Eden Prairie to try drain tile toalleviate groundwater problemsBY PAUL GROESSEL • SUN NEWSPAPERS

Several drainage complaints fromEden Prairie residents have led the cityto attempt a drain-tile pilot project toalleviate over saturation in some areas.

Some private property, streets andtrails have been damaged from a “per-fect storm” of wet conditions, said RodRue, city engineer and interim directorof public works.

The combination of sump pump com-pliance (as part of the city’s residentialsump pump inspections), a wet springand poor water infiltration into someneighborhoods’ soil has created theoverly wet problems, he said.

Many of the problems have occurredin the northwest part of the city, Ruesaid, which has a high groundwatertable and its heavier soil doesn’t allowfor easy water infiltration. Add waterfrom sump pumps, which are constantlyrunning in some homes, and that cancreate weakened roadways and damagedlawns.

Rue said, engineering and publicworks staff have been surveying areasin the city for problems, but he didn’tspeak specifically to the extent of thedrainage issues.

“There are areas throughout townthat have problems,” he said.

Since there will be mill and overlay

work on Westridge Drive, in the centralpart of the city, the pilot project willbegin there, Rue said. They can get thedrain tile in before the street gets over-lay work completed.

The pilot project will involve theinstallation of drain tile behind thecurbs to alleviate the drainage issues,Rue outlined in a memo. The drain tilewill include catch basins where adjacentresidents can hook on their sump pumplines. A connection point for buriedsump pumps is also expected, accordingto Rue.

The system will allow water to drainalongside of the road rather than belowthe roads, sidewalks and trails, whichweakens those structures.

“Some of our main roads have draintiles in them, but some of these neigh-borhood streets didn’t have drain tile tobegin with,” Rue said.

City staff, with the help of residents,have identified other areas that couldbenefit from the pilot project, so if it’ssuccessful, the system could be installedelsewhere, Rue said.

Project financing is expected throughthe city’s utility wastewater fund. Thecity will go out for construction quotesfor the project, and Rue expects the citycouncil will be given a recommendationduring its July 19 meeting.

You don’t have to join a gym to get a workout. Recent

studies show that every hour of moderate physical activity

can add two hours to your life. So there’s no need to

radically alter your exercise habits to improve your health,

and live longer! Just enjoy everyday activities like walking

the dog. Washing the car. Cutting the grass. Playing golf.

Or just taking the stairs instead of the elevator.

Don’t sweat it if spinning classes aren’t your style. Just

get out and do something physical each day. You’ll feel

better, and live longer. Besides, the stair climber at the

Federal grant moneyawarded to dislocatedTyco employeesAssistance could bedelayed because of stategovernment shutdownBY PAUL GROESSEL • SUN NEWSPAPERS

The federal government will providesome assistance to the 175 TycoElectronics, now known as TEConnectivity, workers laid off from EdenPrairie and Shakopee locations, but alooming Minnesota state governmentshutdown would delay the aid.

The U.S. Department of Laborannounced Monday, June 27, that a$557,433 National Emergency Grant wasawarded to help the dislocated workersfind jobs, receive job training and otherassistance.

Those services will go through theMinnesota Department of Employmentand Economic Development. DEEDapplied for the grant on behalf of theworkers, according to Larry Eisenstadt, aDEED employment and training coordina-tor.

“It was the extent of the layoff thatprobably allowed us to get that grant … thedepth of the layoff in Eden Prairie andShakopee,” Eisenstadt said.

Eisenstadt said the workers will also beeligible for Trade Adjustment Assistancebenefits from the U.S. Department ofLabor, which also provides job-seeker and

employee training for those who lost pro-duction jobs that are sent outside the coun-try. The TAA services provide job searchassistance, career planning and education.

However, with the 2011-2013 state budg-et left unsettled between Gov. Mark Daytonand the Legislature, only the state’s essen-tial services were expected to continueafter July 1 until the two parties reach anagreement.

On Wednesday, June 29, RamseyCounty Judge Kathleen Gearin deter-mined what those essential services wouldbe.

Assistance to former Tyco job seekerswas not one of them, Eisenstadt said, sothe worker’s assistance will be delayeduntil a budget is settled.

Some Tyco layoffs occurred inFebruary 2010, but the bulk of the layoffsare expected between March andDecember, according to a Department ofLabor statement.

Tyco first announced it would acquireADC Telecommunications in July 2010,and the sale was completed in December2010.

The Eden Prairie location is expected toclose, and the remaining employees willwork in Shakopee, which will have limitedmanufacturing operations.

A majority of Tyco's manufacturingoperations in Shakopee will relocate toMexico and New Mexico, TycoCommunications Manager Mike Ratcliffsaid earlier this year.

Uniform drive focuses on blue 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 Scouts thatserves the Twin Cities and beyond.

That means a lot of the familiar blue-shirt uniforms are needed to clothe allthose green scouts. But not every scout’sfamily can afford a uniform.

Enter Brooklyn Park-based PilgrimCleaners and its fourth annual Scoutingfor Uniforms campaign.

The campaign, which runs during themonth of July, seeks to collect donated uni-forms from the public for distribution toscouts in need. Throughout the month ofJuly all 25 Pilgrim Cleaners locations willhave bins to accept donations of usedscouting uniforms. Pilgrim Cleaners willremove patches if necessary, clean the uni-forms and pass them on to the NorthernStar Council for distribution.

Scouting uniforms of all sizes and fromall eras are needed, but this year the specialfocus 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 want

potential 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 distributions.

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 theBoy Scouts and weren’t.”

Engler started the uniform drive fouryears ago after hearing about a similar pro-gram happening in another part of thecountry. The Scouting for Uniforms cam-paign has met with success.

“It’s grown every year,” she said.The first year the drive collected 350 uni-

forms. The second year it collected 560 andlast year it collected 564. This year the goalis to collect 750 uniforms.

“I think that’s a reachable goal,” Englersaid. “We’re very fortunate here. We have acommunity that’s very willing and able todonate.”

Engler said last year one PilgrimCleaners location had a man bring in awhole box of uniforms he had 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.

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-dramatizing what a state govern-ment shutdown is all about, butyou get the idea.

The Minnesota Legislatureand Gov. Mark Dayton refused tooperate and we – all of us read-ing this who helped elect themand who pay their salaries – arethe losers.

If you have someone whorefuses to do his or her job likethe physician referenced above,the answer is simple. “You’refired,” to quote Donald Trump.

Unfortunately, we have towait until the next election cycle

to “fire” any of our politicians.And voters have notoriouslyshort memories.

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

Any elected official on eitherside of this issue who believesthe people of Minnesota aregoing to buy either argument forfailing to avoid a state shutdownmay be wearing some hefty rose-colored glasses.

Conservative, moderate orliberal, Minnesotans under-stand what it means to “do goodwork,” as Garrison Keillor isfond of saying. What happenedJuly 1, 2011, does not represent“good work” on the part of any-

one.They didn’t “get-er-done,” as

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

cians need to take a page fromthe old NASA handbook.“Failure is not an option.”

You remember those days, nodoubt, when all of us had differ-ences of opinions but compro-mised to accomplish the goal.But when it meant saving thelives of three astronauts, no oneat NASA was willing to give upand shut down operations inHouston.

The best face that can be puton the entire injustice is thatcooler heads will prevail overthe long holiday weekend and anagreement can be reachedTuesday. This is being writtenFriday morning to accommo-date short holiday print dead-lines here at the 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 ateveryone who was harmed in theprocess.

If your sense of fair-play andpropriety has been breached, theball is now in your court. Youcan yawn and walk away … poli-tics as usual … or you can standup and let your thoughts beknown.

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.

No demand forBirch Island Woodsparking lotTo the editor:

As a long-term resident ofEden Prairie, I have a specialinterest in the proposal to insert apaved parking lot in the BirchIsland woods. Having reviewedthe plan, I find it questionable forseveral important reasons.

First, I have not been able toidentify any source that has estab-lished a need for this additionalparking space. It appears that cur-rent parking space is sufficient, ifone takes into account the adjoin-ing parking at Eden Wood Centerand road parking on Indian Chiefand Birch Island roads.

Until the need for more park-ing is clearly documented, there is

no reason to move forward withthis project.

Second, the area in question isa carefully preserved wooded areabought by Eden Prairie taxpay-ers; a small, precious oasis ofwoods and wetland scenery andquiet. The woods are easilyreached by a city and regionalbike trails. Inserting a paved park-ing lot into such a scene wouldclearly violate the intent and spir-it of this wooded preserve.

Finally, since there is nodemonstrated need, the fundingproposed for this parking projectcould clearly be better spent onother needs in Eden Prairie. Iurge the city council to rethinkthis matter.

OPINION

The four ways to deal withmean-spirited peopleBY TROY DOBBS • GUEST COLUMNIST

Over the years I have run into my fairshare of mean-spirited, conflict-lovingpeople, and I am sure you have too. Youmay sleep beside one at night or work forone during the day. Mean-spirited, conflict-loving people are virtually everywhere. Sohow do we deal with mean-spirited people?

The Bible says to resist your instinct forrevenge. Romans 12:17 says, “Do not repayanyone evil for evil.” This means you sus-pend the law of the payback. You foregotrying to scheme and devise ways to geteven. When people are rude or mean, tryto crawl into their skin and see thingsfrom their perspective. Ask yourself, “Whyare they acting this way?” Then take thehigh road; treat them the way you wouldlike to be treated. Present an offer ofpeace.

If your desire is to please God, He willbless you by letting you get along withsome of your enemies. Romans 12:18 says,“If it is possible, as far as it depends onyou, live at peace with everyone.” Withthis approach, one of two things will hap-pen. If they accept your offer of peace, youhave won your friend. Proverbs 16:7 says,“When a man’s ways are pleasing to theLord, he makes even his enemies live atpeace with him.” If they reject your offer,living at peace with that person is impossi-ble, but there is still hope.

A third way to deal with mean-spiritedpeople is to just get out of God’s way,because God is trying to do something.Romans 12:19 says, “Do not take revenge,my friends, but leave room for God’swrath. For it is written, it is mine toavenge. I will repay.” Leaving room for

God’s wrath means if you intervene, andtry to exercise revenge, you’re getting inGod’s way. So be patient, get out of God’sway, and let God do his work.

However, we should still desire God’sbest for people. Proverbs 24:17-18 says, “Donot gloat when your enemy falls. When hestumbles, do not let your heart rejoice. Ifyou do, the Lord will see and he’ll disap-prove and he’ll turn his wrath away fromhim.”

The fourth way to deal with mean-spir-ited people is to kill your enemies withkindness. Romans 12:21 says, “Do not beovercome by evil, but overcome evil withgood.” Do the unexpected. If your enemyis hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, givehim something to drink. They don’t expectthat. Romans 12:20 says, “It’s like puttingburning coals on their head.” You may bethinking, “Exactly, I want them to suffer!”But this verse means something entirelydifferent; your unexpected kindness letsthem burn with remorse.

The goal for your relationships withmean people is not to burn them, but tobless them. Thus when you demonstratekindness to somebody who showed angertoward you, they burn with shame. Theymay not show it outwardly. They may notsay, “Well, I’m just burning with shame byyour kindness,” but it does affect them in apositive way.

Booker T. Washington, a greatAmerican gentleman, once said, “I will notallow any man to make me lower myselfby hating him. The only way I can destroymy enemy is to make him my friend.”

Dobbs is senior pastor at Grace Churchin Eden Prairie.

Bloomington man whoclaimed kidnappingfaces misdemeanorBY MIKE HANKS • SUN NEWSPAPERS

It took a SWAT team to arrest anEden Prairie man suspected of kidnap-ping in April, but it’s the Bloomingtonman who made the claim that is facingcriminal prosecution.

The suspect, a 47-year-oldBloomington man, has been chargedwith one misdemeanor count of falselyreporting a crime. Bloomington Policewere dispatched to the defendant’s res-idence in the early morning hours ofApril 21, in response to a reportedassault involving a gun, according tothe criminal complaint.

The defendant told police that heanswered his door at approximately 2a.m., thinking it was his neighbor.Instead the man at the door was his ex-boyfriend, with whom he had recently

ended a long-term relationship, andhad an order for protection against, thecomplaint said.

The defendant said his ex-boyfriendforced him to leave his Bloomingtonresidence by vehicle, but he escaped inMinneapolis by biting his ex-boyfriendand running from the vehicle to a near-by gas station and calling 911.

His alleged captor was a 47-year-oldEden Prairie man. Bloomington policecontacted Eden Prairie police atapproximately 3:40 a.m.

Police went to the man’s EdenPrairie residence, but he refused tocome out of his home. The EdenPrairie SWAT team formed a perimeteraround the house and a negotiator wascalled to the scene. After a standoff, the

negotiator was able to talk the suspectout of his home without incident, andhe was taken into custody about 9:45a.m.

The Eden Prairie man was trans-ported to Bloomington and booked onsuspicion of kidnapping and assault,but released later that day withoutbeing charged. He told police a very dif-ferent story about the events that tran-spired prior to his arrest, according to

the complaint.The Eden Prairie man said that he

had been at the defendant’s apartmentbuilding during the evening of April21, looking for another friend. Heinstead encountered the defendant andhis female neighbor, the complaintsaid.

The trio went to a liquor store forliquor and cigarettes, returned to theapartment building and went to thewoman’s apartment to drink and playcards. The defendant then asked theEden Prairie man to drive him toBrooklyn Park, which he did, accord-ing to the complaint.

Upon returning to Bloomington themen stopped at a Walgreens. The EdenPrairie man went into the store alone.During that time a Bloomington policeofficer pulled into the parking lot.Upon returning to the car, the EdenPrairie man, who had been drinking,asked the defendant to drive, the com-plaint noted.

The defendant drove the vehicle, butheaded to Minneapolis rather than hisBloomington apartment. The EdenPrairie man told the defendant to stopthe vehicle and get out at a gas station,which he did, the complaint said.

An investigator determined through

surveillance video from the apartmentbuilding and the Walgreens that theEden Prairie man’s story was true,according to the complaint. Furtherinvestigation determined that thewoman was told by the defendant to lieabout the three of them being together.

An order for protection had neverbeen served upon the Eden Prairieman, the complaint noted.

If convicted the man faces up to 90days in jail and a fine of up to $3,000.

Funny because it’s partly true.Tibebu, who was 16 years old when

she first started the group, said 40 mil-lion Americans suffer from a mentalhealth issue at least once during theyear, and one in five teens have a men-tal health disor-der that distractsthem.

That preva-lence and herown experiencewith anxietywere the genesisof Anxiety InTeens, whichbegan as a“dinky” website,she said.

“Getting creative was my solutionfor getting things done,” she said.

In 2009, during her freshmen year atthe University of St. Thomas in St.

Paul, she called a web design firm andtold them she would work for free ifthey would help her create a websitefor Anxiety in Teens.

The firm was Rocket 55 in St. Paul.“Solome is an amazing girl,” said

Stephen Ayres, who got the call.“She’s, you know, she called me, musthave been three years ago now, andsaid ‘I love your website. I love whatyou’re company does, could I come

He didn’t lether work for free.He hired her.

we do want some of that, but we wantsome that are done by the homeowner andthere’s a lot of character to it,” Myerssaid.

A new stop this year will be theBrumback family garden, located in theirbackyard on Candlewood Parkway.

“It’s nice to participate in a communityevent, especially for a good group likethem,” Clare Brumback said.

She and her husband John Brumbackhad made stops at previous garden tours,and last year a neighbor’s garden was oneof them. The proverbial seed was planted,and the Brumback family signed up for thetour this year.

They started the now show-worthy gar-den in 1998, approximately six years afterthey moved in, they said.

“There was nothing here when we gothere,” Clare Brumback said.

Well, garden-wise there was nothing.The backyard actually had a lot of play-ground equipment. It also had a triangleshape to it, they said.

John and Clare Brumback have created an at-home getaway, a porch and garden where they canrelax at the end of the week. Their home will be one of six in the Eden Prairie Lioness Club’s 11thAnnual Garden Tour, scheduled July 17. (Photo by Paul Groessel • Sun Newspapers)

The geraniums in the Brumback family’s backyardgarden is named after John and Clare Brumback’schildren, Jack and Julia named. The purple flow-ers were named “Jack Mani Superb” and red werenamed, “Madam Julia.” (Photo by Paul Groessel• Sun Newspapers)

But, that triangular boundary has beenrounded off by the well-manicured gardenspace that lines and fills the property line.It offers a lot of shade, too.

The garden features a lot of personaltouches – heirlooms and hand-me-downsfrom friends and family, Clare Brumbacksaid, from dog lilies from family livingnear the Mississippi River, to lilies fromthe north shore of Lake Superior and anupcoming request for hostas from a neigh-bor’s garden.

They have plum and apple trees, andgeraniums their children Jack and Julianamed. The purple flowers were coined“Jack Mani Superb” and red were tagged,“Madam Julia.”

“It’s a garden for fun. We’re not profes-sional landscapers,” Clare Brumbacksaid. “It’s just a fun place for us to be withour family.”

Tickets to see the Brumback garden andthe others on the tour are $10. They areavailable at Kowalski’s Market, 16500 W.78th St., Eden Prairie. Tickets are also avail-able at the homes featured on the tour.

All proceeds go toward the Lioness club,which is an all-volunteer organization.

after a couple months with the company,they created a website for her.

That once dinky website is now awell-crafted resource for those facinganxiety issues. Some of the things onthe website include stories and columns,pages of anxiety information, tips, ananxiety disorder quiz and there is even a“Fast Help” page to help people whilethey’re experiencing a panic attack.

Like the disclaimer at the bottom ofthe website, Tibebu said the site does notoffer medical advice, treatment or diag-nose conditions. The site is for peopleand teens who are looking for a place toshare their experiences, anonymously ifthey wish, and get support.

Now 21 years old and a junior at St.Thomas with a entrepreneurship major,Tibebu is a little busy, running the non-profit, overseeing college peers whowork as interns, taking college coursesand sometimes speaking at schools anddifferent groups. Not to mention, she’s

developing a new software program, istraining for the Twin Cities Marathonand works for Rocket 55 here and thereas a freelancer.

And, there’s this 5k-event coming upin July. That has taken some planning.

She, with some help from interns, hasbeen planning the inaugural “OutRunAnxiety Event,” a 5k run or walk inEden Prairie to raise funds and aware-ness about teen anxiety.

The event has been scheduled 9 a.m.,Sunday, July 17, at Purgatory CreekPark, 13001 Technology Drive.

“She has a really intense amount ofempathy for someone her age,” Ayressaid.

After going through a painful timewith her own anxiety, she took it uponherself to start a nonprofit, learn newskills and put in work to help others.

“To me, I think shows a lot of maturi-ty for someone her age,” Ayres said.

Tibebu said her anxiety came on sud-denly, while in middle school.

“I can remember the day that theonset of the anxiety disorder was trig-gered,” she said. “I’m not sure of coursewhat needed to happen to lead up to that.But I remember one stormy night, ofcourse.”

She was in seventh grade, and up tothat point never had anxiety problems.

During what became a stormy night,she decided to clean the entire houseand then cook dinner for her parents. By7 or 8 p.m., she had everything set up.The food was just about ready; the can-dles were lit, but her mom hadn’t comehome, yet.

When it hit 10 p.m., she asked her dad,“Hey, where’s mom?”

Maybe it was the way her fatherresponded, the face he made when hesaid, “’Solome, I don’t know,’” she said.

She went upstairs to her room, feel-ing so warm she had to take her sweateroff. Then, she got the chills and had toput it back on. That was the onset of herpanic attack. Shortly after it began, sheheard her mother walk in the door, ask-ing if anyone was home, exclaiming howclean the house was and how bad she feltfor dinner being ready and cold.

That was the beginning of anxietyproblems that she ultimately learned tocope with, manage and draw from whileshe diligently helps others.

Such diligence has been recognized.She has received awards, and she’s beennamed a semifinalist in the student cate-gory of the Minnesota Cup, the largestbusiness competition in the state. Thatrecognition is for a different startup ofhers, a website software program thatshe hopes will be useful in counselingoffices and in private-practice therapy.

Winning the grand prize in the stu-dent category, $10,000, would help go along way toward meeting that goal.

Eden Prairie in June by helping the Eaglesreach the state Class 3A tournament forthe third consecutive season. Eden Prairiewon the state title during his junior sea-son.

2 title and sixth-place finish at state.Those high school accomplishments

earned Skjefte a baseball scholarship atthe University of Minnesota. He is eagerfor the challenge of competing in DivisionI.

“I’m really excited to be able to play forthe Gophers,” said Skjefte. “I have followedGopher baseball closely growing up andattended many of their games.

“I know I will have to keep improvingmy skills. But I am looking forward to theopportunity of being a Gopher.”

Eden Prairie head baseball coach MikeHalloran knows what it takes to be success-ful in college baseball. After graduatingfrom Edina High School, Halloran went on

to become the Gophers’ starting catcherand earned All-Big Ten Conference hon-ors.

“Second base is probably Tony’s bestcollege position,” said Halloran. “But weneeded him to play short this past seasonand he did a great job.

“Tony didn’t get many good pitches tohit this season because of his past battingefforts. But he was still one of our best hit-ters and one of the best all-around playersin the state during the last three seasons.

“Tony stepped right in as a sophomorestarter and batted third for us. He playedgreat since and is a game changer,” addedthe Eagle coach.

All-star experienceHalloran had one last opportunity to

coach Skjefte. He was one of the MetroWest coaches in the Minnesota Lions All-Star Baseball Tournament June 24-25 atChanhassen High School.

The Metro West squad won the titlewith a 5-4 victory over Metro East in thechampionship game. Metro West defeatedNorth 3-2 and lost 5-2 to South in the othertwo tourney games.

Skjefte was joined by former Eagleteammates Lance Thonvold, Adam Brayand Tyler Ruemmele in the all-star series.

“Playing in the all-star tournament wasone of my best high school experiences,”said Skjefte. “I had a chance to meet andplay against the best high school playersfrom around the state.

“I played in all three tournamentgames. I was used in the outfield one gamebefore playing the final two games at sec-ond. I hit the ball all over the field but thoseballs couldn’t seem to find a hole.”

Skjefte has been pummeling the ball asa member of the Eden Prairie AmericanLegion baseball team this summer.

Skjefte homered in each of the firstthree games of the Rapid City Firecracker

Legion Tournament over the July 4 week-end.

Skjefte had three hits and four RBI dur-ing Eden Prairie’s 15-4 first-round victoryover Coon Rapids June 29. He added twohits in a 15-8 loss to Boulder (Colo.) laterthat day.

The Eden Prairie slugger had threemore hits and two RBI during a 13-5 third-round victory over Colchester (Vt.) June30. (Final tournament results and high-lights were not available as this issue wentto press.)

Skjefte has also displayed his strengthon the wrestling mat. He wrestled at 145pounds for the Eagles during a senior sea-son that was cut short by a shoulder injury.

But he was a sixth-place state finishertwice in his four-year wrestling career.

Skjefte doesn’t plan to give wrestling ashot in college. He will be busy trying toland a starting position on the Gopherbaseball team.

EP 6-year-old records hole-in-onePranay Singh also winsPepsi Little People GolfChampionship agegroup titleBY GREG KLEVEN • SUN NEWSPAPERS

Recording a hole in one is a lifetimedream that most golfers never realize.

However, Eden Prairie golfer PranaySingh managed to achieve his ace whilestill young, very young.

Singh, a 6-year-old, shot his first holein one on the 90-yard seventh hole atWaters Edge Golf Course June 16 inShakopee.

Singh just completed kindergarten buthas already earned impressive golf hon-ors in a sport he is passionate about.

Singh competed against 6- and 7-year-olds at the Pepsi Little PeopleChampionships June 21-22 in Quincy, Ill.Competition took place on a par-33course.

Singh finished first out of 30 competi-tors in the Boys 2B Division. He shot a 5-under-par 61 with rounds of 30 and 31.

Singh concluded the tournament instyle, chipping in a birdie from 15 yardson the final hole. He won his division byfour strokes. Last year, Singh placed 21stin the same tournament.

Former competitors in the Pepsi LittlePeople Championships include 2011 U.S.Open champion Rory McIlroy.

“Pranay wants to golf every day,” saidhis father, Vivek Kumar. “I come home

from work and he meets me on the frontlawn with his clubs so I can take him golf-ing.

“I love to go out with him and watchhim improve day by day. I caddy for himin most tournaments, but it is a big chal-lenge for me to give him the proper club

because his shot distances are changingevery month.”

Singh, who will be a first-grader atEden Lake Elementary this fall, enjoysgolf but has one phase of the game helikes more than others.

“Putting is OK but driving the ball iswhat I enjoy most, ” he said.

Singh is already beating his father andbrother Parichay, a 13-year-old. He isencouraging his mother, Richa Singh, toplay golf and is eager to offer golf tips,according to his father.

Pranay has a busy golf scheduleplanned this summer. He will play in theSan Diego Junior Masters tournamentJuly 7-8 and the Junior WorldChampionships in the 6-and-under agegroup July 12-14 in San Diego.

Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelsonplayed in the Junior WorldChampionships growing up. Singh fin-ished 21st in his age group a year ago inthat tournament.

Singh plans to also participate in theU.S. Kids World Championships Aug. 4-6in Pinehurst, N.C.

Singh plays regularly at Waters Edge, apar-30 executive course located atStonebrooke Golf Club.

“Pranay has been playing golf since hestarted walking, “ said his father. “Hewould hit plastic balls in the basement allday.

“By age 2, he was making good contactwith the ball and I started taking him tothe driving range when he was 3.”

His passions outside golf includechess, basketball and, of course, videogames.

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.
