A bandshellfor Richfield?

BY BILLIE JO RASSATSUN NEWSPAPERS

Will the city of Richfield get abandshell?

At a special city council work ses-sion June 28, Richfield RecreationServices Director Jim Topitzhofer, asa representative of the CommunityServices Committee, gave a presenta-tion on the ins and outs of putting abandshell in Richfield.

“The purpose of this presentationis to see if we want to spend moretime and effort exploring this proj-ect,” Topitzhofer said.

During his proposal, Topitzhoferreported to city council members onthe many benefits Richfield wouldreceive such as an improvement to thequality of life that attracts tax-payingbusinesses and residents and a poten-tial boost in local economy by attract-ing visitors outside of the community.

Other community benefits men-tioned included a strengthening inRichfield’s appeal and cultural vitali-ty and a sense of place and social fab-ric in Richfield to preserve culturalmeaning and heritage.

“There is national research thatproves bandshell amenities doincrease surrounding propertyvalue,” Topitzhofer said.

Getting mom out of the houseRichfield MOMS Clubprovides interaction forstay-at-home momsBY BILLIE JO RASSATSUN NEWSPAPERS

From making a nightmareseem less scary with a kiss and acuddle or magically getting outany stain on a favorite shirt,moms have many talents, butbeing a mom can have a downside — isolation.

“We try to beat that stay-at-home isolation,” MOMS Club ofRichfield President Carly Kiddsaid.

The MOMS Club of Richfieldhas been getting mothers out ofthe house and interacting withother mothers for twelve years.

Back in 1983, MOMS Club wasestablished in California by astay-at-home mother tired ofbeing at home alone. Now morethan 2,000 chapters, with more

than 100,000 members, spanacross the nation, according tothe chapter website.

“Our main purpose is to givesupport for mothers, especiallythose that stay at home,” formerPresident Gretchen Pyle said.

The Richfield chapter fillseach month with activities formothers and their children toparticipate in together such asorganized play dates, park andwater pad visits, bike riding,book club, recipe club, crafts, cof-fee klatch, field trips and discus-sion groups.

The group also meets eachmonth for the always-anticipated‘MOMS Night Out,’ where thewomen organize an adults-onlyexcursion away from the kidswith activities such as going tothe movies, dinner, game nights,shopping, pot lucks or spa nights.

Not limited to play dates,MOMS Club of Richfield spendstime each month on differentservice projects. Whether theyparticipate with Feed My

Starving Children, VEAP,Bundles of Love, park clean-upsor celebrating holidays with sen-ior citizens, the group takes timeto give back.

“It is a great way to knowother moms with kids the sameage as yours and as time goes byyou build great, lasting rela-tionships with those moms,”Kidd said.

The Richfield chapter is 40members strong, meeting thefourth Monday of each monthat 9 a.m., at Diamond LakeLutheran Church, 5760Portland Ave., Minneapolis.

“We are always open formoms to come and see what weare about,” Kidd said.

An application and a yearlydue is all that is required tojoin; and because MOMS Clubunderstands that choosing tostay home with the children canoften be accompanied by con-siderable financial sacrifice,dues are only $25 per year.

None of the benefits could beapplied if the bandshell is notused, however. The growingRichfield Concerts in the Park,an official home for the RichfieldSymphonic Band, school, churchand other concerts, outdoor the-ater, weddings and graduationswere all listed as potential uses.

The two potential locationspresented on by Topitzhofer wereat the site of the old LyndaleGarden Center and at VeteransPark, southeast of the ice arena.

Councilmember Fred Wrogesaid that in order for a bandshellto be successful in Richfield itwould have to be in VeteransPark.

Councilmembers SueSandahl and Tom Fitzhenryagreed that Veterans Park wasthe better of the locations, withSandahl stating, “Veterans Parkis so well used.”

The aesthetics of the band-shell were also discussed; withthe mention of a prefabricated

band shell should the financialend restrict the project.

A slide show of other metro-area bandshells, such as thestructures in Maple Grove, nearLake Harriet and in Red Wing,gave the council an idea on whatthe project could look like.

All of the examples featured athree-way enclosed structurewith glass backing to make therear of the band shells seethrough.

The glass feature appealed toMayor Debbie Goettel as well asthe other council members.

A member of the RichfieldSymphonic Band spoke to addincentive and perspective on athree-sided enclosure to allow forthe sound to carry to the audi-ence rather than disappearthrough any open space in therear.

According to Topitzhofer, theband shell would have a 50 foot by35 foot stage, just enough to seat a50 member band, with a mini-mum of 300 audience seats.

The Community ServicesCommittee will continue toinvestigate the possibility of theinstallation.

Uniform drive focuses onblue Cub Scout versionBY JONATHAN YOUNG • SUN NEWSPAPERS

More than 5,000 children join CubScouts each year in the Northern StarCouncil, the division of the Boy Scoutsthat serves the TwinCities and beyond.

That means a lot ofthe familiar blue-shirtuniforms are neededto clothe all thosegreen scouts. But notevery scout’s familycan afford a uniform.

Enter BrooklynPark-based PilgrimCleaners and itsfourth annualScouting for Uniformscampaign.

The campaign,which runs during themonth of July, seeksto collect donated uni-forms from the publicfor distribution toscouts in need.Throughout themonth of July all 25Pilgrim Cleanerslocations will havebins to accept dona-tions of used scoutinguniforms. PilgrimCleaners will removepatches if necessary, clean the uniformsand pass them on to the Northern StarCouncil for distribution.

Scouting uniforms of all sizes and fromall eras are needed, but this year the spe-cial focus is on Cub Scout uniforms.

Kent York of the Northern Star Councilsays this year’s drive is focusing on CubScout uniforms because Cub Scouts is theentry point into the scouting program, andthe Northern Star Council doesn’t wantpotential scouts not to join because theycan’t afford a uniform.

In addition, boys in the Cub Scout agegroup (first- through third-grade) tend togrow quickly and often need a differentsize uniform each year. That may be thereason why Cub Scout uniforms have runout most quickly during past distribu-tions.

Uniform donations are especiallyimportant during these tough economictimes. York said that in 2009 an independ-ent research group determined that about5,000 youth in Boy Scouts in the TwinCities received free and reduced lunch atschool. That indicated a high level of need.

Bonnie Engler is the President ofPilgrim Cleaners.

“There is a need,” she said. “When westarted exploring this, we realized therewere a lot of kids who would like to join

the Boy Scouts andweren’t.”

Engler started theuniform drive fouryears ago after hear-ing about a similarprogram happening inanother part of thecountry. The Scoutingfor Uniforms cam-paign has met withsuccess.

“It’s grown everyyear,” she said.

The first year thedrive collected 350 uni-forms. The secondyear it collected 560and last year it collect-ed 564. This year thegoal is to collect 750uniforms.

“I think that’s areachable goal,”Engler said. “We’revery fortunate here.We have a communitythat’s very willing andable to donate.”

Engler said lastyear one Pilgrim Cleaners location had aman bring in a whole box of uniforms hehad been saving.

“I’m always overwhelmed to see howwonderfully and eagerly the communityresponds to these drives,” she said.

Engler said people who don’t have useduniforms but still want to help can donatefunds to the Northern Star Council to buynew uniforms.

During July, uniforms can be droppedoff at all 25 Pilgrim Cleaners locations 7a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. The nearest loca-tion can be found atpilgrimdrycleaners.com.

Uniforms can also be dropped off at theGolden Valley Scout Service Center, 5300Glenwood Ave. or the St. Paul ScoutService Center, 393 Marshall Ave. 8 a.m. to5:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

Monetary contributions should be sentto Northern Star Council BSA, Attn: KentYork, 5300 Glenwood Ave., Golden Valley,MN 55422.

Richfield City Council mulls changein waste container storage guidelinesBY BOB RINGER • SUN NEWSPAPERS INTERN

Richfield residents may have torethink how they store their garbage,refuse and recyclable containers,depending on the fate of a potentialamendment to the city code.

The Richfield City Council conducteda first reading on June 28 of an ordi-nance that would require waste contain-ers to be stored within an enclosedstructure or screened from public viewbetween weekly collections.

The amendment, which is scheduledfor a second reading July 26, wouldrequire residents to ensure their wastecontainers cannot be seen from thestreet.

Materials used to screen waste con-tainers may consist of a wall, fence,evergreen plantings or other screeningmaterial of at least 50 percent opacity.Enclosures or screens must comply withall city codes regarding to setback andheight requirements.

The potential amendment is a resultof the work of the citizen-basedProperty Excellence Task Force, a groupestablished by the city council in 2009 torecommend changes to ordinances andpolices with the goal of improving thelivability and property values in thecommunity.

The city council instructed staff tobring a draft ordinance addressing theissue of waste container storage earlierthis summer.

If the amendment is approved, resi-

dents will have six months to adhere tothe new requirements, which would intoeffect Jan. 1, 2012.

City council members supported themeasure, which could potentially reducethe amount of litter in Richfield.

However, Mayor Debbie Goettelacknowledged that the amendment maycreate extra work for residents, includ-ing building or installing structures toscreen their waste containers and hav-ing to shovel a path from their contain-ers to the driveway in the winter.

Councilmember Fred Wroge voicedhis opinion, arguing in favor of theamendment.

“Change affects people in manyways,” Wroge said, “but if you reallycare what the city looks like, people willcomply.”

The council also discussed ways tonotify residents of the new require-ments should the amendment beapproved.

BY MATTHEW HANKEYSUN NEWSPAPERS

Moving across state lines is acomplicated endeavor. Whensports allegiances are broughtinto the equation, it makes for acomplete mess.

I moved from Eau Claire, Wis.to the Twin Cities metro areathree years ago. I was never moreaware of this than on a recenttrip to Milwaukee to take in aMinnesota Twins-MilwaukeeBrewers game with my wife, sis-ter and her husband.

I have been a Green BayPackers fan since age seven, butnever bothered to hop on theBrewers bandwagon. Born inOhio, I was a Cincinnati Redsfan, but renounced all baseballties after the strike in the mid-1990s. In 2008, the Brewers madethe playoffs for the first timesince I was born. My faith was

renewed, and I followed everygame that season with a band-wagon fervor that Minnesotasports fan can appreciate.

In the few years following, Ihave followed the Brewers whileat the same time rooting for theTwins. I warmed up to theTwinkies because of their low-key but talented clubhouse, and Icould justify rooting for themsince their rivalry with theBrewers had largely becomedefunct save for two annual inter-league series.

My sports allegiances wereput to the ultimate test whenthese two teams faced off on arecent Saturday night inMilwaukee. Going into the game,the allegiances of my wife, sisterand her husband were set instone. My wife is a diehard Twinsfan and life-long Minnesota resi-dent, and my sister and her hus-band are casual sports fans and

default Brewers fans by location.It was up to me. Do I root for

the Brewers and alienate mywife, or root for the Twins andturn my back on my home state?I made my decision and let’s justsay I’m still married, even if itkilled a little part of my soul.

Unfortunately, at least thatnight, I made the wrong decision.The Brewers crushed the Twins11-1 in Game 2 of a series theBrew Crew ended up sweeping.Each time the Brewers scored arun, the fans at Miller Park stoodup and roared. I remained seated,slightly deflated, but secretlygloating in the Brewers successthat day.

No matter your team affilia-tion, it was easy to see that onthat day, the Milwaukee Brewerswere the better team. Had theTwins not had half their rosteron the disabled list, the outcomecould have been much different.

In any case, I am over the crush-ing defeat, and look forward torooting for both teams the rest ofthe season.

That said, my love of baseballwill never be as strong as when Irooted for the Reds in the late1980s and early 1990s. Footballhas permanently replaced it inmy heart. Even though I wasembarrassed with my decisiontwo weekends ago, I can rest easyknowing that the Green BayPackers are the NFL Super BowlChampions.

Governor, legislature get a big red “F”So let’s say you blow a fuse in

your brain and you’re rushed tothe hospital. When you get there,the doctor informs you he can’toperate today.

He had a dispute with his wifeover breakfast. When he arrivedat the hospital, he had a disputewith chief of staff. There was noway to resolve the disputes sosorry, you have to die.

That might be a bit over-dram-atizing what a state governmentshutdown is all about, but you getthe idea.

The Minnesota Legislatureand Gov. Mark Dayton refused tooperate and we – all of us readingthis who helped elect them andwho pay their salaries – are thelosers.

If you have someone whorefuses to do his or her job like thephysician referenced above, theanswer is simple. “You’re fired,”to quote Donald Trump.

Unfortunately, we have to wait

until the next election cycle to“fire” any of our politicians. Andvoters have notoriously shortmemories.

My best guess is this shut-down won’t even be a topic duringthe upcoming campaigns.

Any elected official on eitherside of this issue who believes thepeople of Minnesota are going tobuy either argument for failing toavoid a state shutdown may bewearing some hefty rose-coloredglasses.

Conservative, moderate or lib-eral, Minnesotans understandwhat it means to “do good work,”as Garrison Keillor is fond of say-ing. What happened July 1, 2011,does not represent “good work”

on the part of anyone.They didn’t “get-er-done,” as

Larry the Cable Guy would say.Perhaps Minnesota’s politi-

cians need to take a page from theold NASA handbook. “Failure isnot an option.”

You remember those days, nodoubt, when all of us had differ-ences of opinions but compro-mised to accomplish the goal. Butwhen it meant saving the lives ofthree astronauts, no one at NASAwas willing to give up and shutdown operations in Houston.

The best face that can be put onthe entire injustice is that coolerheads will prevail over the longholiday weekend and an agree-ment can be reached Tuesday.This is being written Fridaymorning to accommodate shortholiday print deadlines here atthe newspaper.

What happens once the lightsare turned back on is up to us astaxpayers and voters. If “crisis

management” is your preferredform of governance, then youshould fold your hands over yourchest and laugh heartily at every-one who was harmed in theprocess.

If your sense of fair-play andpropriety has been breached, theball is now in your court. You canyawn and walk away … politics asusual … or you can stand up andlet your thoughts be known.

Whatever side of the politicalaisle you are on, the sad factremains that the legislature andthe governor were given a job todo and they failed to do it.

The patient died.Most of us were prepared to

live with whatever was decided,but to simply not decide is unac-ceptable.

As a taxpayer and theiremployer, clearly the governorand legislature have earned a“fails to meet minimum expecta-tions” rating.

Principally blessedRichfield Catholic schoolgains new leadershipBY BILLIE JO RASSAT • SUN NEWSPAPERS

Richfield’s Blessed Trinity CatholicSchool is under new management asPatrick O’Keefe has taken over the reinsas principal.

O’Keefe will be replacing Sue Kerr,who has accepted the principal positionat CarondeletCatholic School inMinneapolis.

Prior to his newposition, O’Keefehas spent the lastsix years as an edu-cator and assistantprincipal at OurLady of SorrowsCatholic School inMcAllen, Texas.

“I have missedfar too manyTwins’ games,” hesaid.

After O’Keefe’sfamily grew by onewith the birth ofhis son Liam, heand his wife decid-ed they would liketo be closer to fami-ly in Minnesota,O’Keefe said.

“I had been look-ing in the TwinCities for jobopportunities inCatholic schools,when I saw theposition opening at Blessed Trinity, Iengaged the situation immediately,”O’Keefe said.

O’Keefe was the unanimous choice ofthe search committee, which was com-prised of members from the schoolboard, corporate board, faculty and allthree parish priests, according to theRev. Tony VanderLoop, canonicaladministrator at Blessed Trinity.

“They liked what I had to say, and Iliked what they had to say about theirpassion for their school and of Catholiceducation,” O’Keefe said.

A Catholic education is different, it isbigger than just developing the academ-ics; a Catholic education develops thewhole person, said O’Keefe.

“My Catholic education has been animportant part of forming me as a per-son,” he said.

O’Keefe grew up attending SaintPascal Baylon School on the east side ofSaint Paul.

After graduating in 2001 fromDeLaSalle High School in Minneapolis,

O’Keefe completedhis undergraduatestudies and Masterof Educationdegree at theUniversity ofNotre Dame in theAlliance forCatholic Educationprogram.

With family tiesin Richfield,O’Keefe’s child-hood has manyfond memories ofthe area.

“I grew upattending theRichfield Fourth ofJuly Parade everyyear,” O’Keefe said.

O’Keefe’s con-tract began July 1.

“I am thrilled tocome back homeand looking for-ward to continuingthe great work Sue[Kerr] has beendoing,” O’Keefesaid.

Kerr has been the principal for threeyears and was the assistant principal forone year before that. She has been aCatholic educator for 20 years beforebecoming assistant principal.

“Thank you so much for allowing meinto your lives and for sharing with methe responsibility of educating ourschool children in the traditions of ourfaith. I love working with such involvedparents and parishioners who are will-ing to help out and share themselves forthe benefit of our school and our chil-dren,” Kerr said as words of farewell.

Collegiate newspaperabandons print editionNormandale CommunityCollege’s Lions’ Roarmoves to online formatBY MIKE HANKS • SUN NEWSPAPERS

As far as funerals go, there wasn’t muchsadness.

The Normandale Community Collegenewspaper, Lions’ Roar, published its lastedition in April. The paper, which datesback more than four decades, was pub-lished once every three weeks, featuringmany of the traditional articles and fea-tures common to collegiate newspapers.But like major daily and community week-ly newspapers around the country, theleadership of Lions’ Roar has stopped thepresses.

The student media, however, isn’tgoing away. Since 2004 the college’s news-paper staff has had an online presence inaddition to its traditional newspaper.There were several reasons why it made

sense to shift the focus to the online con-tent and away from the print product,according to faculty advisor Mark Plenke.

“This is a generation of people weddedto their iPhones,” Plenke said. Whether itbe through a mobile device or a traditionalcomputer, the Lions’ Roar website garnersmore than 1,000 unique visitors permonth, he said. Conversely the newspaperstaff is recycling a greater percentage ofthe 2,000 papers printed every three weeks,he explained.

With the shift to an online format theLions’ Roar staff will function more like adaily newspaper staff, according to Plenke.

Without collegiate sports to cover eachweek and little opportunity to cover break-ing news for its print product, Lions’ Roarhas operated more like a magazine, Plenkeexplained. Students have compensated byexploring perspectives about what hap-pens on campus, but the end of the printproduct will bring a change in emphasis.Instead of the website being secondary to

the print product, it will now be the solefocus of staff writers, allowing a focussimilar to that of a daily newspaper, hesaid.

It was a change that wasn’t possiblewithout discontinuing the print product,he noted. Providing daily content online inaddition to articles for the print editionwas more work than the Lions’ Roar staffcould handle. “It’s twice as much work, ormore,” he said. Most agreed, “This is theright time to do this.”

Discontinuing the print edition was notan economic decision. Sure, students werepicking up the newspaper with less fre-quency, but the Lions’ Roar staff has anadvantage over its commercial counter-parts, it is the beneficiary of student feesto fund its staffing and daily operations.Advertising sold within the paper wascomparable to the cost of printing it, so thenews gathering functions shouldn’t beaffected by the loss of print advertisingrevenue, Plenke explained.

The challenges of overseeing a digitalnews staff will be similar, however, to thechallenges of the past several years.

Plenke – a communications departmentinstructor – has been the Lions’ Roar advi-sor since 2003. Unlike four-year campuseswhere newspaper staffs are comprisedlargely of journalism department stu-dents, the Lions’ Roar staff is comprisedof students who may have taken commu-nications classes at the college, buthaven’t had the benefit of two or threeyears of rigorous journalism instruc-tion. “These are students who have notmade up their mind about what theircareers are going to be, for the mostpart,” he said.

In addition to teaching students howto construct a news article rather than anessay, there’s an annual turnover rate ofabout 90 percent, sometimes as high as 75percent between semesters, he said.

Some students do move on to a four-year school and pursue a journalismdegree as a result of their Normandaleexperience, Plenke noted.

The college will be introducing fivenew digital media courses next year, sothe conversion of the paper goes hand-in-hand with that, Plenke explained.

As they think about media careers,“this will be a better training ground forstudents,” Plenke said.

In Dick Thorud’s world of ideas,there’s always a better way.

During his 34 years as a design andresearch engineer for the ToroCompany, building a better lawnmower or snow thrower was his goal.

Creative problem-solving was hismethod.

“I didn’t know that they wouldwork,” said Thorud of his inventions.“That’s the excitement of the wholething, that sometimes you can come upwith great ideas. Sometimes they workand sometimes they don’t.”

Thorud was a prolific inventor,earning 78 U.S. and internationalpatents, said Larry Buckley, divisioncounsel for Toro. Many of Thorud’sinnovations are still used in Toro prod-ucts and they played an important partin the company’s success in the resi-dential lawn mower and snow throwermarkets, Buckley said. Last year, theBloomington-based company reported$1.7 billion in sales.

In recognition of his accomplish-ments, Thorud was inducted into theMinnesota Inventors Hall of Fame in June. The Bloomington resident retired from Toro in 2000.

Working as senior principalresearch engineer at Toro’s researchand development unit, Thorud was freeto explore ideas and research markettrends before developing full-size pro-totypes and testing them in the field.But he also worked on projectsassigned by the marketing department,with the goal of creating high-qualityproducts that consumers would buy.

Thorud drew on his art training tofuel his creativity. As a student atSouth High School and AugsburgCollege in Minneapolis, he took cours-es in art as well as advanced math andscience, and later earned a fine artsundergraduate degree from theUniversity of Minnesota.

“I had dual interests. I liked the cre-ative freedom you had in art and I alsoliked the discipline that came in math-ematics and sciences,” said Thorud, 77.

Although Thorud didn’t have anengineering degree, his curiosity andenthusiasm for learning spurred himto take short courses at area colleges infields like hydraulics, plastics andinternal combustion engines.

Art was a key to his success. He cre-ated concept sketches and built minia-ture clay models in his office, effectivetools to persuade co-workers and boss-es that his concepts would work in thereal world. He created a cartoon stripmodeled after the “Calvin and Hobbes”comic series to explain the then-novelconcept of mulching. “I was able tovisualize things in my mind and seethem working,” he said. “You have anaffinity for spatial relationships.”

That talent set Thorud apart fromother engineers or technicians, saidBuckley, a former Toro patent attorney.“He just had this kind of artistic flairabout inventing,” Buckley said. “Heworked at that interface between tech-nology and the arts.”

Buckley also remembers Thorud as

soft-spoken and modest. ”I can’t recallhim ever promoting himself,” Buckleysaid. “Dick was always promoting hisinventions, which you kind of have todo when you’re in research and devel-opment.”

Many of Thorud’s innovations werecommercial successes, but he’s proud-

est of the ones that enhanced productsafety or benefitted the environment.

In 1969, Thorud developed the“Guardian” line of mowers, whichincorporated safety features designedto prevent foot injuries and damagecaused by debris thrown out of themower’s path. For the first time, rearsafety shields and foot guards wereadded to the machines, and led to thedevelopment of new federal safetystandards for the industry, he said.

The “Recycler” mulching system forlawn mowers was developed by 1988.

Before, grass clippings were collectedin bags and hauled away to landfills,creating tons of waste. The new systemchopped up the grass clippings intosmaller pieces that could decomposeand fertilize the lawn.

Since retiring, Thorud has had moretime to spend with his wife Darlene,two adult children and five grandchil-dren. He’s also filling his time with cre-ative projects, including a one-manshow of his photographs scheduled forearly 2012 at the Bloomington ArtCenter. He’s also written, illustrated

and self-published 10 books and isworking on a 500-page book about cre-ativity.

Creativity has always played animportant role in Thorud’s life,whether it involved inventing newtechnology or more artistic projects.“The creative portion of the work isthe same, whether you’re writing abook or writing an article or creatinga photograph or a piece of sculpture,”he said. “It really doesn’t matter,because the creative part is always thesame.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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