Two measles cases confirmed in Dakota County Child first reported suffering with disease still hospitalized by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Two confirmed cases of measles in Dakota County are under investigation by the Minnesota Department of Health. Both cases were found in babies who were not vaccinated against measles. The first child, a Dakota
County 1-year-old, became sick in early August after a trip to Kenya, where an outbreak of the disease is occurring. A second case was found in a 15-month-old child who came down with the disease after visiting the family of the first child. Both children were hospitalized, but only the first one re-
mains there and was last reported in critical condition, according to the Minnesota Health Department. “The first baby was diagnosed quite early,� said Claudia Miller, MDH manager for Immunizations, Tuberculosis and International Health. “We don’t know why some babies are more severely ill if there are not other underlying conditions.� Two health care facilities in
Dakota County are part of the state’s investigation, and Miller, noting that workers and others who may have been exposed are being tested, but none has shown positive for the disease. Doctors are on alert and testing more patients for exposure to the disease. “Every day our lab is running two or three tests just because everyone has a high index of
suspicion for measles right now,� Miller said. People who may have been exposed to the measles, which is highly contagious and can be life-threatening, are notified and offered a vaccine or immune globulin to decrease the chance of coming down with the disease. The MDH is emphasizing the need for immunizations and especially encouraged for See Measles, 9A
District 196 beats state, Job training under the microscope national averages on ACT by Jessica Harper THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
For the fifth consecutive year, students in the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District exceeded the state and national averages on the ACT. A total of 1,672 high school graduates in the district – which is 83 percent – took the college entrance exam. This is higher than the state average of 72 percent. Those who took the ACT this year in District 196 on average received a score of 24, which is 1.1 point higher than the state average of 22.9. The ACT has scores that range between 1 and 36. Steve Troen, director of teaching and learning, said he believes the district’s teachers play a large part in the ACT scores. “The biggest thing is that many teachers incorporate ACT standards into course work in addition to state standards,� he said. The district also offers ACT preparatory classes to help students ready themselves for the test, Troen said. The Minnesota average

U.S. Sen. Al Franken talks with Larry Raddatz, director of Manufacturing and Railroad of Dakota County Technical College’s Customized Training Division, on Friday, Aug. 19, about the college’s nationally known nanotechnology center, which provides training for advanced manufacturing jobs, which often go unfilled due to a lack of skilled workers. Following the tour, he met with college President Ronald Thomas, leaders of the nanotechnology program and representatives from leading businesses that have hired program graduates. In the coming months, Franken said he will work with the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee to reauthorize the Workforce Investment Act, which funds job training programs like those at DCTC’s nanotechnology center.

A group of community members has organized an Italian Dinner on Saturday, Aug. 27 to raise money to help pay medical bills needed to treat Ronan, the 10-month-old twin son of Erik and Nicole Packard of Rosemount. Despite having insurance, the Packards are left with thousands of dollars in medical bills, according to event organizers. The event from 4-7 p.m. at the Rosemount VFW will include dinner, raffles, bake sale, and a few surprises, organizers say. Volunteers are being sought to help serve the dinner and help with other aspects of the event. An RSVP is requested but not required by emailing Sherri DeBettignies at sdebett@gmail.com to reserve at the pre-sale ticket price. At the door, the price is $10 per adult and $7 per child 10 and under. Pre-sale price is $8 per adult and $5 per child 10 and under. More information about the family is available at: www.babyronanpackard.weebly.com. “We are just so grateful and appreciative,� Nicole said. “It is the
beautiful side of humanity that we have been so blessed to receive.� This is the last in a series of fundraisers for the family. The group’s first benefit – Rollin’ for Ronan – raised over $2,000. The event being organized by members from the Rosemount VFW, the Yellow Ribbon Committee, and other Rosemount residents. The VFW and Yellow Ribbon groups are involved because Erik Packard served 13-plus years in the military. He was part of the 79th Military Police, the Rochester Red Bull Division of National Guard Rosemount, and the Minnesota 13th Psychological Operations Special Forces Detachment, Arden Hills. He has been deployed to Germany and Iraq twice and once to Korea. Erik has been awarded many medals due to his proficiency and exemplary behavior, including a Meritorious Service Medal for his selflessness during a car bomb explosion that claimed the life of his friend, Jeffrey Nichols, and saved the lives of others. – Tad Johnson

After newborn has surgery, he is making baby steps of progress
Erik and Nicole Packard felt helpless as they waited for their son born Nov. 15, 2010, to emerge from surgery to repair several of his vital organs. After they were told Ronan survived the work to give his heart and lung room to function, the Rosemount parents’ wait was not over. Ronan was on life support and a ventilator until Dec. 6 when doctors said his lung had started to grow and he was breathing. “That day wasn’t just relief, it was the first time we knew that Ronan would live, because he was functioning on his own,� Nicole said.

Drivers in Burnsville may have found traffic at key intersections moving more smoothly thanks to flashing yellow arrows on traffic signals. The flashing arrows allow waiting motorists to make a left-hand turn after yielding to oncoming traffic. The arrows were added this summer to signal lights at three Nicollet Avenue intersections – at Burnsville Parkway, 126th Street and Travelers Trail. Burnsville’s first flashing yellow arrows were activated last year at Burnhaven Drive and 141st Street, near the Costco store that opened in November. The newer arrows have been operating for about a month and a half, said Public Works Director Steve Albrecht. The first was on the new signal at 126th Street, next to Nicollet Commons Park in the Heart of the City. “It’s basically something that allows the intersection to function a little more efficiently and take advantage of times of day when there isn’t a lot of oncoming traffic,� Albrecht said. They’re not right for every intersection, depending on traffic volumes and patterns and intersection configuration, Albrecht said. But the city will consider them at more intersections when traffic signals are scheduled for improvements, he said. “We’ve had no complaints about them,� Albrecht said. Burnsville isn’t alone. The Minnesota Department of Transportation announced last September that the signal at a major

The signal at the intersection of Nicollet Avenue and 126th Street was the first of three along Nicollet to get flashing yellow left-turn arrows. interchange in Woodbury would be among the nation’s first to feature the arrows. “This is the biggest change in traffic signal design and operation in the past 40 years,� said Jerry Kotzenmacher, MnDOT senior engineering specialist, in a September 2010 news release. “We have shop-tested these signals for many months and are confident the signals will improve safety and reduce congestion.� This spring, Dakota County installed the arrows on two Eagan intersections — at Yankee Doodle and Blue Cross roads, and at Yankee Doodle and Coachman roads. The arrows move more vehicles through an inter-
section with less delay by allowing drivers to turn left when there’s a gap in oncoming traffic, the county’s Transportation Department said in a May report. “The flashing yellow arrow is also expected to improve intersection safety by reducing the number of collisions,� the department said. The Federal Highway Administration authorized use of flashing yellow arrows in December 2009. In a federally approved pilot project, MnDOT installed flashing yellows in 2006 at Highway 110 and Highway 149 in Mendota Heights. John Gessner is at burnsville. thisweek@ecm-inc.com.

Lindell Roy, Allan age 88 of Apple Valley, went to his eternal rest and Master on Aug. 19, 2011. He is preceded in death by his parents, Gustav and Alfrida Lindell; survived by his loving wife of 64 years, Elaine; children, Robert (Delphina Souza), Charlotte (Rick) Green, Barb (Bob) Behan, Richard (Janice Anderson) and Ralph (Mona Selim) Lindell; 10 grandchildren and 1 great granddaughter. Allan will be deeply missed by his family and friends. Allan (yes he went by his middle name) was born March 17, 1923 , in St. Paul, MN. He was the only child of Alfrida Charlotta (nee: Berglund) and Bror Gustav Lindell, immigrant Swedes that came to America to escape the terrible famine that gripped Sweden. Allan worked for the railroad for over 30 years, interrupted only by his military service in the U.S. Army during WWII. Early in his career he saw the railroad transitioning from steam locomotives to diesel electric locomotives, so he took the initiative to take home study courses in electronics from DeVry Institute. As his career progressed he moved his family roughly every 6 years, going to St. Paul, MN, westward to Staples, MN, up to East Grand Forks, MN, then southward to Moorhead, MN, then back to Staples, and finally over to Superior, WI, where he retired as the foreman of Locomotives. Allan loved fishing (he even made time for some fishing on his honeymoon), canoeing, camping, family vacations and reunions, bowling, and doing home improvements. He sang in the church choir, was active in Gideonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bible Society, but most of all he loved his wife and family. A special thank you to the Centennial House Staff in Apple Valley, the St. Jude Hospice Program and the pastoral care staff at Grace Lutheran Church. Funeral Services will be held 11 AM on Thursday (8/25) at Grace Lutheran Church, 7800 Co. Rd. 42., Apple Valley with visitation on Wednesday from 5-8pm at the White Funeral Home, 14560 Pennock Ave., Apple Valley (952 432 2001) also 1 hr prior to Service at Church.

Opinion ECM Editorial Using tomorrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dollars to pay for todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s education The solution to ending the state shutdown last month was accomplished, in part, by delaying payments to school districts. That means the state will pay next year part of the revenue owed to school districts for operation this year. The state will shift the payment to the future, but the bills will still have to be paid now by districts. So if you have the bills but not the revenue, what do you do? You spend what reserves you might have and then borrow. You pay interest on what you borrow and you promise that when the shift is ended you will pay back the loan. This year, school districts will receive 60 percent of their state
revenue, and next year they will receive the other 40 percent. Next year, school districts will receive the 40 percent that was delayed; however, they will again only receive 60 percent of the state revenue they have coming that year, and the other 40 percent will again be delayed. Only when the state comes up with the 40 percent to pay off the debt will the payments be back on schedule. What if the state didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t delay payments? Well, there are two actions: Raise taxes or cut programs and services. To avoid raising taxes or cutting programs the state borrowed and used school districts as the vehicle to borrow. Some folks argue that costs
should have been reduced and programs cut. Frankly, that sounds great unless itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your child, now in school, who will experience the impact of those cuts. In fact, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just a school issue. There is always the possibility that once the cuts were made we would gladly welcome the taxes, but who wants to sacrifice a year or two of their sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s education to a public tax reality check? The delay in school payments from the state bought time and not much else. So what are we doing with this valuable time? The fear is that the valuable time will be filled with discourse dominated by generalities, accusations, philosophies, personalities and end-
less political commercials. Current polls indicate that there is some public support for both cuts and tax increases. Why not use this time to specify the potential cuts and the potential tax increase? Borrowing is now a reality, so before we get back to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;he said-she saidâ&#x20AC;? back-and-forth, can we ask for a description of the choices we face? Can we ask the decision-makers who closed down the state a few months ago to now stay at the table and work on solutions? Can we ask for enough sunlight on the process so we can see and hear the reality of the choices and the quality of the discussion? Can we get a shared vision for
Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s students and the beginning of a plan to achieve that vision? Can we tell the parents of Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 800,000 students just how their children will be affected next year, and each year thereafter? Can we listen to our parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; reactions to those proposals before our views are set in stone? We borrowed against our childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future to save their future. Now we have to make sure that loan and that risk arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t squandered. An editorial from the ECM Editorial Board.

As opening of school approaches, parents should heed the warning that students are being bullied by other students physically, verbally and on social media. Despite school policies on bullying, some students, particularly gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgenders, are being bullied. Worsening the problem is cyberbullying, done by students anonymously over social media and outside school hours. Parents need to get involved and tell their students bullying is wrong and warn they will not back them if they are bullies. According to Dakota County Attorney Jim Backstrom, who lectures on the dangers of bullying, 80 percent of parents in society donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see bullying as a concern. Backstrom says that bullying is an early form of aggressive, violent behavior and points out that 60 percent of bullies have a criminal record by the time they are 20. Parents also need to be concerned because their children could be the ones bullied. Backstrom says that 75 percent of kids at one point in their lives have been bullied. He also tells parents that as many as 160,000 children miss school every day in America for fear of being bullied. Parents generally regard bullying as something natural, preferring to let it be a boys-will-be-boys and girls-will-be-girls matter. Some parents even suggest that if their child is picked on, the child should strike back. Backstrom says this is bad advice and only irritates the bully. Parents also are advised not to take lightly their childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s complaint about getting
bullied in school. They immediately should listen to their child, assure their support and contact school authorities and alert them to the problem. Delaying and brushing off the complaint will only cause the victim to withdraw, which could lead to other problems, including suicide. Parents first should notify the classroom teacher and expect results. If they fail to get cooperation, Backstrom says, parents should take the matter all the way up to the school superintendent and the school board, if necessary. School officials are telling staff that bullying and harassment of students will not be tolerated. Guided by official school policies, the bullies eventually could be expelled from school. Backstrom says he has found that school officials want to stop any bullying and protect the safety of all children. Regarding cyberspace bullying on social media, parents of a bullied student should go to the parents of anyone bullying online. Furthermore, Backstrom said if their children are harassed and threatened they should report it to the police, because harassment, stalking and terroristic threats are against state law. Parents must take the bullying of their child seriously and act on the matter immediately, because their childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s welfare is at stake.

Letters Wardlow is right for the times To the editor: Following this past state legislative session many voters may be inclined to take the easy way out by prescribing to the latest mantra: â&#x20AC;&#x153;throw the incumbents out.â&#x20AC;? There is no denying that this past state legislative session has not been a pretty sight. Political ideologies were sharply defined as well as divided. This political climate would understandably generate
voter anger. Think carefully before allowing your vote to be cast in such anger. As a voting citizen of Eagan District 38B I am grateful during this troublesome economic era to have Doug Wardlow as my state representative. Wardlowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s character remains true and uncompromised in that he has not swayed from his campaign pledge to rein-in spending, downsize government, and enact legislation that unleashes the power of free enterprise, which in turn drives private-sector job
creation. This troublesome economic era calls for the retention of a legislator of uncompromising character, one who understands that the future of our state depends upon the growth of free enterprise and not big government. Wardlow is the tried and true legislator for these troublesome times. Think carefully before allowing your vote to be cast in anger.

While there is deep division in the U.S. about some issues, a new national poll released last week shows strong, and sometimes surprising support for several key ideas in public education. Young people and families in Lakeville and Farmington gain from the way these ideas are being applied locally. The results come from the 43rd annual collaboration between Gallup, one of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most respected polling companies, and Phi Delta Kappa, a national education organization. When I look at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s PDK/Gallup poll results, I see three trends emerging: respect, empowerment, and choice. First, as a former urban public school teacher, married to a 33-year veteran of urban public schools, and as a parent of an urban public school teacher, I was gratified to see that two-thirds or more of Americans respect the profession since they would encourage â&#x20AC;&#x153;the brightest person you knowâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;a child of yoursâ&#x20AC;? to become a public school teacher. While some educators feel a lack of respect, this poll found considerable support for the profession. Minnesota, and Farmington/Lakevillearea families, benefit from this because for some teaching openings, there are literally hundreds of people applying. Unlike some states that have a difficult time attracting teachers, Minnesota actually has a surplus in some teaching areas. In fact, some states come to Minnesota to recruit teachers. Second, that esteem is demonstrated in the willingness of 72 percent of poll respondents to empower educators by â&#x20AC;&#x153;giving teachers flexibility to teach in ways they think best,â&#x20AC;? rather than require them â&#x20AC;&#x153;to follow a prescribed curriculum.â&#x20AC;? I hope creative, committed, hard-working teachers find these responses encouraging. Third, just as most poll respondents want teachers to be free to select materials and strategies, 74 percent support allowing families â&#x20AC;&#x153;to choose which public schools in
the community the students attend, regardless of where they live.â&#x20AC;? Seventy percent also favor â&#x20AC;&#x153;the idea of charter public schools.â&#x20AC;? Poll trends show support growing for public school choice, including charters. Minnesota families benefit from a variety of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dual Creditâ&#x20AC;? options. These allow hard-working high school students to earn college credit while still in high school. Students can simultaneously save literally thousands of dollars in college costs, and by challenging themselves, be well prepared for college. See www.centerforschoolchange.org/high-school-college-enrollment/index.html. Area families also benefit from a number of strong public school options that are available. These include local public schools, â&#x20AC;&#x153;onlineâ&#x20AC;? public schools, open enrollment into nearby districts, the School for Environmental Studies (Zoo School) in Apple Valley and several magnet schools. There also are several charter public schools available, including Paideia in Apple Valley and Seven Hills Classical Academy in Bloomington. The poll has just over 40 questions, and is available online. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at www.pdkintl.org/ poll/index.htm. Yes, there are strong, deep divisions on some issues in this country. But this poll shows there is very strong agreement on a number of key ideas in education. These responses are consistent with empowering educators to decide how they teach. Some educators want more respect, but oppose allowing families to choose among district and charter public schools. Strong majorities of the public support both educator and family public school choice. Joe Nathan, a former public school teacher, administrator and PTA president, and a parent of three public school graduates, now directs the Center for School Change at Macalester College.

Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state runner-up excited to get back on the field by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Last season, the Irish favored a straight-ahead, no nonsense, multifaceted running attack. Logan Lindberg is the leading returning rusher who had more than 300 yards last season. Isaiah Lufkin and Charles Broback have experience along with senior captain quarterback Nate Lemoine. The base of a good running attack starts with the offensive line. The only returning offensive starters are linemen Stefan Sauer and Brandon Forcier. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense held teams to two scores or less per game except against Eastview and Wayzata. Five starters return mostly in the secondary and linebacker. All-conference honorable mention member Matt Larson will lead Bryce Wilberding and Jake Mortenson at linebacker with Jordan Tumilson and Jake Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Malley at defensive back. Rosemount will head to Bloomington Kennedy for the season opener on Thursday. The teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home opener is Sept. 9 when Burnsville comes to town.
Last year was the most exciting season for Rosemount football in recent memory. In the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third appearance at state in five years, the Irish finished runner-up in Class 5A and won the Section 3-5A title. It was the highest point the team ascended since 1981 when the school won the Class AA title. Good teams usually rely on several seniors and the Irish were no different. Seven all-conference members have since graduated along with six members of the honorable mention team. But turnover is nothing new to the Irish or their opponents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are excited about the challenges we will face each week in the South Suburban Conference,â&#x20AC;? coach Jeff Erdmann said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope to be a hard-working unit that plays as a team and represents ourselves well every night.â&#x20AC;?

Lightning primed for another run Eastview offense loaded with experience at the skilled positions by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
The Eastview football team has played in the section final the past four years and the players donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plan on ending that streak in 2011. Even after a slow start in 2010, the Lightning won seven of eight leading to the Section 3-5A final. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now, of course, we want to be section champions,â&#x20AC;? offensive lineman Zack Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It comes down to how much work we want to do during the season. If we work hard, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no doubt this team can get back there.â&#x20AC;? This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version of the Lightning has a little more
experience, particularly on offense, including the all conference Johnson. Johnson and Kai Matsuhashi lead an offensive line that will protect quarterback Rex Reger. Reger will have plenty of options whether heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called to throw or hand the ball off. Running backs Montreal Roberts, Alex Sukar and LeAndre Kennedy have returned along with receivers Adam Moorse, Austin Hebig and tight end Kenyon Phillips. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mentally weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ahead of where we were last year at this point,â&#x20AC;? head coach Kelly Sherwin said. While the offense is

Eagle football to travel by air Apple Valley football plans to take advantage of experienced passing game by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
The Apple Valley Eagles are planning an aerial attack this season after a frustrating 2010. Although the Eagles went 2-7 last year, they held a lead late and/or lost by one score in their first four games, all losses.

and seniors meaning several of those starters are back. One thing the Eagles will have on their side is depth as very few players will need to be on both offense and defense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Football is about numbers and you need a good 30-35 kids to play,â&#x20AC;? head coach Mike Fritze said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year we needed a few guys to fill two of those
spots. Practice-wise that really hurt us.â&#x20AC;? On offense, new quarterback Matt Thomas has veteran receivers Grant Christian, Mitch Hechsel and Steve Wilson to make the transition easier. The offense will rely on a spread formation to take advantage of its wide receivers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are miles ahead See Eagles, 10A

Picturing Dakota County by Rick Orndorf: For All the Cows
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Cowsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; perform amid the livestock For a band with cows in the title, they are about as far away from country as possible. Over three months ago, a trio of Farmington High School classmates formed the rock band For All the Cows. Sean Donohue on drums, Alex Dunn on bass, and Zach Gonet on guitar were the winners of the Pan-O-Prog Battle of the Bands in July and finished fourth in the 2011 Dakota County Fair Amateur Talent Contest. The band seems to have their parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approval. Dunn said that the Cowsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; parents are open to the music and tend to support the band by coming to their shows. Alexâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basement is the preferred practice venue where the band works on one of their favorite songs, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beat Around the Bush.â&#x20AC;?

Clubhouse construction wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t affect play at Valleywood by Andrew Miller THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Golfers will still be able to â&#x20AC;&#x153;hit the linksâ&#x20AC;? at Valleywood Golf Course during construction of the new clubhouse. The Apple Valley City Council last month approved a new, $2.96 million clubhouse at the city-run, 18-hole golf course, and construction is expected to begin in October and last about a year. According to the preliminary construction timeline, the first phase involves putting in footings, foundations and utilities; the second phase, slated to begin in early 2012, will see the structure taking shape with sheet rock and interior ACT/from 1A and national averages every year since 2006. In 2011, Eagan High School graduates had the highest average score of 25, which was followed by

Built around 1980 for $85,000, it has been showing structural defects and requiring increasingly expensive maintenance work in recent years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While the building has served its purpose over the last 30 years, it has simply reached the end of its useful life,â&#x20AC;? Valleywood manager Jim Zinck wrote in a memo to the City Council. The old clubhouse will be demolished once the new one opens to the public, Johnson said.

Hastings City Council Member Mike Slavik said on Tuesday that he will seek election to the Dakota County Board seat that is being vacated by longtime District 1 Commissioner Joe Harris. Harrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; seat will be on the 2012 ballot along with those of fellow commissioners Tom Egan (portion of Eagan and area to the north), Will Branning (Apple ValleyRosemount), and Liz Workman (Burnsville). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Joe has been a dedicated public servant who has served the district well,â&#x20AC;? Slavik said in a press release of the board member since 1981. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am running because the county will face a new generation of challenges and I represent a unique mix of private and public sector skills that can meet those challenges.â&#x20AC;? District 1 includes Farmington, Hastings and the townships of Eureka, Empire, Castle Rock and others in southeast Dakota County. Slavik, a Hastings native, is serving his second term on
the Hastings City Council as an at-large member. He also serves on the Dakota County Communications Center Board and the Highway 61 Bridge Visual Quality Team. While on the council, Slavik has chaired the parks and recreation, operations and public safety committees and serves on the finance and planning committees. He describes himself as a moderate with a record of bringing different views together to accomplish initiatives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The most important and rewarding part of my job as an elected official is to listen to citizensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; concerns and work with them to find resolution,â&#x20AC;? he said. Slavik stresses the balance county government must have between preserving a high quality of life and services while addressing budget pressures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has to start with innovative thinking and bold vision,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can all be

Easter pastor follows road paved by aunt, mother Kristen Capel to be first female lead pastor at Easter Lutheran Church by Jessica Harper THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
For nearly two decades, the Rev. Kristen Capel has followed a road paved by women â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including those in her family â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who sidestepped the norm by becoming Lutheran pastors. Now Capel will be paving a road of her own by becoming the first woman to lead Easter Lutheran Church in Eagan. Capel, 38, will succeed the Rev. Jim Borgschatz, who formed the congregation the same year Capel was born. As one of the first few women to be ordained during the 1970s, Capelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aunt, Connie Jensen, was among those who inspired her to become a Lutheran pastor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I heard she was going to seminary school, I realized for the first time it was possible for me,â&#x20AC;? Capel said.
Her mother was also instrumental in Capelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to join the church. As a young woman, Capelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother dreamed of becoming a pastor, but at the time, that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an option for women. At age 63 Capelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother finally fulfilled her dream and was ordained in 2004 into the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Capel said she took an interest in the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teachings as a young girl. Her faith stayed strong while she was a student at Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa, where she received a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in music and religion. Capel initially hesitated to enroll in seminary school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I fought it at first, because I thought Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be under a microscope,â&#x20AC;? she said. Eventually, Capel decided to take the plunge by enrolling in Wartburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
seminary school. Becoming an ordained pastor turned out to be quite a rewarding experience, she said. After seminary school, Capel took an internship in Seattle, Wash. Her first full-time pastoral job was in Roanoke, Va., where she stayed for a few years before moving to another congregation in Racine, Wis. About four years later, her husband, Dan, accepted a civil engineering job in the Twin Cities. The couple and their two young daughters moved to Rosemount in 2006, and Capel became an associate pastor at Easter â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an ELCA congregation. Unlike many of the women before her, Capel said she has faced very few barriers as a female church leader. Capel said she believes this is due to the EL-
CAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progressive nature. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know the generation before me had a very difficult time, and I am very grateful to those who paved the way for me,â&#x20AC;? she said. The best part of being a pastor, Capel said, is it enables her to share good news in times of sorrow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m able to bring people on a journey from sadness to hope,â&#x20AC;? she said. Though the job comes with many rewards, it also has its challenges, Capel said. Overcoming misconceptions about the institution is often the most difficult, she said. All too often younger generations perceive the church as something for their grandparents, thinking its strict rules donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t offer anything for them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to find ways to make a difference,â&#x20AC;? she said.
Honors pile high for leader in field of developmental disability THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Colleen Wieck was just starting her career when Minnesota began its long march toward deinstitutionalization of people with developmental disabilities. She was working at the Itasca Developmental Achievement Center in Coleraine when the Welsch case commenced in 1972. It was a class action on behalf of developmentally disabled people languishing in state hospitals. Case files revealed that â&#x20AC;&#x153;very minor things,â&#x20AC;? conditions such as epilepsy, could land you in a state hospital, said Wieck, a state and national leader in her field who recently won yet another prestigious award. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had people who had lobotomies,â&#x20AC;? the Burnsville resident said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And people who had experimental surgeries. We were able to assist people leaving institutions who had a variety of these injustices, whether it was medical experimentation, restraints, aversive treatments.â&#x20AC;? Wieck went on to write a series of 30 policy papers on the Welsch consent decree, which led to closing of state institutions for developmentally disabled people, the last of whom left the state hospital system in 2000.
Measles/from 1A
Despite its early injustices, Minnesota was the 10th state to end institutionalization of developmentally disabled people and â&#x20AC;&#x153;has been a leader in this field for decades,â&#x20AC;? Wieck said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because of the close relationship between the parents, advocates, and both the Legislature and members of Congress. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bipartisan,â&#x20AC;? she said. As leader of the federally funded Minnesota Governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Council on Developmental Disabilities, Wieck is especially proud of Partners in Policymaking. She was the primary creator of the widely used leadership training program, begun in 1987, for adults with disabilities and parents of young children with disabilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It looks like well over 20,000 people have now graduated across the country, and more than 2,000 internationally,â&#x20AC;? Wieck said. The council has archived state, national and international histories of developmental disability in society, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What happens when you teach these classes is people will say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I had no idea about history,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; because they think history began with the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when in fact we started with 1500 B.C.â&#x20AC;?
and rubella) vaccine is given to children at 12-15 months of age, but should be given to children 6-12 months of age who will be traveling internationally. Symptoms of the measles usually appear 8 to 12 days after exposure and begin with a fever. Other symptoms include runny nose, cough, loss of appetite, watery eyes and a rash. The rash usually moves
from the hairline to the face and proceeds down the body. It usually lasts five to six days. Vomiting or diarrhea can also accompany these symptoms. Measles is spread through the air by infectious droplets and is typically transmitted from four days before the rash is visible to four days after the rash appears. No treatment is available

Colleen Wieck and the first written mention of disability. The language people use around disability â&#x20AC;&#x153;communicates how we value people,â&#x20AC;? Wieck said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 2005 the (Minnesota) Legislature approved a bill to update and modernize the language,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So we substituted â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;developmental disabilitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Râ&#x20AC;&#x2122; word (retardation), and we substituted â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;disabilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;handicap,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; word, in rules and statutes.â&#x20AC;? But the No. 1 issue by far for people with developmental disabilities is jobs, Wieck said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of providers in Minnesota that do a great job of helping people get employment,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think because of the recession weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen a decrease in the number of people (with jobs).

ficials would want to ensure another retail complex would compliment others in the area, Palmquist said. The project â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which CSM calls Central Park Commons â&#x20AC;&#x201D; would do just that, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our hope is to bring retailers to the Eagan trade area that are new to the market and who offer something that the current retailers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding that CSM has been talking with several interested businesses. The developer purchased the property in April and closed on the sale in June, but Lockheed Martin will continue to occupy the space under a lease agreement until it officially closes its Eagan operation in the spring of 2013. The company announced last November it would close its Eagan facility by 2013, resulting in about 350 layoffs and 650 job transfers to other Lockheed Martin facilities. CSMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s redevelopment plans are still in their infancy. Its proposal is expected to go before the Planning Commission in September. If it passes there, the proposal will move on to the City Council on Oct. 4. If it approves the comprehensive plan amendment, the council would also need Metropolitan Council approval. The property is presently zoned as research and development, so that, too, would need to be changed before a development could move forward, Hedges said.
A Minneapolis-based developer is hoping to turn a huge chunk of the Lockheed Martin building in Eagan into retail space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Given its proximately to Town Centre and Promenade (two major retail centers), we believe it is a strong, viable trade area site that lends itself to retail uses,â&#x20AC;? said Tom Palmquist, vice president of commercial development for CSM Corp. The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comprehensive guide currently designates the property as major office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(But) filling a 623,000 square-foot office building that was built 40 years ago for a specific use could be very difficult,â&#x20AC;? said City Administrator Tom Hedges. Subdividing the site could also be challenging, he said. CSM Equities LLC, an affiliate of CSM Corp., is asking city officials to amend their comprehensive guide plan to redesignate 41.2 acres of the 51-acre site as retail commercial. The plans also call for several freestanding restaurants and would keep the remaining 6.2 acres as office space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are looking at a variety of alternatives and are trying to put together the best mix,â&#x20AC;? Palmquist said. The site is at a prime location â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the intersection of Pilot Knob and Yankee Doodle roads, Eaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s busiest intersection â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and is near its major retail centers, Promenade and Town Centre.

those traveling to area of the world where disease like measles are more common. However, a resurgence of measles is also occurring in the United Kingdom and Europe, Miller said, warning travelers to beware and address the topic with their doctors before going to those places. Normally the first dose of MMR (measles, mumps
â&#x20AC;&#x153;And as they were coming out of the institutions and coming into the community programs, you could just see this dramatic difference in peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives,â&#x20AC;? Wieck said. Things have been looking up for people with developmental disabilities for most of Wieckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heralded career. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of the reason. Wieck has worked the last 30 years as executive director of the Minnesota Governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Council on Developmental Disabilities. In June, she received a Policy Award at the Age and Disabilities Odyssey conference sponsored by the Minnesota Department of Human Services and the Minnesota Board on Aging. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s but one of 55 awards for a scholar, researcher, administrator and advocate who volunteered as a Title 1 teacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aide while attending high school in Barnum, Minn., in the late 1960s. Wieck has served as president of national organizations and written extensively. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a consultant, program evaluator and expert witness. She earned her doctorate in educational psychology at the University of Minnesota under university past President Robert Bruinicks, then a professor of special education.

Rev. Kristen Capel will become the first female lead pastor of Easter Lutheran Church in Eagan. She will be succeeding Rev. Jim Borgschatz, who formed the church 38 years ago. Capel comes from a line of female church leaders.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just about laws. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about helping people.â&#x20AC;? Overseeing Easterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evergrowing congregation presents its own obstacles. Easter Lutheran Church has a two-site ministry with 4,785 baptized members, which makes it among the 15 largest congregations in the ELCA. Although itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tall order, Capel said she is up for the task. Though the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership will change, its mission will remain largely same, Capel said. In fulfilling her predecessorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission, Capel said she hopes to â&#x20AC;&#x153;continue to push Easter out of the walls of the church and into the community.â&#x20AC;? She said she also hopes to help the congregation fulfill its dream of hosting a community meal. Capel will be installed as Easterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead pastor on

City Briefs Green Business Workshop offered
Volunteers needed for campaign
Buses to run shuttles to State Fair
Dakota Valley Recycling and the ARROW program will host the 2011 Green Business Workshop from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 13, at Eagan Community Center, 1501 Central Parkway. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workshop will feature a panel of businesses that have implemented energy- and waste-reducing initiatives. Attendees will find out about employee â&#x20AC;&#x153;Green Teamsâ&#x20AC;? and how having one can lead to office efficiency, cost savings and increased morale. Attendees also will get the up-to-date information on green initiatives, such as energy-saving equipment group-buys, environmen-
tally-preferable purchasing, and sustainability best practices. Attendees can connect with utility representatives and sustainability experts about free and low-cost programs, grants, loans and technical assistance. This workshop is free and open to business owners and employees in Eagan, Apple Valley and Burnsville. Pre-registration is required at www.surveymonkey.com/s/Z2PKVCT. If online registration is not an option, call (952) 895-4511 to register by phone. Call ARROW business coordinator Leigh Behrens at (952) 895-4515 with questions.
In June, the Burnsville City Council pledged its commitment to military service members and their families by passing a proclamation in support of the statewide Beyond the Yellow Ribbon campaign. Now, it is up to community members to help make the campaign a success in Burnsville. Volunteers are needed in seven areas including community leadership, public safety, faith-based organizations, veterans/civic organizations, youth/education, social services/medical providers and business/employment. This includes local educators, elected officials, employers, faith-based organizations, veterans, pub-
lic safety officials, medical personnel and other community volunteers. Individuals or groups interested in contributing to the Yellow Ribbon campaign should contact Deputy City Manager Tom Hansen at (952) 895-4466 or email tom.hansen@ ci.burnsville.mn.us with the area in which they would like to help. The campaignâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to create a comprehensive community network of agencies, organizations and services to provide local military families with assistance and support. For more information on the campaign, visit www. beyondtheyellowribbon.org or call (651) 282-4284.
The Minnesota Valley Transit Authority will offer rides to the Minnesota State Fair from Aug. 25 - Sept. 5. On weekdays, State Fair Express buses will operate to/from the Burnsville High School and Burnsville Transit Station and the fairgrounds. Buses will leave from Burnsville High School, 600 E. Highway 13, then travel to the Burnsville Transit Station (northeast corner of Highway 13 and Nicollet Avenue), then will go to the fairgrounds. Buses will depart hourly from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Buses will leave the fairgrounds to return to BTS and the high school hourly from noon to midnight. Weekends and Labor Day buses will operate to/from
the fair from the Burnsville and Eagan transit stations (not from Burnsville High School). Buses will leave the stations every 30 minutes from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Buses will leave the fairgrounds to return to BTS and ETS every 30 minutes from noon to midnight. Round-trip fare is $5 cash for those age 5 and older; fares are free for children 4 and under. The round-trip fare is collected in Burnsville or Eagan, and no fare is collected on the return trip. Exact fare is required in the form of dollar bills and/or coins. Call (952) 882-7500 for more information or visit www.mvta.com.

a little less experienced over there and we may be a bit undersized, but we should be able to make that up with some team speed.â&#x20AC;? Andrew Johnson, Nate McKenzie and Cody Peterson are expected to play increased roles. If practice
is any indication, Sherwin feels the defense has the talent, but needs experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to take a while as always,â&#x20AC;? Sherwin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we can be pretty good. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a matter of everyone figuring out their roles.â&#x20AC;?
The Lightning hope to avoid a repeat of last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two straight losses to open the season when the team also had several new starters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a lot more together this year,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our first week last year we
were struggling big time. This year we all know each other well. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big plus. I have a good feeling about this team.â&#x20AC;? Eastview will make the trip to Lakeville North on Thursday in the season opener before coming
home on Sept. 9 for a game against Lakeville South and then Eagan on Sept. 16.
Fritze said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very skilled three-year player. They were both a big part of our success rushing last year.â&#x20AC;? The speedy Dom McDew-Stauffer returns as the featured running back after sharing carries last season. The defense has a few more openings with four
starters returning. Patrick Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neil, Daniel Woiwor and Harry Sonie provide one of the more experienced secondaries in the south metro. James Horton and Seth Morris return at linebacker. The biggest question mark is the defensive line, where the Eagles spent much of the preseason try-
ing to find all new starters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids have been playing well,â&#x20AC;? Fritze said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to determine too many things until you play somebody else. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very inexperienced. That position really has to step up for us to do well.â&#x20AC;? With three linemen in their 3-4 defense, the line has been tested by going up
against Martens and Broberg every day in practice. The Eagles will open the season with a nonconference game at Hopkins on Thursday. The teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home opener is scheduled Sept. 9 when Lakeville North pays a visit. The game will recognize the 25th anniversary of Apple Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state cham-
pionship in 1986. Individuals from that team will be honored prior to the game. To register or get more information visit avfootball. com
starter. It may take a few games to settle in, but Sherwin has been down this road before. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can move and we have guys who want to play,â&#x20AC;? Sherwin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re
Eagles/from 7A of where we were last year as far as our passing team,â&#x20AC;? Fritze said. To keep the defense away, offensive linemen Zach Martens and Blake Broberg have put the pads back on for another season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Martens is being looked at by Division I schools,â&#x20AC;?

Burnsville Burnsville auto shop targeted to high-end performance market David Trumble developed his taste for European high-performance autos when he bought his first Volkswagen Golf at age 15. Now 23, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owned five Volkswagen/Audi cars and worked on dozens more vehicles, European and domestic. The self-taught mechanic and auto-performance specialist will put his skills and passion to the test with Nur Technik, a service and performance business that opens to the public on Sept. 10 in Burnsville. Davidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s partner is his 30-year-old brother, Mike, a fellow European auto buff who has worked on dozens of cars himself as the duo established their business mostly by word-of-mouth. On Sept. 10 theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll throw open the doors of Nur Technik, located at 11920 12th Ave. S. in north Burnsville. Nur Technik specializes in repair and modification of European vehicles as well as high-performance American cars such as the Dodge Viper and Chevrolet Corvette. Servicing of other
such brands as VW/Audi (Volkswagen owns the Audi brand), BMW and Porsche, said David, who likes to push his own Volkswagen R32 and its 350-horsepower engine during open-track weekends at Brainerd International Raceway. His brother owns a 2008 R32, which heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to test at BIR. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet,â&#x20AC;? Mike said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to bringing mine in. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supposed to go a top speed of 170.â&#x20AC;? Though only 23, David Trumble has been dreaming of entering the high-end auto business for years. A sixth-year engineering student with a concentration in mechanical design, he rented a single-car garage at the University of Wisconsin-Stout to work on his own vehicles. Last year, he began offering his automotive services to friends and family. Joining forces with Mike, the pair began offering automotive services out of Mikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s garage in Lakeville. In April the Trumbles began renting the 3,000-square-foot space in Burnsville, which has un-

dergone extensive renovation. David said Nur Technik offers an alternative to more expensive dealer repair shops. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people kind of are scared of European cars and how expensive they are to fix,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pretty honest with our pricing.â&#x20AC;? Occupying one of Nur Technikâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two automotive bays in recent weeks was Davidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yellow 1998 Volkswagen GTI with a VR-6 engine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of always been under the knife,â&#x20AC;? he said of the prized possession. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never going to be finished, a constant project. My goal is the fastest and most reliable GTI around.â&#x20AC;? A Sept. 10 grand opening will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information, visit www.nurtechnik. com or call (952) 322-7495.

domestic cars is also available. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maintenance and repair is definitely the bread and butter,â&#x20AC;? David said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of like what we do between performance jobs.â&#x20AC;? For the uninitiated, he explained that â&#x20AC;&#x153;performanceâ&#x20AC;? means all facets of making a car run better and faster, from suspension and exhaust systems to engines and brakes. The German translation of Nur Technik is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Only Engineering,â&#x20AC;? but in naming their business the Eurobuff brothers were also inspired by the Nurburgring Raceway in Germany, a testing and proving grounds for manufacturers of performance cars. David said thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lots of market potential for Nur Technik in an underserved south metro area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our demographic would probably be early 20s to mid-40s,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of them are kind of people who have been through the phase of their Hondas and going quick and driving stupid, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve matured into the high-end performance spectrum.â&#x20AC;?

Apple Valley native Justin Armstrong teaches soldiers how to stay alive if combat takes them into the water. The Marine Corps corporal based at Cherry Point, N.C., teaches water survival in an Olympicsized pool to active-duty soldiers ranging in rank from private to sergeant major. Students in Armstrongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s course start by learning basics such as swimming and treading water in their combat gear, eventually working their way to the courseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest
Ronan/from 1A patch, which will always be monitored. Nicole said their emotions during the days in the hospital went from shock at first, then fear mixed with confusion, helplessness and jealousy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our reality was shattered and we were helpless to help our son,â&#x20AC;? Nicole said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our concept of being parents was different. We could not hold Ronan, or touch most of him and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know when or if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be coming home.â&#x20AC;? Despite the roller coaster of emotion, Nicole said nurses, family and friends helped them endure â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;and God, we prayed every moment we were not speaking.â&#x20AC;? Members of their church â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Lighthouse Christian in Rosemount â&#x20AC;&#x201C; made the famChamber/from 1A group ... similar to Business Networking International groups.â&#x20AC;? The Bloomington-based chapter of MainstreetChamber targets small businesses located south of I-494, which includes Dakota County, said Lisa Saline, president of the South Metro Chapter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But (businesses) donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be in a specific region to join,â&#x20AC;? Saline said. The chapter has acquired 225 members since its grand opening in July. Saline describes the group as an alternative for small businesses who cannot afford or do not want to pay membership dues and other fees associated with a traditional chamber. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It helps small businesses who need to get their foot in the door,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goal is to help them connect with other small business owners and help them grow.â&#x20AC;? The chapter is part of MainstreetChamber Minnesota which was established last year and has 3,000 members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe the economy runs on small businesses and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we are dedicated to helping them grow,â&#x20AC;? said state director Mike Clough. The national MainstreetChamber brand was found-
challenge: jumping from a 10-foot tower into the water. Armstrong, who attended Eastview High School before graduating as a home-schooled student in 2006, said his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s background in the Armed Forces â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one of his grandfathers was in the Army, the other in the Navy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; motivated him to enlist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just had to do something with my life,â&#x20AC;? said Armstrong, who was working at a Burnsville bank when he signed up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like the tradition, I like the history, I like the image of the Marine Corps.â&#x20AC;?
The course Armstrong teaches is a breeze compared to the one he took to become an instructor. Requirements of that three-week course included distance swims, underwater swimming and breath-hold tests, as well as training modules in the unpredictable surf of the ocean. The course also saw Armstrong earning Red Cross lifeguard certification. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now looking to the next challenge in his military career. After re-enlisting last week, Armstrong is seeking to join the Marinesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; elite Special Forces. It will be a true test of
his mettle. Marines accepted into the Special Forces training to which Armstrong has applied endure 10- to 14-hour days doing advanced navigation exercises wearing heavy packs on their backs. Armstrong described the training as â&#x20AC;&#x153;very physical.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not getting sleep, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not getting three hot meals a day. â&#x20AC;Ś They try to see how you react under stress,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It should be a good time.â&#x20AC;?
ily meals, bought them groceries, provided gift cards and one member made one of the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monthly mortgage payments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ronanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birth shook our world,â&#x20AC;? Nicole said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It brought us to our knees. The community surround us and lifted us up. The support of this community has changed our world, how we look at things and what is important to us.â&#x20AC;? Denise, Erikâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mom, left her job and home in Baltimore to be with them and helped them in every way possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are overwhelmed,â&#x20AC;? Nicole said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are so many gifted and generous people in our community. The love that has been shared with us from friends and strangers alike has changed our family. The communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support has saved us, really
as dramatic as that sounds, it did.â&#x20AC;? While the surgery was a success, doctors are still closely monitoring Ronanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kidney, which is about half the size that it should be, and his gross and fine motor development. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel positive about where Ronan is medically,â&#x20AC;? Nicole said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have seen new life in Ronan; just looking where he has come from to where he is now he is just amazing.â&#x20AC;? Ronan is seen by a pediatrician monthly and has regular appointments with a cardiologist, surgeon and urologist. He has a kidney ultrasound every three months and works with a physical therapist every other week. Nicole said Ronanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weight is a huge concern. He is able to eat about 5 ounces of food at a time, which
she says is enough to keep him going but not promote weight gain. He has not been able to sit up on his own or crawl yet, but the family is hopeful that in working with a physical therapist he will reach these milestones. Despite his challenges, Ronan is making slow steps of progress. His speech consists of coos, squeaks and giggles. He can roll over and tolerates some â&#x20AC;&#x153;tummy time.â&#x20AC;? Nicole said he plays a game called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ro Beeâ&#x20AC;? where they hold him as he buzzes around the room and â&#x20AC;&#x153;stingsâ&#x20AC;? something or someone with his butt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He giggles so much,â&#x20AC;? Nicole said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really really cute.â&#x20AC;?
ed 11 years ago under the name National Chamber of Commerce. The group rebranded itself in 2008 and currently has 13,000 members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had resistance with the previous name because some thought we looked like a government agency,â&#x20AC;? said CEO John Bellave. Members can attend events and advertise on the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website for free. Unlike traditional chamber, MainstreetChamber sustains itself solely through sponsorships and paid advertising at its networking events. Although MainstreetChamber gives businesses another option, Saline said, she does not think the group is in competition with traditional chambers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would like to align ourselves with other chambers,â&#x20AC;? she said. Leaders of traditional chambers agreed that MainstreetChamber is not a competitor, but are unsure whether a partnership would be beneficial. Kearney said he believes MainstreetChamber neglects pressing issues such as public policy, economic development and job growth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The real reason we exist is to keep a lid on federal, state, county and city taxation and regulation,â&#x20AC;?

MainstreetChamber is a free networking service that is aimed at small to mid-sized businesses. Lisa Saline is present of the South Metro Chapter which opened in July. Kearney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have totally different purposes. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ironic we have the same â&#x20AC;&#x201D; chamber.â&#x20AC;? Daron Van Helden, president of the Burnsville Chamber of Commerce, agreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Within that there is a spirit of cooperation and community building and economic development,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about representing business interest.â&#x20AC;? Ruthe Batulis, presi-
dent of the Dakota County Chamber of Commerce, said she views MainstreetChamber as more of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;business opportunityâ&#x20AC;? than a chamber of commerce. Each chapter of MainstreetChamber is owned and operated by a chapter president who pays between
a chamber of commerce has presented an obstacle for the new chapter, Saline said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see a value in our service,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some find more value when they pay for something.â&#x20AC;? Name recognition is another struggle since the group does not operate in a storefront. Instead, each chapter operates from a home-based office. Though it presents some challenges, this strategy also enables the business to keep overhead costs low and events at local businesses, Saline said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By having events in the community, we bring a number of people into a business rather than an office,â&#x20AC;? she said. Batulis agreed that getting industry leaders together â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by any means is beneficial to the business community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want businesses to succeed, and whether they find that in a chamber membership or ... a free networking service, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for them to find what works for them.â&#x20AC;?
$2,000 and $15,000 in startup fees for materials, VIP cards and a website, Saline said. The groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s VIP cards â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which cost approximately $40 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; give businesses access to discounts and other exclusive benefits.
