Lakeville’s Mary Liz will not seek re-election Holberg: ‘16 years is a long time’ by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Republican fiscal and social conservative leader state Rep. Mary Liz Holberg will not seek re-election to the Minnesota House this fall. Holberg, of Lakeville, announced her decision not to seek a ninth term in office at the Republican caucus in Farmington on Saturday. “It was a tough decision,â€? Holberg said. “It’s certainly a job I love. It’s exciting and you learn new things and I’ve gotten to work with people across the state ‌ but 16 years is a long time.â€? Holberg said she decided it is “time to move on,â€? but plans to remain involved in community issues and volunteering. She said she will not endorse a successor, but invites anyone who is interested to call her to learn more about the opportunities. During what will become her last legislative session, Holberg is hoping several privacy bills she has authored State Rep.

Steve Snider’s Lakeville bed-and-breakfast is getting rave reviews on airbnb.com, but a planned city ordinance would shut his business down. Bed-and-breakfasts like Snider’s have drawn complaints from neighbors regarding traffic and a flow of strangers temporarily moving in and out, said Lakeville City Planner Daryl Morey at a Feb. 24 City Council workshop.

“The main concern is ‌ a situation where you have people that are clearly renting rooms in their home for one or two or three days, and there’s a high level of turnover,â€? Morey said. “It’s a commercial business that’s being introduced into a residential area, and that’s a compatibility concern.â€? At the workshop, council members reviewed a proposed ordinance intended to keep hotel-type property uses like a bed-and-breakfast out of residential neigh-

borhoods. Bed-and-breakfast businesses are allowed by permit in agricultural districts, not in single-family neighborhoods, Morey said. Snider said in an interview he talked to Mayor Matt Little about the issue “a while back� and was confident the restrictions were “not going to happen.� He said he is active in the business community and indicated surprise See B & B, 19A

Mayor responds to calls for chickens by Laura Adelmann Lakeville is poised to legalize raising chickens in residential neighborhoods. Mayor Matt Little said he has received numerous requests from citizens who want to raise chickens in their backyards, and most Lakeville City Council members indicated support for the idea at their Feb. 24 work session. Beekeeping or raising goats in neighborhoods, also requests the city has received from resi-

Lakeville School Board Member Michelle Volk vowed to alert parents and lawmakers about the 2013 Minnesota Student Survey questions school staff said underwent “major revisions� and Volk said pervasively invade family privacy. She raised concerns about how the Lakeville Area School District obtained parent consent for students given the survey last year, which she noted violates district policy. District staff said the School Board granted permission for them to veer from policy requiring written parental permission for students to take surveys that ask about their or their par-

ents personal beliefs, sex practices, family life, morality and religion. Per board approval, the district obtained “passive consent� from parents, requiring them to sign a form to opt their child out of taking the survey, said Renae Ouillette, student and special services director. Ouillette said past practices required “active consent� where parents signed a slip allowing their child to take the Minnesota Student Survey. She said they hoped the change would allow the district to get more students participating, and gain more statistically reliable results. The change yielded “drastically� increased See SURVEY, 16A

Burnsville Fire Muster parades will be paired Change meant to save costs, spark more interest by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

No phones, higher fines proposed for drivers in work zones Crash in Burnsville that killed two is at the center of issue by Jonathan Avise SESSION DAILY

Making Minnesota’s road construction sites safer is the aim of a pair of bills a House transportation committee heard Monday, Feb 10. Sponsored by Rep. Ron Erhardt, DFL-Edina, House File 1796 proposes toughened standards for driving through construction areas, including prohibiting cellphone usage – even hands-free devices – in work zones and setting a new $375 fine for speeding when construction workers are present. “Orange cones, no phones,� Erhardt said. “We want you all to remember that.� A second bill, H.F. 1949, sponsored by Rep. Mary Sawatzky, DFL-Willmar, also proposes a ban on the use of mobile phones in roadway construction zones. The bills were heard during an informational hearing of the House Transpor-

tation Policy Committee, which Erhardt chairs. Neither bill has a Senate companion. The $375 fine would replace current statute that doubles normal speeding fines when in a work zone. H.F. 1756 also calls for a $375 fine for drivers who don’t obey safety flaggers in work zones. The legislation proposed by Erhardt would institute a pilot program to test automated speed enforcement in up to five construction zones per year in 2014 and 2015. Road construction industry officials expressed support for the changes, saying more needs to be done to protect workers alongside busy roads, highways and interstates from distracted drivers. The husbands of Jodi Rajkowski and Deb Carlson were killed in October 2011 when a distracted motorist plowed into them at high speed at a project on

Interstate 35W in Burnsville. Both women told lawmakers more consideration needs to be given to the safety of workers alongside the state’s roads. “Keeping road workers safe in Minnesota is just as important as keeping traffic moving,â€? Carlson said. Rep. Linda Runbeck, R-Circle Pines, said she supports measures to keep construction workers safer on the state’s roads, but believes reducing speed limits – something not proposed in H.F. 1796 or H.F. 1949 – would be more effective in keeping workers safe. “Why don’t we say in a work zone we must reduce the speed (limit) ‌ to me we’re addressing the wrong issue,â€? she said. “We’re looking for a scapegoat, and the things that do work we’re not doing.â€?

From now on, Burnsville paradegoers will get a two-in-one deal at the annual Fire Muster in September. The festival’s Community Parade — traditionally held on Sunday at 1 p.m. — is moving to a Saturday time slot right behind the 11 a.m. Fire Truck Parade. The permanent change is a cost-saver that will help the Fire Muster maintain a budget surplus, said Tom Taylor, chairman of the festival’s executive board. Added goals are boosting attendance at the Fire Truck parade and at the festival’s Saturday-afternoon activities in Civic Center Park, Taylor said. “We anticipate increased attendance on Saturday afternoon,� he said. “That’s the other big benefit.� The change in the 34-year-old, post-Labor Day festival will be inaugurated on Saturday, Sept. 6. “We think it’s going to be a big boon longterm,� Taylor said. “We

recognized several years ago that it was going to be inevitable.� The board voted for the change Feb. 13 and will work to let parade participants and spectators know it’s coming, Taylor said. The Community Parade typically draws 7,000 to 8,000 spectators along the route, with 100 to 110 units participating, he said. “Everyone from the Burnsville High School marching band, all the way to the church groups that participate, the community groups that participate, and area businesses that participate,� he said. The Fire Truck Parade, featuring fire trucks and apparatus of many vintages, typically draws 1,000 to 2,000 spectators, Taylor said. The number of firefighting exhibitors in that parade has dwindled from 40 to 50 units to 30 to 40 as gas prices have risen and area fire departments have cut their budgets, Taylor said. Organizers hope that combining the parades will spark more interest in the Fire Truck Parade

Once the last truck from the Fire Truck Parade hits the corner of 132nd Street and Parkwood Drive, the traditional starting point for the Community Parade, “We will then commence the Community Parade, so people get to see both parades,� Taylor said. The change departs from three decades of Fire Muster tradition, he noted. But a survey of Community Parade participants by parade coordinator Tami Allen suggests it will be wellaccepted, he said. Pairing the parades on one day will save the Fire Muster about a fourth of the $14,000 to $18,000 it pays the city for security and other costs, Taylor said. The city once paid all those costs for the Fire Muster but cut its contribution to 50 percent as part of budget cuts in 2010, he noted.

Opinion Schools need policies ensure students have a hot lunch The report of Minnesota school students from low-income families being denied a hot school lunch raises a major question as to who is responsible for feeding hungry students in school. Clearly, the will of the people is that no student should go through the school day hungry. Most agree it is the responsibility of parents to make sure children eligible for a reduced-price lunch either have a bag lunch or the 40-cent co-pay in their lunch account needed to get a hot meal. The same holds for parents who are not eligible for reduced-price meals in school cafeterias. A spokesperson for Legal Aid said this week it believes the same payment policies are applied to all students, regardless of ability to pay for a hot lunch. The survey by Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid found that 46 school districts eventually, after some effort at collection, deny children a lunch if they don’t have the 40 cents to pay for it. The survey comes on the heels of reports from Utah where students were denied meals because of lack of payment. The Utah incidents highlighted the situation here. In fact, Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid has been advocating for the past six years to prohibit this practice in Minnesota. The survey found that another 166 districts provide an alternative – fruit,

ECM Editorial a cheese or peanut butter sandwich and a carton of milk – while the rest of the districts, including Minneapolis and Anoka-Hennepin, serve hot lunches to those who qualify for reduced-price lunches. Judging from reaction, this issue has engaged many Minnesotans who are choosing sides on the issue of the responsibility of government to feed hot lunches and breakfasts to students who come to school hungry for whatever reason. We believe that the child should not suffer because of neglectful parents, particularly if they have to sit in school feeling the pangs of hunger. The focus of this discussion is on those students who qualify for a reduced-price lunch based on the family’s annual income. The bottom line is who should pay the 40 cents for a hot lunch when the family can’t or forgets to do so in a timely fashion. The answer comes down to the local school district administration and policies approved by the school board. Budgets are set and most districts expect the lunch program to be self-supporting. However, the priority of all school districts ought first to be how can we get all

children fed, not how can we get all the meals paid for. It’s hard to blame the local school food service department that most likely is following orders and guidelines to provide meals while staying within their budgets. But policies that deny a student a meal or send a student home with an ink-stamped hand as a reminder that payment is due are cruel, mean and simply wrong. No child should be punished or humiliated in such a fashion because an adult has failed their personal responsibility. We believe local taxpayers would pay more if they knew those additional funds would go directly to pay for hot lunches for students from low-income families. We also believe most districts can be creative in finding solutions that are respectful to struggling families who want to pay, but need more time. Meanwhile, this survey has so stirred up the public that the Legislature will likely pass a bill making sure every student who qualifies for a reduced-price lunch will get a hot meal. That will require an estimated expenditure of $3.5 million. Gov. Mark Dayton is including the $3.5 million in his supplemental budget that will be considered this session. The state has a budget surplus, meaning the funds are available. It is unfortunate that a proposal in the last

session to provide this funding fell on deaf ears and was eliminated from the budget. The focus alone on this issue will help solve the problem as local school boards examine their policies and procedures and hold accountable administrators to make sure no child is denied a lunch. School districts that carry a healthy food service fund balance do not face budget problems. The Legal Aid survey also drew a response from the commissioner of education. Calling the substance of the survey “quite troubling,” Brenda Cassellius wrote to superintendents in all districts last week: “Like me, I know that none of you would deny a child a nutritious lunch intentionally. I am hoping you will speak with your Food Service Directors regarding this information and find ways to ensure children are never turned away from receiving a hot meal.” Legislators should pass this legislation so that all children eligible for freeand-reduced lunches, no matter the economic circumstances of their parents, are provided a hot school lunch so that they can learn their lessons. This is an opinion from the ECM Publishers Editorial Board. Sun Thisweek and the Dakota County Tribune are part of ECM Publishers Inc.

Letters Thanks to rescuers To the editor: I would like to thank the emergency/rescue group that got me out of my car and to Fairview Hospital on Friday, Feb. 21, due to a car crash. Thanks go out to Officer Kevin O’Neill and the Lakeville Police Department and to Dr. Rock and the nurses of Fairview Ridges Hospital. Also, thanks go to the good Samaritan who loaned me his cellphone and talked to me after the accident. What probably saved my life was being buckled up and staying in my car.

Snow bound To the editor: I slid into a snow bank on Saturday while traveling south on Kenwood Trail approaching 185th Street. As I was calling the police a very nice man, Morgan, and his son, Andrew, stopped to help me. They directed traffic around me and helped me to call AAA.

Holberg an honorable public servant To the editor: On Saturday at a local Republican convention, state Rep. Mary Liz Holberg suddenly announced she would not be seeking another term. There were more than a few misty eyes and many hugs of thanks and affection extended to her. As I listened to her thank the local party activists for their support and the opportunity to represent Lakeville, I realized that it is really Lakeville that should thank her for the years of service to our area. Mary Liz has been an honorable and dedicated public servant who has always been clear on where she stood on the issues and has given tirelessly of herself in her role as a representative. Mary Liz earned the respect of her colleagues, Democrat and Republican alike. Although some might not have agreed with her all the time, they knew Mary Liz as someone who would listen and work respectfully toward the best outcome for the constituents of Lakeville. She will be remembered for her work to protect data privacy, important legislation to protect the unborn, and for her relentless battle to make government “live within its means.” Saturday was a sad day for many, including myself, because Holberg was ending part of her career that she loved doing for Lakeville. It is my hope that she knows that her friends and neighbors are proud of her, and her work. We all look forward to seeing her bright smile and hearing her undeniable laugh as she continues to serve in some new way. Thank you, Mary Liz!

Legislators thanked To the editor: I would like to recognize and thank Sens. Jim Carlson and Greg Clausen and Reps. Laurie Halverson, Mary Liz Holberg, Sandy Masin, Will Morgan and Anna Wills for joining members of the Metropolitan Interfaith Council on Affordable Housing for a breakfast discussion Wednesday, Feb. 19. This breakfast, held at Presbyterian Church of the Apostles in Burnsville was a non-partisan gathering planned to help build relationships with state legislators and to exchange ideas on goals for the upcoming legislative sessions. MICAH invited all legislators from Dakota County Districts 51, 56, 57 and 58, to this event, and we were pleased that the seven legislators above were able to attend. Participants enjoyed lively conversation with the legislators who attended, gaining insight into their goals for the upcoming session. MICAH members advocated for a bonding bill which includes $100 million for affordable housing, including support for House File 2112 allocating funds to help narrow the racial disparity in home ownership.

Attention Dakota County taxpayers

There is not public awareness or clear communication for the cost to the taxpayers of Dakota County for a greenway bike trail system to go through or around Spring Lake Park Reserve and Lebanon Hills Regional Park. Both of these parks are two rare natural parks left in this entire country. They both have several recreational activities and they are unlike all other parks. The cost for these greenway trails for biking is multi millions more than the $3 million grant, which will go toward the cost of one of the parks. The total amounts are not clearly defined by the plan. One bridge or overpass could cost more than $1 million with several structures needed in the plan because of the terrain and grade within these parks. The maintenance costs of the trails is not included in the approximate cost to build. The public comments show that 90 percent of people commenting do not want paved trails in either of these parks. The planning committee and the county commissioners are not taking public comments into consideration and they are not listening to the citizens who will pay for this costly project. Costly for the money spent and costly for the damage to the wildlife, and natural beauty of these parks. Minimal development with needed land restoration and enhancements would be the best for these parks, for future generations to enjoy.

To the editor: I urge the Dakota PATRICIA LUETH County Parks director, Eagan our county commissioners, and the citizens of Dakota County to please step back and look at the big picture. There was not citizen involvement in the JON KOZNICK planning of a greenway Lakeville bike trail system that is Chair, GOP House Dis- planned for two local trict 58A parks.

Suspect charged in Burnsville liquor store burglary by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The suspect in a Burnsville liquor store burglary was drunk and covered in blood when police stopped his vehicle just after midnight Feb. 19, prosecutors said. Jack C. Bellissimo, 21, of Burnsville, has been charged with felony burglary as well as two counts of DWI in connection with the incident at Big Discount Liquor, 12100 County Road 11. According to the criminal complaint, Burnsville police were called to the liquor store at 12:05 a.m. Feb. 19 on a report of a commercial burglary alarm triggered by front entry to the store. A witness told police a person wearing all black had been seen running from the liquor store to the Colonial Villa Apartments nearby. A short time later, police stopped Bellissimo’s pickup truck after it was observed leaving the

Police said Bellissimo smelled of alcohol, had red glassy eyes and was slurring his speech during the traffic stop. A preliminary breath test showed a blood-alcohol concentration of .21, more than twice the legal limit for driving. Because of his injuries, Bellissimo was first taken to a hospital before being booked into the Dakota County Jail. If convicted of the burglary charge, he faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a fine of $20,000. The two DWI charges he’s facing are misdemeanors that each carry up to 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. His next court appearance is scheduled for May 20 in Hastings.

Man charged in attempted copper theft from Lockheed Martin building A Minneapolis man faces felony charges after allegedly attempting to steal copper from the vacant Lockheed Martin building in Eagan. Austin Jeffrey Jones, 22, of Minneapolis, was charged on Feb. 18 with felony third-degree burglary in connection to the break-in. According to the criminal complaint, an Eagan police officer noticed Jones and another man pulling a sled on Feb. 14 from the Argosy University parking lot at 1515 Central Parkway to the Lockheed Martin property. At some point, they began running toward the

building, which has a “No Trespassing� signed posted outside, and the officer ordered them to stop. When they continued to run, the officer chased them on foot, but was unable to catch up with them before they entered the building. Other officers arrived soon after and set up a perimeter around the building. One of the men’s father came to the scene and told officers that another man and Jones, who had called him, were “scared and wanted to come out.� Eventually, the men agreed to come out and were arrested. Officers found freshly

cut copper piping in the Lockheed Martin building and two bags containing 150 pounds of copper piping on a sidewalk between Argosy and Central Parkway. Jones was convicted of felony motor vehicle theft in 2009 when he was 17 and has misdemeanor convictions for driving without a license and underage alcohol consumption in 2011 and 2012. If convicted, he could face up to five years in prison. No charges have been filed to date against Jones’ alleged accomplice. — Jessica Harper

Rosemount artist wins award at Benedictine Center show Rita Corrigan, a longtime Rosemount resident, won first place in the Juried Art Show at the Benedictine Center in Maplewood for her abstract work, “Superior Sunrise,� which shows the sun breaking through the clouds as reflected in the flowing water. Last year, Corrigan won second place in the art contest with a painting called “Resurrection.� The juried exhibit, called Seeing God, features area artists whose creative process captures a sense of the divine when seeing the world. More than 30 artists submitted their work, which will be on display at St. Paul’s Monastery until March 1. The top three winners share a $375 prize. Corrigan has been painting all her life, focusing most recently on landscapes of northern Minnesota and scenes from travel abroad.

Dakota County Residents invited to apply for Lebanon Hills citizen panel The Dakota County Board of Commissioners is seeking applicants to serve on its Lebanon Hills Regional Park 2014 Master Plan Citizen Panel and review specific elements of the park’s draft 2014 Master Plan to provide comments to the board. The panel – which will consist of no more than 20 members – is expected to meet approximately eight times between April 1 and Dec. 31, with meetings being held in the evenings and likely lasting a maximum of three hours. The board asks that applicants have: • Respect for and interest in the perspectives of other potential park users. • An ability to work toward finding common ground and solutions on a range of controversial and/or complex issues. • Support for the mission of Lebanon Hills Regional Park as serving the diverse outdoor recreation needs

of the Twin Cities metro area and all Dakota County residents. Applications can be mailed to the Senior Administrative Coordinator to the Board, Dakota County Administration Center, 1590 Highway 55, Hastings, Minn., 55033; emailed to board@co.dakota.mn.us; or faxed to 651-438-4405. They must be submitted by the end of the day on March 28. Each commissioner will use the pool of applicants to nominate two representatives to the citizen panel. Their selections will not necessarily come from their respective districts, but will properly represent Dakota County residents and their interests. Selected candidates will be notified by phone or email, and panel appointments will be made April 8.

Open house rescheduled As the result of a snowstorm, the original open house for the ice harvesting display at the Lakeville Area Historical Society has been rescheduled for Thursday, March 6. “From Lake to Home,� is a new window display developed by the LAHS that tells the story of ice harvesters who donned their warmest clothes and headed out on the lakes to cut and preserve blocks of ice for use in warmer weather. The public is invited to view the displays at a special open house from 4-7 p.m. Thursday, March 6, at the Lakeville Heritage Center, 20110 Holyoke Ave. Parking is available both in front and in back of the building, which is handicapped accessible. One window depicts ice cutting carried out in the late 1890s and early 1900s by the Weichselbaum family and neighbors. They

harvested ice for the Weichselbaum Resort, Enggren’s Grocery Store, Pieschel’s Meat Market and their own home use. Tools used by Joseph Weichselbaum are exhibited along with a photo of Chub Lake’s Bullhead Ice Company shed. Another window shows the ice harvesting done by Carl Krause and his crew from about 1915 into the 1930s. Krause and his sons delivered ice to homes, the local creamery and other businesses. The final window includes a kitchen scene complete with an icebox and explanations of home use. Visitors can view a seasonal display of Valentine’s Day cards and a new display about Lakeville Motor Express. The company was started in 1921 by Vincent Wren and still exists today as a large transportation company based in New Brighton. The window display also can be viewed during regular Heritage Center hours, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The main LAHS display area is open to the public from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays.

How to... How to choose a

FUNERAL PLAN It may be a gift to those you love

How to plan

It was Ben Franklin who said nothing is certain but death and taxes. This article does not deal with taxes, but rather the other certainty in life. Everyone dies, so a discussion of funeral planning is never irrelevant. When someone we love dies, there are varying stages of anger, confusion and numbness. The funeral is one of the most significant means we have of dealing with grief. The funeral ritual helps us focus our emotions and brings a sense of meaning to death. It confirms the reality of death and provides a catalyst for mourners to talk about the deceased. Experts tell us being able to talk about the life of a deceased loved one is one of the first steps toward accepting death.

A call to a funeral director or a pre-arrangement specialist probably would be a good beginning in making sure you have covered all your bases in your planning. He or she can lead you through a process to ensure you don’t forget vital information in your plan. Some funeral directors and prearrangement specialists offer free booklets that provide a “punch list” of topics to think through and record your wishes. Topics in these guides include funeral details ranging from visitation to the memorial service and alternatives from burial, cremation or entombment. These are obvious decisions, but other important topics include categories that will provide a helping hand to your family. Additional topics include organizations to be notified with phone numbers, persons to be notified, medical history, estate information, banking information, real estate holdings and insurance policies. Many include obituary information outlines, personal property inventories and special instruction and information pages. There may also be information regarding the importance of your will and how to go about ensuring it is accurate and updated.

Prearranging your funeral Prearranging your funeral is not much different than any other planning you have carried out during your lifetime. You buy insurance in case of fire, flood, theft or death. These coverages are purchased as an act of love and responsibility for those you love in case an unfortunate incident occurs. A pre-planned funeral accomplishes the same goals. A preplanned funeral can prevent your family members from having to make a number of significant decisions at a time when they are confused and upset. They will have enough on their minds dealing with grief without having to make several important decisions in a very short period of time. Experts tell us that there are an average of 50 decisions to be made when arranging a funeral. Adding to the need for preplanning is the fact that our lifestyle is more complex in today’s world. Family members often live in different states, complicating rapid decision making. Further complications stem from frustrations that occur when dealing with government agencies in different states. A solid preplanning session can help prevent these complications which can loom very large during a time of pain and sorrow.

Prefunding your funeral Prefunding your funeral also is an important consideration. Your funeral director or pre-arrangement specialist can show you options which will waive your family from possible financial burden later. You may take out a life insurance policy which would cover funeral expenses, or invest in a funeral trust account or final expense insurance policy. In most cases, funds invested today would be enough to cover the total cost of the funeral since interest earned by the funds will offset the effect of inflation. Government regulations safeguard your investment so funds will always be available for use. Another important part in your plan is to make sure your loved

ones know where your recorded wishes can be found. Millions of dollars in government and insurance death benefits go unclaimed because family members do not know where to find information they need at the time of death. Some considerations that also need to remain in the forefront of the pre-planning agenda: • Social Security: When a loved one dies, dependents and survivors may be eligible for certain benefits such as death payments, survivor’s benefits and Medicare. Qualifications depend on several factors such as age, marital status, number of dependent and whether employment was under Social Security. Your Social Security account should be verified periodically to ensure contributions are posted. All benefits must be applied for since payments are not automatic. • Veterans Benefits: Honorably discharged veterans are entitled to benefits that may affect decisions about funeral arrangements. For example, veterans may qualify for a cemetery plot and burial allowances, a headstone and burial flag, as well as pension for survivors. • Medicaid: Having a properly structured prepaid funeral is a very important reason why preplanning a funeral is imperative. If an individual has placed their funds into a prepaid funeral plans, after they have itemized a funeral pre-arrangement, the money would most likely be protected 100% from paying for any nursing home costs. In most cases they can also pay for burial space items for their immediate family members. Each persons situations is unique and laws change, however, most funeral directors and pre-arrangement specialists work closely with Elder Law Attorneys who keep them updated on current Medical Assistance laws.

City officials are keen to retain Abdallah Candies, whose products — principally Abdallah Candies President Steven Hegedus, who learned candymaking as a boy, chocolates and caramels — can be found on store shelves across the Upper Midwest visited with some of the workers at the Burnsville factory.

Abdallah Candies looks to expand Burnsville hopes to retain longtime Dakota County business by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Steady growth has Abdallah Candies, a fixture in Burnsville for nearly 50 years, seeking larger quarters for its factory and retail shop. The search could end with the storied candymaker and family business leaving the city it’s called home since 1965. Or not. City officials are keen to retain the company, whose products — principally chocolates and caramels — can be found on store shelves across the Upper Midwest and the nation. Mayor Elizabeth Kautz even gave Abdallah a shout-out during her Feb. 12 State of the City address, saying the city is working with the company on its expansion plans. Abdallah President Steven Hegedus, who employs about 120 people, says he’d prefer to stay in Burnsville. “Burnsville is strongly supportive of our business. If there’s a way we can do that, we will,� said the Savage resident, who’s been making candy since childhood. “That’s one reason why we’re considering many options in Burnsville. But we also have to be realistic and do what

makes sense for the business. If Burnsville can’t accommodate, then we have to look elsewhere.� He said he wants to keep the company in the Twin Cities and is scouting locations “south of the river.� Abdallah is located in a 65,000-squarefoot building on the southwest corner of County Road 42 and Burnsville Parkway. Some 40,000 cars pass daily on 42, a boon for the retail store, where business is especially brisk around Valentine’s Day, Christmas and Easter, Hegedus said. The challenge to staying in Burnsville, he said, is finding a good retail spot that can also accommodate the 1 0 0 , 0 0 0 - s q u a re - fo o t building needed for production to keep pace with sales growth. “The retail operations are still very profitable and we want to keep a good presence, so the location is important,� Hegedus said. Known to many as “Abdallah’s,� the company has had several prominent locations during its 104-year history. It began as a small candy and ice cream shop at Hennepin Avenue and Lake Street in south Minneapolis. The founders were Albert

Abdallah, a Syrian immigrant, and his new bride, the former Helen Trovall from Monticello, Minn. The shop grew to include a restaurant and soda fountain. The end of Prohibition moved much of its customer base back into the bars, and the couple closed the business in 1935. But Albert, who learned his candymaking skills in America, continued to make candy for select clients while trying to rebuild the business. Abdallah reopened, without the restaurant, in 1937 on West Lake Street near Lake Calhoun, a few blocks from the old location. “The trolley stop was Hennepin and Lake,�

Hegedus said. “People would get off on that corner, walk to Lake Calhoun, and they would promenade back and forth by his ice creamcandy store.� Abdallah eventually asked his son-in-law, Glen Oletzke, to join the business. Oletzke was the father-in-law of Steven Hegedus’ father, Stephen, who also joined the family business with his wife, Vicke. Oletzke was Steven Hegedus’ grandfather. The business’ next location, at 38th Street and Cedar Avenue, was a victim of fate. Oletzke and Stephen Hegedus moved there in the mid-’50s. In 1964, a spectacular fire caused by an overturned gas tanker truck destroyed part of the building and much of the inventory. Though they briefly

maintained a retail store at that location, Oletzke and Hegedus looked south to Burnsville to build a new candy factory in 1965, the year Steven Hegedus was born. “Grandpa taught me how to make marshmallow,� he said. “Dad trained me in candymaking. At 10, 11, 12, I was making candy. I didn’t think it was a job. It was fun.� The new location at 12220 12th Ave. S., east of Burnsville High School, proved to be a winner. A U.S. Post Office was soon built next to Abdallah Candies. “Even though we were more in an industrial side of town, people found us because we were next to the post office,� Hegedus said. “You always make it to the post office one time or another.� The company began wholesaling its candy in the late 1970s, partly in response to Fanny Farmer shuttering its wholesale operation, he said. “Their decision to stop wholesaling to retailers left a big demand for boxed chocolates in drugstores and gift shops and places like that, which we filled,� he said. His father took pains to grow the business slowly, never taking on more accounts than he could service, Hegedus said. But grow it did. The company moved to County Road 42

in 1997, starting with 30,000 square feet and four years later building 35,000 more. Abdallah Candies’ account ledger has grown to 7,000 nationwide, Hegedus said. The company has quadrupled its output since 1997, to about 2 million pounds of candy a year, he said. It powered through the recession; candy and alcohol are mostly immune to such downturns, Hegedus said. “It’s making really good candy,� he said, explaining the company’s success. “It’s focusing on the second sale, never the first. Everything’s repeat business with what we do.� Hegedus hopes to have a new location chosen within a couple of months and new space built within a year. “If we’re going to keep up with demand, we know we can’t do it in this facility,� said Hegedus, whose wife, Karen, runs accounting and human resources for the company and whose three college-age sons have also worked in the business. “It’s more our customers driving our decision than us. If I could stay here I think I would, in these four walls, but we won’t be able to make our customers happy.� John Gessner can be reached at 952-846-2031 or email john.gessner@ecm-inc.com.

Sports North, Farmington in section hockey final by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

For the first time since 2009, there will not be a Lakeville North vs. Lakeville South final in the Section 1AA boys hockey tournament. No. 1-seeded Lakeville North will be in the championship game – and will seek its third consecutive Section 1AA title – after winning its first two section games by a combined 18-2. But this time the opponent will be No. 2-seeded Farmington, which defeated Lakeville South 5-4 in a semifinal game Monday night on Austin Martinsen’s goal at 4:50 of the second overtime. The Panthers and Tigers will play for the section title at 7 p.m. Thursday at Rochester Rec Center. Both teams have had long undefeated streaks this season. The victory over Lakeville South stretched Farmington’s winning streak to 18 games and its undefeated streak to 19. Both are the longest current streaks in the state. Lakeville North had a

13-game winning streak and 19-game undefeated streak before losing to Prior Lake in its last regularseason game. Farmington (23-3-1) appeared to be in dire straits after falling behind Lakeville South 4-1 in the second period. Goals by Justin Novak, Jack Erickson and Tanner Grubb brought the Tigers even and set up Martinsen’s game-winner in the second overtime. Patrick Lauderdale, Drew Byers, Tony Dahlberg and Andrew Cook scored for Lakeville South, which finished 9-18. Nick Swaney had two assists. Lakeville North fired 68 shots on goal, including 30 in the third period, in its 7-1 semifinal victory over Owatonna last Saturday. Jack Poehling scored twice for the Panthers (224-1), and Tristen Hazlett had a goal and two assists. In a quarterfinal game Feb. 21, North outshot Dodge County 62-11 en route to an 11-1 victory. Jack Poehling – one of three Poehling brothers on the roster – scored a hat trick, and Nick Poehling had a goal and two assists.

Cougars even the score

The Lakeville teams have identical records in conference play (12-5) and overall (17-8) with one regular-season game remaining. They share third place in the conference. Lakeville South’s victory Tuesday gave the Cougars a split of the season series with their crosstown rivals. (Photo by Jim Lindquist/sidekick.smugmug.com)

Panthers muster enthusiasm for third-place game North leaves state girls hockey tourney with 2 wins by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The U.S. Olympic men’s hockey team looked dispirited in its bronze medal game, but later Saturday the Lakeville North girls found a reason to care about playing for third place. Lakeville North scored twice in the first 10 minutes and put away Eden Prairie 5-1 to win the third-place trophy at the state Class AA tournament at the Xcel Energy Center. It matches North’s best state tournament finish; the Panthers also placed third last year. “It’s pride,” senior forward Alexis Joyce said. “We could have come out and played like we didn’t want to be here, but that’s not what this team is about. We care about third place. We care about finishing (the state tournament) with two wins and one loss, and we wanted to show we should have been

The Panthers, however, considered themselves legitimate contenders for the state championship. They survived a quarterfinal game against fifthseeded Mounds View,

prevailing 3-2 on Morgan Manes’ goal in the third overtime. No. 1 seed Benilde-St. Margaret’s held off North 2-1 in the semifinals last Friday before losing to Hill-Murray 5-2 in the championship game Saturday night. “I knew our kids would give it their best effort” in the third-place game,

North coach Buck Kochevar said. “You never have to worry about that with these kids.” Senior forward Maddie McGlade scored two firstperiod goals against Eden Prairie. Joyce and Heidi Winiecki also scored, and senior defender Dani Sadek had a goal and two assists.

North gymnasts turn in their season-high score Team takes 6th at state; Berg 10th in all-around by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lakeville North finished sixth of eight teams at the state Class AA gymnastics meet, but the Panthers’ score was their best of the season, so they weren’t inclined to complain. The Panthers’ total of 144.7 at the Feb. 21 state meet at the University of Minnesota was 1.55 better than their winning score at the Section 2AA meet one week earlier. But the competition was tough at state as the top two teams, Roseville and Northfield, exceeded 150 points. Section 3AA champion Rosemount, the other South Suburban Conference team that qualified for state, placed fourth. Balance beam caused the Panthers some problems in the Section 2AA meet, and beam was their first event at state. They had the sixth-highest team score in the event, with Cali Berg (9.275) and Emma Johnson (9.2)

earning the top individual scores. North’s best event was floor exercise, where it scored 37.525 and had four individual scores of 9.15 or better. Megan Lemley (9.525), Berg (9.5), Johnson (9.35) and Alyssa Woodbury (9.15) counted toward the team score on floor. Johnson and Lemley both scored 9.373 on vault to lead their team. Berg had 9.325 on bars. It was North’s second appearance in the state team competition in three years and the school’s 18th overall. Lakeville High School and Lakeville North teams have won 10 state championships.

Benilde-St. Margaret’s forward Kelly Pannek scored at 3:37 of the second period of the semifinal game against North, and it proved to be the game-winner. Sadek’s goal with 11 seconds left in the first period tied the game 1-1. Manes deflected a shot by Sadek into the Mounds View net at 59 seconds of the third overtime of the state quarterfinals. The goal came after many fans had gone home because of a rapidly developing snowstorm. The quarterfinal game had the potential to revive bad memories of the Panthers’ six-overtime loss to Minnetonka in the 2013 state tournament. What’s more, North lost a twogoal lead, had a goal disallowed after a video review and saw a Mounds View goal upheld following another review. “We’d like to win these games in three periods, but it wasn’t meant to be,” Kochevar said. Manes didn’t immediately realize she scored the winner against Mounds View. “I looked around and

Maddie (McGlade) said, ‘You just scored!’ I said, ‘OK’,” Manes recalled with a smile. North’s Sadek, McGlade and Taylor Flaherty were named to the all-tournament team. A core group of seniors including Joyce, McGlade, Winiecki and Sadek helped lead the Panthers to a 24-5-2 record. “Their biggest contribution was their hard work and dedication on and off the ice,” Kochevar said. “They kept our younger players focused, and hopefully those kids will learn from it.” Joyce joined the North program in ninth grade after transferring from Apple Valley. McGlade described the Panthers seniors as a close-knit group. “We’ve played together for so long, we’re used to each other,” McGlade said. “One thing about us is we never give up. Our younger girls have a lot to live up to, but they’re good players.” Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

SURVEY, from 1A participation rates, particularly among high school students, Ouillette said. About of about half the high school students in grades 9 and 12 took the survey in 2010. After requiring parents to opt their students out of the survey, 75 percent of last year’s juniors and 87 percent of 2013 ninthgraders took it. The increase also translated to elementary children, which already had high participation rates, according to the district. Nearly all — 97 percent — of the district’s fifthgrade class took the 2013 survey, up from 82 percent of the district’s sixth-graders in 2010. The survey was also given to younger students last year than in previous years, going from students in grades 6, 9 and 12 to grades 5, 8, 9 and 11. Because some of the questions were deemed inappropriate for the younger students, the fifth- and eighth-grade versions of the survey were shorter than the version given to 11th-grade students, according to the Minnesota

groups. The state also asked children if they live with anyone who drinks too much alcohol, uses illegal drugs or abuses prescription drugs and if a parent or other adult in the home regularly swears at them, insults them or puts them down. Volk said, under Lakeville School District policy, written parental permission is required for students to take surveys that involve issues of morality. Questions were raised about what constitutes a moral question. “I contend that by asking if you have a family member that is taking drugs, drinking or swearing you’re getting into morality issues,” Volk said. Ouillette denied that the questions were based on morality. “Nobody’s asking them whether it’s right or wrong,” Ouillette said. “It’s a factual question. Is this true or not true?” School Board Chair Roz Peterson said concerns were prompted because the survey questions changed so drastically from prior years.

“What came up as concerns is that I don’t believe (in prior surveys) that we asked questions about people’s parents and their behaviors as much,” Peterson said. Volk said she would take action to make parents aware. “I’m going to make an issue out of it in the future,” Volk said. “I’m sending the survey back to Rep. (Mary Liz) Holberg who is on the Data Privacy Committee.

SUN THISWEEK - Lakeville February 28, 2014 19A

HOLBERG, from 1A One regulates the storage and use of license plate images taken by police and another strengthens medical privacy protections. Since she was elected in 1998, Holberg has built a reputation as a tough fiscal conservative, leading the powerful Ways and Means Committee after Republicans swept the House and Senate in the 2010 election. Her solid grasp of budget details has impressed many, including state Rep. Patrick Garofalo, R-Farmington, who was unanimously re-endorsed by Republican delegates for House District 58B at the convention. Garofalo called Holberg’s announcement “a huge loss for the conservative movement and the state of Minnesota.� “There are few people who have her level of subject matter expertise,� Garofalo said, “especially on the budget.� He said he is grateful for the support of the Republican Party through the endorsement. He called it “the first step to what I hope will be a very successful 2014 for Republicans up and down the ballot. Minnesotans are fed up with one-party control and the disastrous results that have followed in the form of ObamaCare, skyrocketing taxes, and hundreds of millions in wasteful spending.� State Sen. Dave Thompson, who came in second in the GOP straw poll to challenge Gov. Mark Dayton in November, said Holberg served as an inspiration to him when he first was elected to the Senate in 2010. “I was honored to become her colleague,� Thompson said. “She was someone I could look at and feel that if I were to do things the way she did them, I was probably was going to be a good legislator.� Holberg’s friend,

Lakeville School Board Member Michelle Volk, credited Holberg for sticking to her conservative principles in her 16 years while DFLers usually held the House majority. “Some of those sessions were pretty tough,� Volk said. “I also appreciate how she’s admired by the other side as somebody who’s fair and principled. You always know where she stands, whether you agree with her or not.� Holberg said when she was first elected she made a point to do her research and be well prepared. She said she worked hard to understand her political opponents’ perspectives, helped in part by her upbringing that included her large family caring for a steady stream of foster children. “It was not unusual for us to have 10-12 kids in our house,� Holberg said. “And the number one rule was if you’re unhappy, you couldn’t complain unless you’re willing to offer a solution and work to do something to change it. That value stuck with me.� As for the budget, Holberg said she has always been good with numbers and devoted herself to finding the answers she needed to make good policy decisions. Garofalo called Holberg “an aggressive defender of the taxpayer� who has also stood up for data privacy issues. “Given the recent NSA (data privacy violations), it really demonstrates she’s ahead of her time,� he said. Lakeville School Board Chair Roz Peterson, who is running against Rep. Will Morgan, DFL-Burnsville, for the neighboring 56B House seat, said she was disappointed to hear Holberg is leaving the House. “Mary Liz has been a huge asset to our community,� Peterson said. “You ask a lot of people close to the Capitol process, and they’ll tell you Mary Liz Holberg is an incredibly

smart ‌ effective legislator who has done a lot for privacy rights and transportation issues. She also has a lot of institutional knowledge from being such a big part of the process for such a long time.â€? Some have suggested Peterson may move into Holberg’s district to run unopposed, a notion she dismissed. “I would never have dreamed of moving,â€? Peterson said. “I’m not going to move. I’m committed to my area.â€? Senate District 58 Republican Party Caucus President Randy Pronschinske said Holberg struggled with the decision to step down, and talked to him about it the night before the convention. “She was torn on what to do,â€? he said. “It was hard.â€? Pronschinske called her resignation “sadâ€? and described Holberg an accomplished legislator who has gotten results. “She’s been an extremely conservative representative in the House,â€? he said. “She’s supported her constituents extremely well.â€? He said he expects eight to 10 candidates to seek the Republican endorsement for the seat Holberg’s resignation opens. Three individuals have already indicated to Pronschinske their intention to seek the endorsement, he said, declining to name them until they decide to announce. The district will hold a second convention to endorse a candidate for the race, likely to be held sometime during April 8-12, Pronschinske said. He noted that timeline will allow the meeting before the state convention and give potential candidates time to decide whether to run. “It’s a big decision,â€? he said.

B & B, from 1A the council was considering an ordinance that would essentially ban his bed-and-breakfast, which according to the airbnb. com website he and his wife have been operating since at least September 2011 when the first of 20 glowing reviews of their business were posted. The Lakeville ordinance as proposed would allow boarding houses to operate under an administrative permit, with a maximum of two boarders at a time for at least 30 days stay, allowing homeowners to rent rooms as a second income. Renting rooms for less HENS, from 1A idea that had been discussed but rejected by the council several times in the past few years. City Planner Daryl Morey said some residents want chickens to teach children how to care for a productive animal, others are looking for ways to save on grocery bills. The council considered various regulations other cities like Burnsville and Farmington have enacted that define how and where urban birds are kept. Burnsville, Farmington and Eagan have standards for minimum coop and run design standards,

MARIJUANA, from 2A increase in youth marijuana use since the laws’ enactment, but several of the states have reported overall decreases. Backstrom and Bellows say approving medical marijuana sends the wrong message to youths. They say that approving it for legal use will lead to the perception that marijuana is harmless.

than 30 days would not be allowed under the ordinance, the caveat that would end Snider’s bedand-breakfast business. Council members cited concerns about the language that could have interfered with families who want to house-swap for vacation purposes, rent it for temporary housing, do foster care or participate in a foreign exchange program. They asked staff to specify ordinance language so that it disallow hotel-style operations in neighborhoods. City Council Member Bart Davis said he understands people should be able to do what they want

with their property, but a “quasi-hotel� could cause problems. “I wouldn’t want to be living next to someone running a boarding house,� Davis said. “But on the other hand I think we have to be really careful that we’re not restricting something that is a realistic activity for a resident to do.� Little said staff will refine the language and bring it back for Planning Commission review before it goes before the City Council again.

and they also require permits and regular inspections by animal control officers, according to the city. None of the cities allow beekeeping on property that is not zoned agricultural. Staff will review options and return this spring with a proposed ordinance for consideration. Although city staff reported none of the nine cities with chicken ordinances that were reviewed have had problems or complaints from neighbors, Council Members Colleen LaBeau and Bart Davis were opposed to the idea for Lakeville.

Davis said farm animals do not belong in urban areas; LaBeau said chickens could cause conflicts with dog and cat owners, and did not support Lakeville police devoting time to manage issues that may arise. Little said the policy should be strict enough so neighbors do not infringe on each other’s ability to enjoy their property. He also emphasized that city code needs to identify the only chickens that would be allowed would be hens. “No roosters,� he said.

“It seem incongruous to me we spent all this time and effort reducing tobacco use and now we have this laissez-faire approach to marijuana,� Backstrom said. Marijuana has many more potential harmful impacts than smoking, Backstrom said. He said studies have shown that heavy marijuana users report declines in IQ, attention span and memory.

Backstrom said marijuana is a gateway drug to more serious substances like cocaine and methamphetamine. “I can probably count on my hand the number of people who are in jail because of more serious drug crime who didn’t also use marijuana,� he said.

SUN THISWEEK - Lakeville February 28, 2014 21A

Thisweekend ‘Wolves’ takes off running Rosemount author’s debut novel nominated for Minnesota Book Award by Andrew Miller

“

SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Cary Griffith’s first foray into fiction has landed the Rosemount author in some elite company. His novel “Wolves,� published last year, was named one of the four finalists for the Minnesota Book Award in genre fiction last month. “Wolves� tells the story of a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service agent investigating wolf depredation of livestock on the Iron Range. The investigation takes a dark turn with the mysterious death of the agent’s estranged father. The three other Minnesota Book Award finalists for genre fiction — Erin Hart, author of “The Book of Killowen�; Brian Freeman, “The Cold Nowhere�; and William Kent Krueger, “Tamarack County� — are all past winners in that category. Considering the company he’s in, Griffith described his chances of winning the award as “extremely dark horse.� “It would frankly shock me if I won,� he said. His tone of deference for the other nominees belies his own accomplishments as an author. Griffith won a Minnesota Book Award in 2011 for “Opening Goliath,� his nonfiction book about the discovery and exploration of Goliath Cave in southeastern Minnesota. He’s also the author of “Lost in the Wild,� a chilling journalis-

If you’re a working stiff like me, you’ve got to find time to write. Since I was 18 I’ve been doing this. I wake up early and I write for at least an hour before anybody else wakes up. I’m a huge coffee nut in the morning — it is fuel for my morning efforts.

�– Cary Griffith ROSEMOUNT AUTHOR

tic account of two hikers’ brushes with death after losing their way in the wilderness. A marketing manager for a Minneapolis-based human resources company, Griffith said he does the bulk of his writing in the early morning hours before his daily commute. “If you’re a working stiff like me, you’ve got to find time to write,� he said. “Since I was 18 I’ve been doing this. I wake up early and I write for at least an hour before anybody else wakes up. I’m a huge coffee nut in the morning — it is fuel for my morning efforts.� “Wolves� is the first in a planned series of novels featuring

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service agent Sam Rivers. Griffith completed work late last year on ethe second novel in the set ries, which is set in the Minnesota River Valley, and he’s currently looking at his publication options. He’ll know this spring if he’ll be able to list “two-time Minnesota Book Award� winner on his resume, with this year’s winners being announced at an April 5 gala in St. Paul. More about Griffith’s books is at www.caryjgriffith.com. Email Andrew Miller andrew.miller@ecm-inc.com.
