Library renovation to begin in December

Students find their way on first day

Temporary location will be set up at second floor of City Hall by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The noise inside the Farmington Library will perhaps be the loudest its ever been when construction crews begin a $1.3 million renovation project in December. The newly remodeled location is scheduled to reopen by the beginning of summer 2014. Until then, the second floor of Farmington City Hall will serve as the temporary location starting at the end of November. The renovation will add about 3,500 square feet by tearing out a back wall, which used to be leased to the Farmington School District. The new space will come in handy as the popularity of the library continues to grow. “Our meeting room holds 160 people and we reach maximum occupancy pretty fast,” Farm-

ington Library manager Barb Svoboda said. “We had 165 people come in for a magician program in August and the summer reading program had 852 kids participate. We have a lot of folks in and out. I’m sure the space we’re expanding into will be used.” Another upgrade users will notice will be the way in which books are checked in. A new automated material handling machine will help sort large quantities of books and speed the process of re-shelving. “It will also reassures patrons that their materials have been checked in as opposed to it just sitting on the counter,” Svoboda said. “It’s reassuring to know that it’s taken off your account right away.” Four new one- or two-person private study rooms with doors will be installed.

Three historic buildings in the Dakota City Heritage Village in Farmington are in the process of being restored thanks to a $50,000 grant from the Arts and Cultural Heritage fund. The grant will pay for the restoration of the 1867 Vermilion Presbyterian Church, the District 96

One Room School and the Dakota City Gift Shop. Work began in July and should be finished by midOctober. The main focus of the project was dealing with lead paint, which has to be abated or encapsulated and repainted. The project also included repairs to windows, doors, chimneys and siding. Restoring historical buildings requires a special touch. “It’s always a delicate thing to replace those doors,” said Lynn Stegmaier, a volunteer who serves as the collection chairperson and she’s responsible for the buildings. “They See GRANT, 12A

INDEX

After months of discussion, the Farmington City Council gritted their teeth and approved a proposed 2014 tax levy and budget Tuesday night. New state requirements forced the council to revise and chop away

its original 2014 budget, which called for a 5.87 percent levy increase. The city approved its budget draft version No. 2 with a 1.92 percent levy increase. The biggest portion of savings comes from reducing funds for one police patrol staff, saving approximately $97,000. The police department makes up 45.45 percent of personnel cost and 37 percent of the total expenditures in the 2014 budget. Since 2006, the city has

Flint Hills Resources welcomes 120 grazing goats Effort is part of habitat restoration along Mississippi River in Rosemount For several years, Flint Hills Resources and Friends of the Mississippi River have used people power in the fight against invasive buckthorn. Now the organizations are bringing in the ringers – 120 hungry goats ready to chomp, crunch and chew the trees that can wipe out native species. Over a two-week period the goats will roam several acres inside a fenced-in section of the company’s property along the Mississippi River in an area known as the Pine Bend Bluffs Natural Area. The goats will help control shrubs and reduce overgrowth. Their hooves will also work native seeds into the ground as they

Flint Hills Resources is partnering with Friends of the Mississippi River and Great River Greening on the new goat grazing program, which is part of the company’s long-standing

habitat restoration program. “This grazing project is a natural way to get rid of unwanted buckthorn before winter without using power equipment and chemicals,” said Wiley

Buck, restoration ecologist with Great River Greening. “Goats are well-suited for this because they enjoy prickly brush and weeds, and their agility allows them to easily navigate the bluffs.”

Flint Hills has worked with Friends of the Mississippi River and Great River Greening on the Pine Bend Bluffs since 2000 to remove invasive species and plants, stack pre-cut buckthorn brush, and assist with other restoration tasks. One of the goals of the partnership is to reclaim important habitat for the Mississippi River flyway, a migration corridor for millions of songbirds and 40 percent of North America’s waterfowl and shorebirds. The Pine Bend Bluffs Natural Area is comprised of natural prairie, savanna, and oak woodland that provides critical habitat for both resident and migratory animals. “It has been incredible to watch the transformation of the Pine Bend Bluffs over the last 13 years,” said Don Kern, engineering and facilities manager at Flint Hills

Resources. “Thanks to the hard work of countless volunteers, including many of our employees, the natural habitat around the bluffs is well on its way to being restored to conditions that precede the modern settlement of our state.” The Pine Bend Bluffs Natural Area is an Environmental Initiative award winner for natural resource protection and is designated as an area of outstanding biological diversity by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. In addition to the restoration work, the Pine Bend Bluffs Natural Area is used to educate area students about the environment and importance of restoring and preserving natural habitats.

District 196 again outperforms state average on MCAs Most grades tested improve from 2012 by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Students in the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District once again outperformed the state average on the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments. Across all grade levels,

District 196 saw a higher percentage of proficiency in reading, math and science than the state average, according to the results released Aug. 27 by the Minnesota Department of Education. For instance, 75 percent of 10th-graders in District 196 scored proficient or better on the reading test, which is 13 percentage points higher than the state average of 62 per-

cent. At the same time, 68 percent of 11th-graders in District 196 scored proficient or better on the math test, which is 16 percentage points higher than the state average. District 196 students exceed the state average nearly every year. “I think our student performance is a combination of students who work hard and take school work serious, and dedicated teachers,” said Steve Troen, director of teaching and learning in District 196. The MCAs are given annually to students in grades three through eight and 10 in reading, and in grades three through eight and 11 in math. Fifth- and eighth-graders as well as high school students who complete the life science curriculum take the science test. More than 13,000 District 196 students took the MCAs last

spring. The MCAs measure student performance on the Minnesota Academic Standards, which define what students should know and be able to do in a particular grade. Students earn a score that falls into one of four achievement levels: does not meet the standards, partially meets the standards, meets the standards and exceeds the standards. Students who meet or exceed the standards are considered proficient in the subject area. In addition to exceeding the state average, most District 196 students showed progress from the year before. A greater percentage of students in grades four, six, seven, and 11 scored proficient or better on the math test this year than in 2012. Eleventh-graders saw the greatest improvement with a 14 percent increase in proficiency. Proficiency among

District 196 students who took the science test increased across all grade levels tested. The percentage of students who scored proficient increased by 6 percent in grade five, by 5 percent in grade eight and by less than 1 percent in high school. A few grades in District 196 saw marginal decreases in proficiency compared to 2012, but continued to outperform the state average. The percentage of District 196 students who scored proficient in math decreased by 1 percent in third grade, and by 2 percent in eighth grade compared to 2012. With 76 percent proficiency among district third-graders and 63 percent proficiency among district eighth-graders, both grades continue to outperform the state average of 71 percent for third grade and 59 percent for eighth grade.

The percentage of District 196 fifth-graders who scored proficient in math stayed about the same at 68 percent when compared to 2012. Proficiency among students in math in all grades has steadily gone up in some grades tested and fluctuated in others. Since 2011, when the MCA math test was made more rigorous, the percentage of students in grades five, six, seven, eight and 11 has steadily increased. The percentage of proficiency among third- and fourthgraders has fluctuated slightly over the past two years. A comparison of reading test scores cannot be made since the MCA reading test given in 2013 is new and based on more challenging standards.

Rosemount man charged with felonies after receiving marijuana in the mail The Dakota County Sheriff’s Department charged on Aug. 29 Herbert Lee Gildersleeve, 39, of Rosemount, with fifth-degree possession and intent to sell a controlled substance with prior convictions, both felonies. According to the police report, Gildersleeve received a package that was shipped overnight from California containing 12-pounds of marijuana to an acquaintance’s residence in Farmington in January. The Dakota County Drug Task Force was contacted Jan. 18 by Airport Police regarding a suspicious, large package that was paid for with cash for overnight delivery. A K-9 unit was brought in and went straight for the package after officers told the dog to “seek dope.” After a search warrant was obtained for the package, they discovered 12 pounds of marijuana in heat-sealed

packages. The package was resealed and delivered by an undercover Airport Police officer posing as a FedEx driver to the address in Farmington. Officers observed Gildersleeve retrieve the package and approached the residence. Officers breached the entrance after no one inside answered their knocks, and Gildersleeve was arrested upstairs. One of the homeowners, who was home at the time, denied any knowledge of the contents of the package, and stated Gildersleeve was the boyfriend of a cousin. The two counts carry a combined penalty of up to 20 years and/or $40,000 in fines. Court records from Hennepin County District Court show that the Gildersleeve received a stay of adjudication on a controlled substance crime in 2009. - Andy Rogers

Nursing homes depend on Capitol decisions Some say state funding has not kept up with rising costs by Howard Lestrud SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Underfunded nursing home care has been a major challenge to the state in recent years and will continue to be addressed in the future, many legislators and health care professionals predict. During the last session of the Minnesota Legislature, nursing home legislation was adopted, creating a 5 percent across-theboard increase. That action by the Legislature represented the first increase in funding in the past five years. Nursing home workers have had their wages frozen since 2008 and will now be seeing an increase in wages come Sept. 1, 2013. Rep. Jim Abeler, RAnoka, said, of the $83 million it will cost for four years, $74 million was recycled out of the nursing home industry. “Workers will see a raise, but it will come out of the other nursing home money that was recycled,” Abeler said. “It’s like taking your wallet out of your right pocket and putting it into your left pocket and saying, ‘I’ve got some money now,’” Abeler said. “The system is starving for money, and we can’t give the people a good raise because of the pressures about minimum wage,” Abeler continued. Abeler, last session, served as the ranking Republican on the Health and Human Services Finance Committee. He chaired the committee the two previous years with Republicans being in leadership control. Gayle Kvenvold, president and chief executive officer of Aging Services of Minnesota, said needs of nursing homes have not been adequately addressed by the Legislature and by others. The action by the Legislature “was a step in the right direction and we are grateful for it, but our job is not done,” Kvenvold said. On the average, the difference between what it costs to take care of a senior is a shortfall of $28 per day, Kvenvold said. She said it will take more than one legislative session to make up that difference. Aging Services of Minnesota is the state’s largest association of aging services organizations. Its membership encompasses more than 1,000 member organizations including 700-plus provider member sites. In concert with its members, the association works with more than 50,000 caregivers throughout the state and serves more than 100,000 seniors each year in settings across the continuum from their home to congregate housing to assisted living to care centers. Patti Cullen, president and CEO of Care Providers of Minnesota, said the legislative action in 2013 represented a significant increase and is a “good start.” “With years of no increases and growing mandates, we have a ways to go before this profession is on financially sound ground,” Cullen said. Cullen said the wage gap between staff in nursing homes and similar positions in hospitals is dramatic, and with the job market picking up, “we will have a hard time keeping our positions filled.” She said the wage gap for registered nurses is more than $35,000 per year. “The Legislature heard our message about the need to give increases to our workers,” Cullen said last session.

Improving care Rep. Patti Fritz, DFLFaribault, who served on the Health and Human Services Finance Committee with Abeler, said the 2013 Legislature made

it a priority “to invest in better care for our seniors who were cut deeply by the previous Legislature.” In many areas, nursing homes don’t pay enough to keep employees around, Fritz said. Fritz worked 30-plus years at the St. Lucas Care Center in Faribault as an licensed practical nurse. As a legislator, she is serving her fifth term and has made it her focus to improve senior and nursing care statewide. “It’s critically important that we improve care as we prepare for the impending ‘age wave,’ ” she said. Minnesota, like states across the nation, will experience a significant demographic shift during the next 20 years as baby boomers enter retirement, Fritz said. She said Minnesota’s population of adults over age 65 will increase from 12 percent to 20 percent by 2030. “The policy implications of this demographic shift are substantial,” Fritz said. “We need to ensure that our nursing homes have adequate funding to provide care for seniors and people with disabilities who are no longer able to live independently, and in addition, we need to recognize that many older Minnesotans prefer to remain in their own home, with adequate in-home care support.” Care for the elderly has changed considerably during the past decade, Abeler said. “It’s moving more toward assisted living and keeping people in their homes, and so the need for nursing home beds is reducing,” he said. “Nursing homes are struggling to stay full,” Abeler said, and he said some are closing where they are needed. Abeler praised the construction of a new nursing home and elderly living complex called The Homestead of Anoka. It features a 120-bed Anoka Rehabilitation and Living Center, along with 59 apartment units, a mix of independent and assisted living. The move to keep people in their homes at an older age “is really smart and is a good value,” Abeler said. “This represents a better life for the people and the system has to change to evolve into places like The Homestead where people can age in place,” Abeler said. During his chairmanship of Health and Human Services in 2011-12, Abeler said he learned about life and death. “I didn’t sleep well for four months” when working on the Health and Human Services budget, Abeler recalled, pointing out that if he did it wrong, someone could die. After months of negotiation, Abeler said he was assured by the budget settlement, which saw more than $1 billion in cuts, that no lives would be jeapordized. “I slept for eight hours that night,” he said. Abeler said a large amount of money was invested in health care for poor people and programs for the disabled were starved. That includes nursing homes, he said. Abeler said more could have been done this past session to help nursing homes. He said he would have preferred a funding total closer to $100 million. “There’s nothing but challenges with costs going up, the demand increasing with Obama Care, and Export Credit Agency insurance requests have not been addressed,” Abeler said. He said that becomes a big burden on the system and some people think it could be a $100 million impact with the penalty for not having insurance. Abeler pointed out that a third to a half of the population does not

(Photo by Howard Lestrud) have insurance for nursing homes and cannot afford to pay it. “The decade of 2000 has not been friendly to nursing homes in terms of getting large increases,” Abeler said. He said the new, purported 5 percent increase is only about 0.6 of a percent of real money. The rate increase is “something workers can be happy with, but it doesn’t go anywhere near solving the problems,” Abeler said.

Shifts in care Care for the elderly has shifted downstream, Cullen said. “Those seniors whose frail conditions required hospitalizations in the past are not being cared for in skilled nursing facilities; most of the former skilled nursing facility residents are receiving services either in assisted living settings or at their family home with services being brought in,” she said. “The seniors currently residing in nursing homes are more frail than in the past and stay for a much shorter period of time. The median length of stay in a nursing home today is under 30 days. “Today nursing homes tend to serve seniors who fall into a few categories: those requiring posthospital care, such as rehabilitation after surgeries; those with advanced dementia; those receiving end of life care; and those with multiple clinical conditions.” Because the state controls nursing home budgets, many nursing homes reduced staff benefits or wages to balance the budget, according to Cullen. “We believe that paying solid wages and benefits to retain good staff is the biggest improvement we can make – consistent, quality staff makes all of the difference in our hightouch profession,” Cullen said. Kvenvold said state nursing homes do a really fine job, especially in the light of the economic challenges the country has faced. “We can hold our heads high with any state in the nation,” Kvenvold said. AARP, formerly known as the American Association of Retired Persons, almost two years ago released a national report card on nursing home and home-based community care showing Minnesota ranked No. 1 in the nation for quality of care providers. The report examined nursing homes on quality of life, quality of care, support for family caregivers and choices available for seniors. The biggest change in elderly care, according to Kvenvold, relates to seniors having “a lot more options where they can receive care and support.” Seniors now use nursing home care less with shorter terms of stay and more than 50 percent of the people in for rehabilitation being discharged. “This is very different than 20 to 30 years ago when a nursing home resident stayed until the end of life,” Kvenvold said. There is more of a trend toward wellness services than ever before, Kvenvold said. Lifestyle practices affect healthy

aging, for example an exercise regimen, no smoking, following good dietary practices and a trend toward wellness, she said. A whole new array of services is available for seniors in nursing homes, assisted living or in their homes. Nursing homes are also now working more closely with hospitals and physicians. Readmission rates are now lower because nursing homes do a good job of discharge planning and sustaining themselves in a community setting, Kvenvold said. Due to the explosion of the senior population, “we’re going to be stretched to find caregivers,” Kvenvold said. Those who are making caregiving their career are seeing lower-paid jobs, which tend not to have preferred benefits. The challenge then becomes how to raise benefits for caregivers to attract younger people into the vocation. “We must make caregiving the best career choice possible,” she said. Another challenge, Kvenvold said, is underfunding. Going without an increase in wages over four years is not a good long-term formula for quality care, Kvenvold said. A state initiative, Own Your Future, is currently educating people on the risks of meeting longterm care. “When we are in our 30s, 40s and 50s, we must plan how we are going to pay for our health care in

It’s a stunning fact, she said, that only 12 percent have long-term insurance and over half of Minnesotans have no plan at all. “We must help people become aware that Medicare does not really cover long-term care,” Kvenvold said. The majority of Minnesotans support investment in senior care, Kvenvold said, emphasizing independence. “Our seniors want to stay home as long as possible, and they tend to view access to quality of senior care as a right, not

a privilege,” she continued. “As Minnesotans, we have the responsibility to provide dignified, good quality care to seniors as they age,” Kvenvold said. It must be impressed on our legislators, Kvenvold said, that senior care is responsible for 100,000 jobs and $4 billion going to the economy. “The quality of persons delivering care is amazing and really inspiring,” she said.

September 5, 2013 DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Dual credit choices for students essential “School Choice” and Minnesota schools have been partners for several decades. This is the state that gave birth to charter schools, open enrollment and post-secondary options. The state has promoted and developed high school courses that qualify for college credit, or more inclusively, post-secondary education credit. Many state high schools offer a wide selection of Advanced Placement courses, the International Baccalaureate program and College in the Schools courses. Our technical colleges, community colleges and four-year institutions provide opportunities for high school students to take courses at their institutions while remaining enrolled in high school. The ECM Editorial Board supports the expansion of quality shared-credit high school courses for our students and we encourage state officials to develop a systematic plan for expanded dual credit opportunities. Choice of courses and/or school campus comes with added responsibility. Student interest is one element; planning for post-secondary education and career is the other. Whether students are headed toward a technical-based career, a professional calling or pursuit of a specific talent or skill, looking out to the years immediately following high school is important. You can both “live for the moment” and “plan for the future,” but anticipating “what comes next” is critical. High school courses or post-secondary op-

ECM Editorial tions that share a high school/college credit can give a student a lift on the learning experience and decrease the cost of college. Dual credit courses, however, are more rigorous and require harder work and more preparation (even in the middle school years) and that need for preparation must also be anticipated. Choice can range from “which school should I attend” to “which courses should I take.” Choice can allow the student to stay on the high school campus or attend the post-secondary campus. There are now many pathways to successful learning through high school and beyond and there is room for many more. We think the total high school experience is of great value and importance for most students. Students who don’t want a compromised experience but want dual credit should be able to achieve both. High school and college officials have to cooperate if students are to get the most out of both their high school and post-high school experience. As in any movement toward change institutional defenses can come into play. Protecting the home turf is a natural first reaction to change. In Minnesota there is evidence of cooperation among secondary and postsecondary schools. We encourage that movement. The focus should be on student freedom to choose and opportunity

to learn; not on the need to maintain the institution’s current mode of operation. There are issues that school and state officials need to address. Schools are meant to be universal and accessible to all. Choice that leads to socioeconomic segregation runs totally contrary to the purpose of education in a democratic/capitalist society. Education must serve as an equalizer providing opportunity and upper mobility to all. School, program and course selection needs to broaden and not limit that opportunity to all socioeconomic groups. Choice can come with expense that only some can afford especially the cost of transportation when multiple campuses are attended. The state needs to consider subsidies and/or transportation systems that carry these costs for families. Choice can be limited by geography and the availability of post-secondary institutions. We need to do more to bring the courses to students and not the students to the course or campus. Technology based learning is a reality and its role in creating dual credit opportunities is both evolutionary and revolu-

tionary. Students can currently access online PSEO courses that are offered by post-secondary institutions. School districts are creating their own distance learning options such as the new Anoka-Hennepin “StepAhead” High School that is designed as a full time, online high school with access to dual credit opportunities and available statewide. We need to support a state plan for the further development of technology-supported education that will reach all areas of the state and help mitigate the disadvantages of geography. High school, college and state officials should continue to provide more dual credit choices for students, we strongly believe. We recommend a state coordinated plan for further advancing shared courses between high school and post high school institutions and we recommend learning paths include industry certification programs that lead to employment.

After more than a decade of state budget crises brought on by so-called conservative fiscal policies, Minnesotans are beginning to reap the benefits of sound government management under progressive leadership. “The state has a balanced budget, a projected structural balance in the out years, has filled the cash flow and budget reserve accounts and repaid twothirds of the previous education shifts,” Jim Schowalter, the state’s chief money manager, said after a Wall Street rating agency upgraded Minnesota’s financial outlook from negative to stable on July 30. “The recently passed biennial budget did the job to balance a projected deficit without the use of one-time measures.” The move by Moody’s Investors Service offers hope for a prompt restoration of Minnesota’s customary top bond ratings from all three financial raters, which lowered them a notch in 2011 in response to conservative-driven one-time measures to shore up the state’s books. And that should mean better bargains for the state in bond markets as it seeks to address deferred maintenance of public facilities and pent-up demand for new ones that will drive economic growth across Minnesota. As it was, great interest-rate bargains for state borrowing have been out there ever since the Bush-era financial meltdown of 2008. Unfortunately, conserva-

Guest Columnist

Conrad deFiebre tive Minnesota policymakers were too timid to take much advantage of money on sale for public construction and upkeep projects – largely motivated by the doubtful philosophy that the best public sector is the smallest one possible. In the Great Recession and jobless recovery that followed, both employment and the state’s capital stock would have been significantly improved with more aggressive bonding that could have stayed well within debt service guidelines issued under Gov. Tim Pawlenty in 2009. But Pawlenty and other conservatives essentially said, to paraphrase the old oil-filter commercial, we won’t pay for pressing needs now, and we won’t pay for them later, either, if we can help it. This pound-foolish obstructionism persisted even after last August’s $658.5 million state bond sale drew the lowest interest rates in Minnesota history, ranging from 1.02 percent to 2.38 percent for various types of debt. That was at or below inflation, practically free money. But Gov. Mark Dayton’s recommended $750 million bonding program was slashed last spring by nearly 80 percent, to $154.1 million in general obligation borrowing,

when minority conservatives lined up en masse to deny the necessary 60 percent approval votes. Certainly, few expected the governor’s full request to be enacted in an operating-budget session that is traditionally light on bonding. Still, given the once-ina-lifetime environment for public credit, the final product was exceedingly pared down, zeroing out nearly everything but flood mitigation and long-delayed renovations of the State Capitol and state veterans home. There wasn’t a dime for higher education facilities, transportation or a long list of other needs. Prospects for robust capital improvements are much better in next year’s short election-year session at the Capitol. But the great opportunities of the past few years for low-low interest rates and contract bids are fading. A sale of $478.4 million in state bonds last week (including some authorized years earlier) attracted interest rates of 1.91 percent to 3.35 percent. That’s up sharply from a year ago, but still well below historic levels, said John Pollard, spokesman for the Minnesota Management and Budget Department. “The economy is doing better, so the interest rates are higher,” Pollard said. “But they’re still pretty low and likely to go up in the future. It’s better to borrow sooner rather than later. And our needs have piled up.” On the construction cost side of the equation, the hard times that were good for public budgets are a-changin’. Where

bids for everything from bridges to fire stations were coming in well under estimates in the past few years, now they often are exceeding appropriations and causing projects to be scratched or delayed, according to a recent Star Tribune report. Meanwhile, a rebound in private construction combined with migration of contractors to the booming North Dakota oil patch has led to shortages in Minnesota of workers, equipment and materials that is bound to impact public works, too. We may have let slip away the best chance in generations to build and maintain the excellent public facilities Minnesotans deserve and expect. But the stars are still aligned far better than the period before 2008. Minnesota’s tax-supported debt capacity is more than $800 million, according to an official February calculation of $1.3 billion based on the Pawlenty-era guidelines after subtracting last week’s bond sale. It’s likely to be significantly greater by next spring with scheduled debt retirement and current strong growth in benchmark state personal income. The needs haven’t gone away and the price of filling them remains discounted. Policymakers next year should grab onto what’s left of an historic opportunity to build our shared wealth.

Republicans should support carbon tax To the editor: Climate change is a reality against which all Americans need a battle plan. This is not a partisan issue as documented by the recent editorial written for the New York Times by former EPA chiefs William Ruckelhaus, Lee Thomas, William Reilly, and Christine Todd Whitman. They all reinforced the necessity of national and international action to reduce the rise of ocean levels and to combat increasing temperatures: the 10 warmest years on record have occurred in the last 15. These “free market Republicans” urge, as I do, a carbon tax to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions. President Obama’s path for regulatory change is a good first step. How-

ever, Congress needs to pass a more ambitious carbon-tax plan. This should include tax breaks for businesses developing innovative methods to reduce carbon emissions. In this way, Republicans can approach the carbon tax as market-based progress to an eminent environmental disaster. Thoughtful Republican environmental experts see the urgent need to pass a carbon tax. I urge all citizens to encourage their legislators to follow the lead of these prominent experts and support a bill to address an issue, which is reaching a point of no return. To quote the former EPA chiefs: “What is most clear is that there is no time to waste!” The exclamation point is mine. DEBRA M. RIGGS Lakeville

Don’t acquit Kline’s stunts

ror. I thank Glab for his explanation of the Federal Reserve but his claim of many factual errors is an exaggeration plus his criticism of ECM is unjustified. Any submission reflects only the opinion of the author. Instead, we need to focus on the fact that Kline’s “market-based solution” increases the cost of education, hurts us, his constituents, and only benefits some of the upper 1 percent crowd. In 2007, under the Democratic leadership, Congress provided student loans rates of 3.4 percent. Rather than improving on that and making things better, like the Federal Reserve did for mortgage rates, Kline and his party agitated and obstructed to change it to the more expensive for-profit “market-based solution.” Civilized societies think of their kids and education as an investment – not as a market-based profit source for a few rich folks. I am optimistic that good long-term solutions are possible if we remove from office those working only for profit of the 1 percent materialist – like we see Kline doing.

To the editor: Corey Glab’s letter in the Aug. 23 edition clams that I committed many factual errors in my Aug. 16 letter. I scrutinized my writing and found in the first sentence only one term namely “our tax money” instead of just the word JOE NIEDERMAYR “money” as a factual er- Lakeville

Resource Centers team with area nonprofits to address food access Food shelf seeks partners to study issue, supply fresh produce by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

As demand at food shelves continues to rise in Dakota County, area nonprofits are working together to improve access. Representatives from governmental agencies and nonprofits across the state, including the Eagan and Lakeville Resource Centers, gathered in Duluth on Aug. 13-15 for the second annual Food Access Summit, which addresses food access issues in Minnesota. “It’s not just accessing food, it’s accessing healthy food,” said Lisa Horn, executive director of the Eagan and Lakeville Resource Centers, which operates two food shelves in Eagan and Lakeville. Food access extends beyond food shelves, and includes the struggle many families face in “food deserts” like Dakota County, said Horn, who attended the three-day summit. “Food deserts” are defined by the USDA as urban and rural communities where access to grocery stores is limited by distance and a lack of reliable transportation. “Many families rely on convenience stores and fast food,” Horn said. In discussing these issues, participants of the summit aimed to raise awareness and find ways to bring more healthy options to their communities. The Eagan and Lakeville Resource Centers has been on the forefront of on this movement. In 2007, it began offering fresh produce, dairy and meats at its two food shelves, called the Pantry. A few years later, the nonprof-

The Eagan and Lakeville Resource Centers provide six gardens in Dakota County in which low-income families can grow their own food. The gardens are part of the nonprofit’s Garden To Table program, which also includes gardening classes, cooking demonstrations and other events that promote healthy eating. (Photo submitted) it formed a partnership with the Eagan YMCA and other organizations to plant mission gardens that supply much of its produce in the warmer months. The Resource Centers also formed its Garden To Table program in which families can grow vegetables and herbs from seeds provided by the nonprofit on one of six sites in Dakota County. Families must go through an application process to acquire a plot. The program also incudes gardening classes, cooking demonstrations and other events to encourage healthy eating. In 2012, the Eagan and Lakeville Resource Centers took to the streets with its Mobile Pantry, a refurbished bus that provides fresh foods at sites throughout the county. Despite a slight uptick in the economy, demand has soared at the Resource Centers from 350 families each month in 2009 to 1,300 families in 2013. “This summer has been even more critical,” Horn said. “From

she said. While attending the summit, Horn met a representative of the Hmong Farmers Cooperative of Minnesota who said its members often face wasted food due to changing markets. After the meeting, Horn said she is considering a potential partnership to meet both their needs. “It would be a great way to support the local economy,” she said. “By supporting the local system, we can improve access to healthy foods for those who need it.” The Resource Centers have also recently partnered with Burnsville nonprofit Woodhill Urban Agriculture and Valley Natural Foods co-op to form a food policy council that will examine barriers and possible inequities within Dakota County’s food system. The group is currently seeking members and those interested can contact Horn at lisahorn@ eaganrc.org.

However, this summer has seen a greater increase than the last, Horn said. “Part of the growth is a result of becoming more visible,” Horn said. “But if the trend stays at an almost 30 percent increase every year, it will become clear that there’s a growing need.” In addition to discussing access issues, the summit provides a place to make connections with potential partners, Horn said.

No one injured in two-alarm house fire Farmington and Lakeville fire departments combined efforts to douse a house fire at 1208 Locust St. in Farmington on Aug. 30. After arriving on the scene at 4:22 p.m. heavy fire was visible from the back of the house. It was extending toward neighboring homes, so the Farmington fire department asked for aid from Lakeville, which added to engines to the effort. The departments were able to control the fire by 5 p.m. No one was home at the time of the fire and an onlooker retrieved a dog from the home prior to the Farmington Fire Department’s arrival. Estimated damage to the structures and content is about $300,000.

Hookah finds a home in Burnsville by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Mohamed Taha of Bloomington usually drove north to Columbia Heights when he wanted to smoke hookah while meeting and making friends. The young entrepreneur took a gamble on bringing hookah culture closer to home, and it appears to have paid off. The Sudan-born Taha opened Taha Hookah in June, the first indoor hookah lounge south of the river. After having to turn away customers on busy Friday and Saturday nights, Taha expanded into 1,500 square feet of adjoining space that opened Aug. 19. That more than doubled the size of the lounge, located at 12010 County Road 11 in Burnsville, to 2,400 square feet and a capacity of up to 120 customers. Located in a strip mall just south of Highway 13, Taha Hookah is one of four hookah lounges in the Twin Cities, Taha said. The other three — including Pyramid Cafe, his longtime hangout — are in Columbia Heights, he said. “We need something out there, because I know there’s a lot of people in the suburbs that commute all the way to that side of town for hookah,” Taha said on a quiet Friday afternoon, before the rush of customers he promised would arrive later. The smoking of flavored tobaccos through a water pipe, or hookah, often in a social setting, is centuries old but has grown more popular in Minnesota with new immigrant arrivals. For Taha, who came to the United States in 1992, the hookah culture ingrained in his circle of family and friends is in part a reaction to faith traditions. “Obviously, more Muslims really don’t go clubbing because they don’t drink, so hookah is more our social thing,” he said. While hookah lounges in Minneapolis have been snuffed out by a tough city ordinance,

Taha said, his Burnsville lounge is allowed because the city’s tobacco regulations on indoor smoking are no more stringent than the state’s. Minnesota law allows lighting of tobacco products inside a tobacco shop for the purpose of “sampling” tobacco products, according to a Department of Health fact sheet. More than 90 percent of the shop’s gross revenue must come from the sale of tobacco products or smokingrelated accessories. Taha Hookah cannot sell prepared food under the law, and beverage sales are limited to sealed bottles and cans, said Taha, who has a city tobacco license. Hookah is offered outdoors at the Mediterranean Cruise Cafe in Burnsville and at Ansari’s Mediterranean Grill and Lounge in Eagan, Taha said. Meanwhile, another hookah lounge has secured a city tobacco license in Burnsville — Ignite Hookah Lounge at 2552 Horizon Drive. It’s a competitor, Taha said, that he expects to open soon. A 2005 graduate of Bloomington Kennedy High School, Taha has a degree in management information systems from the University of WisconsinRiver Falls. Growing up, he watched his immigrant father drive cab and own a convenience store and always wanted to follow his footsteps into business ownership. Taha is now working full time as an IT contractor for Delta Air Lines while pursuing his dream in the hookah business. He’s the sole owner of Taha Hookah, which cousins Waleed Suliman and Weal Suliman of Bloomington help run. “It costs a lot of money to operate — the product, the employees, the electricity, the rent, the ventilation,” said Taha, who expanded into the former Natalya’s Gifts Boutique space. “It costs a lot of money to keep it going.” The business has two lounge areas with six flat-screen TVs. Older customers prefer daytime

Customers must be 18 to enter. The business, open daily from 2 p.m. to 1 a.m., checks IDs and hires security for busy Friday and Saturday nights, Taha said. “We would like for you to dress to impress,” he said of the lounge’s loose dress code. Hookah rental with tobacco is $15, or $20 for two people sharing, Taha said. The tobacco, known as shisha, is boiled in water, which kills most of the tar and nicotine, dried, and flavored with molasses and food extracts, he said. “Literally any fruit you can think of,” said Taha, whose locally supplied product comes from the Middle East. “There’s literally thousands of flavors.” The tobacco is placed in a bowl at the top of the hookah and heated with charcoal. The smoke is filtered through

water in the bottom of the pipe. The smoker uses a hose with a disposable, individually wrapped mouthpiece known as a “mousetip,” Taha said. “It’s very relaxing, honestly,” he said of the smoking experience. “A lot of people come in and they’re like, ‘Well, do I get a buzz, do I get a high, what’s going to happen if I smoke?’ ” His answer is that hookah sure beats cigarettes. “I can’t smoke cigarettes, but I can smoke hookah all day,” Taha said. “It’s softer, it’s filtered with the water, and it’s not harsh. It’s not that there is no

A Kingston native, a Soviet-born chef and a self-dubbed “Jewmaican” rapper from Minneapolis opened for business Aug. 10 in the Burnsville Center food court. The business, Pimento Jamaican Kitchen, is named for the key allspice used in the cooking and seasoning style known as Jamaican jerk. “Jamaicans have been jerking chicken since the time of the Maroons,” runaway slaves from whom he descended, said Kingston-born and raised partner Tomme Beevas, 34. Though some restaurants have jerk on the menu, Pimento Jamaican Kitchen is the only true Jamaican eatery in the Twin Cities, Beevas said. “Jamaican food is just as good” as common ethnic cuisines such as Mexican, Italian and Thai, Beevas said. “It’s very

healthy, flavorful. People love Jamaican culture and Jamaican food and everything Jamaican, but we don’t know where to find the food.” Pimento’s marketing acumen may change that. The business, with two years of street vending under its belt, couldn’t have made a bigger splash in its food court debut. Beevas and crew — general manager Yoni Reinharz and chef Serge Kogan — successfully applied for a spot on the Food Network show “Food Court Wars.” Taping in May at the Burnsville Center food court and the Minnesota Zoo pitted Pimento against Indian-themed hot dog vendor Slum Dogz. Pimento won the decisive day of competition held at the food court, outselling its rival among mall customers. The prize? A year’s free rent at Burnsville Center, which Beevas said is worth $100,000. The show has been airing since Aug. 4.

Backyard roots Beevas, who came to the United States for undergraduate studies in political science and economics, did government and nonprofit work in Washington, D.C., before being hired as director of community

involvement for Minnetonka-based Cargill. Living in Minneapolis’ Bryn Mawr neighborhood, Beevas’ backyard barbecuing drew the attention of neighbors, including rapper-musician Reinharz. “When you fire up the grill with some jerk chicken on it, you can smell it for at least two blocks,” Beevas said. “That’s the best marketing tool, by the way.” He and Reinharz eventually teamed up to take jerk on the road. Their debut was at a Bryn Mawr community garage sale. “That dude is way more Jamaican than I could ever hope to be,” Beevas said of Reinharz. “He knows his reggae, he knows his food, he knows his culture.” The Pimento partners have served at such venues as the Uptown Art Fair, the Twin Cities Pride Festival and the Renaissance Festival. After earning an MBA from the Carlson School of Management in 2011, Beevas wanted something more permanent for his business. Reinharz’s brother-in-law, Kogan, who was born in the republic of Georgia, came on board. Kogan trained at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris and has more than a decade of culinary experience, most recently as chef de cuisine at D’Amico Cucina.

Bounty of booya in Apple Valley

Pimento keeps its menu simple, with jerk chicken, pork and vegetables at the forefront. The meat features a spice mix as well as a choice of three sauces with varying levels of heat. “It’s not about the heat. It’s about the complexity of flavors,” Beevas said. “That’s the thing about Jamaican food.” The signature dish is jerk chicken with coconut rice and beans, served with a side of sweet plantains drizzled in nutmeg vanilla glaze, Beevas said. Slow-roast jerk pork is the No. 2 seller behind chicken. The “One Love” special gives you both meats. There’s more. “You should try our shrimp,” Beevas said. “And we have a whole grilled fish that we do from head to tail, with the head on, for the adventurous Minnesotans. We stuff that with some greens, some peppers and some seasoning, wrap it in aluminum foil, grill it on both sides, and it’s been steamed in its own juices.” Beevas said the partners are running a Kickstarter campaign with hopes of opening a second location in Minneapolis.

Firefighters’ annual booya fundraiser is Sept. 14 by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

To ensure the booya is ready in the morning, Apple Valley firefighters plan on pulling an all-nighter. This year, the firefighters will start cooking 400 gallons of the savory stew at about 2 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 14, in preparation for their 35th annual booya fundraiser which opens to the public at 10 a.m. Fans of the meat- and vegetable-filled stew are advised to get there early. Each year, the booya pots tend to run out by midafternoon. “The last bowl was served at about 3 p.m. in 2012,” said Al Olson, firefighter and chair of the booya event. “In 2011 it was sold out by 2:15 p.m. We only make the 400 gallons and when it is gone, it is gone for 12 months.” This year’s booya event will be held at Fire Station 1, located at County Road 42 and Hayes Road.

Lakeville district lands a military hero to lead business services by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A retired lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army and Lakeville resident has been hired as the Lakeville Area School District director of business services. Michael A. Baumann will begin work Sept. 9, replacing Randy Anderson who left the district last month to pursue a doctorate after eight months on the job. Baumann, 50, said he plans a long tenure in the position, coming to the district after almost nine years in St. Paul Public Schools where he served in several positions, ultimately second-in-command as the district’s deputy superintendent. Leaving the state’s second-largest urban school district for Lakeville’s smaller suburban one will be a change that Baumann said he will welcome. “I’ve been looking for an opportunity to work in

the Lakeville or Farmington area for a while,” he said. Baumann’s credentials and leadership background include significant achievements. He is a Distinguished Military Graduate of the University of Minnesota, earned bachelor of arts degree in political science at the University of Minnesota and a master of science degree in education administration at Texas A&M University. He is an Operation Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom veteran. In Baghdad, he commanded an Army battalion task force in the First Calvary Division from 2004-2005. While serving in Iraq, he befriended Fadi M. Fadhil “Freddie,” an Iraqi interpreter, and helped Fadhil gain political asylum in the United States in 2006. The two have given public presentations about their experiences, and

Baumann authored the book, “Adjust Fire: Transforming to Win in Iraq,” in 2008. The book tells the insider story of Army tactics employed in Iraq and the challenges Army leaders faced; it is highly rated and described on Amazon as “an incredibly compelling story.” Baumann said he wrote the book because he felt the media “had very badly represented the American effort in Iraq,” by distorting its reporting “for purposes that were more selfserving than factual.” He said many things reported were “tied to political issues and the election,” and he decided to write the book to offer a counter narrative. Baumann served 20 years in the Army, from 1985-2005, earning numerous awards and decorations including the Legion of Merit Medal, Bronze Star Medal, Meritorious Service Medal (four

awards) the Army Commendation Medal (three awards) and Air Assault Badge. His experiences were also varied in St. Paul Schools, where he served in numerous positions including chief business officer from 2010-2012 and chief financial officer from 2009-2010. Baumann said his broad range of experiences allow him to bring a strong work ethic and unique perspective to the job. “I can really help the district to look at opportunities and options available to them regarding school finance and business operations,” he said. Baumann and his wife Shelly have lived in Lakeville since 2005 and have one son, a senior at Farmington High School. Laura Adelmann is at laura. adelmann@ecm-inc.com.

County looks to create trail from Mendota Heights to Lebanon Hills Project is part of 200-mile greenway master plan by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Bikers, hikers and other outdoor enthusiasts may one day have a new path from Mendota Heights to Lebanon Hills Regional Park. The Dakota County Board approved a plan last month to construct an 8.5mile, north-south trail that would wind through Mendota Heights, Inver Grove

Heights and Eagan. The trail would begin at Village at Mendota Heights at Highway 110 and Dodd Road and end at Lebanon Hills Regional Park. Officials say the paved trail likely would take about 20 years to complete, but once finished, it would connect Lebanon Hills and the North Urban Regional Trail. “Trails are growing in popularity,” said John

Mertens, senior planner for Dakota County. “This will meet demand for these types of trail connections.” Officials hope to have the trail coincide with future development in Mendota Heights and Inver Grove Heights, Mertens said. The project, which is estimated to cost just under $19 million, is part of the county’s 200-mile greenway master plan.

County officials hope to pay for the trail’s construction though a costsharing plan between the county and several other entities, including National Park Services, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.

& Hormone therapy for menopause still controversial BY ROXI REJALI CONTRIBUTING WRITER Kalli Matsuhashi suspected that she might be approaching menopause. “I’d be eating fairly healthy, but I’d still gain weight. I wasn’t sleeping well, I was feeling some irritability and I just thought, this isn’t my normal pattern,” the Eagan resident said. She visited the Menopause Clinic of Minnesota in St. Paul, where bioidentical hormones are often prescribed to ease menopausal symptoms. The hormones are said to match the molecular structure of the ones that women make in their bodies. Matsuhashi’s symptoms have improved since she began treatment. “I think when there’s something that I believe is safe and it’s relatively easy to incorporate into your life and it’s going to ease that passageway, I think, ‘Why not?’” said Matsuhashi, 50. “To make the quality of life better, I think it’s a good thing.” Menopause is a natural part of a woman’s life cycle, marking the end of child-bearing years. The

ovaries stop making eggs and produce less of the hormones estrogen and progesterone. Changes in hormone levels can produce hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue, moodiness and weight gain. It’s also linked to increased risk of heart disease and osteoporosis or bone loss. Menopause officially begins when a woman stops having menstrual periods for 12 consecutive months. The average age of menopause is 51, but the transition period called perimenopause can begin in the 30s and 40s. Hormone replacement therapy or HRT is designed to replace hormones that are no longer produced by the body. The Food and Drug Administration has approved several hormone treatments to treat menopause symptoms. HRT became controversial after a federally funded study was launched to test the effects of hormone therapy on women’s longterm health. In 2002, the Women’s Health Initiative study was stopped early because data showed that the treatment increased

the risk of heart attack, stroke and breast cancer. Scary headlines convinced many women to discontinue HRT or avoid it altogether. Research has continued in the years since the WHI study, with seemingly conflicting and contradictory results. For example, a 2012 Danish study followed women who began HRT soon after menopause. After 10 years, they had a significantly reduced risk of heart failure or heart attack without increased risk of cancer or stroke. Current guidelines from the National Institutes of Health support the use of hormone therapy for hot flashes. Treatment should be limited to five years, the guidelines say. No wonder that women are confused. Women should work with their health-care providers to decide which treatment options are safest and most effective, said Amy Weckman, nurse practitioner at Park Nicollet Clinic in Burnsville. “The goal of HRT is to use the smallest dose of medication that will effectively manage the symptoms

for the shortest period of time,” she wrote in an email. Women can take other steps to reduce symptoms by exercising regularly, getting enough sleep and eating a healthy diet, she said. Avoiding caffeine, spicy foods, alcohol and smoking may also help. Some women try herbal supplements with ingredients like black cohosh, red clover and dong quoi, but supplements can have side effects and may interact with other medications, she said. Quality and research on herbal products varies, and they’re not regulated by the FDA. Women may soon have another option. In June, the FDA approved the antidepressant paroxetine as the first non-hormonal treatment for hot flashes. Approval was based on two clinical trials, but it’s not known how it reduces symptoms. Some women are turning to bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, believing that “natural“, plant-derived hormones are safer. The treatment can help women through a critical life transition,

said Sandy Greenquist, certified nurse midwife and founder of Menopause Center of Minnesota. Many of the bioidentical hormones prescribed by the clinic are made from yam or soy extract and some are custom-mixed by a compounding pharmacy, she said. Compounded bioidenticals are not regulated by the FDA. The treatment relieves symptoms like hot flashes and decreased libido, but can also protect against heart disease, osteoporosis and cognitive decline, Greenquist said. She recommends starting hormone therapy before the last menstrual period or within 10 years of the last period. Women still need an effective way to manage symptoms that can disrupt their lives, Greenquist said. “What doctors and everybody, society has expected is that women will just buck up and carry on,” she said. “It’s a ridiculous expectation.”

Many people live their lives suffering from low thyroid symptoms. This is especially true for females. Thyroid hormones control all your metabolism, and when thyroid hormones are low they cause all the cells in your body and mind to slow down. These symptoms include fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, sweet cravings, depression, sluggish thinking, thinning hair or hair loss, and cold hands and feet. Even when taking thyroid medication, many people continue to suffer from the symptoms of having low thyroid. There are six patterns of thyroid dysfunction and only one of them responds well to thyroid medication. That is why so many people have been disappointed in their results. Dr. Phil Gilman DC FMA FASBE, a published thyroid researcher, is holding a seminar to discuss low thyroid symptoms. His research shows that while blood tests are valuable in evaluating thyroid dysfunction, often the basic tests are inadequate in finding the underlying causes of low thyroid symptoms. It will be held on Wed, Sept. 11th, at 7pm.

Responsibility of setting lawmakers’ raises could shift Conflicting opinions in state Legislature on increasing pay for politicians by T.W. Budig SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lawmakers’ fingerprints might no longer be on their own paychecks. In bipartisan votes in the Democrat-led Legislature last session, lawmakers placed a constitutional amendment on the 2016 ballot that, if approved by voters, would have legislative salaries set by an independent council. Lawmakers no longer would vote on their own pay. Currently, a state compensation council makes recommendations to the Legislature concerning pay. The council recommended a pay increase for legislators this year, tying the raise to the governor’s salary. It recommended the governor’s pay, $120,000 per year, be given two 3 percent increases, with legislative salaries being set at 33 percent of the governor’s. But lawmakers have a history of ignoring the council. Salaries of legislators — about $31,000 a year — haven’t been raised since 1999. By comparison, members of Congress make $174,000 a year. Not that Minnesota lawmakers could ever just vote themselves a raise and plan on a big Saturday night. Under the state constitution, legislative pay increases affect the next Legislature, not the current.

Members of the Minnesota Legislature take the oath of office. Legislative pay differs widely among the United States’ 50 state legislatures. (Photo by T.W. Budig) Regardless, this is an incendiary topic. “Salaries are (a) hotbutton political issue because they are easy to demagogue,” University of Minnesota Humphrey Institute Political Science Professor Larry Jacobs said in an email. Senate Majority Leader Tom Bakk, DFL-Cook, suggested concern over political fallout keeps salaries fixed. “It’s very difficult around here to get them (lawmakers) to do that (vote to increase salaries), purely because of election politics,” Bakk said. The Senate, not up for re-election until 2016, voted for a pay increase last session.

But the House balked. House Speaker Paul Thissen, DFL-Minneapolis, called the constitutional amendment approach “a more appropriate way to go.” Compensation Council Chairman Tom Fraser believes it’s less the amount of the raise than the idea of lawmakers voting on one that irks the public. “It’s a built-in conflict. But it’s been built in for a long time,” Fraser said. Former Sen. John Doll, DFL-Burnsville, was willing to sacrifice to serve in the Legislature. “It was definitely not easy,” Doll said of the financial side. His business, tile and stone contracting, isn’t

one that you can be absent from, he said. And serving in public office is demanding. “I would say it’s definitely more than a parttime job,” Doll said. Fraser, whose father served in the Legislature, also views legislative service as demanding. The workload has “increased dramatically” over the years, Fraser said. Not that the Compensation Council is getting an earful. “Nobody (lawmakers) came in and complained about the pay,” Fraser said. One concern heard in discussing legislative pay is the perceived drying ef-

ing,” House Tax Committee Chairwoman Ann Lenczewski, DFLBloomington, said of the idea of the wealthy taking over the Legislature. In general, the Legislature is made up of highcaliber people — many, highly educated, Lenczewski said. Thissen, for instance, holds a degree from Harvard University and a law degree from the University of Chicago, she said. Former House Tax Committee Chairman Ron Abrams, R-Minnetonka, her former mentor, now a judge, is brilliant, Lenczewski said. Lenczewski voted against the proposed constitutional amendment. Legislative pay doesn’t need to be increased, she said. “I think we’ve had a pretty rough decade,” Lenczewski said of the state’s economy. But Fraser views giving the state’s 201 legislators a salary increase as a small expenditure, given the size of the state budget. In addition to salary, legislators get a per diem for living expenses during session and a possible diem for work off-session. Lawmakers living more than 50 miles from the state Capitol receive a lodging allowance. In the House, the allowance is up to $1,300 per month; the Senate allowance is slightly less. The House per diem is up to $66 per day. The Senate per diem is up to $86 per day.

fect it has on the pool of potential candidates. “I worry that we could end up with a situation when the hardworking up-and-comers can’t afford to serve, the wealthy treat it as a hobby and the schemers get in,” Jacobs said. Sen. Warren Limmer, R-Maple Grove, is also concerned. “We’re having a hard time finding qualified people who want the job and will run for public office,” Limmer, a longserving legislator, said. “And so our quality of legislator is beginning to wane.” Not all lawmakers Tim Budig can be reached at tim.budig@ecm-inc. agree with this. “I think that’s insult- com.

& Diet changes can ease menopause symptoms BY ROXI REJALI CONTRIBUTING WRITER

A few lucky women barely notice their transition through menopause. Others suffer through symptoms of night sweats, fatigue and weight gain. Hormone replacement therapy is one option to relieve symptoms, but some women prefer treatments that promise safer and more natural remedies. It’s common for female patients in their 40s and 50s to grapple with hot flashes, trouble sleeping and slower metabolism, said Dr. Kim Tran, chiropractor at Synapse: Center for Health and Healing in Eagan. Often, patients are already getting chiropractic treatment for other problems like back or neck pain, migraine, digestive issues or fibromyalgia, she said. After testing, Tran may prescribe supplements

to regulate estrogen, progesterone or the adrenal glands, which release cortisol hormones in response to stress. Tran often recommends a healthier diet low in sugar, carbohydrates and processed foods, which can lower inflammation and stress on the body. Cutting back on caffeine and alcohol can also help. “We want to influence patients to change their diet first,” she said. “You can take those (supplements), but if you change your diet, that sometimes will actually have a bigger effect than just giving out the supplement,” she said. Diet is also important in treatments offered by Meg Kloek, nutritional therapist and owner of The Green Umbrella. She recommends whole foods and food-based supplements for optimal health. Hot flashes, lack of libido, low energy and

sleep problems point to dysfunction in the body, said Kloek, who consults with clients in their homes and Hands On Health Family Chiropractic in Apple Valley. “Part of my role as a nutritional therapist is uncovering that dysfunction. Where’s the dysfunction coming from, what is the root cause, where did it start? I’m almost like a nutritional detective,” she said. Nutritional testing can pinpoint hormone imbalances, Kloek said. Whole-food supplements are made from natural ingredients like fruits, vegetables or glandular tissue from animals; they signal the body to repair and regenerate damaged tissue, she said. “The body is really able to utilize these nutrients that I’m giving my clients, to basically heal itself and balance itself out,” she said.

SERVICE, from 1A when would be the right time to add another service, as the church was filling up,” Goodwin said. That time will be this weekend when the first Saturday service will be held at 6 p.m. Sept. 7. “Because the services often go two hours, it would be difficult to start another service and still keep the current Sunday service at 10 a.m.,” Goodwin said. “Saturday seemed like the right answer.” Goodwin said the Saturday service will be similar in design to Sunday with more flexibility with length of time for music, sharing of testimonies and teaching from God’s Word. He said the service will be a good option for people who work on Sundays or want a day of rest with their families on Sundays. Lighthouse’s children’s ministry, called Potter’s House, also has been extended to Saturday evenings. Lighthouse has grown

during the past two years as it has continued to be a visible contributor in the Rosemount area. The church was one of the driving forces behind the One Rosemount, Feeding Families effort earlier this year that attracted more than 2,000 volunteers to package 285,000 meals to send to Haitian refugees living in the Dominican Republic. Lighthouse annually organizes a free afternoon of fun after the Rosemount Leprechaun Days Grand Parade with food, games and activities, along with its work to put on the popular Bathtub Races the past couple of years. This year the church raised $8,000 from the Bathtub Races to put toward a fund to help ship the One Rosemount, Feeding Families food. Still more money needs to be raised for this effort. Find out more about it at www. onerosemountfeedingfamilies.com. Goodwin said the congregation has grown, in

part, because it is clear about what it is and what it wants to be as a congregation. He said the church is welcoming of other cultures, offering Spanish translation of its services through headsets. “Lighthouse believes that life is an adventure,” he said. “The adventure that they are on is one of reaching out to people with a message of hope and healing.” That adventure will be taking it to the road, as Lighthouse recently received the donation of a 47-passenger coach bus from Celebration Church in Lakeville. Goodwin said new worshippers are welcome at the church during its services, which are at 10 a.m. Sundays and 6 p.m. Saturdays. The church also offers an array of programs, like AWANA Clubs for children up to fifth-graders at 6 p.m. Wednesdays. More is at its website at WorldwideLighthouse.com.

Taxes on residential properties in the middle range are expected to decrease by more than $100, while others in the lower bracket will go up a small amount and the upper range could see an increase of $45 to $95 for the year. “It’s going to be what I call a transition year,” City Administrator Dave McKnight said. “If you look at the range of how our proposed tax levy increase impacts these properties, it’s pretty broad.” Levy limits were put in place for cities and counties for 2014 by the 2013 Legislature, but Local Government Aid returned for the first time in 10 years. Farmington will receive $245,329 in LGA funds, and the city decided to use them for onetime purchases. About $181,000 is going toward fire department purchases such as a fire chief vehicle, a fire brush truck skid unit, and floor repairs in

Station No. 1. The remaining funds will go toward building fund expenses, police cars, investigation equipment and exercise equipment. The city will also no longer have to pay state sales tax, saving a conservative amount of $30,000. The levy already cut ice arena and operational increases. The city ended up bonding for its capital improvement plans, including the Akin Road project. The main reason for the levy increase is the new debt to fund the capital improvement plan. McKnight also said that increased building permit activity, an improved housing market and a repayment of back taxes has improved Farmington’s outlook for the future. The actual budget will not be approved until the end of December. The public input meeting date for the final 2014 budget and tax levy is at 7 p.m. Dec. 2 at Farmington City Hall.

computers. Just about every inch will be touched. Everything is going to be rearranged over new carpet and under a remodeled ceiling. The library is setting up a temporary location across the street in the second story of Farmington City Hall. Many of the same services the library offers will still be in effect during the remodeling. The most popular books, DVDs and CDs will be available to check out. “Whatever we don’t have set out, just ask,” Svoboda said. “We might be able to go back and find it. If people are looking for books we may have in storage, they can go online and request them. They’ll be put on the hold shelf. It’s something people do now. They’re used to it.” The temporary site will

still have Wi-Fi Internet access and six computers available. There’s a elevator available as well as an after-hours book drop. During the fall there are fewer large programs because students are in school. There will still be Friday storytime and a monthly teen advisory group. In May, the library holds an annual Silver Tea for seniors. This year it will be at the Rambling River Center because the library won’t have access to a large on-site gathering space. “We won’t be able to do the same amount we normally do, so some programs will be scaled back,” Svoboda said. But once the dust settles, the experience at the Farmington Library should be upgraded.

always in need of repair.” The three buildings were relocated to Dakota City 30 years ago as part of a 5-acre, 17-building city in the Dakota County Fairgrounds used for education programs for more than 5,000 students throughout the year to learn about life in the 1900s. Beaver Creek Companies Inc., of Farmington, and Dakota County Agricultural Society staff are performing the restoration work. The project required

certified workers to treat lead paint. The Dakota County Agricultural Society Inc. and Dakota City Heritage Village worked together to receive the grant from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund, which was created through the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment, and in a partnership with the Minnesota Department of Agriculture.

Tiger, Irish athletes hit the ground running Eden Prairie sweeps at Rosemount meet by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Eagan’s girls and Apple Valley’s boys showed strong early-season form at the Dakota Classic cross country meet Friday at Eagan High School. Also on Friday, highly ranked teams from Eden Prairie swept the varsity team championships at the Irish Invitational at Rosemount High School.

Dakota Classic Anna Van Wyk, Kelli Praska and Raissa Hansen swept the top three places as Eagan won the girls team championship. The Wildcats, state Class AA runners-up last year and ranked No. 2 this year, finished 22 points ahead of fifth-ranked Lakeville South. Van Wyk was medalist in the 3,200-meter race in 11 minutes, 44.3 seconds. Praska (11.53.4) and Hansen (11:54) took the next two places. Olivia Mitchell (11th place) and Kirsten Barrett (19th) also counted toward Eagan’s team total. Lakeville South was led by junior Kaytlyn Larson, who finished sixth in (12:10.6). Annie Brekken (10th), Erin Kilbride (12th), Jenny Machaj (14th) and Bailey Brewster (16th) were the rest of the Cougars’ top five. Farmington placed

fourth in the eight-team field with 103 points. Seventh-grader Lauren Peterson had a top-10 finish for the Tigers, placing ninth in 12:18.8. Apple Valley sophomore Olivia Anger finished fourth individually in 11:59.8. The Eagles were sixth in the team standings with 130 points. On the boys side, three Apple Valley runners placed in the top 10 as the Eagles won by 19 points over Lakeville South and Farmington. The Dakota Classic field included the state’s top-ranked Class AA runner, Richfield’s Obsa Ali, who was first in 10:04.1. Zack Benning of Hastings, ranked fourth in the state, finished in 10:06.9. Apple Valley was the only team in the boys competition to place five runners among the top 20 individuals. Junior Grant Udelhofen led the Eagles, placing sixth in 10:36.9. Seniors Liam Tyler (10:40.3) and Luke Tansey (10:49.9) were seventh and ninth. Steven Stotts and Nathan Williams placed 18th and 19th. “We displayed good team depth as our sixth runner beat Lakeville South’s fourth runner and (finished) just behind Farmington’s fourth- and fifth-place runners,” Apple Valley boys coach Rollie Greeno said. Greeno said the Eagles likely would be tested even more Sept. 6 at the Faribault Invitational, which is

expected to have a deeper field. Apple Valley scored 59 points. Lakeville South and Farmington both had 77, with South winning the tiebreaker for second place because its sixth runner placed 33rd, as opposed to 47th for his Farmington counterpart. Senior Wali Ibrahim finished fourth in 10:25.7 to lead Lakeville South. Noah Hanson (fifth, 10:32.3) and Mitchell Miller (10th, 10:51.5) also placed in the top 10 for the Cougars. Farmington senior Justin Hyytinen was third in 10:25.3 to lead the Tigers. Sophomores Alex Hart and Devon Webb were 12th and 13th. Dan Podpeskar and Tommy Jaakola were 15th and 17th for Eagan, which finished fifth of nine teams with 113 points. Jaakola cut 31 seconds off his time from last year’s Dakota Classic, Eagan boys coach Rob Graham said.

Irish Invitational

Eastview girls remember painful end to 2012 soccer season by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Club soccer is becoming an increasingly tempting option for Minnesota high school players, who have been told they cannot play on both club and high school teams during the fall. Eastview’s girls, however, returned everybody from their 2012 state tournament roster who could come back, save for one player who was injured while playing summer soccer and is now a team manager. For the Lightning, unfinished business was a strong lure. Eastview was

stung in the state quarterfinals last fall in a 1-0 loss to White Bear Lake. The Lightning believed it controlled play throughout, but White Bear Lake scored the game’s only goal with about three minutes to play. Eastview derived more than a little satisfaction from its 6-1 rout of White Bear Lake in a non-conference game Aug. 24. The Lightning is 4-1 overall after shutting out Lakeville South 3-0 on Tuesday. The Lightning is ranked third in Class AA; its only loss was 2-1 at No. 1-ranked Minnetonka last week. Eastview owns a 1-0 victory over defending state champion Wayzata. Many of Eastview’s players are on high-level club teams in the spring and summer. Several of them played for a Dakota

also was a top-10 finisher for the Irish. Ryan Brumm (26th), Sam Ivanecky (30th) and Ryan Condon (35th) completed Rosemount’s top five. The Irish scored 106 points, 56 behind Eden Prairie but only seven behind second-place Edina. Lakeville North placed sixth in the 20-team boys race, with sophomore Luke Anderson finishing 29th individually. Eden Prairie also was a convincing winner in the girls race, while Rosemount and Lakeville North placed sixth and seventh. Eighth-grader Sydney Hansen led the Irish girls, placing 13th in 12:07.5. Danielle Bellino of Lakeville North, also an eighth-grader, was 20th in 12:21.6.

St. Olaf Showcase Burnsville and Eastview sent teams to the St. Olaf Showcase boys meet Friday at St. Olaf College. Dillon Wong and Mitch Brown were 30th and 31st individually for Burnsville, which was 14th in the team standings. The Blaze’s top two returnees from last season, Ali Ahmed and Faysal Mahmoud, did not compete in the meet. Eastview’s Joey Beran placed 23rd in the 5,000-meter race in 17:44. The Lightning was 19th in the team competition.

The Irish Invitational had a loaded field for an early season meet. Sixthranked Rosemount, the host school, finished fourth in Friday’s meet behind Eden Prairie, Edina and Mounds View. Those three teams now occupy the third, fourth and fifth spots in the Class AA poll. Rosemount junior Alex Berhe finished fourth overall in the 2-mile race Email Mike Shaughnessy at in 10:10.5. Senior Cody mike.shaughnessy@ecmSedbrook (11th, 10:29.9) inc.com.

Lightning has plenty of motivation Rev team that won its division at a major youth tourney in Sweden in July. But when the calendar turns to August, the focus switches to high school competition. “I think our girls separate the two seasons, club and high school,” Eastview coach David Herem said. “Many of them were on the field that night against White Bear Lake in the state tournament, and they remember how they felt when we lost.” Eastview returns a powerful offense and has scored 16 goals in its first five games. In recent games, the team has improved its defense, shutting out Wayzata and Lakeville South in backto-back games. “Clean sheets against two teams like that? That’s awesome,” Herem said.

Farmington broke open a close game by scoring 20 points in the third quarter of its 30-20 victory over River Falls, Wis., in the Tigers’ football season opener Friday night at the University of WisconsinRiver Falls stadium. River Falls had all kinds of trouble containing Farmington’s Jordan DeCroock. The senior wide receiver caught touchdown passes of 79 and 11 yards from quarterback Tyler VanWinkle and returned the secondhalf kickoff 85 yards for another score. The Tigers led 10-6 at halftime before DeCroock’s kickoff return. A 16-yard pass from VanWinkle to Johnny Dittman made it 23-6. The score might have been more one-sided if not for two River Falls interception returns for touchdowns. Farmington kept River Falls’ offense out of the end zone until the final seconds of the fourth quarter. Farmington’s Reid Taubenheim added a 41yard field goal in the second quarter. Derek Klotter led the Tigers in rushing with 82 yards on 17 carries. On defense, linebackers Mason Auge and Nick Ruark were credited with five tackles each. Lineman Godfrey Mpetey and defensive back Mason Gaylord had 4.5 tackles each. Farmington begins its bid for the Missota Conference championship when it takes on Northfield at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 6, in the Tigers’ home opener.

victory over Rosemount at the 2010 Prep Bowl – escaped with a 24-21 double-overtime victory Aug. 29 at Irish Stadium. Each team scored a touchdown and kicked an extra point in the first overtime. Wayzata had the first possession of the second overtime and settled for a 22-yard field goal. It was the Trojans’ first lead of the night. The game ended when the Irish missed a field goal attempt on its possession in the second overtime. For the game, Rosemount missed two field goal attempts and an extra point. The Irish took the lead on Grant Jackson’s 15yard touchdown run in the first quarter. Nate Sackett added a two-point conversion run. Wayzata scored its first touchdown in the final minute of the second quarter, cutting Rosemount’s lead to one point at 8-7. Rosemount extended its lead on Jackson Erdmann’s 1-yard touchdown run with 9 minutes, 56 seconds remaining, but the extra point attempt was no good, leaving the score at 14-7. Wayzata scored to tie the game with 7:49 remaining. Jackson scored on a 3-yard run on Rosemount’s first overtime possession. Jackson finished with 57 yards on eight carries and two touchdowns. Rosemount junior Dimitri Williams gained 72 yards on 20 carries. Erdmann completed six of 18 passes for 78 yards but was intercepted four times. The Irish move into South Suburban Conference play Friday, Sept. 6, when they go to Eastview in a dual of teams that reached the final eight in the 2012 Class 6A playoffs. Eastview lost to Wayzata in the quarterfinals, while Rosemount reached the semifinals before falling to Lakeville North. Eastview defeated Burnsville 21-17 in its opener Aug. 29 as junior running back Will Rains rushed for 225 yards and three touchdowns. Rains rushed for more than 1,600 yards last season.

In fishing parlance, the Irish were able to set the hook, but Wayzata broke the line and got away before Rosemount could pull one of the biggest victories in program history into its boat.

This painting by G.A. Uitdenbogerd – depicting a horse show at the Minnesota State Fair – was discovered by Rosemount Area Historical Society members a few years ago at the home of Glen Uitdenbogerd, a descendant of G.A. Uitdenbogerd. (Photo submitted)

Farm family with a knack for the arts Rosemount exhibit showcases artwork by G.A. Uitdenbogerd family

by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

An exhibit at Rosemount’s Steeple Center this month highlights the artwork of a prominent local farming family. Dutch farmer G.A. Uitdenbogerd immigrated to what was then Rosemount Township in 1910. When they weren’t tending to their crops, he and his sons were producing paintings, wood carvings and other works of art. The exhibit, “G.A. Uitdenbogerd and Family,” runs Sept. 10-14 and includes art by the family’s patriarch and his sons, as well as family photos and other historical items. “They were a very successful farming family – Mr. and Mrs. Uitdenbogerd were written up in different farming magazines from that era,” said John Loch, a member of both the Rosemount Area Arts Council and the Rosemount Area Historical Society, which are sponsoring the exhibit. “The family’s been in Rosemount over a hundred years, and they’ve been well known in the community all that time. … They were members of Rosemount’s Methodist church, and a couple of (G.A. Uitdenbogerd’s) paintings hung in the front of the church for years.” The genesis of the exhibit occurred a few years

ago when Loch and local historian Maureen Geraghty Bouchard were hunting for old family photos at the home of Glen Uitdenbogerd, a descendant of G.A. Uitdenbogerd still living in Rosemount. “When we were at Glen’s house, I noticed a rather large painting in the basement that really struck me as pretty cool,” Loch said. That painting by G.A. Uitdenbogerd – depicting a horse show at the Minnesota State Fair – was the first of many pieces the historical society and arts council began gathering.

Among the pieces on display at the Steeple Center exhibit is a three-footlong wooden fish carved by Fred Uitdenbogerd, one of G.A.’s sons, that may have guests doing a double take. “It looks so realistic people stop and ask where it was caught,” Loch said. Admission to the exhibit is free; hours are 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Sept. 10-12, 9 a.m.-7 p.m. Sept. 13, and 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Sept. 14. More An old family photo shows G.A. Uitdenbogerd at work in about “G.A.
