The calendar is an instrument com-monly used to measure the success,failure, changes and benchmarks of theworld around us.

It’s an imperfect tool. A new munici-pal center has arisen next to RichfieldCity Hall, but much of the planning,

deliberating and compromising camelong before 2010. And even though thenew facility has taken shape alongPortland Avenue South, there’s stillwork to be done before the process ofmoving city offices – as well as the fireand public safety departments – intothe new building begins.

Looking back at the people, events

and decisions of 2010 is a lot like look-ing at vacation photos. The photos cap-ture many memories from a week spentat the cabin, but they don’t tell thewhole story. Highlights of 2010 can pro-vide snapshots of a larger story, butthey rarely tell the whole story.

Here are several snapshots from 2010:

Crosstown completeThe Crosstown Commons project

began in 2007. Four years, three sum-mers and $288 million later, two laneshave been added in each direction of I-35W north of Highway 62, and two morewere added both East and West on 62itself.

Twenty-six bridges, including six seg-mental flyover bridges, were installed,and more than 1 million square feet ofnoisewall materials were built – whichincludes paraglass panels overMinnehaha Creek, a first onMinnesota’s trunk highway system.

Dispatch staysThe debate and lobbying didn’t mean

much in the end when it came time todetermine if Richfield would retain itspublic safety dispatch service when thenew municipal center opens in 2011.

The Richfield City Council, with noclear alternative, voted unanimously toretain the department.

The council’s examination of thecity’s dispatch service was prompted bythe unexpected cost of relocating its dis-patch center from the current multi-pur-pose building at 6700 Portland Ave. S. tothe new building under construction.The estimated cost was $240,000, but it’s

going to cost the city at least $450,000.That extra one-time expense, for a serv-ice that costs taxpayers about $720,000per year, sent the council in search ofalternatives to maintaining its dispatchcenter.

But options were hard to come by.Several cities within Hennepin Countyuse the county’s dispatch service forpolice and fire service calls. Richfield’sdiscussion about turning over its dis-patch service to the county didn’t getvery far, however, as Hennepin Countyofficials had not determined if addition-al cities would be allowed to join thecounty’s dispatch service, or under whatterms.

FieldTurf approvedThe days of watering the grass of

Richfield High School’s SpartanStadium field will soon be over.

The Richfield Board of Educationvoted 5-1 in favor of replacing the grassfield with synthetic turf, ending a two-year debate about a project that carries aprice tag of about $1 million.

“I think it’s going to be worth it,” saidBoard Chairman Tom Flood, a longtimechampion of the conversion.

The synthetic surface, commonlyknown by the brand name FieldTurf,has become a popular playing surface onfields across the United States, includ-ing at several Twin Cities high schools.

Proponents of FieldTurf count itsdurability among arguments in favor ofthe synthetic alternative to grass.Boardmember David Lamberger trum-

peted the increased use FieldTurfallows for Spartan Stadium in his sup-port of the plan.

In addition to its increased use forsporting events and practices, FieldTurfwould also provide a surface for highschool physical education classes, aplace for the marching band to practiceand a facility the district could lease torecoup maintenance and replacementcosts.

Fourth of July financesThe old adage that freedom isn’t free

can also be applied to Richfield’s Fourthof July celebration.

Most years the costs associated with

the events are covered by fees, sponsor-ships, donations and revenue generatedbefore, during and after the celebration.

But not in 2010.“We brought in less money this year

than we have in previous years,” accord-ing to Lin Shurtleff, the treasurer of theRichfield Fourth of July Committee.

It was estimated that the deficit wasmore than $10,000.

Typically the celebration covers itscosts, and even generates a little extrarevenue the nonprofit organization setsaside in its rainy day fund.

“The effect of the economy was defi-

nitely felt this year,” Shurtleff added.“Income was down in most areas, with afew exceptions.”

One of the significant moneymakersfor the committee is its annual streetdance, and revenue during the July 3dance was down approximately 40 per-cent this year.

If the committee can’t find ways togenerate additional revenue during the2011 celebration, its other option is tocut down on events that are offered,Shurtleff said.

Plaza redevelopmentThe Richfield City Council is willing

to grant tax-increment financing to ahousing project that will replaceWoodlake Plaza.

The retail center at the intersection ofLyndale Avenue South and 64th Streethas several empty storefronts, and own-ers who want to redevelop the propertywith high-end apartments, a market theownership contends is underserved inRichfield.

Council members had concerns aboutthe proposal, which could net the devel-oper up to $822,000 through TIF, whichcompensates the development for quali-fying project expenses on a pay-as-you-go basis. Like a rebate program, thedeveloper pays the property tax to thecity, then is refunded qualifying por-tions of the payment each year.

Councilmember Fred Wroge was sup-portive of the project, but critical of theprocess, particularly the city’s willing-ness to grant TIF. He expressed concernthat developers are eligible to benefitfrom TIF for 26 years and questioned theneed for TIF to redevelop property in thecity. He questioned if the city shouldgrant TIF for terms less than maximumlength allowed and rejected the idea thatTIF is necessary for redevelopment. “I’mnot buying into that,” he said.

Treating treesWhat may have looked like a mad sci-

entist’s experiment was not weird sci-ence. It was the city’s effort at preserv-ing the health and welfare of more than300 oak trees in Augsburg Park last sum-mer. The enemy: two-lined chestnut bor-ers.

The native beetle’s name may nothave the same notoriety as the oft-dis-cussed emerald ash borer, but its pres-ence in Richfield is of grave concern tocity officials. In 2009 the native beetlewas discovered dwelling within oaktrees at the park. Last spring cityemployees removed 17 of the trees.

The plan for preserving the remain-ing oak trees in the park called for achemical injection to each of them. Thechemical is intended to kill the borer,but it will also kill other insects, a poten-tial side effect to treating the trees,Public Works Director Mike Eastlingnoted.

2011 resolution – channel switch and attitude controlIn the book

“Being Peace” byThich Nhat Hanh,there is an interest-ing idea that mightprovide guidance aswe mush towardsthe New Year 2011.

I am trying tostay grounded. I amhoping for commonsense decision-making. I have noted colleaguestalking about resolutions thatinclude yoga, healthy food con-sumption and more exercise.

Hanh talks about the Buddhainside and the control we eachhave from within. He suggests weshould think about ourselves as atelevision set with many options.

There are people who are stuckon Channel 3 – the sorrowfulchannel. They are always down-beat, complaining, sad andannoyed. They arrive with a “Heyain’t it awful” attitude.

Indeed there are real reasonsto have Channel 3 at the ready.Stuff happens that does not fit

into our work or life plan that isa Channel 3 event.

Just today I mentioned to mydaughter that some are dealtsuch challenging cards. TheVietnamese philosopher, howev-er, believes sometimes in our too-much Channel 3 focus, we missthe other channels that are avail-able and present. It is really likeforgetting all of the colors avail-able to us and only using blue.

There is a Channel 5 thatmay be about focusing on thehere and now. Just stoppingand breathing and being pres-ent is switching to Channel 5.

The other day, I quicklymoved to Channel 5 when I waswashing my hands and delightedin the warm water. Holding my22-month-old granddaughter andsmelling her hair and enjoyingher laughter is pure Channel 5.

I find Channel 5 a mini vaca-tion moment during the workday.I just switch stations and go to a“Happy Place.” I find Channel 5during a traffic jam and think ofthe tulips in Holland.

I am then quite able toswitch to Channel 8, which isabout program directing andproblem solving.

Teaching classes requires a dif-ferent channel. When I run, I flipto a relaxed no brainer channeland listen to my breathing andmy feet crunching on the snow.

Parenting requires a myriadof channels. We spent four dayswith three young children dur-ing the last big snowstorm. Atno time was Channel 5 anoption. We needed to be multifaceted, focused and at the ready.

Recognizing that within isour own channel control isquite empowering.

At times I have longed for achannel changer or clicker touse on others, which allows oneto switch channels from afar.Wouldn’t that be something ifwe could encourage others tocelebrate the oranges, brightreds and greens of their lives?

The truth is we each need topay attention to our own atti-tude and inner channel clicker.

Gail Goodwin said, “as soonas you feel yourself getting stucklike fat congealing on a plate,give yourself a kick.” I am tryingto avoid getting stuck at all costs.

Hanh says first you need tocherish, protect and make lifepossible and then work yourway back to all other issues.

The best way to make life pos-sible is to practice channelswitching and pay attention towonders that surround us andworthy of cherish. This is notabout ignoring sorrow. But it isabout not wallowing in it. Manyin sorrowful states have found theBuddha within to help them notonly survive but celebrate. I amtrying this New Year to use all ofmy channels. I am even consider-ing a cable hook up. 2011 is theyear to keep calm and carry on.

Library usage, lifelong learning, new resources highlight 2010BY LOIS LANGER THOMPSON • GUEST COLUMNIST

With over 17 million checkouts, 20 millionwebsite visits and more than 5.5 million librarybuilding visits, 2010 was an extraordinary yearfor library service in Hennepin County.

Hennepin County residents are ready andeager to read, learn, graduate, work andengage. In 2010, the library supported this by:

• Actively supporting school readiness withmore than 2,900 storytimes. Library storytimeis based on the most current early literacyresearch and encourages development of basicpre-reading skills. If you haven’t had a chanceto attend a storytime with your child or grand-child, we look forward to seeing you in 2011.

• Remaining committed to ensure thatevery student in the County graduates fromhigh school. Hundreds of students are assistedby librarians every day at our 41 libraries. Atour nine Homework Hub locations, volunteers

supervised by trained tutors help hundreds ofchildren and teens with their homework. Infact, graduating teens have told us that theywere able to graduate because of the help theyreceived through this program. Our websiteshows locations and hours for Homework Hubas well as volunteer applications.

• Offering programs and classes for cus-tomers of all ages. Career and small businessresources, including free consultations withprofessional career and small business coun-selors, are in high demand. This year morethan 650 free computer classes trained hun-dreds of individuals in new technologies.

There are many reasons to celebrate theyear 2010. New libraries opened inPlymouth and Maple Grove to serve thoserapidly growing communities. In responseto public demand, downloadable eBooksare now available at Hennepin CountyLibrary.

The National Association of Counties(NACo) awarded Hennepin County Library forcollaborating with Xcel Energy to makePowerCheck Energy Meters available for checkout. Minneapolis Central Library openedMondays, thanks to Ballpark sales tax revenue.

Every day, the library connects with thou-sands of library “friends” via social network-ing sites, including Twitter and Facebook.There are more than 6,000 visits each week toHennepin County Library’s own social net-working site, www.Bookspace.org, where youcan find recommendations for books or addyour suggestions for other readers.

Thank you for making 2010 an extraordi-nary year. The staff of Hennepin CountyLibrary looks forward to welcoming you to theLibrary in 2011 as we nourish minds, trans-form lives and build community together.

League marks its 90thyear of educatingTo the editor:

The League of Women Voters of theUnited States is celebrating its 90thyear.

It was established in 1920, the yearthe 20th amendment to theConstitution was passed. It was withthe passage of the 20th amendment, atwhich time women gained the right tovote, that the United States became atrue democracy.

Immediately at its inception theleague decided to be nonpartisan, thatis to never support or oppose any candi-date for political office. The league doestake positions on issues at the locallevel, only after study and discussion.Occasionally this embroils the leaguein controversy. It should be noted thatat times the party or group objectingturns out to be the beneficiary.

It is important to hold fast to ournonpartisan policy so as not to cast acloud over the work of the league. Ourprincipal work is to educate, advocateand reform the political system. Tofulfill this mission we must registervoters, hold candidate meetings, spon-sor public meetings on current issuesand produce studies that we publishand disseminate.

In addition, many of our memberstake an active part in elections, serv-ing as election judges, volunteeringfor recounts and serving on local,state and national boards, plus othercivic positions.

It is our hope to continue theseactivities for many years and to con-tinue in the effort to keep civic dis-course civil and informative.

A pair of holiday shoplifting spreesin Bloomington ended with arrests byBloomington Police.

A 43-year-old Bloomington womanfaces a potential assault charge in addi-tion to charges related to shoplifting fol-lowing a Dec. 17 incident in a Mall ofAmerica parking ramp.

The woman was suspected of stealing

items from Sears at Mall of America.When confronted by a loss prevention offi-cer inside the store she replied, “touch meand I’ll sue,” according to BloomingtonPolice Commander Mark Stehlik.

The woman left the store and was fol-lowed to her vehicle by loss preventionpersonnel, who surrounded her vehiclein an attempt to keep her from leavingbefore police arrived, Stehlik explained.The woman was undeterred however,

and backed into one of the loss preven-tion officers, striking him in the knee.She also swerved toward another officeras she pulled away, Stehlik noted.

Although the woman fled before policearrived, vehicle identification informa-tion led police to her Bloomington apart-ment several days later.

The woman has previously been con-victed for selling stolen goods online, and isknown to Bloomington investigators. She

was observed getting into a vehicle Dec. 23in the parking lot of her apartment build-ing, and following a traffic stop she wasfound to be in possession of a variety ofnew merchandise and a tool used to thwartprice tag security measures, Stehlik said.

Two Minneapolis men were alsoarrested in connection with shopliftingincidents at Mall of America.

By AirBroom Minnesota Furnace, Air Duct, and ChimneyCleaning & Restoration in Chanhassen.

You may be surprised to learn that Indoor Air istypically 2 – 5 times more polluted than Outdoor Air.

According to the EPA “indoor pollution sources thatrelease particles into the air are the primary cause of indoorair quality problems.” Particles such as dust, dander, moldspores, pet hair, and pollens accumulate in your air ducts. ACommonwealth of Massachusetts study found indoor aircontaminants are “responsible for or aggravate half of all ill-nesses.” Industry manufacturer Trane notes “poor indoor airquality affects more than 15 million Americans who haveasthma and more than 28 million others who suffer from hayfever and other allergies”. An ongoing University of Albertastudy finds “Two thirds of our lifetime is spent inside ourhomes.” Accumulations in ducts can cause irritation of theeyes, nose, throat, headaches, and fatigue. Often the besttreatment is simply to remove and eliminate the pollutants atthe source by cleaning the air ducts.

Cleaning of your homes HVAC system is a routine partof home maintenance. Heating, ventilation, and air condi-tioning (HVAC) systems have been shown to act as collec-tion sources for a variety of contaminants. Mold, fungi,bacteria, pet hair, and very small particles of dust have thepotential to affect your health. Removal of such contami-nants should be considered as one component in an overallplan to improve indoor air quality. The design of HVACsystems causes contaminants to accumulate in your ducts.Cold air returns move air from rooms to the furnace and actas built in vacuums pulling contaminants from rooms intoyour ducts. They again become airborne each time the blow-er starts and are eventually redistributed into your home.The EPA notes that “house dust mites, pollens, animal dan-der, and other allergy agents can be reduced through regularcleaning”. AirBroom Minnesota has powerful professionalduct cleaning equipment and uses the industry standard“push-pull” process to remove contaminants from insideyour HVAC system.

You Can Keep Your System Clean By Using TheProper Furnace Filter. Once clean you can keep yourHVAC system clean longer using good filters. There arethree basic types. Fiberglass/polyester filters are least expen-sive but only protect your furnaces’ blower motor from largepieces of debris. Better are pleated filters that capture medi-um to fine particles with their greater collection area. Bestare electrostatic pleated filters with a Minimum EfficiencyReporting Value (MERV) of 10 or greater as recommendedby the American Lung Association. These trap the greatestamount of fine particulate and help keep micro-particles outof your indoor air. Check furnace filter(s) monthly andreplace every 90 days. An overly dirty filter may reduce theefficiency of your HVAC system leading to higher powerbills and lower indoor air quality.

Consider This. The EPA notes “Consumers shouldbeware of air duct cleaning companies making sweepingclaims about the health benefits of duct cleaning. Consumersshould also beware of “blow-and-go” air duct cleaning com-panies. These companies often charge a nominal fee and doa poor job of cleaning. These companies may also persuadethe consumer into unneeded services with and/or withouttheir permission.”

Crash takes life of Bloomington womanAn 85-year-old Bloomington

woman died from injuries sustainedduring a Dec. 13 collision inBloomington.

Betty J. Smith died Dec. 21, eight daysafter she was injured in a three-vehiclecollision at the intersection of NicolletAvenue South and 95th Street.

Smith was a passenger in a cardriven by her husband, Robert. TheSmiths were traveling southbound onNicollet Avenue and attempting tomake a left turn onto 95th Street at1:45 p.m. when their vehicle wasstruck twice, first by a SUV travelingnorthbound and then by a car thatalso hit the SUV, according to Sgt.

Charles Gollop, traffic investigationsupervisor of the Bloomington PoliceDepartment.

A vehicle waiting to turn left inone northbound lane of NicolletAvenue may have obscured RobertSmith’s view of oncoming traffic inthe other northbound lane, Gollopnoted.

The collision occurred two daysafter a storm dumped more than afoot of snow across Bloomington.Because roads were still snowpacked, it appeared the third vehiclecouldn’t stop quickly enough to avoidstriking the other vehicles, Gollopsaid.

A garbage container caught onfire last week in Bloomington, butthere was plenty of snow to help putit out.

The Bloomington FireDepartment was called to a homeon the 1200 block of DevonshireCurve Dec. 26. Upon arrival fire-fighters found the fire mostly con-tained, as residents were throw-ing snow onto the burning trashbin, according to Fire Chief UlieSeal.

Although the container hadburned significantly, it did nodamage to the residence, Sealnoted.

Seal was uncertain of thecause of the fire, but said it waslikely accidental, possibly fromhot ashes.

Occasionally garbage contain-ers ignite from ashes or a ciga-rette butt, but it’s an infrequentoccurrence, he said.

“People are usually pretty careful.”

Trash bin burns, snow helped put fire out

Investing in EducationRBCU is deeply involved in our local school districts, sports programs and the arts. Over the years, we’ve donated thousands of dollars and countless volunteer hours to the Richfield, Bloomington and Edina school systems. From scholarships, school supplies and scoreboards to educating students about financial planning, RBCU invests in our community’s youth.

Investing in Our CommunityBut our commitment to education doesn’t stop at school. RBCU’s donations help support various organizations in our community, such as the Wood Lake Nature Center, the Richfield Historical Society and Bloomington Heritage Days.

RBCU also sees the value in sustained growth and development in our communities. Our new building, located on 95th & Lyndale Avenue in Bloomington, anchors the growing Oxboro neighborhood. Our newest branch—and future phases—is one of the key components in the revitalization efforts transforming east Bloomington, and we are proud to be a part of this change.

Investing in Our MembersRBCU is different than a typical bank. We put our members first by helping them invest in their own futures. As a not-for-profit business, RBCU’s profits go back to our members in the form of lower rates on loans and higher dividends on saving accounts.

So if you’re not happy with your current bank, stop by any of our locations to see why you’d be proud to bank at RBCU.

RBCU Invests to Strengthen CommunityMany of the more than 15,000 RBCU members often tell us how proud they are to bank at RBCU. Still, many people aren’t sure what a credit union is. Simply put, a credit union is like a bank—only better. RBCU offers many of the services you expect to find at a bank, including credit cards, personal

and small business loans and online banking. But unlike a bank, at RBCU you’re more than an account number. As a not-for-profit business, we are committed to excellent customer service and work to improve the lives of our members. We also save you money by offering lower rates and fees.

But most importantly, we are dedicated to the communities we serve. We live, work, worship and study in the same communities as our members, which is why RBCU truly is Your Neighborly Credit Union™. Here are a few reasons you’d be proud to bank at RBCU:
