Rush Creek student named “Little Miss Minnesota”
An 8-year-old Maple Grove girl will represent Minnesota in a national pageant.
Luca Schwartz, a third grader at Rush Creek Elementary, recently won the title of Little Miss Minnesota. She now moves on to the Little Miss United States pageant held this Fourth of July weekend in Washington, D.C.
Luca will also get to participate in the Independence Day parade on Capitol Hill. Her mom, dad, brother and sister will get to share the experience with her.
I'm looking forward to being in the parade with the president and seeing the same fireworks as him, said Luca.
Her pageant involvement started out as a whim, said Scott Schwartz, Luca's father. She became Little Miss Maple Grove last year, before winning Little Miss Minnesota this year.
This is a little different type of a pageant in that it's not so much about beauty and makeup and hair, it's more about personality, and confidence, so that was really neat to see, said Scott.
Through the pageant, Luca has also learned about helping others. She has been selling fair-trade organic Sam and Evan's coffee, which gives its proceeds to help orphaned children throughout Latin America.
Luca has a good head on her shoulders for an 8-year-old. Her favorite motto is you are born to be real, not to be perfect. She says the whole experience has been fun and is not ruling out competing in other pageants.

Rush Creek golf course closed indefinitely due to flooding
Last week’s record rainfall has caused all sorts of problems at Rush Creek Golf Club. Water woes remained visible Monday all around the course. On the 12th hole, a boat was actually being used because so much rainwater had collected on the fairway.
As a result, Rush Creek Golf Club is closed indefinitely.
Once the rains came we had to shut down, said Derek Stendahl, general manager for Rush Creek. I've been here since we opened in 96. We had a couple days where maybe we had to close down because of some water and rain, but nothing like this. This is unprecedented for us.
For Rush Creek this was the imperfect storm. Golf fans from 24 states and a few countries were ready to flock to Rush Creek to play there during Ryder Cup week.
To lose it now and around the Ryder Cup time is another blow for us, Stendahl said. This is about as bad a timing as you can get.
Because of the flooding, Rush Creek will lose tens of thousands in lost green fees and restoration costs. However, the course has weathered storms in the past and officials are not daunted by last week's record rainfall.
We'll come back, Stendahl said. We've come back from a lot of things out here. We lost 60 trees earlier in July.

Construction takes shape on Maple Grove destination park
Maple Grove is known for its shops and restaurants, but soon the city could be known for something else. By late summer, mounds of dirt near Lakeview Drive and 81st Avenue North will morph into green space, fountains and play areas. This work zone will become Central Park.
It's really a destination facility, said Chuck Stifter, Maple Grove park superintendent.
Central Park, as it will be called, will have many unique features and one of the signatures will be an ice skating trail, which will loop through the park and have lights and music to enhance the experience. There will even be a Zamboni to resurface the ice.
The skating trail will be maintained a lot like an indoor ice arena, Stifter said.
There will also be running and walking trails, including one that circles Central Park. When the weather heats up there is a place to cool off.
Another unique piece is what we call the interactive fountain, Stifter said, which is a splash plaza-style splash pad.
Central Park will be fun-centric too. There will be an eight-zone play area that should be popular with the kids.
We've got a slide zone, a swing zone, a rock climbing zone, Stifter said. A lot of things.
Central Park's footprint is more than 40 acres. Maple Grove officials believe it will be a fantastic addition to the city.
This will fill a gap I think that the public is interested in, Stifter said. A lot of opportunity here.
The Central Park construction project began in May of 2014. The price tag for the first phase for the project is between $14 and $15 million.

74th US Women’s Open Qualifier comes to Rush Creek
Some of the top female golfers are coming to Rush Creek in Maple Grove on May 7th for a US Open qualifying event.
It’s one of 25 courses hosting the one day qualifier and there is plenty at stake for those participating.
“The cool thing about this one is that the girls that qualify get to move on straight to the US Open,” said Rush Creek GM Derek Stendahl. “Some times when the men have their qualifier, they have to go to another sectional. That’s when all the tour pros get into it and it’s really tough to do. But this is kind of a unique deal. When we host it here the qualifiers will get to move onto the national championship.”
Major event
The qualifier is just another major golf event at Rush Creek.
The venue has hosted many national tournaments, including three on the LPGA.
Rush Creek also used to be home to the Minnesota Vikings annual golf tournament, and Trent Tucker’s charity event that attracted celebrities such as Charles Barkley, Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan.
