I had arrived on location at 0440 hours, and had noticed as I pulled up that a door on the lower level had been forced open. With my K-9 partner, I approached the building and observed that the door forced open led to the Life Guard locker room. I walked inside and noted that the glass sliding window leading into the concession stand area was busted out. I made an announcement that I would release my partner if anyone was still within the building refusing to come out. I then waited until the arrival of the keyholder to gain access into the other areas of the building. The key holder was Park Superintendent Dale Joseph Gregory Dob 03/14/48. Once Mr Gregory arrived, I had made yet another announcement before releasing my partner into the building for a search for suspects. It should be noted that the alarm which was silent had tripped as I had entered and set off the single motion detector. During my search, I did not locate any perpetrator(s). I then advised Mr Gregory that I would look the seen over further, and that I would then submit my report to the City of Chanhassen. Upon my inspection, I noted that the perpetrator(s) had used some large square 50 some pound bricks to vand- alize items such as the electrical meter, the water meter, a display sign, and the outer entrance door to the locker room. once inside, it appeared as if they damaged a tele- phone, a weather alert monitor, and two sliding pieces of glass. I also noted that they had pushed over several heavy rock type garbage cans, and picnic tables. I had photographed the damaged areas, to include some boot type footprints. It appeared as if there had been at least two suspects. It was somewhat difficult to try and track the subjects as there were numerous other track from snow skiers etc. I couldn't tell if the suspects had arrived and left on a snowmobile or a vehicle. I also didn't feel that my partner had indicated to me that he had any fresh tracks to track. I noted that some of the tracks that seemed to have come from the perpetrators seemed to be frozen over. I felt that it was possible that the damage had occurred some time earlier. This however doesn't explain why the alarm company had received a trip now, and not one prior to this alarm. In Conclusion, I don't feel that there is any evidence at this time pointing to a possible suspect(s). End of Report. (3) Deputy Keith J.

I trust that all of you took the time to enjoy this past holiday season. It's hard to believe that it's 1998 and while our hockey year is approximately half over, we have already begun making plans for our next season and are welcoming in another new calendar year. My father was obviously right when he told me that the older you get the faster time flies. As fast as last year went must make me a very old man. Where did 1997 go? While we are contemplating this perennial puzzle, I would like to share with you some current events within the CCHA and plans for the upcoming year. 1). New Board Position/Member. As you may be aware, our current board made a change to it by adding a new position; that of "Director of C6mmunications". After posting the position and several discussions later, I am proud to announce that Randy Mueller will be taking on this role. Randy's expertise and leadership will allow our board to move even faster toward reaching our objectives, while keeping our 'finger of the pulse' of our association. Although the role will go through some definition modification, Randy's main responsibilities will remain in a communication and marketing function. In addition, Randy will also be leading a task force to determine what factors keep kids out of hockey to help us identify what issues we need to address and what 'markets' we need to focus on. I am very pleased to make this announcement. 2). New Treasurer. Some of you may know that Dave Erickson had resigned his position in December. We are very fortunate to have named Jim Roeder as our new treasurer at our last board meeting. Jim is an experienced CPA working in Chanhassen and will be assisting us in many new ways, as well. I am delighted to have Jim join our board. 3). Strategic Planning. I have previously addressed this topic with the association but we now seem more 'stabilized' to take on the commitment that strategic planning takes. We will begin this process in the spring, which will more precisely clarify our purpose, mission, and organizational structure, roles, and goals to name a few things. Of course, our need to do this is only surpassed by our desire to be as efficient and as effective of an association as we can be. 4). New Arena. The new arena is going to make a huge difference in our development and level of play. We are making much progress but have not yet reached our fundraising goal. There is still time to turn in your pledge card if you have not done so. Please contact any of the Tri-Chairs or Jim Roeder at 906-3312 for more information. Remember the Fram Oil commercial? You can pay me now, or pay me later? Are you aware that the CCHA has committed to the $250,000 that we need to raise for the new ice sheet? In other words, if we don't raise the money that we need, we will be making up the difference by paying an increased amount for our ice time. This amount will be nearly $2/player/hour. If you do the math, the yearly increased cost will be anywhere from $80 to $140 per player~ (.just for the same ice time that we received this year). WE NEED YOUR PLEDGES! To date we have received only about 50% of our members pledge cards. Please send them in as soon as possible, and give as generously as you can or the Fram Oil slogan may become the CCHA's slogan. Well, there is so much more to tell, but not enough time. Please contact me, or any other board member, with your thoughts and suggestions on how we can make the CCHA an even better environment for all. Mites and Mini Mites would, of course be less.

I'm calling in response to the letter, and incidentally I appreciate you keeping us as homeowners in the area updated to the proceedings, and I wanted to offer some feedback regarding the extension of the parking for the Greenwood Shores Park. My opinion is that I am against, opposed to any type of expansion of parking along that street. This is a residential area that we as homeowners paid to live in. We bought into this neighborhood. The park was certainly an accouterment important to my wife, myself, and my young family and I would be opposed to the additional exposure of that park beyond the neighborhood and certainly to parking. I think in the past, in talking with other neighbors, the amount of criminal activity has increased when the traffic counts or amount of parked cars on that road has been prevalent, that has been a concern of mine. I guess basically, this is our park and we bought into the neighborhood for it to be here. We live in Greenwood Shores and that's Greenwood Shores Park. Others can look to buy in the neighborhood, but I certainly don't want people .... (message ends).

You know which one. The one with the mod- els working out, both male and fe- male, everyone with ripped abdom- inal muscles. So you pull out the rowing ma- chine you got in the 10th grade from storage in the garage, hook up the wires, the loose ends, and begin )'our road back to the world of the ~buff." Only there is a strange squeak- ing sound coming from the rusted out apparatus that worked so won- derfully those first three weeks you used it. After a feb, reps, the perspi- ration dripping down your choles- terol filledhead, you stop, rubbing one bleep. ~This hurts," you ex- claim, much to )'our own surprise. It may be time for some profession- al help. And yes, even in Chanhassen, professional help is only a phone call away. The Chanhassen Recreation Center, with its basketball and vol- leyball courts, its conference rooms and aerobics classes, its weight and exercise room have another feature that can help you achieve the type of physical shape you thought you were in when you were 19. Meg Zegil is a certified personal trainer who takes appointments for clients at the Chan Recreation Cen- ter. From clients 15 years of age to 87, she can help anyone achieve the physical fitness they crave. ~People come to me looking for direction. I help them pin-point what their goals are a-nd how they can achieve them through physical fimess," Zegil said. \¥qaile the idea of a personal train- er may seem unattainable, like something only rich clients can af- ford, that myth is quickly vanished. Zegil's expertise and 10 years as a personal trainer allow her to help her clients realize which exercises are best suited to help them reach their goals. She listens, and then makes recorrm~endations. Each client receives a first, free consultation. After that, each fitness plan is tailored to suit their person- al needs. If they need one or a doz- en sessions, it is up to the client. For many, working out at a place like the Chan Recreation Center comes easily. Many people enjoy the entire physical fitness process or riding a stationary bike, or running on the treadmill or working out their own weight lifting regimen. Others hate to work out, but force themselves, knowing the impor- tance of good cardiovascular fitness. There is a third group which plays in teams, on leagues in hockey or basketball. And finally, there are the ones who want to be in shape, but need a little help, a little extra moti- vation. Zegil said there are people who she works with on an on-going ba- sis, as they slowly wean themselves from her tutelage, eventually work- lng on their own. She said it is im- p. ortant for any fitness instructor to listen to each person, to tailor their workouts after their own lifestyles. For instance, she said, some peo- ple like using heavy weights, omers don't. Some like to run on a tread- mill, others would prefer to not. ~The people I train with on an on-going basis, they set limits, but then they albrays find new limits. They find out they will be fine while they are working out, and then attain neb' levels," Zegil said. At this time of the year, many Americans, consciously or uncon- sciously, make resolutions to get into shape. Many wait until after the holidays, while others say "Right after this big meal. Then I get into shape? The key to any fitness regimen, Zegil said, is keeping the person in- terested. After a program is estab- lished, she inquires often how they like it, how the variety of the exer- cises works for them. ~I don't want them to get bored. I try to nip that in the bud before it happens,~ she explained. Zegil dispels the notion that a personal trainer is someone who stands over their clients pushing them like a drill sergeant in the army. Instead, she says, she sets cer- tain goals and won't let people get by without attaining them. She takes a person's health history into what each person can do. There are Personal trainer Meg Zegil helps Cindy Skack of Chanhassen lift weights at the Chanhassen Recreation Center last week. strength tests and other measures to ensure that exercises that are set are not too strenuous. "I remind people that this is a lif- estyle goal. The more enjoyable it is, the easier it is for them to work out," she said. Zegil works at her own schedule, making appointments in the morn- ing andevening to work around her regular full-time job at the Univer- sit3' of Minnesota. She said the di- verse clientele makes the job fun. Often times, she can be found work- lng with a client at 5:30 a.m., and then still at the Recreation Center at 10 p.m., finishing up another workout. ZegiI moved to Chanhasse'n t~x'o )'ears ago, and recently moved to Eden Prairie, She inquired about the need for a personal trainer, setting up a free-lance operation she has today. Over the past two years, the volume continues to increase as she takes clients seven days a week. "I am more of the educational tool," Zegil said. ~It is better for them to learn more about their own health and wellness and hopefully I can share that knowledge with them." Each class by Meg Zegil or Greg Bagley, another personal trainer, are one-on-one experiences.

Yet, one of the casualties in this fall's budget cuts for the c. ky.of Chantmssen is lifeguards at Lake Ann beach. And that may have some people con- cerned. The lifeguard program at Lake Ann is mn through Min- neronka Community Educa- tion and Services (MCES). Chanhassen has contracted with MCES ever since the park opened in the 1970s. The Chanhassen Ciw Council late in 1997 cut the 522,000 expense to tn- to balance the ci~,'s bud- get. "The)- wanted staff to find ways of doing tkin~ different- lv" Todd Hoffman, park and recreation d/rector, said of the council. On the national and state level, Hoffman said, more and more lifeguard programs are being eliminar'ed for budget reasons. Parents, he said, are going ro have to start policing r. he;x own children at area lakes rather than rely on the life- guards. Lake Ann was the only lake in town that used th~ MCES life,~uard~, program. Even though no one nas called Nm about the lifeguard program being cut, Hoffman expects that there x¢21 be feed- back when the weather starts getting warmer and swimming becomes possible. "Any dine you take a long- standing (summer) program and ei/minate ir, especially in the winter, the repercussions are often delayed," he said. Hoffman was quick to note that the ciD, has not been d/s- satisfied with the lifeguards supplied by MCES.
