New Burnsville trailer business targetedtoward recreational enthusiastsRollerblade inventorsnow marketing newlightweight trailersBY MICHAEL RICCI • SUN NEWSPAPERS

Three decades ago, they intro-duced Rollerblades. Today, Toddand Brennan Olson are blazing anew trail that still involves wheels,but no wrist guards or pads.

The Bloomington brothers

recently unveiled their latest cre-ation – a lightweight space-saving,multi-use trailer for those interest-ed in outdoor recreational activi-ties.

SPACE Trailers is located at1141 Riverwood Drive, Burnsville.The Olsons formed an LLC in 2010,and then brought their trailer tomarket earlier this year.

Prior to the NorthwestSportshow in April, the Olsonsshared their idea with family andfriends. Still, they were a little

nervous about reaction their trail-er idea would receive.

“Actually, it was very positive,”Todd said. “One of the radio showguys, Tim Lesmeister, picked it ashis favorite item [at the NorthwestSportshow].”

Lesmeister is a freelance out-door writer and photographer, anda radio and television host. He iscurrently a columnist for OutdoorNews and a guest radio host for

Elected councilmember Coughlin‘privileged’ toserve BV citizensBY MICHAEL RICCISUN NEWSPAPERS

Close to four monthsafter the passing of long-time Burnsville CityCouncil member CharlieCrichton, the councilagain has a full quorum.

“It will be a privilegeand honor to serve the citi-zens of Burnsville,” saidBill Coughlin, the coun-cil’s newest member.Coughlin defeated eightother candidates inBurnsville’s special elec-tion July 26 by receivingmore than 1,700 votes,accounting for 58 percentof all votes cast. Tom

Hanson followed Coughlinby receiving more than 600votes in his election bid.

Based on these figures,it may appear thatCoughlin walked awaywith an election victoryfrom the beginning.Instead, it was in thebeginning that he literallydid a lot of walking. All ofthis, combined with hiseagerness to file for candi-dacy, helped him duringhis campaign, he said.

“I filed at 9 a.m. the firstday,” Coughlin said. “I wasthe second person to file.”

In the weeks leading tothe special election,Coughlin hit the campaigntrail nearly every day ofeach week. In the past fiveweeks, Coughlin said hewas door knocking six ofseven days. In the twoweeks prior to theseweeks, Coughlin said hewas door knocking allseven days.

He met with a city offi-cial to better understandthe budgeting process andalso met with Tom Taylor,Crichton’s campaign man-ager for the past six years.

Lakeville launches effort to market itself to businessesCouncil votes to createeconomic developmentstrategy BY MICHAEL RICCI • SUN NEWSPAPERS

As Lakeville city officials look atincreasing economic development, thecity council recently voted to approve aneffort to ensure that businesses occupyvacant but available real estate.

Members of the Lakeville CityCouncil voted unanimously July 18 toenter into a contract with ArnettMuldrow and Associates to develop thecity’s marketing strategy for businesses.The firm, based in Greenville, S.C., spe-cializes in community branding, retailmarket analysis, downtown master plan-ning, and historic preservation.

Dave Olson, community and economicdevelopment director for Lakeville, saidthe city is looking to send a clear messageto potential businesses.

“What we embarked on is a goal thatLakeville made for itself,” he said. “Ourgoal is to create marketing plan that hasa clear message and is flexible and ade-

quately funded.”The price tag of $30,000 to hire the

firm will be funded through a federalcommunity development block grant,which means no use of local tax dollars,according to Olson.

With regard to the advantages ofdoing business in Lakeville, Olson saidthe city wants to “get the word out andbe more active and aggressive in market-ing the advantages and benefits ofLakeville as a place to locate a busi-ness.”

As examples, Olson cited the city’sproximity to the Interstate 35 corridorand the airport. He also cited Lakeville’spopulation of approximately 55,000, andits industrial park, which is one of thelargest in the state.

Despite what Lakeville has to offer,competition still remains. Olson saidthere simply aren’t as many projects outthere as there used to be.

“When a company does come alongand is interested in building a facility,quite honestly there’s quite a bit of com-petition for that,” Olson said. “We’recompeting with other cities for the sametypes of businesses, so we want to be ableto distinguish Lakeville as a viable anddesirable place to locate their business.”

The concept of a city marketing itselfto businesses is not new as the cities ofElk River, Woodbury and Faribault arethree for which officials have activelymarketed toward potential business,Olson said.

Peter Waldock, Faribault communitydevelopment director, said his city hasbeen involved in such actions for adecade and a half.

“We have a long track record of put-ting together marketing programs,” hesaid. “I believe the last one…was done inthe mid-‘90s, almost 15 years ago.”

Waldock added that when officialsprepared the marketing brochure, theyincluded information about the qualityof life in Faribault for families interest-ed in moving to the area and for indus-tries interested in setting up shop. As anexample, Waldock said if a distributioncenter wished to relocate to Faribault,company officials would want to knowcertain information about the city, infor-mation pertinent to their business.

Waldock said that the bottom line isto secure business growth to increasethe tax base and provide more jobs forresidents of communities.

In correspondence submitted byArnett to Lakeville as part of its pro-

posed service agreement, which Olsonresented to the Lakeville council at itsJuly 18 meeting, the firm listed five keygoals of the marketing strategy “thatinclude recruitment, retention, marketdifferentiation, positive image for inter-nal pride and external recognition, anda partnership strategy for implementa-tion.”

Also in the document, Arnett identi-fied Lakeville’s “brand” and raised thequestion whether or not it is sufficientfor the firm’s overall goal.

“The…website identifies the city asthe ‘southern gateway to the TwinCities,’” it read. “While this messagemay be accurate, it implies thatLakeville is a place to pass through onthe way to your ‘actual’ destination:Minneapolis-St. Paul.”

“Is that something we want to contin-ue to use, or is there something thatmight be more appropriate, maybe moreeffective to use?” Olson asked rhetorical-ly, adding it was an issue for furtherreview.

Following a visit by Arnett represen-tatives, along with the appointment of asteering committee, the firm is likely tobegin in September and finish its analy-sis in October.

Coughlin also received endorsementsfrom the Burnsville Chamber ofCommerce and Crichton’s two mostrecent campaign chairs, Taylor and BobAlpers. According to Coughlin, the entireprocess was a little more than he expect-ed.

“I found it to be a reasonably steeplearning curve,” he said.

The soon-to-be council member was,however, quick to comment about oneparticularly memorable moment duringhis campaign. With about 10 days remain-ing before the election, Coughlin receiveda call from Crichton’s widow, Terry.

“She invited me to place a sign in heryard,” he said. “To me, it was a great com-pliment.”

Coughlin added that he was able to getto know her and more about whatCrichton did when not officially seated atthe council table.

“Over the years, if he was invited to ahigh school graduation, birthday, funeral,he would go,” he said. “I can tell why peo-ple revered him. He was an all-ends sort ofguy.”

Coughlin continued by saying thatCrichton felt honored to attend thoseevents and be in people’s lives.

“I kind of hope that I have the opportu-nity to do the same things,” he said.

With the election over, Coughlin islooking forward to the future as aBurnsville city council member, much inthe same vein as his predecessor.

“Similar to Charlie, I look at each issuewith a conservative fiscal philosophy,” hesaid. “The rest is the evidence and factswithin the scope of that point of view.”

As an example of his pro-businesspoint of view, Coughlin referenced a 3-1vote by the city council to modify a sig-nage variance for Best Buy. The varianceapplication requested to lease spaceimmediately facing Interstate-35W.According to Coughlin, the issue involvedspecial circumstances that the councilrecognized.

“It was absolutely the right vote,” hesaid, adding it is the kind of positive mes-sage for business in Burnsville.

In reference to his support of a zero-percent tax increase for 2012, Coughlinsaid, “I still stand behind that.”

Coughlin believes this is possiblebased on his research, including meet-ings with two sitting council members,reviewing the 2011 budget, reviewingcouncil and workshop minutes, and meet-ing with the deputy city manager.

Coughlin will serve three-and-a-halfyears of Crichton’s term, which expiresat the end of 2014.

Bad choices harm more than the chooserEvery weekend, one member

of the Sun NewspapersEditorial Staff must pull“Weekend Warrior” duty andwork each Saturday andSunday.

Essentially, one of us is oncall to report on any breakingnews happening throughoutour entire coverage area and toget those stories posted on ourwebsite.

A few weekends ago, it wasmy turn. Being relatively newto the Sun, the July 9-10 week-end was my first “WeekendWarrior” assignment. I hadpolled a select number of myco-workers on what to expectover the weekend and what wasexpected of me. The consensuswas something along the linesof, “Do what you can. You can’tmake the news.”

Armed with that profoundadvice, I plunged into the week-end wide-eyed and ready foranything. What occurred thenext two days still leaves meshocked.

The first story that crossedmy path was the July 8 murderof a Mankato woman. The nextday, a Golden Valley man was

arrested in his home and even-tually charged in the killingwith second-degree murder.The man had stabbed thiswoman to death and dumpedher body in broad daylight at2:30 p.m. near an intersection.

Being in the news industry,murder stories come across mypath semi-regularly. But theyalways resonate, especiallywhen I cover them.

The second story I cameacross was the death of aLakeville man who crashed hisplane 30 miles northwest ofRochester early Saturdaymorning. Not many detailswere provided by the GoodhueCounty Sheriff ’s office. All Ican do is feel for this man andhis family.

I woke up Sunday morninghoping for a less violent newsday. I would have been morethan happy covering a way-

ward pet pigeon that mean-dered into someone’s lawn orbeen pleased taking a photo ofcows causing a traffic jam on arural road.

Instead, the first email inmy inbox that morning wasbeyond grim. My senior man-aging editor e-mailed me a tipabout a fatal accident thatoccurred in Maple Grove earlySunday morning. He hadn’tseen a print or online storyabout the accident, but saw itreported on a local metro TVstation.

For three hours, I scouredthe metro websites for anyinformation regarding theaccident. I began to hope theaccident didn’t occur – that theTV station incorrectly report-ed an accident as fatal.Unfortunately, a refresh on awebsite yielded the story Ihoped wasn’t a story.

A male driver pulled overfor allegedly drunk drivingsped away from the lawenforcement officer whopulled him over. According toauthorities, he fled north-bound on County Road 81.When he reached the intersec-

tion with 93rd Avenue in MapleGrove, he ran the red light andhis car broadsided a vehicledriven by a woman. Both driv-ers were killed instantly.

Two out of these three sto-ries involved deaths that couldhave been avoided. I didn’thave many details regardingthe plane crash, but the stab-bing murder and car crashwere needless acts of selfish-ness, bad judgment, and ulti-mately – disregard for humanlife.

If you’re pulled over for anyreason, take your lumps andface the consequences. Fleeingfrom a law enforcement officerearly in the morning – even ifsober – can only end badly.

The murder leaves meastounded. What can you sayto people who may have madeup their mind to take some-one’s life? A simple plea, like“Don’t do it – think of the con-sequences,” may not be suffi-cient.

In the end, we need to ownour bad decisions and poorjudgments before they end upowning us, and worse, costinnocent people their lives.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Just dissapointedTo the editor:

I have lived in Lakeville forthe past 39 years, and havealways been proud of our com-munity spirit and involvement.

However, I was embarrassedto see the pitiful turnout atLakeville’s Relay for Life onFriday, July 22. It is an opportu-nity to honor those who havelost their battle with cancerand to support those still fight-ing. There were 18 survivorsregistered and less than 200people in attendance. In a com-

munity the size of ours, wherewe turn out in large numbersfor parades and sportingevents, couldn’t we do the samefor our cancer survivors andthose still struggling with thedisease.

I felt sad for the many volun-teers who had worked manyhours to put this event together.My thanks to all who spon-sored, donated, attended orworked on the relay. Can westrive to do better next year?

Outdoor News Radio.The idea for the Olson’s new creation

really took hold about two years ago dur-ing a trip to Ely.

“I was up north a couple of years agowith my friends, my 115-pound dog and aVolkswagen Passat,” Todd said. “Whenthe trunk wouldn’t close, a light went onin my head.”

This light shined brightly enough forTodd to think to himself, “What does afamily of four and a dog do unless theydrive a large SUV? Leave the dog or skisbehind? No way.”

Brennan, meanwhile, possessed aslightly different motivation. As an avidhunter and fisherman, he thought moreabout its design.

“The traditional utility trailers werenever really an option. They were allbulky, heavy, and frankly, ugly,” he said.

According to Brennan, when he andTodd developed their trailers, they real-ized that they needed to be functionalwith a cutting-edge look.

“It had to appeal to the hunter drivinga truck and the family with a Subaru,”Brennan said.

The trailer, Todd said, is one-size-fits-all, but added that this does not detractfrom its versatility. Citing its light-weight and aerodynamic design, alongwith its removable canopy, Toddreferred to the design as the “Swiss

Army knife” of trailers.Although they are marketing it as a

sports trailer, Todd indicated that theremovable top allows it to serve morepurposes than just hauling an all-ter-rain vehicle. It could also haul wood inits 49-inch bed or something large appli-ance like a refrigerator.

In addition to selling their trailerssince May, the Olsons rent them as well,which started in 2010 after nearly a yearof testing. To fulfill this endeavor, theOlsons used Craigslist to post an ad forvolunteers to use the trailer and reportfeedback.

Joya Hill of Bloomington was one ofthose who took advantage of the oppor-tunity for 15 days as she and her hus-band enjoy camping, hiking, biking andkayaking. The Hills used a trailer on atrip to the Black Hills in June and for acamping trip in northern Minnesota inJuly.

“It’s really a great design,” Joya said.“There is really nothing out there thatmatches it.”

She continued by saying that thetrailer is compact, easy to tow and iscapable of keeping all of their gear dry.Joya also said she liked the trailer for itsability to transport bicycles on its topwith a rack.

But Joya indicated that it has otherfunctions, as the Olsons had intended.

“You can take the lid off, and my hus-band can haul plywood,” she said. “It’svery versatile in its design.”

According to Todd, “Our trailers canhaul up to a half-ton of fun.”

Ansari’s Mediterranean Grill & Loungetruly is a family business.

The Eagan restaurant recently re-opened after it started on fire more thanfive months ago. Brothers David andRamsey Ansari run the restaurant, andother family members work as a bus boy,host, chef server and help behind the bar.Their father Pasha, former co-owner ofthe Mediterranean Cruise Café in Eagan,works full-time as the daytime manager.

But it’s a wonder they’re still in busi-ness. The fire was the latest challengesince the family first opened the restau-rant on New Year’s Eve 2008. David andRamsey’s mother, Mary, had numeroushealth issues spring up at once less than ayear after the restaurant opened.

A stroke, staf infection and subsequentheart valve replacement surgery in late2009 left Mary Ansari, now 58, in the hospi-tal for four months.

“It was heartbreaking,” said ThereseJohnson, an Ansari’s bar manager whohas worked 12 years for the family. “Shewas pretty much on her death bed.”

Mary Ansari served tables at therestaurant before her health complica-tions, and since her recovery, she has been

hosting there part-time.“She’s doing fantastic,” Johnson said.Half a year later, Johnson received her

own bad news. On the way to a Twinsgame last summer, she felt a pain in herlower abdomen. The next day, she came towork, still complaining about the pain shefelt. Ramsey told her to see a doctor. Thediagnosis: ovarian cancer.

“It was stage four,” Johnson said. “Itwas pretty heavy duty. I had 18 chemos in arow.”

Johnson is nearly currently cancer-free.

“I am doing OK,” Johnson said. “I stillhave one more chemo left and I think I’mkicking this. There’s no cancer anywhereelse in my body.”

Family friend Ryan Britton is amazedat the resiliency of both Mary Ansari andJohnson.

“Those two women are two of thestrongest women I’ve met in my entirelife,” said Britton said. “Mary is like a sec-ond Mom [to me].”

To top it off, on one of last winter’s cold-est days, a fire started at 5 a.m. Feb. 9 in therestaurant.

Firefighters told the brothers that a

Firefighters were on the scene after extinguishing a fire at Ansari’s Mediterranean Grill and Lounge onFeb. 9. The fire began at 5 a.m. and took two hours and firefighters from five fire departments to extin-guish. Ansari’s re-opened on July 11 nearly five months to the day that the fire occurred. Restaurantemployees and friends worked for two months to restore and repair the restaurant. (Photo by JosephPalmersheim • Sun Newspapers)ANSARI’S: TO NEXT PAGE

malfunction in the roof ’s heating unitcaused it to start on fire. The heatingunit then collapsed partially throughone of the bathroom ceilings.

“Once the fire started, you could seethe sky through the roof,” Britton said.

The fire damaged the roof and ceil-ings, and smoke seeped through thewhole restaurant, ruining nearly all itscontents.

“Everything inside was pretty muchreplaced except for the bar,” said DavidAnsari, 32.

This bar has quite a history. It was theoriginal bar at the Leamington Hotel inMinneapolis dating back to the early1900s, said Ramsey Ansari. The bar hasinitials carved underneath it dated asearly as 1906.

“The hotel was torn down in the 90sand we found it in a storage warehousein 2008,” said Ramsey Ansari, 30. “Wepurchased it and brought it back to life.”

David Ansari said the brothers con-sidered not re-opening since they onlyhad insurance to cover the contents oftheir restaurant.

With the help of about 15 employees,the family began working on repairingthe restaurant one and a half monthsafter the fire started, David Ramsey said.

The restaurant recently re-opened onJuly 11, nearly five months to the dayafter the fire, David Ansari said.

Ramsey Ansari is thankful for all whohelped restore the restaurant, especiallyRyan Britton.

“He did so much work,” RamseyAnsari said of Britton, who replaced allthe tiles, carpeting and helped paint theinterior. “We couldn’t have done it with-out him.”

Britton said watching Johnson andMary Ansari battle through their healthproblems gave a spark to those whohelped renovate the restaurant.

“It definitely helped motivate everyone else to get this done,” said Britton,owner of Britton Tile in Eagan.

The renovations included building ahigher ceiling, adding VIP booths to thedining area, new tables, new woodwork,adding 15 feet to the bar and expandingthe outdoor patio area.

“We now have one of the biggestpatios in Eagan,” Ramsey Ansari said.

The Ansaris have a special bond withtheir customers and their city. Johnsonhas seen this connection help stabilizeand support them through all they’veexperienced.

“We have such loyal customers andloyal friends,” Johnson said. “That’swhat’s carried us through all of this.

“We did it together,” said DavidAnsari of the restaurant re-opening. “It

was a team effort and we got it done.”And that seems to be a theme with

Ansaris – doing things together.Pasha Ansari helped open the

Mediterranean Cruise Cafe in 1979 inEagan. After an eminent domain casecondemned the building, an uncle relo-cated the restaurant to Burnsville in2008, Ramsey Ansari said.

David and Ramsey wanted to keep thefamily business going, but wanted tokeep it in Eagan. Both are Eagan HighSchool graduates.

“We wanted to stay in our home city,”said David Ansari.

“We’ve had our main clientele sincewe were little kids,” added RamseyAnsari. “We’re kind of like ‘Cheers.’ Ifyou come here, it’s like you becomefriends or family.”

The brothers are considering expand-ing their business and opening a fewmore restaurants in the Twin Citiesmetro area. They’re looking atMinneapolis, Woodbury andMinnetonka as potential spots.

But, plans for expansion would nothappen for at least a couple years, DavidAnsari said.

“We just re-opened,” he said. “Wewant to focus on that.”

“We’ve definitely had our bumps,”Ramsey Ansari said. “But, hopefully itwill be business as usual for awhile.”

AV youth amputee finds renewed spirit at Ohio campPaddy Rossbach campoffers activities, hopeBY MICHAEL RICCI • SUN NEWSPAPERS

Unlike the view expressed in AllanSherman’s song “Hello Muddah, HelloFadduh (A Letter from Camp),” oneApple Valley girl enjoyed her camp expe-rience so much that she never wanted toleave, and will be returning soon.

Sierra Younger, 15, will be amongmore than 100 youths attending theAmputee Coalition’s Paddy RossbachYouth Camp July 23-27 in Clarksville,Ohio. The five-day camp, for children 10-17, offers a range of activities thatinclude fishing, swimming, canoeing,basketball, archery and more.

The camp takes place at the JoyOutdoor Education Center betweenCincinnati and Columbus, Ohio. Allexpense and airfare are covered for thecampers. The camp is designed toinspire campers to take new challenges,be independent, test themselves andbuild new friendships.

According to Sierra’s mother, Shelley

Younger, her daughter is technically notan amputee but nevertheless qualifiesfor the camp.

“She was born without her femur, soshe had surgery when she was 4-years-old,” Shelley said. “When she was bornit was shocking, but I didn’t care. Shewas beautiful.”

But for a young girl growing into heradolescent years, this fact was of littlecomfort. For years Sierra lived life withan entirely different outlook, especiallya feeling of self-consciousness regard-ing her appearance.

“I have been ever since I can remem-ber,” Sierra said. “For years it felt like Iwas the only one who had this.”

Before attending the camp for thefirst time, Shelley said that Sierra hadlow self-esteem and was sad often, inaddition to enduring the realities of feel-ing “different” in a school environment.

“She was ashamed of having a pros-thetic,” Shelley said.

Upon Sierra’s arrival to Ohio lastyear and seeing so many other youths inher situation, her attitude began tochange almost right away.

“When I got off the plane, I saw a lot

of people with similar [conditions],” theEastview High School student said. “Itwas comforting that I wasn’t alone anddid not have to fight this battle bymyself.”

According to Shelley, Sierra felt morecomfortable while she was at the campand that the many youths and coun-cilors truly cared about her daughter.

One person in particular that Sierratook a special liking to was BiancaKajlich of the CBS TV show “Rules ofEngagement.”

“She was an amazing teacher,” Sierrasaid. “She really connected with us, andshe was there if we needed to talk.”

Sierra attended the camp last yearand said that in addition to all of the funand exciting activities, she is especiallylooking forward to seeing many peoplewith whom she became very closefriends.

To Sierra’s slight dismay, however,several youths who attended the camplast year will not be able to attend thisyear due to their age.

“I feel bad for the people who are 18and can’t come back again,” Sierra said.

Despite her sadness, the soon-to-be 16-

year-old is very excited about this year’scamp and taking part in activities thatshe did not last year.

“Camp was an amazing experience,and I can’t wait to experience theupcoming years,” she said. “I base mywhole year off it.”

In the time since returning fromcamp last year until the present, Shelleycommented on the other ways she hasseen her daughter’s attitude and outlookchange for the better.

“She was not a good student. Shehated school,” Shelley said. “After camp,she started her freshman year [andearned] a 3.4 grade point average. Shemade the junior varsity golf team andjust excelled.”

Sierra herself commented on herrenewed outlook on life.

“When I got back I really didn’t carewhat people thought about it,” she said.“I can’t change it, so I might as wellembrace it.”

Sierra added that she wished everyyoung person with a disability and whofeels the way she used to could experi-ence the same sense of belonging andacceptance.

Minnesota Zoo visitors of all ages cando the waddle as they greet the recentlyopened 3M Penguins of the African Coastexhibit.

Built as part of the ongoing “Heart ofthe Zoo” renovations, the Minnesota Zoo’sfirst penguin exhibit is stationed near theentrance. These renovations, started lastfall, also include an updated entrance, aTarget-sponsored learning center andfuture rooms better suited to view ani-mals.

With the 18 new penguins leaping in thewater and tapping against the glass, learn-ing has rarely made such a splash.

“It was a great day when the public firstgot access and we got to see the kids climb-ing up on the rocks,” said avian specialistJimmy Pichner. “By midday, it’s so fullthat everyone’s pressed up against theglass.”

According to Pichner, the new penguinexhibit is unique in that it allows visitorsto get “nose-to-beak” with their wingedfriends. Large rocks are situated aroundthe glass tank for kids to climb up on andlearn firsthand about penguins. Designedto mirror the South African penguin-nest-ing habitat “Boulder Beach,” the recon-struction comes complete with a filtrationsystem geared toward keeping the tank ata cool 63 degrees during the humid sum-mer months.

For Pichner, it was worth every bit ofplanning.

“People can relate to penguins,”Pichner said. “They stand upright, andeven little kids are almost the same size.Every new animal is an opportunity tolearn.”

As the six-pound penguins speedthrough the water during feeding times(every day at 10am and 3pm), visitors learnfacts, features, and fears associated withthe “jackass penguins” – named for theirdonkey-like calls to each other. Like all 17species of penguins, the South Africanpenguins live in the SouthernHemisphere, “well away from Santa,”according to Pichner, and feed on smallfish. While most pieces of informationdescribes size, feeding habits and thebirds’ natural habitat in Southern Africa,the Minnesota Zoo also makes sure thatvisitors are equipped to help the now-endangered species.

With the zoo’s Seafood Watch pro-grams, visitors can keep track of ocean-friendly foods they eat to lessen the impactof commercial fishing. The fishing, alongwith a half-degree temperature rise in thesardine-filled currents have reduced thepenguin population from a sizable 1-1.5

million to 25,000 in the past century. TheMinnesota Zoo hopes that, with moreawareness and careful protection, thenumbers will rise and help regenerate thepopulation.

“Penguins do well in zoos, but we’re try-ing to help the population in the wild aswell,” Pichner said. “We just want to makesure that our visitors aren’t the ones nega-tively affecting the penguins’ natural habi-tats.”

In the exhibit, children hold up stuffedpenguins to the glass, where the swim-ming birds flit around in curiosity. Duringfeeding time, zookeepers feed the penguinsone at a time, fish by fish. The visitors getto see every moment.

“It’s lots of fun to see them, especiallyfor the kids,” said zoo visitor MarianneVanoverbeck. “[My grand-daughter] isable to sit right up there next to them.That’s very special.”

With all the excitement around the pen-guins, the Minnesota Zoo feels encouragedto continue onto more new exhibits.

“We try to get a new exhibit in everyyear,” said Public Relations SpecialistKelly Lessard. “There’ll be a new BlackBear exhibit for the Minnesota Trail

approximately fall 2012. We look for-ward to seeing visitors’ reactions.”

Based on the penguins’ reception,visitor reactions look very encourag-ing for the Minnesota Zoo and all its

future projects. Until then, visitors ofall ages can come to the Minnesota Zooto enjoy a little piece of the wild with18 of their newest friends, feathers,flippers and all.

programs by virtue of how the corpscollaborates with schools, while thevolunteers do one-on-one tutoring.Volunteers would need to serve 15 to 20hours a week, a commitment requestbased on the stipend volunteersreceive.

“Because of the intensity of theservice, that’s usually 15 to 20 hours aweek, [and] can be three or four or fivedays,” Urbanski said. “We like to havethem there at least three days a week.”

Speaking about the choices that vol-unteers have, Urbanski said his organ-ization asks potential volunteers toreview a class schedule and select atime that allows the volunteers to bethere on a regular basis. As for theduration of a volunteer commitment,Urbanski said there is not set timelimit.

“Usually, it would last the schoolyear. We have volunteers who havebeen with the program for 15 or moreyears,” Urbanski said, emphasizing,“Usually the volunteers are workingwith students who are falling behindin their class or have special needs.”

Ralph Heath of Burnsville has been

volunteering for the past 17 years, acommitment that began in Mesa,Ariz., in 1995, Heath has worked withmore than 4,780 kids with algebra andgeometry. Heath spent his careerworking as an engineer, and duringthis time he taught statistics in theevening for eight years to people of allages.

Heath’s philosophy is simple, butfor one who has spent a lifetime work-ing with numbers, this should come asno surprise.

“If you reduce a problem to [num-bers], you can deal with it,” Heathsaid.

Based on his 17 years of experience,

MentorFROM PAGE 9

algebra and geometry are probably thehardest subjects for kids to learn. Butthis does not present itself as an obsta-cle to Heath.

“I like math, and I like kids,” hesaid. “The two go together reallywell.”

For the past five years, Heath haswalked from his home to MetcalfJunior High School at least twice aweek, during which time Heathworked with a blind boy.

“They have a woman who comes inwith him,” Heath said. “She sits thereand talks to him, and he has a Braillemachine.”

When asked if the children arereceptive to his assistance, Heathcombed through piles of yearbooksfrom all the schools at which Heathhas volunteered and revealed one inparticular from a young man namedTyler Schwake, who included a per-sonal note to Heath.

“Thank you for remembering mearound my graduation and for the nicecard and gift. It meant a lot to me,”Tyler wrote. “No other teacher hasimpacted me more than you do....Youare a very honorable man.”

According to Urbanski, Heath is atypical example of many seniors likehim who have been volunteering oneway or another their whole lives. Butas time passes, keeping volunteersbecomes more difficult.

“There is always a need,” Urbanskisaid. “We have constant turnoverbecause of age.”

In search of a good night’s sleep Insufficient sleep isserious problem formany adultsBY ROXI REJALI – CONTRIBUTING WRITER

A good night’s sleep was an impossi-ble dream for Deb Mohr.

For years, she was lucky to sleep twohours a night, sometimes waking upevery 10-15 minutes. She also sufferedfrom migraine headaches several timesa week.

“I’d get up in the morning and try todrive to work and I was as tired, as if Ihadn’t been to bed at all,” the Shakopeeresident said. “I was exhausted, justpure exhaustion and I didn’t know why.”

Mohr found an answer last yearwhen she was diagnosed with obstruc-tive sleep apnea at the Whitney SleepCenter, with locations in Burnsville andPlymouth. Patients with the conditioncaused by an obstructed airway can stopbreathing for up to a minute duringsleep.

Mohr’s symptoms improved dramati-cally after she began CPAP (continuous

positive airway pressure) therapy, witha machine delivering air pressurethrough a face mask placed over thenose. Although the face mask requiredsome adjustment, Mohr now sleeps sixhours a night, her migraines have beenreduced to one a month and she lost 50pounds. She’s also thrilled with theremission of her psoriatic arthritis, anautoimmune disorder that causes jointpain, stiffness and swelling.

“I’ve had a really positive outcome,incredibly positive for me,” she said. “Ibelieve it has a lot to do with the factthat I’m actually sleeping at least sixhours a night, if not more.”

Researchers aren’t sure why sleep isso necessary, but it plays a vital role inour ability to function in everyday life,said Dr. Michel Cramer Bornemann ofHennepin County Medical Center’sMinnesota Regional Sleep DisordersCenter in Minneapolis.

Most adults need at least eight hoursof sleep a day, but most Americans getmuch less, he said. Sleep deprivationcan affect quality of life and the abilityto perform on the job or to drive safely. Itcan even affect public safety, as reflectedin recent news reports about air trafficcontrollers sleeping on the job.

“The No. 1 condition is probablyinsufficient sleep, but people don’t rec-ognize it,” he said. “They just know

they’re very sleepy and they’re unableto maintain wakefulness during the dayand it’s compromising their work, it’scompromising their safety and it’s com-promising their relationship.”

A National Sleep Foundation pollreleased earlier this year found that 43percent of Americans ages 13-64 saythat they rarely or never get a goodnight’s sleep on weeknights. Sixty per-cent report that they experience a sleepproblem every night or almost everynight, including snoring or waking upduring the night, waking up too early orunrefreshed when they get up in themorning.

The report also found that 95 percentof respondents use electronic deviceslike TV, computers, cell phones or videogames an hour before going to bed.Those habits may contribute to the highproportion of respondents who report-ed that they routinely get less sleep thanthey need, the study concluded.

Whitney Sleep Center can evaluateand treat patients with a wide range ofsleep disorders including insomnia,restless legs syndrome and narcolepsy,but 80 percent have symptoms that sug-gest sleep apnea, said Megan Schultz,clinical director and respiratory thera-pist.

Symptoms can include snoring, gasp-ing or stopped breathing during sleep,nodding off while driving or problemswith mood, memory or concentration, shesaid. Untreated sleep apnea can lead tocongestive heart failure, stroke and highblood pressure.

Many people put off treatment becausethey assume that sleep problems are an

inevitable part of aging or modern life,Schultz said. “It just becomes your normand people just don’t realize a lot of times,they could feel better and they could sleepbetter with treatment,” she said.

Sleeplessness can hit anyone, at anystage of life.

Insomnia is one of the most commonsleep problems for children and adults,said Connie Ullevig, nurse at HennepinCounty Medical Center’s MinnesotaRegional Sleep Disorders Center inMinneapolis.

Many factors can cause patients tohave problems falling asleep or stayingasleep, but they can include pain, lifestressors like child-rearing, or medica-tions for hypertension and heart disease.

It’s a myth that sleep problemsinevitably accompany aging, she said.“We’ve always been led to believe, ‘I’m notsleeping well because I’m getting older,’”she said. “It’s not the age in and of itself,it’s other conditions that may be part ofaging, but may not.”

An important first step is evaluationand diagnosis so a treatment plan can betailored to the patient, Ullevig said.Treatment may include cognitive behav-ioral therapy, counseling about timing ofsleep or bedtime rituals and medicationwhen needed.

If you are having problems sleeping,

the following tips might improve yoursleep. Guidelines are adapted from theNational Sleep Foundation:

• Set and stick to a sleep schedule. Go tobed and wake up at the same time everyday.

• Exercise regularly. Avoid vigorousexercise close to bedtime if you are hav-ing problems sleeping.

• Establish a relaxing bedtime routine.Create a cool, comfortable sleeping envi-ronment. If TV, computers and cellphones are distractions, remove themfrom your bedroom.

• Keep a “worry book” next to yourbed. If worries keep you up at night, writethem down with an action plan, and for-get about them until morning.

• Avoid alcohol, caffeinated beverages,chocolate and tobacco at night.

• Avoid medicines that delay or disruptyour sleep. Ask your doctor or pharma-cist if medications might be contributingto a sleep problem.

• Don’t take late-afternoon or eveningnaps, unless you work nights. If you mustnap, keep it under 45 minutes.

The Rev. Paul Jarvisassigned to parish,began July 1BY MICHAEL RICCI • SUN NEWSPAPERS

The Church of St. Joseph in Rosemountmay be under new direction, but continu-ing its tradition remains a priority.

The Rev. Paul Jarvis was assigned tothe Church of St. Joseph, 13900 BiscayneAve. W., Rosemount. Having begun July 1,Jarvis’ arrival marks the 15th pastor forthe parish community since it began in1856, years before the first church wasbuilt in 1868.

Church of St. Joseph Parish DirectorJerry Roth said that Jarvis possesses avery open and welcoming style. He addedthat the parishioners share his feelings.

“They have greeted him with openarms. They are excited to have him,” Rothsaid. “He would want to continue a tradi-tion of St. Joseph’s parish being veryactive in its community.”

Jarvis follows in the footsteps of theRev. John Oster, who was the first officialpastor in 1868, as well as former pastorsthe Revs. Lawrence Carey, James Furey,Francis Roach and Tom Hill.

Exhibiting his knowledge of the parishcommunity, Jarvis commented about thework of Parish Administrator GaryMitchell and Hill, namely their involve-ment in moving the third church, former-ly on Highway 3, to its current location.

“They led the parishioners in doingthat,” Jarvis said, adding that the parish-ioners spent a lot of time volunteering.Their work included moving stained glasswindows to the new location on BiscayneAvenue West.

Prior to arriving at St. Joseph’s, Jarvisheard through the grapevine what aunique parish community he was enter-ing. The buzz about the parish at St.Joseph was always positive, and spokehighly on parishioner involvement.

“There are very few pew potatoes here,”he said.

Like many other priests, Jarvis said thepriesthood was not a vocation he intendedto pursue but rather one that was a callingto which he ultimately responded.

“I think that with most ordained priestsin the Catholic religion, that sense orknowledge seems to come early,” Jarvissaid, adding he first felt this at 8 years ofage.

By the time Jarvis began attending theUniversity of St. Thomas in St. Paul, hesaid he could not quite settle on one major.

“My primary interest was [earning] a

degree that would get me a nice job,” hesaid.

After not finding a major he felt was theright for him, Jarvis did not graduate onschedule and wound up working in the sec-ular world as a communications and mar-keting director with Business Incentives,Inc.

“Sometimes I look back and wonder if Iwasted my time. I wonder if I wasted God’stime,” Jarvis said. “In retrospect I see it allworking out well.”

One month into his new role at St.Joseph’s, Jarvis is enjoying the experi-ence, and has found the parish to be wel-coming.

“Any parish today is really a village forpeople,” he said, adding that is perceptionof St. Joseph’s is a parish that is very car-ing and very involved in the village con-cept. He referred to it as the same type ofvillage that the early settlers enjoyed.

“It is large enough, 1,800 households, todo a lot, but small enough so that peoplecan actually get to know each other andcare for one another.”

Jarvis attended he Saint Paul SeminarySchool of Divinity in St. Paul and wasordained in 2004.

Eagan author’s newnovel captures spiritof New OrleansBY HANNAH LUND • SUN NEWSPAPERS INTERN

It’s a city where the main street iscongested with beads and laughter.

It’s a city where a walk along thecoast is a walk through tragedy.

But for Eagan resident and St.Thomas graduate Jenna-Lynne Duncan,New Orleans is a home and the settingfor her first novel, “Hurricane.” Setamidst the days leading up to the lashesof hurricane Katrina, “Hurricane” tellsthe story of a 17 year-old who gets kid-napped by mysterious boys and taken onan adventure through a city full of ghoststories, voodoo and magical twistsaround every corner.

The first of three novels, Hurricanefeatures urban-supernatural adventureswith possible romance along the way,according to Duncan.

“Everything in it is real places, whichI wanted to do so that people could actu-ally visit and bring fantasy to life,”Duncan said. “I couldn’t imagine settingit anywhere else.”

According to Duncan, writing“Hurricane” was like revisiting herNew Orleans home every day. Duringschool breaks and any time not study-ing, the avid New Orleans denizen wroteroughly 250 pages over the course of sixmonths. Now, with final editing, blurbs,bios, summaries, and marketing on herplate, she’s finding that writing a novelis not as easy as it looks.

“It’s been really fun to work on, but itwas definitely more than just writing anovel and being done with it,” Duncansaid. “I’m really happy with how itturned out, though, and I think a lot ofpeople will connect with it.”

Duncan looks forward to continuingmore writing projects, two of whichbeing the next books in the “Hurricane”series. Revisiting her city throughwords didn’t seem like enough forDuncan. Once “Hurricane” hits thebookshelves, a portion of its proceedswill either go toward Habitat forHumanity’s reconstruction efforts in

New Orleans, or toward restocking bookpiles in some of the many high schoolsdestroyed in the hurricane.

“That was one of the main things forwhy I wanted to write this book,”Duncan said. “I just wanted to get myexperiences and feelings about Katrinadown on paper, because I was a teenagerwhen it hit.”

Duncan recalled the Monday morn-ing when the hurricane hit her home-town. Though several locals fled beforethe water came, many stayed, includingDuncan’s grandma.

“It was hard to get a hold of familyand friends…that was the worst part,”she said. “We would be calling mygrandma’s house, but the phones weredown, so we had no way of knowing ifshe was still alive.”

Once the storm settled and familymembers were accounted for, Duncanand her family stood in awe of thewreckage left in the cataclysm’s wake.

“I wanted to go down there right awayto help out with the building,” Duncansaid. “A lot of people didn’t come backfrom Katrina. The more I heard about it,the more I felt I needed to do some-thing.”

It wouldn’t be until her spring breakthat she could visit her city, but Duncansays that the signs of the vibrant citywere not completely faded. She saw hopein the walls of water and was eager toshare it with everyone she knew.

Now, with the help of DivertirPublishing and over 4,000 people follow-ing her on Twitter, Duncan will be ableto do just that.

“I want my readers to know about myNew Orleans,” she said. “It’s such a richplace with a rich culture, and that it’snot underwater. We will rebuild, andwith everyone rebuilding, it’ll comeback.”

“Hurricane” will come out Aug. 29,the sixth anniversary of HurricaneKatrina. For more information onJenna-Lynne Duncan, visit jenna-lynne.com.

Hennepin, Dakota countymayors get behind thewheel for food shelvesBY PAUL GROESSEL • SUN NEWSPAPERS

New Hope Mayor Kathi Hemkengunned it around the racetrack. She didpretty well since it was her first timehopping into a door-less stockcar, a la“The Dukes of Hazard.”

She and other mayors fromHennepin and Dakota county cities aregoing to face off at Shakopee’s RacewayPark track in September to help raisemoney for area food shelves.

On Thursday, July 28, after layingdown a little friendly smack talk toother mayors for a commercial to pro-mote the upcoming “Race for HungerMayors Cup,” Hemken took a stockcarout for a spin on the track.

So, how’d her test spin go?“Fabulous. You really do have to pay

attention,” Hemken said. “It’s not likedriving on the streets of New Hope.”

Although the list of participants has-n’t been confirmed for the “Race forHunger Mayors Cup,” event organizerDenny Barlau said around 20 mayorsand city representatives could take partin the races.

The event has been scheduled Sept. 9at Raceway Park, 1 Checkered FlagBlvd., Shakopee. Gates open 5 p.m.; time

trials and photo sessions start 5:30 p.m.,and opening ceremonies begin 7:30 p.m.

Aside from seeing area mayorsstockcar race against each other in sev-eral heats, guests can also seeMinnesota Viking cheerleaders, Swarmcheerleaders, and retired North Starhockey players.

To open the event, Westside 1Skydivers will jump from 24,000 feetand land and parachute to the center ofthe track.

Tickets are $12.50 at the gate and pre-sale tickets are $10. Children 12 andunder are admitted for free.

Crashed biplanepurchased on eBayturns out to haveunique World War IIconnectionBY JOSEPH PALMERSHEIMSUN NEWSPAPERS

Apple Valley native Matt Quy is allabout airplanes.

The 35-year-old U.S. Air Force cap-tain, who now lives in Sacramento, iscurrently on a cross-country flight todeliver his PT-13 Stearman biplane tothe Smithsonian Museum of AfricanAmerican Culture. After restoring theplane, an Air Force researcher discov-ered that it had been used to trainsome of the first African-Americanfighter and bomber pilots duringWorld War II. The rare airplane willbecome part of the museum’sTuskegee Airmen exhibit.

After leaving California two weeksago, Quy made stops at the U.S. AirForce Academy, Flying Cloud Airportin Eden Prairie and even AirlakeAirport in Lakeville. This week, he’llbe flying to Oshkosh, then toTuskegee, Ala., before arriving inWashington, D.C., the first week inAugust.

The long flight plan leading toWashington, D.C., all started at the endof a grass runway in Apple Valley. Quyfirst became intrigued by airplaneswhile growing up near local aviationlegend Chuck Doyle. Doyle used to flyhis turquoise-and-white biplane rightover the Quy’s house, sometimes fill-ing the neighborhood with skywritingsmoke.

“His engine noise would shake thehouse,” Quy remembered. “It was soawesome and powerful and beautiful.”

“Even when Matt was three, some ofhis first words were when he was try-ing to point up and say, ‘airplane,’”said his mother, Joyce Quy of AppleValley.

Six years ago, Quy fulfilled a life-long dream of owning a biplane likethe one Chuck Doyle flew over hishouse all those years ago. It was anexpensive dream, but Chuck Doyle Jr.,his aviation inspiration’s son, told himto “buy it and make it work.” Afterconsulting with his wife, Tina, Quybegan a search for fixer-uppers, andpurchased a damaged PT-13 Stearmanbiplane on eBay.

“It had been damaged in accident,and the pilot had put it down on a dirtroad,” Quy said. “It had all kinds ofdamage to wings, fuselage and prop.Both of the landing gear axles werebent. It was bought as a wreck. Attime, I was living on a Louisiana AirForce base, and had a friend inHouston who rebuilt these. We workedon it during the weekends, and overthree years, got it rebuilt.”

While many of the 10,300 PT-13Stearmans built had a role in trainingpilots during World War II, Quy’sStearman had an additional claim tofame – one which became apparentafter its pilot submitted the serialnumber to historians at Maxwell AirForce base.

“The guy called me, and asked if Iwas sitting down,” Quy said. “He saidthat as far as his documentation wasconcerned, it was the only Stearman[used to train Tuskegee airmen] thatwas still flying. My wife and I plannedon keeping this flying by doing sight-seeing rides, but when I found the his-tory, I knew it was pretty special. I’dmet Tuskegee Airmen at the South St.Paul Airport, and knew we had some-thing special.”

The Tuskegee Airmen, so namedbecause they trained at the TuskegeeInstitute in Alabama, were the firstAfrican-American pilots trained bythe U.S. Army Air Corps during WorldWar II. The American military wasstill racially segregated at the time,and the men in the 332nd FighterGroup and 477th Bombardment Groupwere kept apart from their whitepeers.

While the bombardment groupnever served in combat, the 332ndFighter Group served in the Europeantheatre with honor. According to theNational Museum of the U.S. AirForce:

“The 332nd Fighter Group and the477th Medium Bombardment Groupproved themselves equal to white fliersand support troops. They disprovedassumptions that African-Americanswere unsuited to the rigors of serving ina highly technical combat arm such asthe USAAF. But despite proving them-selves, black airmen still were segregat-ed. The Tuskegee experiment made itobvious to many leaders, PresidentHarry S. Truman in particular, thatsegregation by race in the military – inaddition to being morally wrong – wassimply inefficient and should be ended.”

During the war, 992 TuskegeeAirmen were trained, and 450 weresent overseas. By the time the conflict

ended, the group had earned theDistinguished Unit Citation, shotdown 122 enemy aircraft, and lostfewer than 25 bombers on escort mis-sions. More than 150 of the pilots werekilled in combat or in accidents,according to the Air Force museum.

Quy has captured some of this his-tory not only with his restored air-plane, but also in the growing collec-tion of Tuskegee Airmen autographson the interior of the Stearman’s bag-gage compartment door. To date, 34 sig-natures have been collected.

“Our first event was at the Reno AirRaces in 2008, and there were fourTuskegee Airmen out there,” Quysaid. “We had these signature cardsthey were all signing, and I thought,‘They should sign the airplane. It’ssomething we can travel with, andwhenever we meet up with more, we’llhave them sign it.’ It’s like having afavorite baseball player signing a ballyou caught at the game.”

‘I felt I owed it to them’The Stearman, which is painted in a

yellow wings-blue fuselage schemecommon to training aircraft duringWorld War II, has a 220-horsepowerLycoming engine and a maximumspeed of 125 mph.

Quy said his wife Tina, a Lake Citynative, was “the backbone of the proj-ect,” and that every penny she’s madesince graduating from college hasgone into the plane. He describes fly-ing the machine as “like flying aHarley.”

“It’s the ultimate freedom,” he said.“Especially living here, where we arefree to fly around and go anywhere youwant. I love going through bluff coun-try and not having anything in yourway. It’s a magic carpet ride, I guess.”

As part of the agreement with theSmithsonian, Quy will be taking to theskies in another Stearman the muse-um agreed to provide him with. Itneeds work, and is “in about 40 pieces”at the moment, but Quy has plans toturn it into a “flying veterans tribute,”painted in the colors of the POW-MIAflag.

“It’s quite an honor to hang out withmy heroes, to be able to spend entireweekends with them,” he said. “Whenwe were turning [the other Stearman]over, I asked what we could do thatwould be a good tribute. Right beforewe left for D.C., I was watching aHistory Channel production about[Vietnam-era prisoners of war], andthey were showing sketches that one ofthe [captured] Navy pilots drew. I was

so moved that I decided I wanted to doa tribute to them. The plane will looklike a big POW-MIA flag, and we’ll doaerobatic routines.”

Quy plans to start working on thenew Stearman once his duties inWashington, D.C., are finished. He’slooking for sponsors, and is estimatingthat he can have the new plane flight-ready in a year and a half. Part of whatmotivates him on this project is hisinterest in World War II, but also hispatriotism. He was flying for SunCountry Airlines when the 9/11attacks happened, and enlisted in theU.S. Air Force in response.

“The guys who defended me are allolder now, and I felt I owed it to them,”he said. “Hopefully, there are someyoung kids I can inspire to go into theAir Force to defend me when I am anold fart.”

Aviation inspiration seems to runin Quy’s family. Several uncles weremechanics with Northwest Airlines,and his sister, Andrea, flew in thebackseat of an F-14 Tomcat in the U.S.Navy as a radar-intercept officer, or“RIO.” Andrea’s husband currentlycommands the Navy aggressorsquadron, made famous in the movie“Top Gun.”

“I’m not sure how we all ended up inaviation,” Quy said. “It was probablythe excitement and thrill of being inthe air. My parents were always patri-otic, and it might be the combinationof those two things. It’s hard to say,even though I’m living it.”

Joyce Quy doesn’t seem surprisedthat her son ended up in aviation. Theexperience of Chuck Doyle’s biplane,combined with the uncles atNorthwest, led him to solo three daysafter his 16th birthday as a Civil AirPatrol member.

“It’s incredible to me that all alonghe’s had this desire to be in theclouds,” she said. “And believe me, he’sin the clouds, both figuratively and lit-erally, when he’s flying.”

Joyce said she is “immenselyproud” that her son decided to sharehis historic airplane with the worldrather than hang on to it for himself,and is also glad he’s sharing the storyof the Tuskegee Airmen. Having flownin the Stearman three times, sheunderstands its appeal to him.

“You are literally up there, observ-ing all of God’s beautiful creation, andyou don’t have all the sound from theground, the distractions – you justhave this beautiful panorama,” shesaid. “I can see why he was drawn to it– it gets in your blood after a while.”

Rhonda and Jim Steffes have owned andoperated New Windows for America in NewBrighton since 2000. Their business hasgrown to 30 employees and moved in March2011 to a bigger location in New Brighton offof 35W.

The company sells and installs residentialwindows, doors, siding, attic insulation, metaland solar roofing.

“We started as a windows only company, butover the years have expanded to include moreenergy efficient products,” said Rhonda, whostarted the company after working for 10 yearsas a home health care RN. “I went from takingcare of people to taking care of homes. We wantto be your Energy Savings Solution Company.”

Jim was a CPA working as the chief finan-cial officer for a manufacturing plant beforehe joined Rhonda in the company.

“We were founded after all the hassles andhigh prices we obtained while searching forwindows in our home,” says Rhonda. “We feltwe could do it better, cheaper and with lesshassles for the homeowner. We become your‘window guy’ for any problems, questions or

concerns. One call to us will take care of it.”With the federal government pushing

homeowners to be more energy efficient,New Windows for America has joined forceswith Xcel Energy and is now a trade partner.

“Our relationship with Xcel Energy helpsus help our customers save money by makingtheir homes more energy efficient with atticinsulation,” adds Rhonda. “We also madehomes energy efficient with Energy Star certi-fied windows, which can slash up to 40% offyour home’s heating and air conditioningloss.”

Solar roofing is another new product thecompany is installing so homeowners caneliminate a large portion of their home elec-trical costs, which in turn helps decrease ourdependency on foreign oil.

For the last nine years the company hasreceived the Super Service Award from AngiesList and has an A-plus rating from the BetterBusiness Bureau. They also have a 12 monthSame-as-Cash financing program.

Rhonda claims that a major key to theirsuccess is having the highest quality installa-

tion, adding how “most of our customer feed-back is reporting how conscientious andmeticulous our installers are.”

New Windows for America offers a doublelifetime warranty including glass breakageand lifetime labor. All vinyl replacement win-dows are guaranteed for as long as you ownthe home. The warranty in non-prorated andthere will be no charge for glass seal failure orglass breakage to the present property owneror the subsequent homeowner.

“If you provide lifetime labor warranty, itneeds to be right the first time,” addsRhonda.

In addition to the lifetime warranty thecompany offers an energy guarantee. Theirstandard window is a triple pane which is30% more energy efficient than double panewindows most other companies install.

Besides being more energy efficient,Rhonda says other benefits of having newwindows and siding include increased proper-ty value and security, noise reduction,enhanced appearance of your home and theyare maintenance free and easy to clean.

Plus, the Remodeling Magazine's CostVersus Value report concludes, when replac-ing 10+ windows with vinyl replacement win-dows, the home's immediate return of invest-ment is 73.6 percent.

New Windows for America offers all vinylor a wood interior window that has the main-tenance free vinyl exterior. This is a niceoption for those who want to keep a realwood window in their home. The wood win-dows are available in both oak & poplar.

“We have over 2,770 references, and haveinstalled over 50,000 windows in the TwinCities,” adds Rhonda. “Approximately 35-40percent of our business is generated throughreferrals or repeat business.”

Store hours are 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.Monday through Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30p.m. Friday and 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.Saturday. The store is at 2123 Old Hwy 8 NWNew Brighton. Information: 651-203-0149 orwww.NWFAMN.com.
