Dakota County seniors are in a pickle … and loving it. Pickleball courts and leagues have been sprouting out throughout the area and made its debut in Farmington last winter. Seniors gathered at the Grand Hall Studio in Farmington where caretaker and manager Amy Nielsen organized bi-weekly pickleball games. In October, Nielsen plans to start the social sport back up and seniors can’t wait. “I like it because it’s such good exercise, and I like to have fun with other people,” said Farming-

ton resident Ruth Jones. Pickleball combines aspects of tennis, pingpong and badminton. Nielsen first heard about the sport from her dad, Bob, who lives in Florida. She was already offering senior fitness classes at the Grand Hall Studio and thought pickleball would be a welcome addition. She contacted the United States Pickleball Association and secured a grant to purchase two nets. Then a company donated the paddles and balls, and she was in business.

Good enough to eat, but not a bite to be had Delectable Designs gift shop combines art and food in Farmington by Jennifer Chick SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A new gift shop in Farmington will satisfy any sweet tooth, but customers don’t need to worry about gaining even an ounce. Delectable Designs at 431 Third St., No. 4, is a gift shop selling greeting cards, giftware and art works related to food, cooking and dining. “Everything is related to food, cooking and dining except there is no actual food here,” owner Karen Ogden said. “I love everything related to food, and I was a personal chef for awhile, but I didn’t want to go back to cooking for a career.” After rebounding from a second career as a personal chef back into corporate America, Ogden found herself want-

ing more. She decided to turn her efforts back toward the culinary world. At first she contemplated starting a food truck business, but she wanted more interaction with customers so she headed in an artistic direction. “Food is really my passion, and I asked, ‘How could I get back into that industry?’ ” she said. Ogden wanted to create a tangible item that she could sell so she decided to combine two of her creative outlets: letter writing and photography. She chose to use her food photography skills to create foodrelated greeting cards, a niche market she found to be underserved. Then she took her idea one step further to conceptualize Delectable Designs. She wanted

to open the gift shop in Farmington, a town where she has lived for the last eight years. She works with 16 other craftspeople to create a gift shop filled with delectable treats, though none are for the eating. “I think the more varieties of goods in the store, that is what is going to keep people interested,” Ogden said. She wanted to sell pieces that would leave an impression long after the last piece of pie was gone. She visited art guilds, fairs, and festivals, handing out “Artist Wanted” cards. Currently, she has 16 craftspeople lined up to sell in her shop, with the potential for several more as she visits with local artists. Theresa Hoaglund, of Mantorville, is one

of those artists. Delectable Designs features several of her furniture pieces, and she visited the shop’s grand opening last Thursday. “I was intrigued by her concept of having a gallery slash art shop that was all about food,” Hoaglund said. “What I love about this is promoting the arts everywhere. It (the sign) doesn’t say gallery and art, but when you walk in the door, it will.” Ogden and others in Farmington are hoping her shop is another incentive to attract destination shoppers. “It’s another big opportunity for Farmington,” said Lee Smick, Farmington’s city planner and economic development manager. “We are starting to get this niche of specialty shops:

Vintage Marketplace, Market on Oak, and now this beautiful shop. It’s a huge opportunity for people to shop the streets of Farmington and stay pretty much here. I think they are putting Farmington on the map.” Delectable Designs is housed in a building that was at one time, decades ago, the Ford dealership. Molly and Steve Aaron bought the building last December and completely remodeled it, inside and out, splitting the building into four office spaces. “My husband and I are into taking vacant properties and making them into something,” Molly Aaron said. “I think she’s done a great job. It’s beautiful, and it’s been really fun to see her get it ready.” Delectable Designs is

open Thursdays, noon to 7 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. After Thanksgiving, Ogden plans to be open on Sundays as well, hours tentatively set for 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. “I think Christmas is going to be crazy,” Ogden said. Delectable Designs website, www.delectabledesigns.com, will be going live in two weeks and will provide another place where consumers can buy much of what is available in the store. With her shop open for a little more than a month, Ogden is encouraged by the response so far. “People love it,” she said. “They know these items are one of a kind.”

Coat drive makes local nonprofits more effective Collection runs through Oct. 11 by Jonathan Young SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Charities that partner with Pilgrim Cleaners’ Coats for Kids drive say it would be difficult to meet the need for winter coats without the program. Since 1986, the dry cleaning company with locations in Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan and Lakeville has collected and donated new and gently used winter coats for children in need. It cleans the coats before delivering them to eight nonprofits in the area for distribution. Last year the St. Louis Park Emergency Program, also known as

STEP, gave out about 1,000 coats to those in need, according to Allison Johnson, a social worker with the organization. “We definitely wouldn’t have nearly that number without that partnership,” Johnson said. The more coats are available, the more lives STEP and other charities can touch. Johnson finds it rewarding to watch the children come pick out coats and accessories. “Last year, one child was super-excited to get Spider-Man gloves,” she said. “There was another little girl that found a hat and scarf that matched her jacket … and she was pretty thrilled.” The Community

Emergency Assistance Program is another charity that distributes coats from the drive. According to CEAP Family Services Supervisor Patrick Morley, the organization gives away the coats through its clothing closet, which is seeing an increasing need among immigrants who perhaps have never needed a winter coat before. “Unfortunately, there is no shortage of demand,” he said. “These are critical … services, and so community partnerships are essential. ... I would defy any Minnesotan to say that a winter coat in the last week of January, first week of February is not a basic need.” Morley said CEAP doesn’t put all the coats

out at once. It tries to make a steady stream of coats available, because there’s typically a spike in demand when the coldest weather comes in January or February. He said stretching the time period of distribution is possible because of the large number of coats CEAP gets from Pilgrim. Last year, Morley said, CEAP received about 2,000 coats and “gave every last single one of them away.” “The demand is big, but the response (to the need) is big,” he said. Bonnie Engler, president of Pilgrim Cleaners, said it’s been that way since her father started the program 27 years ago. Since then, Pilgrim has collected and cleaned more than 385,000 coats. “People are very gen-

erous,” Engler said. “It’s wonderful to see.” She said working with existing charities ensures the coats get to those who need them. “They’re very well established charities, and every year (they’re) so thankful for every coat that we give them,” she said. “They’re very recognizable (organizations) and have very good reputations out in the community.” This year’s goal is collecting 10,000 coats, and the collection drive runs through Friday, Oct. 11. ECM-Sun Newspapers, WCCO Radio, KARE 11 and Subway are sponsors. Anyone who wants to donate a gently used coat can take it to any of the 25 Pilgrim Cleaners loca-

tions. The program accepts coats for children and adults. Go online to find a location. Community members can also send monetary gifts to the Coats for Kids fund, c/o Pilgrim Cleaners, 3217 85th Ave. N., Brooklyn Park, MN 55443. All donations will go toward purchasing new children’s coats. Schools are encouraged to organize their own coat drives. The school that collects the most will win a Subway Party and a plaque for the school. For more information, go online to pilgrimdrycleaners.com/community/ coats-for-kids.

Caught poaching? Your gun could be confiscated DNR auction for hunting, fishing equipment is Sept. 28 bait must be completely removed 10 days prior to hunting, Smith said. While many pinches for illegal baiting come as the result of tips from hunters hunting nearby lands, hunting party members have occasionally turned in members of their own party for illegal baiting, he said. Losing out on the chance for a big buck as the result of illegal hunting really irks some hunters, Smith said. Amateur sleuths, inspecting the upscale brand names of some of confiscated guns, might think the former owners were wealthy. But Smith said that would be a false conclusion. Some people simply must have the most up-to-date, expensive firearms available, regardless of their pocketbook. You can find others, wealthy people, carrying the beatup, old guns their grandfathers gave them, Smith said. Regarding hunters sim-

ply making mistakes in the field — mistakenly shooting a doe, thinking it was a buck, for instance — Smith said sports people do sometimes turn themselves in. “If you make a mistake, call and let us know,” he said. Generally, when people step forward and admit a mistake, things go better for them, Smith said. But genuine poachers have no intention of turning themselves in. Turn in Poachers, or TIP, is a private group dedicated to stopping poaching. People can report suspected poaching by calling the statewide, toll-free TIP line at 800-652-9093.

People can keep their memories but perhaps not their equipment if caught poaching. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is holding a public auction of confiscated hunting and fishing equipment on Sept. 28 at Hiller Auction Barn in Zimmerman. More than 200 guns — top-of-the-line brands like Benelli, Beretta and Weatherby — are going on the block. About a dozen muzzle loaders are included in the mix. Along with the guns, about 40 bows, including a handful of crossbows, will go to the highest bidders beginning at 10 a.m. Other confiscated items on auction include deer antlers, an all-terrain vehicle, a personal watercraft, snowmobiles and a boat-motortrailer combination. Tree stands, traps, fishing rods

and reels, trail cameras, spotlights and other gear will be sold. Auction proceeds will be deposited in the state Game and Fish Fund. Proceeds from the sale of vehicles confiscated in DWI arrests are deposited into a DWI forfeiture account. Background checks are made on gun buyers. Hiller Auction Barn is a federally licensed gun dealer. The auction service is 2 miles east of the Highway 169 and the County Road 4 intersection in Zimmerman. A list of DNR-confiscated auction items is on the Hiller website at www. hillerauction.com. Acquiring inventory Most of the confiscated firearms came into DNR possession as a result of deer baiting violations, DNR Assistant Director of Enforcement Rodmen Smith said. In Minnesota, hunting deer with bait is illegal. All

Opinion Potential progress, problems with more early childhood funding by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

National Education Association President Dennis Van Roekel’s recent visit to Bloomington highlighted the potential of more funding for early childhood education. Perhaps unexpectedly, the visit also highlighted possible problems. Led by Hillcrest Community School fifth-graders Sara Grosser and Gregory Pedenko, Van Roekel, Education Minnesota president Denise Specht and Bloomington Federation of Teachers President Wendy Marczak spent about an hour at Hillcrest. Then they met with parents and educators at Olson Middle School. Van Roekel and Specht praised the Minnesota Legislature for providing more than $100 million in additional funds for all-day, every-day kindergarten, as well as to serve more 3- to 4-yearolds. Van Roekel explained, “The best day to plant a shade tree is 20 years ago. The second best day is today.” He and Specht stressed extensive research supporting high-quality early childhood programs. Hillcrest Principal Paul Schullo was asked if the school had formally stud-

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Joe Nathan ied the impact of their early childhood programs. “Not yet,” he replied, adding, ”We need to.” Both union presidents recommended researching and sharing results with the public and policy makers. Bloomington and other districts with early childhood programs may want to contact the St. Paul Public Schools, which has done formal (and encouraging) studies of their early childhood programs. Districts also might contact University of Minnesota professors Arthur Reynolds and Judy Temple, nationally known authorities in this area. They are widely recognized for careful, unbiased research. (More information is at www.cehd.umn.edu/icd/faculty/reynolds.html.) Recently, I asked Reynolds for his priorities in funding early childhood programs. Before Gov. Mark Dayton’s suggestion to spend more and legisla-

ture agreement, Reynolds, in an email, recommended that: “Public funding for preschool to third grade programs should be a high priority and should take precedence over full-day/every day kindergarten. High quality and accessible preschool/prekindergarten and fullday kindergarten, however, are critical elements of the pk-3 continuity system. The system should be worked on together. ... any weak link in the system during these ages will hinder children’s school progress. The current gap in pre-k access in MN compared to other states in the Midwest is worrisome as is that for full-day K.” The Legislature funded all-day kindergarten. Despite Reynolds’ advice and some increased funding, thousands of youngsters from Minnesota low-income families still don’t have access to high-quality early childhood programs. Teachers raised several issues during the visit that need attention. Rachel Biggs, a Hillcrest reading and math intervention teacher, explained: “We can tell the difference between students who attend district and other early childhood programs. Students who attended district programs often are better prepared.” She believes this is because there’s

good communication between district early childhood and elementary teachers. When there is good communication, early childhood programs help students develop skills and behavior that help elementary students succeed. Anne Roush, a kindergarten through fifth-grade physical education teacher, noted two issues as early childhood and all-day kindergarten expands: finding space for the programs and working out staffing, including preparation time issues. Les Fujitake, Bloomington’s thoughtful and open-minded superintendent, responded and acknowledged these concerns. He explained that the district had a task force working on them. Van Roekel’s visit was designed to highlight early childhood and other issues (which I’ll discuss in future columns) and to generate positive publicity. Visiting schools and listening to teachers, parents and students is a great way to understand both the progress and possible problems that well-intended, research-based changes can produce.

Undo all business-to-business taxes in the Unsession Feb. 25 by David C. Olson SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Gov. Mark Dayton has coined the 2014 Legislature as the Unsession, saying he’ll concentrate on ideas to make state government better, faster and simpler. He’s asking Minnesotans to submit ideas to eliminate unnecessary or redundant laws, rules and regulations, and getting rid of anything else that makes state government nearly impossible for people to understand. We respectfully ask that repeal of the sales tax on business-to-business (B2B) services leads the agenda. Businesses should contact the governor and their lawmakers, and ask them to commit now to eliminating all three B2B taxes in the first week of the Legislature, which will convene Feb. 25. In May, the Legislature extended the sales tax to three B2B services: repairs of business equipment and machines, including farm machinery; purchases of telecommunications equipment by telecommunications providers; warehouse

Guest Columnist

David C. Olson and storage services. The first two taxes went into effect July 1; the warehouse tax is scheduled to take effect April 1, 2014. At minimum, B2B taxes create an administrative nightmare and expense for many businesses. At worst, the additional tax burden places Minnesota businesses at a competitive disadvantage with their peers across the nation and world. That’s especially true in the warehouse and storage industry, which already operates at slim margins and is very mobile by its nature. The additional cost is prompting many warehouse managers to talk about moving elsewhere. Together, these taxes take a toll on jobs and the state’s economy. The Minnesota Chamber of Com-

merce and our statewide network of local chamber partners pressed hard for all three B2B taxes to be repealed during the special session in September. Though the governor expressed support for repealing the sales tax on farm equipment repairs, in the end the decision was made to only consider disaster relief. The decision is especially disappointing because DFL leaders acknowledged the taxes were a bad idea. Dayton says repeal of the new B2B taxes should be considered when the Legislature convenes next year. Businesses cannot make decisions based on a promise of what might be done. We’re asking that legislators pledge now to repeal all three B2B taxes. Eliminating the tax on farm repairs is a good start, but it doesn’t go far enough. The repeal should also occur for the thousands of other businesses negatively impacted by these new fixed costs. Dayton demands that the business community show how the state treasury will make up for the lost revenue, if these taxes are scrapped. We put the challenge

back in his lap. Policy-makers have options. There is a current budget surplus plus there’s plenty of opportunity to find $310 million of spending efficiencies in a $38 billion budget. Early in the 2013 Legislature, we identified more than $1 billion in spending reductions and forwarded those to the Dayton administration and legislative leadership. Let’s revisit those suggestions. The new budget increased spending by $1.6 billion, a sizable portion that has not yet taken effect. There’s similar opportunity to scrutinize and pare these expenses. We’re confident that Minnesotans can step to the plate and help state agencies find ways to streamline operations and still deliver necessary services. We’re ready to answer the governor’s call; it’s an excellent starting point to lay out an agenda for the Unsession. David Olson is president of the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce.

Letters The necessary role of government To the editor: Unlike a recent letter writer, I suggest that government spending is an essential part of our state’s economy and can spur to economic growth. One key economic responsibility of government is to be the economic engine of last resort. One can cherry-pick specific projects where the economic benefit is still out, but who except the government bears the cost of the 35W bridge rebuilding project? The invisible hand of “Mr. Market” cannot be expected to lift all boats. It is the market’s role to pick and choose those endeavors that will provide investors with the best return on equity, regardless of the greatest public need. The government’s necessary role is to appropriately fill those gaps. Some writers fault public financing of so-called “frivolous” items like sports stadiums and light rail. They cite statistics about poor ridership on new bus lines. Advocates

have cited data about millions in business profits for local merchants because of sports investments and hefty ridership data on light rail and express bus lines, which have far exceeded predictions and are growing. In past years, an over-reliance on private car use has helped produce difficult traffic jams with resulting deterioration of both our highway infrastructure and air quality. Climatologists cite additional data showing reduced greenhouse gas emissions where there is greater use of public transit. Climate change discussions aside, who would complain if their commute time as well as their stress level were significantly reduced on daily trips to and from work as a direct result of greater use of multiple mass transit options? A private project? Sorry, no, just not in the cards. Critics of public spending decry it as inherently “wasteful,” without a great sense of personal ownership in it. Others point to models in some industrial countries which seem to have a greater interest in public assets, able to be used in common. They

say some of these assets, like nature itself, are finite, fragile and must be preserved. Responsibility there must be used to shepherd and encourage public investment in common resources. I hope Minnesota can lead in this latter kind of “conservation.” RON COMMINS Eagan

Another disaster is coming To the editor: Disaster relief. That was the topic of a recent and very brief legislative special session. This was needed to ensure federal aid would flow to help the victims of some very real natural disasters in our state. There were some disasters left out, however: some man-made disasters created by the legislators themselves. There was no action on the looming tax increases on warehouses and farm equipment repairs. These will hurt business people and farmers directly and almost certainly cause

price increases on the food and products that every family purchases. Gov. Mark Dayton and the DFL-dominated state Legislature created this disaster with their last-minute tax bill, which some speculate was passed without their understanding of all the details. Where was DFL Sen. Greg Clausen? Changing his initial “no” vote to a “yes” in favor of all the new taxes. There was also no action on reversing the impending unionization of home day care operations. This disaster created by the governor and DFL Legislature could force day care owner-operators to either join a union or pay “fair share” fees, increasing the cost of child care for families. Even the StarTribune, in a May 15, 2013, editorial, said the “(unionization) bill is political payback, not good policy.” With all the new taxes and spending by the governor and DFL Legislature, a disaster that hits close to home is this: our local school leaders are asking for a property tax levy increase. So while the DFL is raising taxes and helping their political allies, the local public schools are still forced to ask tapped-out families for one more tax increase. Disaster. PAT STALEY Rosemount

Knocking on the schoolhouse door To the editor: How many Catholics remember attending catechism in the classrooms after school? I do at my grade school in Illinois. I distinctly remember Father Pesit. A priest who had been in combat as a military chaplain and took no sass or back talk from us students (he broke a pencil over Cliff Beato’s head simply because Cliff was tapping on his desk as the priest spoke.). And today you would be hard pressed to find any school that hosts catechism classes. As a society, we’ve allowed the state to remove most every reference to God from the schools. While the establishment clause was meant to prevent a state established religion, the modern interpretation is to ban all religions by a misinterpretation of that clause in our Constitution’s first amendment. It was never meant to ban religion, it was meant for the federal government to embrace all religions. Allow the Christmas tree, the Menorah etc. etc. Embrace all religions. Don’t ban them. Yet the New York Supreme Court in December 2011 banned all church and religious organizations from renting empty classrooms for non-secu-

lar activities. While this is one approach to avoiding the appearance of establishment of religion, embracing all religions would be the alternative. Someone asked me that since I believe God and Jesus, how God could ever allow something like the Sandy Hook tragedy to take place. I answered I don’t know since God isn’t allowed past the schoolhouse door anymore. Perhaps we should start there. GARY SHADE Apple Valley

Man Sentencing Monday for crash that killed two Lakeville students charged Joshua Decoteau pleaded guilty Sept. 13 by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A Burnsville teenager will be sentenced in juvenile court Monday morning for a 2012 car crash that killed two of his four passengers. Joshua L. Decoteau, 18, pleaded guilty in juvenile court Sept. 13 to two felony counts of criminal vehicular homicide involving gross negligence, one felony count of criminal vehicular operation (involving gross negligence resulting in substantial bodily harm), and one gross misdemeanor count of criminal vehicular operation (involving gross negligence resulting in bodily harm). Decoteau admitted to

intentionally swerving as he drove Buck Hill Road at 96 miles per hour on Aug. 21, 2012, then losing control of his 1992 Toyota Camry, which plunged down a hill and through a fence, flipping multiple times before crashing onto I-35, killing his friends Alesha Roehl, 17, and Fred Alexander, 16. A 16-year-old from Lakeville and a 17-yearold Burnsville boy were also injured in the crash. Roehl of Castle Rock Township and Alexander of Burnsville were students at Lakevilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alternative learning center; Decoteau and two other passengers attended Lakeville South High School and suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

Decoteau was a new driver and had only had the car for about a week before the crash. Because Decoteau was 17 at the time of the incident, the case was filed under Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extended juvenile jurisdiction statute, and both a juvenile and an adult prison sentence will be issued, according to Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom. The juvenile court will retain jurisdiction over the case until Decoteau turns 21, and the adult sentence would only be imposed if he violates terms of the juvenile sentence.

Police standoff ends with arrest in Apple Valley

Bomb threat â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but no bomb â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at Apple Valley Walgreens

A police standoff Friday in Apple Valley ended with the arrest of a man suspected of attempted assault. Police were called to the 12100 block of Geneva Way at about 2:22 p.m. on a report of an attempted stabbing. The victim reported he had been threatened by the suspect with a knife and was â&#x20AC;&#x153;left in fear for his life,â&#x20AC;? police said. The suspect, who lives near the victim on Geneva Way, had reportedly fled the crime scene in a red van, and when police went to his residence they noted a red van in the driveway. Attempts to contact the suspect by phone and through the use of a public address system were unsuccessful. After Apple Valley police requested assistance from the Dakota County Mutual Aid and Assistance Group â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a regional team of police tactical officers and crisis negotiators â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the suspect came out of his residence at about 5:20 p.m. and surrendered without further incident. He was then booked into the Dakota County Jail in Hastings. The suspect was expected to be criminally charged this week by the Dakota County Attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office, police said. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Andrew Miller

Apple Valley police responded to a report of a bomb threat Monday afternoon at the Walgreens store located at 15250 Cedar Ave. No explosive devices were found, police said. As a precautionary measure, the store was evacuated and the immediate area secured following the report of the threat at 12:51 p.m. Police were assisted by the Apple Valley Fire Department and a K-9 unit from the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport Police Department during the incident. No arrests have been made in the case and the investigation is ongoing, police said. The incident was the second bomb threat in less than two weeks at an Apple Valley Walgreens store. On Sept. 4, police responded to a bomb threat at the Walgreens store at 14020 Pilot Knob Road. That same day, police in Rosemount investigated a bomb threat at the Walgreens at 15034 Shannon Parkway. No explosive devices were found in either of the Sept. 4 incidents. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Andrew Miller

with burglary of Rosemount businesses A Rosemount man is facing felony charges after late-night breakins at two area businesses. Kevin R. Hlavka, 30, was charged with two counts of burglary and one count of motor vehicle theft Sept. 4 following a police investigation at Rickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Auto Repair and Wills Welding and Repair, businesses both located at 15280 S. Robert Trail in Rosemount. According to the criminal complaint, both businesses reported forced entry of their doors on June 4. A laptop computer had been stolen, and a 2002 Nissan Altima was missing, with the keys for the car taken during the burglary. Hlavka, who was identified as a suspect during the police investigation, told officers he had been walking on Highway 3 in Rosemount after bars closed and came upon the two businesses. He admitted stealing the laptop and the keys to the Nissan Altima, and he drove off in the Nissan but only made it as far as Cannon Falls when the car broke down, the complaint said. If convicted of all three charges, Hlavka faces a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison and $30,000 in fines. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Andrew Miller

The drawdown lowers the water to just below the sill of the Byllesby Dam, forming the reservoir. To lower the water level in the reservoir without causing an abrupt change, about 1 inch of water is released daily. The reservoir will remain at its winter level until May 15 when refilling 3 feet to the summer elevation is permitted. Construction on the Byllesby Dam will have no effect on the fall drawdown or spring refill. For more information, visit www.dakotacounty.us and search reservoir water levels.

Traffic crawls, snarls, collides on the I-35 drive Single-lane traffic causes headaches in Lakeville by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

It has been a summer of unprecedented traffic problems related to construction work and lane closures on I-35, including accidents and backups affecting Lakeville roads. Problems are so severe that the Lakeville Police Department has adjusted scheduling so an extra officer is on duty at rush hour to help with trafficrelated calls. The city is utilizing community service officers to assist in directing traffic. Drivers escaping snarls on I-35 overwhelmed Lakeville roads Sept. 13, when both high schools had home football games and Lakeville North’s annual cross country Applejack Run was at Aronson Park. Lakeville police spent two hours directing traffic at the signalized intersection of 185th Street and County Road 50 as drivers poured off the congested freeway during rush hour, causing long backups and overwhelming the system, Police Chief Tom Vonhof said. “We never had to do that before,” Vonhof said. City Administrator Steve Mielke said the Minnesota Department of Transportation’s road and ramp closings have been unpredictable and frustrated city officials struggling to be prepared, keep roads safe and the community informed. “We will be asking MnDOT to give us warning when they close an access,” Mielke said. “People are looking for alternatives and it’s causing headaches for us and the public.” Vehicle crashes on I-35 in Lakeville have added to the freeway’s congestion

Several vehicles were totaled in a Sept. 13 chainreaction crash on I-35. Lakeville police and firefighters assisted the Minnesota State Patrol at that scene and two other crashes that occurred on I-35 that day. Work being conducted on the busy freeway is expected to be completed in early November. (Photo submitted) problems, and on Sept. 6 shut the freeway down, Mielke said. That day, three major crashes occurred on I-35 within four hours, choking off the already snarled traffic. Vonhof said the first crash occurred around 11:30 a.m., when a semi driver was inattentive and rear-ended several vehicles and another semitruck. Lakeville police arrived to find four passenger vehicles totaled in the crash and one of the semitrucks leaking fuel into the median from a damaged tank. The Lakeville Fire Department also responded to the scene, staying until the fuel was cleaned up. Three people sustained non-life-threatening injuries in the crash and another person was taken by ambulance to the hospital, Vonhof said. An hour after that crash was cleared, Lakeville first responders were called back to I-35 assisting the Minnesota State Patrol with a crash that occurred in the southbound lane north of County Road 70. Vonhof said the crash

traffic from County Road 2 to County Road 50 starting Sept. 25. Traffic will remain single lane through the area until early November, said MnDOT spokesperson Kirsten Klein. Two ramps will also close Sept. 25: the 185th Street ramp to northbound I-35 and the northbound I-35 ramp to County Road 50. Other temporary ramp closures are also to be expected within the project area through November, according to the MnDOT website. Klein said MnDOT will temporarily close northbound I-35W from the I-35/I-35W/I-35E split to Highway 13 for resurfacing work on Saturday. She advised motorists to plan more time for travel, be patient and if possible seek alternate routes. Mielke said the city will ask Dakota County if it could speed up completion of the Dodd Boulevard/Highview Avenue road project to provide another north-south corridor. The project is projected to be completed by the end of September. Mielke said they will also request from MnDOT more directional signs and board signs warning drivers about work that is planned. The city plans to put information about the road projects on its website and Facebook page; Sun Thisweek also keeps residents informed on its website, www.sunthisweek.com. “People have the power to look at routes and find other ways they can go,” Vonhof said.

occurred after a pickup truck rear-ended a truck carrying tomatoes, which started a chain-reaction crash that injured three people and totaled two vehicles. That scene was cleared in about an hour, then Vonhof said there was soon a third crash that also caused a travel delay for I-35 commuters. With better communication, Mielke said the city can change signals at intersections, or add officers to flag motorists through. MnDOT has had several projects on I-35 in and around Lakeville all summer, closing intersections and intermittently cutting traffic to single lanes to conduct resurface and repair work on the busy freeway. Traffic has been reduced to a single lane in both directions from the I-35/I-35W/I-35E split to County Road 50, and between County Road 2 and County Road 70 for weeks. The short reprieve around 185th Street is Laura Adelmann is at ending as MnDOT will laura.adelmann@ecm-inc. extend the single lanes com. for both north and south

Herrick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He realized their faithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foundation and their excellent academic performance at Visitation started with St. Joseph School.â&#x20AC;? The Rev. Paul Jarvis, who conducted Zahrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s celebration of life service Friday, recognized this when he visited the Zahr family after Jack Zahrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stroke Sept. 1. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could also tell from Jackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Janâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughters that they raised them not only to love athletics, but to love learning,â&#x20AC;?

small group with 24 members. Starting even before last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ramble Jam was in the books, members divided responsibilities for 2013 Ramble Jam, each taking areas to manage. But without the help of volunteers, Ramble Jam just could not be possible. This year, the club anticipates as many as 3,000 people will attend each day of the festival. Farmington Rotarians rely on help from family and friends, but community groups also help fill the volunteer roster. In conjunction with Ramble Jam, the Rotary club holds a raffle for a trip to Mexico. Community groups help sell tickets for the raffle and sign up for volunteer slots at the music festival. Then Farmington Rotary makes a donation back to the group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We help other people in their fundraising, which also helps us to fundraise,â&#x20AC;? Rychner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a way for the community to help

tage point, can look down and know he, and his incredible wife, have done an excellent job. Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t this the greatest satisfaction any parent can take?â&#x20AC;? Laura and Becky Zahr attended St. Joseph Catholic School and Visitation High School. Laura Zahr attends Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, and Becky Zahr is a student at St. Catherine University in St. Paul. Jarvis said he was privileged to be with people of such strong faith when it was determined that Jack Zahrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s situation was terminal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As I visited, I noted how solid they were, drawing their strength from each other and the God they all loved,â&#x20AC;? Jarvis wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could see from such incredible faith would come courage and comfort.â&#x20AC;? The Zahrsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; link to St. Joseph created many

friendships in the Rosemount community along with the ones they forged in Eagan as residents of that city. Outside of his work, Herrick said Jack Zahr had his priorities when it came to relaxing at the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lake home in northern Minnesota. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of those revolved around the family and the lake,â&#x20AC;? he said. Herrick said Jack Zahr like to water ski and tube, fish and hang out on the dock. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The cabin was the place for family, fun and relaxing,â&#x20AC;? Herrick said. Jack Zahr graduated from the College of St. Thomas in 1977. He was captain of the St. Thomas cross country team his senior year and also ran track and field.

us support Ramble Jam, but also, they support their own community group.â&#x20AC;? Volunteers also receive free admission based on how many hours they give. They come from Farmington, Dakota County, and other Rotary clubs. Festival-goers also attend the event and volunteer. They help with a variety of jobs, including security, stage crew, bartenders, grounds crew, parking guides and sanitation. Many of the volunteer slots are already filled, but the Rotary club is still looking for volunteers, especially for late Saturday night shifts. Rychner said people have hesitated to volunteer as security, but Rotary hires a private security firm and multiple sheriff deputies are on the grounds at all time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anybody can volunteer for security because there is a lot of important support work needed,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really to make sure that the people are safe and they have a good time.â&#x20AC;?

Because that is what Ramble Jam is all about, a good time. With Jerrod Niemann headlining Friday night, and Rodney Atkins headlining Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festivities, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a chance to kick back with songs like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lover, Loverâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Daughter.â&#x20AC;?And fans love a chance to support their local Twin Cities artists, such as Hitchville and the Devon Worley Band. Both bands will be making their second appearance at the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re super excited,â&#x20AC;? Rychner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stressful, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really great event.â&#x20AC;?

has been playing and teaching pickleball for four years in Rosemount. He said it is one of the few sports, besides golf, that can be played by seniors. “It doesn’t have to be competitive,” he said. “It’s just fun, social. It’s a game you can play aggressively or just leisurely.” Players in Rosemount meet at Claret Park during the spring and summer using six courts for the Rosemount Pickleball Club. They have been playing there for four years and meet on weekday mornings for games. Farmington’s Grand Hall Studio is one of the few places in the south metro where you can play pickleball indoors. The Grand Hall Studio ballroom is split into two courts. Four players split into pairs to play on one court. The rules aren’t difficult, and the main goal is to have fun, but pickleball sneaks in a good workout, too. Corneliu Simionescu, of Farmington, has been doing physical therapy to recuperate from heart surgery, and he said pickleball is a better workout than his physical therapy. “Tennis is more physically demanding, and pingpong is static,” he said. “Pickleball is between them, and I like it.”

Sara VonFrick has been visiting relatives in Farmington. She lives in Florida where seniors gather often to play pickleball. She has been playing for about a year and enjoys the social aspect the most. “You get to know all these people that play and all their personalities,” she said. “It’s a pretty diverse group of people.” Pickleball was created in 1966 when several dads invented a new game for their bored children in Washington state. They improvised a new game with a Wiffletype ball and plywood paddles. Stories persist that pickleball was named after creator Joel Pritchard’s dog, Pickles, but Joel’s wife has corrected the story, saying she said the game reminded her of the Pickle boat in crew where oarsmen were chosen from the leftovers of other boats. The family did have a dog, but he didn’t join the family until later and was named after the game. While various stories of how the game was named still float around, all agree it is a sport in need of more publicity. “Pickleball needs to get into the public more,” Taylor said. “There are a lot of people that when I say pickleball, they don’t know what it is. It’s an awesome game to get seniors off their buns.” More about the Rosemount Pickleball Club is

As the result of Eagan community involvement, an oak tree, which became known as the Grandfather Tree, was moved in order to be spared the saw in 2001. (Photo from the city of Eagan) Development and healthy urban forests are not mutually exclusive, Hove said. “They’ve done a pretty good job on this down here (in Eagan),” he said. One hallmark of a good forestry program, Johnson believes, is community buy-in. In Eagan, buy-in took herculean form in 2001 when the community rallied around saving a 27-inch diameter bur oak, perhaps 150 years old, threatened by the saw as a result of city improvements. Some $50,000 in private donations was raised to have the Grandfather Tree, as it was dubbed, dug out and moved. Its root ball was 25 feet across, 6 feet deep.

“It was either one of those deals where we pulled it off, I kept my job, or got fired,” Hove said. Eagan’s forestry program strives for thriftiness. Downed or dead trees are mulched — 3,000 yards of mulch came out of a recent bad storm. Another innovation had the city using lumber milled from city trees for paneling at a public safety center. The arrival of Dutch elm in the 1970s spurred development of a forestry program in Eagan, Hove said. That’s true with many cities, he said. “Is it expensive to have a (forestry) program? I think it’s more expensive not to have a program,” Hove said. “I tell my boss

the tree inspector talks to more people and shakes more hands than the mayor does.” Although giant root balls are not common in Minnetonka, Jo Colleran, the city natural resources manager, senses a deep appreciation for nature among residents. “They love their trees, they love their wetlands, they love the natural features of the community,” Colleran said. One task for Colleran and Emily Ball, Minnetonka forester, in part is community outreach. A comprehensive forestry section was created on the city’s website.

In the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat Three-year-old Mitchell Davies was all smiles as he tested out the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat of a fire truck during the booya event Sept. 14 hosted by Apple Valley firefighters; Mitchellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dad, Nick Davies, offered him a hand getting in and out of the truck. Area residents packed the grounds of the fire station at County Road 42 and Hayes Road for the 35th annual event, which saw firefighters dishing up about 400 gallons of booya â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a meat- and vegetable-filled stew â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as a fundraiser for the Apple Valley Firefightersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Relief Association. The festivities also included bingo, childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s games, a silent auction and raffle. (Photo by Andrew Miller)

TREES, from previous sale, with some 1,300 to 1,500 trees sold last time to about 700 households. According to Ball, not everyone knows how deep to plant a tree or how to prepare a root ball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always working to improve that,â&#x20AC;? she said. Urban forestry practices that make sense in one city may not in another. While some cities use vibratory plows to sever the shared root systems between oaks to combat the spread of oak wilt, sloping ground, garden walls and other unique factors can limit the use of trenching, Ball noted. Human emotions also play a role in urban forestry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think people (are) much less excited about protecting their elms than their oaks,â&#x20AC;? Ball said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think people get more at-

tached to oaks.â&#x20AC;? One lesson the Minnetonka city staff tries to teach is plant diversity. Insect pests tend to go for specific trees, Ball said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what will be on our doorstep next. But if you have diversity of tree species, you have some resiliency,â&#x20AC;? she said. One insect pest at the door is emerald ash borer, a nonnative insect that kills ash trees. Quarantines for Ramsey, Hennepin, Houston and Winona counties exist, making it illegal to move ash firewood or other ash materials, which could spread the infestation, out of these counties. The ash borer hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been found yet in Minnetonka, Ball said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been actively looking for it,â&#x20AC;? she said. Hove noted that the insect has been spotted at

Fort Snelling, and he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hopeful. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We assume itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s here,â&#x20AC;? he said. Illinois is getting â&#x20AC;&#x153;slammedâ&#x20AC;? by the pest, Johnson said. Still, he considers the emerald ash borer a â&#x20AC;&#x153;wimpyâ&#x20AC;? bug, one that, without human assistance, will advance slowly. The tree experts urge landowners to select trees appropriate in size and to the climate for their properties. Hove warned against â&#x20AC;&#x153;volcano mulching,â&#x20AC;? or piling mulch high on tree trunks. Mulching is good, but volcano mulching is an invitation to disease. Remember where trees like to grow, Hove suggested. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Try to imitate whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening out in the woods.â&#x20AC;?

Sports Offenses roll for Tigers, Irish

Tigers extend unbeaten streak Boys soccer team drubs Red Wing

Football teams strike through the air

by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Farmington and Rosemount scored early and often in winning football games last week. Tyler VanWinkle threw three touchdown passes as Farmington (3-0) defeated Red Wing 37-7 on Friday in a Missota Conference game. A 72-yard punt return by Dimitri Williams got Rosemount started in its 66-21 romp at Bloomington Kennedy in South Suburban Conference play. Quarterback Jackson Erdmann also threw five touchdown passes in the first half for Rosemount, which improved to 2-1 overall. Farmington took a 14-0 lead in the second quarter of its game at Red Wing as VanWinkle threw touchdown passes of 5 yards to Jordan DeCroock and 15 yards to Mac Bassett. The Tigers pulled away in the second half with 23 unanswered points. Nick Buhta scored on a 12-yard run, VanWinkle threw a 15-yard scoring pass to C.J. Wynings and Spencer Kabran had a 3-yard touchdown run. Reid Taubenheim added a 32yard field goal. Farmington had 380 yards of total offense, in-

Rosemount’s John Birkholz (20) pursues Bloomington Kennedy’s Payton Morales. (Photo by Rick Orndorf) cluding 259 rushing. Although he didn’t get into the end zone, Noah Kary was the Tigers’ most effective rusher with 155 yards in 28 carries. Van Winkle completed 14 of 27 passes for 121 yards and three scores. Bassett and DeCroock had five catches each, and Wynings had four receptions. Tigers linebacker Mason Auge had seven solo tackles and four assists, including two tackles for losses.

Farmington will try to remain unbeaten when it plays host to New Prague at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 20.

Rosemount The RosemountBloomington Kennedy game was scoreless until the final minute of the first quarter. Once Williams scored on his punt return, the dam burst. There were six touchdowns in the second quarter – that’s right, six – with the Irish scoring five of them. Erdmann threw

touchdown passes to Tyler Hartigan (35 yards), Grant Jackson (30 yards), Williams (68 yards), Jack Kessler (10 yards) and Williams again (23 yards) as Rosemount took a 40-7 halftime lead. Lowell Green had two rushing touchdowns and Cole Jalivay one in the second half. Erdmann completed five of 14 passes – meaning each of his completions went for a touchdown – for 166 yards. Green rushed for 110

yards on 14 carries. Rosemount, 2-0 in the South Suburban Conference, goes to Prior Lake at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 20, for an important league game. Four teams are undefeated in conference play, but after Friday that number will be down to two. Prior Lake also is 2-0 in the league. Bloomington Jefferson (2-0) goes to Lakeville North (3-0) this week in another game between SSC leaders.

Rosemount reigns again at Applejack Invite Irish boys, East Ridge girls win team titles by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Aronson Park isn’t the Rosemount boys cross country team’s home course. The Irish just make it look that way. Rosemount won its third consecutive boys team championship at the Applejack Invite in Lakeville last Friday. The Irish placed four runners among the top 16 individuals and weren’t really threatened in the team standings, where they finished 37 points ahead of second-place Centennial. Lakeville North, the host team, placed third. Farmington and Lakeville South were ninth and 10th. East Ridge, ranked second in Class AA, won the girls team champion with third-ranked Eagan taking second. Seventhranked Lakeville South

took third place. Rosemount finished eighth, Lakeville North was 10th and Farmington placed 13th.

Applejack boys Rosemount was competing for the first time since the Irish Invitational on Aug. 30. The team typically takes a two-week break from competition after its invitational, and the Irish showed few signs of rust. “Seventy-nine points is still a large total for this group, but it was nearly a 20-team meet and a win is a win,” Rosemount coach Chris Harder said. The sixth-ranked Irish had junior Alex Berhe finish fourth in the 5,000-meter race in 16 minutes, 9.0 seconds. Sam Ivanecky (13th, 16:41.9), Cody Sedbrook (15th, 16:47.1) and Ryan Brumm (16th, 16:47.9) also finished in the top 20. “The guys ran a solid race,” Harder said. “We wanted to have the lead by 2 miles, which we did. The

last mile, the guys really put the hammer down. We dropped another 32 points in the last mile and still had gas in the tank.” Ryan Condon (31st), Sam Karlson (67th) and Aaron Elizondo (102nd) also ran for the Irish varsity in the Applejack Invite. The next race for the Rosemount boys is the Roy Griak Invitational at the Bolstad University Golf Course on Sept. 28. Third-place Lakeville North was led by junior Justin Hanson (16:53.6), sophomore Luke Anderson (16:55.2) and junior Kyle Binder (16:55.2), who finished 21st through 23rd. Jason Windhorn was 30th and Noah Omdal placed 33rd out of 161 runners. Richfield senior Obsa Ali, the top-ranked individual in Class AA, won the boys race in 14:57.5. Lakeville South senior Wali Ibrahim was second in 15:58.7 and Farmington junior Justin Hyytinen took third in 16:04.38.

Applejack girls With last year’s Applejack Invite girls winner Maria Hauger now in college, it was time for a new champion to step on the podium. That was Eagan junior Anna Van Wyk, whose 4,000-meter time of 14:26.7 was almost eight seconds better than the runner-up. Van Wyk also placed first at the Dakota Classic in Eagan on Aug. 30. That was the first varsity individual victory of her career. “She had a great summer of training, as did a lot of our girls, and she really came into our season full-force,” Eagan coach Lisa Langenhahn said. The Wildcats have been in three meets this season. After winning the Dakota Classic, they finished second to East Ridge at a meet in Hastings and again at the Applejack Invite. They were 20 points behind East Ridge on Friday, but Langenhahn said she saw positive signs in

her runners’ performance. Senior Raissa Hansen (14:38.0) and junior Kelli Praska (14:39.8) finished fifth and sixth for Eagan. Olivia Mitchell (32nd), Kirsten Barrett (48th), Karina Johnson (49th) and Danielle Marshall (61st) also ran for the Wildcats. The girls meet attracted five of the top 11 teams in Class AA. Rosemount won a tiebreaker for eighth place, and Harder said the seven teams that finished ahead of the Irish either are ranked or were ranked earlier in the season. Senior Hannah Grim led the Irish by placing 15th in 15:03.9, the third fastest time ever by a Rosemount High School girl. Sydney Hansen and Liz Evenocheck were 40th and 45th. Farmington was 13th and was led by seventhgrader Lauren Peterson, who was 20th individually.

Father and son will square off on Saturday Girls soccer game between Rosemount and Armstrong a family affair by Nick Clark SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The decision Kathy Adams makes the morning of Sept. 21 could be telling, though you’ll have to forgive her if she’s torn between dressing in Armstrong red or Rosemount blue. During any other Saturday afternoon, what she wears for clothes is hardly combative. But, for her family at least, this will be unlike any other afternoon she’s experienced as a soccer mom/wife. On one side of the field at Armstrong High School will be her husband Kevin’s team from Rosemount. On the other, son Chris will lead Armstrong. Kathy’s dilemma will be obvious. “I’m not sure what she will do,” admitted Chris. “When my sister played for Eastview and they would play Rosemount, she would cheer for Eastview. I’m not sure about this though. I think for her, a perfect scenario would be a 0-0 tie.”

However, should the game end in a draw, one more predicament will surface. Chris and Kevin have devised a traveling trophy for what is expected to become an annual family affair. It’s a troll doll, which must be some sort of joke kept within family lines. Nonetheless, a tie does nothing to declare the keeper of said troll. “Maybe we’ll do an off-therecord shootout,” said Chris. “I think we’d have to figure out something.” Family matters aside, the game has plenty of other intrigue in regards to what transpires between the lines. As one would expect, the two coaches share many of the same philosophies. Style of play, however, is not necessarily one – though that is more due to circumstances than choice. Rosemount plays in the South Suburban Conference, which is known more as a possession and finesse league than the physical and rugged Northwest Suburban.

“We are very quick and we like to play a possession and attacking offense,” said Kevin. “I know Chris likes to get forward as well, but we have to stay away from the physical stuff. We are built more for speed.” The Irish are also apparently built for a bus ride. This visit to Armstrong will be their third lengthy trip of the fall after having already traveled to Northfield and Duluth. Rosemount opened the year with five consecutive victories, but the Irish have since fallen to 5-2-1 with losses to Prior Lake, Bloomington Jefferson and a 2-2 draw with Eagan Sept. 12. Armstrong, which is attempting to replace 10 seniors from last year’s team, was just 1-3-1 through Sept. 12, but the start was actually encouraging. The Falcons dropped a 2-0 decision on the road against topranked Minnetonka to start the year. They beat Park Center 1-0 and tied Osseo 1-1 to go with 3-2 defeats to Maple Grove and Centennial, the latter of which was

Sept. 12. “It is a little bit more of a blue collar group compared to what we had last year,” said Chris. “Right now, they are all working as hard as they can on their own, but they are still learning how to work with each other. But we are getting better. We’ve been pretty happy with how the girls have hung around with some of these teams.”

RHS soccer homecoming The Rosemount High School soccer program will host a Homecoming and Community Night when teams play Burnsville High School at Irish Stadium on Thursday, Sept. 26. The girls game starts at 5 p.m. and the boys games start at 7 p.m. There will be free admission for youth in grades K-8 who wear their soccer jerseys. Fans will receive one free burger and dessert with admission (while supplies last) and a chance to win T-shirts, posters and signed varsity soccer balls.

Red Wing used a risky defensive strategy in its boys soccer game Tuesday against Farmington. Sometimes the Wingers gambled and won, but several times the risk did not pay off. “Red Wing played an offsides trap fairly effectively. We ended up recording 14 offsides calls,” said Farmington coach Julian Buss, whose team defeated the Wingers 6-1 in Missota Conference play. “One thing about the offsides trap is if your defenders are constantly moving up trying to trap the forwards, if you don’t get the call and ball goes through, it is a race to the goal. We capitalized on a number of fast-break situations where the (offsides) flag didn’t go up.” Jake Spindler and Blake Smith scored two goals each for the Tigers, who improved to 6-2-2 overall and 2-0 in the Missota. Farmington has a fourgame unbeaten streak (30-1). Robin DeCastro and Rafael Romero also scored for the Tigers, who were missing one of their top offensive players, Jared Wolt, who was out because of an injury. Smith, Spindler, Caleb Gochenour, Ben Sorenson and Matt DuBois had assists for Farmington. Red Wing’s goal came on a penalty kick with 11:10 remaining in the first half. That cut Farmington’s lead to 2-1, but the Tigers added a goal with 5:09 left before halftime and three more in the second half. Farmington played at New Prague on Thursday and will go to Chaska for a Missota Conference game at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 24.

Tigers notes • The girls swimming team won its second invitational meet in as many weeks Saturday when it took first at the Bloomington Kennedy Eagle Invite by more than 200 points. One week earlier, Farmington won its division at the Maroon and Gold Invitational. The Tigers also won the Missota Conference Relays in August. Individual winners for Farmington on Saturday included Cora Ruzicka (200-yard freestyle and 500 freestyle), Kaitlyn O’Reilly (200 individual medley and 100 breaststroke) and Kirsten Kracke (50 freestyle and 100 freestyle). Farmington also took first in the 2009 freestyle relay with Kracke, Ellie Sundet, Chelsea Gehrke and O’Reilly. O’Reilly’s time of 2 minutes, 15.73 seconds in the 200 IM set a meet record. But that’s not her fastest time in the event; she set a school record of 2:10.07 in a Missota Conference meet against Northfield. • The girls soccer team got another look at the competition it will face next year in the South Suburban Conference. The Tigers lost 5-0 on Monday at Eagan, one of the SSC’s top teams. It was Farmington’s second game against a South Suburban team this season. The Tigers tied Lakeville South 0-0 in August. The Tigers will play at Chaska at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 24. Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

Volunteers KIDSPO is seeking volunteers to help with some of the activities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a great opportunity for students looking to earn some volunteer hours,â&#x20AC;? Jech said. Volunteers receive a free T-shirt and a $5 Green Mill voucher for lunch at the event. To see a list of activities available, click on our volunteer link at www.kidspo2013.com. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of work going on behind the scenes to make this event success. A planning group has been gearing up for it after launching the idea nearly a year ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;KIDSPO wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be possible without the support of its sponsors,â&#x20AC;? Jech said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have been great partners in helping to put on this event that will bring together people from throughout Dakota County and beyond for a great time.â&#x20AC;? Gold sponsors: Park Chrysler Jeep of Burnsville and Primrose Schools of Eagan and Lakeville. Silver sponsors: Christian Heritage Academy, Ballet Royale and Twin Cities Ballet Minnesota, US Federal Credit Union, Fairview Hospitals & Clinics, Thoroughbred Carpet & Floors, Hirshfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Glowing Hearth & Home and Savers Unique Thrift Store.

Lakeville actor has Hollywood on her resumé

Ben Rosenbush at LAAC

Jane Hammill cast this month in ‘Good People’ at Park Square Theatre Jane Hammill’s return to acting has brought her some choice roles. After a 15-year hiatus, the Lakeville actor made her return to the stage in 1998 with a part in a community theater production of “The Wizard of Oz.” From there, film and TV roles started coming – she’s appeared in commercials for the Minnesota Twins and Grand Casino, and she scored a part in the 2009 Coen brothers comedy “A Serious Man,” in which she played the secretary of main character Larry Gopnik. “I missed it a lot – it gets in your soul, and I felt like I had to get back into it,” Hammill said of her time away from the

stage, which was prompted by a move out of state and the duties of family life. Her latest acting gig has her cast as eccentric landlady Dottie in “Good People,” a stage comedy which opens Sept. 20 and runs through Oct. 6 at the Park Square Theatre in St. Paul. She’s also appearing in the film “Best Man Down,” set for release in November. The film was shot two years ago in the Twin Cities, and Hammill’s fellow cast members include Justin Long – known for his roles in “Dodgeball” and “Jeepers Creepers” – and Shelley Long, who played Diane Chambers in the TV sitcom “Cheers.”

Jane Hammill Hammill, who sidelines as a waitress at Tucci Benucch at the Mall of America, plans to take another break from acting – albeit a shorter one than her last hiatus – early next year. “My daughter’s getting married in January,” Hammill said, “and she wouldn’t appreciate it if I was doing a show during her wedding.” —Andrew Miller

Locally, the program is sponsored by the Minnesota Book Awards, a program of The Friends of the Saint Paul Public Library, as the Minnesota Center for the Book, the Minnesota Council of Teachers of English and Common Good Books. The contest asks readers to write a letter to an author describing how his or her work touched their life in a personal way. Authors can be of any genre or time period and can come from any country. The contest focuses on reader response and reflective writing and has three competition levels: Level 1 for students in grades 4-6; Level 2 for students in grades 7-8; and Level 3 for students in grades 9-12. State level judges choose the top essayists from each of the three competition levels who will advance to the national level. Prizes will be awarded to the top three winners of each competition level. A panel of national judges for the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress will select one national winner per competition level to receive a $1,000 cash award. The judges will also select one national honor per competition level to receive a $200 cash award. Entries will be assessed on three criteria: content, or the writer’s achievement in addressing the contest theme; exposition, or the writer’s use of language skills; and voice, the writer’s style and originality of expression. Last year’s contest attracted more than 1,400 participants from Minnesota. There are two deadlines for the competition: Dec. 10 is the deadline for Level 3: grades 9-12. Jan. 10, 2014, is the deadline for Level 1: grades 4-6, and Level 2: grades 7-8. For official guidelines and entry forms, visit www.thefriends.org.

Autumn Arrives

Mixed Fall Planters, Squash, Gourds, Straw, Pumpkins, Fall Peppers, Mini-Pumpkins, Decorative Cabbage, Color Corn, Mums, Cornstalks, & more! Caution: Scary Fall Fun Ahead By Jennifer Chick Autumn is the perfect time to scare up some garden fun at Terra Garden Center in Lakeville. Their “monster” mums are really scary good, or create a Fall fantasy fairy garden from your wildest imaginings, or rake in the fall planting tips from their highly qualified staff of horticulture experts. Finding scary and colorful delights this time of year is easy at Terra Garden Center, located at 20230 Kenrick Ave., Lakeville. They’re stuffed with fun items for fall decorating. You’ll find Cinderella pumpkins, Red Warty Thing squash, white pumpkins, blue pumpkins, multi-colored corn, mini pumpkins, straw bales, mums, many varieties of squash, asters, kale, ornamental peppers, cabbage and more. As you change your seasonal decorations, don’t neglect your fairy gardens. You’ll find plenty of Fall inspiration for them too from the Harvest Kingdom fairy garden at Terra Garden Center. Terra also recently added a full line of NEW ceramic tabletop fountains so you can recreate the outdoors inside your home all winter. The mini-drought we’ve experienced through August and into early September makes it absolutely essential that gardeners should water in their trees and shrubs right up to the first freeze. Terra Garden Center co-owner Dan Silver says trees and shrubs need the extra moisture during a dry fall in order to store up energy and avoid winter burn. Terra Garden Center also carries an excellent product called Wilt-Stop, which helps protect plants during the winter months from dehydration. Wilt-Stop works especially well on evergreens, and the perfect time to apply is later in fall on a warm day. Make sure to drench the foliage with it to provide maximum protection. Co-owner Steve Risan also reminds people to stop fertilizing plants, trees, shrubs and grasses in the fall. If gardeners fertilize in the fall, it sends the plants the wrong message. This is the time to let them settle in for winter. Also, don’t forget to mulch first-year perennials with leaves or straw. Trim back hostas before the first freeze, because, as Dan advises, they turn into an ooey-gooey mess after a freeze. Something fit for a haunted house, but not so pretty in your flower beds nor very pleasant to remove. Many other perennials will benefit from a cutting back before the first freeze too. Don’t be afraid to trim them back. A good haircut now will mean a thicker, healthier plant in the spring. It’s best not to cut back grasses, daisy-like perennials and hydrangeas until early spring because of the interest they add to the landscape in the winter.
