Staked-off dog park awaits funds, fencing by Dennis Dalman news@thenewsleaders.com
The Pinecone Central Park Dog Park is now staked off, but it still needs funds and fencing. Last week, four volunteers pounded stakes into the perimeter that will – hopefully soon – be a fence. Organizers hope to have two separate fenced-off areas in the nearly five-acre dog park – one area for large dogs, the other for smaller breeds. Those who pounded in stakes are DogPAC members Mark Dockery (lead fundraiser), Kim George (chair), her husband Rod Neuenschwander and their son, Mason. DogPAC is a group of volunteers formed last year to help raise funds for the project. The group’s goal is $150,000, which would cover several phases of the project, including the fencing, a water line to the park, a shade shelter and a rules sign. The City of Sartell doPark • page 3

Chief receives Meritorious Service medal by Dennis Dalman news@thenewsleaders.com
Cited for his leadership and quality service to the city’s safety, Sartell Police Chief Jim Hughes received a Meritorious Service medal from the city council at its June 9 meeting. In a brief ceremony before the council meeting, Sartell
Mayor Joe Perske presented the medal, and police officer Dale Struffert pinned it to Hughes’ uniHughes form. Perske said Hughes has shown expertise in providing

The dog park will be developed at the north end of the park between the park’s large parking lot and Pinecone Road. It will be a place where dogs and owners can walk, romp and roam. The DogPAC group also plans to hold special events, such as training sessions, special speakers and equipment demonstrations by dog-related businesses. “We hope people donate whatever they can afford, even if it’s a small amount,” said DogPAC chair Kim George. “Soon, we’re going to do some mass mailings to dog owners in Sartell to try to raise some more funds.” There is a core group of eight people in DogPAC, and they hope to get more dog enthusiasts and dog owners involved with their efforts.

Mobile food vendors get green light by Dennis Dalman news@thenewsleaders.com
Food-vending vehicles will now be allowed to do business in Sartell – with certain restrictions. The Sartell City Council at its June 9 meeting voted to approve a mobile food-vending ordinance that allows such vehicles to sell foods that are prepared inside the vehicles. Previously, the city has always allowed mobile food vendors to sell pre-packaged foods in the city, such as ice-cream vending trucks, but not food
prepared on the spot. Examples of vending trucks with food prepared within them are trucks that would sell pizza, tacos, sandwiches and various finger foods. Typically, such trucks park in the parking lots of companies, with company permission, so workers can grab a bit to eat during lunch breaks. The vote for the ordinance was 4-0. Council member Amy Braig-Lindstrom was not at the meeting. Sartell Planner and Developer Anita Rasmussen outlined the restrictions for mo-
bile food vendors. They would have to obtain from the city a permit to operate and would have to get permission from property owners if they park on private property. They can park on streets only where parking is now permitted and must park 50 feet or more from intersections so as not to interfere with motorists’ and pedestrians’ views of those intersections. There are also restrictions that signage can be only on the vending truck itself, not outside and freestanding by Vendors • page 4

The pools will be shut down if there is the sound of thunder or if the weather appears to look threatening, with rain imminent. If there is a sudden storm, children will accompany the lifeguard into a shelter – the public bathrooms. The staffing of the pools with YMCA lifeguards is the result of an agreement between the YMCA and the Sartell City

Vendors from page 3 the vehicle. Sound, such as bells or whistles, won’t be permitted. Council member Sarah Jane Nicoll asked Rasmussen about the music played by ice-cream vendor trucks. Rasmussen said the city occasionally received complaints about such music but the ordinance is hard to enforce because when the vehicles stop for business, the music stops too. She said staff hopes to get more compliance with sound restrictions through education. The council members had many questions about competition with other food vendors and restaurants. There is a provision in the ordinance that would require the vending trucks to park at least 50 feet away from food businesses in the city. Rasmussen said city staff consulted the Sartell
Area Chamber of Commerce before writing the ordinance. Responses ranged from the vendors should be allowed to park anywhere because of the free-market, free-enterprise concept to unfair competition with food businesses who pay city taxes. Other cities, Rasmussen said, have parking restrictions near businesses from none up to 500 feet. Council member Nicoll said she is opposed to the 50-foot parking restriction near businesses. They are really no different from other businesses that compete with one another, she noted. During the council discussion, which was a public hearing, a man in the audience – a Sartell resident – said he is opposed to the parking restriction near food businesses. That, he said, is like telling prospective restaurants they cannot build next to other restaurants. Council members other than Nicoll said they have no problems with the 50-foot

Mayor Joe Perske said he is concerned such food vendors could interfere with the concession stand at Pinecone Central Park. Proceeds from those concession sales generate revenue to help operate the park through the Pinecone Central Park Association. Perske said he also has a problem with trucks competing with other food vendors of nonprofit agencies during city festivals, such as SummerFest. Nicoll, again, said mobile food vendors are no different than other food establishments and they would provide just one more welcome option for festival-goers. Rasmussen said any mobile food vendors would have to get permission to operate in the parking lot of Pinecone Central Park and that permission would probably not be granted in that case. In addition, festival organizers would have to give permission for such vendors to operate on festival grounds. Rasmussen noted both the city planning commission and the Sartell Economic Development Commission recommended approval of the ordinance.

From left to right are Mike Sullivan, Dewey Sullivan, Pat Sullivan and Colleen (Sullivan) Schwegel.
At 90, Sullivan keeps fit as a fiddle by Dennis Dalman news@thenewsleaders.com
At a spry 90 years old, Dewey “Sully” Sullivan won’t use the elevator at his assisted-living home, the Legends of Heritage Place, in Sartell. He prefers to walk up and down the stairs. And he also loves to go to The Legends’ exercise classes. That might explain why Sullivan, who is nearly as old as the City of Sartell, is so healthy and so alert for his age. Recently, his family and friends hosted a surprise 90th birthday party for him at the House of Pizza in Sartell. “Dad is the nicest man in the world,” said his daughter, Colleen Schwegel of St. Joseph. “Just ask anybody. He’s so calm. Always on an even keel. He seldom gets mad or angry. When mom was ill, he took such good care of her and never once complained about it.” Born in Montevideo, Sulli-
van moved to the St. CloudSartell area as a young man to begin working at Sears and Roebuck, first in downtown St. Cloud, later at the Crossroads mall. Sullivan kept that job for 30 years. For many years, he lived in a house on Riverside Drive in Sartell, then on 1st Avenue just off of Riverside Drive and later in the Oak Hill Apartments. Most Sartell old-timers know Sullivan well. He was at one time the Sartell village clerk when people would go to his house to pay their water bills. He also owned and operated Sully’s True Value Hardware in the Riverside Shopping Plaza. His wife, Irene (Shank), was raised with 12 other siblings in a house within a block from the old Sartell School, now the school district’s Services Building. Irene passed away in December 2011. Sullivan served in the U.S. Air Force as an airplane ball-
turret gunner, one of the most dangerous jobs in the military. Sullivan, who was honored with many medals, was happy to go on a Freedom Flight in 2012 to Washington, D.C. to see the war monuments and other sites with fellow veterans. It was, he said, “an incredible and amazing trip.” Sullivan likes to go to casinos now and then, and he loves to watch sports on TV – any sports except golf. The Sullivans have three children: Mike, Pat and Colleen. Mike and Cecelia Sullivan live in Walnut Creek, Calif.; Pat and Kathy Sullivan live in Sartell and have four children – Shane, Blake, Mitchell, Caitlin; Colleen and Rob Schwegel live in St. Joseph. They have a daughter Cassie, whose boy, born on Christmas Day 2011, was named Sully after his greatgrandfather. Colleen and Rob’s son Chad and his wife Tishel, have one daughter, Tanya.

‘Now Hiring’ signs as welcome as robin’s, spring’s harbingers It’s so good to see “Now Hiring” signs in the windows and lobbies of so many businesses in the area lately. Like robins in spring, those signs are a good omen that a springtime of economic recovery is arriving in this area, this state, this country. Nationwide, the unemployment rate is 6.3 percent, according to the U.S. Labor Department. That’s disappointing, of course, because the “normal” unemployment rate is considered to be about 4 percent in non-recessionary times. In Minnesota, we’re doing better than the national average, with the unemployment rate under 5 percent. This has been the slowest recovery in history, according to economic experts. It’s not surprising, considering the depths of the 2008 economic catastrophe, when the entire banking system, weakened by reckless speculations, unethical chicanery and corrupt practices, hovered at the edge of a cliff. Once again, we the taxpayers had to come to the rescue when it was decided the banks were “too big to fail.” The good economic news – at least as regards employment data – has slowly but surely improved. In the past six months, hiring has increased – to the tune of 200,000 or more hires each month. In May, that number was 217,000, more than expected by economic forecasters. Since February 2010, nearly 9 million jobs were added in the nation. However, the down side is many high school and college graduates and others who recently entered the work force are still seeking jobs that don’t seem to be there. The down news is the population of work-age people increased, and there is more evidence many people, discouraged at not finding a job, have dropped out of the work force and are probably depending upon friends or family. So what we have in the economic picture is a kind of teeter-totter of good news/bad news. For example, the four-week average for new unemployment claims in the past few months is 310,250. That’s the lowest level in six years, says the Labor Department, but, all the same, that’s way too many people out of work. The good news is the stock market continues to do well and 401k investments are earning money; the bad news is Wall Street successes outpace Main Street successes and money at the top is generally not being reinvested in ways that create jobs on the lower rungs. In other words, the ol’ vaunted “trickledown” theory, so heralded in the 1980s, is not working. Money is not circulating and re-circulating the way it should be. Economists argue fiercely about the causes of that, but whatever the cause, it’s a major ongoing problem if this country wants to maintain and grow its vital middle class. We can resign ourselves, with some satisfaction, to the fact the good news in recent months is better than expected and the bad news is not as bad as we’d feared. In the meantime, let’s keep our fingers crossed. It’s time for some guarded optimism. Yes, indeed, there is hope rising after so many bleak economic seasons. It’s like watching the sun rise and flowers blooming after enduring a long, miserable winter.

Opinion What’s the big deal with Bob Dylan?
Some young people these days – people under 60 – have asked me, “What’s the big deal with Bob Dylan? What makes him so great?” I can understand their questions because most haven’t heard a lot of Dylan songs, and others don’t like his singing voice. I try to explain to young doubters why Dylan is so special. Here’s why: • The brilliance of his lyrics in songs are often composed of utterly original blendings of street slang, intense poetry, biblical references and allusions to a wild profusion of sources (to name just some: card games, carnival images, politics, visual art, courtrooms, jails, storybook characters, outlaws, saints, the animal world, landscapes). • His raw-but-evocative singing style. He’ll never make the Sunday choir, but his voice is perfectly suited to evoke the subtle nuances of the meanings and emotions in his songs. • The staggering variety of musical genres he explored, absorbed and reconfigured, including his stunning marriage of folk with rock. • His audacious way of thumbing his nose at convention, breaking the rules and making up his own time and again. • His uncanny knack for expressing what’s “really” happening beneath the surface of society and in “reading” the future like a cranky, wise prophet. • Last not least, (and this can’t be said about many singers-songwriters), Dylan’s songs have changed the way we see and react to the world around us. He is one of the most quoted writers since Shakespeare. I’ve long considered him a modern, hipster Shakespeare. Music in the last century (at least popular music) can be divided into B.D. and A.D. (Before Dylan and After Dylan – post 1963). It’s a far cry
Dennis Dalman Editor from “Hot diggity, dog diggity, boom, what you do to me . . . “ (Hot Diggity, 1956, Perry Como) to “They’re selling postcards of the hanging; they’re painting the passports brown; the beauty parlor’s filled with sailors, the circus is in town . . . “ (Desolation Row, 1965, Dylan) This is from a B.D. song, Little Deuce Coupe, 1962, Beach Boys. “Well I’m not braggin’, babe, so don’t put me down But I’ve got the fastest set of wheels in town When something comes up to me he don’t even try Cause if I had a set of wings, man, I know she could fly She’s my little deuce coupe . . . “ Like many Beach Boys songs, that one’s a toe-tapping charmer, but it’s just about like every other pop tune of its time: sophomoric lyrics, teen-oriented, basically “bubble gum.” Here’s a verse from a Dylan song, Highway 61 Revisited, 1965. “Oh, God said to Abraham, ‘Kill me a son.’ Abe says, ‘Man, you must be puttin’ me on.’ God say ‘No.” Abe say ‘What?’ God say, ‘You can do what you want Abe, but The next time you see me comin’ you better run.’ Well, Abe says, ‘Where you want this killin’ done?’
God says, ‘Out on Highway 61.’ That jaunty, nerve-jangling rockblues gem showed a new, complex way of songwriting. Dylan alludes to the Bible’s Abraham-Isaac story, but he frames it in a startling “hip” modern context complete with street slang, with the third line echoing the rhythm of a “knock-knock-who’s-there?” joke. The song is sinister, but it’s couched in Dylan’s trademark sly, cheeky, hipster humor. Here’s the opening from an A.D. song, A Whiter Shade of Pale, 1967, Procol Harum: “We skipped the light fandango, turned cartwheels ‘cross the floor. I was feeling kinda seasick but the crowd called out for more. The room was humming harder as the ceiling flew away . . . “ That song’s kind of hushed, mysterious, surrealistic lyrics, evoking a post-midnight mood, are definitely influenced by Dylan. It’s similar to his breathtaking surreal hymn, Visions of Johanna, 1966. In this A.D. world, a lot of music is obviously not influenced by Dylan, at least not directly, although some claim that even rap music can be traced way back to Dylan’s Subterranean Homesick Blues, 1964. Diehard Dylan fans (dubbed “Bobsters” these days) know how difficult it is to explain or to summarize his achievements. Those songs, more than 1,000 of them thus far, are so original, so varied, so dazzling, so influential it takes the breath away. Suffice to say some of the very best songwriters-singers in the world wouldn’t be working their magic if a young Minnesota college drop-out hadn’t grabbed his guitar, bound for glory in Greenwich Village way back in 1959.
Russia’s energy market is running on fumes by Chris Faulkner Guest writer
Russian president Vladmir Putin has won some begrudging admiration for his strategic triumph during the Syria crisis. Let him have his moment. It won’t last long. A new development threatens to rob Putin of a significant part of his international heft. That development, of course, is America’s energy revolution. By ExxonMobil’s estimates, natural gas is on track to becoming the secondlargest energy source in the world by 2025, outpacing even coal. And the United States just became the biggest natural gas producer on the globe, overtaking – you guessed it – Russia. While the United States will benefit economically, politically and diplomatically from this energy revolution, Russia will come out the biggest loser. Start with simple economics. As much as 40 percent of Russia’s economy is dependent on its oil and gas sales. According to some experts, the U.S. shale boom could undermine this source of growth, causing Russian oil exports to plummet by as much as 25 percent during the next several years as other nations embrace the American energy alternative. There’s a political factor at play, too. The post-Soviet government has sought a social contract that goes something like this: The Kremlin will ensure economic stability, just so long as the citizenry kindly stays out of politics. But building political legitimacy on economic progress can be an awfully risky
endeavor, as Putin will soon learn. And while it’s possible Russia may have untapped natural gas resources, the country is not competitive in developing them – nor is it likely to be. Russia’s political class is heavily entrenched in its business sector, which is as corrupt as Siberia is cold. Efficiency isn’t the country’s strong suit. Don’t expect any new infrastructure to be built without the Kremlin’s friends siphoning off a bit of cash first. Russia’s Soviet-era energy infrastructure is aging, and was of questionable quality even when it was first erected. There’s reason to believe Russia is already performing at capacity, adding further questions to its competitive potential. In 2007, when TIME named Putin its Man of the Year, two of its correspondents remarked to the man himself that he “must feel lucky that the price of oil is so high.” “Fools are lucky,” Putin responded. “We work day and night!” And yet, a savvy observer might note, Russia continues to fall behind in the energyexport race. And keep in mind the United States is beating Russia on price, too. The price of American natural gas is about a third of Russia’s. International buyers are catching on. Where Russian gas giant Gazprom once fulfilled the orders for 37 percent of Europe’s natural gas supply, it now sells only 25 percent. This extra competition is internationally disruptive. The Kremlin has long used its near-monopoly in the energy sector as a tool to assert its global
power. For example, in 2006 and 2009, Russia tried to strong-arm Ukraine by shutting off its gas supplies, leading to energy shortages across Europe. Putin used this geopolitical move to underscore his influence throughout the region, winning diplomatic points at the expense of Europe’s shivering families that winter. Russia’s move was retaliation against the Ukrainian government, which has been leaning westward since the Orange Revolution. Likewise, Russia has used energy prices to try to control its neighbors. After the 2003 Rose Revolution, Georgia too began to orient its foreign policy toward the West and away from Russia. The Kremlin promptly responded by announcing significant price increases for gas. However, despite this move, Georgia has been able to supplant its supply somewhat, thanks to its neighbor Azerbaijan. This alternative has given the local government confidence to hold firm against Russian pressure. These are just two examples among many demonstrating how Russia’s energy policy supports – and sometimes drives – its foreign policy. But as the global energy equation tilts toward the United States, Russia’s influence and international leverage diminishes. The United States must continue to develop its natural gas supply. The benefits redound far beyond the domestic sphere. Chris Faulkner is president and CEO of Breitling Oil and Gas.
