“The Nutcracker” ballet isa holiday tradition for oneEdina family. But rather thanwatch the Christmas classic,they perform it.
The three Linder children,Peter, 12, Leo, 11, and Maria, 7,will dance in the Academy ofRussian Ballet’s annual pro-duction of “The Nutcracker”this month.
Students at the EdenPrairie-based school began
rehearsing for the show inOctober, and practice severaltimes a week, includingextended rehearsals overThanksgiving break.
Peter, an eighth-grader atSouth View Middle School, isdancing in a lead role as theNutcracker Prince.
“It’s hard. There are a lot ofdifferent steps I have tolearn,” said Peter. But he saidhe enjoys the challenge. Heand Leo began at the schoolthree years ago, both willingto try something new.
“I thought it’d be fun, a goodphysical activity where I canexercise my whole body doingballet,” said Peter. “It’s art, plusI really like the teacher. Hepushes me to my best effort.”

Q & A with new EdinaCity Manager Scott NealBY KATIE MINTZ • SUN NEWSPAPERS
Less than a month on the job, Edina’snew City Manager Scott Neal has someideas for the city.
The former Eden Prairie city manag-er with 22 years experience in city
administration has been busy get-ting to know Edina since begin-ning Monday, Nov. 8.
He’s been blogging about his expe-rience on the city website, www.city-ofedina.com. And on Monday, Nov. 22,he sat down with the Edina Sun-Current to talk about what he’slearned and where the city is going.
Question: How have yourfirst weeks been in Edina, andwhat have you been up to?
Neal: The first few weeks havebeen very busy. I’ve been using thatprecious early time to meet mycoworkers, tour our facilities hereand really just try to get acquaint-ed and make a good impression onthe people I work with and alsomake a good impression on thepeople I work for.
Q: What have you been mostsurprised to learn?
Neal: I was most surprised to learn
about the history of Centennial Lakesand the Edinborough Park area. I knewa little bit about those facilities but I did-n’t know about their history and howthey came to be and they’re really verysignificant assets for Edina. It was goodfor me to know that.
Q: What are some areas you wantto focus on?
Neal: Internally, I want to focus on
New Edina manager to focus on city procedures, Southdale

our administrative overhead functionsfirst. That’s an area where I think I’vegot some value I can give the city rightoff the bat – figuring out our policies,procedures, how we do our budget, howwe do our facilities, human resources,how we interact with the community,that kind of thing.
Externally, it will be learning aboutSouthdale, and where Southdale hasbeen, and where Southdale is today andwhere we hope Southdale might begoing in the future.
Q: Why is Southdale such animportant area for the city?
Neal: It really is the commercialheart of the city. It’s important for a city,especially a standalone suburban com-munity, to have a strong commercialheart to it that people who live here canbe proud of. That’s right up there on thepriority list for me.
Q: What’s in store for Edina in 2011?Neal: From what I can tell, from at least
the city’s budget anyway, is in terms of cityservices and facilities, what’s in store forEdina residents is a lot of what they saw in2010. You’re not going to see anything bigand new happen. You’re not going to seenew services roll out. Hopefully what yousee is a fine-tuning improvement of what
we do here. Somewhere down the linethat’s going to be beneficial to our residentsand taxpayers.
Q: What do you want Edina resi-dents to know about you?
Neal: This is a great opportunity forme and I think my background has pre-pared me well for Edina, particularly mylast two jobs – working in Northfield, acommunity that has a lot in common withEdina in terms of residents interested incity government, and forming commit-tees and task forces and having a lot ofinteraction with city government, andalso working in Eden Prairie, a city thathas demographically a lot of commonali-ties with Edina but doesn’t have the samekind of citizenry. Those two jobs in thosetwo communities have prepared me well.I think this is going to be a good match forme and a good match for Edina.
‘Hopefully what you see is afine-tuning improvement ofwhat we do here.’

City Council consideringordinance amendmentsto circumvent new banBY KATIE MINTZ • SUN NEWSPAPERS
The city of Edina is taking actionafter a Minnesota Supreme Court deci-sion this summer derailed its ability togrant variances.
On Tuesday, Nov. 16, the Edina CityCouncil considered three code changesthat would eliminate the need for vari-ances on some residential and commer-cial projects that fall outside currentbuilding regulations.
However, at least one couple with aproject on hold said the fixes might notbe flexible enough for them to move for-ward with their plans for a new home.
Edina previously granted varianceswhen it determined a property owner’srequest was reasonable, and that stickingto code would cause an undue hardship.
The opinion issued in Krummenacherv. City of Minnetonka states “a munici-
pality does not have the authority to granta variance unless the applicant can showthat her property cannot be put to a rea-sonable use without the variance.”
“It’s a major change in the way wereview ordinances,” said PlanningDirector Cary Teague.
City officials across the state said inmost cases it means they no longer haveany discretion to grant variances.
The City Council heard the first read-ing of zoning ordinance amendmentsaddressing expansions to non-conform-ing uses and creation of Planned UnitDevelopments. The Council will consid-er the amendments again at its Tuesday,Dec. 21, meeting.
It also gave final approval to anamendment modifying driveway widthrequirements at the meeting.
Non-conforming uses,first-floor elevations
In a review of all variances grantedfor single-family residential properties
over the last three years, the city foundnearly half were for expansions to non-conforming uses or setbacks – often forhomes built before the existing city codewas in place.
One way to address the situation, saidTeague, is allowing expansions of non-conforming uses that maintain the non-conformity without greatly exacerbat-ing it. Recent state statute gave cities theability to do this through an ordinanceprocess rather than through variances.
The proposed ordinance amendmentwould allow building additions intoexisting non-conforming setbacks up toa maximum of 200 square-feet on eachlevel of the home or up to the existingnon-conforming square footage of thehome, whichever is less.
The second part of the amendmentaddresses an issue from the city’s mass-ing ordinance aimed at ensuring new orremodeled homes are constructed in thesame scale as the surrounding neighbor-hood.
Currently, the code limits the newhome’s first floor height to be no morethan one foot taller than in the old home.In the past three years, the city has
granted six variances from this rule dueto groundwater or flood plain concerns.
Under the proposed ordinance, prop-erty owners would be granted a condi-tional use permit to exceed the one-footlimit in three circumstances – to elevatethe first level two feet above the FederalEmergency Management Agency’s floodplain, to protect the home from ground-water protrusion, or to meet state or citycodes or other statutory requirements –as long as the proposal matched theneighborhood character in “mass,height and scale.”
City Council members discussed arequirement in the second circumstancethat a hydrologic engineer determine ifgroundwater issues necessitate a higherfirst-floor elevation.
Connie and Jeff Miller, whose plansto rebuild their home were put on holddue to the Supreme Court decision,asked for that stipulation to be removed.
“We believe it’s not quite flexibleenough and may be a little too restric-tive,” said Connie Miller at the meeting,who added that costly tests may or may

not show a water problem depending onwhen conducted.
She also said the third circumstancewas too restrictive and does not reflectcurrent building practices. Under statebuilding code, the minimum ceilingheight is 7 feet, but few are built that low,especially lower-level walkouts like hersintended for primary living space.
The Millers had planned to seek avariance from the one-foot rule for firstfloor. In their current home, the lower-level walkout has a 7-foot ceiling. Theywould like to bring it up to 8 feet, butneed to use the extra foot instead tobring up the building foundation. Theysaid a backyard pond has flooded thefloor in the past causing mold andmildew problems.
Jeff Miller said there should be flexi-bility in the conditional use permitprocess that encourages dialoguebetween the homeowner and the city.
He said the house they are proposingto build would be less intrusive to theneighborhood than an option that does-n’t require a variance. From the street,their rambler appears to be one story,with the lower level visible from onlythe back. They could keep the 7-foot ceil-ings on the lower level and add two sto-ries above and still be within the overallmaximum height guidelines.
Teague said city staff is working onthe language regarding the groundwaterissue and would likely bring a draft tothe City Council for review Tuesday,Dec. 7. He said the City Council alsorequested a hydrologic engineer attendthe Dec. 21 meeting to answer questionsabout testing methods.
“We’re hopeful and we trust the CityCouncil will fix this in a way that worksfor us and also for others in thesepredicaments,” said Connie Miller. Shesaid she was also hopeful the stateLegislature would fix the statute on vari-ances to address the Supreme Courtdecision.
Planned Unit DevelopmentThe City Council also granted first
reading to an amendment that wouldcreate a new zoning designation – aPlanned Unit Development for commer-cial uses.
“The primary benefit of a PUD rezon-ing is it allows the city more control overproposed development,” said Teague.
The Edina Planning Commissionbegan working on the language for theamendment more than a year ago inorder to give the city more control andflexibility. It will also address the city’sinability to grant variances. The codewould essentially create a unique zoningdistrict with specific regulations foreach project, eliminating the need forvariances from other zoning require-ments.
Teague said it will be up to the citywhen to allow a Planned UnitDevelopment rezoning. The amendmentincludes language that encouragesdevelopers to hold neighborhood meet-ings and submit informal sketch plansto the city prior to filing applications, hesaid.
Minimum driveway width The City Council also unanimously
approved an ordinance amendmentremoving the minimum driveway widthin residential districts.
“Currently we have a minimumdriveway width of 12 feet for residentialproperties,” said Teague.
He said that’s been problematic inolder areas like the Country ClubDistrict where lots are often only 50 feetwide and cannot accommodate largedriveways. The amendment gets rid ofany minimum width, removing the needfor a variance.
“We’re also suggesting some changesthat would allow pervious pavers as adriveway material,” he said.
Driveways can now be built of anyall-weather, durable and dust-free mate-rial, according to the amendment.

Reading to kids atearly age helpsthem succeed laterBY KATHERINE DEBERTIN AND JACKIECAVERLY • GUEST COLUMNISTS
Do you have a very youngchild in your life? It’s not toosoon to think about what youcan do to help prepare him orher for school. Research showsthat children who have devel-oped six basic pre-readingskills begin school more readyto learn.
Children need to know thealphabet and the sounds eachletter makes, be able to rhymeand hear smaller parts ofwords, know how to handle abook, know what words meanand know how to use words todescribe or tell a story. Theseskills are needed before chil-dren can learn to read.
Does it sound like a lot? In away, children do have a lot ofwork to do, but it most oftenlooks like playing. There aremany ways for parents to helpchildren grow into readers, butreading together every day is ajoyful, necessary and easy wayto help children develop theseskills. The early literacy yearsaren’t about drills and flash-cards – they’re about exposingchildren to language and allow-ing them the space and time toget comfortable, develop theirown expertise, and most of all,have fun.
As parents and caregivers,you are your child’s first teacher.Reading together, singing andchanting nursery rhymes allcontribute to literacy skills.Start doing these together fromthe moment your child is born.
Your physical presence dur-ing these activities actuallyhelps them learn. Sorry, the tel-evision and recorded voices do
not develop language, only yourvoice and words will, accordingto research. Establishing a loveof reading in your child willhelp them succeed in everyschool subject later on.
The librarians at your locallibrary are there to help. Theycan guide you to books andresources.
Plan on attending free storytimes. Story times at HennepinCounty libraries are groundedin the most current researchand are presented with anunderstanding of how the sixbasic pre-reading skills devel-op. Librarians will highlightthe skills and give you greatideas for fun and easy activitiesto do at home. You are probablydoing most of them already.

Student unhappywith trail processTo the editor:
As a college student study-ing public discourse, I amalarmed as I watch the overallprocess of how the proposedNine Mile Creek Regional Trailthrough Edina is beingaddressed. I understand want-ing a trail, but to put it in thisarea of intact environment isjust a disappointment.
Public meetings are held inwhich the public cannot speakbut can only listen to presenta-tions made by the ThreeRivers Park District. No publicinput is allowed at forumsother than submitting ques-tions on a note card, whichmay or may not be answeredby the Park District panel ofexperts.
Information provided toEdina City Council members isprovided only by the ParkDistrict – the very group thatstands to gain the most fromrunning an invasive trail alongone of the most beautiful placesin Edina. Not enough informa-tion is being provided to Edinacitizens, and the informationthat is being provided onlycomes from one viewpoint andsource.
Most citizens of Edina donot understand the size of thistrail, the immense cost and thelong-term effects. Bike trailsare great to have, but we havemany other alternatives,including solar-lit in-roadlighting, painted trail lanesand a combination of on- andoff-road routes. I may be a stu-dent, but I’d prefer to be a stu-dent that fights for a solutionthat doesn’t involve so manydisadvantages.

Three Rivers Park District, which willconstruct and maintain the trail, has pre-sented the city with three options for itsroute – a creek-based route, a street-basedroute or a no build alternative.
The creek option generally followsthe path of Nine Mile Creek on city-owned parkland and requires no takingof private land. The street option wouldbe constructed on public right-of-wayadjacent to the road. If built, the 7- to 8-mile-long Edina segment would connectwith segments in Richfield and Hopkins.
The estimated cost to construct theEdina segment is $17 million to $20 mil-lion. Three Rivers Park District willseek grants to help pay for construction.
The Edina Park Board recommendeda creek-based route to the City Councilin October. If the City Council selects aroute following its Dec. 7 meeting, theNine Mile Creek Watershed District andEdina School District will be asked toweigh in before final approval by theThree Rivers Park District Board ofCommissioners.

Kathy Anderson, project architectwith Architectural Consortium, saidWhole Foods would extend about 40 feetinto the shopping center parking lotbeyond the current Storables building.A loading dock and additional parking
would cover most of the ThomasvilleFurniture footprint. She said the build-ing façade incorporates brick and lime-stone elements featured in other Edinabuildings. The design includes a patioseating area by France Avenue.
Residents at the nearby CentennialLakes Village Homes who attended theopen house said they were excited aboutthe proposal. Ann Lindsay and CarlaNelson said they now carpool to the WholeFoods near Lake Calhoun in Minneapolis.
“To be able to walk is just amazing,”said Lindsay. “I think it will benefit thewhole shopping area.”
Whole Foods is the nation’s leadingseller of organic produce, said DanielBlackburn, store team leader at theMinneapolis location. The Austin, Tex.-based company also has a store in St.Paul and recently announced plans for aMinnetonka location. Worldwide, thereare nearly 300 stores with another 40-some stores in development.

BY JENNIE OLSON • SUN NEWSPAPERS
How do you creatively tell a storythat’s been repeated for more than 2,000years?
For Ken Parker, executive director ofChristian Arts Ministries inBloomington, it’s all about perspective.Berean Baptist Church in Burnsvilleand his group are combining talents toperform “Heaven Rejoices,” an originalChristmas musical written by Parkerand hosted at Berean Baptist.
“Churches year after year are lookingfor a way to retell the story of the nativ-ity and incarnation,” Parker said. “Thismusical is very unique in the fact thatit’s all done from the angels’ points ofview.”
The musical begins before the worldwas created with the angels overhearingGod the Father discussing how he’sgoing to create a universe. They areastounded about his plans and the reve-lation that there will be other createdbeings. The story journeys from beforethe world was created until the nativity.
“We have about 90 voices in the choirand wonderful, skilled actors, actressesand dancers. It’s a remarkable assem-blage of people,” Parker said.
Choir members and dancers fromBerean and Parker’s ministry will bedressed as the angels and will be accom-panied by a professional orchestra. Themusic is an array of many musical gen-res, including contemporary, jazz,Broadway, gospel, ballads, Spanish,calypso and classic.
“When I say classic, I don’t mean clas-sical,” Parker added. “I mean that it’sthe wonderful, rich, lush sounds of big
orchestras and tight choral singing. It’sthat classic American sound that hasbeen with us since the 1920s.”
Parker wrote “Heaven Rejoices” in1981, and Bob Krogstad, Dove Award-winning arranger for artists SandiPatty, Mel Tormé, Michael Crawford andNatalie Cole, wrote the orchestration.
“He’s one of the great orchestratorsin America and has done some phenom-enal stuff. It’s all beautiful writing inthis musical,” Parker said.
Parker has been involved in localchurch ministry for more than 45 yearsas a pastor, worship leader and drama-tist. He founded Christian ArtsMinistries after leaving a post at GraceChurch in Eden Prairie to create origi-nal productions that allow Christians touse their talents to communicate thegospel.
He joined the Berean Baptist staff inMarch after the former minister ofmusic was diagnosed with cancer andwas no longer able to continue his dutiesas director. Originally, Parker wasintending to stay for a month, but thechurch asked if he would be able to stayfor an additional year, which he accept-ed. Parker asked Berean if the churchwould consider doing a combinedChristmas production with his ministryrather than having two separate produc-tions.
“I love the people,” Parker said ofBerean Baptist. “They’re just delightful,and I’m having a good time.”
The performances will take placeDec. 10-12 at Berean Baptist Church,located at 309 East County Road 42. Formore information or for tickets, call 952-223-1870 or visit heavenrejoices.com.

Hopkins Public Schools’ enrollmentonce again dropped this school year. Thegood news for the district is that it came inhigher than the projected totals and that theannual rate of the decline is decreasing.
The district’s total enrollment in 2010-11 is 7,208 students, according to a reportpresented to the School Board at its Nov.18 meeting. Though this is smaller thanlast year’s enrollment of 7,269, it is high-er than the projected 2010-11 total of7,132 by 76 students.
Each year, district administrationdevelops enrollment projections. Theprojections inform the budgeting processby generating the estimated amount ofpupils. This amount is used in calculat-ing estimated revenue projections.
The 1.17 percent decrease in totalenrollment for 2010-11 also represents asmaller figure than previous years.Hopkins’ enrollment declined 3.05 per-cent in 2009-10 and 4.38 percent in 2008-09.
“This allows us to work with a more sta-bilized revenue picture,” assistant superin-tendent Nik Lightfoot said of the lower rateof change. “It is however, still a decline as
we have the change occurring from ouroutgoing 12th grade numbers and ourincoming kindergarten numbers.”
The district report stated the some ofthe slowing decline could be attributedto an increase in net open enrollmentcoupled with a decrease in studentmigration.
The trend in Hopkins’ open enrollmentfor several years is both an increase instudents coming in and going out.
Though Hopkins’ net open enroll-ment increased by 5.54 percent from lastschool year, the total ratio between “in”and “out” students was 1.48, comparedto 1.5 last year and 2.05 in 2005-06.
“We continue to analyze our openenrollment trends,” Lightfoot said. “Ourwork would be to maximize the numberof open enrollment spaces available tofamilies and to encourage district fami-lies to choose Hopkins. We continue tosee good results coming from our workwith enhancing and redesigning pro-gram opportunities in a time when oth-ers are reducing.”
Another factor the district analyzeswhen looking at enrollment figures isHennepin County births – it uses thesecorresponding figures to project kinder-garten totals.
For instance, Hopkins’ kinder-garten enrollment of 507 this schoolyear is 2.5-percent smaller than lastyear, but county births were down by2.21 percent in 2005 – the correspon-ding year for this 2010-11 kindergartenstudents.
Though this year’s enrollment fig-ures were a mix of good and bad signs,Hopkins administration is still project-ing declines for total enrollment infuture years. It is projecting enrollmentto decline by 72 students next year, 84 in2012-13 and 96 in 2013-14.
The table represents Hopkins Public Schools’ current and projected K-12 enrollment for the next five years.

“There is a story behind every songthat I write and usually behind everysong that I arrange that is very intimate-ly significant to me,” said Mary BethCarlson. “This whole journey reallyframed us and a purpose for me in writ-ing songs.”
Carlson’s inspirationfor her latest compactdisc, “Smile with a Songin Your Heart,” is herdaughter’s battle withcerebral palsy andautism. Recently, grow-ing side effects have pro-foundly challengedCarlson and her family.
“I started writingsongs that had themesof peace and the need for restorationfor the calm in our home that hadalways been there” said Carlson, whowill perform Friday, Dec. 10 inBloomington.
As the severity of her daughter’s ill-ness appeared to stabilize, Carlson says
her writing progressed into songs abouthope.
“The doctors, with a diagnosis of psy-chosis and schizophrenia told us therewas no cure, and therefore no hope. Doesa parent just accept that? Absolutelynot. So we continue to hang on to the joy.
It’s our reality. That’s where the CDcame from,” she said.
The Minnesota pianist, composer andarranger has released 19 CD’s of spiritu-ally piano-based music over the years.
“More than the objective of writingand performing music to help myself, Ido truly play music for the healingprocess in other people,” Carlson said.“Sometimes music is the language thatcan really speak to the heart and putsthat peace that give’s people what theyneed at a certain point in time.”
Fellow musician and long-time col-laborator Diane Tremaine says Carlson“is a delight to work with. I have thegreatest respect for her.”
The cellist has played with artistsranging from Prince to Elton John andThe Minnesota Orchestra. She will per-form with Carlson in Bloomington.
“Mary Beth is the same, on-stage, offor wherever. I’m never wondering any-thing with her. In this business that isvery refreshing. She is the real deal,”said Tremaine.
World-class guitar player BillyMcLaughlin was a guest artist on
Carlson’s latest CD. The two solo per-formers met years ago at a benefit andfinally had a chance to work together.
“She believes in the magic of music.It’s funny she told me just to come in [tothe studio] and the magic would happen,and she was right. She was happy withwhat I played,” McLaughlin said.
“Supportive listeners” is the termCarlson uses for her fans, the word “fan”itself is a bit of a turn-off.
“Everybody understands what thatword is. To me it doesn’t feel as friendly.‘Supportive listener’ feels like the kindof listeners who respond to me withemails, phone calls and their letters. Itsays what I mean, a reflection of how Ifeel about the people appreciating themusic we’ve shared for years and years,”said Carlson.
The driving force behind Carlson isher faith.
“It’s very specific. Quite simply, Ibegin with prayer, reading God’s word.The theme is interwoven throughout allthe words. Then the words give themusic heart. Knowing that everything isbased in faith. That forms the passion.”
Carlson still pouring heart and soul into her musicIf you go
Mary Beth Carlson’s Annual ChristmasConcert will be held 7:30 p.m., Friday, Dec.10, at St. Michaels Lutheran Church, 9201Normandale Blvd. in Bloomington. Also per-forming will be Diane Tremaine, cellist; ElisaHorning, violinist; Mark Henderson, wood-wind artist; Jeannie Sollie and The TronesFamily, both vocalists along with TheCassidy Brothers, a male quartet.

Reusable bottle program successful in Three Rivers Park DistrictThis spring, the Three Rivers
Parks Board approved a pilot pro-gram to phase out the sales of bever-ages in disposable plastic containersat Park District facilities by summer2010.
Three Rivers developed a staff-training program, purchasedreusable bottles and created publiceducation materials in time to launchthe pilot program on Memorial Dayweekend.
Implementation of the pilot pro-gram required support from through-out the organization. A key compo-nent of the program was educationfor park staff and the public.Collectively, the parks sold 10,374reusable bottles from Memorial Dayweekend through Labor Day.
Baker National Golf Course andHyland Visitor Center sold the mostreusable bottles at 3,257 and 2,352,respectively.
The reusable bottle option was suc-cessful in reducing the number ofdisposable plastic bottles sold,according to the Three Rivers ParkDistrict, thus eliminating a portion
of the Park District’s waste stream,which was the objective of the pilotprogram.
A comparison of sales data forwater in disposable plastic bottlesindicates a 48 percent reduction in2010 from the previous summer sea-son (Memorial Day through LaborDay).
Overall, the pilot program was“well-received” by park guests, ThreeRivers Park District stated. A surveyconducted by Park District researchstaff indicated that 83 percent ofrespondents agreed with the state-ment “Three Rivers should encour-age the use of reusable water bot-tles.” Maintenance staff has con-firmed that the reusable bottles werenot being tossed in park waste recep-tacles.
Supervisors and managers in thepark system attributed much of thesuccess of the program to the season-al staff for promoting and explainingthe reusable bottle option.
With Board support, staff proposes tocontinue the reusable bottle program in2011.

Cancer Research Fund, which fundsCare Partners, in recognition of hercommitment to Care Partners’ familyvolunteer program.
Families come from across the coun-try for treatment at the University, and ifthey choose, they can be matched with avolunteer like Alexander. Volunteers areassigned one family at a time and arewith each family a minimum of 120 daysduring treatment and recovery.Oftentimes, they are with families forseveral months.
Alexander has spent up to 130 hourswith each family doing things likebringing meals to the hospital, pickingup friends and family at the airport,being with parents during procedures,babysitting, running errands and oftenjust listening.
“She understands the importance ofconnecting immediately with the family,getting to know them right away andfinding out what their needs are,” saidAlex Thwaites, Care Partners programcoordinator. “She’s very caring and it’svery obvious she’s doing this becauseshe truly wants to do something tohelp.”
A former owner of MaternalInstincts maternity store and buyer forTarget and Dayton’s, Alexander first gotinvolved with Children’s CancerResearch Fund raising money. Shesolicited ads from her friends in thefashion industry for the organization’sprogram at its annual benefit FashBash, now called Glamorama.
In the 90s, she chaired the event.While planning, she visited the hospitaland was exposed to Care Partners’ work.When she retired from business in thelate 90s, she decided to get moreinvolved.
“I always did a lot of volunteer workbut I decided I wanted to do hands-onthings,” said Alexander, who is also onthe advisory board for Stages Theatre inHopkins, and was previously on theMinnesota Organization on AdolescentPregnancy, Prevention and ParentingBoard and president of the Edina GirlsAthletic Association.
She started in the Care Partners fam-ily volunteer program in 2003 and hassince worked with 10 different childrenand their families.
“I’m always working on some projectfor someone, but this is what feels thebest,” she said.
As a mother, Alexander said she’sbeen fortunate to have healthy childrenand wants to do what she can to help oth-ers in the trying situation. She and long-time partner Stan Eisenberg share fivekids, all of whom graduated Edina HighSchool between 1999 and 2007.
“There is nothing worse for a momthan having a sick child,” saidAlexander. “I’ve met some really incred-ible families. They have an amazingstrength about them. They just do.”
Alexander said each is different.Those with friends or family in the areamight need less help while others haveno support network.
She connects with families at leastonce a week while they’re in the TwinCities – many rent apartments or stay at

the Ronald McDonald House – to see ifthere’s anything she can do to maketheir stay easier. Often, she said, theyare so busy focusing on treatment thatthey will not ask for help.
But there’s a lot she can do. She hasgiven parents much-needed nights offbabysitting the patient or siblings. She’sacted as a tour guide, taking familiessightseeing around Minneapolis or tothe Mall of America. She’ll help runerrands, clean or even pack at the end oftheir stay. She will also bring pick-me-ups like coffee, baked goods, magazinesand toys to the hospital, sometimes justleaving them at the front desk to bedelivered.
“I love doing that,” she said. “Thesmallest of things they appreciate.”
Alexander said a volunteer’s simplepresence is also important. Sometimeshaving a diversion helps relieve the stressand fears that accompany treatment. Theholidays are an especially hard time forfamilies to be at the hospital, she said.She’s taken Thanksgiving dinner andChristmas presents to family on occasions.
“One year my daughter and I went toByerly’s and we brought a completeturkey feast,” said Alexander. “That
night their son was really sick, and Idon’t know when they ate dinner, but Iknow they really appreciated it.”
Of the 10 children she’s worked with,one has since passed away. Alexandersaid her friends ask how she doesn’t crywhen visiting the seriously ill children.She said she finds an inner strengthwhen she walks into their hospitalrooms.
“It’s all about what they need,” saidAlexander. “I put away whatever isgoing on in my life and totally focus ontheir needs.”
There are also good times to balanceharder times.
“The best thing for me is when I getthe call they’re going to go home,” saidAlexander. “A lot times they let me takethem to the airport and I get to hug themgoodbye. I see these kids taking off andstarting a new life.”
She’s stayed in touch with many ofthe families. Some still call her whenthey come back to the University forannual check-ups. They will meet fordinner or coffee.
“It’s just amazing seeing these kidscome back vibrant and full of life,” saidAlexander.
She said she would begin workingwith another family this winter.

A&J Painting is a family owned and operated
business that was started 15 years ago with my
sons Andrew, Jeremiah, and David. In today’s
economic climate we have maintained a healthy
business due to our professional approach and
work ethic that carries the highest standards of
quality for every job. We have thrived over the
years because of the volume of callbacks and
customer referrals from previously contracted
jobs. No contract is too big or too small for our
company.
A&J Painting operates as a licensed and
insured painting company that offers trained
and skilled (journeyman) employee’s to paint
and remodel your home or business. All of our
employee’s have been with the company for
several years and each has been trained to the
highest standards. We take pride in the honesty,
integrity, and character of the young men we
have employed.
My son Andrew is a highly skilled and trained
carpenter. He also does taping, knock down
ceilings, tiling, installs plumbing, lighting fix-
tures, countertops and offers many types of cus-
tom carpentry. Andrew operates a professional
spray booth off site for finishes on cabinetry
and furniture. His current focus is on remodel-
ing, updating, and modernizing homes and
businesses. Andrew’s perfectionist approach to
every job and the extent of his skill set have
made him one of the best craftsman in the Twin
Cities.
My other two sons run the painting end of the
business and are also professionally trained
Artists. Jeremiah attended the Minneapolis
College of Art and Design and later studied
under the mentorship of the nationally
renowned portrait and fresco painter Mark
Balma. David similarly was accepted into a
full time master apprenticeship program at the
young age of 16 at the highly respected Atelier
Lack Studio. They followed in the family tra-
dition of mastering a professional craft and skill
which they have brought to our company.
Between the two they offer 25 years of experi-
ence painting interior and exterior homes in the
metro area with our family business.
A&J Painting takes great pride in our ability
to make a true and lasting impression on you. I
can’t tell you how many letters and calls I have
received over the years from customers who
just wanted to share with me what a great job
we did. We hope to have the opportunity to do
so with you as well. We are only a call or e-
mail away to offer you a free estimate of our
professional services.

Academy owners Kirill Bak and wifeSvetlana Gavrilova trained at TheVaganova Ballet Academy in St.Petersburg, Russia, and performedaround the world with the MussorgskyState Opera and Ballet and the BorisAifman Ballet before coming to theUnited States 10 years ago to open theschool in Eden Prairie. They teach stu-dents the Vaganova syllabus, whichcombines the strongest parts of differ-ent ballet techniques from around theworld.
Bak said the Linder brothers haveimproved a lot since starting at theAcademy.
The version of the “The Nutcracker”performed by the school is a close adap-tation of the original Russian version,which was choreographed by MariusPetipa and based on the story “TheNutcracker and the Mouse King” by E.T. A. Hoffmann. Many of the steps fromthe original ballet, which premieredmore than a century ago in St.Petersburg, Russia, are replicated in thelocal performances.
Leo, a seventh-grader at South View,is dancing in several roles including asoldier and Russian. He’s looking for-ward to the performances Friday, Dec.17, through Sunday, Dec. 18, at the EdenPrairie High School Performing ArtsCenter.
“It’s quite exciting to be on stage,” hesaid.
Maria, a second-grader atNormandale Elementary School, saidshe enjoys dancing ballet with her
brothers, “especially when my brotheris the Nutcracker.”
She’ll appear in “The Nutcracker” asa mouse, clown, puppet and more.
“It’s fun when my whole family is inthe show,” said Maria.
Parents Irina and Bruce Linder willhelp out backstage, along with otherparents of dancers ages 3-18. Students atthe school come from around the TwinCities metro. “The Nutcracker” includesfour other Edina youth ages 4-7.
Irina Linder said the show is not onlya Linder family tradition, but a holidaystaple for all.
“It really puts you in the Christmasmood,” she said. “With the kids dancing,it’s quite touching.”

Edina’s Sami Reber saysit’s the right place for her BY JOHN SHERMAN • SUN NEWSPAPERS
Many major-college hockey programsthroughout the country were interestedin signing Edina High senior SamiReber to a National Letter of Intent, butnow the decision is final.
“At the start of the recruiting processI wanted to keep my options open,” saidReber.
Early this fall, two Ivy League schoolswere left on her short list, and she choseHarvard over Dartmouth.
“I visited Harvard at the very begin-ning of September,” Reber said lastweek. “I fell in love with the school andknew it was the right place for me.”
The educational benefits of attendingHarvard were a primary factor inReber’s decision, but there was more toit than that.
“The girls on the hockey team areamazing and so are the coaches,” shesaid. “It is a good program. Harvard isusually within the top three teams in theIvy League.”
Before she goes off to Cambridge,Mass., Reber has some business to takecare of in Minnesota. Last winter theHornets made it to the state Class AAtitle game before losing to Roseville 3-0.
After coming so close last season,Reber and her teammates are deter-mined to win the championship thiswinter.
“The most exciting games we play[before the playoffs] are against theother teams in the Lake Conference,”Reber noted. “As far as the playoffs areconcerned, we’ll take it one step at atime.”
Reber’s role on the team is to generateoffense. She had 25 goals last season andhas seven goals and seven assiststhrough six games this season. TheHornets have a 5-1-0 record.
Edina suffered its first loss of the sea-son, 4-3 to Blake School, in the semifi-nals of the Cake-Eater Classic Nov. 26 atBraemar Arena. The Hornets reboundedthe next night to defeat Breck School 3-1
in the third-place game.There was an interesting footnote to
the Edina-Blake game as Reber andanother Harvard recruit, Hillary Crowe,went head to head.
“The Blake game threw us for a loop,”said Reber. “We weren’t expecting themto be as strong as they are. It was a fast-paced, competitive game, and I enjoyedit even though we lost.
“Our mindset against Breck onSaturday was that we had to come outand play our game the entire game. Weplayed very well defensively and limitedtheir scoring chances.”
Edina head coach Laura Slominskisaid it is a privilege to coach a playerlike Reber.
“Sami is making better decisions inattacking the net this year, and she hasbeen rewarded with some nice goals,”said Slominski. “She’s a great playerand a great person.”
Reber’s interest in hockey started atan early age. She got her first pair ofskates when she was 3, and by the timeshe was 6 she was playing Mite hockeywith the boys.
“I played with the boys through thefirst year of Squirts,” she said. Some ofher teammates were current boys varsi-

Edina falls inTurkey Trottourney finalsWayzata knocks off EHS BY JOHN SHERMAN • SUN NEWSPAPERS
Lake Conference boys hockey fans gota good look at two of the best teams inthe state Nov. 26-27 in the Turkey Trot atPlymouth Ice Center.
Wayzata, the state’s second-rankedClass AA team, knocked off top-rankedEdina 3-2 in the final Nov. 27.
After taking a 3-0 lead, the Trojansheld off a furious Edina rally in the finalmoments. Edina finally broke throughwith goals from Steven Fogarty andLouie Nanne in the last four minutes.Michael Sit assisted on both goals.Fogarty and Nanne each had an assist.
Tanner Jensen and Marc Richardshad first-period goals for the Trojans,and Mario Lucia scored what proved tobe the winning goal on a power play at11:07 of the third period.
Both goalies played well. Returningstarter Connor Girard of Edina stopped28 of 31 shots. Wayzata’s AndrewMcIntyre stopped 22 of 24 shots.
It was a hard-hitting game with Edinataking seven penalties and Wayzata six.
“Wayzata has real good top-end talent,”said Edina head coach Curt Giles. “Andthey also have solid second and third lines,a good defense and good goaltending.”
Giles said Edina’s performanceimproved as the game went on.
“We finally got some time in theoffensive zone the second part of thegame,” he said.
Did Giles like playing a team likeWayzata early in the season?
“Coming out of the chute, I think itdoes help to play a team like Wayzata,”he said. “It is hard to tell where youstand until you get out there in a gamewith a quality opponent, real goals andreal penalties.”
Semifinal gamesEdina won easily in its semifinal
Friday night, beating Buffalo 6-1.Nick Leer and Ben Walker scored two
goals each while Nanne and Fogartyalso had goals. Alex Nelson was the win-ner in goal with 11 saves.
Wayzata edged Maple Grove 3-2 withgoals by Bryan Tabery, D.J. Jones andTyler Klein.
Twenty-three saves gave McIntyre thevictory in goal.
LAKE NOTES
32 Edina Sun-Current – Thursday, Dec. 2, 2010 – www.minnlocal.com In the Community, With the Community, For the Community
Even though I’m the No. 1 LakeConference loyalist in the entire metroarea, I couldn’t have forecast the successthat the conference has seen this fall.
Here’s a quick rundown for those whomight not have paidattention.
Girls soccer: Lakerivals Eden Prairie andWayzata met in the stateClass AA finals withEden Prairie’s TaylorUhl scoring a hat trick ina 3-0 victory.
Boys soccer: Apple Valley won. OK,we’ll give credit to that other organiza-tion down south.
Girls cross country: It was EdenPrairie in a walk, or should I say a trot?Megan Platner of EP is one of the state’selite.
Boys cross country: Wayzata’s win-ning margin at state was off the chartsas coach Bill Miles claimed the ninthstate title of his long career. Josh
Thorson of the Trojans was second over-all and EP’s Aaron Bartnik was third.Aldis Inde of Edina was seventh. Get thepicture?
Girls tennis: Are you kidding? TheEdina Hornets are stateClass AA champs for the14th consecutive year.Hornet captains MollieMeldahl and KatieMedlar tacked on a statedoubles title.
Football: Wayzataand Eden Prairie batted the No. 1 stateranking in Class 5A back and forth dur-ing the regular season. Wayzata won thehead-to-head meeting 28-27 in overtimeand went on the win the state title withan 11-0 record.
Girls swimming: Edina was the win-ner with Nikki Larson and MadeleineEden leading the way. Wayzata put up agood fight with standouts such asHeather Arseth, Sarah Deis and EmmaPaulson.
Girls volleyball: Hands down, thetwo best teams in the state wereLakeville North and Wayzata. North wasthe champion, Wayzata was second.Julia Doyle of Wayzata is as good a play-er as you’ll see in this part of the coun-try.
So there you have it. In the eight fallsports, Lake teams won six state titlesand South Suburban Conference teamswon two.
Potential membersAs much as I love the Lake
Conference, it’s obvious that a five-teamleague won’t play long-term.
The Lake Conference needs at leastone member, but who could it be?
Looking two to three years ahead,there’s no one on the horizon. Chaskacould have been a candidate, but thenChaska split and Chanhassen HighSchool opened.
Blaine is a school capable of compet-ing with the Lake teams in most sports,but it’s located on the other end of town.
Armstrong? We’ve already tried that.Cooper? Too small and not competi-
tive in some of the major sports likehockey.
Osseo and Maple Grove? They wantno part of this.
Cretin-Derham Hall? Big enough,good enough, but located on the wrongside of town.
St. Thomas Academy? Now there’s anidea, but the Cadets don’t have girlssports.
Stillwater? Too close to Wisconsin,too far from here.
Benilde-St. Margaret’s? Only if itadds another wing.
Holy Angels? Same thing.
Hot on the trailEdina High will have a shot at more
state championships this winter.I like the Hornets’ chances in girls
hockey even though they lost leadingscorer Corinne Buie to ProvidenceCollege.
The Hornet boys swimming and div-ing team has 55 years of coaching expe-rience with Art Downey at the helm.Can you remember the last time Edinadidn’t contend for the state title? MaxCartwright and Mike Gratz are potentialstate champs.
Alpine skiing is another traditionallystrong sport for the Hornets, so wemight find some hardware at the bottomof the hill.
Boys hockey is coming off a statechampionship season, the first of coachCurt Giles’ 11-year Edina career. There isso much parity in boys hockey that almostnothing is predictable. But one thing I doknow is that Edina will play toughdefense. Ben Walker, Michael Sit andSteven Fogarty are prime-time players.
