Judy not ruling out ballot recount option City prepared if request comes once votes are canvassed by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Rosemount may soon be undergoing a manual ballot recount process for a City Council race. City Council Member Mark DeBettignies last week won re-election with 3,436 votes, but it was a narrow victory against chal- Tim lenger Tim Judy, Judy who ended the race with 3,410 votes, a difference of less than one-half of a percentage point. Minnesota law allows for a cityfunded recount if the winning margin is less than one-half of 1 percent of the total votes counted in the race. A written recount request must be submitted to the election jurisdiction within seven days of the canvassing of the general election, according to the Minnesota Secretary of State’s 2010 Election Recount Guide. Once a request is submitted, a 48-hour notification process begins, and the recount would probably begin a few days later, said Rosemount Communications Coordinator Alan Cox.

Apple Valley High School’s boys soccer team won the state title on Nov. 4 at the Metrodome in Minneapolis with a 3-0 victory over Minneapolis Southwest in the final. It’s the ninth state title and the second straight for the Eagles; Apple Valley is on a state-record 48-game undefeated streak.

Leslie Theiste, who is pursuing a degree in architecture, presented information on green affordable housing options. Klynderud presented several financing options, including a shared equity model that provides subsidized housing for multiple families,

because the funding becomes attached to the property itself. Under this model – also called resale-restricted, owner-occupied housing – a low-income family purchases the home below its value, with financial help from a nonprofit. The nonprofit entity stays in contact with the family to ensure the property doesn’t deteriorate and that mortgage payments stay current. When the home is sold, it is listed at a price lower than its appraised value; assuming the home appreciates, the seller still makes a profit but See Housing, 3A

Dakota County Hooters closes doors Restaurant raised eybrows when proposed in 2004 by John Gessner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

is a chain restaurant based in Atlanta. Despite most council members’ distaste for the brief tank tops and short shorts worn by Hooters’ female servers, the City Council approved in June 2004 the Marso brothers’ plan to turn an old Ember’s Restaurant into a Hooters. The building is at 12950 Aldrich Ave. S., west of Interstate 35W and south of Burnsville Parkway. Though Mayor Elizabeth Kautz and thencouncil members Teresa Daly and Liz Workman voiced objections to the business, the council would have invited a legal challenge by voting against it based on Hooters’ uniforms and sexually suggestive marketing. Only Daly voted against the restaurant. A year later, the owners proposed but later dropped plans for an outdoor deck.

The Hooters Restaurant that raised eyebrows on the Burnsville City Council when it was proposed in 2004 has closed. Burnsville Economic Development Coordinator Skip Nienhaus confirmed the closing, which the Star Tribune newspaper reported occurred on Oct. 25. Citing Dakota County records, Nienhaus said the owners owe taxes and penalties of $22,117 for the first half of 2010 and $21,327 for the second half. The Burnsville site is the last of three Hooters Restaurants that were owned and later closed by brothers Steven and John Marso, the Star Tribune reported. The others were in St. Cloud and downtown Minneapolis. Minnesota’s only remaining Hooters, at the Mall of America, is owned by Denver-based Restaurants of America, the Star John Gessner is at burnsville. Tribune reported. Hooters thisweek@ecm-inc.com.

not been opened since the judges sealed them.� The local recount process is made more complicated with the possibility of a statewide ballot recount in the governor’s race. As of deadline, no announcement had been made regarding the state recount. Cox said Dakota County has agreed to allow Rosemount officials to turn their ballots over to Hastings a little later than other cities do, so Rosemount can perform the recount before ballots are sent to Hastings for the state recount, if one should occur. “Most cities are sending their envelopes to Hastings Laura Adelmann is at laura. this week for a potential re- adelmann@ecm-inc.com.

A Minneapolis man was sentenced to six years in prison Tuesday for assaulting a youth sports director and a parent at a sixthgrade basketball game in Burnsville.

$150,000. After five to 10 years, buyers could resell the homes at full market value, and there were only a few people able to benefit through the program. Eventually, the county mandated the resale period be extended to 30 years, and be renewed each time it was purchased by a new owner. In Burlington, Vt., however, the shared-equity program worked well. A Champlain Housing Trust was developed to distribute grants to qualified low-income buyers. To receive the money, the buyer must agree to share profits attained through appreciation with the trust. Through this model, home prices were kept below market for the long-term, and most of the buyers in the program were able to sell and purchase a home priced in the market range. Klynderud also researched employer-assisted

Theiste said various grants are available to developers from utility companies and the government offers green tax rebates for affordable housing. Homeowners may also be able to get rebates for appliances that are energy efficient. Building to meet sustainability standards is often more expensive, but Theiste said the money could be paid back eventually in lower energy bills. Carla Carlson, executive director of the Office for UMore Park Academic Initiatives, told Rosemount council members to expect more student research projects regarding UMore planning and development. “This is the first of what we anticipate will be numerous similar presentations,� she said.

the subsidy is retained in the home for the next buyer. Klynderud said the option offers families more rights and responsibilities than renting, and builds family wealth. However, the option has generated concern that it infringes on private property rights by restricting a home’s value appreciation, according to Klynderud. She also stated the option can limit the amount of wealth a low-income person can generate through home ownership. For example, a subsidy program established in Maryland’s Montgomery County was faced with challenges after building more than 12,000 affordable housing units. Through the program, low-income buyers were able to get into homes valued well over $500,000 for much less, sometimes as little as

housing options, which allows an employer to help an employee buy or rent a home. The program is flexible and can be tailored to meet the employee’s housing needs, and fit the company’s budget, according to Klynderud. Among the options companies can offer is rental assistance, counseling and home ownership classes. Another option available is for employers to offer works loans or grants to help an employee with a down payment or closing costs. The low- or zero-interest loans are paid off over time, typically five years, which encourages the employee to remain with the employer while allowing the employer to amortize the loan’s costs. Other financial incentives exist for the development of “green housing,� meaning energy efficient and made with a focus on the environmental effects of development.

count in the governor’s race. But ours and any other city with a potential recount are staying with the cities for now,� Cox said. If Judy requests a recount, the city clerk will consult with the elections staff at the county, who have experience with the process, according to Cox. Cox said county officials will offer guidance on how many judges should be hired and how long they should expect the process to take, which will determine the cost of the recount. If there are questions about the procedure, Domeier will consult City Attorney Charles LeFevere.

Opinion Thisweek Columnist Greater good comes when area chambers get involved in local political issues by Don Heinzman THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

One of the most important organizations in a community is the local chamber of commerce. This organization, which works for the betterment of business and the community, generally has the largest membership. It is influential in leadership circles because it represents the important voice and thinking of business leaders. While saying they are neutral because of a diversified membership, chambers normally do not take positions on local political issues. For the past four election cycles, a pact called the MetroNorth Leadership Fund, which is affiliated with the Metro North Chamber of Commerce, has been endorsing a slate of local candidates whom a separate board of directors believes would be favorable to business.

This separate, nine-member board discusses candidates and then votes on the ones to back. This year’s slate included Democrat as well as Republican legislative candidates. This organization raises money and helps some candidates get elected. It ran an advertisement on its favored slate. Of that slate of 22 candidates, 18 either were elected or re-elected. The Burnsville Chamber of Commerce also has a political action committee that interviews and endorses candidates for local races. Some may question a local chamber backing local candidates, but MetroNorth Leadership Fund Chair John Hartinger says that’s precisely what chambers should do for their members after studying the candidates’ qualifications. Another chamber, the Lakeville Area

Chamber of Commerce, at the request of its members did an analysis of the threequestion operating levy posed by the Lakeville Area Public School District. Todd Bornhouser, the executive director, wrote an opinion in Thisweek Newspapers explaining the analysis, but in the end said the chamber would not take an official position of support or nonsupport. Lakeville voters approved the renewal of a $3 million operating levy for 10 years but turned down a new operating levy for $7.7 million and a $940,000 technology levy. The MetroNorth Chamber Leadership Fund, like the Lakeville chamber, does not take a position on school levy referendums. They should, though, because businesses depend on a well-educated work force, and the community in which they do business needs a quality school system. Special levy elections for schools fell by the wayside in last week’s election: North

Branch, Forest Lake, Milaca, RosemountApple Valley-Eagan and Elk River all suffered defeats. Opponents of chambers getting involved in backing local issues say such involvement could hurt their businesses when people don’t agree with their choices, and they say that’s not what chambers should do. The greater good, however, comes when the chamber steps up and gets involved in passing policies, studying and taking positions on school levy referendums and electing candidates who can best serve the community as well as business.

Letters Thank you for vote Thanks from of trust, confidence John Bergman To the editor: Apple Valley is recognized as a Top 20 City in America according to CNN/Money magazine. As the mayor of our great city, I believe our people are No. 1 in America. On Nov. 2, a little over 70 percent agreed that Apple Valley has the right leadership at the right time. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for that vote of trust and confidence. As your mayor, I have treasured the relationships that have been established and grown over the years with the business community, the Chamber of Commerce, our schools, our senior citizens, athletic organizations, service organizations, our faith community and our wonderful people. Apple Valley is a very special place that welcomes people and allows them to contribute and make a difference. Former leaders of this community watch over this beloved community and continue to stay engaged in our progress. I believe that in these challenging times it is possible that the best of our potential can be achieved. Apple Valley achieved the best bond rating possible, a triple-A, in the worst recession since the Great Depression. Apple Valley understands that the tough economy impacts all of us. With that sensitivity, the vast majority will not see an increase in the city portion of their property tax. I want to thank the city administrator, our department heads, the great employees, the commissions and committees, and the City Council for all working together to create the best and most cost-effective services for our city. Thank you to Apple Valley; it is an honor and privilege to be your mayor.

To the editor: I would like to take a moment to thank the over 50,000 Apple Valley residents who voted for my reelection to the City Council. I am deeply honored to be given another four years to serve this city to the best of my ability, and I greatly appreciate the support you have given me. It is a pleasure and privilege to serve you and I look forward to continuing to work with my fellow council members in focusing on the issues I believe you elected me for: keeping property taxes low, maintaining essential services at current levels and helping maintain Apple Valley’s reputation of being in the top 20 most livable cities, along with maintaining our Aaa bond rating. I look forward to serving you. Thank you again for your support. JOHN BERGMAN Apple Valley City Council member

Cheerfully giving to the max To the editor: Thousands of charities are asking everyone in Minnesota for a donation on Give to the Max Day on Nov. 16. So how do you decide where to donate your hard-earned dollars? I believe you should give to whatever cause you feel passionate about so that you feel good about your giving rather than being overwhelmed by too many choices. For those who don’t have a charity of choice, it’s easy to learn about the endless possibilities for helping others at the GiveMN.org website. Cheerful Givers is one nonprofit to consider if you believe providing birthday gifts for kids in Minnesota whose parents can’t afford to recognize their special day is important. Michael Cuddyer of the Minnesota Twins is helping to increase donations to

Cheerful Givers by offering the shoes off his feet (autographed cleats) as a thank you in a random drawing of all donors who give cheerfully. Whatever you choose to do, we hope you know how very much every donation is appreciated. KAREN KITCHEL President, Cheerful Givers Eagan

Thank a soldier To the editor: The holidays are quickly approaching. Now is the time to think about sending that holiday package to your loved one serving overseas. Help us thank your soldiers for their service this holiday season and beyond. Our organization continually receives and accepts the names of deployed soldiers and families throughout the year – with a special emphasis on the holiday season. If you know someone who is currently serving overseas, visit our website at www. supportourtroopshh.com to submit your soldier’s information. If you know a family of a deployed soldier who could use a little extra help this holiday season or are unable to log on to our website, you can contact Jon Lombardo at (651) 755-6515. The 2010 Support Our Troops Haunted House had another great year at our eighth annual Haunted House.

ful job, in a most memorable manner. Finally, a young woman from the Academy for Sciences and Agriculture danced and dazzled to a pop tune, “Son of a Preacher Man.” She leaped, dipped, and twirled. Each of these youngsters was extremely entertaining. But in each case, so much more was going on. These young people clearly had trained for many hours. They had shown some of the most valuable qualities needed in life – practice, persistence, and dissatisfaction with effort until there is excellence. You couldn’t measure any of these performances at the annual Minnesota Association of Charter Schools conference with a standardized test. But the audience’s vigorous ovation for each showed they were deeply appreciated and admired. The same is true in almost every student artistic presentation I’ve ever seen – whether district, charter, private or parochial school. Think for a moment about your favorite music. For me, it might be Johnny Cash, or Cash and Carter, or Judy Collins, or Aaron Copeland. Our favorite music often stirs us in ways that nothing else does. At best, the arts help us realize just how much humans can do. The arts give us new insights and inspiration. They move us. They astonish us. They enrich us in ways that nothing else can. The arts are not extra fluff. They are basic to helping us understand ourselves, and each other.

Shawn Bakken, right, is joined by Tim Kanaley and Megan Ward in the cast of “Mind Over Matt,� a stage comedy presented by Expressions-Lakeville Community Theater. considering going back to school, prefers community theater to reality TV. Regarding his experience on “Beauty and the Geek,� Bakken said he would “definitely do it over again� if

given the opportunity. However, the show’s tendency to condense hours of footage down to the juiciest, most drama-filled tidbits left him less than ambivalent about the cultural value

of reality TV. In general, “reality TV sucks,� he said with a laugh. Andrew Miller is at andrew. miller@ecm-inc.com.

The Rosemount boys cross country team ran strong at the Class AA state meet last weekend in Northfield, coming in third overall. It’s the third top-three finish for the Irish in the past five years. They had two allstate performers as well in Shane McCallum (fourth) and Nathan Rock (ninth). It’s quite the feat considering the Irish started the season unranked. “Anytime you can qualify for state and then get on the podium is a good day,” head coach Chris Harder said. Rosemount narrowly beat Burnsville for the third time this season. “They have a good program and we’ve enjoyed the friendly rivalry the last few seasons,” Harder said. Burnsville finished in fourth place with 141 points, seven points behind Rosemount. Cole O’Brien finished in first in the team competition, and he was second individually behind Adam

Eagan High School fell a few plays short against Cretin-Derham Hall, losing 23-14 in the Section 4-5A playoffs for the second straight year on Nov. 5. The Wildcats held a 1413 lead in the fourth quarter, but the ball bounced in favor of the Raiders from there. “We had a chance there,” Eagan head coach Rick Sutton said. “We did a great job at the start of the second half. We held the ball. We had a great defensive stand.” The Raiders took the lead after a long, time-consuming drive by Cretin-Derham Photo by Rick Orndorf Hall that led to a field goal, Several Eagan football players gang tackle a Cretin-Derham which was a minor vicHall runner in the Section 4-5A finals on Nov. 5. Eagan lost tory for the Wildcats even though they lost the lead 23-14.

16-14. In the next series, deep in their own territory, a mishandled lateral from quarterback Jameson Parsons to Bob Rada led to a fumble. The Raiders recovered and scored a few plays later. “That was the turning point in the game,” Sutton said. “We just needed a break or two and we didn’t get it.” Eagan needed two scores to retake the lead, but there wasn’t much time left. The next Wildcats’ drive stalled at midfield and they never recovered. The first half was defined by two long, methodical drives by Cretin-Derham Hall that led to 13 points. “We just didn’t have the ball very much in the first half,” Sutton said. “We got a little bit more rhythm in

the second half.” Three-year starter Parsons was starting in his first game since separating his shoulder three weeks ago and made it count. “He played great considering,” Sutton said. He ran 57 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter to cut the lead to 13-7 and he scored the team’s second touchdown off a 7-yard run. Last season Eagan also lost to Cretin-Derham Hall 21-20 in the section semifinals. “The hardest things is to look into the seniors’ eyes when it’s all over,” Sutton said.

Sports Irish grind out section victory over Lightning by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The Rosemount High School football team qualified for its sixth trip to state and third since 2006 thanks to a 29-18 victory over Eastview on Nov. 5. It was the third time Eastview and Rosemount have met in the Section 3-5A final. Rosemount won in 2008 and Eastview won last year. It was as close as anyone has played the undefeated Irish in 2010. The Lightning had more yards, 304 to 295, but five turnovers – four interceptions and a fumble. Rosemount held the possession advantage to grind out the win. Big plays kept Eastview in the game. Ryan Reger scored off a 70-yard run

from Nate McKenzie, kept the offense moving. But Rosemount’s Andrew Hausmann wasn’t going to be denied a trip to state. He scored three of Rosemount’s four rushing touchdowns. The other came from Kevin Larson in the final 4:29 of the game. The Irish earned the right to play Lakeville South in the quarterfinals of the Class 5A state tournament on Thursday.

The Apple Valley boys soccer team won its second consecutive and ninth overall state title on Nov. 4 at the Metrodome. It wasn’t easy. The Eagles fought off an upstart Lakeville North team 2-1 in the semifinals and broke Minneapolis Southwest’s heart in the final 3-0. Both Apple Valley and Southwest were undefeated leading up to the state tournament. One was a suburban team on a 46-game win streak defending its state championship. The other a city team making its first appearance at state since 2006. The Eagles allowed five goals leading up to state and Southwest allowed just two. Something had to give. It turns out, playoff experience mattered most. If the Eagles had an edge, it was emotionally. “We got that target on our back,� senior forward Tom Obarski said. “Teams come out hard on us. Sometimes a little too hard. They expended a little bit too much energy.� Like any state final, it took a few minutes for both teams to get a feel for the other’s play style. Once they settled in, Southwest held the possession advantage. The Lakers took eight shots on goal in the first half while Apple Valley took four. “They were running it

down our throats in the first half, but we played pretty good defense,� Eagle senior keeper Tim Van Beck said. Despite an onslaught of shots in the first half, the Lakers failed to get the ball past Van Beck and his band of resolute defenders. Unhappy with their returns, the Lakers started to press, leading to a yellow card in the final moments in the first half. “(At) halftime we got a really good speech,� Obarski said. “We came out with a lot more intensity and focus.� During a free kick at 42:35, Simon Goettl found Hudson Fasching open for a score. “From there, that loosened them up,� head coach Chuck Scanlon said. The Eagles have made their living off set pieces since soccer became popular in Minnesota. “We practice those all the time,� Scanlon said. “These guys know they can really break a game open.� A few moments later Fasching broke free on a fast break, got an open look and all of a sudden Southwest had doubled their goals allowed on the season. The Eagles put the game to bed when Dane Grundstrom found Obarski for the third goal. “We’re a second half team,� Van Beck said. “We’ve been like that the whole year. We knew they were going to be a little bit tired.� Van Beck had eight saves.

Apple Valley’s Thomas Obarski fights off a Minneapolis Southwest Laker in the state finals. Apple Valley was rated No. 1 in the state when the season opened. Southwest was never far behind on the list. The 2010 Eagles defined themselves by their friendship and determination. “This year we had a little

more desire,� Scanlon said. “We had some good players up the middle and we built around it. They really stepped up their game.� Andy Rogers is at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Local moms invent children’s tattoo Temporary tattoos meant to help keep kids safe by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Two Lakeville moms have started a business that gives new meaning to the old phrase, “Safety in numbers.� Alisha Perkins, wife of Twins pitcher Glen Perkins, and friend Anna Biehn this year started a temporary tattoo business, I.D. Ink, meant to help lost children return home by using a safe, temporary tattoo to write a parent’s cell phone number on children’s skin. The non-toxic temporary tattoos are fun to wear and allow children to be able to relate their parent’s contact information to a rescuer if they are lost. Perkins said the tattoos are best worn inside of the child’s forearm or on the shoulder so the information is only exposed if needed. Children enjoy the designs, said Perkins, and their fun look allows parents to raise important safety issues in a way that isn’t frightening. “The tattoos allow par-

ents to ‌ have a conversation with their kids about something that can be scary – getting lost – but talk about it in a fun way,â€? she said. Perkins said the temporary tattoos are particularly helpful for daycare providers taking a group of children on an outing, chaperones charged with keeping track of children on school field trips or for families on vacations and outings. The tattoos are less than two-inches wide and tall, stay on the skin for three to five days, and can be removed with baby oil. Available designs include a dinosaur skeleton, motorcycle, a princess and a butterfly; each tattoo includes the words, “If lost, please call:â€? and allows parents to write a phone number next to the tattoo. While the concept only came to market this year, it appears to be popular with kids. Perkins said 2,000 children lined up at the Minnesota State Fair to receive a free tattoo. And she said some par-

ents who said their child knew their phone number were surprised to learn they actually didn’t have it memorized. “For the most part, the response was overwhelmingly positive,� Perkins said. She added that two children whose parents didn’t get the tattoos wound up getting lost later, coming to their booth and asking for help to reunite them with their parents. The FDA-approved tattoos are available online at a cost of $9.99 for a package of 12, or 24 tattoos for $17.99, plus shipping at www.idink. com. Included with the tattoos is a special pen to write a phone number. I.D. Ink tattoos are also available at Uber Baby, 1628 West End Blvd. in St. Louis Park. Laura Adelmann is at laura. adelmann@ecm-inc.com.

Lakeville has multiple senior living campuses in works Hosanna! Lutheran Church moving forward with senior facility; second group eyeing Lake Kingsley for campus by Derrick Williams THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Lakeville, already home to one senior-living facility that offers a spectrum of care to its residents, could have two more such facilities by 2012. Hosanna! Lutheran Church’s congregation on Oct. 31 overwhelmingly approved a plan to construct a senior-housing development to be built on the west side of Hosanna’s 58-acre property, located at 9600 163rd St. W. In addition, a separate senior-living project from different developers to be located on Lake Kingsley, near the Chart House Restaurant, was expected to be presented to the Lakeville Economic and Development Commission on Tuesday, Nov. 9. Both projects would offer more than 80 units for seniors looking for independent- or assistedliving homes, as well as memory-care suites. The Lake Kingsley project would be developed by Southview Senior Living Management and offer 32 memory-care units, 46 assisted-living

units, and 23 independent-living units at the proposed 35,000-squarefoot campus. The facility would be directly adjacent to the Chart House, located at 11287 Klamath Trail. According to Hosanna, its facility is envisioned to have 20 independent-living units, 47 assisted-living units, 24 memory-care units and two guest suites. That said, the exact mix is still in flux and could change as plans are finalized, according to the church. Lakeville City Administrator Steve Mielke confirmed that Hosanna and its potential partner, Ebenezer, have shown the city a concept for the development. “In concept, it looks pretty good,� Mielke said. “But we haven’t seen a proposal that’s ready to be turned in to the city or that can start the formal processes.� Hosanna’s congregation approved moving forward with the project at its annual meeting, 92 percent to 8 percent, according to the church. According to reports,

the Lake Kingsley project has been in the works for a number of years. Frank Schoben, Chart House’s former owner and the current property owner of the land the facility would occupy, didn’t immediately return a phone call seeking comment. Reports suggest ground breaking for the Lake Kingsley project could happen in January of 2011, and the facility could open in March of 2012. As for the Hosanna project, the church says the facility’s units will likely be market-based and not income-based. The Lake Kingsley project would also have units available for those with lower incomes, according to reports. Hosanna’s lead pastor, Bill Bohline, said in a letter to the congregation that the housing facility at Hosanna is designed to be attached to the west end of the 115,000-squarefoot church building. The church and the facility will share a covered dropoff and entryway and other services, such as a cafeteria, bank, and general
