Restaurant builds kitchen on wheels Vivo Mobile Kitchen expands catering possibilities by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A catering service that sends chefs to cook fresh, locally-sourced dishes at any venue or location — that was the vision that led David Peterson and Daniel Wesener to creating the Vivo Mobile Kitchen. Vivo opened in Apple Valley in 2014, and the restaurant quickly earned the reputation of being one

of the best restaurants in the city. Guests can walk in, make a reservation or book Vivo’s private gathering room, which seats 80 or accommodates 120 standing guests. The restaurant also has another private room that can seat between 40 and 45 guests. But, the space wasn’t enough. “We were fielding calls from people who wanted to throw parties that were

bigger. We thought: ‘Well, we are either going to have to rent another space, or close down the restaurant for the day to fit the groups or build something that can get to you,’ � Director of Culinary Development Daniel Wesener said. “We decided that was the path we were going to take — create a mobile catering vehicle that can handle parties of up to 205 people. Now we don’t have

to worry about the size of the restaurant people because we can bring the restaurant to you.� Wesener said they got the idea for a food-truck based catering service in August 2016, when Vivo chefs found themselves caught in a rainstorm while catering an outdoor event. “We were literally standing there holding our tent down. It rained

East Lake ready for first day of school New building provides opportunities for collaboration by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Some students who attended Diamond Path, Highland, Parkview, Rosemount and Shannon Park elementary schools this spring will come together this fall to form a new community. East Lake Elementary, the RosemountApple Valley-Eagan School District’s newest elementary school, will begin classes on Sept. 5. At press time, 535 students were enrolled. There are five sections of kindergarten, four sections of first, second, and third grade, three sections of fourth grade, and two sections of fifth grade. Principal Miles Haugen said East Lake Elementary will use 21st century learning strategies. Teachers will be able to take full advantage of resources such as smart boards and computer labs. The school is participating in a 1:1 technology beta program initiated by District 196. The students in one fifthgrade classroom will re-

ceive iPads that they can use in class and take home with them in the evenings. The school will also have a full classroom set of Chromebooks, which Haugen said will be used by the other fifth-grade class as part of the school’s dedication to making the year special for their oldest students. Haugen said he wants to make sure that the school goes out of its way to make the year unique for the fifth-graders who will only be spending one year in the building. “The kids coming into fifth grade here are choosing to leave a school that they’ve maybe been at for five years, so we want to make sure it is a special year for them,� he said. Haugen said that the school will also focus on community and collaboration as essential learning strategies. The classrooms for each grade level are clustered together around a common room – a configuration Haugen calls a “neighborhood.� Students will have ample space to

work on group projects inside of their own classroom or in shared spaces. “It’s all about helping kids to learn to work collaboratively, to work together. They’ll be able to do that in the neighborhoods,� he said. “This building was designed, I believe, with the understanding that the collaborative is really what it is all about.� The first unit that all students will study is about community, Haugen said. Students will talk about what it means to be a community of learners, and students will be able to collaborate with each other throughout the work. “You’ll see a lot of discussion in the first few weeks about how we can come together as a community,� he said. “It’s really no different than any other building. The first week is all about setting the expectations for the school to run efficiently. We are coming alongside each other and we are goSee EAST LAKE, 8A

Construction on East Lake Elementary wraps up as the first day of school approaches on Sept. 5. The building is designed to promote learning through collaboration, and features several shared spaces for students to work in community with one another.

New District 196 brand symbolizes infinite possibilities for students The Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District 196 launched a new website, newsletter design and logo this month as part of a new brand identity the district is rolling out for the start of the 2017-18 school year. Communications Director Tony Taschner said the goals of the rebranding effort are to further unite the district’s 33 outstanding school communities and strengthen its already excellent reputation for providing high-quality educational opportunities for students. He said the new brand will also establish greater consistency in look and language across the district and differentiate District 196 from its competitors. The new logo and tagline – “One District. Infinite Possibilities� – were developed by Peter Hill Design Inc. of Minneapolis. The logo and tagline were selected based on research and input from a variety of district stakeholders, including staff, students and parents who were surveyed last school year. The new logo features

three interconnected infinity symbols – one red, one blue and one yellow – that are circled by the words “Academics • Arts • Athleticsâ€? to symbolize District 196’s longstanding commitment to the triple-A philosophy of providing students a wide variety of opportunities in all three areas. The infinity symbols also represent the three largest communities served by District 196 – Rosemount, Apple Valley and Eagan – as well as the elementary, middle school and high school levels of education. “At District 196, the sky’s the limit,â€? Superintendent Jane K. Berenz said. “That’s because our committed team of educators is dedicated to helping learners explore the outer limits of their vast potential. We are nationally recognized for providing boundless opportunities in which students can learn and grow. Whether they have an affinity for academics, arts and/or athletics, our goal is to expose students to the infinite possibilities within the district and throughout our com-

Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District 196 released a new logo this week. It highlights the infinite possibilities provided at District 196 schools through academics, arts and athletics. This is the latest of the district’s rebranding initiatives for the start of the new school year. Earlier this month, District 196 launched a new website and sent out a revamped newsletter. munities. Together, we encourage them each day to pursue excellence as they experience their exciting journey along the road of life.� The district’s quarterly Spotlight newsletter and website were also redesigned to reflect the new brand image. Enhanced user features at

District196.org include a mobile-responsive layout and quick access to the information parents use the most. School websites are also being redesigned to include consistent navigation that will make it easier for parents to find information as their children move from one school to the next.

Eastview students attend business program Imagine yourself making a presentation to a panel of investors, asking for a loan for an innovative new business idea that you came up with in four days with a team of people you had never met before. Sound challenging? That’s exactly what more than 300 students were tasked with this summer during their week at BestPrep’s Minnesota Business Venture. Eastview High School students Harita Duggirala, Akarshna Iyer, Bemnet Kika and Sanjana Reddy attended MBV this summer to develop their business and career skills. Students split into small groups called a “company� and were mentored throughout the week by local business professionals from companies such as Allianz Life, Ecolab, Securian Financial and Travelers. Student “companies� spent the week developing a business plan proposal and summarizing the marketing, finance and operations practices for their fictitious product or service. While the business plans and monetary investment were imaginary, the ideas presented would give today’s entrepreneurs a run for their money. A few product ideas included contact lenses for individuals with color

Kids ’n Kinship hosts sixth annual gala Mentorship organization celebrates 45 years by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Kids ’n Kinship, a nonprofit organization that matches individuals, couples and family volunteer mentors with youths in need, will host its sixth annual gala on Sunday, Sept. 17. The gala will celebrate the organization’s 45 years of service to more than 3,300 youths in Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Farmington, Lakeville and Rosemount. Former mentee Rick Bjorklund got involved in the program when he was 12. Today, he is a successful Realtor. He says the mentorship he received through Kids ’n Kinship changed his life. “The Kids ’n Kinship program was extremely beneficial for me as a mentee as it provided a positive male figure in my life when I was lacking one. It allowed for me to see life outside of what my situation was at the time,� Bjorklund said. “The program allowed me to see what a positive role model looks like.� Kids ’n Kinship Executive Director Jan Belmore said Bjorklund’s story represents many of the mentor-mentee relationships at the organization. “Mentoring relationships provide the sustenance needed for youth to learn skills and develop character,� Belmore said. “The Gala presents an opportunity to hear from youth who have been positively affected by mentoring. It truly is an engaging and heart-warming experience for a very worthwhile cause.� Carol and Dick Frick founded Kids ’n Kinship in 1972. The organization began as an outreach program through the Community Action Council of Northwest Dakota County. In August 1982, they officially became a not-for-profit organization. Volunteers ran the organization until 1992 when Belmore was hired as executive director. Belmore found funding and brought in more staff and volunteers to meet the ever-present need for mentorship in Dakota County. Kids ’n Kinship pairs each volunteer mentor with a child between 5 and 16 years old. Mentors spend between one and four hours

a week with their mentees. They participate in activities such as playing sports, hiking, geocaching, cooking and baking. They also go to sporting events, movies, museums and community fairs. Some mentors and mentees volunteer together at another organization. Every three months, all mentors and mentees are invited to participate in a large-group event such as a camp-out, a pool party, bowling, or a game night. Belmore said Kids ’n Kinship works hard to support mentors. Staff members are assigned matches to supervise and communicate with them frequently. Staff members call the mentors to encourage them and discuss examples of activities that might be a good fit for the mentor and mentee. Bjorklund remembers the effort his mentor put into their time together. “I don’t believe I would be where I am today if it wasn’t for my mentor, Jerry. He was always kind, supportive and had new experiences planned,� Bjorklund said. Currently, 60 children are matched with a mentor, and 35 children are on Kids ’n Kinship’s waiting list. Belmore says the meticulous matching procedures have contributed to the success of the program. “It is important to really find out what the mentor is looking to be involved in so we can match them with a kid with similar interests,� Belmore said. “We don’t just take the next kid on the waiting list. We look at what kind of childhood the mentor had growing up. What kind of energy or interests do they have? Are they introverted or extroverted? Are they into sports or are they a computer geek?� She said matches usually last much longer than the average for programs such as this. Kids ’n Kinship matches usually last just under three years, whereas most mentorship programs see mentor-mentee relationships fade out after about nine months. Bjorklund says he is still in contact with his mentor today. “We still meet a few times a year, and he recently taught and helped me to

Night to Unite neighborhood parties show gratitude, support by William H. Tschohl SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Apple Valley is fortunate to have Mayor Mary Hamann-Roland, Chief of Police Jon Rechtzigel, police officers and firefighters understanding the importance of participating in the annual Night to Unite. On Tuesday, Aug. 1, more than 100 Night to Unite parties were held. Hamann-Roland, Rechtzigel, Community Development Director Bruce Nordquist and County Attorney James Backstrom participated in seven different neighborhood parties. Seven other groups of officers including members of the fire department visited most of the 100-plus Night to Unite parties that were held. These visits offered a good opportunity for city leadership and members of the police force the opportunity to reinforce relationships and maintain open communication with Apple Valley residents. At the most recent Night to Unite party at the home of Gerry and Mary Rue in Palomino Woods, they were joined by more than 20 neighbors who wanted to demonstrate respect and honor for our police force. They wanted to join hands with our police to help prevent any violence or crime in their neighborhood. Mary Rue, the hostess, understands the importance of supporting our police force and regularly sends out police alerts to her neighbors. She has been hosting the annual Night to Unite party

Guest Columnist

Bill Tschohl for many years and everyone enjoys the food and the opportunity to strengthen ties with neighbors, city staff and the police department. The Night to Unite generally starts around 5:30 p.m. and the neighbors often remain until it starts to get dark. Over the past few years they have been honored with visits from Hamann-Roland and Rechtzigel, including this year along with Nordquist and Backstrom. They were there to visit with the residents and answer any questions they might have about the police, city development, crime prosecution or city leadership. Some of the neighbors had questions for the mayor about the Legends building being built at the corner of Cedar and 140th Street. Hamann-Roland explained that the city did not want our seniors leaving Apple Valley for lack of housing to meet their needs. As they grow older they will have the option of renting in the building for those over 55 years of age. Quite a number of the residents did not have any particular question for Hamann-Roland but they gave her a round of applause for her dedication

to our city. Backstrom was also praised for his great work as county attorney. Rechtzigel stated the city and his department have a very strong relationship with Backstrom’s office. Nordquist answered a variety of questions about all the development in the city. With little crime in Palomino Woods, residents feel relatively safe and repeatedly expressed their thanks to the mayor for being so supportive of our police force and the interaction with the community. It was a surprise to all when the mayor and her group showed up with a cameraman. I was asked to make a few comments for the cameraman and those present. As a big supporter of the Apple Valley Police Department, I had earlier passed out “Thank a Cop” bumper stickers to neighbors. I reaffirmed my neighbors’ thoughts that we in Apple Valley have just about the finest police department in the nation. I related we have a very caring and well trained police department. Apple Valley is led by such a great Mayor Mary who appears everywhere for events, cares so much about Apple Valley and is a truly big supporter of our police and fire departments. We are so fortunate to have officers willing to dedicate their lives to protecting our community and helping to make Apple Valley such a wonderful place in which to live and work. In talking with the mayor and Rechtzigel about their successes, they stressed that it is very important to have a good relationship with the community and

partnership with Apple Valley citizens. It enables the officers to be more effective in their job. The entire police department is very involved in the community, giving much of their personal time with involvement with activities like the Apple Valley Rotary, Apple Valley Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Network, The Neighborhood Watch Group, Watchdog Walkers, School Resource Officer, maintaining a strong school presence, Citizens Academy, Teen Academy and Teachers Academy. It is nice that so many Apple Valley residents continue to stop by the local police department to offer their thanks and show their appreciation and support. When “thank you” cards are received, they are shared with all members of the force including 52 sworn officers for a total of 66 including support personnel. The cards and treats offered are great morale builders. Everyone deserves kindness, but especially our Apple Valley Police Department and Fire Department. We cannot thank them enough for helping make Apple Valley the 17th Best City in which to live by Money Magazine. They do so much each day to make Apple Valley such a desirable city in which to live. The next time you see an officer of the law, say “thank you,” smile or wave. They will enjoy your support and encouragement. Enjoy a safe 2017. Bill Tschohl is an Apple Valley resident.

Creating strong relationship with teachers by Don Heinzman SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Nothing is more important to parents than to have a good relationship with the teachers of their children at the start of another school year. Teachers also realize that involving parents in teaching children has a big payoff. They are encouraged to meet parents early and to contact one another the minute they see the need. In fact, most elementary schools have systems where teachers can inform parents daily, when something has come up, rather than waiting until the parentteacher conference when it may be too little, too late. Teachers understand research done by the National School Public Relations Association shows parents want to know what their child is learning and how well they are learning it. School principals insist on “parent

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Don Heinzman nights,” and are sending home newsletters, because research shows communications from the school itself is parents’ most trusted source. Principals also encourage parents to volunteer at the schools and even have special acknowledgements for those volunteers. Given the research, teachers want to involve parents at home by listening to their child read and doing lessons. That’s why more teachers are sending home lessons that involve the parent and the child. The Minnesota Reading Corps, employed by many metropolitan school

districts, has a Reading At Home program that provides parents with reading materials that can help their child become a better reader. Parent involvement is a lesson also being preached to parents through the state and national Parent Teachers Association. According to studies referenced by the PTA and parent teacher organizations, early parent involvement has these results for students: better grades, higher test scores, better school attendance, better social skills, improved behavior, more positive attitude, homework completions and a higher likelihood they will graduate from high school and attend college. Teacher organizations also stress early parent involvement. The National Education Association cites a report from the Southwest Educational Development Laboratory: “When schools, families and community groups work together, to support learning, children

tend to do better in school, stay in school longer and like school more.” One critical part of good communication with teachers is the parent and teacher conference. That’s when parents can ask specific questions about their children. The conference can be successful when teachers and parents are especially prepared to ask questions and get answers. Writing in “Very Well,” a national publication, author Amanda Morin says the best tip for school success is to make sure parents and teachers are working as allies. As school starts, establish an early partnership with your child’s teacher. You, the teacher, and particularly the child, will benefit. Don Heinzman is a columnist for ECM Publishers Inc.

Letters Our challenge To the editor: As I look at cars around our neighborhood I see a much better place compared to when I was a young person in the 1960s. There are more cars, but they are running much cleaner and quieter. I remember back in 1975 when catalytic converters were just beginning to make an appearance. Most folks were reluctant to accept them. They were expensive and had scary emission-related components. I look back now and see that emission requirements have resulted in much cleaner running vehicles. Although vehicles continue to improve, they continue to use petroleum for fuel. This scares me. I am pretty sure petroleum won’t last forever. As petroleum becomes harder to find and harder to get out of the ground, it will become more expensive. Acquiring petroleum has become an environmental disaster. We need to stop

doing this to our world. I wonder what fuel will be next for transportation. I strongly suspect we will have a lot more allelectric vehicles in the near future. This is a paradigm shift for all of us, and our mechanics. We are only starting to get accustomed to gas/electric hybrid vehicles, and allelectric vehicles are beginning to line up behind them in the marketplace. As batteries are significantly improved, electric cars will become more usable and more affordable. However, this change is huge, and will be difficult for most of us. We have gotten very comfortable with gasoline powered cars. Buying my first electric car will be pretty scary, but I will do it. I will do it because I believe that it is the better choice for our environment, and for our world. There are many things all of us can do to take better care of our world. Many of them are as easy as changing the type of light bulbs we use to LED

bulbs and/or opting for renewable electric energy. Some of them are as scary as changing the type of car we drive to electric. We are all challenged to do a better job of taking care of our world, God’s creation. Let’s do it. TIMOTHY MORSE Rosemount

for those who need it the most – people living with hunger and poverty. We pointed out that domestic programs like SNAP (formerly known as food stamps), WIC, and tax credits for low-income working families provide our neighbors here in the United States with a critical safety net. In addition, international programs like food aid, development assistance, and maternal and child nutrition, improve the lives of millions of our neighbors around the world, on less than 1 percent of our federal budget. All of these programs face potentially deep funding cuts that would impact millions of men, women, and children. I firmly believe that our federal budget is more than just a financial document; it reveals our values and priorities as a nation. Congress will make a final decision about the fiscal year 2018 budget when lawmakers return to Washington, D.C., in September.

Thanks to mayor for action on mall To the editor: I read in the Aug. 25 Sun Thisweek newspaper that a consultant regarding our Burnsville Center

will be having a discussion on Sept. 11 with a selected group of interested people in trying to begin a good survival exploration for our mall. That is fantastic! The mayor’s ability to get funding for this effort was also fantastic. We are fortunate to have such a person as Mayor Elizabeth Kautz leading our community because of her sincere heart for the entire south metro area’s success. She is not a smoke and mirrors person but one who says, “Let’s get it done,” beginning with herself. With that said, it is imperative for the community to help our mall survive. Can you imagine the south metro area without the mall? I can, but I don’t like the look. However, I do like the look of a vibrant mall and the benefits it offers to its residents, other businesses and to the tax base it contributes to, as well as the future benefits it can provide for new developments. We all win. The possible help that the community can offer is defining what our community is missing that makes us drive outside our areas. We can offer suggestions to the committee and consultant. As this process materializes, our suggestions will be of benefit for a positive outcome. Without suggestions from south metro-area residents, it could fail because, the “New Mall” that is envisioned may miss the bull’s-eye of our needs. Can we, as residents, rise to a great cause and help make a difference? You bet. Our mayor has quoted a saying spoken in the past and exemplified by

the starfish pin she wears on her lapel, which signifies that each of us can make a difference in the outlook of an impossible endeavor. DICK SJOQUIST Burnsville The writer is owner of Burnsville Toyota.

Hoping for a Burnsville Center plan To the editor: I want to commend Burnsville Mayor Elizabeth Kautz for her proactive leadership in applying to the Bloomberg Philanthropies for a Mayors Challenge grant that provides funds to communities to study and resolve major problems — in our case, the Burnsville Center. Anyone who lives near, works at or shops the mall recognizes that there are ongoing problems with the number of store closings. Some of this is the way retail is changing, and perhaps the mall ownership is working “behind the scenes.” However, now we will have the mayor using her resources and connections in an effort to get major financial support to develop a plan. We hope for its success. MIKE SWANTON Lakeville

SUN THISWEEK - Apple Valley Sept. 1, 2017 7A

HERING, from 1A pare them for the coming weekend’s tournament. He’s been doing this for more than 20 years. This year, Hering’s dedication will be recognized through his induction into the Minnesota State High School League’s Hall of Fame in the Class of 2017. Every year, the MSHSL honors Minnesota’s best and brightest teachers and coaches, and Hering’s distinguished coaching record has earned him a place in the Hall of Fame. Throughout his career at Eastview, Hering has coached 10 debate state champions, one national debate runner-up, six speech state champions and five national speech champions. He has received several awards, including the Minnesota Debate Teachers Association Jim Graupner Distinguished Service Award in 2001. Hering was also selected as the Minnesota Debate Teachers Association Coach of the Year, two times. He is one of only two coaches to ever be twice awarded this honor. Hering got his start at Stillwater High School, where he participated in both speech and debate as a student from 1989-91. He earned a state championship title his senior year in Policy Debate. Following his high school graduation, Hering began working as an assistant coach for Stillwater’s debate team. He was hired as Stillwater’s head debate coach in 1994, while he was a senior in college, and he stayed until he earned his post-grad teaching license in 1997. That same year, Hering took a job as a history and social studies teacher at Eastview,

where he was also offered debate and speech coaching positions. The Eastview debate team is one of the nation’s largest; around 100 members actively participate each season. With nine state championships and 55 national qualifiers, they have a strong record of success. Hering said that the most important attribute of a good coach is being someone who can create opportunities. “One of the things I’m really proud of is how many people are able to debate here,� he said. “We work really hard to create as many opportunities as possible to come in and try debate. We don’t just pick our top eight and focus on them; we try to have a quality experience for a lot of different people.� He also said it is important for coaches to understand their team members and figure out what motivates them. Hering said that years of experience have helped him to better relate to a wider range of students. Through working with these students, he has learned that experience is more important than wins and losses. “I try to remember that it is fun to win a trophy, but that is really not what the activity is about,� he said. “I think I’ve gotten better at that as I’ve gotten older – just focusing on the real value of it.� Hering believes debate is an important activity for students because it teaches students how to be thoughtful, participatory consumers and contributors of information. “Debate is one of the few activities that really trains a person how to think critically, how to research critically, and how to listen critically,�

he said. “We are in the information age. We are bombarded with information. And so much of it is partisan, shoddy – all the junk that goes around online that is half-truth or none-truth. Debate teaches you how to think about those things, and I think that is really powerful.� Hering’s peers appreciate his dedication to both the debate and speech teams, and they lauded his coaching philosophies. “He is one who encourages the kids to do their best,� said Ryan Roseen, head coach of the Eastview speech team. “He gives all speech team students he works with the encouragement that they can do well.� Assistant debate coach Zachary Prax agrees that Hering’s mentorship is one of Eastview’s keys to success. “He cares about each as a person far more than as a competitor, and though he has guided students to a number of state and national championships, he cares far more about developing skills and helping cultivate a healthy learning atmosphere than any competitive result or record,� Prax said. It’s not only Hering’s peers who see the value of his work. Alumni of Eastview’s debate and speech programs say they have been impacted by Hering’s work long after their time on the team came to an end. Hering coached James Hohmann from 2001 to 2005 for debate, extemporaneous speaking and Student Congress. Now, he is a political correspondent for the Washington Post, and he said the lessons he learned from Hering shaped him into the person he is today. “I learned as much during each practice with

Eastview High School debate and speech coach Todd Hering works with students to teach them about argumentation and communication. Approximately 100 students participate in Eastview debate, and Hering works with each one to help them become better critical thinkers and prepare them for their Saturday competitions. Hering as in any academic class, except maybe Advanced Placement U.S. History. And that’s only because he was the teacher. Practices with Hering were like graduate school seminars,� Hohmann said. “You had to come prepared, and it was like drinking from a firehose.� Hohmann said Hering has high expectations for his students, and he challenges them to become their best. “Hering challenged me like almost no one else has. He challenged everything I thought I knew and every assumption I made. That forced me to think critically and made me a better debater. I learned how to conceptualize arguments and analyze complex issues,� Hohmann said. “I learned how to think through all sides of every question, how to distill lots of complex information and then explain it in terms that

lay people could understand. Buzzwords and catchphrases were never enough for Hering. You had to have substance and bring your A game. Always.� Other students have been affected similarly. Josh Stager was a member of Eastview’s debate and speech teams from 1998 to 2002. He currently works on Capitol Hill, and he says the lessons he learned through Hering’s coaching 15 years ago continue to impact his career today. “He is extraordinarily dedicated to his students and his team.� Stager said. “The program he created at Eastview was easily one of the most formative and enduring parts of my education. I work on federal policy in Washington now, and I draw on my speech and debate experiences daily. I wish more people in D.C. had the benefit of Todd’s

coaching.� Hering said he is looking forward to the coming debate and speech seasons. He said the debate team, which will begin practicing in September and competing in October has a lot of young talent and he is excited about their potential. The MSHSL Hall of Fame induction ceremony will take place at the InterContinental St. Paul Riverfront Hotel on Sunday, Oct. 22, at 1 p.m. The event is open to the public, and tickets can be reserved at www.mshsl. org. This will be the 22nd group to be inducted into the League’s Hall of Fame since its start in 1991. The league will induct 12 members this year, making 220 members total.

Vocational rehabilitation program wins state award Way to Work, a Minnesota Vocational Rehabilitation Services program in partnership with Eagan-based ProAct Inc., county and state level human service agencies, was named a 2017 Minnesota State Government Innovation Award winner. The effort helped place people with disabilities in competitive jobs. “Our employment spe-

cialists were dedicated and passionate about this pilot project,� said ProAct employment manager Heather Deutschlaender. “We are excited as we continue to place more people in jobs and help them reach their goals.� Way to Work assisted 94 individuals at ProAct, placing 32 in competitive jobs. Thirty-two others are actively engaged

in community-based job searches and 21 are developing their career plans. “They are earning an income and paying taxes, and are consequently less dependent on federal and state benefits than before,� according to the state award announcement. Wages for these individuals now range from $9.50 to $11 per hour. “The best part about

this project is that it is a win-win for employers and our individuals,� said Deutschlaender. Way to Work accepted applicants at ProAct through June 2017, but

the best practices learned through the program are expected to continue here, and through the statewide service delivery system administered by the Minnesota Depart-

ment of Employment and Economic Development and its Department of Vocational Rehabilitation Services. A video about the project is viewable at vimeo.com/227624636.

ing to help each other learn.� The spirit of community has been a theme of the summer, as teachers, parents, secretaries, clerks, custodians and construction workers have worked together to build and shape the school. Over the summer, Haugen put together a Building Leadership Team. They met three times to define the theme, goal and vision for East Lake Elementary. “We talked about having a common purpose and a common understanding as we walk through the halls, as we go into the lunchroom, as we have recess, as we greet fellow students in the hallway – and it comes down to respect,� he said. Haugen said he is excited about creating a unique culture of community at East Lake. In addition to the neighborhoods, the students will also spend time working together in the art room, music room and gymnasium. The numerous windows throughout the building help create a feeling of shared space even between rooms. Haugen said true collaboration requires respect. “We want to be respectful to everyone and have a safe environment, and we wanted to talk about what that will actually look like. We are a brand-new community and we need to establish those routines and procedures, and have a common level of respect for everybody.� To further community building and creating a new East Lake identity, the school has already planned its first fundraiser. Laps for the Lake will take place on Sept. 29. It is a pledge drive event where students will take buses to East Lake and walk around it. During their walk, students will participate in activities and learning opportunities related to nature. “It is just a way of celebrating a new building and the opportunity that we are all one community,� Haugen said. Haugen is also planning a dedication ceremony in

early or mid-October. At the ceremony, East Lake Elementary will reveal its school mascot, which the students will help select. They’ll also announce the school colors and school song. Haugen said the school is also working on a to-be-announced project that will allow this first group of students to leave a permanent mark on the building. Haugen said the biggest challenge so far at East Lake Elementary has been rapid growth. “Our challenge is to make sure we provide a learning experience that works for each classroom, and each student, so that as this growth continues – and I’m anticipating that it will – we can continue to provide the best possible learning experience for our kids,� he said. Understanding that each student will come into this new environment with different emotions is also important, Haugen said. “We have five schools coming together, and we are going to work hard

to make the East Lake School a community,� he said. “Parents are excited and kids are excited, and we want to build off of that excitement for sure. But, some kids are missing their friends and we want them to feel that ‘this is my school, this is my community and I can feel at home when I walk into East Lake.’ � Haugen described his staff as “resilient.� He said they are excited about being a community of instructors who can develop the culture at East Lake. As construction at East Lake Elementary approaches completion, and students prepare for their first day at a new school, building on ideals of collaboration and community remain the top priority. “Yesterday we didn’t have sod. Today, we have a front yard,� he said. “Every day you see changes and it’s just everybody coming together.� Contact Amy Mihelich at amy.mihelich@ecm-inc. com.

SUN THISWEEK - Apple Valley Sept. 1, 2017 9A

Sports Eagles bring experienced lineup to new schedule Apple Valley to play mostly Class 5A teams in regular season by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A glance at the schedule suggests Apple Valley’s new football reality is complete. Gone from the regular season lineup are teams such as Prior Lake, Lakeville North and, perhaps most notably, the three other District 196 teams – Eagan, Eastview and Rosemount. In their place are schools closer to Apple Valley’s enrollment, such as Bloomington Jefferson, Park of Cottage Grove and Hastings. In 2012, the Eagles moved from the largest enrollment class to the second largest for the postseason, even though they continued to play the biggest schools in the South Suburban Conference. When the advent of district football scheduling essentially blew up previous conference alignments, it appeared to be just a matter of time before the Eagles’ regularseason schedule changed, too. That day is here. Apple Valley is scheduled to play only one Class 6A school this season – Hopkins, the opponent in the Eagles’ home and season opener at 7 p.m. Thursday. The rest are in Class 5A, where the Eagles will be for the postseason. “It’s too bad we don’t get to play Eastview in the Battle for the Apple game anymore,” said Eagles senior lineman Riley Hansen. “That was the most fun week of the season. And the kids at Rosemount, Eastview and Eagan are the ones we played in eighth and ninth grade.”

Justin Firpo could be a two-way force for Apple Valley as a running back and linebacker. But, Hansen added, the schedule is out of the players’ hands, and they still have goals to achieve. One is to return to the state playoffs and strive for a better ending. The Eagles finished 7-4 last season after losing 28-24 to Owatonna in the Class 5A quarterfinals on a Hail Mary touchdown pass in the final minute. A number of Eagles players also were on the team last year and remember how that felt. “We have a big group of returning seniors,” coach Chad Clendening said. “They’ve played a lot of football and are bringing the younger kids along. We also think we have quite a few juniors

and sophomores who are up-and-coming players.” The Eagles have a large, experienced group of linemen. Hansen and senior Spencer Rolland, who has committed to play football at Harvard University, will begin their third season as starters. Seniors Jon Erickson and Logan Wangerin also are returning starters. Several of them also are likely to see some duty on defense. Seniors Luke Martens and Nathan Macho could give Apple Valley one of the metro area’s best receiving duos. Despite missing several games because of a leg injury, Martens was the Eagles’ leader in receptions and receiving yardage last season.

push the ball downfield, whereas this year “it might look a little different,” Clendening said. “It might be a little more horizontal, but we’re looking for someone to get the ball to our receivers in space.” “We lost some good players from last year, but we still think we can take a step forward,” Rolland said. “We have experience, especially on the line, and we have younger guys with talent.” Senior linebacker Justin Firpo returns as one of the Eagles’ top defensive players. Jackson Green, another senior, also returns at linebacker. Josh Arnold is a two-year starter at cornerback and Ethan Thomas has started every game at safety the last two years. “Ethan can do a lot of things,” Clendening said. “We’re looking for him to have a great season.” Like most Class 5A schools, the Eagles can’t afford a rash of injuries, but Clendening said the depth is better than it has been in recent seasons. As a group, they also have had a history of success. “These are guys I’ve been playing with for a few years,” McKeag said. “They’ve won a lot of games in basketball and football. When I was a ninth-grader, I think our two ninth-grade teams were 15-0 in football.

There are a lot of guys here that are ready to compete.” Apple Valley is working with Eastview High School to look for ways to continue the Battle for the Apple fundraising element, which benefited cancer research, even if the varsity football teams won’t meet at least in the near future. As for the schedule changes, Clendening is philosophical. “It’s unfortunate we won’t be playing teams that have been traditional rivals for us, but on the other hand the schedule we have now probably is a better fit for our enrollment,” he said. “It won’t stop these kids from trying to play their best.” Contact Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

He had 11 catches for 160 yards and five touchdowns in a 42-41 victory over Eastview. Kellen McKeag, a senior, is likely to play running back, and senior Tyler Cardella could see time there as well. Cardella also is a candidate to start at quarterback, as are senior Tre Reinertson and sophomore Noah Halmar. All are seeking to take over for Noah Sanders, now at North Dakota State, who set Apple Valley singleseason records for passing yardage and touchdown passes. The Eagles will need somebody who can get the ball to their talented Apple Valley captains are Riley Hansen (left), Kellen receivers. Sanders could McKeag and Spencer Rolland.

Lightning will have a much different look Eastview emphasizing speed over bulk, out of necessity by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Everything fans remember about Eastview football could be flipped on its head this season. Known previously as a big, physical team that liked to pound away at opponents until they proved they could stop it, the Lightning is looking at an identity change, at least for this season. The roster is populated with quick but smaller players, and that will dictate changes in how Eastview plays on both sides of the line. “I feel like we’re going to be more of a passing team this year. In the past we’ve been more rushdominant. We have some weapons,” said senior tight end Mohamed Mahmoud. “I would say we’re quick on both sides of the ball,” coach Kelly Sherwin said. “We have playmakers on both sides of the ball. Now it’s got to show up on the field somehow, some way.” Did we mention the Lightning gets to try this out Thursday on the road against Eden Prairie, which has won 10 state large-school championships in the last 21 years? “It’s awesome we get Eden Prairie right away,” Sherwin said. “I think we’ll experience some adversity and hopefully we’ll have success too. How they learn to react to both those situations is what’s important. It’s a long grind. Week 1 is way different from Week 8 and Week 9.

Mohamed Mahmoud (left) and Jeremy Lombardi are two of Eastview’s returning seniors. “We have so many guys who haven’t played varsity football yet. It will be an eye-opening, educational experience for them. And then we need to stop the run. That’s getting ready for Eden Prairie, right? Someone that’s going to come downhill right at us and be very physical. We need to see how we stack up against that, then we need to see if we can make a team adjust to us by getting some pressure and giving them some different looks.” Eastview was 3-6 in 2016, a step forward from its 0-9 record in 2015, only the second winless season in school history. Last season was “an improvement, but not as good as we would have liked,” said senior offensive lineman Jeremy Lombardi. “We can be better this year. We have a lot of young guys who have a lot of potential. They seem really determined to do well, and the grades below us always have been very successful.” “We’re not the biggest team, but we’ve got a lot of heart and we work hard,” Mahmoud said. “We all just need to do our

jobs. If we do that we’ll be pretty successful.” Eastview’s offense is likely to try to work the perimeter, getting the ball to some speedy backs and receivers. “We’ve definitely remade ourselves offensively,” Sherwin said. “Getting the ball to our guys in space is going to be important as well as being able to run enough. We’re a little undersized up front, as small as we’ve ever been. “Defensively, it’s going to be kind of a movement defense. We’ll have to be able to get some pressure. We’re going to be athletic, but again undersized. Being able to stand up against a big, physical team is going to be a question, but our kids are smart. Once we can figure out what we’re good at, and it’s going to take some time, we’ll be fine.” Junior wide receiver Larry Wright could be one of the Lightning’s top offensive players. Sherwin described him as a potential Division I college player. Demetrius Covington, a 200-pound senior, got some carries at running back last season. “We’ll also give him a role

With a smaller group than in years past, Eastview’s offense must be prepared to attack the perimeter, coach Kelly Sherwin said. defensively,” Sherwin said. “Mohamed (Mahmoud) is the same way. Those are two guys who started the last seven or eight games last season.” Many of the offensive linemen will be new starters, as will the Eastview quarterback, whomever it is. Sherwin said last week there were three candidates, one senior and two juniors. “Our quarterback will be doing a lot of decision making,” Sherwin said. Roy Boese, a 200-pound senior Sherwin described as “quick and disruptive,” returns on the defensive line. Senior Brady O’Neil returns at linebacker. “Defensively, we have so many

good young kids,” the coach said. “The secondary is going to be all new. We’ll probably have four juniors starting.” For the Lightning, 2017 will be about building steadily for a playoff run in late October into November. Even though the Lightning won just three games last season, Sherwin said he believes the program rediscovered its attitude. “We started getting back to where we expected to win and expected to be successful,” he said. “It was hard. The year we didn’t win a game, even during that season, practice was always outstanding. We’ve been able to carry that on

and now when something goes wrong, we don’t fold our tent. That’s what we got out of last year.” Contact Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

Youthful Blaze football team faces big Week 1 challenge Varpness’ first game as head coach is at Lakeville North by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Burnsville has either two returning starters or four, depending on how you prefer to count them. If you go by number of players, it’s two – senior Tre Thomas and junior Marcus Shepley. If you’re talking about the number of positions, it’s four, as Thomas plays linebacker and running back, and Shepley will be a safety and quarterback. They will be asked to do a lot while an otherwise

young football team gets up to speed. “We’re trying to push them as much as we can right now because they have a lot of learning to do,� said first-year head coach Vince Varpness. “They were pretty confident as a young group coming in. We have to get them to understand the varsity level is a little different than the younger levels, but they’re responding to the challenge.� Another challenge to which the Blaze will have to respond comes Thursday, when it plays at Lakeville North in its season opener. North is likely to be one of the top 10 teams in the state Class 6A preseason rankings.

It will be the first game as head coach for Varpness, who was Burnsville’s offensive coordinator last season. He was promoted when Tyler Krebs, the Blaze’s coach the last six seasons, left to be head coach at Lakeville South. The Blaze was 16-5 in Krebs’ final two seasons. Varpness was head coach at St. Louis Park for two years and has had several assistant coaching assignments with high school and college teams. Many of the same assistant coaches are back, and Thomas said there’s been continuity. “The tempo is the same. We switched up a couple of things with the new coach, but it’s still the

same process,� Thomas said. “We might be a little undersized, but we’ll definitely work, and we have heart.� Thomas is likely to get more carries this season after Burnsville’s top two running backs from last season (Jackson Martens and Steph Olson Jr.) graduated. He will return to his starting position at linebacker. Jordan Discher, a 250-pound junior, is likely to play offensive and defensive line and will be one of the leaders of a young group of linemen. Also returning is the varsity placekicker, senior Jake Boatman. Shepley started at wide receiver last season but is

expected to take over as the Blaze’s quarterback this fall. “He’s looking really good. Now we’re trying to build some consistency because he’s still young,� Varpness said. Another junior, Tommy Tester, also can play quarterback but probably will start the season at wide receiver as the target for passes from Shepley. “He’s a guy like Marcus Shepley who’s going to be on the field all the time,� the coach said. Seniors Randy Kim, Will Bramley and Levi Gutierrez also are wide receivers, and junior Darien Claybourne is expected to get some carries at running back. Thomas (6-foot-1, 210

% " "% %%

! & ' !"

pounds) had more than 70 tackles last season. Shepley will return to his spot at free safety. Junior Kyle Atkinson (6-1, 275) saw playing time on the defensive line and had one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and 1.5 sacks. Kim, Gutierrez and Tester are candidates to take spots in the defensive backfield, and juniors Drew Schwab and Nick Hudson are likely contributors on the line. Varpness described Burnsville’s defense as having potential but needing experience. “We have a ton of linebackers. The outside linebacker position is very competitive right now,� he said.

Caponi Art Park brings back Bluegrass and Beer Successful first run inspires Sept. 8 event by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The market for a bluegrass and beer happy hour party exceeded the expectations of the Caponi Art Park earlier in the summer, so much so that organizers are planning a sequel. Bluegrass and Beer 2 is scheduled for 4:30-7:30 p.m. Sept. 8 at Caponi Art Park. It will feature beer from Eagan’s own Bald Man Brewing; music from the Roe Family Singers and String Beans; and a pair of food trucks from Northbound Smokehouse and Brewpub and Home Street Home all nestled deep in the woods of Eagan. “Watching a mass of strangers come together like they did (July 14), was really something special,� said Steven Read, organizer with Caponi Art Park. “When we find something like that, you want to keep it around.� Last time they ran out food, and the beer vendor had to run back for more kegs. “With any new programs there are a few AUTHOR, from 3A Waltz,� 2010, and “The Purloined Bag,� 2011) that trafficked in happenstance, scandal and comeuppance. “You’re going to reap what you sow,� said Bergerson, whose second novel ends with dirty money being donated to the church. “You’re going to sow

hiccups,� Read said. “We wanted to come back at it again because everyone had such a great time. ... Everything is going to be a little more polished and a little more bigger. Hopefully we luck out again with really good weather. ... Bald Man was given the heads up to bring a lot of beer. The nice thing about them, if they do manage to run out, it’s only an eight-minute drive to come back.� The Roe Family Singers are a staple of the local bluegrass scene. The husband and wife duo feature Quillan Roe on the banjo and Kim Roe with the guitar and vocals. They include as many as seven other musicians who bring a washboard, violin, bass and auto harp to the mix. They even exhibit clog dancing. The sequel has a plan for a better parking situation. Parking will still available on-site and at the athletic fields to the east. Both of which filled up quickly last time. Bald Man Brewing is also offering a shuttle bus running from 4-8:30 p.m. from their brewery to the park and back.

In case of rain the event will be held at Bald Man Brewing Company, 2020 Silver Bell Road, Unit 25. Bald Man Brewing also has music scheduled for Sept. 8. Jud Hailey is scheduled to play at 7:30 p.m. “You could make one heck of a night going back and forth,� Read said. The unexpected crowds was a pleasant surprise for organizers last time. They felt it brought in a whole new audience to the park. “We did a survey and a good portion of the people were new to the park,� Read said. “We want to be able to share what we have at the park. Hopefully they come back to walk around the trails and look at the artwork and come back for another event. It shows people that Eagan has this beautiful urban oasis.� Tickets for Bluegrass and Beer 2 are $10 in advance and $12 at the gate. Admission for those 12 and under is free. The event is open to all ages. “Last time there were kids running the hills playing tag and adults

He and his wife, Polly, attend Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Burnsville, where she is a tutor and volunteer.

“In my spare time, I either paint, or I write,� Bergerson said. He enjoys observing people and reading newspapers, particularly the human-interest stories. “People like to read about people,� Bergerson said. “But today, for cryin’ out loud, you see kids going down the street punching buttons.

municate, you can’t look anything up — do they read stuff like this? I don’t know. I don’t understand rap music, I don’t understand any of that stuff. But I like to take people out for lunch or something, and mostly women, I guess, because they talk about what’s in here (points to his heart) and not what’s up here (points to his head).

“That’s where I get my material. I listen to somebody, or something happens in the paper, and I just twist it a little bit.� His stories have generous amounts of dialogue. Bergerson said he’s been told he has an ear for it. “People writing today, they don’t have the five senses in it,� said the author, who hesitates to read

too much into his work. “If you get a chuckle, I guess that’s the message,� he said. “I’m not trying to teach a moral lesson. My philosophy is not going to be yours.�

Rotary of Farmington not only gives thousands of dollars in scholarships each year, it also provides a fun music event with its annual Ramble Jam at the Dakota County Fairgrounds.

Krysia Moe, Farmington Rotary president, says they will need approximately 385 volunteers to smoothly run the event, but 140 shifts are still yet to be filled. The event though has reached its sponsorship quota and ticket sales continue to increase. She says that this year’s lineup is one of their best yet. Of the names coming to town, Moe is excited to see all of them. “Personally,� she said, “I am most excited for Kip Moore, although

there is not one act that I am not excited to see live.� Taking the stage on Friday will be: local Minneapolis artist Chris Hawkey, Tucker Beathard, whose 2016 single “Rock On� reached No. 2 on Country Airplay, and Brett Young, a California native who has been nominated for several 2017 Country Music Awards including New Male Vocalist of the Year. On Saturday folks can check out The Plott Hounds, another local Minneapolis group, Drew Baldridge, another up and coming artist who has worked his way up the charts: William Michael Morgan, Drake White & The Big Fire, who have opened for a number of big names like Eric Church, Luke Bryan, and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

18A Sept. 1, 2017 SUN THISWEEK - Apple Valley

ZOO, from 1A more “creepy-crawly� nocturnal animals. “The design will be like you are coming out of the ocean, into the bottom floors of the forest and ultimately into the upper floors, into the aviary canopy,� Otten said. “It’s a very exciting exhibit that they are going to be pulling together – a totally different look than this plywood boarding.� As they continued through the building, members saw the massive skylights that provide nutrients and needed UV rays for the birds and animals in the Tropics Trail. Otten said the old winVIVO, from 1A a kitchen on wheels. They began working on the layout with truck builders in September 2016, but it wasn’t until early April 2017 that the Vivo Mobile Kitchen was delivered. Figuring out how to fit everything in the truck was a challenge, Wesener said. Mark Palm, owner of Chameleon Concessions and known as Minnesota’s top food truck designer, worked with Vivo chefs to design a truck that would not only have all of the necessary equipment, but would also make the layout user-friendly. Wesener said the development process was long, but they got it right. Vivo catered its first mobile kitchen event on May 4. The chefs can cook scratch food on-site, as the Vivo Mobile Kitchen holds every piece of equipment the chefs have in the Vivo restaurant building. They’ve packed three ovens, a grill, a deep fryer, five refrigerators and a freezer into the truck. Vivo staff can also bring along a separate trailer containing tables, chairs and dishes needed for an event. “We bring the restau-

dows are failing and some have broken. He said the glass can fall into the exhibits and cause hazards for the animals. The zoo has already replaced about one-quarter of the existing skylights, but Otten says more work is necessary. Members also saw the snow monkey exhibit, which was scheduled to undergo a $17 million renovation. Frawley said these plans have changed; rather than putting all of the zoo’s resources into one area, they will make improvements throughout the zoo. In addition, zoo staff outlined their plans for a new, elevated walkway,

10 miles of hiking trails, campsites and an adventure course. They said they want to do more to make the zoo a place for people of all ages. “The Minnesota Zoo, that ‘new zoo,’ is now almost 40 years old,� Frawley said. “The biggest thing is that we want to shift from the blockbuster approach to more of a business model with return on investment.� Throughout the morning, legislators had an opportunity to ask questions and speak with members of the Minnesota Zoo’s administration team. When their questions had been answered, Frawley gave a few clos-

rant anywhere without compromise,� Director of Community Development David Peterson said. “Most catering companies are geared around big numbers, not necessarily the quality of the food. We are not compromising the quality of our food. It’s a locally sourced, seasonal scratch kitchen on wheels.� At every catering event, as many as two chefs prepare the food from scratch on-site. They serve appetizers, salads, entrees, deserts and drinks, just as they do in the restaurant. While some events encourage people to come up to the truck to get their food, Wesener said that people may not always see the truck at events because guests will be inside while the chefs are cooking outside. The Vivo Mobile Kitchen has been especially useful for receptions at locations that do not have a kitchen. “We can cook beautiful, plated food with nice garnishes and serve it in a beautiful, refurnished barn that doesn’t have a kitchen,� Wesener said. “What we provide is restaurant quality anywhere you are.� Vivo’s dedication to us-

ing fresh, locally-sourced items set it apart. They order basil from Edina, tomatoes from Waverly and corn from local farmers. They say the quality of ingredients and the care given to preparing each plate makes Vivo’s catering service unique. “Most of the time, when you are at a catered event, people don’t go away talking about the food. It’s just there, and you eat it,� Peterson said. “What we are trying to do is change that and have people leave talking about the food. We want the food to add to the experience.� The Vivo Mobile Kitchen has been out to an event every week throughout the summer. Some weeks, they’ve gone to three or four. Wesener said they’ve already had to turn away business because the truck has been booked. This summer, Vivo used the mobile kitchen for several community outreach events. It appeared throughout the summer at the Music in Kelley Park concert series on Friday nights. They served concession-style food that was family-priced and locallysourced. “We don’t want to be a restaurant in the community; we want to be a

ing remarks before escorting committee members back to their bus for lunch and the ride home. “Let’s revitalize the zoo. Let’s get the monorail working, let’s get people transported around the zoo, let’s fix the nocturnal trail, and let’s put that asset preservation money to work,� Frawley said. “It’s not exciting, it’s not sexy, but it’s what this zoo needs right now. And so that’s why I’ve shifted to this focus.� Contact Amy Mihelich at amy.mihelich@ecm-inc. Photo by Amy Mihelich com.

Chefs work side-by-side in the Vivo Mobile Kitchen to prepare a fresh, locally-sourced, restaurant quality meal for up to 250 people at any location. restaurant that is part of our community,� Peterson said. They also partner with Tree House, an organization that works with at risk youths. Vivo brings the mobile kitchen to Bloomington every second Thursday of the month to provide meals for 40 atrisk youths. “It’s been really fun because the kids get to know us, and they are excited

about Vivo,� Wesener said. “They are always happy and smiling. That’s what it’s all about – trying to make people happy.� This fall, the Vivo Mobile Kitchen will appear at the Octoberfest event in Kelley Park as well as a few community parades. They are considering options for expansion, which include a possibility of a second mobile kitchen. Vivo is located in Apple
