Christ-based yoga classes crop up at Twin Cities churchesBY KATIE MINTZ • SUN NEWSPAPERS
A handful of Twin Cities churches are combiningworship with a workout.
Holy Yoga classes are offered weekly at 11 metro loca-tions, including Edina, Excelsior, Robbinsdale andWaconia.
Holy Yoga uses the same poses as traditional yoga, butincorporates Bible verses, prayer and Christian music,said Jonnie Goodmanson, lead instructor trainer for thepractice.
“In traditional yoga it’s about looking into yourselfand transcending knowledge, and that’s where we dif-fer,” said Goodmanson.
Each class begins with scripture. Music played duringthe session often mirrors its message, like grace or for-giveness. Terms like chakra – the name given to sevenareas of energy in the body recognized in traditionalyoga – are explained as man’s attempt to articulate God’screation.
“Our emphasis is on spirituality,” said Goodmanson,who leads classes at St. Stephen’s Church in Edina, ElimLutheran Church in Robbinsdale and Trinity Lutheran

Edina property owners mayescape flooding.
As of Monday, April 4, theoutlook in the city hadimproved, said Edina UtilityEngineer Jesse Struve, who isleading flood response efforts.
In mid-March, based onhydrologic models from theMinnehaha and Nine MileCreek watershed districts, thecity identified approximately100 properties at-risk for flood-ing. City crews began work tofill 26,000 sandbags to protectstructures on those properties.
“We hit one of the better sce-narios projected based on themodeling we saw,” said Struve.“It was a slower snow melt dueto cold temperatures and wedidn’t get some of the addition-al rain they were calling for.”
He said a minor rain eventover the weekend also did nothave lasting effects.

Edina Animal Control:Do not leave small petsoutside unattendedBY KATIE MINTZ • SUN NEWSPAPERS
The City of Edina is advising resi-dents to keep an eye on their small petsafter a recent coyote attack – likely thefirst in the city.
Resident Linda Davis said she let Ruby,the family’s miniature dachshund, intotheir fenced backyard near Pamela Parkjust before 10 a.m. Thursday, March 31.
She went into the bathroom to brushher teeth and when she turned the wateroff just minutes later, she heard Rubyyelping.
“It happened so fast,” said Davis.“She wasn’t out there for three minutes.People just have to be really careful.”
Davis said as soon as she ran into theyard, the coyote let go of Ruby and jumpedover the back fence “like it was nothing.”The dog suffered six puncture wounds.
She was placed on antibiotics and painmedication, but will be OK, said Davis.
“We’re lucky,” she said. According tomedia reports, another small dog diedafter a Feb. 17 attack in a St. Louis Parkbackyard.
Edina Animal Control Officer TimHunter said residents should not leavesmall pets outside or unsupervised forlong periods of time.
Hunter said coyotes are naturallypresent year-round in the city and aremost active at dawn and dusk. While thecity doesn’t track coyote sightings, heestimated there to be about a dozenactive in the Edina.
Coyote sightings have also beenreported in several other suburbanareas. According to the MinnesotaDepartment of Natural Resources, popu-lations are establishing and increasingin the Twin Cities metro area.
Recently there have been regularsightings in the Pamela Park and MelodyLake areas in Edina. Last fall, the cityalerted residents about a family of coy-

otes living near Merilane in north Edina.In his seven years with the city, however,Hunter said this was the first report heheard of a coyote attacking a pet.
“It’s not a common event by anystretch, but if you’ve got small pets, don’tput them out unsupervised,” said Hunter.
Coyotes are opportunistic hunters, hesaid, and the one that attacked Ruby saw“something small and short legged – abite-sized morsel – that probably lookedlike a good idea at the time.” Coyotesavoid people. There have been no report-ed attacks on people in the state.
He said the easiest way for people toprotect their small pets is to supervisethem when outside. Coyotes are easilycapable of jumping 5-foot fences, hesaid.
Davis said this winter, a neighboralso reported seeing a coyote, but shedidn’t know of any other sightings inher heavily trafficked area just offFrance Avenue. It hadn’t been a concernbefore, but following the attack, she willno longer let Ruby out alone.
“Because we had a fenced yard she’sbeen able to play around and chase thechipmunks and squirrels pretty freelybut she won’t be able to now,” said Davis.“You have to be really careful.”
Edina Animal Control is monitoringthe situation. Coyote sightings can bereported to Edina Animal Control at 952-826-0494. If an immediate response isrequired, call 911.

lowing tips for residents concerned aboutthe presence of coyotes in their neighbor-hood.

Sen. Amy Koch addressEdina, Bloomington, EP, Richfield chambersBY KATIE MINTZ • SUN NEWSPAPERS
Between Senate approval of bills withcuts to higher education and health andhuman services spending, SenateMajority Leader Amy Koch, R-Buffalo,addressed local business leaders.
Koch spoke on her party’s efforts toclose the budget deficit without raisingtaxes and other business-friendly meas-ures at a joint meeting of theBloomington, Eden Prairie, Edina andRichfield chambers of commerceWednesday, March 30.
Chamber members said so far they arepleased with direction of the current leg-islative session, now past the halfway point.
“There’s plenty going on at the state thatimpacts all of us,” said Pat MulQueeny,Eden Prairie Chamber president, follow-ing the luncheon at the Edina CountryClub. “Overall it’s been an aggressiveapproach trying to get things done early.”
Koch said the current focus at the cap-ital is balancing the state budget. Thisyear, the Senate set its earliest budget tar-get in history asking for budget bills to bethrough committee by March 25.
Those bills, and their House compan-ions, are now getting votes on the respec-tive floors, something Koch said doesn’tusually until late April or May. Thatallows extra time for discussion asdetails are hammered out in conferencecommittees before the bills are sent toDemocratic-Farmer-Labor Gov. MarkDayton’s desk, she said.
The GOP-proposed budget does notincrease taxes. Koch said the budgetshould fit within the state’s projectedrevenue of about $34 billion – the sameamount spent last biennium. Dayton’sproposed budget increases spending toabout $37.4 billion.
“We believe it’s important for the gov-ernment to live within its means,” saidKoch, adding the projected $5 billionbudget deficit is due to an assumedincrease in spending.
She said one of the fastest growingareas of spending – and most likely forreform – is health and human services.The budget bill approved by the SenateWednesday afternoon would ban statespending to enact the federal health careoverhaul unless the U.S. Supreme Courtupholds the law. Koch told chamber mem-bers that if any state can handle its ownhealth care it’s Minnesota, home to MayoClinic, the University of Minnesota andother renowned institutions.

“Let us keep our money. Let us spendit as we see fit,” said Koch.
Koch also spoke on her three overar-ching priorities for the session: creatinga business-friendly climate to boost jobcreation, making the government livewithin its means, and making it moreefficient and cost effective.
“The best remedy for a bad statebudget is a thriving economy,” she said.
She gave an overview of relatedmeasures already taken this session,among them bills signed by the governorallowing alternative licensing for teach-ers and streamlining the environmentalpermitting process.
“They are trying to be very pro-busi-ness, which we haven’t heard in a longtime,” said Arrie Larsen Manti, EdinaChamber president.
According to Tony Kwilas, director ofenvironmental policy at the MinnesotaChamber, the chamber had been work-ing for three years to see efficienciesbrought to the permitting process.
“When you do a comparison, some-times unfortunately we take a little bitlonger than other states,” Kwilas said.“This year through the leadership ofthe Legislature as well as the governorwe put some pretty substantial changes
in place to help move the processalong.”
In addition, Koch said streamlinedHouse and Senate committees are alsomaking the legislation process better forbusiness. GOP leadership reduced thenumber of House committees from 36 to24, and Senate committees from 25 to 16,at the beginning of the session.
“Business people do not have the timeto go over to the capital and sit in com-mittee hearings through the course ofthe week,” said Maureen Scallen Failor,Bloomington Chamber executive direc-tor. “The process has definitely beenimproved. They’ve made it more effi-cient and more effective.”
As the state’s first female majorityleader, and the first Republican to holdthe post in 38 years, Koch also spokeabout the historic wave of Republicansupport last election. She said of the 60freshman legislators in the House andSenate, 54 are Republicans.
Richfield Chamber President StevenLindgren said the high number of fresh-man in the majority means fresh earswilling to listen to suggestions and con-cerns from the private sector.
“There’s a new and exciting focus onhow free enterprise can flourish in thisstate that hasn’t been quite as evident inyears past,” Lindgren said.

Grandview Districtplanning kicks off
If you’re like me, theGrandview District of Edina isa part of every day of your life.As a Highlands neighborhoodresident, I use the district toaccess a whole range of goodsand services – from groceries togasoline, coffee to car repair,bakery goods to banking, pizzato package delivery, haircuts tohardware, the drug store to thedry cleaners. It is the commer-cial center for my neighbor-hood and much of our commu-nity.
It is also the civic center ofour community. City Hall andthe police station lie at one endof the district, the library andsenior center at the other. Thebuses that transport Edina’skids to and from school emergeeach morning from the schoolbus garage. One of Edina’sliquor stores and a parkingramp nobody seems to knowabout are located in the districton city property. All told, over athird of the land in the districtis publicly owned.
Last year, the city’s PublicWorks facility – which hadoccupied 3.3 acres at the cornerof Eden and Arcadia in the dis-trict – was vacated when a newfacility was completed in thesouthwest part of the city. TheCity Council, recognizing theopportunity created by thechange, initiated a process toguide future redevelopment ofthe old public works site andthe entire district.
The initial phase of theprocess featured extraordinarypublic participation. It was ledby a Community AdvisoryTeam that included representa-tives from city boards and com-missions, the school district,business and property ownersin the district, and interested
residents of our community.Half of the 18 members of theteam were appointed by resi-dents who attended the meetingkicking off the process.
Ten Edina residents whowork as design professionalsalso volunteered their time toassist the Community AdvisoryTeam and together, these 28people met 10 times in 20 dayslast April and May to develop avision for the future of theGrandview District. Thatvision is summarized in sevenGuiding Principles that arepart of a report approved by theEdina City Council late lastyear. A copy of the report isavailable on the city’s website,cityofedina.com.
Now it’s time to begin workon turning those principlesinto a Small Area Plan thatwill provide a developmentframework for the district.Although we are fortunate(thanks to a MetropolitanCouncil grant) to be able toengage expert professionalassistance as we pursue thissecond phase of the planningprocess, we intend for theprocess to continue to be led bycommunity stakeholders.
To that end, we’re lookingfor additional communitymembers – residents, propertyowners and business owners –to engage in the planningprocess. If you’ve been lookingfor a way to participate in shap-ing the future of our communi-ty, this is your chance. Pleasejoin us 7 p.m. Thursday, April14, at Edina City Hall, 4801 W.50th St., as we continue plan-ning the future of Edina’sGrandview District.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Address area’shomelessnessTo the editor:
During this long, cold winterwe endured, I went to bed manysnowy evenings thinking aboutthe 1,000 or so individuals inour state that were turned awayeach night in our state’s home-less shelters. Knowing thatroughly half that number waschildren and youth was evenmore heartbreaking.
Homelessness is not just anurban problem. We have peoplein our southern suburban com-munities in need of housing. In2010 alone, more than 100 youthin Edina, Richfield andBloomington were precariouslyhoused and sought supportiveservices.
We as Minnesotans can dobetter. Not only is it the moralthing to help find housing forour community’s most vulnera-ble members, it is the smartthing to do. It is roughly fivetimes more costly for our coun-ty when a family stays in a shel-ter over a year’s time versuswhen it provides services tohelp that family get into morepermanent housing.
Unfortunately, our currentstate budget proposal could jeop-ardize many of these supportiveservices. If you are concernedabout how potential cuts wouldaffect not only those withouthomes, but also affect the vitali-ty of our whole city, please con-sider attending “Homelessnessin our Community (Edina andBloomington)” 8:30-10 a.m.Saturday, April 9, at ColonialChurch of Edina. We all benefitwhen our neighbors are able tolead more stable and healthylives.

Thanks for takingstand on genocideTo the editor:
Sen. Geoff Michel (R-Edina)and Sen. Sandy Pappas (DFL-St.Paul) recently introduced legis-lation to increase genocideawareness and prevention inMinnesota. Their bipartisanbill will commemorate April ofevery year as GenocideAwareness and PreventionMonth.
In the 20th century alone,nearly 200 million people per-ished in genocides and othermass atrocities. Refugees fromthe Holocaust and genocides inCambodia, Bosnia, Rwanda andDarfur live in Minnesota, as dorefugees from other brutal con-flicts that have targeted inno-cent civilians.
Minnesota legislators havetaken a strong stand againstgenocide, unanimously passinga bill in 2007 to divest state pub-lic pension funds from compa-nies complicit in funding theDarfur genocide. Edina passeda similar bill in 2008 and Edinabecame the third city in thenation, following Chicago andSan Francisco, to pass an anti-genocide resolution.
A companion bill was alsorecently introduced in theMinnesota House ofRepresentatives. We hope thatReps. Keith Downey (R-Edina)and Pat Mazarol (R-Bloomington) will support ourdistrict in these importanthuman rights efforts.

Hi, I’m Danand I’d like tohear from youBY DANIEL CALLAHAN • SUN NEWSPAPERS
A little over a month ago, I made adecision some of you might fault me for:I moved from a land of sunshine, palmtrees and near perpetual summer toreturn to Minnesota. In March. Winter.
I know, I know, what was I thinking?But, after nearly three years of kicking‘round the Arizona desert, I decided it wastime for a homecoming.
I came back for a number of reasons,not the least of which was to take theopportunityto work withthe SunCurrent staff to pro-vide yourcommuni-ties with theinformation you want, need and havecome to expect from our publications. Ormaybe it was those 120-degree days in thesummer that make your skin feel like it’smelting. Either one, I guess.
Minnesota is where I’m from, throughand through, a fact I have been remindedof on numerous occasions since I left.From colleagues making mention of mydecidedly moderate bent in opinion writ-ing to sources, customers and friends tak-ing pains to point out the extended vowelsthat make a Minnesoooota accent so obvi-ous, reminders of where I came from werea daily occurrence.
None of us exist in a vacuum, no one isexempt from the influences of the peopleand places that we’ve grown up with. Asmuch as I am a reflection of the Midwestculture I grew up in — something peoplein Arizona would not let me forget — thisnewspaper reflects your community and ifthere’s important something we’re miss-ing, we want to know as soon as possible.
So, I want to hear from you. An editor Ionce worked for was fond of remindingthe grunts in the newsroom the only waywe’d know how a story was received washow many people called the paper. Whenyou love a story, let us know. When some-thing really gets you riled up, write us aletter. If you couldn’t care less either way,I still want to know about it.
So give me a call at 763-424-7352, leave acomment on our website, shoot me an e-mail to [email protected] or, heck,if you’re in the neighborhood, stop by theoffice to chat. I’d love to hear from you.
Use sidewalks for safetyTo the editor:
Edina has 25 miles of sidewalks. Yet,on any given day, from pre-dawn untilafter nightfall, joggers and walkers usethe streets for their exercise. Often ingroups or accompanied by dogs oryoung children in strollers, they create ahazard for themselves and drivers.
There really are two problems with thisstreet activity. First, it’s against the law.Where there are sidewalks that are “acces-sible and usable,” runners and walkersmust use those sidewalks, not the roadway(Minnesota Statutes, Sec. 169.21, Subd. 5).Doing otherwise is a petty misdemeanor.
But just as important, even if joggersand walkers play it safe and try to do theright things on the road, such as travelingon the “wrong side of the road” towardoncoming traffic, wearing reflective orother bright clothing and obeying trafficsigns, the street is still not a safe place to be.
This is especially the case with today’sdistracted drivers, who are often multi-tasking and not watching the roadway.
Street joggers and walkers also create
unnecessary risks for drivers, often by forc-ing them to travel in the oncoming lane oftraffic in order to go safely around them.
The U.S. Department of Transportationdoes not identify street joggers and walk-ers in its pedestrian injury and fatality sta-tistics, but undoubtedly they account forsome of the 4,091 pedestrians – about 11every day – who died in 2009.
So, joggers and walkers, please usethe sidewalks whenever they are pass-able, for everyone’s safety.

Keep creeks cleanTo the editor:
Nine Mile Creek, at first glance, is just alittle creek, but plunge under the waves andyou will be introduced to a new side of thislittle creek. It is the home of Minnesota’sstate turtle and many other endangeredspecies, and it’s weird how there’s no oceanin sight yet the creek is considered salt water.
At a local creek cleanup, there weresome interesting treasures pulled out ofthe lovely little creek including plenty ofgarbage, a Chinese candy wrapper and a$5 bill. Now how can all these problems
go down the drain? Well, it’s simple. Itstarts with a simple storm drain.
By clearing all the garbage, leaves anddebris away from the storm drain, it willreduce the amount of foreign substancesentering the creek. This in turn will makeproperties on the creek more desirable,create a safe habitat for native animals andjust make a more pleasant environment.

Winter tennis, anyone?To the editor:
Anybody ready for tennis yet? If youdrive by our tennis courts you will noticethe nets are still up. I finally found out whyafter asking City Hall. The ParksDepartment decided to leave them up, withthe support of the former city manager, fora trial winter because some tennis playerswanted to play longer. So after sitting inthree feet of snow all winter don’t wonderwhy they might have to replace them.After all, it’s only the taxpayers’ money!

‘Create Your Own Story’theme has new meaningBY PHUOC THI MINH TRAN • GUEST COLUMNIST
Do you know that the snail was thefastest animal in the world long ago? Orhow an elderly loving couple in Japansurvived winter with little food but bigheart?
As a librarian and a respected story-teller, I bring alive my favorite stories andtales from around the world at many cul-tural events for children and families.Today I love to introduce the 398.2 Sectionin public libraries, where folktales, fairytales, fables and legends are located.
The unique folktales collection is theone I hold most near and dear to myheart. My parents taught me how to livea virtuous life and do good deedsthrough oral stories. My grandparentsused traditional folktales to teach morallessons and to pass down values to theyounger generation.
Today I tell stories and Vietnamesefolktales to engage my children to learnabout Vietnam, its people, and culturethrough five virtues: nhan (compas-
sion), le(rituals), nghia (righteousness),tri(wisdom) and tin (trust).
My oldest daughter has said, “Beforebed each night, my parents did not read‘Good Night Moon’ to me. Instead, grow-ing up, I would fall asleep to the story ofa girl who would ride around on a giantturtle named Mimi and do good deeds.”
Telling stories is a treasure shared. I
feel so blessed to have the chance to tellstories each night to my children. I feelso lucky to have access to the beautifulcollection of folktales from around theworld at Hennepin County libraries.
Many immigrant families have root-ed their lives in America and around theworld. While the first generation hasstrong connections with their heritage,
a language and culture gap is wideningbetween the elders and the younger gen-erations. The rich folktale collection atthe library can foster bonding andimprove communication between gener-ations, and be a vehicle to bridge the gapbetween various countries.
National Library Week is being cele-brated April 10-16. This year’s theme is“Create Your Own Story.” Minnesotaand the library have been an importantpart of my “story.” I hope you discoverhow the library can help you create yourown story, too.
Tran is a librarian at Hennepin CountyLibrary – Augsburg Park in Richfield. Sheleft Vietnam in 1975 after the governmentclosed the law school she was attendingwith the fall of Saigon. She spent 10months in a refugee camp in Malaysiabefore coming to America, arriving inMinnesota in 1984.

BY SUE WEBBER • SUN NEWSPAPERS
The Perpich Center for ArtsEducation in Golden Valley, a tuition-freestatewide public residential arts highschool for juniors and seniors, could bedissolved or forced to become a charterschool under HF1078, a bill introduced inthe Minnesota House of Representatives.
Rep. Pat Garofalo of Farmington, R-36B, chair of the House Education
Finance Committee, is sponsoring the bill.There is no companion bill in the Senate.
The school, a state agency at 6125Olson Highway in Golden Valley, wasestablished in 1987 by the Legislatureand named for the late Rudy Perpich,former governor of Minnesota. Theagency functions, as well as the 20-year-old arts high school, occupy a 33-acrecampus that formerly housed GoldenValley Lutheran College.
The Arts High School offers course-work in six art areas: dance, literaryarts, media arts (photography and cine-ma), music, theater, and visual arts.
It is open to all 11th- and 12th-graderswho live in Minnesota and apply byaudition, and now enrolls 300 studentsfrom all over the state. About half live inon-campus dorms at the school; the restare commuters.
But it’s more than a high school. The
Golden Valley campus houses the cen-ter’s Professional Development andResearch Group, and a library thatincludes materials for K-12 educators.
Students, teachers, artists, schoolsand arts organizations throughoutMinnesota are served through grants,research and professional develop-ment programs. The PCAE also works

in partnership with the Department ofEducation to help design and imple-ment K-12 arts standards.
The proposal to change the center’sstatus is not a new one. Former Gov. TimPawlenty first proposed changing thePerpich to a charter school during the2009 legislative session.
“A number of people then went overand talked with the governor and his staffabout the value of the Perpich Center, andit wound up being supported,” said KevynBurger, communications director for thePerpich Center for Arts Education.
This time, Burger said, “It will be a longprocess, fairly intensive. There will be a lotmore discussion before a lot is resolved.”
Susan Mackert, executive director ofPerpich, said, “In this year of difficultfinancial issues for the state of Minnesota,all public dollars are being closely scruti-nized. That includes funding for thePerpich Center for Arts Education.”
However, she added, “The PerpichCenter has always enjoyed strong, bipar-tisan support. I have no doubt that thiswill continue. In this time of tight budg-ets and cutbacks, the resources and sup-port of the Perpich Center is critical.”
The Perpich Center has a $7 millionannual budget. The first-year cost savingto the state would be about $4.7 millionin severance costs for agency employees,
according to Session Weekly. If itbecame a charter school, the annual costin the second and subsequent yearswould be about $2.5 million in lease aidand start-up aid.
Burger said administrators at thePerpich Center are in close contact withlegislators about the issue.
“There is not an extra amount of fearor anxiety here,” Burger said. “It’s a del-icate process, and we’re letting it unfold.We’re trying to be shrewd in how weapproach it.”
She noted that the House bill doesn’taddress the center’s outreach activities,but only the high school.
Separate from the center’s operatingfunds, Burger said, the Legislature invitedthe school to apply for legacy funds that arebeing used, for example, for arts integra-tion projects in northwestern Minnesota.
“Our facility is used for far more thanjust high school activities,” Burger said.
For example, a media arts workshop atthe school drew 30 teachers from all overthe state during spring break, she said.
“We connected with 13,000 Minnesotaeducators last year through confer-ences,” Burger said.
The center’s grants enable artists tovisit state high schools as well, she said.
Burger noted that 50 legislators arenew to the body this year.
“Part of their process is learningabout what we do,” she said.

Victim Bob Kuntze ofEdina remembered atsentencing hearingBY KATIE MINTZ • SUN NEWSPAPERS
Nothing has been the same for JuneKuntze of Edina since her husband diedlast fall in a fatal drunk driving accident.
“Our world has changed forever,” shesaid at the sentencing hearing forChristian Neal Rogat, 41, of Edina.
His blood alcohol content was 0.15percent – nearly twice the legal limit –when he turned his SUV into the path ofRobert “Bob” Kuntze’s moped scooterSept. 1, 2010, before fleeing the scene.
“He will eventually get his life backbut I will never get Bob back or willRyan get his dad back,” said Kuntze,Friday, April 1, at Hennepin CountyDistrict Court.
Rogat was sentenced to 41 months inprison on one count criminal vehicularhomicide. He previously pleaded guilty
to four felony charges – two counts ofcriminal vehicular homicide, one countof operating a vehicle in a negligentmanner while under the influence ofalcohol, and one count of operating avehicle with a blood alcohol concentra-tion over .08 percent – in January.
The courtroom was packed with sup-porters for Kuntze, a nurse, and her 22-year-old son, Ryan, who is mentallyretarded, legally blind, has autism andhas suffered from kidney cancer.
She described her husband of 29years as “an exceptional father to Ryan.”
She said Ryan looked forward to hisreturn from work each evening, whenthe two would play games, walk to thepark or ride a tandem bicycle with Ryanon the back. On Saturdays, they ranerrands together and on Sunday attend-ed church. Following his death at 53, sheplaced Ryan in a group home becauseshe cannot care for him alone.
Kuntze and Assistant CountyAttorney John Halla asked Judge Mark
Wernick for the full presumptive 48-month prison sentence.
“A tough sentence won’t bring Bobback but may send a message to othersto not drink and drive,” said Kuntze.
Halla said a series of decisions madeby Rogat led to Bob Kuntze’s death. Hesaid Rogat had been drinking at hishome when he got in his vehicle to getmore beer that September evening.
“He chose to not walk to the SuperAmerica. He chose to not bike. He choseto not call a friend. He chose to driveeven though the Super America is notone mile away,” said Halla.
On his way home, at about 6:25 p.m.,he hit the scooter at the intersection ofVernon Avenue and Hansen Road inEdina. Bob Kuntze was thrown into thewindshield before hitting the roadway,according to police reports. He wastransported to Hennepin CountyMedical Center where he died of bluntforce injuries. Rogat fled the scene.
“He drove home, he parked and thenhe chose to have another beer,” saidHalla. “It was only thanks to a goodSamaritan he was located.”
A witness to the accident saw thevehicle that evening and notified police.According to the charges against him,Rogat pulled the vehicle partiallybehind some bushes at his home. Whilebeing transported to the Edina PoliceDepartment, he told officers he “freakedout and left.”
Public Defender Mark Cosiminiargued his client’s low IQ and verbalcomprehension warranted a downwarddurational or dispositional departurefrom the 41-57 month prison term in sen-tencing guidelines.
According to Cosimini, Rogat’s IQ isone point shy of mild mental retarda-tion and his comprehension is equiva-lent to that of a 10- to 12-year-old, basedon a psychological evaluation. He saidRogat has limited coping abilities and adeficit in reasoning.
He painted the picture of a man whohas a difficult time getting by on hisown. Cosimini said Rogat has had twofailed marriages and suffers fromdepression. His sister manages his

Edina Public Schools have “GoneGoogle,” with a billboard near the inter-section of Interstate 494 and PortlandAvenue in Richfield to prove it.
The billboard, which went upMonday, March 28, was the searchengine’s way of announcing that theschool district was selected as one of 10global winners in its “Gone Google”story contest.
The contest was open to users ofGoogle Apps, a suite of web-based appli-cations that allow individuals the abilityto access, collaborate and share infor-mation anytime, anywhere. Contestentrants were asked to explain howtheir organization uses Google Apps andwhy they should be featured in the“Gone Google” ad campaign, whichincluded free publicity on a billboard.
Molly Schroeder, Edina Public Schoolstechnology integration specialist, is aGoogle-certified teacher, Google Apps forEducation-certified trainer and worked onthe launch of Google Apps in the schooldistrict at the beginning of the school year.
“When I saw the blog post calling forentries to share our story about howGoogle Apps has changed the way that
we approach learning, I thought we real-ly had a great story to share,” Schroedersaid. “Google Apps for Education hastransformed the way we are able to helpstudents and staff engage in learning.”
This year, Edina Public Schools staffand students have been using Google Docs,Google Sites, Picasa, Blogger and GoogleMaps to work collaboratively. Schroedersaid teachers are better equipped to stayrelevant in the evolving world of technolo-gy and provide tools that allow students towork in the 21st Century.
finances and he enjoys building modelcars and airplanes.
“He has chosen a humble life, a law-abiding life and to live in the shelter ofhis mother,” said Cosimini.
Following the accident, he said Rogatunderwent chemical dependency train-ing and has support for rehabilitation inthe community. Several of Rogat’s fami-ly members were in attendance at thehearing.
Halla said Rogat had managed tofunction in society for 40 years, workingfor 11 years as a cashier at a homeimprovement store, fathering two chil-dren and obtaining a driver’s license. Hesaid Rogat knew enough that he’d be introuble if he stayed at the scene of theaccident.
“The defendant’s actions reflect poorjudgment rather than impaired judg-ment due to a low IQ,” said Halla.
Wernick said after reviewing psycho-logical evaluations and re-listening toRogat’s interview with police the nightof the accident, he did not believe therewas reason to depart from guidelinesbased on the defendant’s mental capabil-ities.
He said he sentenced Rogat at the bot-tom of the range because he was cooper-
ative, admitted his guilt and did not haveany prior record. Under the sentence,Rogat is eligible for supervised releaseafter 28 months. He received credit forseven days served. No restitution wasimposed.
Wernick said he also took intoaccount the numerous letters sent onbehalf of the victim. At the hearing,June Kuntze’s sister Carol Kreif readexcerpts from a few of the roughly 30impact statements submitted by family,members of the special needs communi-ty and co-workers at Alliant Tech, whereBob Kuntze was director of benefits.
They described him as a caring fatherand friend with a sense humor, kindheart, patience and compassion.
“He was loved and respected by every-one who came in contact with him,” saidKreif.
Before Wernick delivered the sen-tence, Rogat was asked if he would liketo say anything.
“It’s hard for me, really hard for me,”he said quietly. “I feel bad.”
Following the sentencing, Rogat wastaken into custody. Kuntze said sherespects the sentencing guidelines, andforgives and feels sorry for Rogat.
“It’s a tragedy that shouldn’t havehappened and hopefully we can all learnsomething from it,” she said.

Compostable yardwaste bags required
With spring weather finally on itsway, the city of Edina is reminding resi-dents about a new state law that requires
yard and organic waste to be collected incompostable bags for pick-up.
The Minnesota law has been in effectsince the first of the year. Rather than tra-ditional black plastic waste bags, residentsmust use paper bags, compostable plasticbags – these are typically clear in color – orcarts provided by a refuse hauler. Thebags can be purchased from most local gro-cery and home improvement stores.
Alternatively, Edina residents cancompost their own yard waste or drop itoff at a Hennepin County compost dis-posal site.

As of Thursday, March 31, he said thecity had filled approximately 16,000sandbags and delivered about 3,000 toseven homes labeled as at-risk. Bothcreeks have largely stayed within theirbanks, he said.
“We’re kind of in a holding patternright now,” said Struve. “It’s highlydependent on rainfall and conditions atLake Minnetonka.”
Telly Mamayek, communicationsmanager for the Minnehaha CreekWatershed District, said the district isclosely monitoring the lake level. Thedistrict operates Grays Bay Dam, whichregulates flow of water from the lakeinto Minnehaha Creek.
Mamayek said it’s a balancing act toprevent flooding along the lakeshoreand the creek downstream. As ofMonday, April 4, the lake had reached itshigh of 930.22 feet, the point at whichwater crests the spillway at the dam.
“We’re closely watching the weatherforecast and adjusting the flow at thedam based on the forecast,” she said.
Kevin Bigalke, Nine Mile CreekWatershed District administrator, saidconditions on that creek had alsoimproved over the past week.
“There will still be some flooding onthe creek but I don’t think it’s going tobe as significant as what we were initial-ly anticipating with the modeling,” hesaid March 31.
The Nine Mile Creek WatershedDistrict has been proactive by publiciz-ing the potential risk of flooding toensure residents are ready, he said.
“At this point most of those peopleare pretty prepared for it, so it’s a matterof wait and see,” Bigalke said.
Struve said owners of the at-riskproperties may still request sandbagsfrom the city. On Nine Mile Creek, theproperties are generally locatedbetween Brook Drive and West 70thStreet and by Creek Valley Road. OnMinnehaha Creek, they are by CascadeLane, 56th Street, Woodcrest Drive,Woodland Road, Abbott Place andZenith Avenue. Residences aroundArrowhead Lake, Lake Cornelia andGarrison Ponds are also at-risk.
The city has detailed maps and linksto flooding resources on its website, city-ofedina.com.

COMMUNITY LINE
Church in Waconia. “It’s great yoga,don’t get me wrong, but we focus onbuilding intimacy with Christ.”
She was introduced to Holy Yogawhen she began attending a church inPhoenix, with a sports ministry thatoffered Christ-based yoga every day ofthe week.
“My life just began to transform,”said Goodmanson, who at the time wasstudying to be an injury massage ther-apist. “My day-to-day stress just beganto melt away. My faith increased expo-nentially.”
She was introduced through afriend to Phoenix-based Holy Yogafounder Brooke Boon, and soon afterwas an employee. Boon will be in townto lead a two-day Holy Yoga workshopin Edina April 15 and 16.
Holy Yoga has grown quickly sinceits beginning in 2005, said Jo AnnBauer, communications director. Theformer KSTP reporter moved southlast year to join its staff.
“We have 325 certified instructorsnow in 38 states on three continents,”said Bauer. “Arizona and Minnesotaare the hubs that have grown thefastest.”
Half of Holy Yoga’s six-membercore staff live in the state, includingWayzata resident Goodmanson, whomoved to Minnesota in 2009.
Holy Yoga trains instructors to leadChrist-centered yoga. Instructors thenstart their own practices. Most teachout of a church and their classes aredonation-based.
“It’s the trifecta – an intense physi-cal, emotional and spiritual experi-ence,” said Bethany Connelly, aninstructor at Christ PresbyterianChurch in Edina and Spirit of theLake Yoga in Excelsior. “It leaves youfeeling rejuvenated connected andinspired.”
At her noon Thursday class, March31, in Edina, participant Jenni Moser,a Robbinsdale resident and employeeat Edina-based Regis Corporation, saidit offers a welcome break during abusy day.
“The stress just disappears,” shesaid.
But not all Christians are on boardwith the practice. Goodmanson saidthere is a degree of controversy thatfollows Holy Yoga.
“There are a lot of misnomers thatyoga is a related to or belongs to anoth-er religion,” she said.
Some believe yoga is connectedwith Hinduism because yoga has beenincorporated as part of that religion.But Goodmanson said yoga actuallypredates religion. She said those whopractice yoga do not have to worry thatthey are worshipping another god.
Chris Enstad, senior pastor at Elim,said it’s quite the opposite.
“We’re not doing this to worshipourselves and we’re not going to leadanybody off the path,” he said. “Forme, I feel it’s like the one time someonepreaches to me. It really fills my cupback up again.”
Enstad began doing yoga at a seculargym to relieve stress after being laid offfrom another congregation close to ayear ago. When he joined Elim this fall,he no longer had time to attend, butrealized he could bring yoga to him.
In the month that Elim has offeredHoly Yoga, he’s seen several new faces.
“There’s so many other ways toexperience God, think about God anddeepen our relationship with him. Ourbodies have been the most neglectedpart of that equation throughout histo-ry,” he said.
Enstad points to a piece of scrip-ture, Mark 12:30, in which Jesus callsfor people “to love the Lord your Godwith all your heart and with all yoursoul and with all your mind and withall your strength.”

to a good start in its spring golf season. C.J.DeBerg, an Edina High graduate, helpedQueens to eighth place in the annual PizzaInn-Barton Intercollegiate Golf Tournament.DeBerg finished fourth in the individualstandings with a 36-hole total of 144.DeBerg’s coach during his career at EdinaHigh School was Phil Finanger.
Joe GleasonThe former Edina High boys hockey cap-
tain will play in the NCAA Frozen Four withthe University of North Dakota FightingSioux. North Dakota has a 32-8-1 recordgoing into the Frozen Four, which will beginThursday, April 7, at Xcel Energy Center.Gleason has played in 22 games this season,scoring one goal and adding three assists.

player, will skate for Notre Dame’s men’s teamin the NCAA Frozen Four this week at XcelEnergy Center. Lee has played in all 43 of NotreDame’s games this winter.

Whitney TaneyThe University of Michigan women’s tennis
team is ranked eighth in the country with EdinaHigh graduate Whitney Taney as co-captain.Taney was a winner in both singles and dou-bles in the Wolverines’ recent victory over18th-ranked Vanderbilt.

Stephanie Chapek brings a wealth ofexperience to her new position as headgirls volleyball coach at Edina High.
Activities director John Soma hiredChapek after interviewing several can-didates last week.
Chapek has been anassistant in the highschool volleyball pro-grams at Edina, Hopkinsand BloomingtonKennedy.
As a player, she wasan All-American at the University ofMinnesota. She went on to train with theUSA National Team and then played pro-fessionally in Europe.
Chapek replaces former Hornet headcoach Annie (Adamczak) Glavan.
The Edina volleyball program hashad some success in past years, includ-ing a good run under Glavan last season.Former coaches Jeff Krause and TomWeko kept the Hornets competitive, but
they never made it to the state tourna-ment.
Why hasn’t Edina ever risen as a vol-leyball power?
Well, there has been a youth program,but from my perspectiveit has basically been low-key.
Success in any sportstarts at the youth level.Just look at Edina soccerand Edina hockey. Youwon’t find better feeder
programs anywhere in Minnesota.
Hanging up the bladesFormer Edina High hockey great Dan
Carlson has finished his career as aEuropean pro player.
Carlson recently ended his career asthe top scorer in England Elite Leaguehistory with more than 500 points.
In the fall of 2004, Carlson joined theCoventry Blaze. He was with the Blaze
for six years, but left to play one year inMunich, Germany.
“You only have to look at Dan’s trophycabinet to realize what impact he hashad on our club,” said Blaze head coachPaul Thompson. “We will miss Danenormously.”
Carlson, 31, was captain of the Blazeat the time of his retirement.
After completing his career at EdinaHigh, he played collegiate hockey at theUniversity of Notre Dame from 1997through 2001.
Success for DeBergsC.J. DeBerg of Edina is having a great
year with the Queens University men’sgolf team.
Queens, located in Charlotte, N.C., isa school with a solid golf tradition, andDeBerg is certainly adding to it.
He had 18-hole round of 70 and 68 ona par-72 course to finish third in theCarolina Sands Tournament last week.
DeBerg will lead Queens into theConference Carolinas ChampionshipApril 16-19.
While C.J. DeBerg has excelled on thegolf course, his younger brother Willhas had a good spring, too.
Will helped the University of St.Thomas men’s basketball team win theNCAA Division II championship lastmonth.
Edina tennis traditionThe Edina High boys tennis team
could not have picked a much tougheropener.
Led by Erik Nordahl, the Hornets willtake on the Mounds View Mustangs at 4p.m. Tuesday, April 12, at the MoundsView High courts.
Nordahl was one half of a state doubleschampionship team in 2009. Last season,he added to his medal collection with asecond place in state Class AA singles.
Edina has had a great run under headcoach Gary Aasen with six state champi-onships since 2000.
Lake Conference tennis could beinteresting this season because everyteam has a good nucleus back from lastseason.
No. 1 singles players returning totheir respective teams are RyanErickson at Hopkins, Michael Tebon atMinnetonka and Scott Vezzosi atWayzata.
Eden Prairie has a whole host ofcapable players back from its 2010 stateClass AA championship team.
One of the biggest events of the sea-son will be the Edina InvitationalSaturday, April 30. The event includesEdina and Wayzata plus several otherstate contenders including defendingstate Class A champion Blake.
