Father Paul Jarvis was assigned to the Church of St. Joseph as its new pastor. Jarvis began July 1 and is the congregation’s 15th pastor forthe parish community since it began in 1856.

St. Joseph’schurch undernew pastoraldirectionRev. Paul Jarvis assignedto parish, began July 1BY MICHAEL RICCI • SUN NEWSPAPERS

The Church of St. Joseph in Rosemount may beunder new direction, but continuing its traditionremains a priority.

The Rev. Paul Jarvis was assigned to the Church ofSt. Joseph, 13900 Biscayne Ave. W., Rosemount. Havingbegun July 1, Jarvis’ arrival marks the 15th pastor forthe parish community since it began in 1856, yearsbefore the first church was built in 1868.

Church of St. Joseph Parish Director Jerry Rothsaid that Jarvis possesses a very open and welcomingstyle. He added that the parishioners share his feel-ings.

“They have greeted him with open arms. They areexcited to have him,” Roth said. “He would want tocontinue a tradition of St. Joseph’s parish being veryactive in its community.”

Jarvis follows in the footsteps of the Rev. JohnOster, who was the first official pastor in 1868, as wellas former pastors the Revs. Lawrence Carey, JamesFurey, Francis Roach and Tom Hill.

Exhibiting his knowledge of the parish community,Jarvis commented about the work of ParishAdministrator Gary Mitchell and Hill, namely theirinvolvement in moving the third church, formerly on

Highway 3, to its current location.“They led the parishioners in doing

that,” Jarvis said, adding that theparishioners spent a lot of time volun-teering. Their work included movingstained glass windows to the new loca-tion on Biscayne Avenue West.

Prior to arriving at St. Joseph’s,Jarvis heard through the grapevinewhat a unique parish community hewas entering. The buzz about theparish at St. Joseph was always posi-tive, and spoke highly on parishionerinvolvement.

“There are very few pew potatoeshere,” he said.

Like many other priests, Jarvis saidthe priesthood was not a vocation heintended to pursue but rather one thatwas a calling to which he ultimatelyresponded.

“I think that with most ordainedpriests in the Catholic religion, thatsense or knowledge seems to comeearly,” Jarvis said, adding he first feltthis at 8 years of age.

By the time Jarvis began attendingthe University of St. Thomas in St.

Paul, he said he could not quite settleon one major.

“My primary interest was [earning]a degree that would get me a nice job,”he said.

After not finding a major he felt wasthe right for him, Jarvis did not gradu-ate on schedule and wound up workingin the secular world as a communica-tions and marketing director withBusiness Incentives, Inc.

“Sometimes I look back and wonderif I wasted my time. I wonder if I wast-ed God’s time,” Jarvis said. “In retro-spect I see it all working out well.”

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

“Any parish today is really a villagefor people,” he said, adding that is per-ception of St. Joseph’s is a parish thatis very caring and very involved in thevillage concept. He referred to it as thesame type of village that the early set-tlers enjoyed.

“It is large enough, 1,800 house-holds, to do a lot, but small enough sothat people can actually get to knoweach other and care for one another.”

Jarvis attended he Saint PaulSeminary School of Divinity in St.Paul and was ordained in 2004.

instructions with paddle boarders look-ing for advice.

“Staff are more than happy to givetips to make sure they’re having a goodtime out there,” Pata said.

Hubbell recently used the paddleboards with a large group of friends onJuly 8. This was her first time on a pad-dle board, and she was admittedly anx-ious beforehand.

“I was little nervous,” Hubbell said.“It looked like it would require a certainamount of balancing, but it’s actuallyreally stable.”

Hubbell enjoyed the unique viewstanding up on the board provided.

“You get a better visual into the lake,”she said. “I thought that was the neatestpart of it. I didn’t expect to get that dif-ferent perspective. Everybody was sur-prised by how stable they were and howeasy they were to use.”

Stand up paddle boarding could beconsidered as an alternative to hiking oranother form of daily exercise, Hubbellsaid.

“I think people would surprised byhow much of a workout it can be,”Hubbell said, adding it can be an effec-tive core strengthening exercise.

Because the boards have been a popu-lar feature this summer, the park is look-ing to acquire more, Pata said.

“If not this year, than hopefully fornext year,” she said.

Steve Hart, park facilities specialistfor Dakota County Parks, can vouch forthe board’s popularity. He oversees therental equipment at the park’s VisitorCenter and is responsible for their main-tenance.

“Every weekend, they’re rented outalmost the entire day from 10 a.m. to 8p.m.,” said Hart. “They caught on fasterthan I anticipated.”

BY MATTHEW HANKEY • SUN NEWSPAPERS

Water enthusiasts are standing up onSchulze Lake in Eagan.

While it may appear that these enthu-siasts are walking on the water’s sur-face, they are actually standing on alightweight plastic board, and paddlingtheir way around the lake. This spring,the Lebanon Hills Regional Parkacquired a fleet of four Stand Up PaddleBoards. The board is similar to a surf-board in size, but weighs much less andprovides more stability for the user.

“This is a pretty, fun unique way forpeople to recreate on our beautifullakes,” said Katie Pata, park operationcoordinator at the Lebanon Hills VisitorCenter.

The boards are used similarly to asurfboard, but without the wave propul-sion offered by ocean waves. The userstands on the board and uses a paddle tomaneuver and travel on a calm body ofwater, typically a lake.

“You‘re basically walking on water bystanding on the paddleboard,” saidAutumn Hubbell, lead naturalist atLebanon Hills Regional Park whereSchulze Lake is located.

Lebanon Hills has four paddle boards

that can be rented for $10 an hour, whichincludes the board, paddle and life jack-et. There is enough space for one or twopeople to stand up on the board.

“A parent and child could certainlypaddle,” said Pata. “It’s kind of like aMinnesota gondola.”

Using the board provides lake users adifferent view of the water than if theywere on shore or in a kayak or canoe,Pata said.

“When you’re standing, you can seethrough the clear water, see the fish andother animals.” Pata said. “It’s just sucha unique, peaceful way to see the park.”

Pata has heard from friends thatStand Up Paddle Boards are easier ontheir backs than using a kayak or canoe.They’re also easier to balance and lesscumbersome, Pata said.

“If you’ve had trouble with canoes orkayaks, definitely give paddle boardinga try,” Pata said.

In the spring, park staff gave a freelesson demonstrating how to use theboards. There two types of boards – twothat are 40 pounds and two that are 60pounds. The bigger boards are easier tomaneuver, Pata said.

Though classes are not available dur-ing the summer, park staff will share

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

The Eagan restaurant recently re-openedafter it started on fire more than five monthsago. Brothers David and Ramsey Ansari runthe restaurant, and other family memberswork as a bus boy, host, chef server and helpbehind the bar. Their father Pasha, former co-owner of the Mediterranean Cruise Café inEagan, works full-time as the daytime manag-er.

But it’s a wonder they’re still in business.The fire was the latest challenge since thefamily first opened the restaurant on NewYear’s Eve 2008. David and Ramsey’s mother,Mary, had numerous health issues spring upat once less than a year after the restaurantopened.

A stroke, staf infection and subsequentheart valve replacement surgery in late 2009left Mary Ansari, now 58, in the hospital forfour months.

“It was heartbreaking,” said ThereseJohnson, an Ansari’s bar manager who hasworked 12 years for the family. “She was pret-ty much on her death bed.”

Mary Ansari served tables at the restau-rant before her health complications, andsince 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 Twins gamelast summer, she felt a pain in her lowerabdomen. The next day, she came to work,still complaining about the pain she felt.Ramsey told her to see a doctor. The diagno-sis: ovarian cancer.

“It was stage four,” Johnson said. “It waspretty heavy duty. I had 18 chemos in a row.”

Johnson is nearly currently cancer-free.“I am doing OK,” Johnson said. “I still

have one more chemo left and I think I’mkicking this. There’s no cancer anywhere elsein my body.”

Family friend Ryan Britton is amazed atthe resiliency of both Mary Ansari andJohnson.

“Those two women are two of thestrongest women I’ve met in my entire life,”said Britton said. “Mary is like a second Mom[to me].”

To top it off, on one of last winter’s coldestdays, a fire started at 5 a.m. Feb. 9 in therestaurant. Firefighters told the brothers thata malfunction in the roof ’s heating unitcaused it to start on fire. The heating unitthen collapsed partially through one of thebathroom ceilings.

“Once the fire started, you could see the

sky through the roof,” Britton said.The fire damaged the roof and ceilings,

and smoke seeped through the whole restau-rant, ruining nearly all its contents.

“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 early 1900s,said Ramsey Ansari. The bar has initialscarved underneath it dated as early as 1906.

“The hotel was torn down in the 90s andwe found it in a storage warehouse in 2008,”said Ramsey Ansari, 30. “We purchased it andbrought it back to life.”

David Ansari said the brothers considerednot re-opening since they only had insuranceto cover the contents of their restaurant.

With the help of about 15 employees, thefamily began working on repairing therestaurant one and a half months after thefire started, David Ramsey said.

The restaurant recently re-opened on July11, nearly five months to the day after the fire,David Ansari said.

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

“He did so much work,” Ramsey Ansarisaid of Britton, who replaced all the tiles, car-

Ansari’s restaurant back in business five months after roof-top heater firepeting and helped paint the interior. “Wecouldn’t have done it without him.”

Britton said watching Johnson and MaryAnsari battle through their health problemsgave a spark to those who hlped renovate therestaurant.

“It definitely helped motivate every oneelse to get this done,” said Britton, owner ofBritton Tile in Eagan.

The renovations included building a high-er ceiling, adding VIP booths to the diningarea, new tables, new woodwork, adding 15feet to the bar and expanding the outdoorpatio area.

“We now have one of the biggest patios inEagan,” Ramsey Ansari said.

The Ansaris have a special bond withtheir customers and their city. Johnson hasseen this connection help stabilize and sup-port them through all they’ve experienced.

“We have such loyal customers and loyalfriends,” Johnson said. “That’s what’s car-ried us through all of this.

“We did it together,” said David Ansari ofthe restaurant re-opening. “It was a teameffort and we got it done.”

And that seems to be a theme with Ansaris– doing things together.

Pasha Ansari helped open the

Hi, I’m Hannah. I live on OakShore Drive.

There was a day when thatwas all I needed (probably in thedays when the biggest challengewas how to open a milk carton).Maybe I’d mention a friend near-by or a cool park, but that wouldbe it – no distances measured byminutes, no miles and definitelyno kilometers. Easy.

When I went to Junior Highand not everyone knew “OakShore Drive,” and it became“Hannah by Crystal Lake.” Andwhen we all got our driver’slicenses, it was “Hannah Kind ofby Highway 35, down IpavaAvenue.” Classmates got the gen-eral gist of it, especially when I’dalso add how many minutes it’dtake to get there. As I’ve come tolearn, the general gist is whatpeople have come to expect.

Take when I’m in Iowa. Whilepeople from Wisconsin can usethe palms of their hands todemonstrate where their town islocated, we in Minnesota don’treally have that option (as ifpointing to our feet to demon-strate Minnesota’s topographywould really clarify anything). In

Iowa, I have to use even moregeneral locations. I’m “Hannahfrom about 40 minutes south ofthe Twin Cities in Minnesota.”

I hardly expect people to knowLakeville, let alone Oak ShoreDrive, but I’m not metropolitan.I’m “close enough,” which in theeyes of an outsider, makes me apart of the bustling sidewalks bythe Minnesota River.

With this false assumption, Iwent to California to visit mycousins, thinking that “theMinneapolis area” was a good,easy place to find. Sure, I didn’trun into George Clooney on aregular basis, but I figured thatany fool would know where tofind something in theMinneapolis area.

Sadly, I quickly discoveredthat many Californians barelyknow where Minnesota is, letalone Minneapolis. I was pinned

immediately as an out-of-towner,given that I was wearing shortsin the ludicrously cool tempera-ture of 70 degrees. When theyfailed to recognize Minnesota, Iopted instead for “the Midwest,”which must have looked like apile of cornfields to them, and Iwas thus regarded as a farm-hand.

I suppose there used to be apumpkin patch across the streetfrom my neighborhood, butthat’s long since become a mas-sive church. Anything betweenNew York and Los Angeles mustjust be considered raw materialfor the bigger cities.

Eventually, the day came that Iwent out-of-country, and the ini-tial “Where are you from?”became even vaguer. I was“Hannah from America.”Granted, it didn’t take much tofigure that out thanks to myrather dorky outfit and terribleSpanish, but when I tried to honein on my home-town, I had tostop at “Umm, just south ofCanada, about seven hours.”They scoffed at my usage of timeas a measurement and marveledat how remote my home was,

given that it was not in the cruxof America, where the GoldenGate Bridge juts right intoPlymouth Rock, you know, theone in Times Square with all thecowboys.

Someday, I’m going to be trav-eling through the galaxy (sincethat’s what will inevitably hap-pen in the future, according toevery science fiction novel inexistence) and I’ll run into some-one in the dark recesses of space.After the initial “Are you going toeat me?” has been established,they’ll ask me where I’m from.

I’ll probably say: “In theNorthern Hemisphere, thirdplanet from the sun. Just aboutsix light-years from the AsteroidBelt, if you go by shuttle.”

“Ah,” they’ll say. “I knewsomeone from there once. Theywere from Lakeville, though, youprobably haven’t heard of it.”

Who knows? With all of mylocational vague-ness over theyears, I just might not.

This is the summer of our discontentU.S. has no troublesaying‘compromise,’ hasissuesimplementing theconcept

The summer of 1967 wasknown as the summer of love.Summer 2011 should be titled‘the summer of no compro-mise.’

The symphony that is the

United States is reaching acrescendo of disagreement.And it couldn’t come at a worstpossible time as the federal gov-ernment is faced with the taskof solving the nation’s budget-ary issues.

Our elected officials havebeen charged with the sacredduty of making difficult deci-

sions on behalf of their con-stituents.

However, most politiciansseem more worried about thenext round of elections thangetting anything constructivedone.

Republicans will not budgeon taxes, while Democratsrefuse to cut spending, all withthe underhanded intentions ofgetting reelected.

These politicians must com-promise or be ready to takeresponsibility for the calami-tous consequences of notreaching a debt ceiling solu-tion.

A message to our legislatorsneeds to be sent. Sometimestaxes need to be raised toincrease revenue and some-times spending must be cut toreduce debt.

It is simple, commonsenselogic. The point is: Get it done.The solution may not be per-fect, but in this instance doinganything may be better thandoing nothing at all.

This inability to compro-mise is a disease that is reach-ing epidemic status and it does-n’t discriminate.

An Apple Valley man is facing severalfirearms-related charges for his allegedrole in the July 23 accidental shootingdeath of a Welch man.

Derrick Wallace Dahl, 22, is facingcharges of second-degree manslaughter,reckless discharge of a firearm in amunicipality, intentionally pointing a gunat another and recklessly handling a gunin connection with the death of BenjaminAllen Hanson, 22, of Welch, Minn. Thefirst two charges are felonies, and the lat-ter two are misdemeanors.

According to a criminal complaintissued July 26 by the Dakota CountyAttorney’s Office:

Burnsville police officers responded toa call shortly after 9 p.m. Saturday, July 23,at a home on East Crystal Lake Road inBurnsville on the report that a man hadbeen shot in the head but had survived.When they arrived, they found Dahl out-side the residence.

Dahl told officers that he was inside thehouse while Hanson was cleaning hisguns. He also claimed that he didn’t wit-ness the shot, but had heard it and saw hisfriend fall to the floor.

A witness, who was not identified in thecomplaint, told police that both Dahl andHanson had been cleaning guns while he,the witness, was watching television. Afterhearing a bang, the witness turned to seeHanson on the floor and Dahl with hishands near his face.

Paramedics arriving on the scene found

Hanson on the lower level of the homewith a gunshot wound to the head. He wastransported by ambulance to HennepinCounty Medical Center, where he laterdied. Several handguns were also found atthe scene.

Dahl and the witness were taken to theBurnsville Police Department for state-ments, and several more firearms wereseized when a search warrant was execut-ed on the house. One of the guns theyfound was a Kimber .45 caliber handgunthat had a magazine inserted and wasready to fire. The bullets in the gunmatched a single spent shell casing foundon the floor of the gun safe, and a spent .45caliber bullet was found under a piece ofwood.

While speaking to officers, Dahl saidthat the three men had been “just playingaround” and pointing empty guns at eachother. He also told them that he had neverhandled a gun, and had pointed what hethought was an unloaded handgun atHanson and fired. He told officers thatit was an accident, and that he did notknow the gun was loaded.

The following day, BenjaminHanson’s mother called the departmentand informed them that her son haddied, the complaint concluded.

Dahl’s next court date is set for Aug.15. The second-degree manslaughtercharge carries with it up to 10 years inprison and $20,000 in fines, and thereckless discharge charge carries withit up to two years incarceration and a$5,000 fine.

AV man facing severalcharges in gun-related death


An Eagan man was recentlycharged with stealing more than$150,000 while acting as treasurer of aMinneapolis nonprofit ice-skatingclub.

John Paul Rodrigues, 57, wascharged July 27 with two felony countsof theft and is scheduled to appear inDakota County District Court inHastings Aug. 29.

According to the criminal com-plaint, Eagan police officials investi-gated a theft report at the skating clubin 2009. Rodrigues allegedly told club

board members he owed the club about$25,000 after previously withholdinginformation regarding its finances.

A forensic accounting analysis ofthe club’s bank account determinedthat since Rodrigues began serving astreasurer in 2004, more than $157,500had gone missing through unautho-rized cash and phone withdrawals.

More than $50,000 of those with-drawn funds were then directlydeposited into Rodrigues’ personalbank account. Rodrigues resigned hisposition in Nov. 2010 after being con-fronted about the club’s missing funds,the complaint concluded.

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

Built as part of the ongoing “Heart ofthe Zoo” renovations, the MinnesotaZoo’s first penguin exhibit is stationednear the entrance. These renovations,started last fall, also include an updatedentrance, a Target-sponsored learningcenter and future rooms better suited toview animals.

With the 18 new penguins leaping inthe water and tapping against the glass,learning has rarely made such a splash.

“It was a great day when the publicfirst got access and we got to see the kidsclimbing up on the rocks,” said avianspecialist Jimmy Pichner. “By midday,it’s so full that everyone’s pressed upagainst the glass.”

According to Pichner, the new pen-guin exhibit is unique in that it allowsvisitors to get “nose-to-beak” with theirwinged friends. Large rocks are situatedaround the glass tank for kids to climbup on and learn firsthand about pen-

guins. Designed to mirror the SouthAfrican penguin-nesting habitat“Boulder Beach,” the reconstructioncomes complete with a filtration systemgeared toward keeping the tank at a cool63 degrees during the humid summermonths.

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), visitorslearn facts, features, and fears associat-ed with the “jackass penguins” – namedfor their donkey-like calls to each other.Like all 17 species of penguins, theSouth African penguins live in theSouthern Hemisphere, “well away fromSanta,” according to Pichner, and feedon small fish. While most pieces ofinformation describes size, feedinghabits and the birds’ natural habitat in

Unfortunately, the epidemic hasn’tbeen quarantined within the halls of theU.S. Capitol Building; it has infected stategovernment as well.

Minnesotans have seen its symptomsfirst hand in the form of an embarrassing,20-day government shutdown.

The good news is a cure exists. There isalways a way to show your dissatisfaction.Get to the polls and boot out the politi-cians who put their self-interest before thestate’s.

As if it wasn’t bad enough that the abil-ity to compromise seems to have disap-peared from our government, the epidem-ic is leaking into our sport institutions aswell.

The NFL lockout lasted nearly 5months and now the NBA season is at riskthanks to another lockout, all because mil-lionaire players and billionaire ownerscan’t compromise on who gets what sliceof the financial pie.

Once again, there is a way to fight backif you feel strongly enough.

Don’t buy the tickets. Don’t buy the jer-

seys. Don’t buy the idea that bickering isacceptable in any institution.

This lack of compromise is dishearten-ing, to say the least, especially when con-sidering that if it were not for compro-mise the United States may not exist at all.

Our Founding Fathers — men likeThomas Jefferson, James Madison andAlexander Hamilton — compromised onmuch more difficult issues, such as howour government would be structured andwhat would be included in our constitu-tion.

Madison and Hamilton favored a largecentralized government, while Jeffersonpassionately argued in favor of small gov-ernment (sound familiar?).

Nevertheless, these men reached amiddle ground, a compromise thatincluded a combination of both ideas,leading to the creation of the U.S. as weknow it.

It is time for our politicians and insti-tutional leaders to take a page out offounder’s book.

Webster’s dictionary defines compro-mise as a settlement of differences by arbitration or by consent reached bymutual concessions.

Somebody please hand out some dic-tionaries.

Unlike the view expressed in AllanSherman’s song “Hello Muddah, HelloFadduh (A Letter from Camp),” oneApple Valley girl enjoyed her campexperience so much that she neverwanted to leave, and will be returningsoon.

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 children10-17, 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 chal-lenges, be independent, test them-selves and build new friendships.

According to Sierra’s mother,

Shelley Younger, her daughter is tech-nically not an amputee but neverthe-less qualifies for the camp.

“She was born without her femur,so she had surgery when she was 4-years-old,” Shelley said. “When shewas born it was shocking, but I didn’tcare. She was beautiful.”

But for a young girl growing intoher adolescent years, this fact was oflittle comfort. For years Sierra livedlife with an entirely different outlook,especially a feeling of self-conscious-ness regarding her appearance.

“I have been ever since I can remem-ber,” Sierra said. “For years it felt likeI was 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 offeeling “different” in a school environ-ment.

Southern Africa, the Minnesota Zoo alsomakes sure that visitors are equipped tohelp the now-endangered species.

With the zoo’s Seafood Watch pro-grams, visitors can keep track of ocean-friendly foods they eat to lessen theimpact of commercial fishing. The fish-ing, along with a half-degree tempera-ture rise in the sardine-filled currentshave reduced the penguin populationfrom a sizable 1-1.5 million to 25,000 inthe past century. The Minnesota Zoohopes that, with more awareness andcareful protection, the numbers will riseand help regenerate the population.

“Penguins do well in zoos, but we’retrying to help the population in the wildas well,” Pichner said. “We just want tomake sure that our visitors aren’t theones negatively affecting the penguins’natural habitats.”

In the exhibit, children hold upstuffed penguins to the glass, where the

swimming birds flit around in curiosity.During feeding time, zookeepers feedthe penguins one at a time, fish by fish.The visitors get to see every moment.

“It’s lots of fun to see them, especial-ly for the kids,” said zoo visitorMarianne Vanoverbeck. “[My grand-daughter] is able to sit right up therenext to them. That’s very special.”

With all the excitement around thepenguins, the Minnesota Zoo feelsencouraged to continue onto more newexhibits.

“We try to get a new exhibit in everyyear,” said Public Relations SpecialistKelly Lessard. “There’ll be a newBlack Bear exhibit for the MinnesotaTrail approximately fall 2012. We lookforward to seeing visitors’ reactions.”

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

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.

Did you know? According to a 2010 study conducted

by researchers at the Sleep andNeuroimaging Laboratory at theUniversity of California, Berkeley, amidday nap might just make yousmarter.

The study was conducted with thehelp of 39 college students, each ofwhom was asked to learn a series ofnew names and faces at noon and matchthe faces a few minutes later. The sametest was then performed at 6 p.m. thatsame day. A group of the participantswho took a nap at 2 p.m. performed bet-ter than those students who did not nap.

The latter group, in fact, had a signifi-cant decline in memory test scores.Researchers credit the nap with refresh-ing the brain, and they credit the studywith showing that the brain's ability toabsorb new information declines overthe course of a typical day. When a per-son naps, that decline seems to bereversed.

However, researchers noted that col-lege students, who generally do not getadequate sleep, might not make the bestsubject matter thanks to typically poorsleeping habits. Men and women who doget adequate sleep might not experienceany improved memory if they take anap during the day.

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 dis-ease.

It’s a myth that sleep problemsinevitably accompany aging, she said.“We’ve always been led to believe, ‘I’mnot sleeping well because I’m gettingolder,’” she said. “It’s not the age in andof itself, it’s other conditions that maybe part of aging, 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.

thetic,” Shelley said.Upon Sierra’s arrival to Ohio last

year and seeing so many other youths inher situation, her attitude began tochange almost right away.

“When I got off the plane, I saw a lotof 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 camp

last 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.

BV student’s air rifle team takesthird place at Junior OlympicsBY MATTHEW HANKEY • SUN NEWSPAPERS

Nick Skrogstad is shooting his way tothe top.

The Burnsville High School student’sair rifle team recently placed third at theThree Position Air Rifle Junior OlympicsNational Championships June 29 throughJuly 1 at Camp Perry in Port Clinton,Ohio. Nick, 17, helped the American

Legion Rifle Team in Richfield to finish inthe top three for the Sporter division, edg-ing out more than 50 other national rifleteams. The team has taken third place atthe national competition two years in arow.

“We were 18 points from taking secondplace,” Nick said of the 2011 championship.

“We did really well for being a relativelyyoung team. For being a young team, actu-ally, we kicked butt.”

Sporter division competitors use riflesthat cost less than $500 and are requiredto wear street clothes. The Precision divi-sion requires shooters to use rifles thatstart at $1,500 and wear full-leather, can-vas outfits.

“I like to describe them as a functionalstraight jacket,” said Nick, who competedonly in the Sporter division.

Shooters fire at targets 10 meters awayfrom three different positions: prone,standing, and kneeling using Daisy 887rifles with .177 lead pellets at paper tar-gets at the local and state competitions. Atthe Junior Olympics, however, shots areelectronically registered and postedinstantly. Before the tournamentswitched to the electronic scoring systema couple years ago, watching the competi-tion proved challenging.

“When he first started we had to watchit with binoculars,” said Nick’s mother,Peggy Skrogstad.

Nick has been on the team for fouryears, and is joined by Connor Dupeyfrom Bloomington, Cortney L’Heureuxfrom Farmington and Elizabeth Ewertwho lives in Burnsville, but attends highschool in Lakeville. Elizabeth’s brother,Sam Ewert, is the team’s alternate.

Nick also qualified for the 2011 champi-onship for the individual competition, butdidn’t place as high as he’d hoped.

“His goal was to be in the top eightshooters this year,” Peggy Skrogstad said.“Had he shot his average at the competi-tion that he shot at home, he would haveplaced in the top eight.”

Nick has been ranked as high as thenumber two junior air rifle shooter in thestate this year, after being the top shooterin 2010. He’s learned he can’t dwell on notreaching his individual goals if he’s goingto help his team be successful, his momsaid.

“You may be disappointed in your ownscore, but you pull it together so everyonecomes out a winner for them,” she said.

The team advanced to the JuniorOlympics after defeating the MendotaHeights-based St. Thomas Academy atthe state competition this past March inAnoka.

“It’s sort of a cool feeling beating arifle team where shooting is part of theirdaily curriculum,” Nick said. “It was afun moment when they announced thewinners of the state match.”

Nick has been shooting for more thana decade, “basically since I could walk,”often with his dad, Jeff Skrogstad.

“I had him out shooting when he wasfour or five and I had him start shooting a

.22,” Jeff Skrogstad said. “He loves theoutdoors and he started out being a goodshot.”

It was his mom, though, that con-vinced him to compete on an air rifleteam. Competing on an air rifle team isunique for a teenager. Nick is the onlymember from Burnsville High School’sair rifle team. Connor, Cortney andElizabeth round out that team, as well.

Nick petitioned the school this pastyear to allow air rifling to be considered aletter sport like football or tennis. Theschool approved his petition and Nickreceived athletic letters for his sopho-more and junior years. He will be a seniorthis fall and turn 18 years old this coming

January.He is currently enrolled in a merit

scholarship program at DunwoodyCollege of Technology and plans to attendfull-time when he graduates high schoolin Spring 2012. He plans to get his associ-ate’s degree in welding and machine fab-rication and a bachelor’s degree inmechanical engineering.

In addition to his air rifle accolades,Nick recently earned the distinction ofbecoming an Eagle Scout.

With the help of friends and fellow BoyScouts, he built an arbor, benches andlandscaped an area at the EbenezerRidges Care Center. Overall, the projecttook more than two months and 400 total

hours to complete. The arbor – like a gaze-bo – has a walkway, an arched roof andthe sides have latticework up to the rail.The structure is painted white.

“Every bit of it we built with wood thatwas donated or that we had layingaround,” Nick said. “I think almost of thewood was donated from the community.”

As far as air rifle competition, he hasfour more years to reach his goal. If heplaces in top eight places at the JuniorOlympics, he and coach Tim Cagney willtravel to Colorado Springs and work withrifle experts who will teach the best jun-ior shooters in the country.

“It’s kind of like a reward for doing sowell,” Jeff Skrogstad said.

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.”
