Rosemount family offers sign of thanks

Homemade sign in family’s yard honors members of military

The large homemade thank-you sign under the American flag in Tim and Sandra Pope’s Rosemount yard reflects their gratitude and frustration. After expressing respect for the military and their families, Tim Pope said re-cent patriotic holidays seem more about fun and games than gratitude and reflec-tion. “We’re in this war with Iraq, then Veterans Day and Memorial Day come around and the only thing people do is have barbecues and go on vacations,” said Tim, who grew up in Uruguay as a mis-sionary, moved back in 1993 and on 9-11 attached a huge American flag to his truck and took the day off work to watch the news coverage. “Do we, the people who don’t serve in the military, understand what they (who serve) and their families go through being deployed and worrying every day, ‘What if my husband or wife gets shot or blown up?’ ” Tim said. “It’s horrendous. On these holidays, we’re all out hav-ing a good time … and there are families agonizing over the death of their military people.” His sentiments were echoed by Steve, the manag-er of the Rosemount VFW who didn’t want his last name printed. He said last year, veterans carrying the flag in Rose-mount’s Leprechaun Days parade noticed a man in a wheelchair stand to salute the flag as it passed, but children and parents nearby

didn’t even pay attention. “I think people don’t teach … what the respect of a flag is. We shouldn’t have to write notes and put up ban-ners in people’s yards to be-lieve in the flag, you should believe in what it is,” Steve said. Minnesota National Guard Lt. Col. Kevin Ol-son, Inver Grove Heights, recently returned with the Rosemount-based 34th Red Bulls Infantry Division after serving a year in Iraq. He said although basic civic knowledge may need some reinforcement through education, many people do express their appreciation to military men and women. “We see more businesses that are offering discounts, and there is a large outcry from cities throughout Min-nesota that are organizing as Yellow Ribbon communities that have specific programs that assist military families as they return home,” Olson said. “But, most prevalent is the fact that when a citizen sees me in uniform, I almost always receive a thank you.” Even the patriotic senti-ments the Pope family has expressed in writing have oc-casionally inspired others to honk their horns in support as they drive by, a sign which gives Tim hope. “My hope is that we re-store honor … and honor our military men and wom-en, honor our police officers and show respect to older people,” he said.

In the face of continued fiscal tur-moil at the state level, board members of the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Ea-gan school district are unanimous in their recognition of the need for an-other operating levy to dampen the ef-fect of budget cuts. It is an unenviable position: Even if the voters approve the proposed $15.4 million levy this fall, the district will

still have to spend down its fund bal-ance and make several million dollars in cuts and adjustments to balance the 2011-12 budget. The levy would mean fewer cuts, not a lack of cuts, and not even a pre-vention of future cuts, said Jeff Solo-mon, the district’s finance director. This is because the state’s proposed $6 billion budget deficit comprises

nearly a fifth of the total state budget, according to the office of state econo-mist Tom Stinson. This is a catalyst for the school board to prepare for the worst, while trying to maintain its role as a provider of quality education. In 2005, voters approved the dis-trict’s current levy of $1,042 per pupil. The board’s $15.4 million levy aspira-tion amounts to about $522 per pu-pil, Solomon said. This would hit the

A 28-year-old Burnsville man has been jailed on probable cause for a second-degree murder charge after turning himself in to police shortly after 6 a.m. Wednesday in connection with the shooting death of a 22-year-old Apple Valley man on Monday in Rosemount. Jonas Gerald Grice was taken into custody without incident at the Burnsville Police Depart-ment. He was being held at the Da-kota County Jail on Wednesday. The Dakota County attorney’s office was reviewing the case with formal charges expected by noon on Friday, July 16. After Grice’s arrest, the investi-gation into the case continues. The Dakota County Sheriff ’s Department reported that several tips were received following the re-lease of a composite sketch of the suspect Tuesday night by Rose-mount police. Anthony Adam Hartman was found dead by police at about 6 p.m. July 12 after they responded to a report of shots fired at the The Car Spa car wash at 15215 Canada Ave. Prior to the shooting, Hartman

was a passenger in a friend’s car when the friend drove to the car wash to vacuum the vehicle, ac-cording to police.

After arriving at the car wash there was a brief al-tercation between Hart-man and the suspect be-fore the suspect pulled out a handgun and shot Hart-man several times. He died at the scene. “It was a brief alterca-tion, a matter of exchang-ing glances and a few

words,” Rosemount Police Chief Gary Kalstabakken said during a press conference. After the shooting, the suspect then got into his car and drove out of the parking lot onto Can-ada Avenue before turning north-bound on Highway 3 (South Rob-ert Trail). At the time of the shooting, there were five other vehicles at the car wash in addition to those of the suspect and the victim’s friend. There were also several people present in businesses and parking lots that are adjacent to and across the road from the car wash. More information about this story will be posted at www.ThisweekLive.com as it is received.

A 2006 Rosemount High School gradu-ate apparently was doing what he had done for most of his life – standing up for friends and family – when he was shot Monday, July 12, at a Rose-mount car wash. Anthony Adam Hart-man, 22, of Apple Valley was shot after an alterca-tion with an armed man in a crime that Rosemount Police Chief Gary Kalstabakken said doesn’t make any sense. Hartman was at The Car Spa car wash with a friend when the altercation ensued. Witnesses report that the man who shot Hartman didn’t hurry from the scene, but rather got into his car and drove away like nothing had happened. Hartman graduated from Minneapolis Business School in 2007. He earned the Boy Scouts’ top honor of Eagle Scout and enjoyed the outdoors and fishing. He also played football at Rosemount High School. A Mass of Christian burial for Hart-man will be at 11 a.m. Monday, July 19, at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Rose-mount. Visitation will be from 4-8 p.m. Sunday at White Funeral Home, 14560 Pennock Ave., Apple Valley, and one hour prior to Mass at the church. He was preceded in death by grandpar-ents, Adam and Shirley Bader, Virgil Hart-man and Paul Hinderscheit. He is survived by his parents, Karen and David Hartman; brother, James Hinders-cheid; grandmother, Amella Hinderscheid; many uncles, aunts, cousins and friends.

The city of Apple Valley recently received some ma-jor kudos from Money magazine. Apple Valley earned the No. 20 spot on this year’s list of America’s Best Places to Live, the magazine’s annual ranking of the nation’s most livable small cities. The rankings are determined by financial, housing, education, and quality-of-life statistics, as well as fac-tors such as leisure activities and culture. “The economic downturn has been tough on every-one, but we appear to be weathering the storm,” said Apple Valley Mayor Mary Hamann-Roland. “We have continued job growth, a low crime rate and excellent schools. We’re very fortunate to live in a com-munity that has the great build-ing blocks in place. We have great businesses and great people.” This wasn’t the first year Ap-ple Valley garnered a spot on the Money magazine list. The city ranked No. 28 in 2007, and was No. 24 in 2008. Apple Valley was among two cities in Dakota County and a to-tal of five in the Twin Cities to crack the top 20 on the list this year. Eden Prairie came in at No. 1, Plymouth was No. 11, Woodbury was No. 13 and Eagan No. 15. A recently aired segment on NBC’s “The Today Show” about the Money magazine rankings noted the high number of Minnesota cities in the top 20. Hamann-Roland said she’d like to invite “Today Show” host Matt Lauer to visit Apple Valley and find out in person what put the city in the top 20. “We’d love for him to come and do a show in Apple Valley,” she said. A full list of the top 100 is available online at http://money.cnn.com.

APPLE VALLEYGas prices skyrocketing?

Photo by Andrew Miller

No, gasoline is not $8.88 per gallon at Piston Pete’s/Andy’s Market in Apple Valley. The gas station at Galaxie Avenue and 140th Street was pumping unleaded at $2.54 a gallon this week, but an electronics glitch with the digital sign in front of the store gave the impression gas prices had spiraled out of control. “It just died on us – we can’t even turn it off,” manager Jeff Michaelson said on Tuesday. A repair crew was scheduled to correct the problem on Wednesday. Michaelson noted that, in a strange way, the sign malfunction may have been good for business, as the sky-high gas-price listing was sure to grab the attention of passing motorists.

Public meetings planned for UMore Park projectsWind turbine construction expected to begin late this year

Photo by Laura Adelmann

The University of Minnesota’s UMore project is to locate a 2.5 megawatt wind tur-bine on the property.


The University of Minnesota has a flurry of activities slated regarding UMore Park development plans. On July 22, a public meeting will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Rosemount Commu-nity Center regarding approximately 1,700 acres on the western edge of the UMore property. At the meeting, the public can review and comment on the draft environmental impact statement for the area, planned to be home to sand and gravel mining opera-tions and ancillary uses, including a cement plant. In addition, a community forum will be held July 29, also at the Rosemount Com-munity Center, from 5 to 7:30 p.m., to high-light the launch of wind energy research.

The university is proposing to locate a 2.5 megawatt wind turbine at UMore Park, funded by a U.S. Department of Energy wind energy research grant. It would be used for research, testing and field-scale demonstration using cut-ting-edge turbine technologies. The university hopes the project will help make wind energy a more affordable source of power through increased reliabil-ity and efficiency. Web-based curriculum will also be de-veloped that both students and practicing engineers can utilize for training. At the forum, Mostafa Kaveh, research and planning associate dean at the univer-sity’s College of Science and Engineering, will discuss wind turbine research, invest-ments and local innovations. Ronald E. Thomas, Ph.D., president,

Dakota County Technical College, will dis-cuss job creation and workforce develop-ment in energy-related fields. There will also be time for questions. Dakota County recently installed a wind turbine at Schaar’s Bluff in Spring Lake Park, but according to County Adminis-trator Brandt Richardson, that turbine has been plagued with mechanical difficulties. Richardson explained the computer that controls hydraulic pressure appears to indicate the machine is experiencing ab-normally high pressure, causing the unit to automatically shut down. He added that supplier Next Generation has recently been able to quell the problem, which stems from a computer software is-sue. For more information about the UMore project, go to www.umorepark.umn.edu.

Rosemount


Many women and chil-dren in remote villages of East Africa walk miles each day to collect water from ponds and rivers contami-nated with a range of pol-lutants. As a result, dysentery is the country’s No. 3 killer, and lack of safe water is re-sponsible for 75 percent of deaths in these villages. Rosemount’s Lighthouse Church, which has worked with Water 4 Kids Interna-tional in past years to build wells in East Africa, will be attempting to raise $10,000 to fund another well. Church leaders hope an event that has water as a central feature will provide a bulk of the funds. Proceeds from this year’s Bathtub Races during Rose-mount Leprechaun Days will go toward the project. “We are teaming up to take a local event and have an international impact,” said Rev. Bill Goodwin, lead pastor. The event, which has teams of three racing bath-

tubs on wheels through an obstacle course while spectators throw water bal-loons at them, raises money through team entry fees and water balloon sales. It’s a fun event with a se-rious purpose. Goodwin traveled to Uganda, East Africa, in 2006 and 2008 to help build

water wells through Water 4 Kids, which is based in Phoenix, Ariz. One well can serve between 3,000 and 11,000 people and multiple villages. “Having a well radically changes people’s lives,” Goodwin said of the people who spend about a quarter of their days collecting wa-

ter without a nearby well available. Having a well means children, mostly girls, will have more time to spend in schools. In 2007, Lighthouse sent eight members in two groups to Uganda through the Water 4 Kids program. “What energizes us is to

state’s levy cap for District 196.

Options Indeed, the numbers are grim. Solomon prepared a series of financial scenarios looking at proposed budget adjustments with and with-out the levy, based on how much the state cuts funding to the district. The better of the scenari-os assumes a successful levy referendum in November and only a 5 percent (or $12 million) cut in funding from the state. In this situation, the district would only have a $4.5 million gap in funding. Without the levy, the amount would jump to $20 million. In either case, the district would have to also spend $8.9 mil-lion from its fund balance to close the gap. Should the state cut its District 196 funding by 7.5 percent ($16 million) with levy support from district

residents, the gap would hit $8 million. Without the levy, the district would need to make almost $24 million in budget adjustments. In either of these cases, the fund bal-ance would see a $9.1 million depletion. Where the cuts would be made is not deter-mined yet. Regardless of the above situations, Solomon said, the district would have to make $14.5 million in additional budget adjustments for the 2012-13 school year and use an additional $4.2 million in fund balance.

A question of trust Although the board con-sensus favors a levy, members were quick to assert they did not want to scare the public with inflated budget prob-lems. Primarily, they wanted to make sure they had a general idea of the poten-tial state cuts so as to avoid a scenario in which they tell the public the state will cut 10 percent of funding when the

state ends up cutting only 5 percent. “We have to be honest with our statements,” said School Board Member Rob Duchscher. School Board Member Art Coulson added that “we don’t want to threaten the public with this” and that the board needs to show how the state’s fiscal precariousness affects the district’s financial health. As an extension of this, Coulson said the district’s re-cord on use of the 2005 levy funds should act as evidence to district residents that their public funds would be used wisely. The decision to include the levy question on the bal-lot is not on the books yet. The board must vote twice on the concept at its July 26 and Aug. 16 meetings. It must then share its intentions with the state by Aug. 21.

be serving the community,” Goodwin said. “When plan-ning this, we asked what we can do to serve the commu-nity and do something big-ger than ourselves.” The Bathtub Races will start at 6 p.m. Tuesday, July 27, at Central Park. Teams may enter in three categories – Business/Cor-porate, Adult Residents and Youth Residents. The winner in the Business/Corporate category will win a traveling trophy. The costs for entries in the respective categories are $50, $15, and $10. Cash prizes to the win-ning teams are: Adult: first, $120; second, $60; Youth: first, $60; second, $30. In addition to running the Bathtub Races, Light-house is organizing its annu-al Lightin’ Up Family Block Party on Saturday, July 31, after the parade. The event from 12:30-4 p.m. will include free food, prizes, games, live music, in-flatables, a petting zoo, and archery station. Ventriloquist Mark Thompson, who travels

throughout the country with his sidekicks, will perform during the event. Other at-tractions include two sepa-rate tents with events geared especially for men and wom-en. Lighthouse also is orga-nizing an outdoor worship service at 10 a.m. Aug. 1 in Central Park. The event will feature Thompson, along with free bagels and coffee from Bruegger’s Bagels.

More information about those events is at www.worldwidelighthouse.com. To register for the Bath-tub Races, call Goodwin at (651) 331-1502 or e-mail him at [email protected]. For more information about Water 4 Kids, go on-line at www.w4ki.org.

County predicts financial struggles aheadEstimated $10 million budget cut anticipated for 2011


During the next sev-eral years, Dakota County government officials know budget cuts and pro-gram prioritization will be critical. Faced with ris-ing health and in-surance costs, mil-lions lost in state and federal budget cuts, increasing de-mands for services and plummeting property values, Dakota County commissioners discussed an overview of fiscal options July 13. At a July 27 workshop, county officials will more closely study, discuss and consider budget options and implications to county services, employees and tax-payers. At its July 13 meeting, the board reduced the 2010 budget to reflect an addi-tional $2.8 million cut in state aid. The county offset the amount by leaving most po-sitions lost to attrition va-cant. But in 2011, departments will have to make enough cuts to cover an estimated $10 million funding gap, said County Finance Di-rector Matt Smith during a later committee meeting. Budget busters include an $8 million assumption in state aid cuts and increases in employee salaries and 11 percent and 12 percent rises in health insurance premi-ums over the next two years. To help reduce the insur-

ance increases, the county is redesigning its medical ben-

efits program. While the budget issues loom, one of the county’s largest departments, Social Services, is particu-larly challenged in the tight economic climate. Kelly Harder, the new Community

Services director who re-placed the retired Dave Rooney, said the depart-ment is strained with case loads increasing by about 100 new cases per month and a hiring freeze that adds to employee workloads and stress levels. He predicted people seeking help will be more af-fected by government bud-get stresses than they have in the past. “People are really going to face the ‘without’ now. The counties have really picked up where the state and feds have been cutting through the years, so peo-ple haven’t really felt that,” Harder said. During the committee meeting discussions, Smith said the county is planning for a $10 million reduction in the 2011 budget. To accomplish it, coun-ty department heads have been instructed to cut a to-tal of $5.5 million to $7 mil-lion from their budgets, and the remaining gap will be filled with countywide cost-savings strategies.

Social Services is being asked to reduce its bud-get by between $1.9 mil-lion and $2.4 million; Op-erations, Management and Budget Department to cut between $983,000 and $1.2 million, while the Public Services and Revenue De-partment has been asked to cut between $934,000 and $1.2 million. Other departments have been asked to make cuts ranging from $351,000 to $746,000. Another concern is what the state will do to cover its own budget deficit. Smith said the coun-ty could potentially lose about $26 million in gen-eral aid if the state decided to make funding cuts. “The question is how quickly we expect these rev-enues to disappear,” Smith said. “These are various forms of aid from the state. … If we didn’t get that money, the mandates (to provide services) would not disap-pear,” County Adminis-trator Brandt Richardson said. To prepare, commission-ers and staff have taken surveys that ask them to prioritize county services to avoid across-the-board cuts and instead target ar-eas to reflect the county’s priorities. Biggest priorities in-clude safety concerns, which would prioritize le-gal and jail operations. Commissioners briefly discussed additional op-tions, which ranged from raising taxes to employee layoffs, but no decisions were made. “I don’t think by any means this is an overreac-tion. I also think that on the other side, worse-case scenario, that we’ll be back doing this again next year, on the same level,” Rich-ardson said.

Obituaries

by Aaron VehlingTHISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Given the results of the annual MCA-II tests re-leased last week, the Rose-mount-Apple Valley-Eagan school district has cause for both celebration and cau-tion. Overall, the percentage of students who scored pro-ficient or better on the read-ing and math tests exceeded statewide averages. In some cases, the difference was as much as 13 percent. Eighth-graders in the dis-trict showed 78 percent pro-ficiency in reading versus 68 percent statewide. This is 4 percent better than last year for the school district and only 1 percent better for eighth-graders statewide. While the 2010 test scores have improved, some individual schools and cer-tain grade levels are faring better than others. For excellent perfor-mance at a site level, Echo Park Elementary in Burns-ville, with a free- and re-duced-price lunch percent-age of 28 percent, stands out. At a school board retreat July 12, it was one of the examples of success Superintendent Jane Berenz showcased. That school’s fifth-grad-ers achieved 89 percent pro-ficiency in reading and 84 percent in math, an 18 and 19 percent increase, respec-tively. “These are incredible scores,” Berenz said. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the district’s third- and fourth-graders scored lower this year ver-sus last year in reading. For third-graders, their reading proficiency score fell from 86 to 83 percent and for fourth-graders the drop was 1 percent from 82 last year. There were also a few grade levels that stayed the same. Sophomores main-tained an 85 percent profi-ciency in reading. Seventh-graders also stayed the same

in reading with a score of 74 percent. Juniors the state over ap-pear to be struggling with their math assessments, achieving proficiency at a mere 43 percent. District 196 juniors top that by 13 percent, which is actually a 1 percent decrease from 2009. At the July 12 retreat, the general response to the test scores was a sense of frus-tration over how they are interpreted. Comparing the third grade reading scores from this year to last year re-quires a nuanced approach, said School Board Member Kevin Sampers, because there are different students in third grade each year. Thus, it is not an apples-to-apples comparison. School districts across the state administer the MCA-IIs annually to grades three through eight. In addition, high school sophomores take a reading-only test and juniors take a math-only test. The object of the tests is to measure students’ read-ing and math abilities with a goal of 100 proficiency by 2014, as required by the fed-eral No Child Left Behind act. Next month, the Min-nesota Department of Edu-cation will release adequate yearly progress reports that provide more comprehen-sive achievement data. Parents of students in District 196 will receive their children’s individual test scores before the start of school this fall, accord-ing to the district.

STOP SMOKINGTODAY’S THE DAY


Opinion

Daley will rein in state spendingTo the editor: Ted Daley, the Republi-can candidate for state Sen-ate in Eagan-Burnsville Dis-trict 38, knows that the first step in restoring the state to fiscal soundness is reducing out of control spending. The cuts made to balance the budget in recent years mere-ly involved the low-hanging fruit. Next will come the harder cuts and Daley is ready to make them. His goal is to reduce the tax burden on Minnesota taxpayers and hard choices must be made to cut many of the programs that have been imposed on the state in recent years. His back-ground as a certified public accountant gives him the ex-perience to understand the implications of the proposed new DFL programs and the cuts that must be made in ex-isting programs. He believes that Min-nesota citizens know better how to spend their money than bureaucrats in state government, and he’ll work to reduce the size of state government and the temp-tation for the Legislature to spend other people’s money with reckless abandon.

GERRY CHAPDELAINEEagan

Make candidates pay to marchTo the editor: Having marched and played in hundreds of pa-rades during my youth; and as recently as last Saturday, having viewed the latest edi-tion during my 28-plus years in Eagan, I can no longer sit quietly on the curb. The Eagan parade con-tinues to go downhill and not in a good way. The lack of live music is appalling. I love a good pa-rade and I happen to believe that parades are primarily for the benefit of spectators

and not just merchants and those on cardio rehab who are carrying a sign. I like to see dance groups and youth groups and waving princess-es and civic organizations and most of all, my neigh-bors and friends. I – like most people – enjoy being entertained. So, here is my suggestion. Since every unit in the pa-rade pays a fee to be there, why not charge all politi-cians five times the normal fee and use the money raised to pay for live bands – either on truck beds or offer per-formance fees to marching bands. I understand that even the Minneapolis Aquaten-nial has taken to paying performers to put some spark back into their pa-rade. Eagan needs to do the same. And another thing, as for the seemingly constant drudge of incumbent and wannabe politicians, why do they fail to print their party affiliation on their signs and stickers and T-shirts? What are they ashamed of?

ED FINLEYEagan

Bills no extremistTo the editor: Cole Trace’s attempt to paint Kurt Bills as another Judy Lindsay (Thisweek, July 9) simply does not fit the facts. It is true that, in 2008, Senate District 37B Repub-licans shot ourselves in the foot by endorsing a far-right candidate who did not fit the district. As a result, many moder-ate and conservative voters failed to support Lindsay, and Republicans forfeited a seat held for 24 years by Dennis Ozment. Sterner won the election by claiming to be a moder-ate Democrat. Yet in his first year in of-fice he voted for massive tax increases (May 17-18, 2009 – House Files 885 and 2323). We learned our lesson,

and this year we endorsed a practical, realistic candidate who matches the values of the district. Kurt Bills is no Judy Lindsay. Kurt Bills is no ex-tremist. He received the endorse-ment of the Republican Liberty Caucus because he agreed with their principles of more liberty and less gov-ernment. He does not support ev-ery plank of their platform. Check Bills’ public positions. The facts refute the feeble attempt to tie Bills’ endorse-ment to some apparently extreme positions of the Re-publican Liberty Caucus. The facts also clearly establish Sterner’s commit-ment to the DFL tax-and-spend philosophy as evi-denced by his voting record. Trace may be a psychic, but his “pretty good idea” of Bills’ “signaling to Judy Lindsay and her supporters” is really a bizarre stretch.

Editor’s Note: The writer is a former state representative for Burnsville and Savage.

Ted Daley has a record of serviceTo the editor: As November elections are just around the corner, I am eager to take action to influence the future of our state by casting my vote for the best candidates. Service is the key word in describing the candidate I am supporting for Min-nesota Senate from Eagan-Burnsville District 38. Ted Daley has given sev-eral years of service to his country. After graduation from West Point he volun-teered for overseas service in Korea and later deployed to operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm in Iraq in the early 90s. After returning to Minnesota, he joined an Army Reserve unit. After

the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, he returned to ac-tive duty, serving for eight years in Israel, Cuba and Iraq, where he served as se-nior economics advisor on the Provincial Reconstruc-tion Team. His service to the com-munity has not been limited to the military. He’s current-ly on the Eagan Planning Commission and in his spare time is a soccer coach and Cubmaster. We need someone with that record of service in the Minnesota Senate. FRAN LAUFLEEagan

Investment essentialTo the editor: The essential ingredient in a successful community is the willingness to work for ade-quate investment in it. Those who have performed this job well have seen our homes re-taining value, our businesses flourishing, our children and their schools doing well, and our citizens not having to pay undue property taxes, which are a burden to those on lower, fixed or shrinking incomes during difficult eco-nomic times. When I taught school a few years back, although there were challenges to stu-dents, teachers, and admin-istrators, seldom did we see class sizes exceeding 30 stu-dents. Today I understand 40 is the new 30. Local teach-ers are facing the dilemma of doing even more with even less, as class sizes have grown over the last decade. More is demanded from students and teachers, whether new or ex-perienced, and I sometimes feel lucky to have gone on to other fields. Our most precious re-source, the generation to which we bequeath our com-munities, is ill-equipped to handle the challenges it will encounter. We must take care of these young lives in the best way possible. CONSTANCE PETERSONEagan

Sterner listens, leadsTo the editor: I am urging readers to re-elect Phil Sterner to the Min-nesota House of Representa-tives in District 37B. Sterner is a quick learner

and a dynamic leader. He has the ability to own the room and infuse respect in the de-liberation of public discourse. People listen and respect his views – a unique leadership characteristic that’s very rare in today’s public square that should be, I believe, a perqui-site for public office. Sterner is a listener rather than a talker. This is another important leadership attri-bute that will enable him to better understand the subtle and complex process of de-veloping effective policies that will improve our community. Sterner does not engage in vicious attacks that hin-der one’s ability to work with others who do not necessar-ily agree with them on all is-sues. Instead, he has been the target of vicious attacks by special interest groups. I was astounded by the level of vi-ciousness in a piece of litera-ture distributed in our neigh-borhood by the Minnesota Chamber Leadership Fund attacking Sterner for his vote to fund our schools adequate-ly. Finally, we need to re-elect Sterner to allow him to incre-mentally gain seniority in the Minnesota House. Senior-ity is extremely important in governing because leader-ship responsibilities such as chairmanships are assigned according to the number of years of service in the pertain-ing legislative branch.

JAMAL A. ABDULAHIRosemount

Sterner bipartisanTo the editor: Rep. Phil Sterner, DFL-Rosemount, can tell you that most people don’t care where a good idea comes from; they just want their representatives to work together to get things done. His bipartisan record speaks for itself. Sterner worked with leg-islators from both parties to pass a new law to make it easier to clean up our lakes. He worked with U.S. Rep. John Kline, R-Lakeville, to provide long overdue bonus pay to members of the Min-nesota Red Bulls. He voted for bipartisan legislation that increased oversight of school trust lands so more money would go to our class-rooms without a tax increase. He worked with Gov. Tim Pawlenty and local officials to pass a zoo bonding bill that is bringing new jobs to Ap-ple Valley. Most recently, he

worked with Democrats and Republicans to pass a pack-age of bills that will help small businesses grow and hire new workers. Sterner clearly under-stands that he must continue to work across party lines to bring the best solutions on critical issues for District 37B. He deserves another term, and I’ll be supporting him in November. PATRICK KELLYMendota Heights

Bills takes step to the far right To the editor: I was troubled to read in a recent Thisweek that House candidate Kurt Bills proudly accepted the en-dorsement of the Repub-lican Liberty Caucus. The RLC is a radical right-wing fringe group that opposes all corporate and business taxes and advocates for the privatization of govern-ment assets. Most conservatives want nothing to do with a fringe group whose ideas would cripple an already cash-strapped Minnesota bud-get. By enthusiastically ac-cepting this endorsement, Bills is telling voters how he would implement his “Econ 101” theories in St. Paul. It is clear to me that Bill’s “Econ 101” is just that, an ill-considered, empty campaign slogan proffered by an extreme right-wing candidate, that translates into entry-level economics taught in high school. Not exactly the voice of reason and experience we need. I thought that two years ago, when Rosemount and Apple Valley voters reject-ed the far right candidacy of Judy Lindsay, they had sent a clear, “not welcome” message to the radical right. What is clear now is that Mr. Bills shares Ms. Lindsay’s philosophy. If Bills differs from Ms. Lindsay, I challenge him to come forward and tell the voters exactly how and where he differs from her. If Bills does not reject the radical right philoso-phy of the RLC, then vot-ers should be wary of this agenda at the polls in No-vember. DANIEL MONAHANApple Valley

by Jon ElbaumEXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, BURNSVILLE

PERFORMING ARTS CENTER

Some of you may have noticed some new faces around the Burnsville Performing Arts Center – mine, for instance. It was my honor to be selected as the ex-ecutive director for the PAC after a nationwide search. I began my role here in April and have been tremendously impressed with both the beauty and functional-ity of the facility, as well as the strength of support among our users and the community. Based on my experience, I have a clear understanding of the financial and political com-

mitment needed to bring a project such as this to reality in an era of tough choices. Make no mis-take – this one is a winner. Judging by the more than 60,000 people who came through the doors during

the inaugural year, a good many of you agree. And if current trends are any indication we will blow the doors off that number in 2010. Burnsville, as a part of the Twin Cities metro region, is blessed to be part of a vibrant and active cultural community. I agree with author Richard Flor-ida in believing that the creative energy generated in such an en-

vironment helps spur growth in other areas of the economy. The fact that Minnesota and the Twin Cities in particular are faring bet-ter than much of the rest of the country in the current economic climate is not a coincidence. It is what I consider to be a con-sequence of this. And capturing that creative energy right here in Burnsville makes our community a more attractive destination for new businesses, skilled labor and visitors. The demands of this new eco-nomic reality require that we pro-vide solid value to our patrons and search for creative ways to keep the facility utilized to its full capacity. Although some of

the many activities happening here don’t make the front pages, we rarely have a day without an organization or group making use of our building. And as a key community resource, that is re-ally what it is all about. I’d like to take this opportuni-ty to welcome a couple of other new additions to our staff. Jean Martinson is our new business manager. In addition to her responsibilities for finan-cial reporting, accounting, and human resource administration, Jean also oversees our concession operations. Kandice Nelson is a Burnsville resident who joins us as director of marketing. Kandice brings na-

tional marketing experience as well as an understanding of our local community. As a team we bring a new commitment, new ideas and fresh energy into an already exciting and successful facility. We look forward to collaborating with the newly formed Performing Arts Center Advisory Commission, working with them to enhance every aspect of our operation. Their experience and commit-ment will be a valuable addition to the center. Jon Elbaum is the second executive director of the Burnsville Perform-ing Arts Center.

When Thomas Richards was a defensive tackle on the football team his junior year at Burnsville High School, gridiron-related ankle inju-ries proved to be a blessing in disguise. Sidelined from sports, he decided to try out for the school musical. “He came in and he looked like a typical foot-ball player, but then he started singing and his voice was just beautiful,” Nicole Marschall, longtime vocal director in Burnsville High’s theater department, said of Richards’ first audition. “He quit football after that.” Needless to say, Rich-ards, a 2006 graduate of the high school, got the part. More roles followed, and his football cleats began to gather dust. “He found his passion,” Marschall said. Now, after spending four years at college earning a degree in music, he’s set an

ambitious goal for himself. “My ultimate goal has been set for a while: I want to be a professional op-era singer,” said the recent George Washington Uni-versity graduate whose voice type is bass baritone. “Whether I can make a liv-ing at it or not is anybody’s guess.” Before he takes the next step in bringing his dream of an opera career to frui-tion and begins graduate work at Cincinnati’s College Conservatory of Music in the fall, Richards is spend-ing the summer back in his hometown, and is cast as Capt. Smith in Second Stage Theatre Company’s presentation of the ensem-ble musical “Titanic” at the Burnsville Performing Arts Center. Second Stage is a collab-oration between the Burns-ville-Eagan-Savage School District and the Burnsville PAC, which means Richards is back working with several of the instructors from his

high school theater days. “Titanic” director Randy Day, for one, directed all the productions Richards appeared in at Burnsville High. And Marschall, the “Titanic” vocal director, said having Richards back in the theater has given her a chance to see how her for-mer pupil has progressed. “He’s my first student to

go on to graduate school for music,” said Marschall. “We’re so lucky he came back for the summer. He’s really inspiring the whole cast.”

As to whether or not he’s got a shot at making a living singing opera, Marschall suspects he probably can. “He has a really great work ethic and a beautiful

voice,” she said. “I feel like he has a very, very good shot.”

Although June saw a 4.9 percent year-over-year median sales price increase from $173,500 to $182,000 in the Twin Cities metro, low demand overshadowed those gains, according to a Minneapolis Area As-sociation of Realtors press release. The sales price reflects the mix of homes that were selling – many of which were closings from credit-motivated first-time home-buyers. The big shift occurred in the pending sales metric, which had a 40.4 percent year-over-year decline from June 2009. The previous record high was a 27.6 per-cent year-over-year pending sales decline and it occurred 4 years ago. “Thinning demand once again eclipsed price gains in June,” said Brad Fisher, president of the Minne-apolis Area Association of Realtors. “It’s still unclear whether demand has cat-fished or not, and just when and how prices will respond to the lagging demand.” The price gains regis-tered across the board, but the foreclosure category had the greatest price in-crease of 8.7 percent. Tra-ditional and short sales saw year-over-year price gains of 3.6 percent and 3.1 per-cent, respectively. Looking a bit closer, the median sales price for traditional homes was $217,000, foreclosures were $125,000, and short sales were $152,000.The traditional sub-market (non-foreclosure, and non-short sale) had a 41.5 per-cent pending sales decline while foreclosures had a 40.7 percent decline. Short sales actually had an 11.0 percent increase in pend-ing sales but comprised less than one-fifth of the mar-ket. There were 3,465 signed purchase agreements in June, a decrease of 2,347

Despite humidity, housing demand is in a dry spell

contracts from last June. Seller activity also slowed considerably, with 7,278 new properties coming onto the market. In terms of year-to-date figures, pending sales only decreased 8.5 percent while new listings posted a 2.1 percent increase. Active listings remained fairly constant, with inven-tory checking in at 26,665 for June, a minor 1.8 percent increase over June 2009. The supply-demand ra-tio increased 46.9 percent to 7.44, primarily due to de-clining demand. This means that there are about 7.4 homes available per buyer for July. The effect of the tax credit is becoming clearer with time. March and April enjoyed record-breaking performance at the cost of June and July (and possibly

continuing into the future). In other words, the cred-it shifted would-be sum-mer buyers forward. There aren’t enough buyers left to sustain March and April sales figures. A short-term demand spike was created at the expense of long-term market stability. “It is somewhat puz-zling that demand is this flimsy considering interest rates are at 50-year lows,” said MAAR president-elect Pat Paulson. “Until macro-economic indicators such as unemployment and job churn improve, the housing market isn’t likely to make large strides.” All information is ac-cording to the Minneapolis Area Association of Real-tors based on data from the Regional Multiple Listing Service of Minnesota Inc.

Eagan’s Target is aiming to become a one-stop shop for its customers by offering an expanded selection of groceries beginning in Sep-tember. The new PFresh sec-tion will offer basic pre-packaged fresh produce, a limited assortment of fresh packaged meat and pre-packaged baked goods. The PFresh concept was created in response to cus-tomer feedback, said Tam-my Robertson of Target Communications. “The benefit of open-

ing a PFresh store is that we are able to provide our guests with what they have requested: more fresh food in the convenience of their local Target store,” she said. Target made its first for-ay into the grocery market with its SuperTarget stores, which feature full-service grocery sections. This scaled-down ver-sion allows the retailer to add a grocery section within existing stores without ex-panding or wholesale re-modeling. The new area at the Eagan store will take space from other depart-ments, Robertson said. The remodeling process will affect 92 percent of the store and will be conducted without interruption to shoppers, she said. Customers shopping there recently have found that several departments

have been moved to differ-ent areas, and the back sec-tion of the store is cordoned off for remodeling. Eagan’s is the first Target to offer PFresh in the south metro, but the chain has already added PFresh sec-tions to 108 stores around the country. It began testing the concept at two Minnesota stores – at Nicollet Mall in downtown Minneapolis and the Ridgedale Target in Minnetonka – in 2008. “We plan to expand the PFresh rollout to approxi-mately 350 additional new and remodeled stores in 2010,” including more in the south metro, she said. The store, located at the Cliff Lake shopping cen-ter off of Cliff and I-35E, is right around the corner from a Cub Foods. Cub Foods spokesper-son Lilia Rodriguez said the store does not comment on competition.

“We stay focused on what we have to do to continue taking care of our custom-ers every day,” she said. But Robertson said add-ing sales of fresh food at its PFresh locations has been very successful for Target. “Our PFresh stores have experienced traffic and sales increase of approximately 6 percent,” she said. The stores nationwide have also begun matching advertised prices from com-petitors on identical items in local markets, she said. “Our efforts around price and price perception are helping us better convey how affordable and com-petitive a Target shopping trip really is,” she said. “We don’t ever want price to be a barrier to shopping at Tar-get.”

Don’t let transferring ruin your yearby Andy RogersTHISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

I’ve learned in the past few years the word “trans-fer” is considered a swear word in the sports writ-ing business and should be avoided at all costs. The word gives people an icky feeling. People hate the idea that a rival team might have bet-ter players. Coaches hate the word “recruited” even more. Everyone wants sports to be fair, even though pretty much nothing in life is fair. I’ve heard rumors of stu-dents living at the homes of coaches to fulfill residency

requirements, to banks giv-ing parents “ s p e c i a l ” loans to stay in town. I often don’t under-stand the hysteria from both sides of the spectrum. I don’t know why anyone would completely rearrange their life for their children’s sports interest. It’s seems relatively unhealthy to me. I also don’t know why anyone would get worked up about it either. Other people’s decisions will nega-

tively affect you your whole life. All you can do is make it worse by letting it get to you. In the world of sports, if you want to beat the best, you have to be the best. From my perspective, it’s easier to get a scholarship for college if you get good grades rather than leading your team in scoring. Receiving more exposure is one thing, but if you’re a good athlete, people will know. Going through the cost of moving or finding a new place to stay just to improve your child’s odds at a schol-arship aren’t cost effective. There’s a saying I learned

a long time ago that rings true every day: I never un-derstand why people spend their lives working jobs they don’t like, to buy things they don’t want, to impress peo-ple they don’t like.

All Americans Two girls from Burnsville received All-American hon-ors at the AAU volleyball national championships held in Florida in June. Greta Geist, who plays on the 14U Northern Lights team, was named All Amer-ican. Her team took third at the tournament. Alli Butler, who plays on the 16U team for Northern

Lights, also received All American. Butler played on the Burnsville Blaze High School team which last sea-son took third at state. Her team placed second at the tournament.

REV revolution The Dakota REV soc-cer club out of Rosemount has proved to have some of the best girls soccer teams around at the Schwan’s USA CUP’s weekend tour-nament, which featured 473 teams from around the world. The 11U Riptide girls won their age bracket by defeating KC Select Shine

from Lee’s Summit, Mont., by a score of 3-2. The 14U REV Rampage shut out the Waterloo SC Phoenix from Waterloo, Ontario, 2-0 in the champi-onship match. The 16U REV Fury also shut out their rival, the White Bear Lake Storm, 3-0. USA CUP’s weeklong tournament began Tuesday morning and runs through Saturday at the National Sports Center in Blaine.

Going offroad in the metroRebecca Sauber is one of the top mountain bikers in the state

by Andy RogersTHISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

While biking is one of the more popular activities in Minnesota, the idea of mountain biking is easy to dismiss. For one, there are few mountains in the metro area. For various reasons, the extreme sport mountain biking has also attracted more men than women. But for Farmington resi-dent, Lakeville special edu-cation teacher and Rose-mount High School alumna Rebecca Sauber, none of those factors stopped her from getting on a mountain bike and becoming one of the top racers in the state. “You have to be willing to crash,” Sauber said of her experience on the trail. “I’ve been to the emergency room twice with stitches. “You have to be willing to take a risk. I get scared sometimes, too. You end up going over the bars, some-times. That just happens.” Sauber rides six to 20 hours a week – more when she’s training for some-thing like the Leadville 100 Mountain Bike Rice in Colorado. She traveled to Colorado last year to com-pete at the highest race in North America, which at-tracts top-tier athletes such as Lance Armstrong. She primarily races in the Minnesota Mountain Bike Series as well as the White Tail Ridge races in River Falls, Wis., and Buck Hill Thursday night Mountain Bike Series. At the races at Buck Hill in Burnsville, Sauber will see about 80 guys compet-ing while the number of fe-males is in the single digits. That doesn’t mean the competition is weak. “It’s surprising but there’s some really strong bikers that do well nationally,” Sauber said. “Even though we don’t have mountains, we can still hang.”

Wheels are a smoother ride Sauber once focused on running as her source of exercise, until her knees started hurting. She decided to pursue something that didn’t pound on her joints over and over, so she kicked up the stand on her moun-tain bike. She won her first race in the citizens series on a bike from Target. Figuring that was a good sign, she kept on riding. During the last five years she bought a bike from

Penn Cycle and moved up into the pro category. She races at least once a week in races in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Sauber is one of the top three female mountain bike racers in the state along with Jenna Rinehart from Mankato, who was a na-tional champion, and Du-luth’s Sara Kylander-John-son. “They’ve been at it a lot longer,” Sauber said. “It’s hard to compete against them since they don’t work and I work a full-time job.” She’s gathered sponsors

along the way. Sauber is on the Larson Cycle team out of Cambridge and she’s a factory rider for Ergon Bike Ergonomics.

No mountains, no problem When she’s not racing, Sauber can be found in the south metro at one of many mountain bike single tracks. Her bike has gone up and down the hills at Murphy-Hanrehan Park Reserve in Savage, which is known for its steeper inclines, narrow treads, and sharp turns. Ob-

stacles include boardwalks, rock gardens and various drops, but there’s also a be-ginner’s loop. “It’s a longer course and it can be pretty challeng-ing,” Sauber said. The trails at Lebanon Hills in Eagan are fast, smooth and winding. Leba-non Hills provides a chal-lenge thanks to plenty of obstacles such as rock beds and log piles. It’s one of the most popular spots in Min-nesota. She’ll also try out Ter-race Oaks in Burnsville, which is a quicker trail with few tight spots. The River Bottoms trail along the Minnesota river in southern Bloomington also gives Sauber and other mountain bike enthusiasts a unique experience. It’s a long, flat trail with multiple entry points. One of the ob-stacles is a raft to help get you and your bike across a creek. Salem Hills in Harmon Park in Inver Grove Heights is another spot for single track riding. It’s a good place for beginners. For more information on Minnesota trails visit www.morcmtb.org.

Rotund tire fun Sauber’s favorite race is the Chequamegon Fat Tire Festival, in northern Wis-consin between Cable and Hayward. “It’s the Super Bowl of the Midwest,” Sauber said. “It’s really fast off-road bik-ing.” She had the best finish of her career at the Fat Tire festival when she finished fifth out of 150 women from around the country in 2009. She plans on participat-ing in the race again in Sep-tember. Her goal is to finish in the top three.

Summer is prime time for youth athletics and weekend tournaments. With no school to worry about, young people can run around all day. But that doesn’t mean it’s all play and no work. Last weekend, Burnsville hosted the Minnesota Ama-

teur Softball Association girls slowpitch state cham-pionship for 30 teams in the 12-18 age groups. The tournament fea-tured the best teams in the state including Burnsville, Richfield, Bloomington, Glen Lake, Champlin and Andover. The tournament didn’t run itself. It took almost 100 volunteers to work during the two-day tournament at Lac Lavon Park in Burns-ville. “It took pretty much ev-ery parent in our organiza-tion,” Burnsville slowpitch vice president Terry Boeder said. “About 70 girls signed

up for traveling slowpitch and 97 percent of the par-ents stepped up and volun-teered over the weekend.” Volunteers helped with concessions, gate admission, and field maintenance. Cindy Dack was one of the lead volunteers at the tournament. “There’s a lot of running around planning different things like food,” she said. “Trying to get the parents to volunteer, that’s the hardest part.” Burnsville earned the right to host the tournament six months ago. “It’s been pretty much non-stop working toward

putting things together ever since,” Boeder said. The top three teams in each age division – includ-ing 12U, 14U, 16U and 18U – qualified for nationals in LaGrange, Ga., from July 29-Aug. 1. All four Burns-ville teams won their respec-tive age brackets. “Burnsville is highly re-garded as a really good trav-eling slowpitch program,” Boeder said. “It’s a sport that they’re going to play for the rest of their life.” It’s not the same game the varsity program at the high school played so well this spring, winning a state title. That game features pitches

that approach the speed lim-it on the highway. Slowpitch is similar to the adult leagues that fill fields all summer long. The pitcher lobs the ball to the batter in-stead of winding up to put a little blur on the ball. Three years ago, a trav-eling slowpitch team was added to the list of activities for the Burnsville Athletic Club. “We saw other teams that wanted to play at the higher level,” Boeder said. “We de-cided to take some higher-level girls to tournaments.”

A Burnsville man is ac-cused of taking nearly 700 photos of the inner thighs and panties of young girls. The photos, taken with-out the subjects’ knowl-edge, appear to have been shot at libraries, parks, the Minnesota Zoo and in the defendant’s own neighbor-hood, according to the criminal complaint. Dean Kenneth Lindo, 38, is charged with five counts of interference with privacy, a felony. Girls in the photos taken from memory cards of Lindo’s camera and phone appear to be about 5 to 12, the complaint said. According to the com-plaint: A man at the Robert Trail Library in Rose-mount grew suspicious on June 12 when Lindo sat di-rectly across from his two

daughters at a computer desk. The man saw Lindo pull his hands back from underneath the desk. He was holding a camera and phone. The man asked for them, and Lindo handed them over. The man brought them to a library employee, who called Rosemount po-lice. The officer reviewed the images and seized the camera and phone. The camera had black electrical tape over most of the flash, leaving only a small, partial flash. Executing a search war-rant on June 23, police searched memory cards and found 675 images on the camera and 23 on the cell phone. Nearly all focused on the pubic areas and in-ner thighs of young girls. Most of the cell-phone images appeared to have

been taken inside a home. The photos indicated the photographer may have been playing a game with the subjects. Police determined the identities of three of the children, including a 10-year-old girl whose pho-to was taken at the Rose-mount library on June 12. Another was a 5-year-old girl who lived in Lin-do’s neighborhood. Photos show her in a sandbox, on a sofa and on the carpet in a living room. The girl’s mother told police Lindo had moved into the neighborhood re-cently and “was attempting to befriend her, showing an unusual interest in her younger children.” She said she had allowed her chil-dren to “play in the back-yard with the defendant’s son.” She said there were two occasions when her daugh-ter and Lindo were alone together in his apartment and his garage. A 3-year-old girl from Lindo’s neighborhood was also identified. Her mother told police Lindo had once offered to watch her chil-dren for 15 minutes while she ran an errand.

Man charged with photographing young girls

Bus Rapid Transit needs $18.6 millionCounty applying for federal grant for Cedar Avenue routeby Laura Adelmann

THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Dakota County still needs another $18.6 mil-lion to follow through on plans for station-to-station bus service on Cedar Av-enue by 2012. The Regional Rail Au-thority, which is the Da-kota County Board, autho-rized on July 13 seeking the money through a federal grant from the U.S. Trans-portation Department. County Transit Special-ist Sam O’Connell said in a similar 2009 round of funding, more than 1,400 applications were received,

carrying funding requests totalling $60 billion. Funding was granted for just 51 projects at a cost of almost $1.5 billion. Based on that outcome, O’Connell said the county’s chances of being selected for the money were slim. Other sources for the funding gap include the Counties Transit Improve-ment Board, which dispers-es funds collected through the quarter-cent sales tax increase for transit some counties implemented in 2008. The county is plan-ning on using CTIB funds to pay for up to half of the annual operating and maintenance costs for the services, estimated at $1.77 million annually (in 2009 dollars). According to the coun-ty, this $18.6 million re-quest would be used to complete the first stage of development for the Cedar Transitway. Included is a new lay-over facility in Apple Val-ley, station-to-station and local service vehicles, a new 161st Street station in Lakeville, improvements to the Lakeville Cedar Transit Station and technologies to allow off-board fare collec-tion, informational signs

and transit signal priority equipment. In addition to requesting funds, the RRA approved release of the updated Cedar Avenue Transitway Implementation Plan for a 30-day public review and comment. According to the plan, five park-and-ride facilities will serve the transitway with 2,860 spaces. In the future, addi-tional park-and-rides may be built or spaces may be added to the Apple Valley Transit Station. Construction for the bus-only shoulders on Ce-dar Avenue between 138th Street and 181st Street is expected to begin this fall and be completed by fall 2012 in time for the start of station-to-station service. Express bus service to and from downtown Min-neapolis will continue to use the bus-only shoul-ders on Cedar Avenue and Trunk Highway 62. The county will learn if the project was selected for the grant funding by this fall. For more information, visit the county’s website, www.co.dakota.mn.us.


Dakota CountyBurnsvillePhoto by Laura Adelmann

Dakota County com-missioners Paul Krause (left), Tom Egan and Will Branning were all smiles upon learning the county’s bond rating with Standard & Poor’s had reached the AAA level. The achieve-ment means the county has achieved the highest possible bond rating from both Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s Investor Services, a distinction only five counties in Min-nesota have achieved.

A four-acre nature area at 140th Street and 142nd Path in Apple Val-ley has been named “Robert L. Erick-son Park” in honor of a city leader who died during his term on the City Council. Robert “Bob” Erickson, who died in February 2008 after a battle with lung cancer, served the city for more than 25 years as a member of the council, the Plan-ning Commission and the Parks and Recreation Commission. Council Member Tom Goodwin, who helped spearhead the effort to rename the city-owned parcel of land, called his former colleague “one of the true city fathers of this community.” “(Erickson was) simply one of the finest people I’ve met in public service,” said Goodwin, a council member since 1984. “He’s sadly missed for a whole bunch of reasons.” The park, which con-tains a segment of the Barbara Savanick Trail and whose western hill is a popular winter sledding spot, previously had no name, other than the legal

description of “Outlot B, Greenleaf 11th Addition.” “For all these years it has been called ‘public

open space’ and it hasn’t really had a proper name,” City Administrator Tom Lawell said. Goodwin said the “nature area” feel of the park will be retained. “We may clear

some buckthorn out of there,” he said. “We’re not cutting into that sliding hill at all.” No playground equip-ment or other big infra-structure is planned at this time, according to Randy Johnson, the city’s Parks and Recreation director. Benches in memory of Er-ickson, and signs, will be installed in August. “That’s really about it for right now,” Johnson said. “We may do some-thing down the road in a year or two.” The City Council ap-proved the naming of the park at its July 8 meeting. A date for the park’s dedi-cation ceremony has not been set, but Johnson said a ceremony likely will be held in September. Andrew Miller is at [email protected].

Tracy Brunn, left, was the winner of the “Rally for the Cure” closest-to-the-pin contest held July 13 at Valleywood Golf Course in Apple Valley. The contest, which had Valleywood’s Ladies 18-Hole League golfers taking their best swings on the course’s par-3 hole No. 2, raised about $1,300 (through the contest’s $20 entry fee and business sponsorships), and the money will be donated to breast cancer research and awareness in connection with the Susan G. Komen Foundation. “All the money stays in the seven-county metro area,” said event chair Kathy Bias (right), a member of the Ladies 18-Hole League and a breast cancer survivor. This is the first year “Rally

for the Cure” was held at Valleywood, and Bias said the plan is to make it an annual event. Brunn’s winning shot was 107 inches, or just under 9 feet, from the pin on the 121-yard hole; the first-place prize was a new Cleveland golf bag.

Coffee with a Cop continues


Rosemount Leprechaun Days is under new leader-ship this year after it elected new officers in August 2009. Laura Briggs has served as committee president this year while Diane Well-man, Tom Anderson and Laura Emiola have been the group’s vice president, trea-surer and secretary, respec-tively. The elevation of these previously serving commit-tee members to these of-fices aims to re-energize the group as the tough work undertaken by the executive committee is shouldered by new people at least every three years. All of the previous ex-ecutive committee members are still part of the commit-tee as they are lending their knowledge from past expe-rience to the group. Briggs knows it has been helpful to have that “insti-tutional memory” on the committee as the event has many recurring tasks and guidelines. She knows that from her own experience. Last year, she served as event chair-person coordinating the schedule of events with the various businesses and non-profits that participate in Leprechaun Days. With her recent experi-ence with that, she has coor-dinated the event schedule again this year. “Leprechaun Days has come to be what it is be-cause of a great group of volunteers and a great com-munity,” she said. “Without that, it wouldn’t be pos-sible.” Briggs took some time recently to have a question-and-answer session with Thisweek. Following are some of her responses. Q: Why do you think it is important to volunteer in an event like this?

A: It’s important to be a volunteer because Lep-rechaun Days doesn’t just happen on its own. It takes a committee and the com-munity to make something like this as great as it is. Q: If someone were think-ing about getting involved in Leprechaun Days, what would you say to them? A: I would say “Wel-come!” I encourage every-one to become involved in Leprechaun Days. It’s great for youth groups, nonprof-its, businesses, lifelong resi-dents, and even newcomers to the area. I can’t think of a better way to meet people, and really feel like you are a part of something. Q: What led to your involvement with Lepre-chaun Days? A: I was look-ing for an op-p o r t u -nity to get in-v o l v e d in the c o m m u -nity, and a co-worker recommended Leprechaun Days to me. I couldn’t be more grateful to be involved with such a great group of peo-ple. Q: What has been the most rewarding part of it? A: It’s amazing to be

able to just sit back and watch everyone having a great time, because then you know all the work was worth it. Q: What are you most looking forward to during Leprechaun Days? A: I’m really looking forward to Johnny Holm on Friday night. I also am excited to see what the Blue-grass Americana weekend turns into. I think it will re-ally be great. Q: What has been your reaction to seeing the events in past years? A: It amazes me. I’ve seen “town events” before, but nothing like Lepre-

chaun Days. There is a lot of work that

goes into ev-erything,

but it’s r e a l l y wor th it once it all comes t o -gether.

T h e r e is some-

thing for e v e r yo n e

during the 10 days. I also love

that anybody can get involved. If you want an event that isn’t around yet – it’s so easy to start one of your own.
