Dew Days committee pays off debt one year early Successful 2013 celebration allowed for two payments by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

It’s not every day that someone walks into city hall to present the city with a big check and a smile. But the Dew Days committee did just that during Monday’s Farmington City Council meeting by paying off its debt one year early. Dew Days incurred a $26,000 deficit because of low attendance in 2009, so the city of Farmington and Empire Township loaned the money to be paid back in five years. Due to the success of Dew Days in June, committee member Julie McKnight presented the city with the final two payments, one year ahead of schedule. She thanked the city of Farmington for stepping up back in 2009, and she was happy to reward the council members by paying it back early. “I firmly believe without the foresight of Farmington and Empire Township we would not have a Dew Days organization today,” McKnight said. “We had a very successful year, and I anticipate next year will be even better yet.

Mayhem at the midway Demolition derby is Dakota County Fair’s weekend grandstand headliner by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Parents, spouses, children, insurance companies, and just about everyone you know would prefer you avoid crashing into another car. But in a controlled environment, there’s something about watching cars run into each other. “My kids like the idea of seeing Dad crash around,” Farmington demolition derby driver Nick Vought said. “I know my kids love it, and

I have a lot of friends who do it.” Vought, 34, hasn’t missed a demolition derby at the Dakota County Fair in 17 years. He was a teenager when he first took the wheel in the smashing contest. This year, he’s fixing up a minivan for the competition. “I stripped out everything you don’t need,” he said. “You want one with the least amount of rust possible and as strong as possible. It takes about three solid weeks of weekends and evenings to

get it derby ready. If I said a number on how many hours, my wife would probably kill me.” It’s not exactly a profitable venture. He paid $200 for the minivan and installed a new motor. The top prize is different for every division, but for minivans it’s $600. The largest prize will be in the fullsize car program, for which the champion will receive $1,800.

Officials in the Rosemount-Apple-Valley-Eagan School District will ask voters this fall to pass an estimated $10 million annual increase to its operating levy. The School Board unanimously approved on Aug. 5 asking voters this November to revoke its existing levy and replace it with a 10-year, $1,486 per pupil levy. This would result in a $375 per pupil increase from the current operating levy, which brings in $20 million annually. The existing levy is set to expire in 2015. If passed, homeowners would see an estimated $184 increase in the school district’s portion of taxes on an average-valued home of $225,000. “This doesn’t solve the problem, though,” Board Member Art Coulson said. Officials warn that the school district could continue to face budget shortfalls despite an increase in the levy. The district could face an estimated $4 million in cuts during the 2014-15 school year due to unstable See LEVY, 7A

Buzzing, honking and drilling could be heard throughout the Dakota County Technical College hallways last week. Presumably, young men in hard hats would be seen earning their credits in railway and automotive classes. Instead, when looking through classroom doorways, teenage girls were inspecting the underbellies of cars and operating backhoes. Girls in fifth through eighth grades explored career options in technical education from Monday, July 29, to Friday, Aug. 2, in Teens Experiencing Technical Education (TXT).

A total of 175 students from Rosemount, Apple Valley, Burnsville and beyond learned how to dismantle computers, direct rail cars, operate robotics and much more in workshops. TXT is a program designed to give young girls the opportunity for handson interaction with real jobs that may not be considered typical careers for women. Allison Duchscherer will be a seventh-grader at Rosemount Middle School in the fall. She did not know much about technical careers before attending TXT. “We went to the railroads and learned how to change the trains beSee GIRLS, 12A

The Southern Cruzers are going to find out if bluegrass music and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;57 Chevys go together at the Summer Spectacular scheduled 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Aug. 24 at the Dakota County Fairgrounds in Farmington. In its 25th year, the Southern Cruzersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; event features a car show, swap meet and craft fair serving as a fundraiser for various charities and scholarships. The group is adding live music to the menu this year. Two bluegrass bands, Alternate Route and Middle Spunk Creek, will perform at the bandshell in the Dakota City Heritage Village from 10 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Several members of the Souther Cruzers have grown fond of bluegrass music, according to member Jim Neher. The main attraction will always be the vehicles. The Cruzers are expecting between 300-400 vehicles on display. The event has had as many as 460. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The biggest variety is going to be cars from the 1950s and 60s and lots of street rods,â&#x20AC;? Neher said. There are 15 classes of cars with categories starting in 1900-1935 on up to present, along with sports cars, street rods, trucks, imports, convertibles, Corvettes and street machines. They plan to award 75 class trophies plus two â&#x20AC;&#x153;Best of Showâ&#x20AC;?

Leprechaun Days draws crowds despite rain Weather was suitable most events July 19-28 by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Rain and colder than usual temperatures were cited as preventing crowds from swelling to as large as they have in the past for the biggest events of Rosemount Leprechaun Days, which was held from July 19-28. Last Saturday’s rain that fell during the Grand Day Parade had some people packing up early, but most attendees continued to line the parade route from the high school to the middle school throughout the 100-unit parade. Temperatures throughout the Twin Cities area averaged 15 to 20 degrees below normal, which is more indicative of early October, according to the National Weather Service. The Twin Cities high temperature of 64 degrees on July 27 set a record for being the lowest ever. What that meant for Leprechaun Days vendors was some of what they were selling, like frozen treats and cold beer, did not move as fast as in past years. The reduced number of people out on Friday and Saturday nights also cut into some sales. “It’s unfortunate that

Opinion Most schools are safe, but there’s room for improvement As parents prepare to send their children back to school this fall, shootings in schools may have them wondering if Minnesota school buildings are safe. Experts say school buildings are very safe, but while there are crisis plans in place in most buildings, there’s no guarantee that all schools will be free of violence. The April 1999 shooting deaths of 12 students and one teacher at Columbine High School in Colorado sounded the alarm to school leaders and law enforcement that changes had to be made. Rick J. Kaufman, executive director of community relations and emergency management for the Bloomington school system, led the crisis response team at Columbine. Since then, he has become a nationally respected consultant and trainer of school safety and recently led a schoolsafety audit of Bloomington’s school buildings and developed recommendations that could be a model for all schools. The Bloomington School Board has authorized a bond levy election this

ECM Editorial fall for $6 million to make school buildings safer. If the levy is approved, upgrades would include: renovating all main entrances to schools, changing locks on all classroom doors, improving security camera systems and installing manual alarms. Other school districts planning school safety referendums in the fall and spring include Stillwater, Eastern Carver County, Eden Prairie and Wayzata. Since the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Kaufman has advised school officials to update their crisis management plans along with involving local law enforcement, fire department and other life safety partners. The intent is to create barriers in school buildings to thwart intruders and protect students and staff. Kaufman’s first recommendation is to remodel main entrances of schools so

there is a secondary set of secure doors in place, funneling all visitors into the main office before gaining access into the school. Most schools require visitors to come through a front door and sign in. That’s not good enough. Another recommendation is to install classroom doors that can be locked from the inside by the teachers. Many classroom doors now can only be locked from the outside. Kaufman advises that all entry doors to the school should be locked, except the primary front entrance. Other recommendations are: Adopt a visitor management system integrated with the district’s student data base to ensure visitors have legitimate business at the school. Install security cameras to serve as a deterrent to detect incidents. Put in a silent panic button in school offices to alert staff of an emergency. Train all staff to respond to emergency situations, according to the National Incident Management System. Kaufman advises that all volunteers

who work in schools to undergo background checks much like those that all employees are required to undergo. He also suggests that an intervention system be set up to identify troubled students early so that they can be helped. The Milaca School District staff meets every other week to identify students K-12 who need special help. Students need to know the importance of reporting other students threatening violence or wishing to harm themselves. Kaufman says in all major shootings, the shooter had told someone of their plans to commit acts of violence in the school building. Ramona Dohman, commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety says schools in Minnesota are very safe. While that’s reassuring, school officials have an obligation to do all they can to create schools where students feel safe and can learn better. An opinion of the ECM Editorial Board.

Second opinions valuable in medicine and in schools by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Fortunately, a second medical opinion this week showed I did not need a painful “spinal tap.” Instead, the second doctor who examined me (after I expressed concerns about the first, dramatic diagnosis), prescribed ice on my back and anti-pain pills every four to six hours. My morning’s very sore neck felt much better by the end of the day – and I was reminded once again, about the value of a second opinion, whether it’s in medicine or in education. When I was 12, I took a woodshop and metal class. The teacher told me if he had not talked with other teachers, he would have referred me to be reviewed as

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Joe Nathan a “special needs” student. I was really bad at metal shop. Despite my best efforts, I produced a spatula that was nowhere near as nice as a number of other young men’s … some of whom did not do well in writing or math. Those were areas where I did pretty well. In another column, I’ve mentioned terrific YouTube videos produced by students at High School for Recording

Arts (centerforschoolchange.org/dualcredit). These are incredibly creative and helped win their school the national best “school small business” award from Junior Achievement last year. Some of the most creative kids producing these videos are students who in other schools had been classified as “behavior problems” and “anti-social.” At High School for Recording Arts, they excel. My plea to parents is: Don’t be afraid to seek a second opinion, not just in medicine but also in education. If your child is doing well in a traditional classroom, great. Some students don’t thrive in a traditional classroom but excel in a more project-based, applied program. I think of the students at High School for Re-

cording Arts or the St. Paul Conservatory for Performing Arts and students who love a program called “Genesis Works.” Genesis Works students attend traditional schools part of the day and then spend another part of the day as interns in businesses. I’ll say more about this in a future column. The conventional school works well for some students. But some require a second opinion and a second option. True in medicine. True in schools. Joe Nathan, formerly a Minnesota Public School teacher and administrator, directs the Center for School Change. Reactions welcome, joe@centerforschoolchange.org.

Letters Leprechaun Days a rousing success To the editor: I would like to send a heartfelt thank you to everyone involved in Rosemount Leprechaun Days. This year we had more than 65 events during 10 days. We waited in line for a pork chop, cheered a kid catching their first fish, crossed the finish line at the Run for the Gold, gave blood at Walgreen’s, danced a little jig, drew with sidewalk chalk, had a root beer float, square danced, got a temporary tattoo, had a New Zealand meat pie, got an autograph from an NHL player, played pickleball for the first time, ate a few hot dogs, drove a tractor, ran with a bathtub and on and on. A big shout out to the Rosemount police, parks and recreation and public works departments; police reserves and mounted patrol. We couldn’t do it without all of their hard work.

We had a wee bit of rain on our parade, but we marched on. Great job to everyone, especially Maureen Bouchard who organized the 100 units. We are proud to have honored the Rosemount High School marching band directors as parade marshals who are preparing for the Rose Bowl parade. Midsummer Faire was a big hit. Great bands, food and vendors. Thanks to Mike Bouchard, who keeps it all under control, and Steve Ball, for once again keeping us rockin’ the night away. Thanks to those who cleaned up after the crowds left each night. We were treated to a beautiful fireworks display, and we can always count on RES to give us a few surprises. A big thanks to our wonderful committee members. Without their time, knowledge and hard work none of this would be possible. Thank you to our sponsors. We couldn’t reach this level of success without their continued support. They

help fund the bands, fireworks, parts of the parade, recycling and much more. A thank you to the local newspapers for their coverage and many photos. Planning for next year has already begun, as we are working on warmer weather. Thank you all so very much for making my first year as president so wonderful. DIANE WELLMAN Leprechaun Days president

Rosemount employees thanked To the editor: Every year, following Leprechaun Days, I mean to write a letter to the editor but always forget. Not this time. I would like to compliment the Rosemount Public Works and Parks and Recreation departments on the great work they do in keeping Rosemount’s streets and parks looking great.

What a positive message we give to the many outof-town visitors we have during the 10 days of Leprechaun Days. The hanging baskets, planters, and flags create one of the most beautiful street scenes in the state. The streets, sidewalks, paths and parks are all kept clean. Fresh cut grass, newly painted structures and fresh wood chips create such a wonderful, welcoming, and pleasant experience. Yet these departments don’t get all the credit they deserve. The City Council needs to be thanked in appropriating funding, however it takes more than money. It takes the commitment of the staff to do their best, and they do. My wife Ann and I just want to let you know, we appreciate it.

beef with U.S. Rep. John Kline, R-Burnsville, for hosting a jobs fair which involved for-profit education schools. These companies teach vital skills to the unemployed so that they may find suitable careers. It is difficult to discern whether Springer wants these private companies to go bankrupt or if he thinks that pouring even more of the taxpayers money into public education will help it produce better results. Springer must be aware of the many studies that show there is little or no return on investment when more money is thrown at education. Springer’s notion that more money spent on preschool programs is pure folly as children attending these programs show no appreciable gains after children matriculate to the third and John Loch fourth grades.

Kline’s bill would gut education dollars for poor students when a record numbers of U.S. children are living in poverty, weaken the accountability of schools serving low-income, minority and special-education students and allow states to ignore their worst schools instead of improve them. An unusual coalition of business groups, such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Business Roundtable, have joined teachers unions, civil rights groups and advocates for the disabled to oppose the GOP bill. Education policy must be updated. As the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights said: “This bill is not an update; it is a rollback. It undermines the core American value of equal opportunity in education embodied in Brown v. Board of Education. It abandons accountability for the achievement and learning gains of subgroups of disadvantaged students who for generations have been harmed by low academic expectations. It eliminates goals and performance targets for academic achievement, removes parameters regarding the use of federal funds to help improve struggling schools, does not address key disparities in opportunity such as access to highquality college preparatory curricula, restricts the federal government from protecting disadvantaged students, does not address poor quality tests, and fails to advance the current movement toward college-and career-ready standards.” There are many good things to be said for the 60s. Returning to the educational policies of the time, however, is not one of them. RON GOLDSER Eagan

DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE August 8, 2013

Sovis retires from 1st Judicial District bench The Commission on Judicial Selection announced last week that a judgeship vacancy is open in Minnesota’s 1st Judicial District Court. Judge Michael V. Sovis, 64, of Apple Valley, has retired, leaving a vacancy to be chambered at Hastings. Sovis was appointed to the Dakota County District Court in 1998 by Gov. Rudy Perpich and won elections in 1990, 1996, 2002 and 2008. His retirement comes after he pleaded guilty May 22 to third-degree driving under the influence stemming from his Dec. 24 arrest in St. Paul when the Lexus SUV he was driving struck several parked cars along the 1200 block of St. Clair Avenue. Court documents reported that Sovis’ bloodalcohol concentration was 0.28. The legal limit to drive is 0.08. Gov. Mark Dayton reviewed and approved Sovis’ application for a medical retirement, according

Michael Sovis to the Pioneer Press. The newspaper reported that Sovis will spend a year on medical retirement and collect the pension he accrued for 25 years on the bench. Sovis has not worked since his arrest. He was sentenced to two years probation and was ordered to seek treatment and counseling, according to the Pioneer Press. In an effort to replace Sovis, the commission reported in a press release that it is searching for fair, experienced, and civic-minded individuals

to serve on the bench and offer their talents and services to Minnesota’s judicial system. The following qualities will be considered for judicial office: integrity, maturity, health (if job related), judicial temperament, legal knowledge, ability, experience, and community service. An individual wishing to apply may request an application by writing to Lee E. Sheehy, chair of the Commission on Judicial Selection, at 130 State Capitol, 75 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd., St. Paul, MN 55155, or by contacting Andrew Olson, appointments coordinator, via email at andrew.c.olson@state. mn.us. Application materials are due by close of business, Monday, Aug. 19. Interviews are scheduled Thursday, Sept. 5, at the Rice County Courthouse in Faribault. – Tad Johnson

Employee by day, student by night at Inver Hills Accelerated degree program available to working adults at new Burnsville campus by Sarah Allen SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The modern adult is increasingly an employee by day and student by night. Although it sounds like an underwhelming superhero slogan, many working adults are facing continuing education as a serious life decision. Inver Hills Community College is providing a solution to busy prospective students at their new Burnsville campus. This fall, Inver Hills will be offering an accelerated degree program at its new location a mile west of Interstate 35W on County Road 42. With flexible night classes and reduced classroom hours, the Adult Success through Accelerated Programs is a fit for people with busy schedules. Many Burnsville area adults who wish to take a class or two in between working hours have driving to Normandale Community College in Bloomington or Inver Hills in Inver Grove Heights. “Higher education has historically been inconvenient for those living in the Burnsville community and nearby Scott County,” said Inver Hills President Tim Wynes in a recent press release, “but this new Burnsville campus will allow for folks in those areas to work on their college degree in their own neighborhood.”

Angela Fairchild is a full-time employee and student living in Burnsville. After working in retail since her high school graduation in 2006, she decided to achieve a college education as a working adult. She chose Dakota County Technical College in Rosemount to further her education for a better paying job. “It was inconvenient going to classes early in the morning in Rosemount,” said Fairchild. “I had to schedule work around school.” Although she graduated this past May with an associate’s degree in business management, Fairchild wishes she could have taken advantage of the new Inver Hills location. “It would have been so much more convenient,” Fairchild said. Other higher education options in Dakota County include Rasmussen College in Eagan, Partners in Higher Education in Apple Valley, the Minnesota School of Business in Lakeville among others. While there are options, it’s all about finding the right fit. Fairchild is not alone in her ambitious endeavors. Increasing numbers of working adults are returning to school either full time or part time. According to the 200708 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study

Bonds passed to repair Akin Park Estates streets by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

During a public hearing for a five-year comprehensive capital improvement plan, the Farmington City Council authorized a bond presale of approximately $1,515,000 on Tuesday for a group of road construction projects. The first project is to repair the roads in Akin Park Estates in 2014. “It’s basically a semi reconstruction,” Farmington City Administrator Dave McKnight said. “We’re not replacing the utilities, we are replacing the road portion. If you’ve been through those neighborhoods, they’re in desperate need of replacement.” If there are remaining funds, the city would use them to repair Ninth, Hickory and Euclid streets.

The bonds are on a six-year repayment plan. McKnight said there will be open houses scheduled by the end of 2013 to discuss the construction plans. “I want to give them plenty of warning,” McKnight said. The city also has future plans to reconstruct 195th Street by widening the lanes, adding turn lanes and adding potential roundabouts at Pilot Knob in 2015. “It’s a much needed safety improvement,” McKnight said. “It’s a county project, but we have some financial responsibilities.” The city will bond for the project once it finds out its portion of the project from the county in about a year.

conducted by the U.S. Department of Education, about one-quarter of full-time students work full time and over 60 percent of part-time students work full time. Located inside the newly built Minnesota WorkForce Center, Inver Hills’ ASAP offers working adults a chance at expanding their careers on their own terms. At two classes per semester, held once a week, students are able to graduate within eight weeks. Class times run from 6 to 9 p.m. and are applicable toward an associate’s degree or transferable to four-year institutions. This year’s fall semester will offer night classes including Introduction to Art; Environmental Science; Hispanic Cultures and Civilization; Educational Planning and Assessment; Business Math; Public Speaking; Principles of Macroeconomics; Social Inequalities: Race, Class & Gender; Exploring Biology; Beginning Class Guitar; Introduction to Political Science and numerous online classes. Prospective students can get a first look at the program and new campus Aug. 13 when information sessions will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Email Sarah Allen dc.intern@ecm-inc.com.

MIDWAY, from 1A “You would be hardpressed to make a profit at the county fair,” Vought said. “There’s a demolition derby with like a $10,000 purse, but people put in $8,000 motors. But the longer the motor runs, the better you do.” Vought said he competes for the thrill. “It’s a pure adrenaline rush,” he said. “There’s no fear once you get out there.” The demolition derbies that start at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday along with a 1 p.m. show Sunday at the Dakota County Fair are traditionally the most popular events. The derbies will feature about 150 vehicles from mighty minis, compact cars, midsize cars, full-size cars, stock trucks to weld-up trucks. There’s even a lawn mower demolition derby and a women-only powder puff event. The demolition derbies used to last five days, but it’s now down to three. “We’ve always had good numbers,” fair director Chris Wright said. “The weekend is always LEVY, from 1A state aid, which has failed to meet inflation.

The 2013 Legislature approved additional funding for education for the current biennium, but when factoring inflation, the general education formula allowance has fallen by $332 per pupil over the past 10 years. Without a levy referendum, the district could face deeper cuts totaling $9.5 million in 2014-15 and $23.5 million in 201516. “It’s not to scare anyone,” Board Member Joel Albright said. “We just want to be transparent.” District 196 could likely avoid any cuts by pursu-

sold out.” The trouble is finding enough cars to crash. “It’s a trend nationally that derbies are fading,” Wright said. “A couple years ago, that ‘Cash for Clunkers’ got a rid of a lot of the derby cars. There’s just not the availability for those cars in the past.” During the summer of 2009, the intention of the Car Allowance Rebate System was to boost the economy and retire less fuel-efficient vehicles through economic incentives. It took approximately 700,000 used vehicles off the road, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. Vought agrees there’s a lack of proper derby cars on the market, but he also said “a lot of it too is that other shows pay more money. The reason people (drive) in these events is different for everybody. I just don’t have the time to go around anymore, but I’m loyal to Farmington.” Drivers pay $40 for the right to participate the derby, which includes two gate tickets, pit passes and parking passes. There’s an inspection before the cars enter

the arena with plenty of rules. If you roll over, or catch on fire, you’re allowed to stay in the arena, but a second fire or roll over and you’re out. Once the motor goes, so does a chance of winning. There’s a strict no alcohol rule, and no one under the age of 16 is allowed to drive or be near the pit. Vought admits it can be a bit dangerous. His wife, Jessie, tore shoulder ligaments during a compact car division bout years ago. “It’s just one of those things that happen,” Vought said. “I’ve never been hurt. It wasn’t a fluke thing, but it’s not that common either.” But even after the motors kill, the die-hard derby drivers will be back next year. “I grew up watching my uncles out there,” Vought said. “I say every year I’m going to stop, but my kids tell me I can’t. I still have a lot of friends who do it. It’s a friendly competition out there.”

ing a $16 million increase in the levy – the state maximum – but a recent residential survey showed strong opposition to such an increase. The same survey indicates residents would be more willing to pass a $10 million increase. Of the 400 randomly selected households within District 196, 58 percent indicated a willingness to pay up to $24 more per month ($288 annually) in taxes for a new levy referendum. The district faced a series of budget adjustments between 2009 and 2012 totaling $34 million. These adjustments came as fee increases, program and transportation reductions and 193 cut staffing positions, most of which were teaching positions. The district also imposed a two-year salary freeze for nearly all employees in 2010. “We’ve done everything we could to prevent a levy

increase,” Superintendent Jane Berenz said. “Taxes have gone down in the last four years.” District 196 spends less per pupil on administration and transportation and more on instruction than the average for the state, metro and 10 largest districts, according to the Minnesota Department of Education. The district spent $81 per pupil less than the average of the 48 metro-area school districts, according to the report. It spent nearly $500 more per pupil on regular instruction than the state and metro averages. District officials intend to provide additional information about potential budget cuts at the Aug. 19 School Board meeting as well as on the district’s website.

AUGUST EXCEPTIONAL OFFERS 2013 SRX $389/mth*

New mothers and their babies meet to share advice each week at Mama Cafe, BabyLove’s support group for nursing moms. (Photo by Kristina Ericksen)

BabyLove offers birthing insight Eagan mothers support expecting parents with new business by Kristina Ericksen SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

BabyLove, Eagan’s independent childbirth education center, was founded in 2011 by Veronica Jacobsen and Brittany Kubricky, to give expecting parents a new outlet. The two mothers and Lamaze-certified childbirth educators once taught hospital childbirth education classes, but felt it was important for information to be accessible outside of hospitals. With BabyLove, the two have been able to continue providing accessible and affordable information to parents in small class settings. “We don’t believe in catering to upper income families,” Jacobsen said. “We want to be accessible to everyone. Education should not be a luxury, it should be a necessity.” Recognizing the need for childbirth resources in the metro area, Jacobsen and Kubricky settled in Eagan and opened their doors to people of all backgrounds, ages, and occupations. Parents come from all over, and from as far away as Winona and Rochester. Not just women are expected to attend. Fathers, partners, sisters, and other family members are welcome at BabyLove. Shikha Goodwin of Apple Valley discovered Baby-

Love during her second trimester while looking for a Lamaze class. “Veronica and Jennifer were very nice when we talked on the phone. I knew it was the place for me,” Goodwin said. Goodwin and her husband attended the Lamaze class, to which she accredits the success of her natural birth free of any drugs or medical intervention. Goodwin gave birth to her first child, a girl, four months ago and continues to attend BabyLove’s weekly dance class for pregnant and postpartum mothers, as well as Mama Cafe, a get-together for nursing mothers. “BabyLove was the best thing to happen during my pregnancy,” Goodwin said. “Everyone is so friendly. It’s the most amazing thing.” BabyLove offers an array of classes, including childbirth education, breastfeeding, baby care, prenatal and postpartum fitness, as well as birth doula services for physical and emotional support during labor. Unlike most in-hospital classes, BabyLove’s small-sized classes also have an added social aspect, with time built in for questions and discussion. “Becoming new parents can be an isolating experience,” Jacobsen said. “But we’re seeing friendships form here.”

Goodwin, who moved here from India, does not have family close by. However, with the connections she’s made in Mama Cafe and other classes, she now feels BabyLove is “like family.” In addition to its classes and services, BabyLove recently published an online eBook, “A Guide to Twin Cities Birth Place Options.” The 47-page book examines local hospitals and other various free-standing birth centers in the area. “Parents don’t typically put much thought into their birthing options. They usually just choose whatever hospital is closest,” Jabobsen said. “This eBook is a great tool to get parents thinking.” Jacobsen advises parents to first read the eBook early on in their pregnancy and then start attending classes. The eBook covers differences between various hospitals that many parents aren’t aware of. “Most people think that a hospital is a hospital, that they’re all the same,” Jacobsen said. “But they’re not.” Differences between hospitals and other free-standing birth centers vary from size, waterbirth availability, personal shower facilities, Caesarian rates, types of care, and other informa-

Sports Notebook: Time for prep sports Coach-supervised practices begin Monday by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

as head volleyball coach at Burnsville. Andrew Michelson is the girls swimming coach at Eagan, replacing Steve Van Dyne, who stepped down to watch his own children compete. Rob Carpentier left as Farmington’s head girls soccer coach to become activities director at Park Center High School, leaving former assistant coach Tracie Randall in charge of a Tigers program that appears to be on the rise. Farmington High School is in the middle of some other major athletic changes. The school has interim athletic directors following Jon Summer’s recent departure for Chaska High School. Farmington also is preparing for a move to the South Suburban Conference after the Missota Conference dissolves at the end of the 2013-14 school year. By this time next year, Farmington and Shakopee will be new members of the South Suburban, replacing Bloomington Kennedy and Bloomington Jefferson, which are leaving for the new Metro West Conference. Some tennis teams will begin competition by the end of next week. Football opens Aug. 29 with Lakeville South playing at Lakeville North, Eastview going to Burnsville and Bloomington Kennedy playing Bloomington Jefferson in South Suburban games. In nonconference games, Apple Valley travels to Hopkins and Wayzata comes to Rosemount. Eagan goes to Prior Lake for a South Suburban football game Aug. 30.

Buckle up. The fall high school sports season is just days from beginning in earnest, with coach-supervised practices starting Monday. And when it starts, there will be plenty of intrigue. Among the key questions: Can Lakeville North, Rosemount and Eastview build on the success that took their football teams to the Metrodome for the state playoffs last year? Will Lakeville North win a second consecutive state volleyball championship for Walt Weaver, who describes himself as an interim coach? What are Eastview’s chances of reaching the state boys soccer championship game for the third consecutive year (and winning it for the second straight year)? Will Burnsville return to the elite in girls soccer after an injury-riddled 2012 season? Can Eagan or Lakeville South break through and win the Class AA girls cross country championship? Who will be the last high school soccer and football teams to play in the Metrodome, which is scheduled to be torn down beginning in 2014? Several new coaches will be in place this fall. Former assistant coach Chad Clendening takes over as head coach of Apple Valley football. He’s one of two new head football coaches in the South Suburban Conference (the other is Jon Anderson at Bloomington Kennedy). Longtime Lakeville youth and high school volleyball coach Steve Willingham is head Football shakeup? coach at Lakeville South. The Minnesota State Kari Raymond takes over High School League

board of directors on Tuesday listened to a proposal that would radically alter how regular-season high school football operates. The plan would eliminate conference affiliations for football only in favor of groups of 14 to 16 schools, based on geography. Teams would schedule games against other schools from within their own clusters, based on enrollment and existing rivalries. Not every state uses the If approved, the plan would take effect in the 2015 season. Schools will be allowed to have input this fall, with action possible by January 2014.

New BV girls hockey coach Tracy Cassano is returning to South Suburban Conference girls hockey after being named Burnsville’s head coach on Tuesday. Cassano, a Farmington resident, led Rosemount to the state Class AA tournament in 2011. The last two years she was head coach of the Chaska/Chanhassen cooperative team, which had a 30-21-3 record in her time there. Cassano, a member of the University of Minnesota’s 2000 national championship team, will be the third head girls hockey coach in three years at Burnsville. Longtime Burnsville coach Bruce Anderson retired after the 2011-12 season. He was replaced by Garnet Asmundson, who coached the Blaze to a 1410-2 record in 2012-13.

Eastview’s run ends with loss to Burnsville Legion team 3-2 at state tournament by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Eastview’s seventh consecutive trip to the state American Legion baseball tournament ended with a loss to a familiar opponent. The Thunder went 3-2 in the tournament last weekend. Eastview’s run ended with a 12-9 loss Sunday to Burnsville – a team against which it had split two regular-season games. Burnsville went on to finish second to Eden Prairie, and both teams are in Fargo, N.D., this week for the Central Plains Regional. Eastview (28-9) held a 7-2 lead after four innings against Burnsville at Braemar Field in Edina. But the Cobras scored six runs in the top of the fifth and went on to a 12-9 victory. Every starting position player for Eastview had at least one hit in the Burnsville game, and third baseman Patrick Strey was 3-for-6 with one run and one RBI. Shortstop Derek Schiebel had three hits (including two doubles) and two RBI. Cole McDevitt singled in two runs in the Thunder’s five-run third inning. Cameron Hall doubled twice. In the Thunder’s previous game at state, Kevin Wobschall, Jacob Bechstein and Ben Voss combined to pitch a seveninning no-hitter in a 12-0 victory over the St. Cloud Chutes. Bechstein, who pitched the fourth and fifth innings, got credit for the victory. The Thunder scored five runs in the first inning against St. Cloud and its lead was never threatened. Strey, Hall and Rhett Hebig each had three hits. Hebig scored three times

Grant Martinson pitches for Eastview against Chester Bird in the first round of the state American Legion baseball tournament. (Photo by Rick Orndorf) while Hall drove in three runs. Strey and McDevitt had two RBI each. Six games at state went into extra innings, and Eastview was involved in the tournament’s longest game. The Thunder scored four runs in the 13th inning in its 13-9 first-round victory over Chester Bird of Golden Valley on Aug. 2. Chester Bird, trailing 7-3 in the bottom of the eighth, scored six runs to take the lead. Eastview scored twice in the top of the ninth to force the game into extra innings. Wobschall had an RBI single in the ninth. Josh Chatfield drew a bases-loaded walk to tie the game. Schiebel’s RBI single in the 13th broke the tie. Hebig was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, scoring another run, and McDevitt singled in

the last two. Strey held Chester Bird to one hit over the final five innings to earn the victory. Ideally, the Thunder would have preferred to start Strey on the mound against Forest Lake in its second game Aug. 2, but he was unavailable after working five innings in the opener. Forest Lake jumped to a 7-1 lead after four innings and went on to beat Eastview 9-1. Hebig drove in the Thunder’s only run, while Schiebel and Ryan Heisler had two hits each. Eastview edged Mahtomedi 6-5 in 11 innings in an elimination game Aug. 3. Joe Schlosser’s double in the 11th drove in Hall with the winning run. Strey had three hits and scored twice. Hall had two hits and three runs. Schiebel also had two hits, and Heisler drove in two

runs. Heisler worked the first 8 2/3 innings on the mound against Mahtomedi, with Strey pitching the final 2 1/3 and getting the victory. Schiebel batted .500 (12-for-24) in the state tournament with two doubles, a triple and five RBI. Hall led the Thunder with seven RBI and six of his eight hits were for extra bases. McDevitt drove in six runs during the tournament. Strey led the pitchers with a 1.80 ERA in 10 innings spread over three relief appearances. Eastview was trying to advance to American Legion regional play for the first time since 2008, when it won the state championship.

Several players from Dakota County represented the Northern Section in the U.S. Tennis Association 12 Zone Team Championships last month in Omaha, Neb. School District 196 residents Eesha Varma, Karin Young, Gavin Young, Maxim Zagrebelny, Lauren Ferg and Aashish Bharath, along with Lakeville resident Hunter Roseth, competed in the tournament. They made up more than 25

percent of the team from the Northern Section, which includes Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and western Wisconsin. Each local player had at least one victory in the zonal tourney. Zagrebelny was 4-5 at the No. 1 singles spot. Roseth was 6-3 at No. 2. Gavin Young was 7-2 at the No. 3 spot and earned the sportsmanship award for the Northern Section.

Sports Briefs Lakefront Days triathlon Zach Tollefson of Rosemount finished 11th overall and first in the 19-and-under age group at the Lakefront Days triathlon Aug. 3 in Prior Lake. Tollefson, a June 2013 graduate of Eastview High School, finished in 1 hour, 12 minutes, 56 seconds. The triathlon consisted of a one-quarter mile swim, 14-mile bike ride and 3.3-mile run.

tween each tracks,” Allison said. As a dancer at Heartbeat Studios in Apple Valley, Allison always wanted to be a choreographer. But after sitting in the seat of Vic’s 196-foot, 165-ton crane, she may consider other options. “Maybe the thing I thought I would do, I might not do. I might try something different,” Allison said. Linda Foster, DCTC’s director of instructional technology, loves to see students get excited about a different kind of future. “We want to give them an opportunity to see nontraditional careers that they haven’t been exposed to,” Foster said. “The workshops are 100 percent hands-on. They are getting dirty using tools in the labs. There’s no PowerPoint to put them asleep.” During each day throughout the week attendees experienced different workshops in areas such as construction technology, automotive technology, health, engineering and robotics. In its third year, the event has become so popular that all 175 seats filled within two weeks. Anna Schmidt, a sixthgrade homeschooler from Burnsville, loved the auDEBT, from 1A “It takes a lot of people and a lot of hard work, but it’s phenomenal to see this grassroots effort grow and see a community come together.” Council Member Christy Jo Fogarty recognized the efforts of the committee. “When it gets down to crunch time there are people putting full-time job

tomotive workshop while checking car parts, testing horns and learning how to spray paint the vehicles. After Monday’s workshops, she thinks that girls can do “guy stuff.” “While we were in there, (the instructor) said that girls are more detailed than men, so it makes it easier,” Anna said. Although Anna loves to dance and bake, she does not see herself as restricted to those activities. “I wouldn’t consider myself a girly-girl, and I wouldn’t consider myself a tomboy. I’m just a girl,” she said. TXT draws back returning students, including sixth-grader Rhubee Affeldt, who says this is her favorite camp. “You get to experience more things than you do at other camps,” Rhubee said. TXT’s mounting success has caught the eye of numerous local dignitaries. Monday’s workshops drew in officials including Minnesota Office of Higher Education Commissioner Larry Pogemiller, state Rep. Anna Wills, local mayors, School District 196 and 194 officials and Minnesota Department of Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius. This year was Cassel-

lius’ second visit. The program reeled her in as an enhancement to the Minnesota Department of Education’s plan to redesign the transition for Minnesota’s secondary education students into post-secondary education. “It shows a pathway forward to many students who would be interested in that degree. This shows them how to get there,” Cassellius said after her tour of TXT on Monday. “There are real jobs out there right now available to anyone, girls or boys. It’s great to give kids these opportunities.” While many students, especially females, have steered toward four-year degrees in areas such as the liberal arts, Cassellius sees the event as a way to connect them to secondary education in more high-demand fields. “College is something different now,” she said. “Before we just thought of college as a liberal arts degree, now (students) can land a great job and they can land a certificate in a specialized field.” Jobs such as crane operators are in high need and command high wages. Attending officials had their turn at operating back hoes, checking under cars and watching the girls in action. Cassellius enjoyed TXT

type hours in that month of June,” she said. Council Member Terry Donnelly admitted voting for the loan wasn’t easy, and he’s happy to see the way it turned out. “Not everybody agreed,” he said. “I felt deep down inside it was the right thing to do. It’s always good to see it come to fruition and have a happy ending. It isn’t always the case, but Farmington

is a better place for it.”

Meet Torino, an adorable little 4-month-old female tortoiseshell! Do you like calicos? Did you know tortoiseshells are calicos minus the white as the 3rd color? Did you know both calicos and tortoiseshells are always female? Do you like lap buddies? Then this kitty is for you! Torino has a unique and adorable gold streak down her face, a good purr motor, and a love for cuddling. Her foster Mom is unable to attend adoption events due to her job so this gem has gone undetected. Torino was born in her foster home where her foster family loves up their foster kitties really, really well so they are accustomed to being handled and cuddled. Torinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fee is $100. Come meet her in her Lakeville foster home by contacting Teri at 651755-2966 or tahneroo@hotmail.com. She is great with kids, other cats, litter box, and scratching post perfect. To see more dogs and cats available for adoption please visit our website at www.last-hope.org or come to one of our pet adoption events Saturdays from 11-3 at the Apple Valley Petco, Burnsville Petco, or Eagan Petsmart.

The annual Summer Spectacular car show, craft fair and swap meet will be Jeff Kuelbs, left, was joined last year 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, by friend Sonny West, who was Elvis’s Aug. 24, at the Dakota bodyguard, on a visit to Graceland in County Fairgrounds, 4008 220th St. W., Farmington. Memphis, Tenn. (Photo submitted) The event will include bluegrass bands, “fair Elvis tribute artist style” food vendors and Jeff Kuelbs to perform at more.

Whole lotta shakin’ in Lakeville by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Jeff Kuelbs traces the origin of his Elvis routine to the day he got choke-slammed by pro wrestler Mitch Paradise. Kuelbs, of Lakeville, was taking part in a charity wrestling show in Hopkins at the urging of his friend and famed pro wrestler Sheik Adnan Al-Kaissey, who was organizing the event. “The Sheik needed a ‘good guy’ for the show and he asked me if I’d dye my hair and put on a jumpsuit to be Elvis,” recounted Kuelbs. “My opponent was Mitch Paradise – he chokeslammed me to the mat, then all the good guys came running out of the back and I kind of slid out of the ring.” It wasn’t long after his pro wrestling bout

that Kuelbs created “Elvis Flashback,” an Elvis Presley tribute act in which he covers classic songs from the King’s catalog such as “Jailhouse Rock,” “Burning Love” and “Suspicious Minds.” Kuelbs has delivered his Elvis routine at venues throughout the Twin Cities, including gigs at the now-defunct Hard Rock Cafe in Minneapolis as well as at various bars and private parties. He’ll be presenting his Elvis Flashback show in Lakeville Aug. 16-17 at Casa Bistro restaurant, 20198 Heritage Drive. The shows were booked to coincide with the anniversary of Elvis’s death (Aug. 16, 1977). While he considers Elvis Flashback a sideline to his day job – he works at Twin Cities HarleyDavidson – Kuelbs has

embraced the Elvis role. He’s the proud owner of about 25 different Elvis outfits; he’s also struck up a friendship with Sonny West, who was Elvis’s bodyguard. Kuelbs met West, the author of “Elvis: Still Taking Care of Business,” at a book signing several years ago, and the two hit it off. West joined Kuelbs last year on a visit to Graceland, Elvis’s home in Memphis, Tenn., and the friends keep in touch by phone a few times a week. Reservations for the Elvis Flashback concerts at Casa Bistro can be made by contacting the restaurant at 952-4693330. More about Kuelbs’s Elvis show is at www.elvisflashback.com.

Thisweekend Ramble Jam brings country to city In third year, Rotary Club fundraiser continues to grow by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The 2013 version of Ramble Jam, a two-day country music festival on the Dakota County Fairgrounds in Farmington Sept. 20-21, figures to be the biggest one yet. The event has grown from a one-day festival, to a two-day showcase with several national acts this year. This is the third Ramble Jam and fifth year the Rotary Club of Farmington has had a music fundraiser. Since it started, the festival has moved out of the barns at the fairgrounds to “one big party in the southwest corner of the fairgrounds,” said Anika Rychner, member of the Rotary Club of Farmington and co-chair for the Ramble Jam committee. The club is anticipating about 3,000 people each day of the festival. Jerrod Niemann is the headliner on Friday. His first album produced a No. 1 U.S. Country single with “Lover, Lover” and “What Do You Want,” which rose to No. 4 on the country chart. His second release featured hits with “Shinin’ on Me” and the ballad “Only

Rodney Atkins will be the featured Saturday night act during Ramble Jam 2013. (Photo by Philip Wages) God Could Love You More.” Rodney Atkins headlines Saturday’s festivities. He has hit the top of the country charts with six No. 1 singles from “Watching You,” “These Are My People,” “Farmer’s Daughter,” and “Take A Back Road.” Brett Eldredge, Maggie Rose, Parmalee, Frankie Ballard and Chris Janson will also grace the stage at the fairgrounds along with a mix of local favorites. Returning to the lineup for the third year are Minnesota-based Lost Highway and Rocket Club. Twin Cities artists Hitchville and the Devon Worley Band are also

making their second appearances at the event along with fellow Minnesotans Hell Country Truckers, Two Hicks and a Chick and Greene and Hurst. “Fans love to see the local artists almost as much as they like to see the national ones,” Rychner said. Several Ramble Jam attendees are also planning on camping, although it’s just about sold out. “It’s become its own separate party,” Rychner said. “People from Iowa, South Dakota and Wisconsin come out with their RVs and decorate their campsite. That part has really become a lot of fun.” It’s the Rotary Club of

Farmington’s main fundraiser of the year. With 23 volunteer members of the club with full-time jobs, it’s been a lot of work. “Everybody is involved,” Rychner said. “Each Rotarian takes a piece. The whole thing has been an enormous undertaking. We’re fortunate to have such wonderful people in the community.” The club raises money for both community and international projects. The goal for Ramble Jam is to turn the profits back into the community. The club supports high school scholarships for Farmington High School students, runs a STRIVE mentoring program, holds a luncheon for senior citizens, provides scholarships for park and recreation events, and donates to 360 Communities

along with several other causes. If Ramble Jam continues to grow, Rychner can see the event becoming an early-autumn staple in the local country music festival circuit. “The capacity is 10,000 so there’s room to grow,” Rychner said. “We’re taking little steps at a time. … The big festivals like WE Fest and Winstock started small.” The club still needs volunteers to work the event, including ticket takers, bartenders and security members among other duties. There are incentives such as free admission for volunteers. Tickets for one-day ($20 for Friday; $30 for Saturday) and two days ($40) can be purchased in advance. For $99 attendees can

purchase VIP passes, which include access to a standing-room only area right in front of the stage and discounts on drinks. Although there are no promises, in the past artists have been known to mingle in the VIP area. Prices increase on Aug. 19. There’s also a contest running on radio station K102, which is a sponsor, for meet-and-greet opportunities. The club hopes to also raise money by selling raffle tickets for trips to Mexico and Nashville along with Minnesota Twins tickets and a signed guitar. The drawing is at 9 p.m. Saturday.
