Precinct caucuses generate the most interest during presidential election years, but the chance for neighbors to talk about politics bring out many people even on a cold winter night. The Republican and DFL parties will host caucuses at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 4, with straw polls, discussions about party platform resolutions and delegate elections all on the docket. Registration starts at 6:30 p.m. The partisan events serve as the unofficial start to the 2014 campaign season, though many candidates have been hard at work on their campaigns for months. Among the high profile races, several Republican candidates are vying for the party’s endorsement in the gubernatorial race for a chance to face Gov. Mark Dayton. Among

face U.S. Sen. Al Franken in the general election. Three Democrats have said they will seek the party’s endorsement in the 2nd Congressional District race.

Those candidates include Mike Obermueller, who lost to U.S. Rep. John Kline, R-Burnsville, in the 2012 election. The two other candidates are Thomas Craft and Paula

JC Twisted Photography captures life’s important moments

Wedding photographers Jenny and Casey Hamborg have a unique opportunity to capture that special day for the couples they work with, but they might just be able to dispense a little bit of wedding wisdom along the way. After all, the couple and business owners have been married for almost seven years and they have been together for 17 years, since they were junior high sweethearts at a Minnesota summer camp. The husband and wife team own and operate JC Twisted Photography, based in Farmington. The business started when Jenny was studying graphic design and took several photography classes. The photography bug bit and then traveled on to Casey, an audio engineer. After dabbling with photography for several years, the couple decided to shoot their first wedding in 2011. From that first year of five or six weddings, JC Twisted Photography’s wedding business has steadily grown to as many as 25 weddings last summer. “At the rate we’re going, we’re kind of planning to fill up

by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Winter fun is in store next weekend at Apple Valley’s Mid-Winter Fest. Now in its 37th year, the annual celebration hosted by the city’s Parks and Recreation Department features family-oriented activities Saturday, Feb. 1, centered at the Apple Valley Community Center in Hayes Park.

Guests can also try their hands at snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in Hayes Park, with equipment on loan from Valley Bike & Ski throughout the day. The medallion hunt, a perennial festival favorite, returns this year for teams of sleuths to search out a medallion in one of the city’s 50 parks. Clues will be posted at the Apple Valley Community Center every hour beginning at 9 a.m. Feb. 1. Those who register for the medallion hunt at the community center’s front desk the day of the festival will receive clues by email 15 minutes prior to each hourly posting. The other

Businesses, legislators feel heat from new taxes Gov. Dayton, DFLers promise repeal if there’s a ‘sufficient’ surplus by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A sales tax that will apply to Minnesota warehousing services won’t go into effect until April 1, yet many in the industry say they are already feeling squeezed by it. For three decades, Strategic Warehousing has provided storage services in Eagan for Coca-Cola can supplier Rexam and other major manufacturers, but in August, the company began shifting its operations to Ames, Iowa, due to the tax. “It’s not a market we would have otherwise moved to,� Strategic Warehousing general manager Kathy Forester said. The Iowa facility has six employees – a number that is set to grow if the 6.5 percent sales tax isn’t repealed, Forester said. “We would have to move all of our operations,� she said. “I don’t think the legislators who passed this understand the industry.� The warehousing industry is a mobile one, she said. Companies can easily move their products to warehouses in Wisconsin, Iowa or Illinois — which don’t have a sales tax on warehousing services — and many already have, Forester said. “Customers will continue to bypass Minnesota so the state won’t be collecting the tax anyway,� she said. Those who continue to use Strategic’s Eagan warehouse have said they are unwilling to pay the tax, leaving Strategic footing a bill it can’t afford, said Forester, who has testified about the issue to the small business caucus. Even in good years, the company maintains mod-

Opinion Addressing hunger through strategic collaboration by Brian Geraty and Jeff Mortensen SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Earlier this year, the Brookings Institute released data showing that between 2000 and 2011, the ranks of the poor in the Twin Cities suburbs grew by more than 115,000 – a 128 percent increase in that time. This report highlights the hard reality food shelves are facing: an escalated need for healthy food and financial assistance that is overwhelming the community safety-net. Food banks have responded by budgeting to dispense more food and dollars, while funders influence this system by promoting increased food distribution with easier access. Hunger could theoretically be eliminated by distributing more and more food, but only temporarily. Unless there is a paradigm shift in how food banks and funders approach food insecurity and food injustice, we will be hard-pressed to reverse the trend of families relying on food shelves as part of their family’s financial budget. The opportunity exists to work together differently, leveraging the expansive set of local access points and community competencies to promote long-term self-sufficiency. This includes access to a greater volume of nutritionally rich food products and targeted services among many community partners. We believe authentic collaborative efforts between resource providers, including the recipients of food, will correct the cycle that is creating food shelf dependency. We must continue to meet the immediate need for food and move people toward longer-term self-sufficiency to reverse the current trend. With that in mind, 360 Communities

Guest Columnists

Brian Geraty Jeff Mortensen and Vineyard Community Services have signed a memorandum of collaboration that seeks to change the way we address hunger and access to healthy food in the south metro by leveraging each organization’s core competencies and relationships with families. This collaboration will focus on making healthy foods more accessible to the food insecure, while effectively providing pathways that build stability and promoting self-sufficiency. Food inequality remains a daunting factor costing government, health care and individuals billions of dollars each year as well as lives. According to the Center for American Progress, hunger costs the United States at least $167.5 billion every year in health care, government, education and more. While the context of and circumstances surrounding food injustice and insecurity vary, a common denominator exists: inadequate access to sufficient quantities of healthy food. In addition to addressing under-nutrition, we seek to bridge the gap between food security and health sustainability. In 2012, 360 Communities served 14,000 individuals with its network of five food shelves, two resource centers, two domestic violence shelters and three school success programs. With nine programs in 40 locations acting as access points for families in need, 360 Communities provides resources and referrals

that stabilize families. Staff work directly in homes and schools addressing a whole host of needs to build parenting skills and develop learning plans for students. Domestic violence advocates work from shelters and throughout Dakota County to provide counseling and life skills coaching that help women and children start new lives. Staff leverage community funding and locations where families are naturally congregating to stabilize housing and address other financial concerns. A critical underpinning of all of this work is access to healthy food. When that basic need is met, a family can concentrate on increasing stability and working on the skills it takes to reach self-sufficiency. Vineyard Community Services served 23,000 individuals with healthy food during that same period. The organization utilizes technological and process efficiencies to make nutritious food available to more people. We believe that by working together our two organizations can deliver greater resources to the community that are more accessible to meet immediate needs, build stability and promote longer-term self-sufficiency. And just as importantly, we believe these synergies can be achieved in a way that is more cost effective longer-term through collaboration. We plan on doing the following: • Distribute healthy, nutritious food more efficiently. Integrate Vineyard Community Services’ food shelf operations to provide greater access to emergency hunger relief services for the Dakota County food insecure population. • Build stability and promote selfsufficiency more effectively. Integrate and streamline 360 Communities intake/ assessment operations to provide greater

access to self-sufficiency services for families seeking assistance. Dakota County Director of Community Services Kelly Harder is encouraged by organizations that look beyond competition and work together to achieve common goals. “There’s more than enough work for all of us and there’s never going to be enough resources to resolve some of these issues,” says Harder, “so I really commend the partnership that is currently going on between 360 Communities and Vineyard Community Services. … If we just provide food and don’t work for greater self-sufficiency, then we just perpetuated the cycle of in the door out the door.” With this collaboration, we seek to change the dialogue and action surrounding the issues of poverty, hunger and nutrition. We believe there are other organizations with core strengths and expertise we do not possess that would enhance our ability to reach and empower more people. We invite others to join us. If we work together in a new way, we can change lives in Minnesota, break the cycle of poverty and reach more people with healthy food. Brian Geraty is executive director of Vineyard Community Services, a nonprofit that serves families and individuals in times of need. The organization utilizes technological and process efficiencies to make nutritious food available to more people.

Many different congregations pray for Christian unity by the Rev. Paul Jarvis SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Back in 1908, Father Paul Wattson – a Greymoor Friar in New York – started an ecumenical prayer movement that would eventually catch on, and not just with the hierarchy of the Catholic Christian Church. The week of prayer for Christian unity, Jan. 18-25, would eventually catch on with many other traditions within Christianity: especially during the 60s, when most mainline denominations were recognizing other denominations’ baptisms. Believe it or not, these mainline churches actually considered each other to be – hold onto your seat – “Christians.” One doctrinal difference had often been all it took for denominations to fracture into smaller and smaller slivers of Christianity. Whereas it used to be the tendency of nearly all Christians to pray that all may be one … within one’s particular denomination. And whereas pastors tended to be

Guest Columnist

The Rev. Paul Jarvis more concerned about growing their congregations to pay the bills, and less about ecumenical collaboration and mutual respect. Within the past 50 years, the vast majority of Christian denominations have been praying for the unity of all Christians, according to God’s will and according to the means that God wills. Once dormant, the ecumenical spirit is again blossoming here in Dakota County. Over the past few years, congregations’ pastors and still more congregations’ members have gathered at our local Thanksgiving Eve Service, with donations of food and money for our local food shelf. Two years ago, Rosemount

United Methodist hosted the service, and St. Joseph’s Church played host this past year. For three years in a row, St. Joseph’s Church has hosted an ecumenical Blessing of the Animals on the first Saturday of October. Lutheran ministers and Catholic deacons and priests blessed quite a few “Cath-eran” pets and farm animals, as well as their owners. Joining other civic organizations and businesses, Rosemount denominations of all stripes came together in One Rosemount Feeding Families, absolutely and positively impacting a great many lives locally and globally. And Leprechaun Days wouldn’t be the celebration of community that it is if were not for all the local congregations getting involved. This past weekend, a unity prayer penned by the Rev. Karen Bruins, lead pastor of Rosemount United Methodist, was read by pastors at her church and at St. Joseph and hopefully at other congregations as well. The unity prayer seeks to expand on the united efforts of the body

of Christ already flourishing in our community. Who knows! Perhaps in several years’ time we’ll not only have a bigger Thanksgiving Eve Service, we’ll have a powerful combined multi-congregation choir singing at several community functions. We’ll have even more combined prayer services and events. We’ll unite in Bible study and devotions and ministries. We’ll bless a horde of Baptcathpresbymethepiscotheran animals. And we’ll not only call each other brothers and sisters in Christ … we’ll actually mean it. Please join faith-filled folks in Rosemount, Lakeville, Eagan, Farmington, Apple Valley, Burnsville, Inver Grove Heights, Coates and other towns in praying daily this prayer for unity … as God wills and guides. The Rev. Paul Jarvis is the lead pastor at Church of St. Joseph in Rosemount. A copy of the Prayer for Unity is at www. SunThisweek.com/tag/unity-prayer. Columns reflect the opinion of the author.

Letters Reasons to support Obermueller To the editor: A late October poll showed Mike Obermueller leading the race to represent the 2nd Congressional District in Congress. This poll by Public Policy Polling has Obermueller running ahead of the incumbent, for several apparent reasons. Unlike the incumbent, Obermueller reaches out frequently to people in the 2nd District about what is important to them. He is also different in his support for the education of all our young people, regardless of their family’s wealth.

He opposes allowing student loan rates to double, and doesn’t favor cutting college aid. Obermueller’s leadership in funding early education can save our country billions in remedial services in the future. It’s interesting that Obermueller works together with folks across the aisle. He says people should not be kept from cooperating just because they come from different parties. He thinks this is what people are elected to do, rather than excluding other points of view. Unlike some incumbents, Obermueller also seems to believe that saving tax money doesn’t need to favor folks in upper tax brackets over the rest of

us. A lot of people in the 2nd District have begun to see the value of supporting key projects like education and jobs. Obermueller has reliably supported those key projects for family stability. He advocates cutting government waste in subsidies for those who are already rich, and keeping more of our hard-earned dollars at home. Obermueller is recognized as a dependable, forward-thinking citizen. He’s the kind of person we need to represent us in Congress. CATHY JOHNSON Farmington

Wills to carry bill repealing business tax

make the repeal of these taxes a reality. I’ve also signed on to a bill by Rep. Pat Garofalo, R-Farmington, that would eliminate the tax families have to pay for receiving employer-provided adoption assistance, and a bill to repeal only the warehousing tax that begins in April. Taxes are sure to be a hot topic, and it remains to be seen which provisions, if any, will be repealed. What do residents hope the Legislature focuses on next session? Are there other tax provisions or laws that were passed that people would like to see revisited? My door is always open, and I hope residents will contact me either by phone or email to pass along thoughts and suggestions. For those who would like to set up a meeting, I’m happy to meet for coffee with constituents in Rosemount or Apple Valley, or in St. Paul at my office. Thank you for the continued privilege of serving our community in the Legislature, and I look forward to working hard for Rosemount, Apple Valley, and Coates in 2014.

To the editor: With the 2014 legislative session nearing, activity is starting to pick up in St. Paul with the pre-filing of bills that will receive their first reading Feb. 25 when the Legislature reconvenes. Among those bills are one that I’ve chief authored and two I’ve coauthored. Since the last session ended, I’ve spoken with countless constituents and businesses about the need to repeal the damaging business-to-business taxes passed in 2013. These taxes are an added cost to businesses, which puts jobs at risk and adds costs to consumers purchasing goods and services from businesses impacted by these new taxes. There is a great deal of bipartisan support for repealing these taxes. I’ve introduced a bill that would repeal all of the business-to-business taxes using money from the projected billion dollar surplus. With the tax increases implemented last session, government is taking too much money. It’s time to undo these mistakes and Rep. ANNA WILLS ease the burdens placed on R-Apple Valley, District Minnesota businesses and 57B families. I plan to work with any legislator, Republican or Democrat, to help

Parks staff deserves thanks To the editor: Much was on display at the Dakota County’s Lebanon Hills Regional Park open house last week (the second in as many months), but nothing more so than the patience, courtesy and professionalism of the park system’s staff. I was struck by the care they took care to respectfully answer every citizens’ questions, staying long after the scheduled closing time in what was surely already an extended work day. It was clearly evident to me how much each of these civil servants cared deeply about the park system they are interested with. While there is still disagreement over how best to utilize this great natural resource, the citizens of Dakota County should be proud of the everyday people we have working hard on our behalf. Park Commissioner Steve Sullivan, conservation manager Al Singer, Kurt Chatfield, Beth Landahl, and all the other kind staff present that evening deserve a genuine “thank you” for presenting their hopes for the future and for listening to the opinions of the people. Having met them all, I am See LETTERS, 5A

DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE January 23, 2014

LETTERS, from 4A ever more hopeful that in the end a great plan will be formed ‌ one based upon consensus and representative of our shared concerns, hopes and love for Lebanon Hills. DAVID SCOTT Eagan

Build paved trails around Lebanon Hills To the editor: I’m concerned about what may happen to the gem of Dakota County – the beautiful Lebanon Hills Regional Park. We have lived and worked here since 1985, raising a family and enjoying park trails and programs such as camping, swimming, canoeing and even kicksledding. At the same time, there was a respect to leave some areas quiet for habitat and wildlife. The only way to get to those areas was by unpaved paths. Wow, how lucky we are to enjoy these woods and prairies as if we were “Up North.� This new Park Development Plan will bulldoze and destroy it. I’m a park volunteer and have seen how they suffer under-budget and under-staffed with projects that beg to be done. Now comes the commissioners’ “Master Plan,� a rather grandiose development plan with millions of dollars for a project that many don’t want and with no future revenue to maintain it. A few years ago, when I attended an earlier plan meeting, it was more in compliance with residents’ wishes. What happened? Why did it change? It’s not about stewardship, restoration or protection, which used to be the keystones of the parks system. That needs to be a part of the plan. Let’s consider alternatives. Let’s ask ourselves what harm will be done? On the current plans, there

has been discussion of habitat destruction. We need to define ecological stewardship and water resource management. As an alternative, why not build network trails connecting with each other around the parks. Let’s keep encroachment to a minimum. This is an opportunity to leave either a bigger development footprint (as of the current plan) or minimize it. There is development everywhere. There are only the parks left – and development is there, too. How much should there be? How do we want our parks used? Do we want to protect them for the future? “How often we speak of the great silences of the wilderness and of the importance of preserving them and the wonder and peace to be found there. ‌ However should their silences be broken, they will never be the same.â€? – Sigurd Olson CAROL-ANN BLOOM Apple Valley

Balance needs to be found To the editor: Why does it seem like all the letters to the paper oppose paving any part of Lebanon Hills Regional Park? Why does it seem like the comments in public meetings oppose paving any part of the park? Why does it seem like the Dakota County Parks Department and the county commissioners ignore the public outcry? Why does it seem that they have their own agenda and are ignoring their constituents? Who was the person who first stood up and said: “Let’s look into paving some trails�? Will he or she stand up now and tell the paper why, and why it continues to be pushed? Will the present Park Department members and commissioners who are for the paving, tell the paper why it continues to

be pushed in the face of what seems to be an overwhelming opposition? It seems like the people sitting around the table are saying: “We know what’s good for you.� Who will stand up and tell the paper why the 2001 Master Plan, calling for the park to be preserved as a natural environment is wrong and we should now have paved trails? What next? Concession stands in the woods? Why not pave every trail? Why not have guides every 50 feet? Why not have neon trail markers? Why not drinking fountains every 100 yards? Why not trailside speakers explaining the local flora and fauna? Why not light the trails? How about vending machines dispensing granola bars? How about diaper changing stations? If this was some time ago in Kansas City, Chicago, or even St. Paul, one might wonder if someone had a relative in the landscaping or paving business.

Meaningful citizen involvement To the editor: Many appreciate that the Dakota County Board has delayed the process to adopt the Development Master Plan for Lebanon Hills Regional Park. Despite the delay, the plan continues to emphasize capital development over ecological stewardship, and creating the plan still does not have meaningful citizen involvement. Prior to adoption of any master plan, the board needs to amend the process to involve citizens in creation of the plan, rather then asking for their input after the fact. HOLLY JENKINS Eagan

He will also be visiting other schools in the country to talk and play with students during lunch and recess. Geis also farms soybeans and corn in southwestern Minnesota, so he will be looking at the crops grown around the farming community where he will be working. Sugar cane is the main crop grown near Costanza. The group will be completing Phase 2 of the building project, completing block and concrete work, stucco and paint

finishing. The group will also be visiting with community members and participating in a day of photography with the children, providing first-ever portraits for many of the children in this village. “My ultimate goal is to educate and enlighten my students here at North Trail and the broader community in Farmington,� Geis said, “to open their eyes to the broader sense of education. Here are people that are less fortunate than we are, but they have such a positive outlook. It’s been my experience that the people who are the most poor financially are often the most rich spiritually.�

that knowing and understanding changes in spending will lead to greater citizen engagement. NAIOP says reporting by expenditure type aims to show why county services cost what they do, such as the biggest part of the county’s budget – employee costs. The report showed that salaries and wages had declined from 2009 to 2013 by $15.89 million and fulltime equivalent positions fell by 132 during the same time frame. With that information, NAIOP says taxpayers can then ask if that has any implications for service delivery. “The standards (as proposed by NAIOP and the MCFE) would ensure that local governments provide transparency within their budgets and reports, much like a business,� Vicki Stute, Dakota County Regional Chamber of Commerce president, told NAIOP. Smith said he didn’t think the additional reporting that would be required by the legislation would be too burdensome. “We had the informa-

tion in our data systems and just had to assemble and report it out in a different format,� he said. NAIOP says the typical budget that shows spending by department doesn’t tell the whole story. Dakota County and many of the cities in the county know this and prepare many different charts and graphics in an attempt to help taxpayers understand it. Smith said the county hasn’t received a lot of taxpayer feedback in the past regarding its budget and financial reporting. “We can probably take that as a sign they’ve been fairly satisfied,� he said. Information about Dakota County’s budget can be found on its website, in newsletters and through presentations at board meetings, which are webcast. The same can be said of cities and school districts in Dakota County that provide budget information in a variety of formats and venues. Email Tad Johnson at tad.johnson@ecm-inc.com.

He imagines the bright futures now possible for those students who will be learning at this new vocational school. “Someday they could be teaching here in the United States,� he said. “They could be doctors.� This opportunity was presented to Geis because he is on the board of directors for the National Association of Elementary School Principals. He has also gone on a mission trip to Guatemala, and five years ago, he was a Fulbright scholar to Japan. “I love traveling, I love helping others, and I love learning,� he said. “We get to teach every single day. The day we stop learning

is the day they bury us.� Geis began his mission trip on Mon., Jan. 20, and will be in the Dominican Republic until Jan. 28. On Monday, he stopped in Atlanta to visit Our Lady of Perpetual Help, an organization that shares its beginnings with Our Lady of Peace in St. Paul, a cancer hospice where Geis and his family volunteers every week.

Paperwork mix-up delays Ugandan dancers Performance postponed at Apple Valley’s Heartbeat Studios by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A scheduled performance by Uganda’s Kika Troupe at Heartbeat Studios in Apple Valley last weekend was postponed, owing to a paperwork mix-up that prevented the dancers from boarding their plane to the United States. “The troupe was at the airport ready to depart, and they were stopped because the U.S. Embassy noticed a mistake on the paperwork necessary to enter the U.S.,� explained Heartbeat Studios director Deborah Lysholm. “It literally was like an ‘i’ not dotted or a ‘t’ not crossed,� she said. The Kika Troupe had scheduled a Jan. 19 performance at Heartbeat as the opening event in its first tour of the United States. Additional performances had been planned at area schools and arts venues Jan. 19-27, as well as at the Mall of America and the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport on Jan. 23 as part of Martin Luther King Jr./

The Kika Troupe hopes to reschedule many of its Minnesota performances, including its show at Heartbeat Studios, after issues regarding the dancers’ paperwork needed to enter the United States get sorted out.

As Kika Troupe director Kaddu Yusuf broke the news to Lysholm in a conference call from the

Ugandan airport, “I could hear some of the dancers sobbing in the background,� Lysholm said. The troupe hopes to reschedule many of its Minnesota performances, including its show at Heartbeat, once the paperwork issues get sorted out. “Sen. Al Franken is

getting involved to help with the situation, but it will take about two weeks to get the documents corrected,� Lysholm said. “They’re still coming – it’s just delayed. They are determined to make it work.� Email Andrew Miller at

TWISTED, from 1A music, keeping in touch with social media,� Jenny said. The name JC Twisted Photography comes from the way Jenny and Casey merge their styles into a unique representation of each event. While Jenny has an eye for people, emotion and posing, Casey brings a style that originates in a lot of detail with compositions and a different way of looking at the ordinary. The name is unique, so when the Hamborgs explain the name, they get to also describe

their photography styles. They’ve learned a lot since that first wedding about how to work together and how to work with the families of those getting married. “It’s a lot of working on the fly at a wedding,� Jenny said. “We’re really good at adapting.� “Along the way, there have been a lot of aha moments,� Casey said. “I think every single time we do a wedding, we do something different, but our template is the same. Our eyes have gotten better at seeing the potential.� For Jenny and Casey,

Candidate takes journey of self-discovery Congressional candidate Paula Overby spent a lifetime searching for her identity by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Congressional candidate Paula Overby has built her platform on becoming a voice for the voiceless. And Overby is no stranger to adversity herself. Born Paul Overby, the Eagan resident always knew she was different. As a young boy growing up in Wisconsin, Overby, who is transgender, hated having short hair, wearing boys clothes and preferred the company of girls over boys. Though she never dressed as a girl during her formative years, Overby said she always identified with girls. “I had a great childhood. I had all girl friends so, for the most part, I got to be a girl,� said Overby who is seeking the Democratic nomination in the 2nd Congressional District. The seat is currently held by Republican U.S. Rep. John Kline. This all changed in 1968 when Overby’s family moved from the Milwaukee area to Nashua, N.H. “It was a horrible move,� Overby said. “It was a huge culture shock.� Growing up in the Milwaukee area, Overby could sit by his female friends at lunch, but at his new junior high school, students were separated by gender. It was around this time Overby realized he identified more with girls than boys and began to do whatever he could to hide his gender issues. “I felt I had to hide it by being more masculine,� she said. After graduating from high school in 1972, Overby attended the University of Minnesota where he found a more liberating environment. Yet he continued to hide his inner battle. “You do it all in secret,� she said. “You feel guilt and shame.� While in college, Overby began to identify as gay and started dating a man. Within a couple years, he dropped out of college due to an abusive relationship — a relationship he had kept secret from his parents. Two years later, Overby returned to the university and graduated with a bachelor’s in psychology.

Finding fulďŹ llment In 1979, Overby began working as a mental health counselor in South St. Paul. “It was very rewarding,â€? she said. “You get a sense you are making a big difference in someone’s life.â€? At the time, mental health patients were beginning to be released from state hospitals, which was reportedly rife with abuse. Life in society, however, wasn’t always much better, Overby said. Many of her clients struggled with homelessness, and some committed suicide. “That never gets easy,â€? she said. “But I learned a lot from the people I worked with.â€? As a candidate for the DFL endorsement, Overby said she is committed to supporting programs that best serve the needs of people suffering from mental illness. Overby said she plans to examine ways to make some of these programs more efficient.

Family life Following the suicide of a male love interest in 1980, Overby decided to date women again. “I think it was a sense of denial,� she said. “I was attracted more by jealousy of what women had. I found them attractive but not sexually attractive.� That year, she met

Born Paul Overby, Eagan resident Paula Overby is a transgender woman and seeking the DFL endorsement for the 2nd Congressional seat.

Overby (right) is the parent of three children, including her son, Tyler, who graduated in 2011 from Eagan High School. Though her marriage to her ex-wife, Marie (left), ended in a bitter divorce, their children made it all worthwhile, Overby said. her ex-wife, Marie, while working with Marie’s mother. “I thought it was love at first sight,� Overby said. Though Overby lived as a heterosexual man, he privately dressed as a woman. Since he was terrified friends or co-workers would discover the crossdressing. Overby would change into dresses in the car before driving home from work. When stopping for gas, he would change back into male clothes before getting out of the car. “I was always terrified someone would catch me,� she said. Over time, Overby became comfortable wearing women’s clothing in public, but would tell people he lost a bet or some similar story. “I always had a good excuse and people would accept it,� she said. Though Overby hid it from friends and family, he shared the truth behind the cross-dressing with Marie and even proposed to her while wearing a dress. The couple were wed in 1984. That same year Overby took a job at an IT company after graduating from the University of Minnesota with a computer science degree. Over the years the couple tried to live an otherwise ordinary family life. Excited to be a parent, Overby had no qualms raising Marie’s 3-year-old daughter, Jamie, as his own. “The best thing I got out of my marriage was being a parent, and I love it,� Overby said. Within a few years, the couple had two more children: Courtney and Tyler. “Growing up, he was a very involved dad,� Tyler, 20, said. “But looking back, I could tell she had a very motherly nature.� Overby’s children knew their father dressed in women’s clothing — a fact that Tyler said never bothered him. “We were a pretty normal family,� he said. “We’d go to the park and grill. He’d teach me to do guy stuff like use a riding lawn mower and a chain saw safely.� The couple moved to Eagan in 1987 to raise their growing family. Early in the relationship, Overby’s wife seemed to accept her husband’s lifestyle, but over the next 10 years, it became one of many wedges in the relationship, Overby said. By 1993, Overby began to question her gender identity and began to more frequently wear women’s clothing in public. It was the beginning of what Overby calls her “man in a dress� phase. Though she frequently wore dresses, she continued to maintain short hair and a mustache. Soon Overby and Marie became increasingly estranged. “I think she saw the transgender issue as a threat,� Overby said. By 2009, the couple headed into a bitter divorce and a two-year-long battle over their Eagan home and custody of Tyler, then 15.

Overby spent two decades working in the IT industry and even owned her own startup at one point, but now found herself unemployed and homeless. After bouncing between shelters and other temporary living arrangements for five months, Overby found an apartment. But distraught by the loss of her home and son, Overby had spiraled into a depression and heavy drinking. “It began to manifest as a death wish, and I thought that drinking myself to death was the only possible conclusion,� Overby said. Within a year, Overby quit drinking with the assistance of a 12-step program and decided to take back control of her life. By January 2011, Overby won her battle with her ex-wife by reclaiming the family home and custody of their son who graduated six months early that spring from Eagan High School.

Finding identity By that time, Overby had also finally realized who she was — a transgender woman. And that spring she began her transition by taking hormones. She had just started a new job at a corporate bank and was nervous how her colleagues would adjust to the change. Unable to stand the anxiety, Overby marched into her boss’ office and told him she would be, from then on, coming to work as a woman. “Looking back, I didn’t need to do it that way,� Overby said. “I should have given them more notice.� Overby worked from home for the following week while the company prepared employees. When she returned, she was pleasantly surprised by her co-workers’ acceptance. Though she found relief at work, not everything went as smoothly as Overby had hoped. Eager to legally change her identity to female, Overby was often frustrated that she was required to first seek approval from a therapist. “I agree most trans people benefit from therapy,� she said. “But I felt I had already gotten therapy through AA. I know who I am.� By March 2012, Overby was no longer Paul but legally Paula. Choosing a name so similar to her male name is relatively rare in the transgender community. Overby said she didn’t want to forget her past life but rather bridge the two. Though she is legally a woman, Overby said she hopes to one day take the final step in her process with surgery. It’s a costly endeavor that is often not covered by health insurance and, like other steps in the process, would require a therapist’s approval.

Letting go Though letting go of her male identity was easy for Overby, it came as a challenge for some of her

family. Her two sisters supported her decision but still struggle in some ways to understand, Overby said. “It’s often hardest for friends and family because they’ve known that person so long in one way,� she said. “For myself, it’s not a change. It’s finally being who I am and not pretending anymore.� The change has been hardest for Overby’s 86-year-old mother, who still refers to her as Paul. “It was hard at first, but I’ve accepted it,� Overby said. “I know she loves me, and that’s what matters.�

Overby’s father and brother, who died decades ago, never knew Overby was transgender. “I wish (my father) could be here today,� she said. “I think we would have interesting conversations. I think he would be proud of me.� Through it all, Overby said her children have been some of her greatest supporters. Overby said her eldest daughter sometimes feels uncomfortable with the change but is otherwise accepting of it. “She feels some loss of her father, which is pretty normal,� Overby said. Tyler said he was a little surprised to learn his father would become a woman but was always supportive. “It was a little weird at first,� Tyler said. Unlike his eldest sister, Tyler said he doesn’t feel like he lost a father but rather still has two parents — both of whom happen to be female. “She’s still my parent,� he said. “But instead of calling her Mom or Dad, she’s Paula.� Tyler said he was more surprised when Overby announced she would run for office. “I think it’s awesome,� he said of her campaign. “I think she has a great message and can get young people involved.� He said he doesn’t worry about the attention — even negative — that may come with having a transgender parent seeking the

Democrat endorsement.. Like Tyler, his 24-yearold sister, Courtney has supported Overby from the start. A college student in Minneapolis, she has embraced the transgender community and has a transgender boyfriend. Her daughter’s struggle with mounting student loan debt inspired Overby to focus much of her campaign on higher education and addressing its rising cost. Overby said she never had any qualms about being a transgender candidate. Perhaps a sign of the times, Overby said she has generally encountered positive reactions from people since coming out as transgender. Even a few negative experiences turned positive in the end, she said. Overby recalls one instance when a group of men at a gas station began laughing and making jokes upon seeing she was transgender, yet when she asked for their assistance with her vehicle, the jokes ended and they helped. Though she’s the first to admit her chances of winning are slim, Overby said her goal is to provide a voice for all the district’s citizens. “It’s not so much who we send to Washington as the message we create,� she said.

Sports Eagan, Lakeville South go to True Team finals Irish, Tigers third in their section swimming and diving meets by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Eagan and Lakeville South will be among the 12 teams chasing the Class AA True Team boys swimming and diving championship Saturday at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center. Eagan qualified by winning the Section 2AA championship Jan. 18 at Olson Middle School in Bloomington. Lakeville South earned a wildcard spot after finishing second to Prior Lake in

the Section 3AA meet in Prior Lake. Also getting a wild-card spot was Eden Prairie, which won the 2013 Class AA True Team championship. This year’s Class AA True Team finals begin at 6:30 p.m. Saturday.

Section 2AA Eagan earned its place at state by finishing first in the eight-team Section 2AA meet, 200.5 points ahead of Bloomington Jefferson. The Wildcats opened with victories in four of the first five swimming events. In the 200-yard individual medley Parker Lemke, Max Griesgraber, Eli Broman and Grant Swanson took first in 1 minute, 43.56 seconds.

Lemke won the 200 freestyle in 1:49.44, Broman won the 200 individual medley in 2:02.31 and added a victory in the 100 butterfly in 53.97. The Wildcats’ Griesgraber, Jasper Appleton, Tal Shub and Sam Zenner won the 200 medley relay in 1:31.76. Eagan also dominated in diving, taking four of the top six places. Toby Heller (407.75 points) and Alex Crow (401.95) were first and second.

Section 3AA Prior Lake scored 877 points to edge Lakeville South by five, although the Cougars still advanced to the state meet through the wild card scoring procedure. Rosemount (846),

Lakeville North (756), Apple Valley (566) and Eastview (509) completed the field. Lakeville South senior Mitch Herrera dominated the distance freestyle races, winning the 200 by almost three seconds (his time was 1:46.33) and the 500 by almost 14 seconds (his time was 4:52.22). Two other South swimmers won two races each. Luke Sabal took the 200 individual medley (2:01.18) and 100 breaststroke (1:02.13), and Adrian Sommers won the 50 freestyle (22.00) and 100 freestyle (49.44). Rosemount’s Daniel Monaghan, the defending state Class AA diving champion, won that event at True Team sections

with 404.90 points. Lakeville North seventh-grader Andrew Trepanier won the 100 backstroke in 54.67 and added a second-place finish in the 100 butterfly. Apple Valley’s top individual was senior Aaron Olson, who finished third in the 100 backstroke and fourth in the 100 butterfly. Eastview senior Tucker Hoffman was second to Monaghan in the diving competition with 348.60 points.

Rochester Century, which recently won its 100th consecutive dual meet, took the Section 1AA True Team title with 963 points. Farmington, which won the previous three section titles, was third this time with 859. Oddly, both Century and Section 1AA runnerup Hastings declined invitations to the True Team finals. That opened a place for a fifth wild card team and Maple Grove earned the spot.

Notes: local speedskater just misses Olympics by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

When Lindsey Vonn announced earlier this month she would not compete at the 2014 Winter Olympics, she was not the only athlete with Dakota County ties who was denied a trip to Sochi, Russia. Apple Valley native Rebekah Bradford, a U.S. Olympic speedskater in 2010, just missed making this year’s Olympic team. She was one-tenth of a second from qualifying in the 1,000-meter race – the event she skated in the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver – at the U.S. speedskating trials in Salt Lake City. Health issues had sidetracked Bradford since she skated in the 2010 Olympics. She had surgery on both knees in 2011, and in 2012 developed a pulmonary embolism that was potentially life-threatening. Bradford, 30, lives in the Salt Lake City area with her husband, Eric Plath. While her speedskating future is up in the air, Vonn, the Buck Hill-trained Alpine skier, made it clear she intends to be back. Vonn recently had another operation on her right knee, which required surgery in February 2013 after she crashed during a World Cup race. She re-injured the knee twice since then and determined that it would not be stable enough for her to compete in Sochi. Vonn, a four-time women’s World Cup overall champion and Olympic downhill gold medalist in 2010, has said she intends to return for the 2014-15 World Cup season.

North volleyball coach Jackie Richter, formerly head volleyball coach at Minneapolis Southwest, has been named to the same position at Lakeville North, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported last week. She will replace Walt Weaver, who coached the Panthers for two years following Milan Mader’s retirement. Weaver, a hall of fame coach who had more than 600 victories at Apple Valley, had said he viewed himself as an interim coach at Lakeville North while the school sought a permanent replacement. North was 58-6 the last two seasons, winning the state Class 3A championship in 2012 and finishing second to eventual state champion Eagan in the 2013 Section 3 final.

After retiring from teaching and coaching at AVHS in late 2012, Fritze was hired as Minnesota Crookston’s defensive coordinator. The Golden Eagles’ head coach at the time was Paul Miller, who was Fritze’s predecessor as head football coach at Apple Valley. Miller, however, took a leave of absence last July to address health issues, and Fritze was put in charge of the program. The Golden Eagles went 2-9 last year with a lineup that had more true freshmen playing than is common in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference. The victories were against Bemidji State and Minnesota State Moorhead.

Sportscaster of the year Lakeville resident Mike Grimm was named Minnesota Sportscaster of the Year by the National Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association. Grimm has done playby-play of University of Minnesota men’s basketball on the Gopher Radio Network since 2006. He also was a pregame, halftime and postgame show host for University of Minnesota football radio broadcasts from 2006 until 2011, at which time he became the football team’s play-by-play voice. This is the third time Grimm has been named Minnesota Sportscaster of the Year. He also was named Iowa Sportscaster of the Year in 1999. In addition to his play-by-play duties, Grimm is sports director of the Minnesota News Network.

Farmington skaters extend winning streak to 9 Tigers anticipating showdown with New Prague for Missota lead by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Two of the hottest teams in Minnesota high school boys hockey play just a few miles apart in Dakota County. One, Lakeville North, has zoomed into the top five of the state Class AA rankings. The other, Farmington, is getting by with less public attention. Farmington is 14-3-1 after drubbing Owatonna 9-0 on Tuesday night. The Tigers have won nine in a row and are unbeaten in their last 10 games. But last week they weren’t ranked in the top 20 in Class AA by Let’s Play Hockey. That doesn’t bother Tigers coach Keith Revels, who said he wouldn’t mind if the team stayed under the radar all season. “To be honest, we very rarely make any kind of reference to the winning streak,” he said. “That’s not what we’re the most concerned about. We’re trying to be the best team we can be come playoff time.” Farmington is in Section 1AA, which means the Tigers could face Lakeville North at some point in the postseason. Lakeville North, which is unbeaten in its last 14 games, has played an assortment of ranked teams. The last ranked team Farmington played was New Prague (sixth in Class

A) on Dec. 19. The teams skated to a 4-4 tie. The Tigers haven’t taken days off against the teams they’ve been playing. Farmington has outscored opponents 56-14 over the nine-game winning streak. This year’s Tigers are deeper than last year’s, with more offensive skill. “Our leading scorer last year had 28 points,” Revels said. “We’ll probably have five guys with more than that this year. “Last year we scored 91 goals in 27 games. This year we have 94 in 18. Last year we were playing a lot of freshmen and sophomores. This year they’re sophomores and juniors with a lot more experience, and we’ve been able to combine them with a good senior group.” Farmington’s top-scoring line of John Siebenaler, Justin Novak and Austin Martinsen had one goal – the first goal – in Tuesday’s victory at Owatonna. Jack Erickson scored three of his team’s five secondperiod goals as the Tigers rolled to victory. Fifteen players had at least one point. Gage Overby made 18 saves to earn the shutout. Overby has played the majority of time in goal in part because Nick Schoening, the Tigers’ other varsity goalie, missed some time because of an injury. “We have two goalies we have a lot of confi-

dence in,” Revels said. “At some point we’re going to have to make a decision (as to which one starts in the playoffs), but I’m not sure when that will be.” Farmington rotates six defensemen, all of whom have helped the Tigers hold opponents to about 2.3 goals per game. Before the playoffs, the Tigers would like to win the Missota Conference. New Prague leads the league at 7-0-1 while Farmington is 6-0-1. The race appears to be between those two as none of the other Missota teams has a winning record in the conference. The Tigers play host to Red Wing at 7:15 p.m. Friday, then take on New Prague on Tuesday, Jan. 28, at Schmitz-Maki Arena. “The winner of that game (against New Prague) will have the upper hand in the conference – unless it’s another tie,” Revels said. “Our games against New Prague are usually close. I’m glad we’re getting them at home.”

Rosemount

Farmington 8-2 on Dec. 17; coincidentally, that’s the last time Farmington lost. In the last 11 games the Irish have beaten Apple Valley twice, defeated Lakeville South and Cloquet-Esko-Carlton, and tied Bloomington Jefferson. Sophomore forward Charlie Monn scored in the first period of the Burnsville game, pulling the Irish into a 1-1 tie. Zach Bichler and Andy Glad assisted. Burnsville scored two goals about three minutes apart in the second period to take control. Rosemount goalie Tom Fraune made 28 saves. Lukas Gillett had a hat trick in a 7-5 loss to Lakeville South last Saturday. The Cougars avenged an 8-5 loss to Rosemount two weeks earlier, a game where the Irish’s Ryan Foley had three goals and three assists and Gillett had two goals and two assists. Gillett (29 points) and Foley (27) are Rosemount’s leading scorers. Rosemount (6-10-1 overall, 3-8-1 South Suburban Conference) plays at Rochester Lourdes at 7 p.m. Thursday before returning to conference play against Eagan at 3 p.m. Saturday at Rosemount Community Center.

The Irish lost 4-1 to No. 2-ranked Burnsville on Tuesday night but have been playing better of late. Rosemount started the season with losses in its first six games but has gone 6-4-1 since then. Email Mike Shaughnessy at Rosemount broke the mike.shaughnessy@ecmlosing streak by beating inc.com.

Thisweekend Maximum Hitchcock at the Steeple Center ‘Rear Window’ opens Hitchcock Film Series Jan. 31

by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Rosemount’s Steeple Center will be a hotbed of murder, suspense, secret agents and knife-wielding horror in coming months. The Rosemount Area Arts Council is kicking off its Hitchcock Film Series on Jan. 31 with “Rear Window,� the 1954 suspense thriller starring James Stewart and Grace Kelly. Other Hitchcock films in the series include “Vertigo� (Feb. 28), “North by Northwest� (March 28) and “Psycho� (April 25). The roster of Hitchcock films is the second installment in the arts council’s ongoing Classic Film Series, which began in March 2013 with a screening of “Casablanca.� For “Casablanca,� guests were encouraged to come dressed in attire inspired by the classic Humphrey Bogart film – Bogie’s

iconic white suit, Ingrid Bergman’s khaki blazer, or Sydney Greenstreet’s fez. For “Rear Window,� guests can come dressed in costume, though the arts council isn’t hyping that aspect of the screening this time around – partly because the Alfred Hitchcock film is big on psychological thrills but not so much on memorable costumes. “You can come dressed in costume – we’re open to that and we like the festiveness, but we’re not emphasizing that this time,� said Jim Kotz, the RAAC member chairing the Hitchcock series. As to why the arts council decided to shine the spotlight on Hitchcock for this season of films, classic-film buff Kotz said it was a matter of paying homage to one of the movie industry’s all-time great directors. “To me, there’s a difference between a good old movie and a classic film,�

‘Ole & Lena’ renew vows

he said. “I honestly think that by watching a Hitchcock film you’re watching a master. “Moviemaker magazine called him the ‘most influential filmmaker of all time,’ and you will hear other directors, modernday directors, say they have learned a lot from him. ‌ He was known as the ‘master of suspense,’ and he was able to do these really neat, artsy-type of things with his films.â€? The arts council is renting a 14-foot screen for the Steeple Center showing of “Rear Window,â€? and standard movie theater refreshments such as popcorn, candy and soda will be on offer. Tickets for “Rear Windowâ€? are $6 and can be purchased at the Steeple Center, 14375 S. Robert Trail, and online at www. rosemountarts.com.

Comedy comes to Rosemount Arts council hosts ‘Comedy Club’ event Jan. 25 at Steeple Center by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Dennis Carney isn’t a big fan of what comics refer to as “blue� material. In other words, the 72-year-old standup comic from Savage likes to keep it clean. “A comedian friend told me a long time ago, if you have to use the F-word to get a laugh, you might as well quit right now,� he said. Carney will be bringing his PG-rated routine to Rosemount’s Steeple Center on Saturday, Jan. 25, at the Rosemount Area Arts Council’s first “Comedy Club� event. He’ll be joined at the show by two other comics – William Hill and Pizpor the Magician – from his Car-Den Productions comedy group, which hosts standup events throughout the Twin Cities about twice a month. Hill, an impressionist, does comedic takes on celebrities such as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Rodney Dangerfield. Renaissance Festival veteran Pizpor the Magician is billed as “the finest magician to ever emerge from the tick-infested forests of northern Minnesota.� He’s a comic magician whose act hinges on flubbing sleights of hand and stage illusions. “He’s a very good magician, but things always go wrong,� Carney said. Carney, who retired in 2000 after nearly four decades working in the production department at the Pioneer Press, said he got interested in doing comedy after joining Toastmasters, the nonprofit which aims to build public speaking and leadership skills. Carney began honing his standup skills at open-mic nights at Twin Cities comedy venues such as the Joke Joint and Acme Comedy Club. Recruiting

some of the other comics he met at those events, Carney formed the CarDen troupe and started staging his own shows. A fan of Jack Benny and Jay Leno, Carney said self-effacing humor is at the heart of his act. “Basically, I poke fun at myself,� he said. The Jan. 25 show is the first of what Rosemount Area Arts Council members hope will be a series of comedy nights. A second event featuring the Car-Den comics is scheduled for March 8. Tickets for the 7:30 p.m. Jan. 25 show are $5 and can be purchased in advance at the Steeple Center, 14375 S. Robert Trail, and online at www.rosemountarts.com.

16A January 23, 2014 DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE CAUCUS, from 1A attending caucuses is perhaps the easiest way to take that first step.� Staley said the chance for people to make known their preferences for the Republican endorsement for U.S. Senate and governor will bring out voters. “We have a number of terrific candidates for governor and U.S. Senate, and caucuses are a first step toward a favorite emerging there,� Staley said. Martin said Dayton and DFL legislators worked to build a better Minnesota. Among their accomplishments, he said, are that more Minnesotans are working since Dayton took office, the state has a fairer tax system and people are free to marry whom they love. Staley said GOP activists are most concerned about the negative impact of the DFL and governor’s tax increases and greater regulations on the economy. Other concerns are over the “deeply flawed� implementation of the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, and MNsure, the statewide health care exchange website. “The bottom line for Minnesota is that the DFL in the Legislature and the governor spent a lot of money on a health care program that seems unlikely to deliver any substantial improvements to the system,� Staley said. Martin cited the state budget surplus and Minnesota’s economy being the fifth fastest growing the country as positive indicators of the DFL efforts in state government. “With free all-day kindergarten for all students, a tuition freeze at state colleges and universities, and affordable, accessible health care for every Minnesotan, Gov. Dayton and DFL leaders have made investments that will provide long-term prosperity for the state,� he said.

Staley said Republicans are also concerned about the approval of the unionization vote for in-home day care providers. “(That) is seen as an extreme overreach and a political payoff,� Staley said. “It is an intrusion into a simple small business.� Staley said Republicans continue to advocate for limited, back-to-thebasics, affordable government. He said the party is focused on accountability and results in the areas where the state government has a constitutional role, such a education and infrastructure. “When government is too big and takes too much from the private economy in taxes and the impact of

regulation, it actually has the terrible potential of hurting those it intends to help,� Staley said. For those new to the precinct caucuses, the Minnesota DFL has developed a video, “What to expect at a precinct caucus� at www.dfl.org under “Find Your District.� The website also features a precinct caucus locator for people unsure of where their precinct caucus is held. Some precinct locations may have changed this year, so people are encouraged to check out what precinct they live in by going to http://pollfinder.sos. state.mn.us.
