. Most of the shared workwill be for public service announce-ments and other messages on Channel16.

“So the needs are pretty minor,”Lorenz said.

The production and posting can betaken care of from Edina, too, since it’sdone through an online system, Lorenzsaid.

Edina video staff has filled in for anEden Prairie video producer before,and it created a camp safety video forEden Prairie. Since the Edina staff hasalways taken care of Eden Prairie’swork quickly and smoothly, Lorenz isconfident the partnership will go well.

“Really, the idea is they’re not doinga lot of programming now,” said EdinaDirector of Communications JenniferBennerotte. “So, it’s an easy transitionfor us to handle it for them, so they canfocus their communications efforts inother areas.”

The agreement should generate a lit-tle revenue for Edina, and the extrawork can be spread to its current part-time workers, Bennerotte said.

“Where we really see the benefit is inthe partnership, that shared program-ming stuff,” Bennerotte said.

The work is complete, The Works opens in BloomingtonBY MIKE HANKS – SUN NEWSPAPERS

Bigger is certainly intended to bebetter at The Works, the hands-on sci-ence and engineering museum thatrecently completed its move toBloomington.

Filled with interactive exhibits andactivities, The Works also providesclassroom instruction for elementaryschool groups in a setting far removedfrom their day-to-day surroundings.With the move to Bloomington, theorganization can accommodate moreschool groups on a weekly basis, andhas room to feature traveling exhibitsand offer a design lab, an area for visi-tors to participate in a variety of activ-ities, such as designing a catapult tofling marshmallows and making asound sandwich, a noisemaker com-posed of two tongue depressors,according to Jill Measells, chief execu-tive officer of The Works.

The Works was founded in 1995 byRebecca Schatz, an engineer at a techcompany who realized that few muse-ums aimed at children taught the prin-cipals of engineering. What started as

a temporary exhibit in the BellMuseum at the University ofMinnesota became a full-time opera-tion. For the past several years the non-profit organization has called theEdina CommunityCenter home, butits space within thecommunity center,and access to thespace, were limit-ed.

As engineeringeducation hasgrown inMinnesota schools,The Works neededmore space toaccommodate the demands for its pro-grams, leading the organization to anempty office building near 98th Streetand Lyndale Avenue South. The Worksopened in its new location earlier thismonth.

The first traveling exhibit is “Toys:the inside story,” showing the mechan-ical processes inside popular childhoodtoys such as Etch A Sketch and child-hood games such as Hungry Hungry

Hippos, Measells explained. Traveling exhibits that focus upon

engineering are hard to come by,Measells said. Being able to obtain theinside toys exhibit as the first traveling

exhibit inBloomington wasfortuitous. “It was areally great fit,” shesaid.

T r a v e l i n gexhibits will changeevery three to sixmonths, and theinside toys exhibitwill be availableuntil May, she noted.

Along with themove from 7,000 square feet in Edina to45,000 square feet in Bloomington, theorganization has grown, too. Measellsbecame CEO in October, having previ-ously worked as the vice president ofeducation and exhibits at MinnesotaChildren’s Museum in St. Paul.

As CEO, Measells is responsible forgrowing the organization in the yearsto come. In the past year, 21,000 chil-dren have visited The Works through

an organized group. The goal is toincrease that total by 20 percent duringits first year in Bloomington, sheexplained.

Measells may be taking over theleadership and oversight of the muse-um, but Schatz will continue with theorganization she founded, focusingupon exhibit design and innovation,Measells said.

To finance the expansion, TheWorks is conducting a multi-year capi-tal campaign. The organization is fund-ed by contributions from corporations,foundations and individuals as well asrevenue from memberships, admis-sions and workshop fees.

There is a daily admission fee of $6per person for the museum, as well as a$2 fee for the design lab. Annual mem-berships are available and throughoutthe year The Works offers specialevents and activities, such as TechFest, a family-oriented event at the endof February to celebrate NationalEngineers Week. Tech Fest featuresspecial demonstrations, showcases stu-dent work and provides engineeringprojects designed for families.

Celebrate thanks and giving this monthOr lessons Ilearned fromkindergarteners

It just might be true that youlearn all you really need toknow in kindergarten.

I recently visited a group ofpreschool and kindergartenstudents to ask them what theyare thankful for this year.

I thought I’d come away withsome silly answers for thisThanksgiving Day column.And I did, but I also learnedthat Thanksgiving is a lot moreto young kids than drawinghandprint turkeys, eatingpumpkin pie and givingthanks.

Introducing me to her class,Rita Miller, a teacher at Step ByStep Montessori of Southdalein Edina, said she considersNovember a month of boththanks and giving.

“It’s a good month to thinkabout what we’re thankful forand also to give to those whodon’t have what we have,” shetold her students.

Rather than ask them what

they are thankful for, maybe Ishould have asked how they aregiving to others. Based on whatSchool Director RachelHagenson told me, they wouldhave had a lot to say.

The 150 students at Step byStep, from infants to kinder-garteners, are currently col-lecting toys for VolunteersEnlisted to Assist People,which serves families inBloomington, Richfield, Edinaand south Minneapolis.Hagenson said the highlight ofthe annual drive is seeing chil-dren so excited to part withtheir presents.

Later this winter, the school,which has seven other metrolocations, will put togetherbirthday bags for the organiza-tion. Twice a month, thekindergartners also visit anearby senior living facility toshare their school lessons andplay games with the residents.

“It’s nice to teach kids aboutgenerosity and giving at thistime of year, and it’s never tooearly to start teaching kids howfortunate we are and that noteveryone is as fortunate,” saidHagenson, who noted that car-ing for the community is animportant part of Montessorieducation.

So this Thanksgiving, I’mtaking a cue from thepreschoolers and kindergarten-ers, who are already well ontheir way to a solid educationin citizenship. While, of course,I am thankful for many things –some of the same things as thestudents below – thisNovember I will focus on giv-ing.

Around your table thisevening, consider asking yourfamily members and friendswhat they are thankful for andhow they are giving too.

And without further ado,here is how the preschool andkindergarten students at Stepby Step Montessori ofSouthdale in Edina answered“What are you thankful for?”

“I’m thankful for cookingwith my mom.” – CarsonWeiler, age 6, of Bloomington

“I’m thankful for my petOso, a pug.” – RajaChinnakotla, 5, of Edina

“I’m thankful for my StarWars movies.” – Parker Hunt, 5,of Minneapolis

“I’m thankful for myfriends.” – Luke Jeschke, 5, ofBloomington

“I’m thankful for my friendstoo.” – Lizzie Jeschke, 5 ofBloomington

“I’m thankful for my family.”– Caden Sosa, 6, of Minneapolis

“I’m thankful for my familytoo.” – Bjorn Petersson, 5, ofMinneapolis

“I’m thankful to have mymommy and daddy.” – AndyBrown, 4, of Bloomington

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Spare the airTo the editor:

The Nov. 10 letter to the edi-tor “Keep your hands off myfire pit” echoed the worn-outrefrain of pro-tobacco propo-nents that it is their “right” topollute the air space of others.The demand to put personalenjoyment before public healthhad a bullying edge to it. The

deeper message implied was“Mess with my campfires andyou’ll be sorry.”

Cities in California and inother western states do havefines of up to $1,000 for burningon bad air days and at othertimes. This is not unreasonablewhen you consider the harm toothers and to the environment.Wood smoke also interfereswith the right of others to use

and enjoy their propertysmoke-free.

This issue deserves morescrutiny. Are backyard-burnersOK knowing that a child wentto the emergency room afterbreathing their wood smoke?Or that wood smoke can causepremature death in people ofall ages, and especially childrenand anyone with asthma?There is no safe level of wood

smoke.Happily, there are alterna-

tives to burning wood that arehealthier for everyone and farmore energy efficient. Portablegas and propane fire pits, andgas or electric indoor fireplaceinserts, are cool and state-of-the-art. Best of all, they sparethe air.

Swim club appeals pool policy decision

Edina City Council toconsider pool time issueBY KATIE MINTZ – SUN NEWSPAPERS

The Edina Swim Club is appealing arecent decision of the Edina Park Board toforgo setting a swim team use policy forthe Edina Aquatic Center.

The Edina City Council agreed to hearthe appeal at its meeting Tuesday, Nov. 15.The appeal will return to the councilTuesday evening, Dec. 20, at Edina CityHall.

The park board failed to act Monday,Nov. 7, on a proposed policy that wouldhave established the Edina Swim Club asthe city’s official youth association for thesport and granted it priority access to theEdina Aquatic Center.

A request for comment from the EdinaSwim Club regarding the appeal was notreturned at press time

Park staff proposed the policy followingthe group’s request for two additionalhours of pool time in summer 2012. That

time slot is currently held by the Aquajets,an Eden Prairie-based youth swimmingassociation.

The park board instead directed staff todecide how to allocate hours this summeruntil a new policy is developed and imple-mented for summer 2013. Absent a policy,Park and Recreation Director JohnKeprios said each club would keep itsexisting practice time. Last summer, theEdina Swim Club practiced 6-9:30 a.m. andthe Aquajets 9:30-11:30 a.m. before the poolopened to the general public.

According to park staff, the EdinaSwim Club is comprised of about 75 per-cent Edina residents while the Aquajets isabout 25 percent Edina residents. The pro-posed policy would have set the residencyrequirement at 75 percent to be consideredthe city’s official association for youthswimming.

Some park board members rejected thepolicy for its inconsistency with anothercity policy. Other Edina youth athleticassociations are held to a 90 percent resi-dency requirement for priority use of citygyms, fields and hockey rinks.

Edina Liquor collects1,703 pounds of food

The results are in from Edina Liquor’sOctober food drive.

Between the city’s three stores, 680pounds of food and $1,023 was donated tobenefit Volunteers Enlisted to AssistPeople, a non-profit agency serving low-income, senior and disabled people inEdina, Bloomington, Richfield and southMinneapolis.

Each dollar collected equals one poundof food, making this year’s grand total1,703 pounds of food – quadrupling lastyear’s results.

This was Edina Liquor’s fourth yearparticipating in the food drive. EdinaLiquor partnered with MillerCoors andthe Minnesota Municipal BeverageAssociation as part of a statewide fooddrive.

New to this year’s drive, Edina Liquorat Southdale held a paper-shredding eventthat allowed anyone to shred documentsfor free with a suggested food donation.

the students’ reaction and watchingtheir eyes grow as they listen.

“Most of them are interested in learn-ing. I can just tell,” he said.

Friedman said Nelson has been visit-ing Edina for decades, but in most cases,teachers submit an online request detail-ing the type of speaker or area of cur-riculum “on any and every possibletopic” they’d like to address. Then it’s upto her to find one.

“I give it my all and then some,” saidFriedman, who spends a lot of time onGoogle, cold-calling and emailing poten-tial visitors to find the right fit. Many ofthe people she contacts readily volunteertheir time.

Past speakers include the HennepinCounty Medical Examiner, military vet-erans, scientists, a kick boxer, doctors, aclinical psychologist, bankers and lawenforcement personnel among many oth-ers.

“Last year there was a total of about1,000 hours of presentations fromresource speakers and more than 2,300hours of classroom volunteering andafter-school homework help,” Friedmansaid.

On Tuesday, Nov. 15, CurriculumResources and Programs was responsi-ble for activity in several classrooms inaddition to Farmer Nelson visits atCreek Valley and Cornelia elementaryschools.

At Edina High School, a nutritionistfrom TRIA Orthopedic Center in Edinaspoke to students in creative foods, anEdina Heritage Preservation Boardmember and architect spoke to an interi-or design class and a representative fromthe Alzheimer’s Association spoke to ahealth class.

At Concord Elementary School, a his-torian told stories about NativeAmericans and the first Thanksgiving tofirst-graders, and a retired Honeywellelectrician visited fourth-graders for alesson on magnets and electricity.

Fourth-graders from Creek Valley also visitedthe Mill City Museum, and Countryside stu-dents in grades 3-5 went bowling for physicaleducation.

Friedman said many people want to getinvolved in Edina Public Schools, but oftendon’t know how to, especially adults withoutchildren. Curriculum Resources and Programsis a way to bring the greater community in.

About three years ago, the district alsolaunched the Community Volunteer Programaimed at community members who can helpregularly in classrooms and after school.

“There’s always a kid that needs help withalgebra,” Friedman said, noting she recentlyconnected a retired engineer with Edina HighSchool math students.

Marlys Ousky, a Title One teacher and vol-unteer coordinator at Cornelia, said she relieson the Community Volunteer Program for theschool’s Homework Helpers program.Homework Helpers meets 4-5 p.m. Tuesdaysand Thursdays for students in grades 3-5 whoneed extra support. Currently there are 28 stu-dents involved.

“This year we are fortunate to have one-to-one tutoring support for each student,” Ousky

said. “There are more studentswho would like to join and wewill add them as we get morevolunteers.”

Ousky said it’s a rewardingexperience on both ends.

“The volunteers are anotherperson in the students’ livesthat care about them, supportthem and encourage them. It isvery evident that the volun-teers are making a big differ-ence in the lives of the stu-dents,” Ousky said.

“I always feel like I have athree-way seesaw,” Friedmansaid of her role with both pro-grams.

Volunteers should feel wel-come and appreciated, teach-ers should see an educationalbenefit, and students shouldget something out of it, shesaid.

After one of the most brutal winters wehave encountered in the past 30 years, wehave all found things that need repair orreplacement on our homes. Many of us haveneeded to put off work being done to ourhomes do to economic hard times. Many ofus also put off projects to save money in casethings got worse. Our home values havegone down which makes it hard to even thinkabout selling our homes.

The reality is that we have to keep ourproperty in good shape to maintain our val-ues. Painting the exterior of our homes is byfar the best value to preserving our wood sur-faces and windows. We can also dramatical-ly change the appearance of the inside of ourhomes by updating colors. Painting wood-work is a very affordable option compared toreplacing old trim around our homes.

In many older homes our windows are stillgood, but the old stain and varnish are notholding up any more. You can save thou-sands of dollars by painting these windowsverses replacing windows. Updating your

basement family room can also be as easy aspainting the paneling.

I’m Paul Moore from Rightway PaintingSolutions. I’ve been in the painting businessfor over 20 years. Being a former ShopTeacher, I have a good background in finish-ing and wood replacement. We do both resi-dential and commercial painting. We dowork for several Town Home Associations,Nursing Homes and Residential Properties.

We give our customers great value bybeing able to not just paint. We replace orrepair wood, repair and reglaze older win-dows and reside areas that need replacement.We also repair decks and re stain decks. Onthe inside we repair walls, remove wallpaper,enamel wood work and paint paneling.

We offer a 2 year labor warrantee on ourlabor, provide references and we would behappy to give you a free estimate. For all ofyour painting needs give us a call at 612-839-2239.

in September to convert all three fire-places. Initially costs were pegged in thethousands.

Neal said Tuesday that was no longeran issue because the fireplaces arealready plumbed with natural gasstarters. Any additional expenses wouldbe nominal.

The decision before the council was amatter of mood and tradition versus pub-lic health, he said.

According to the commission’s resolu-tion, “wood smoke emits fine particu-lates that contain many of the same dead-ly toxins that are in tobacco smoke andvehicle exhaust,” including formalde-hyde, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbonsand other noxious pollutants.

Proponents of the conversion saidmany suffering asthma and other respi-ratory ailments can’t tolerate woodsmoke, which limits their access to thepublic park.

At the meeting, resident SarahPatzloff said she was concerned thechange would be the city’s first steptoward banning wood fires on privateland. She said exposure to wood smoke

and other potential nuisances come withthe territory of living in a metropolitanarea.

“I have to listen to my neighbor’slawnmower when I’m having a birthdayparty or whatever it is,” said Patzloff,who was recently elected to the EdinaSchool Board. “We all have things wehave to deal with when we live like this.Whether it’s on city property or our ownpersonal property, I believe it’s our rightto burn wood fires if we so choose.”

The council voted 3-1, withCouncilmember Mary Brindle dissent-ing, to compromise by converting two ofthe three fireplaces. CouncilmemberJosh Sprague was absent.

Councilmember Ann Swenson sug-gested the middle ground. She said shehas family members who are sensitive tosmoke, and being indoors with a wood-burning fireplace is less tolerable thanan exterior fireplace.

Brindle said aside from a vocal minor-ity, she has not heard complaints aboutwood smoke at Centennial Lakes Park.She said she would not support changingany of the fireplaces to gas.

“Centennial Lakes is such a specialplace, and the fireplaces and the fact thatthey burn wood, the atmosphere and the

mood they create, that’s part of the rea-son they go there,” Brindle said.

Councilmember Joni Bennett andMayor Jim Hovland both favored a fullconversion. Hovland said it would bedisingenuous for the city to continueburning wood when it encouragedPinstripes, a restaurant on the lake, toinstall gas fire pits. He said with the datathat is available, it seemed prudent forthe city to act.

“In a sense, this is a little bit to me likethe early days of the smoking ban activi-ty. This council took the lead from a pub-lic property standpoint saying we need tothink about public health and we bannedsmoking in parks,” Hovland said.

Bennett said the city should do what iswithin its power, and at low cost, to makepublic spaces accessible to all.

“I do think it’s a good statement for us

to be making as a city,” she said. “We doknow that there is science available onthis. We do know that there is impact onat least some of our residents.”

Julie Mellum, a member of the com-mission’s Air Quality Working Group, isone of those residents. Mellum said woodsmoke, along with tobacco smoke andother strong odors, are triggers for hersevere asthma.

Reached following the meeting, shesaid the decision to convert only two ofthe three wood-burning fireplaces to gaswas like voting to allow smoking in one ofthree restaurants near the park, especial-ly when smoking is not allowed in anyEdina park.

“Knowing the perils of wood smoke, itmakes sense to remove the barrier ofwood smoke to allow access to all parkpatrons, including those with disabilitieslike asthma,” she said. “In that area andin other public spaces, we’re all ‘smok-ing’ wood smoke whether we like it ornot. Many of us want to quit ‘smoking,’but we don’t have the choice.”

Council approvescommission

recommendationsOn Tuesday, Nov. 15, the Edina City

Council also unanimously adopted twoother ordinances stemming fromEdina Energy and EnvironmentCommission recommendations.

One bans the use of any coal-tarsealant in the city.

According to Utility Engineer JesseStruve, the product typically used ondriveways and parking lots introducespolycystic aromatic hydrocarbons, orPAHs, into the environment. PAHsbond to sediment and enter ponds,lakes and streams through stormwaterrunoff. The particles are probablehuman carcinogens, he said.

“There is a viable alternative tocoal-tar-based sealants in asphalt-based sealants, which contain approxi-mately one-sixty-fifth of the PAHamount,” Struve said.

The city discontinued its use ofcoal-tar sealant in 2009. Other statesand cities, including 10 in Minnesotaas of August, have also banned it. Thecity’s ordinance is based on a modelfrom the League of Minnesota Cities.It will be enforced on a complaintbasis.

The other ordinance makes changesto the city’s code regarding collectionand disposal of refuse and recyclables.

An exception for compostable mate-rials was added to the volume-basedfee schedule that requires wastehaulers to charge based on volume orweight for other refuse. The new ordi-nance also requires haulers to providea yard waste container for grass clip-ping, leaves and other compostablematerials to customers if requested.

Garbage haulers must now also sub-mit quarterly reports to the city aboutamount of waste collected in city.Currently, the city only receivesreports about the amount of recy-clables collected.

It’s an Edina ‘Gold’ rushHornets win state girlsswimming, diving title BY JOHN SHERMAN – SUN NEWSPAPERS

Senior Nikki Larson set the tone andher Edina High teammates followed suitNov. 19 in the state Class AA swimmingand diving finals at the University ofMinnesota Aquatic Center.

The result was a landslide for statechampion Edina as the Hornets scored 316points to 188 for second-place Minnetonka.Stillwater (171), Eden Prairie (165) andRochester John Marshall (141) roundedout the top five.

Larson stood at the top of the victorystand five times during the finals. Shepicked up first places in the 100-yard but-terfly and 200 freestyle, celebrated withtwo winning relays and, finally, acceptedthe state team championship trophy.

“Nikki had the four best swims of hercareer,” said Edina head coach Jeff Mace.“She is a great leader, along with our otherseniors. All of them have put the fortunesof the team ahead of their own.”

Edina opened championship night witha victory in the 200 medley relay.Madeleine Eden, Olivia Anderson, PaigeHaller and Maryellen Campbell swam atime of 1 minute, 45.65 seconds.

BY JOHN SHERMAN – SUN NEWSPAPERS

Edina Country Club tennis profes-sional Greg Wicklund came to the sportalmost by accident.

But it was no accident that he wasinducted into the United States TennisAssociation’s Northern Section Hall ofFame during ceremonies Oct. 14 atInternational Market Square inMinneapolis.

Wicklund, who has been a tennis proin Edina for 29 years, has worked withsome of the metro area’s best players,including Minnetonka’s DavidWheaton and Edina standoutsJeannette Cluskey, Justin Gaard, ChrisSherman and Whitney Taney.

Getting back to the story of how hegot involved in the sport, Wicklund did-n’t start playing until he was 16 yearsold.

“My parents bought a house across

the street from Sibley Park inMinneapolis, and the park had two ten-nis courts,” Wicklund recalled. “Inthose days you sometimes had to waitto get on a court.”

Wicklund played for hours on thosecourts with some of his buddies fromRoosevelt High School. He found outright away that he had a knack for thegame.

“I had played baseball, basketball,hockey and golf, but once I started play-ing tennis, it was my sport,” he said.

Wicklund played in the state tourna-ment as a junior and then made it tothe state championship match in hissenior season.

He was offered a tennis scholarshipby University of Minnesota coachJerry Noyce and quickly accepted.

With the Gophers, he won the BigTen Conference singles title in 1981, thesame year the Gophers won the confer-

ence team title.“It was an

honor to play atMinnesota andan honor to playfor Jerry Noyce,”said Wicklund.

After his play-ing career endedat Minnesota,Wicklund stayedon for six yearsas Noyce’s assis-tant coach. At thesame time, hestarted his career as a teaching pro.

“I knew when I was in college that Iwanted to teach tennis for a living,”said Wicklund, who has continued toplay in tournaments to this day.

“Teaching the game is fun for me,”he said. “I think I get more excited thanmy players do when they win.”

Wheaton, who was ranked 12th inthe world at one time, is Wicklund’smost successful student.

“I started hitting with David whenhe was 14 and I was 24,” said Wicklund.“We still keep in touch and still hitsometimes.”

Wicklund said the game has changedover the years, but it is still played onthe same-sized court, so the impor-tance of well-placed shots has notchanged.

“Technology and equipment havedefinitely changed,” said Wicklund.“Players are faster, more fit and capa-ble of hitting the ball harder. When Iplayed it was more of a finesse game.”

Wicklund still wants his students tograsp the need for finesse.

“When I work with young players, Iteach strokes, strategy and footworkand also cover all the intricacies of thegame,” said Wicklund.

Edina girls want that cake Edina High’s girls hockey

team is hungry for cake.Not the kind you buy at

Jerry’s or Byerly’s, but the kindyou can only win on the rink.

The Hornets will host privateschool powers Benilde-St.Margaret’s, Blake and Breck inthe annual Cake-Eater Classicthis weekend at Braemar Arena.

In first-round games Friday,Nov. 25, Edina will face Breck at6 p.m. and Benilde will playBlake at 8.

There will be two gamesSaturday, Nov. 26, with the third-place game at 6 p.m. and thechampionship game at 8.

“Since I became coach here,we have not won the Cake-EaterClassic,” said Edina head coachLaura Slominski.

That’s a little bit surprisingbecause the Hornets have fin-ished third and second in thestate Class AA tournament thepast two seasons.

“This tournament is a greatshowcase for girls hockey tal-ent,” said Slominski. “It shouldbe a great tournament.”

Edina is off to a 2-0-1 startand could be a state contenderonce again.

“In our opener we tied Blaine3-3 and all three of Blaine’s goalswere power-play goals,” saidSlominski.

The next two games featured

tougher defense from theHornets, who beat Eastview 9-1and Lakeville South 2-1.

A productive line has alreadyemerged. Junior Sarah Nielsenis the center with junior LizTrautz on right wing and ninth-grader Taylor Williamson on leftwing.

Trautz had a hat trick againstEastview. Williamson had apoint on each of the goalsagainst Blaine.

Lizzy Otten scored on thepower play to lift the Hornetsover Lakeville South.

“We lost a lot of our scoringto graduation,” said Slominski.“This year we have to focus ondefense first. We are very fortu-nate to have Maddie Dahlreturning in goal for her senioryear.

“Our defensive corps is thekey. We have Megan Armstrong,Ali Austin, Emily Eide and LizzyOtten returning. Add EmmaSchatz and Shelby Anderson,and we have six really solid

defensemen.”The Hornets are a young team,

younger than usual, anyway. The eightseniors on varsity are Armstrong, Austin,Dahl, Otten, Anna Bartz, Hannah Burns,Renee Johnson and Kelly McGarvey.

Hornet junior Brianna Bellows is thedaughter of former NHL star BrianBellows.

Last of the LeersNick Leer, senior forward for the Edina

High boys hockey team, is the last of threebrothers to skate for coach Curt Giles.

It started with Robbie Leer, who team-mates called “the Jet.” Then there wasMatt Leer. I gave him the nickname“King.”

Both of them were fast, physical play-ers who weren’t shy about banging alongthe boards.

Does Nick Leer need a nickname? We’lllet the fans decide.

Anyone notice?Does anyone else notice that the Lake

Conference is winning all of the state fallsports titles?

Edina won girls swimming and tennis.Wayzata won girls soccer. Eden Prairiewon girls volleyball. And this week eitherEden Prairie or Wayzata will win the statefootball title.

Lake teams didn’t win in boys or girlscross country, but wait until next year.

Conclusion: The Lake Conference is thestate’s best, and no one can dispute that.

Look for more dominance from theLake in winter sports – Hopkins or EdenPrairie in girls basketball, Edina, Wayzataor Minnetonka in girls hockey, EdenPrairie and Edina in boys hockey, Hopkinsin boys basketball and Minnetonka, Edinaand Eden Prairie in boys swimming.

No one ever beats Apple Valley inwrestling – you can take that to the bank –but Eden Prairie, Edina, Hopkins, Tonkaand Wayzata all have good individuals.Two of the best are Nick O’Brien ofWayzata and Sam Brancale of EdenPrairie.

Edina ball-handlingwizard takes DI offerBY JOHN SHERMAN – SUN NEWSPAPERS

Evan Panken, Edina High’s All-State midfielder, will continue his soc-cer career at the University of NotreDame next fall.

Known for his ball-handling skillsand playmaking, Panken first caughtthe Irish eyes during a camp at theSouth Bend, Ind., campus in 2010.

Later on, the Irish coaches watchedhim play in tournaments at WaltDisney’s Wide World of Sports inOrlando and in Dallas. Then a partialscholarship offer was made.

“The offer came at the start of the[recruiting] process,” said Panken.“The only other school I visited wasCreighton.”

Why did Panken choose NotreDame?

“I like the school, I like the campusand also the size of the school [9,000undergraduates],” said Panken. “NotreDame offers a strong academic pro-gram, and I really like the coaches.”

Soccer tradition also played a partin Panken’s decision. Notre Dame hasqualified for the NCAA tournament 10of the last 11 years.

Division I soccer has been Panken’sgoal almost since he started playing.

“This is the culmination of a lot ofhard work,” he said. “And I have hadgreat coaching in Edina from DaveJenson and Bill Garner. They went outof their way to make me a better play-er.”

Although he missed the last fewgames of the 2011 season with a brokenfoot, Panken still managed seven goalsand eight assists. His main contribu-tion was his ability to possess the ball,

even in the tightest quarters. Once hefound an opening, his passing wasspot-on and his shot often caught agoalkeeper flat-footed.

“Ball handling involves a lot ofpractice and a lot of drills,” he said. “Itwas something I could do on my own.”

Panken played four years of varsitysoccer at Edina High, improving sub-stantially each year, according toJenson. He made the all-conferenceteam as a junior and again as a senior.

At the outset of the 2011 season, hewas eager to win All-State honors aswell as a state title.

“You can’t take something like thatfor granted,” he said. “My main focuswas on helping the team win.”

Late in the season, Edina wasrolling along with only one loss, but arash of injuries blotted out a potentialchampionship season and the Hornetsfinished 13-4-1.

The injury bug also bit forward JensUndlin, midfielder Michael Murneyand defender Joe Budenske, but thebiggest loss was Panken, who con-trolled so much of the game from mid-field.

“Losing Evan was obviously a bigblow,” said Jenson. “You can’t replacethe best player in the state, and on topof that we lost Jens [Undlin], one ofthe best forwards in the state.”

Undlin was able to return for theplayoffs, but wasn’t able to go fullthrottle.

“We were a good team without Evanand a very, very good team with him,”said Jenson. “To his credit, he madeeveryone around him better.”

Jenson called Panken “a perfection-ist.”

“That’s a good description of me,”said Panken. “I expect a lot frommyself, and I expect a lot from myteammates.”

I think we can all agree that eating is fun. Not only is it a way for us to socialize,reward ourselves and comfort ourselves, it also is the one area of fitness wherepeople have the most trouble. Wouldn’t it be great to know that the choices youmake are actually helping your fitness program? More importantly, wouldn’t it beeven better to banish the word “diet” from your vocabulary?

Chances are, if you are embarking on a “diet”, it will have a beginning and an end.The end is usually followed by slowly going back to old habits and ends you rightback where you started. With our clients, we really encourage them to focus on aLifestyle Change with room for “cheat meals” and realistic goals; which inevitablylead to lifelong results and without the emotional roller coaster of a diet.

Core/Conditioning Training’s List of “Fat Burning Foods”

By: Ali Holman, co-owner of www.coreconditioningtraining.com

beansBeans are one of the best sources of protein, fiber and iron. Some of the best beans to ear are: • Navy Beans • White Beans • Kidney Beans • Lima Beans

eggsEggs are high in protein and low in calories. You may have heard all the warnings about eggs and your health: opt for egg- whites for the low-cholesterol, fat- burning effect. Eggs also contain the vitamin B-12, a great supplement for breaking down fat cells.

low-fat dairyStudies show that women who eat low-fat dairy products (such as non-fat yogurt and low-fat milk) three to four times a day lost 70 percent more fat than low-dairy dieters.

oatmealOatmeal is loaded with soluble fiber, which helps reduce blood cholesterol by flushing those bad digestive acids out of your system. Skip the flavored oatmeals - you lose out on all the health benefits. If you must sweeten your oatmeal, do so by adding fruit.

olive oil Certain fats are good for you, and your body needs them. Olive oil is one of those “good fats.” It helps you burn fat and keeps your cholesterol down. One ounce of extra virgin olive oil contains about 85% of the daily value for monosaturated fat.

lean meatsSearch for lean meats - chicken (baked, broiled, grilled), fish and turkey - which are all high in protein. It is a good rule of thumb to consume at least one half-gram protein per pound of body weight each day. A chicken breast gets you well on your way, with about 22 grams of protein.

whole grainsOur body needs carbohydrates, despite what the fad diets tell you. Avoid processed carbohydrates such as white breads, bagles, pastas and white rice and look for whole grains that have not been processed and contain the fiber and minerals your body needs.

Interval training is defined as short, repeated bouts of intense exercise with minimal rest. You can burn major calories and get an all-over workout in less than 30 minutes. When you see people who are “cut,” chances ar they are partaking in interval training.
