A leaky generator caused the Cub Foods in Apple Valley to be evacuated Monday night around 7:15 p.m., but no injuries were reported. According to Apple Valley Police, thick, black smoke poured out the generator, located behind the building, and could be seen for miles around. It was eventually determined that oil had leaked on the motor, causing the smoke, but there were no flames. Apple Valley Fire Chief
Nealon Thompson said the generator is used for backup power during high-peak periods of energy use and is controlled by Dakota Electric. Apple Valley firefighters, engaged in training that night, arrived within one minute of the call, but had to wait until the generator was shut down by Dakota Electric before they could enter the building. “If the generator is live and we’re running in ‌ Laura Adelmann is at laura. we could get an electrical adelmann@ecm-inc.com.

Playing in ancestral steps Hurling club to play exhibition, offer clinic during Leprechaun Days by Tad Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
When a hurling match is staged at the Rosemount High School athletic fields Saturday, July 31, it is possible it will be the same game that was played more than 100 years ago in that location. Rosemount residents will have a chance to see and even try their skill at the two-millenia-old Irish game as part of Rosemount Leprechaun Days. The Minnesota Irish Cultural Center and Twin Cities Robert Emmets Hurling Club will stage the game, which will start after the Grand Day Parade, probably after 2 p.m. Longtime Rosemount resident Kevin Carroll, a frequent volunteer with the cultural center, helped connect all the proverbial dots to organize the game, which will also include a short concert by the Brian Boru

Man charged after allegedly exposing himself to woman by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
A 23-year-old Rosemount man has been charged with felony harassment for allegedly exposing himself to a woman walking her dog. A criminal complaint filed by the Dakota County Attorney’s Office gives the following account: On Wednesday, July 21, Steven Patrick Harrison had been parked near the woman’s house, and allegedly drove the car slowly behind her as she passed by with her dog. She walked faster, and he kept pace in the car next to her. When she looked over, he had his pants down and hips up to expose himself.

Breanne DĂźren, known by friends and former Apple Valley High School classmates as Breanne Durenberger, is a member of synthpop band Owl City. Next week the band will embark on a North American tour in support of Maroon 5.
APPLE VALLEY “That was the first time I had ever played an arena, and it was just a sea of peopleâ€? she said. Next up was a show at Madison Square Garden in New York. Estimated attendance: 17,000. “That was pretty massive – it was really, really, really crazy,â€? she said. While DĂźren said she hopes to stay with Owl City as long as that remains an option, she also has her sights set on a solo career. This summer she’s been writing songs for an EP she hopes to record, and after the Owl City tour with John Mayer ends in September, she’ll be playing a solo show at the Varsity Theatre in Minneapolis on Sept. 22.

Breanne DĂźren has come a long way from her days performing in front of friends and family at Dunn Bros Coffee in Apple Valley. As a member of synthpop band Owl City, DĂźren has toured Asia and Great Britain, shared a bill with teen heart-throb Justin Bieber, and performed in front of 17,000 screaming, adoring fans at New York City’s Madison Square Garden. The 2006 graduate of Apple Valley High School leaves next week for Owl City’s North American tour in support of Maroon 5, followed by another touring gig opening for John Mayer. “I’m having a great time,â€? said the 22-yearold vocalist and keyboardist whom friends and former classmates know as Breanne Durenberger. “I’m really, really grateful to be a part of this. I understand that this doesn’t happen often.â€? It was a fairly quick transition from sparsely attended coffeehouse gigs to stadium rock concerts for DĂźren, who in high school was involved in choir and dance team, and regularly performed music with her brother, Kaleb, at the Dunn Bros coffeehouse on Galaxie Avenue. After high school, she attended the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities as a cultural studies major, but devoted much of her time to music, logging solo shows at Minneapolis venues such as the 400 Bar, Varsity Theatre and Triple Rock Social Club. “I enjoyed school, but music has always definitely been my passion,â€? she said. DĂźren connected with Owl City founder Adam Young a few years ago through a mutual friend. Young, who launched Owl City to mainstream success with tracks he’d recorded in the basement of his parents’ Owatonna home, needed a female vocalist, and DĂźren fit the bill. DĂźren, who’s featured on the track “The Saltwater Roomâ€? on Owl City’s 2009 major label debut “Ocean Eyes,â€? joined Young’s touring band in September 2009. Owl City’s appearance at KDWB’s Jingle Ball event at the Xcel Energy Center in December saw DĂźren performing before an estimated 14,000 people.
Growing program needs more space, district officials say by Aaron Vehling THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
This September, District 196 will sow the seeds for a new site for two programs to begin using in fall 2011. Adult Basic Education and Early Childhood and Family Education programs will move from their 20-year home at Grace Lutheran Church near County Road 42 and Cedar Avenue to a new site less than a mile down the road. The School Board approved on Monday, July 26, a $1.4 million, 15-year lease-to-own agreement with the C. Chase Company of St. Louis Park for the new
DISTRICT 196 14,000-square-foot facility. The new, larger site is necessary to accommodate a constantly growing service. “We have a very active ABE program,� said Board Member Bob Schutte at the meeting. He has attended many of the graduation ceremonies of people who enroll in the ABE program, he said. “It’s heartwarming to hear how their lives are impacted,� Schutte said. “When the speakers get up and talk it brings tears to my eyes.� There are several steps involved before the programs
can actually move, including renovation of the new site, approval from the Minnesota Department of Education and a Phase I environmental survey. The district expects to close on the site in September. A Coldwell Banker Burnet office previously occupied the red-brick colonial-style building.

And now for something completely different Ex-Eastview theater students team up to stage ‘Sincerity Forever’ at MN Fringe by Andrew Miller THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
“Sincerity Forever� is not for everyone, warns director Rob Rachow. It’s got fur-covered, foulsmelling space aliens. A black female Jesus. Teens in Ku Klux Klan attire discussing political correctness and GLBT issues. “If you’re offended easily, this is probably not the show for you,� said Rachow. “There is a lot of swearing in it – gratuitous swearing.� Given its adult-oriented content and acerbic satirical tone, “Sincerity Forever� is not a show Rachow would even consider staging at Eastview High School, where he works as theater manager. Instead, Rachow has assembled a cast and crew that includes six Eastview alumni who will present “Sincerity Forever� under the banner of Rachow’s independent theater company, Arbor Heavy Productions, at this year’s Minnesota Fringe performing arts festival. “Sincerity Forever� plays the Fringe in a five-show run Aug. 7-15 at the Theatre in the Round Players in Minneapolis. Billed as a “crude satire,� the show follows members of the Invisible Nation – hip teens in Ku Klux Klan attire – waxing philosophic on religious freedom, censorship, homosexuality, and other hot-button issues. Their musings are interrupted by the arrival of two obscenity-spewing “galactic furballs� and a black female Jesus. Rachow said he chose the show to “highlight the lack of honesty and sincerity rampant in our current culture, a culture which favors tip-toeing around the issues and hiding behind statistics rather than clearly and sim-

The Minnesota Zooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new dolphin calf isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite ready to dine on fish. For now, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on a steady diet of motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s milk.

County struggles to manage budget with anticipated state aid cuts
' (
%%%(! (! '
by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Anticipating dramatic and permanent state aid cuts, rising insurance premiums and economic uncertainties, Dakota County officials are planning for years of financial struggles. During a July 27 budget workshop, County Finance Director Matt Smith estimated the current $368 million county budget will drop to $313 million by 2013, a $55 million reduction. Smith said without insurance plan modifications, the county will pay another $1.8 million for employee health insurance next year, and another $300,000 in retirement benefits. Next year, Smith is recommending the county plan to cut its budget by $10 million. In 2012, the county is planning for the possibility of losing another $19 million, and cuts of $26 million in 2013. The figures are broad estimates, and could change because there are still many unknowns, including the severity of the expected state aid cuts. In response to the anticipated budget challenges, Smith proposed earmarking a portion of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fund balance to pay off bond debt over the next few years, freeing up tax levy dollars to be reallocated to cover operational costs. In addition, the county may cut employees and programs, delay or eliminate planned improvements and purchases, raise property taxes 1 percent next year and 2 percent in both 2012 and 2013, in hopes that the actions are enough to carry through until the economy picks up by 2014 and beyond. While commissioners
and department heads have prioritized county services, with law and justice topping the list, and encouraging the public in civic affairs at the bottom, few rendered comments about which areas to cut, knowing those issues will be discussed more in depth next month. But Commissioner Paul Krause questioned why the county is devoting $2.8 million of its budget, a disproportional amount compared to other metro counties, on preventing homelessness. Commissioner Tom Egan said the county should not be leading an independent effort to save energy, but working with others to achieve that goal. Commissioner Nancy Schouweiler asked if laying off workers would exacerbate the problem, and commissioners briefly debated whether employee unions would agree to multi-year wage freezes to avoid layoffs. It was also suggested that there may be more room for reductions in higher priority areas, than in other areas where few resources are already expended. County Administrator Brandt Richardson said they are trying to find a way to make reductions with the least amount of impact on county services, employees and residents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going about this the right way, and as negative and awful as it is, I think it really is helpful,â&#x20AC;? Schouweiler said of the process. Commissioners will continue budget discussions next month, with another workshop scheduled Aug. 24. On Nov. 2, the county plans to release the administratorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed budget
Financial planning seminar set Aug. 3 Stacey Bartelson, Edward Jones financial advisor in Rosemount, will host a free educational seminar titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Outlook and Opportunities: Tackling Tough Questions,â&#x20AC;? at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 3, at Fireside Restaurant, 3400 150th St., Rosemount. The seminar will include strategies for managing current investment risks
while still working to address long-term financial needs by answering questions such as: What if interest rates go up? What if the deficit gets worse? How will health care legislation impact me? The seminar is free, but space is limited. To make a reservation, call Jonay Meyer at (651) 322-2905 by July 30.

Dakota County Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aging initiative likely to reorganize into a non-profit agency Living Longer and Stronger out of money at yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
A Dakota County initiative administered by a local non-profit organization is likely to become its own non-profit next year. What began as the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investigation of how to accommodate an aging public became an action plan through DARTS. The county funded the program with about $110,000 annually for three years, but it is not being funded in 2011, said Jack Ditmore, director of operations, management and budget. At a July 27 committee
meeting, DARTS vice president Beth Wiggins said the aging initiative, now called Living Longer and Stronger, has formed a sustainability committee to explore ways to continue its work without county support. She said about 70 volunteers have given over 1,000 hours of time this year, providing support to residents in a variety of ways. For example, in Burnsville, the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Health and Wellness Team surveyed residents age 45 and older about how senior centers can adapt to meet changing needs and demographics.
The group plans to next focus on Apple Valley and Rosemount. Other areas of involvement have included housing, services, wellness, transportation, work and community. Wiggins said the organization has no money now, and funding the new nonprofit would be a challenge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There may be other partners interested in the community development side of this as opposed to the aging side,â&#x20AC;? she said. Laura Adelmann is at laura. adelmann@ecm-inc.com.
Volunteers needed to support families caring for an elder Family members caring for an elder in their home could use a break from caregiving now and then, and being a DARTS volunteer can make it possible. Volunteers can support family caregivers by giving them a break once a week or every other week for three to four hours. Volunteers provide company and a safe environment for the elder who cannot be left alone. For more information about DARTS volunteer opportunities with older adults, contact Barb Tiggemann, barb.tiggemann@ darts1.org or (651) 4551560, or visit www.darts1. org.

The top two vote-getters will proceed to the general election, Nov. 2.
THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
A Dakota County judge disciplined last year for misconduct is facing two challengers in the Aug. 10 primary election. In the rare contested judicial race, attorneys Larry Clark and Stephen Allan Baker have filed to run against Judge Timothy Blakely, a former Navy officer who has held the First Judicial District seat for 11 years. Last year, Blakely was suspended from practice for six months by the Minnesota Supreme Court for negotiating a $63,503 discount for legal services in his divorce by appointing his attorney as mediator to cases he oversaw. Both Clark, an assistant prosecuting attorney for Dakota County, and Baker, an attorney from Red Wing who has practiced in Minnesota and Florida, have cited references to Blakelyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s discipline as one of the reasons they decided to run for the bench. In an e-mail, Baker said his candidacy speaks for his views on Blakely and the courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sanction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to bring honesty, integrity and the spirit of community service back to the bench in the First Judicial District,â&#x20AC;? he wrote. On his website, Clark states that he never envisioned himself running against a sitting judge, but now feels compelled to do so, â&#x20AC;&#x153;in an effort to restore integrity and respect to the position.

cent, was 1.9 percent lower than 2009. This small decrease is still well above the state average of 46 percent for this age group. Superintendent Jane Berenz was mostly pleased with the results. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The teachers and kids did a great job,â&#x20AC;? she said. The district is preparing to review its science curriculum this year, Berenz said, and the results â&#x20AC;&#x153;give us fresh data to look atâ&#x20AC;? in relation to that review. The Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments-Series II (MCA-II) are given statewide in the spring. The test topics vary depending on grade level. The reading and math scores are used to determine if a school district is making Adequate Yearly Progress per federal law. The U.S. Department of Education does not use science scores in this determination. Berenz said science is a focus of districts across the state: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone wants to see science scores go up.â&#x20AC;?
District 196 students in eighth grade and at the high school level improved their test scores on standardized science tests this past school year, according to data released by the Minnesota Department of Education on July 27. Overall, middle school students made the greatest gains, even if the gap between their achievement and the state average is not as wide as that of the high school. Students in eighth grade had the largest increase, achieving 49.3 percent proficiency in 2010 compared 41.2 percent in 2009. The state average for eighthgraders in 2010 was 46 percent. High school students scored 66.9 percent proficiency, a 3.4 percent increase over 2009. The state average for this group was 47.9 percent. Fifth-graders were the other group to take the MCA-II science test and the only ones to see a decrease. Aaron Vehling is at aaron. Their 2010 score, 53.4 per- vehling@ecm-inc.com.

Opinion Thisweek Columnist DealzOn: a new way to connect readers, advertisers thedealz n.com by Larry Werner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
The newspaper is a funny animal. Are its customers the readers whom we inform about the happenings in our communities? Or are our customers the merchants who buy the ads that pay the bills? The answer is, yes. During my 40 years in this business, I have often referred to the paper as a “two-headed monster” dedicated to serving two masters – readers and advertisers. Our job is to provide objective information in the news columns while selling space in the ad columns so merchants can deliver their own commercial messages. Next week, we’ll be launching a new feature that is different from anything we’ve ever done. It will offer our advertising customers a chance to provide our readers with exceptional bargains through coupons sold on our website, www. thisweeklive.com. It’s called DealzOn, which stands for “The Deal is On.” Once you hear how it works, you’ll realize the idea isn’t original. Others have been selling coupons
off websites for some time. Going by names such as Groupon and Living Social, companies have provided bargain hunters with the chance to buy “group coupons” if a minimum number of other folks buy in a limited period of time, usually 24 hours. Through thedealzon.com, which works off our ThisweekLive. com website, we will give consumers the same opportunity to spread the word that good deals will be on if enough people buy. In a recent staff meeting, one of our sales agents asked what DealzOn has to do with putting out a newspaper. It isn’t news, and it isn’t advertising, at least in the traditional sense. My response to the sales agent’s question is that DealzOn is about serving the local businesses that support our free newspapers and website with advertising and the readers who, we hope, patronize those advertisers. A better question than why should we offer group coupons is why not? We’ve been bringing local businesses and their customers together for more than 125
your local
years in the Dakota County Tribune and more than 30 years in Thisweek. The Tribune was started as a subscription newspaper in 1884 and is now published as our Business Weekly on Thursdays. About 65,000 copies of our three Thisweek papers are distributed on Fridays in Dakota County. Our website includes virtually all the stories that appear in our newspapers. And speaking of websites, they have changed a lot of things in the news business. Many of the financial challenges we’ve faced are related to advertising moving from printed newspapers to the Internet, where ads are inexpensive because of the large number of competitors out there. Among the competitors are the group-coupon sites that have become popular with bargain-hunting consumers. Mike Jetchick, our sales manager, noticed that group coupons
daily savings site
were being sold every day on behalf of companies that have included some of our longtime local business clients. He persuaded me that we should start selling these coupons. Next week, you will be able to check ThisweekLive.com for our daily deal and buy coupons providing discounts of 50 percent and more at local businesses once a minimum number of people buy along with you. The revenue will be split between us and the participating businesses. Once you buy the coupon on our site, you’ll get a link that will allow you to print out a voucher for the deal. We have spent several months fine-tuning the details of our new program with a DealzOn team consisting of Mike, business manager Eva Mooney, our web designer, Dawn Igoe, graphic artist Robyn Berg and Gina Lee, one of our sales agents. They are ready
for our business customers to start offering “dealz” and for our readers to sign up for e-mail notices at www.thedealzon.com. I must admit that when I got into this business 40 years ago, I never imagined that I’d be selling coupons on the Internet as part of my newspaper job. For that matter, I never imagined there would be something called the Internet or a website or e-mail or social networking. Our business has been changed rapidly by amazing technologies, and it will continue to change. But what hasn’t changed is the role we play serving those two masters – readers who rely on us to tell them what’s happening in their communities and the advertisers who want to reach those readers, their customers. Beginning Aug. 3, we will be serving those two masters in a new way we call DealzOn. We’d like all of you to sign up. Larry Werner is editor and general manager of Thisweek Newspapers and the Dakota County Tribune. He is at larry.werner@ecm-inc. com.
ECM Editorial Anderson Kelliher merits nod in deep DFL primary Gov. Tim Pawlenty’s eight years in office have given voters ample time to compare his no-new-taxes version of government with the more progressive model that had prevailed for decades. November’s gubernatorial election again presents clashing philosophies. On the Democrat-Farmer-Labor side, Margaret Anderson Kelliher is the best candidate to make her party’s case in a robust contest with Republican endorsee Tom Emmer and Independence Party endorsee Tom Horner. Anderson Kelliher, a 12-year veteran of the state House of Representatives, was elected speaker in 2007. She faces former U.S. Sen. Mark Dayton, also a former state auditor, and former House Minority Leader Matt Entenza in an Aug. 10 primary. The new governor’s first job will be mending an unprecedented $5.8 billion hole in the state budget. Anderson Kelliher and Entenza propose similar approaches that include spending cuts, tax hikes and continued delays in aid payments to school districts. Both propose higher income taxes for households making more than $250,000 a year. They’re right to use the income tax to reverse regressivity that has crept into Minnesota’s state and local tax structure during the Pawlenty years. Dayton’s approach – raising more revenue than either of his DFL opponents by hiking income taxes on a broader swath of “high-income” earners – may have gut-level appeal for some DFL primary voters. It’s too divisive to carry into a general election and the 2011 legislative session. Anderson Kelliher’s choice of John Gunyou as her lieutenant governor running mate inspires confidence in her intellectual
and political flexibility. Gunyou is a former state finance commissioner under Republican Gov. Arne Carlson and the current Minnetonka city manager. He’s an authority on state finance and a well-known scold on “solutions” that trade long-term stability for expediency. The Anderson Kelliher/Gunyou team offers the best chance for an evolving model of state finance that will become more fair and less vulnerable to unsettling revenue swings. Anderson Kelliher was the chief architect of a gasoline-tax increase that will raise more than $6 billion for badly needed road and bridge projects. She held together a coalition, including several Republicans, that delivered the only veto override Pawlenty has suffered in office. She represents a new generation of DFL leadership, one less prone to inter-caucus “bullying and yelling,” in her words, and more willing to try velvet persuasion. The daughter of rural Minnesota dairy farmers, Anderson Kelliher is visionary in many respects – such as her call for a government official to oversee services for a growing population of elderly – but some of her ideas need work. In an interview with the ECM Editorial Board, she gave an incomplete response to a question about Minnesota’s growing public-pension crisis. In order to win DFL endorsement, she committed to exploring a state universal health-care system. The goal may be laudable, but too little has been said about how it would meld with the federal program and whether the cost is sustainable, especially in these times. Anderson Kelliher also supports a large, dedicated increase in state school funding
combined with cuts in property taxes. To her credit, she says Minnesota must conquer its budget crisis first. She opposes gambling expansion and state tax dollars being spent on a new Vikings stadium, would sign a same-sex marriage bill and rightly identifies Minnesota’s eroding water quality as its biggest environmental problem. Minnesota is fortunate to have three strong candidates in the DFL primary. Dayton’s lifetime of public service includes serving as a state commissioner for three different departments. During his career,
Entenza was an effective legislator and leader of the House DFL caucus who now brings a fresh centrist profile to the primary race. Anderson Kelliher faces two wealthy Goliaths who have invested small fortunes in the Aug. 10 primary. Their campaign war chests neither qualify nor disqualify any of the three candidates.

We have the right person representing us To the editor: As a resident of Apple Valley, I’m pleased to know the Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association has endorsed Rep. Phil Sterner in his candidacy for office in the District 37B Minnesota House of Representatives. This endorsement is given without reservation to those individuals the association feels are the best candidates to deal with crime and public safety issues in the Legislature. The association has been in existence since 1922 and has a membership of more than 8,500 line police officers across the state of Minnesota. Their support of Phil Sterner’s re-election to the state House of Representatives is just one more assurance for me that we have the right person representing us at the Capitol. ALAN C.

Coaches needed to lead local teams
by Brian Jerzak THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
In parks, fields and gyms across the south metro young people are at play. It is hard to drive anywhere in the summer without seeing youths playing some sort of organized, athletic activity.

What people might not see as they drive by are the volunteers who make those activities happen. For every game that takes place there are a number of men and women who organize these activities. One of the most important groups includes those who volunteer their time to coach. One of the most difficult tasks for league organizers like Scott Selby, EVAA president, is finding enough coaches for the 12 sports it coordinates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really rely on volunteers,â&#x20AC;? Selby said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are plenty of people with experience. The hardest part is finding enough people with the time to devote to it.â&#x20AC;? There are many reasons why coaches decide to get involved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think I did it because of the love of the game,â&#x20AC;? said Selby, who has coached in the past. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For most people it is wanting to stay connected to the game. A lot of our people are interested in developing an interest in an active lifestyle. They are not particularly interested in having their child become the star of the high school team.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I enjoy it because I get to see my son develop and kind of help him along,â&#x20AC;? said Louisville Bat 5- to 6-year-olds baseball coach Eddie Krekeler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like teaching the kids skills and the basics of the game. I like to see their expressions when they make good plays or get a hit.â&#x20AC;? Coaches are unpaid and, depending on the level and sport, devote a great amount of time from their daily lives to coach. What the coaches donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t receive in monetary compensation they get back in ways that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be measured by dollars and cents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is very rewarding,â&#x20AC;? said Krekeler, â&#x20AC;&#x153;with the kids that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hit the ball all the time, when they do actually hit it, the look on their face â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh my gosh, I actually hit itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is pretty cool.â&#x20AC;? The amount of expe-
IN BRIEF If you are interested in contacting or finding out more about area athletic associations, go online at: â&#x20AC;˘ Dakota Rev Soccer Club, www.dakotarev. org â&#x20AC;˘ Eastview Athletic Association, www.eastview-evaa.org â&#x20AC;˘ Rosemount Area Athletic Association, www.rosemount-aaa. org â&#x20AC;˘ Rosemount Area Hockey Association, www.rosemounthockey. org â&#x20AC;˘ Valley Athletic Association, www.valleyathletic.org rience a coach needs is a common roadblock for would-be coaches. In reality, especially at the younger levels, the less experienced coaches are often the most beneficial to the players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have found,â&#x20AC;? Selby said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;for our coaches, empathy is important. You have got to be able to understand this is not easy to learn. That is where the superstar athlete is not always a good coach because everything comes naturally to them. It actually helps to have some people who struggled a bit when they were in sports, because they understand from point zero to point 10 instead of somebody who just picked up a ball and threw it 60 yards. You have to have somebody who can empathize with the struggle of learning something new.â&#x20AC;? In todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world, people are always on the go and have tight schedules, but getting involved in coaching a youth sport isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always as time consuming as it might seem. EVAA has a board of volunteers for each sport that makes schedules, secures the fields and completes much of the paperwork. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have a coaches
meeting at the beginning of the year to go over the basic rules and hand out the equipment,â&#x20AC;? Krekeler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is pretty much all set up for us and we just have to manage our own team.â&#x20AC;? Coaches of traveling teams might need to put in more time, but for someone who wants to be involved on a smaller scale, there is plenty of room for those with limited time. More and more it seems like there are stories about angry parents who disrupt the game or get too involved with the officials or coaches. Although it sometimes happens, EVAA has few incidents and supports the coaches and officials quickly and effectively, according to the association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of our volunteers say that is what they worry about the most,â&#x20AC;? Selby said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had the kind of things you see in the paper. We have been successful getting the message out that that kind of behavior isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to be accepted and when it does happen we respond very quickly. If you, as a coach or referee, let us know about it, we will support you and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll stomp it out as fast as we can.â&#x20AC;? In a perfect world, that support is never needed and groups like EVAA can focus on more important things â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is fun to see the kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; progress. With the Louisville Bats I can see how as the season progresses they are getting better,â&#x20AC;? Krekeler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is very rewarding. We try to teach them some fundamentals and sharpen their skills, but it is more about having fun.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to be able to not only teach kids sports,â&#x20AC;? Selby said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but also to teach kids about handling adversity. How do I handle adversity with others?â&#x20AC;? When it comes down to it, helping young people improve not only in athletics, but more importantly as people, is what coaching youth athletics is all about.

Thisweekend Expressions! offers divine comedy Lakeville theater group presents â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Education of Angelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by Andrew Miller THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Laugh-out-loud comedy has become the stock in trade of Lakeville-based community theater group Expressions! The groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest production, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Education of Angels,â&#x20AC;? promises plenty of laughs, but also delves into deeper issues, says director Maureen Carroll. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about life and death and new beginnings,â&#x20AC;? Carroll said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funny, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poignant, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tearjerker but in a very sweet way.â&#x20AC;? The show, which runs Aug. 6-15 at the Lakeville Area Arts Center, follows the misadventures of two angels in training (played by Bonnie Stevenson and Paul Modderman) sent to Earth to assist a bridegroom (Andrew Wilkins) experiencing cold feet on his wedding day.
Making their debut The production marks the stage debut for three actors in the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ninemember cast. Toby Nichols, who works as a substitute teacher in Lakeville Area Public
Schools, is cast as the elderly, cane-clutching Clifton in his first acting role. Rob Carry, a horticulturist by trade who this summer is producing a reality TV series tentatively titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Stationâ&#x20AC;? about the lives of firefighters in Naples, Fla., is cast as Jack, the best man at the wedding in â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Education of Angels.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exhilarating and terrifying all at the same time,â&#x20AC;? Carry, of Inver Grove Heights, said of his first theater role. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something to cross off my bucket list.â&#x20AC;? Also new to the stage is 7-year-old Ariana Doyle, the sole child in the cast. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always wanted to act and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been really fun,â&#x20AC;? said Doyle, who will be a second-grader at Falcon Ridge Elementary in New Prague in the fall. Carroll and the other cast members describe Doyle as a natural talent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing a phenomenal job â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very professional, and it feels like sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always been on the stage,â&#x20AC;? said Carroll. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d take her again in a heartbeat.â&#x20AC;?

Eagan
Burnsville
Celebrate National Night Out for chance to win Twins suite
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Annie Jr.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; at the PAC
Neighborhoods across Eagan will celebrate National Night Out from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 3. In honor of Eaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 150th anniversary, neighborhoods that bring food or cash donations for the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food drive will also have the chance to win a Twins suite for 24 people for the Oct. 2 game. Registered neighborhoods will get one raffle entry for every 50 pounds do-
nated. Every dollar donated equals 3.5 pounds of food. Neighborhoods can register their parties through the end of the day Monday, Aug. 2. The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal this year is to raise a total of 300,000 pounds of food for area food shelves. Currently donations are at about 240,000 pounds of food. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The more food or money you donate, the more chances you get to win,â&#x20AC;? said Scott Swenson, chair
of the Eagan Sesquicentennial Volunteer Committee. This could be a record year in Eagan for participation in National Night Out, said Police Chief Jim McDonald. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started in 1999 with only 29 neighborhood parties and this year we expect to have 185 parties,â&#x20AC;? he said. Co-sponsored by the Eagan Citizens Crime Prevention Association, National Night Out is one of the best ways to get to know
your neighbors and increase a sense of community, according to police. The event encourages residents to lock their doors, turn on their outside lights, and spend the evening with their neighbors, sending a message to criminals that Eagan neighborhoods are organized and working to deter crime. For more information, call Jill Ondrey, Eagan crime prevention specialist, at (651) 675- 5727.

Business loans available Rasmussen College to host Career for veterans, small businesses and Networking Fair is Aug. 19 An expanded and renamed state program is offering loans of up to $20,000 apiece to recently retired military service members who want to start businesses, and also to small businesses that suffered due to the loss of essential employees being called to military service, under a law passed in the 2010 legislative session. The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development is administrating the program, called the Minnesota Reservist and Veteran Business Loan Program. Both the business and start-up business loans are one-time, interest-free loans, available from $5,000 to $20,000. Terms are for four and a half years, with no repayment over the first one and a half years and equal monthly payments for the remaining three years. Start-up business loans are available to businesses that are owned and operated by a recently separated veteran (after Sept. 11, 2001). To qualify for this program, a veteran must
have been on active duty on or after 9/11 and have been separated under honorable conditions after having been on active duty for at least 181 consecutive days, or after disability incurred while on active duty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Small business is the backbone of Minnesota,â&#x20AC;? said Sen. Pat Pariseau, who is retiring at the end of 2010. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These loan programs were developed for our hard-working veterans that continue to serve our state by priming the economic pump of small business that fuels our stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy. I encourage all veterans that may be eligible and interested to check into the programs they may want to take advantage of.â&#x20AC;? Applications are available at www.positivelyminnesota.com under â&#x20AC;&#x153;reservist and veteran business loan.â&#x20AC;? The direct link to the information page is at: www. tinyurl.com/veteransloanprogram. Questions about the program can be directed to Jeff Nelson at (651) 259-7523 or jeff.m.nelson@state.mn.us.

Ben Franklin is just one of the many family-owned businesses that give downtown Lakeville its smalltown feel. Half variety store, half â&#x20AC;&#x153;five and dime,â&#x20AC;? Ben Franklin, located at 20765 Holyoke Ave., has offered a gamut of services in the 30 years Scott Erickson has owned it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We get people all the time that stop and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Look, a Ben Franklin. I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen one of those in a long time,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? Erickson, 52, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going well. We just look for things that people canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find other places.â&#x20AC;? And despite the fact that the Ben Franklin building is on the verge of being sold, Erickson said nothing will be changing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still here and Ben Franklin isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going anywhere,â&#x20AC;? Erickson said. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great news for Judy Tschumper. Tschumper, director of the Downtown Lakeville Business Association, said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to know Erickson plans to be around a long time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not only a very unique store, but part of it is the historical part of being downtown. The Ericksons, like the Enggrens, have been an integral part of Lakeville for so long,â&#x20AC;? Tschumper said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Families like that make downtown what it is.â&#x20AC;? The Enggren family is selling the Ben Franklin building to Lakeville-based Metro Equity Management. Tschumper said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to see why Ben Franklin seems to thrive in downtown Lakeville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you walk in there you can see â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they have something for everyone,â&#x20AC;? she

Downtown Lakevilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic Ben Franklin building is on the verge of changing ownership. The Enggren family, which has owned the building since the 1960s, is selling it to Lakeville-based Metro Equity Management.

central Ben Franklin warehouse like days past, Erickson said he now deals with â&#x20AC;&#x153;oodles of vendors.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little more difficult, but now I can get more specialized items,â&#x20AC;? he said. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also complemented merchandise sales with specialized services, such as custom picture framing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really strong,â&#x20AC;? Erickson said. He said Lakevilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growth from small town into a commuter community has changed business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re even here,â&#x20AC;? Erickson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we are, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not leaving.â&#x20AC;?
said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From kids who need Lakeville North and Lakeville South items, to seniors, to scrap-bookers, to the custom framing â&#x20AC;Ś you just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see anything so eclectic anymore. There is literally something for everyone.â&#x20AC;? Erickson said thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the point. But he also said owning the store has a unique set of challenges. Ben Franklin was once a dynamic franchise of retail stores, Erickson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the franchise was sold. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the clout the Wal-Marts of the world were getting,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Credit union soars from small beginnings to great success Wings Financial Credit Union, the largest credit union in the state, continues to grow with recent merger by Jessica Harper DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Photo by Jessica Harper
Wings Financial Credit Union recently announced it is merging with City-County Federal Credit Union. This is Wings Financialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second merger this month. It also reached an agreement to merge with Highgrove Community Federal Credit Union. In both deals, the credit unions will be operated by Wings under the Wings name.
APPLE VALLEY nancialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conservative lending practices and its ability to maintain loyal customers. Wings Financial recently announced it is merging with City-County Federal Credit Union based in Minneapolis. The merger received approval from both boards, and preliminary approval from both the National Credit Union Administration and the Minnesota Department of Commerce. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been talking for some time and felt the timing was right to move forward,â&#x20AC;? Wagner said. He added that the merger will likely not be complete until the end of March. The merger will increase Wingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s membership 50 percent to 190,000 members and its assets 17.5 percent to $3.16 billion. Airlines will make up only 50 percent of Wings membership, Wagner said. The primary difference
between the two credit unions is that City-County is engaged in business lending with member business loans, while Wings, as policy, does not do business lending.
However, City-County locations will continue to provide business lending after the merger. City-County Federal Credit Union has struggled financially over the last few

County members, he said. Prior to the merger, Wings already had 20,000 members in the northern Minneapolis area, while City-County had about 20,000 in the south metro. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a good deal for members because it will give them greater access and more convenience than before,â&#x20AC;? Wagner said. Once the merger is complete, Wings will operate City-County under the Wings name and retain the majority of City-Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 150 employees. This is Wing Financialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second merger this month. The credit union also reached an agreement to merge with St. Paul-based Highgrove Community Federal Credit Union. Wagner said Highgrove will likely begin operating under the Wings name in October.
Out of the Great Depression, Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest credit union was born. Apple Valley-based Wings Financial Credit Union was founded in St. Paul in 1938 to serve Northwest Airlines employees and has taken flight ever since. The difference between a credit union and a conventional bank is that a credit union is a nonprofit cooperative that is owned by members who pay deposits, while a conventional bank is privately owned by shareholders. Credit unions are exempt from taxes while conventional banks are not. In 2004, Wings changed its charter from one focused on aviation to a state charter and moved it headquarters to Apple Valley. This opened its membership to anyone who lives, works or worships in the 13-county Twin Cities metropolitan area. At the time, the airline industry was facing layoffs causing the credit union to lose those members, so it decided to diversify, said John Wagner, vice president of marketing for Wings Financial. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While we were still doing quite well, our pie was shrinking,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For our credit union to grow, we needed new membership.â&#x20AC;? However, Wings didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give up on airlines altogether. It continues to make up about 80 percent of Wings Financialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business. To date, Wings offers financial services to employees representing 130 air transportation companies, including 54 airlines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We continue to have a great relationship with Delta, which took over Northwest,â&#x20AC;? Wagner said. Since changing its charter, Wings has become the largest credit union in Minnesota, and is still growing. Wagner credits this achievement to Wings Fi-
years due to the housing bust. While its assets remained largely the same, its net worth dropped from 8 percent to 3 percent over the last four years, Jerry Deyo said, vice president of marketing for City-County. As of June, its assets were $469.68 million while its net worth was 3.37 percent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though we managed to turn things around, it would have taken quite a bit of time to build enough capital to offer the level of services our members are entitled to,â&#x20AC;? Deyo said. As a result, the credit union saw a merger with Wings as its best option, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will provide an opportunity for growth and financial stability,â&#x20AC;? Deyo said. In addition to providing a viable option for CityCounty, the merger will provide more convenience for existing Wings and City-

Does dance team belong on this page? by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
If you want to see who has some of the biggest fans in all of high school, go to the Target Center in mid-February for the dance team state tournament. The people that fill up the arena are as loud as anyone else that enters. The problem with “covering” dance team is finding out what to write about. There are injuries and heartache; winners and losers. It’s similar to gymnastics or ice skating where the judges decide the final score. Every team works
PRESSBOX hard and every coach is proud. Many times the nut of the story is found in individual statistics. As far as I know, there are none for dance team. Sports writing is driven by statistics such as touchdowns, goals, ERAs, times and baskets. There’s no doubt dance team is one of the most enthusiasm-inducing activities anyone could be a part
of, and from my perspective it has the most enthusiastic parents who want to see their kids recognized. There’s interest in all kinds of sports but there’s only so much time and space available. Thisweek has printed stories before about dance team in the sports and news section. I believe that the story is sometimes best told through photographs. During the state tournament, I don’t think any paper publishes more photos. Online you can find hundreds of pictures of the state tournament at Thisweeklive.com.
The question is whether dance belongs on the sports page. Does it count toward Title IV? I don’t believe so. So is it an activity or a sport? Does it really matter? If there’s interest out there, then it’s newsworthy. But where does it go? I’m curious to hear your opinion. You can send it to andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

During a Burnsville High School football minicamp this week, Burnsville alumni and Tampa Bay Buccaneer James Ruffin stopped by for a visit. Following a workout with the team, he addressed the attendees. He headed for training camp on Thursday with the Bucs. Ruffin graduated from Northern Iowa this spring as one of the top defensive ends in school history. He was signed by the Bucs after the NFL Draft in April as an undrafted free agent. He was a two-year starter in basketball and three-year starter in football, playing both fullback and linebacker for the Blaze.

Basketball, volleyball coaches named at DCTC Former MCTC coach, eight-time coach of the year to lead basketball team Dakota County Technical College in Rosemount has named two head coaches for new two new athletic programs. Kari Peterson was named head volleyball coach and Jay Pivec the new men’s basketball coach. Pivec, one of the top coaches in the history of NJCAA Division III basketball, previously coached the Minneapolis Community and Technical College
Mavericks. DCTC and Pivec are gearing up to launch Blue Knights men’s basketball in October 2011. The plan is to have the team compete as an independent at the NJCAA DII level, but having the Knights join a conference is also a possibility. Pivec is an eight-time Minnesota College Athletic Conference Coach of the Year and entered the MCAC Hall of Fame in
2002. During his career at MCTC, he posted a 425-115 record, leading the Mavericks to four appearances in the DIII national tournament, including two secondplace finishes. In 2010, he entered the NJCAA Men’s Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame. With 452 wins, he ranks second among active DIII coaches. While at MCTC, he coached eight NJCAA First-Team
All-Americans, a feat unmatched by any other DIII program in the U.S. Pivec will be focusing a good share of his recruiting energy in the south metro by relationships with high school coaches. Peterson, a former NCAA Division II National Player of the Year, is recruiting for fall 2011 inaugural season that will compete as an independent at the NJCAA Division II
level starting fall 2011. Peterson plans to have the Knights compete in a number of tournaments against Division II competition in Iowa, North Dakota and Illinois. As a player, Peterson was a setter at Augustana College in Sioux Falls, S.D. from 1997-2001, earning AVCA Division II National Player of the Year honors in 2000.
Local nine hopes to round the bases at state legion by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
If history repeats itself, one area American Legion baseball team might find itself playing at the regional tournament again this year. Third District winner Eastview along with first runner-up Lakeville North and second runnerup Eagan qualified for the Legion State Tournament from Thursday to Monday in Hibbing. The top two teams move on to the either the Great Lakes Regional in Illinois or Central Plains Regional tournament in Missouri in August, which is good news for local teams because the Third District has a reputation of success at state. Apple Valley won the state American Legion tournament in 2002 and was runner-up in 2009, 2007 and 2004. In 2008, Eastview won the state title. Coaches feel that the Third District tournament prepares the team well for state. “There are so many tremendous programs (in the district),” Lakeville North head coach Josh Storm said. “They don’t take days off. There’s a lot of key Lake Conference teams in our group like Eagan, Burnsville, Rosemount, Apple Valley and Lakeville
South. We’re playing a high level of competition.” The tournament also features programs from Forest Lake, Stillwater and Woodbury, which also provides stiff competition. “It’s almost like a state tournament,” Storm said. “We’re facing some tremendous pitching and it sets you up to be successful at the state tournament and beyond.” Since the competition level is so high, one good or bad play can determine the outcome of the game. “You have to have a little bit of the baseball gods on your side and you need a good draw,” Eastview head coach Bob Klefsaas said. “That’s what baseball is all about. I love to be able to go out on the field and say this team might be better on paper than us, but if we make some great plays, any day of the week you can beat anybody.”
Eagan One of the biggest surprises of the district tournament was No. 8 seed Eagan. As teams learned last year, Eagan saves its best for playoffs. Last year, Eagan was a No. 12 seed. “It’s been an impressive run the past few years,” head coach Kevin Nagel said. “It’s pretty impressive
what the kids have been able to do without having the advantages of a top seed.” Eagan used a victory at a legion baseball tournament in Plover, Wis., in early July as a springboard to win nine of its final 11 games. “The kids really jelled during that out-of-town tournament,” Nagel said. “There’s something about getting out of state.” Success starts on the mound for Eagan. Neal Kunik is one of the top pitchers in Minnesota. He’s the only player to give Eden Prairie a loss this year. He’s gone 17-0 stretching back to June 24, 2009, counting high school and legion games. Eagan has five accomplished pitchers – Charlie Conkel, Taylor Mathiason, Garrison Harris and Brad Walker. “We’re going to be a tough matchup for any team later in the tournament,” Nagel said. Twenty-three home runs have fueled Eagan’s offense at the plate. “I thought they were going to be small-ball,” Nagel said. “They turned out to be a run-producing machine.” JD Dorgan and Harris lead Eagan’s home run derby with seven and six, respectively. Both are hitting above .400.
With some state tournament experience behind them, Nagel knows what it will take to be successful. “Last year, if you look at the statistics, we were the best hitting team and the worst fielding team,” Nagel said. This year, Eagan is more balanced. “I just hope the kids come focused,” Nagel said. “Maybe last year they were just happy to be there. We have nine guys returning.” Eagan was rated No. 20 in the final State American Legion coaches and media baseball poll.
Eastview
year.” Klefsaas figured that manufacturing runs was the right fit for the team. “Put the ball in play and run,” Klefsaas said. “I’m not sure if they ever played that way growing up. It took a while for them to understand, but now they have it. They’re peaking at the right time.” The team’s top three pitchers have an ERA of less than one run and the team’s defense has had 36 errors in 33 games. The team’s top pitcher has been Ty McDevitt, who has gone 6-1 this season with a 0.47 ERA. Tom Jerle has a 0.91 ERA striking out 56 batters in 31 innings. Joe Voss went 7-0 with a 0.91 ERA. Adam Morris has also been a big help going 5-0. He’s allowed 25 hits and three walks while striking out 38. Eastview also has five players batting over .400 – Matt Larson, Alex Knop, McDevitt and Ty and Cody Groskruetz. Eastview entered the state tournament ranked No. 2 in the state but the team drew a tough bracket with No. 3 North St. Paul and No. 1 Eden Prairie up first.
In many ways this was supposed to be a rebuilding year. With 13 of the team’s 18 players eligible to play in 2011, coach Klefsaas thought 2010 would be too early to have success. “We blossomed a lot quicker than I thought,” Klefsaas said. “We’re real fortunate.” Klefsaas and Eastview won a state tournament in 2008. He feels this year’s version has better depth and pitching, but there’s no comparison until it’s all over. “The 2008 team had a lot more savvy,” Klefsaas said.

An architectural analysis three years ago revealed the programs would need an additional 5,000 square feet of dedicated space. The new site fits this criteria.
Capital campaign As the district sought more space, Grace Lutheran embarked on its own expansion of programming and renovation of its space. Solomon said the church offered the district the opportunity to be part of its building program, but the

district declined. The decision was financial. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The terms changed to market rates and a longterm commitment,â&#x20AC;? Solomon said. The district was looking for a long-term site for its programs, he said, but not under traditional lease terms. Solomon speaks highly of the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relationship with Grace Lutheran. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The church has been very accommodating,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a good relationship with them.â&#x20AC;? An official statement from Grace Lutheran was unavailable by the time this story went to press. The district will pay for the new site with lease levy funds, just as it does for the
current site, Solomon said.
Helping people to succeed The ABE and ECFE programs include GED and English as a foreign language classes, as well as citizenship and computer instruction. There are also classes that teach successful parenting skills and school readiness for children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think this program is very justified,â&#x20AC;? Schutte said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are some people who would not get an education if not for this program.â&#x20AC;? Aaron Vehling is at aaron. vehling@ecm-inc.com.

The detective reported the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license plate number, and police met Harrison at his place of employment in West St. Paul.
