KSTP is reporting that Presidential candidate Herman Cain used to live in Wayzata:
“A name you might not be very familiar with. But the former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza actually leads Tim Pawlenty and Michele Bachmann in some polls.
Cain’s Minnesota twist is that he spent six years in the late 80s and early 90s working for Pillsbury in Minneapolis and living in Wayzata.
He’s winning support with solid performances in two major debates. He enjoys running against the two other Minnesotans in the race.”
From Wayzata Public Schools:
U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar’s staff will hold a forum Monday, April 20 at Plymouth Creek Elementary School at 4:30 p.m. in the media center.
This forum is part of a series of education forums throughout the state during April and May to hear Minnesotans’ thoughts on the No Child Left Behind Law, which is up for reauthorization by Congress this year.
Klobuchar wants to know what education reforms at the federal level would best serve Minnesota schools and their students.
The public is also invited to submit suggestions and find out the dates and locations of future forums online by visiting the education reform page of Klobuchar’s Web site at www.klobuchar.senate.gov/nclb.cfm. The public can also access the feedback form from the education reform link the Klobuchar’s homepage.
Plymouth Creek Elementary School is located at 16005 41st Avenue North in Plymouth.

Ward Brehm received The Presidential Citizens Medal, the country’s second-highest civilian honor, from President Bush in the Oval Office on December 10th, 2008.
The Citizens Medal is an award that was started in 1969 to recognize U.S. citizens who have performed exemplary deeds of service for the nation, according to the White House.
It is one of the highest honors the President can confer upon a civilian, second only to the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Ward Brehm received the award from the President along with twenty-two individuals, as well as one award which was presented posthumously.
From WhiteHouse.gov, “As a public servant, author, and humanitarian, Ward Brehm has committed himself to enhancing economic and social development in Africa. He has worked in partnership with the people of Africa to provide clean water to rural communities, fight poverty, and extend opportunity. The United States honors Ward Brehm for his work to replace disease and despair with healing and hope.”
