The walls are crashingdown.

Richfield’s formerWoodlake Plaza shopping cen-ter is being torn down to makeway for a new 94-unit apart-ment complex.

The 2.5-acre project at 6401Lyndale Ave. S. has long beenunder development, andscrutiny. After a few modifica-tions to the plan and the relo-cation of tenants in thesparsely populated building,demolition is underway. Ayear from now one-, two- andthree-bedroom units should beready for occupancy, accord-ing to Terry McNellis, a part-ner in the Lyndale Plaza proj-ect.

When the project wasunder consideration in 2010,neighboring residents object-ed to a high-density residen-tial development at the site.Opponents argued that thecity had too many apartmentsalready. Representatives ofproject developer and siteowner Michael Development

argued that their proposedunits would provide a higheramenity level than existingrental units in the city, a mar-ket they contended was under-served.

The project was approvedfor 90 units, but the final plancalls for 94 units, a result ofproject improvements thispast spring, according to JohnStark, Richfield’s communitydevelopment director.

Units will have nine-footceilings, underground park-ing, granite countertops andin most cases in-unit washersand dryers, according toMcNellis.

Of the 94 units, 53 will beone bedroom. There will be 32two-bedroom units and ninethree-bedroom units. Rentsare expected to range from$785 to $1,250 per month forone-bedroom units, two-bed-room units are projected torend for $1,475 to $1,650. Threebedroom units will rent forabout $1,750, McNellis said.The project will include 19units reserved for tenants at

Domestic abuse is pervasiveThe most prevalentviolence in ourcommunities, saysprevention advocateBY PAUL GROESSEL – SUN NEWSPAPERS

If the level and amount of violenceinside area homes was moved outside, tothe visible street corners, “people wouldbe up in arms,” said Bob Olson ofCornerstone, the domestic abuse pre-vention agency, based in Bloomington.

Olson, a retired Eden Prairie policesergeant, said domestic abuse, especial-ly in the suburbs, is the most prevalentform of violence in our communities.

That message he regularly sharescomes on the heels of October’s domes-tic violence awareness month. Olson hasbeen working with Cornerstone sincehis February retirement from the EdenPrairie Police Department, where heserved on the Domestic Abuse ResponseTeam, known as DART.

The unit won the Minnesota CrimePrevention Association’s Team of theYear Award in October 2010 for its serv-ices. That actively works with domesticabuse victims and potential victims toreduce violence in homes.

That message is also on the heals ofViking’s defensive back Chris Cook’sfelony charge for allegedly stranglinghis girlfriend at his Eden Prairie resi-dence Oct. 22.

In Eden Prairie, Sgt. Dennis Paulsonsaid, from his perspective, there are

domestic calls on a regular basis. Thereis about an arrest once a week and adomestic call of some kind – whetherverbal or physical – during every shift, itseems.

It doesn’t have to be extreme to bedomestic abuse, Paulson said. It could beverbal abuse, a push, a slap, a hit.

To further reduce domestic violence,Eden Prairie police, as well as Edina andSt. Louis Park, have implemented alethality screening – questions that offi-cers responding to a domestic call canask the victim. Bloomington andRichfield, the other two citiesCornerstone serves, plan on implement-ing it, Olson said.

Cornerstone hired Olson under a fed-eral grant to coordinate prevention andawareness efforts among the five citiesCornerstone serves, the police depart-ments and judicial system.

Paulson, now leading Eden Prairie’sDART, said the lethality screening ismeant to measure how much of a real orpotential danger someone could be in.The screenings are given when respond-ing to all domestic abuse calls involvingintimate partners who live together.

The first three of the dozen yes or noquestions can trigger the biggestalarms, Paulson said. They ask if a part-ner has ever used or threatened to use aweapon against the other, if the partnerhas ever threatened children and if thevictim thinks if her partner is trying tokill her.

They may seem like obvious ques-tions, but the form has created a regi-

Sure, don’t vote, and see if I care (I do)It’s your right not to vote.No, really, it is.It’s foolish, but you’re well

within your rights to stay homeon Nov. 8 and not participate inthe processes that have a dis-tinct effect on your life. Noone’s going to show up at yourdoor and haul you off for avoid-ing the polls.

Everyone knows voting is apretty darn good thing to do,but apparently that’s notenough to get the unmotivatedmoving, so here’s hoping thiscolumn nudges you off thecouch and into the voting box.

Break it down however youwant – as a nation, state, countyor city, we are governed by indi-viduals who are placed intopositions of power by a votingprocess. Without this process,we’d be no better than a lawless

mob. We rely on that process toensure we have leadershipdivined by the people to be thebest we can come up with. And,if they’re not the best, at leastthe people choose our ownelected officials.

In my mind, they should bechosen by all the people. Atleast those who can vote.

According to George MasonUniversity’s United StatesElections Project, about2,123,369 Minnesotans voted inthe 2010 general elections. Theproject also states that 3,799,328

Minnesotans were consideredeligible to vote that year. Simplemath will show that 1,675,959legally eligible voters decided itwasn’t worth the time.

There are those who do notcare about the outcomes ofelections. Those who feel theprocess has gone awry or hon-estly just don’t care about thequality of our roads, the educa-tion our nation’s – or morespecifically, this city’s – chil-dren are getting, or the direc-tion in which our tax dollarsare being spent.

So if that’s your goal, stayhome. Turn on the TV, spend anhour or two with the “real”housewives of who-really-caresand check out of active society.It really doesn’t matter. To youanyway. Apparently 44 percentof Minnesotans don’t care, so at

least you won’t be alone in yourapathy.

But please, please, pleasedon’t think you can only chooseto participate when you feellike it and still be taken serious-ly.

If you choose not to educateyourself on the issues, not toget to know the candidates andultimately not to vote, pleasedon’t sit back in your Laz-E-Boyand complain about how thingsare going.

Again, it’s your right not tovote. And, thanks to the FirstAmendment – personally, myfavorite amendment – it’s yourright to grumble and mumbleabout the sad state of affairswhen you couldn’t take thetime to exercise your constitu-tionally protected freedoms.

But I don’t want to hear it.

The changing world of gathering news

Maybe it’s my age or per-haps a generational thing thathas caused me to notice, butthe world of print mediaseems to be changing consid-erably from not too long ago.The use of a pen or pencil anda reporter’s notebook isbecoming used less to newforms of newsgathering,which requires one to remainknowledgeable and engagedin these techniques.

When I began my career inthe media in the mid-’90s,most new technology was notavailable, thus requiring all ofus in the field to pick up tele-phones, get in our vehicles,and travel to destinationsnear and far. This was inbroadcast media, but the gath-ering techniques were on parwith print, mostly.

The Internet had not takenhold, and of course it did notyet have the impact on peoplein the way it seems to affect usall in many ways. And eventhen, my image of a reporter,from old TV shows andmovies, was that of a busyman with messy clothes andperhaps a 5 o’clock shadow,and a “press” ID in his hatwhile wearing a trench coat.

In fact, this idea of an “oldschool reporter” is so outdat-

ed that it is now being offered to all as aHalloween costume. It’s not and certain-ly has not been a representation of whata modern-day reporter looks like. Now,we like everyone else from many walksof life.

If you are a movie or TV fan, I amsure you’ve seen images of an old news-room. The reporters, in between LouGrant yelling to finish their stories yes-terday, were still hammering away onold word processors, or maybe eventypewriters. And with no walls to sepa-rate reporters from one another, it waschaos, and loud.

This atmosphere fortunately does notexist here at Sun Newspapers, but it stilldoes elsewhere. The difference, however,is it exists only in the energy that comeswith reporting the news on deadline.

In our time of nearly instant notifica-tion of events, or just communication ingeneral, all of the old tools have beenpushed aside to make room for morethan just computers but all these arecapable of. Much work is done by moni-toring sites online, and in some cases,the Internet is the primary source fornews tips.

Some reporters no longer take noteswith pad and pen but instead type noteseither during an interview or after, hav-ing recorded the entire conversationwith a digital voice recorder. You stillsee reporter’s notebooks, but certainlyan alternative is being us as well.

The gathering process makes itadvantageous to any reporter to know ofand how to use new software and onlinesites daily. Instead of a fax, we haveportable document files, (PDFs). Thesereplaced the traditionally faxed newsreleases. We still have a fax machine

here, but it’s not used a great deal.Online streaming has made it possi-

ble to view meetings without leaving theoffice. In other words, a reporter caneither watch a meeting remotely as it isoccurring or watch it at another time.

With the advent of sites likeFacebook, Twitter, as well as websitesfor local governments and many otherkey news-related institutions, reporterscan now monitor activity, engage in anydiscussions, and most of all we can gath-er news using these new sources simplywith an Internet access.

For example, Twitter is being used bythe Minnesota Sate Patrol to instantlyprovide information related to crashscenes, most notably the crash thatclaimed the life of two constructionworkers on the Interstate 35W MnPASSland. This allowed for nearly instant,quotable information from a directsource on the scene.

Pages like Facebook allow a reporterto “like” an event or an individual tomonitor what is happening with theevent or whay someone said about.Sometimes this can lead to news if it isnot newsworthy itself. As widely used asit is, though, Facebook does not havewhat a news site features.

The difficulty as one who did notgrow up with all of this new technologyis the need to remain on the cuttingedge. It does not come as naturally tothose my age and older, but I welcomethis challenge as my belief is most peo-ple will eventually need familiarity withmost forms of technology in the years tocome.

Now, with smartphones being soprevalent in our society, and the abilitythey have as “mini computers,” it’s not astretch to say that the future of newsgathering and reporting will continue tochange. The trick is, as I’ve said, is tostay on top of this so you don’t get leftbehind.

mented standard for victims, potentialvictims, the police department, advo-cates and the court system.

Since Eden Prairie police officers andother departments screen someone inevery domestic call, something thatcould otherwise be missed is accountedfor, Olson and Paulson said.

Olson offered an example. There wasan incident where a police responded toa verbal argument at a home. After talk-ing with and screening the woman whilethe man was gone, police found out shehad been in an abusive relationship foryears. If the police had not gone throughthe screening, they wouldn’t haveknown. Even though it had not been

reported and no criminal action couldbe taken for the argument, the womanwas able to contact Cornerstone and isnow receiving help.

The streamlined process also helps incourt, Olson said. The standard judicialaction for a fifth-degree domestic assaultfor a first-time offender is to release thedefendant, with conditions, until thecourt hearings or trial begins.

In one incident, the judge could seefrom the lethality screening that thedefendant was at high risk for violentlyoffending his partner, so the judge,under his authority of reasonable cause,was able to hold him in jail and set bailat $30,000.

Eden Prairie police have startedusing the assessment since Olsonretired, but they have always referredevery domestic abuse victim – regard-less of the severity of the incident – toCornerstone. Officers also make contactCornerstone after making contact witha victim, so Cornerstone can follow upas well.

Olson urges anyone who may be a vic-tim of domestic abuse, or anyone whoknows a potential victim, to contactCornerstone at 952-884-0330 or Day OneMN Domestic Violence Crisis Line at 1-866-223-1111.

Family Partnership receives national awardService agency hasoffices in Brooklyn Parkand BloomingtonBY MIKE HANKS – SUN NEWSPAPERS

Most years the staff at FamilyPartnership foregoes the applicationprocess for national recognition, con-sidering its accomplishments lackingin some category of the award crite-ria.

In reviewing its accomplishmentsduring the most recent year, however,the Twin Cities organization deter-mined that it met the criteria outlinedfor the Agency of the Year award pre-sented by the Alliance for Childrenand Families.

The Alliance for Children andFamilies agreed, naming FamilyPartnership the recipient of itsAgency of the Year Award for mid-size

agencies.“To be recognized is really a signif-

icant honor for us,” said MollyGreenman, the president and CEO ofFamily Partnership.

The nonprofit organization has along history in Minnesota. Founded in1878 to assist families moving toMinneapolis from outstate farms andacross the country, as well as immi-grant populations seeking employ-ment in the burgeoning Minneapolisgrain mill and lumber industries, theorganization continues its work to thisday, providing counseling, educationprograms and advocacy, Greenmanexplained.

With offices in Minneapolis,Bloomington and Brooklyn Park, theorganization works through schools,churches, service organizations,social workers and correctional insti-tutions to assist people with a widearray of issues. From assisting vic-tims of domestic abuse to kinder-

garten readiness programs, FamilyPartnership’s staff of about 100, and anetwork of more than 1,600 volun-teers, provide assistance and outreachto residents primarily in Minneapolis,St. Paul and first-ring suburbs,Greenman said.

“We cannot be all things to all peo-ple,” she noted, but calls for assistanceare never turned away. “We will helpthem get to the service they do need,”she said.

The organization is funded throughgovernment contracts, United Way,private foundation and corporategrants and individual donations,according to Greenman. FamilyPartnership charges for some servic-es, such as counseling, but those oftenqualify for medical assistance dollars,she noted. Its annual budget is $8.5million, Greenman said.

Family Partnership’s Bloomingtonoffice opened in 1974, at the request ofUnited Way and Hennepin County. The

Brooklyn Park office followed a fewyears later. “There weren’t a lot ofservices out there for families andkids,” she said. “We responded to aneed.”

The Alliance for Children andFamilies includes about 350 organiza-tions nationwide. FamilyPartnership’s award is its first. Theaward recognizes excellence in boardgovernance, leadership, advocacy andprogramming innovation, accordingto Greenman. “It’s a seal of approval,in a way, from our national organiza-tion,” she said.

“This exceptional organization hasproven its commitment to living itsmission each day,” said PolinaMakievsky, COO of Alliance forChildren and Families.

Information about FamilyPartnership services and locations isavailable online at thefamilypartner-ship.org.

Toastmasters develops leaders and communicatorsMore than 200Toastmasters clubs meetweekly throughout themetro areaBY MATTHEW HANKEY – SUN NEWSPAPERS

A club exists where people canenhance their speaking skills, as well asleadership abilities. These people commitonly one hour per week to attend the meet-ings.

This club is called Toastmasters.There are numerous Toastmasters

clubs around the metro area, with morethan 230 clubs located within a 50-mileradius of the 55122 Eagan Zip Code.

Toastmasters International was found-ed in 1924 and has had more than 4 millionmembers join its ranks. Currently, thereare 270,000 members worldwide who meetweekly at 13,000 clubs.

Club 3561 is Blues CommunicationsPlus, which meets 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.each Wednesday at the Blue Cross BlueShield Anoka Room, 3535 Blue Cross Road

in Eagan.The club has 20 members, mostly Blue

Cross employees, but others are invited tojoin.

“One fourth to one third of our mem-bers are outside of Blue Cross BlueShield,” said Vice President of PublicRelations Bill Johnson.

Toastmasters members are assignedroles for each meeting.

The “Toastmaster” serves as the hostor master of ceremonies. The“Grammarian” presents a word for theday that all members are encouraged touse throughout the meeting. Other mem-bers provide a thought for the day, givespeeches or provide feedback on each pre-senter’s speeches.

The “Ah Counter” listens for words andphrases used as pause fillers or verbalcrutches – words such as “ah,” “um,” and“you know.”

“That feedback helps us to hear ourspeaking ability, even though we mightnot want to hear it,” said Vice President ofMembership Dave Johnson, who acted asthe Oct. 26 meeting General Evaluator.

The “General Evaluator” providesfeedback to all meeting participants,describing positives as well providing sug-

gestions for improvement.Toastmasters Club 3561 President

Jackie Maher joined the club nearly twoyears ago, and said becoming a memberhas been invaluable part of her life.

“It’s been a great experience – life-changing in every way,” Maher said.

Maher said many new members areinstantly hooked and drawn to the club.

For many, it’s a highlight of their lives.“I’ve heard many say that this is the

best part of their whole week,” she said.“Not only practicing their public speakingskills, but also their leadership skills.”

Becoming a Toastmasters memberhelped Bill Johnson grow socially and as aleader.

“Coming to Toastmasters has offeredme an opportunity to come out of myshell,” Johnson said. “It’s not a pure socialsetting, but it’s a setting where people aretrying to encourage you.”

New Toastmaster club members areassigned mentors who help set goals andbenchmarks. New members must presenta timeline or framework for how manyspeeches they will give in any given time.

When Jackie Maher joined, she choseto give 10 speeches throughout the firstone and a half years of her membership.

“It’s really at your pace to help youalong the way, which is really nice,”Maher said.

Toastmasters focuses on two types ofspeeches, impromptu and prepared, BillJohnson said.

People who work in a managementpositions give impromptu speeches con-stantly, even if they do not realize it.Toastmasters can help refine those skills,he said.

“If you have a job that requires you tointeract with the public, you’re constantlydoing impromptu speeches,” Johnsonsaid. “Our club helps track you in speech-es and leadership.”

Though the Toastmasters meet weekly,it is understood that career and other out-side conflicts may inhibit members fromattending each meeting.

Toastmasters clubs meet throughoutthe metro area, including Apple Valley,Burnsville, Eagan, Bloomington, GoldenValley, Richfield and Eden Prairie,Plymouth, St. Louis Park, Minnetonkaand Brooklyn Center.

During an 8-10 minute preparedspeech, Bill Johnson summed up what

Apple Valley PETCO to host pet adoption eventMore than 50 animalsup for adoption at theNov. 5-6 eventBY MATTHEW HANKEY – SUN NEWSPAPERS

In these trying economic times, peo-ple have been stressed, tensed and somepushed to the brink. Often times, whathappens to people’s pets can go unno-ticed.

Natural disasters in the southernUnited States, as well as local home fore-closures have provided a wave of ani-mals to animal shelters, human soci-eties and rescue shelters.

The Apple Valley PETCO will do itspart to help find homes for a small per-centage of the thousands of animalswho need a permanent residence.

PETCO will host a Mega Adoptionevent 10 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 5,and 12-4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 6, at 7590 W.150th St. in Apple Valley, at the corner ofHighway 42 and Cedar Avenue.

The event will help local homelesspets find homes and give animal loversin the area an opportunity to meet atleast 60 different animals each day.

Event activities include a “Spin andWin” game for special prizes and guestscan also receive pet nutrition advicefrom Natural Balance, Nutro and BlueBuffalo pet food representatives.

Local animal rescue shelters on handinclude the Farmington-based LastHope Inc., Braveheart Rescue fromHastings and Angel of Hope from St.Paul.

Lee Knauf, general manager at theApple Valley PETCO, urges people toattend the event and consider if petadoption is right for them.

“They need to come to the eventbecause there are thousands of home-less pets that need new homes,” Knaufsaid. “That would be the main reason.”

Last Hope and PETCO partner eachSaturday for pet adoption events andBraveheart Rescue also works closelywith PETCO.

The Nov. 5-6 adoption event is the firstof its kind hosted by the Apple ValleyPETCO.

Knauf will consider the event a suc-cess, “if all the cats and dogs get ahome,” he said. “It just depends upontwo things – how many animals areadopted and if nothing else, getting theawareness out to the public that thereare a lot more groups out there than justthe humane societies.”

Bev Orr, president of Last Hope Inc.,

says the need has never been greater foranimals to be adopted.

“They need ‘forever’ homes,” Orrsaid. “Right now with the economy theway it has been, there is a need for us.I’ve been doing this for 27 years and I’venever seen anything like it. We don’thave room for all of them. Every time weadopt one out, we can bring another in.”

Events like the upcoming MegaAdoption are vital for groups like LastHope because it gives them a publicpresence they don’t normally have.

“We do not have a shelter,” Orr said.“All of our animals are in foster homes.That’s why PETCO is so important.They allow us to bring [the animals]directly to the store.”

Through September, Last Hope hadadopted out 1,311 animals this year, andhave roughly 100 staying at foster homesat one time.

All the animals at the adoption eventhave been vaccinated spayed or

neutered and have gone to a veterinari-an for inspection.

Last Hope pets can be adopted start-ing at $100 and all Braveheart Rescuedogs can be adopted for $250 regardlessof gender, breed or age, said BraveheartPresident Brandi Tracy.

Tracy keeps 25-30 dogs at her five-acreproperty. Eventually, her goal is to have100 acres to accommodate more than 100dogs at a time.

She can give dogs more space andfreedom other shelters cannot afford.

“It’s so much better for them to be ina home or a place like mine,” Tracy said.“The dogs are outside during the dayfour hours in the morning and four tofive hours at night.”

Many of the dogs Tracy takes in havecome from places destroyed or damagedby natural disasters such as hurricanesand floods, or from homes that have beenforeclosed on and the owners can nolonger care for them.

The longer the animals go withoutpermanent homes, the more love andattention they need, Tracy said.

“So many of these dogs need to berehabbed,” Tracy said. “They need to getfriendly with dogs again. They need toget friendly with humans again.”

Tracy views the PETCO adoptionevent as a way to get out her messageregarding the rescue and adopting out ofpets.

“What’s important for the public totry and understand, people have decidedthat euthanization is no longer a viableway to treat animals that have beenabandoned or hurt, or owner surren-dered,” Tracy said.

Last Hope, Inc. calls itself “a chain oflove for animals,” said Orr. “It’s alwaysbeen our standing saying. They really doneed people who care.”

Choosing a major is often metwith trepidation. College studentsmay feel pressured to choose amajor when they are less than cer-tain about what they want to study.Majors aren’t set in stone and stu-dents have the opportunity to switchconcentrations if their originalchoice isn’t the right fit.

Perhaps now more than ever,there is pressure on students to pickthe right college major. In this weakeconomy, experts are touting advice

on choosing a major that gives stu-dents the best chance of finding a jobafter graduation. The NationalCenter for Education Statistics saysthat in 2007-2008, the most popularmajors were business, social sci-ences, history, and education.According to Capital University, stu-dents usually have so many intereststhat they have difficulty narrowingtheir choices. Their first inclinationis not to declare a major and wait tosee if they find their niche.

In general, two out of every threeuniversity students change majorsat least once. This should give hopeto students who feel they need achance. Here are some tips thatshould help with the process.

* Wait to declare. Many educatorsadvise waiting a semester or twobefore declaring a major. Take a vari-ety of elective courses and general

education classes that will fit degreerequirements regardless of major.

* Take an assessment test. Thecareer or guidance office may offersome of the standardized tools tohelp students find an area of con-centration.

* Do your research. If you’re con-sidering a new major, talk to youradvisor about what will be requiredof that new major, including classesand other coursework. You can alsotalk to students currently studyingunder that major. Knowing what toexpect beforehand can make thedecision-making process a little eas-ier.

* Talk to the dean. Many collegesand universities have deans or advi-sors in charge of students in certainmajors. They will know the coursesrequired for a degree. Switchingmajors may involve taking or re-tak-

ing some courses that will fit withthe new major. It may also mean thatsome courses that were taken can-not be applied to the new major. Thiscan result in having to take moreclasses one semester or taking anextra semester to graduate.

* Consider finances. Taking dif-ferent classes or stretching out yourcollege career an additional semes-ter might cost more money. Be surethat the finances are there, whetherpersonally provided or fundedthrough financial aid.

* Assess whether your majortruly matters. Many liberal arts orgeneral studies majors are applica-ble in many fields. Therefore,switching majors may not even benecessary. Think about continuingwith a current major and then con-centrate or minor in somethingmore specific.

Twin Cities business owners form PetPACBY KATIE MINTZ – SUN NEWSPAPERS

Like their customers, agroup of Twin Cities businessowners have taken to runningin a pack.

Pet Professionals andCompanies, or PetPAC, bringstogether pet industry leadersand non-profit groups to net-work and share resources.

Sonja Tengdin, owner ofEdina-based Scoopy Poo DoggyDoo Pick Up and a co-founder ofPetPAC, said as the market con-tinues to expand – Americansspend an estimated $50 billion ayear on products and servicesfor their pets – there are plentyof reasons to play nice.

“When I first started in thebusiness 10 years ago, none ofthe other dog businesses intown were very eager to sharetheir experiences, techniquesor anything,” Tengdin said.“But you grow so much morefrom the experience of others.”

PetPAC has more than 50members ranging from veteri-narians and pet supply stores todog walkers, photographersand animal communicators.

It formed in 2007 whenTengdin and a few peers real-ized they were already meetingeach other separately to talkshop. Co-founders include JayCowan of Fetch Delivers,Lynne Willeke of Bark Busters

Home Dog Training, CathyMenard of The Urban Dogstore and Amy Rosenthal of thesoon-to-open Metro DogsDaycare and Boarding and for-merly the Animal Humane

Society.According to statistics from

the American Pet ProductsAssociation, total U.S. petindustry expenditures wereestimated at $50.8 billion in

2011, up from $48.3 billion in2010 and nearly double $28.5 bil-lion in 2001.

“Ten years ago, people didn’tthink about the food they fedtheir dog. Now, premium isn’t

Purina Dog Chow. Premium is araw diet, or a brand that costs$70 a bag. They’re a member ofthe family now,” said Tengdin,who shares her Minneapolishome with a husband, twoteenage sons, a 100-poundBernese Mountain dog and 76-pound flat-coated retriever.

The former bond trader andstay-at-home mom openedScoopy Poo, 4402 1/2 FranceAve. S., in Edina, in 2002. Thebusiness, which pokes fun atitself with trademarked slo-gans like “We love taking crapfrom you,” has about 275 week-ly yard clean-up stops at a costof $13.25 per week for one dogor $15 for two.

“These are busy families,busy couples who love theirdogs and don’t want to worryabout the poop situation intheir backyard,” she said.“They’re willing to give upthose three cups of CaribouCoffee, because that’s the equiv-alent.”

Most PetPAC members comefrom different backgrounds.Tengdin said she enjoys beingable to share ideas with andlearn from the experiences offormer corporate executives,graphic designers and mar-keters.

The project will includea transit plaza that willprovide an express bus stopfor service intoMinneapolis. MichaelDevelopment received a$352,000 grant from theMetropolitan Council and a$300,000 grant fromHennepin County towardthe plaza, Stark noted.

The project received tax-increment financing fromthe city, as well as cityapproved tax-exempt rev-enue bonds issued by thecity for financing of theproject. “There’s no finan-cial risk to the city,” Starknoted. The city is acting asa pass-through agency forthe project. The project wasto be financed through theU.S. Department ofHousing and UrbanDevelopment, but a backlogof applications andincreased opportunitiesthrough the private lendingmarket resulted in WellsFargo serving as the mort-gage lender, he explained.

member of PetPAC, previously worked inmedical equipment sales. He opened LuckyDog Pet Lodge, 1067 American Blvd. E., inBloomington in August.

“I got tired of the day to day routine,”said the Eden Prairie resident and ownerof 2-year-old Hogan, a yellow lab. “I wantedto do something that I was more passionateabout.”

He spent nearly two years researchingand scouting locations before landing onthe 30,000-square-foot facility, whichincludes and 18,000-square-foot outdoorplay yard. Despite the slow economy, hesaid he was not concerned about openingLucky Dog. It is the first dog daycare andovernight boarding facility inBloomington, and is near the airport andMall of America – and in an industry hecalled “pretty recession proof.”

“People fall in love with their dogs andthey do whatever they can to make themhappy,” Morehouse said.

He said it’s not that people didn’t alwayslove their dogs, but now there are moreoptions to take care of and pamper them.Morehouse heard about PetPAC fromanother member Ali Jarvis, founder ofSidewalkDog.com, an online hub for infor-mation about dog-friendly life in the TwinCities. SidewalkDog.com hosts “Sushiwith Your Poochie” events in the summerand invites other PetPAC members andcompanies to connect with dog owners.

Morehouse was planning his first annu-al Howl-oween Party and Dog AdoptionFair Oct. 30 that would also bring in othervendors.

“The pet business is a huge industry, butit’s a fairly tight knit industry too,” hesaid.

Tengdin said PetPAC, which meets oncea month, aims to become the go-to resourcefor the pet industry in the Twin Cities.This fall, it is hosting two-part seminar“Growing Your Pet Business” for membersand non-members. About 30 attended thefirst session Oct. 17 with presentations onmarketing and promotion from CarolynGreene of Edina-based Marketing PlusInternational and Linda Anderson, co-

founder of Angel Animals Network, aPetPAC member.

The second session Monday evening,Nov. 7, at The Depot Coffeehouse inHopkins, will feature PetPAC memberPatrick Nau of Minneapolis-based PatrickNau Photography on strategic partner-ships. Nau partners with pet supply storechain Chuck & Don’s. Gene Wood, statedirector of Business NetworkingInternational and owner of Life’s PureBalance, which sells cleaning products safefor pets, will also speak.

How does your chimney look? Are the bricks crumbling?Does it have White or Black exterior staining? Are youafraid to use your fireplace because you’re not sure how safeit is? When was the last time you used it?

The professionals at AirBroom Minnesota Fireplaceand Air Duct Cleaning in Excelsior can restore both yourconfidence and your chimney. Did you know that watercauses more damage to masonry chimneys than fire? Yourchimney, unlike other parts of your house, is constantlyexposed to the elements. They are generally constructed ofbrick, mortar, tile, steel, and iron. All of these materials suf-fer deterioration as a result of prolonged contact with water.Freeze and thaw cycles so familiar here in the Twin Citiescause stress on the chimney. Water that has penetratedexpands and contracts. Left unchecked it will cause interi-or and exterior damage to your home and masonry chimney.Some of the damage that can be caused includes: 1) spalledand broken exterior brickwork, 2) deteriorated masonry andmetal firebox assemblies, 3) rusted dampers, 4) decayedmortar, cracked or missing flue liners, and in the worst casescenario damage to adjoining walls, ceilings, and woodwork.

There are three main ways to prevent water damage.

1) Install a chimney cap. This is the most inexpensivemeasure to prevent water penetration to the flue and insidechimney elements. We sell and install locally manufacturedcaps for as little as $99.

2) Repair or replace a damaged chimney crown. The crown sits atop your chimney and covers and seals itfrom the flue liners to the chimney edge. Many chimneysare built with an inadequate crown constructed from com-mon mortar mix. Mortar is not designed for and will notwithstand years of prolonged moisture exposure withoutcracking and chipping which allows water to penetrate thechimney. A proper crown is constructed of a Portland

cement mixture and formed to provide an overhang dripedge. This assures the water will shed helping to preventerosion in the mortar and brick of the chimneys surfaces.Keeping the crown “watertight” and shedding away from thesponge like masonry elements that the chimney is built of isthe most important element to preventing deterioration. AtAirBroom Minnesota we use the industry leading line ofSaver products to build and repair chimneys. Use of theseproducts allows us to pass on manufacturers material war-ranties of up to 15 years to our clients.

3) Waterproof your masonry chimney and crown.Most masonry is porous and will absorb large amounts ofwater. Brick acts like a sponge absorbing water and wickingit to the chimney interior. Products we use are specificallydeveloped for use as waterproofing agents on masonrychimneys. These are vapor permeable – which means theyallow the masonry to breath out but not in. This allowswater that has penetrated the chimney to escape while pre-venting additional water from entering from the outside.Non vapor permeable sealers commonly available shouldnever be used because they trap moisture inside actuallyaccelerating deterioration. We use a special permeable seal-er with a 10 year consumer warranty to protect your chim-ney. Doing this before deterioration occurs can save youhundreds or even thousands of dollars in future repairs.Water damage to chimneys is usually a slow subtle process.The problem is generally not obvious until it has becomequite serious. Although these prevention measures may costyou a few dollars they can save you a lot more by prevent-ing large future masonry repairs.

Huberty said Olson was in 14th placeafter the first mile with a pack of six girls

BY DAVE PEDERSENSUN NEWSPAPERS

The football season endedlast week for Richfield and HolyAngels as both were bumpedout of the section playoffs.

It was an uncommon offen-sive explosion against HolyAngels on Oct. 29 when SouthSt. Paul rolled to a 50-20 victoryin the Class 4A, Section 3 semi-finals. The Stars had allowedmore than seven points in onlythree other games this seasonwhile earning the No. 2 sectionseed.

Holy Angels (8-2) had noanswer for Sam Sura, thePacker runner who rushed 19times for 161 yards and fourtouchdowns.

The Stars got a spark fromAnthony Baysah, who rushedsix times for 84 yards, includinga 78-yard touchdown.

Quarterback Sam Keisscored on a 1-yard run and com-pleted a 26-yard scoring pass toWill Pagel, who caught fivepasses for 84 yards. Pagel alsoran 12 times for 59 yards, whileKeis gained 28 yards on 13 rush-es.

“South St. Paul has a reallygood team,” said Holy Angelscoach Ray Betton. “They arehuge, physical and run the ballwell. We felt like we had to playone of our best games to keepup with them. The fumbles real-ly hurt us.”

Holy Angels bobbled a kick-off in the first quarter, gettingthe ball on its own 1-yard line.SSP eventually scored a safetyto take a 9-7 lead. The Packersreturned the ensuing kickofffor a score to go up 16-7. SouthSt. Paul led 23-14 at halftime.

A series of miscues early inthe second half was the turningpoint, according to Betton. TheStars fumbled on the Packers’43, and South St. Paul scored afew plays later. Holy Angelsthen fumbled the kickoff, lead-

ing to another SSP touchdown.“It was tough running the

football against them, and weare a running team,” saidBetton. “We had some protec-tion issues in the passing game.[Running back/linebacker]Mikias Alipate separated hisshoulder in the second half.”

Betton said his defenseplayed well all year, but ran intoa bigger and stronger SSP frontline.

For the second consecutiveseason, Holy Angels linebackerT.J. Patrias recorded at least 110tackles. Alipate also played wellat linebacker and defensive endBrett Pierce (6-foot-5, 260pounds) has received someDivision 1 scholarship offers.

Holy Angels advanced to thesemifinals against the No. 3seed Packers by defeatingHenry Sibley 27-7 on Oct. 25.The Stars got touchdown runsof 72 yards from Keis and 74yards from Michael Price.Alipate added a 6-yard scoringrun.

Alipate had a big gameagainst Sibley, rushing for 122yards on 14 carries. Keis gained104 yards on seven rushes.Price ran three times for 80yards and Pagel gained 52 yardson six carries.

Come closeRichfield entered the Class

3A, Section 2 football playoffs asthe No. 7 seed and lost to No. 2seed Minneapolis Washburn 21-12 in a first-round game Oct. 25.The Spartans finished 1-8.

Corban Halbur scored on a 1-yard run in the first half thatended tied 7-7. Camren Dearingscored on a 3-yard run in thethird quarter that ended withthe Spartans trailing 14-13.Washburn had the only pointsin the fourth quarter.

“We played a mistake-freegame until the end when wethrew an interception fromtheir 35-yard line on the final

drive,” said coach Todd Olson.“Both defenses kept the otherin check.”

Washburn went on to routBelle Plaine 50-27 in the semifi-nals. Against Richfield,Washburn quarterbackAntonio Ayala passed for 204yards and Jeffrey Jones rushedfor 158.

“Our number of wins can bedisappointing until you under-stand that six of our eight loss-es came against teams that arestill playing in the final field of32,” Olson said. “Our kids haveno reason to hang their heads.”

Olson said leaders onoffense were Robinson andDearing. The top forces ondefense were ends RobertHolloway and ChandlerArrendondo, plus Mick Dheinat linebacker.

“The story of the year waswe would play well in spurtsbut did not maintain our con-sistency,” Olson said. “Whenyou play such tough competi-tion it will force the inconsis-tency.”

VolleyballRichfield opened the Class

2A, Section 4 playoffs with afour-set victory over St. PaulAcademy. The Spartans thenlost in four sets to No. 2 seed St.Croix Lutheran on Oct. 29 toend the season 11-17.

rates frequently in order to remain competitive.We invite comparison shopping and will gladly provide

phone quotes on all items which arebought and sold by weight.

A Tidbit of HistoryIn about 1074 A.D., eight years after defeating Harold IIat the Battle of Hastings, King William I of England(William the Conqueror) issued a silver penny, aboutthe size of a dime, bearing his portrait with a star oneither side. In due time, English pennies became known

as “stoerlings” from which the modern English currencyof Sterling and the tem for fine silver is derived. Some

have suggested that the use of stars on the coinage of thisperiod might have represented celestial activity

such as the appearance of Haley’s Comet inMarch of 1066 A.D., the year of the Conquest.

Funds immediately available for transactions up to $1 Million Dollars.
