Next Act moves to second scene in sixth year Sister-owned furniture store thrives in new location by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

When sisters Patti Peltz and Nancy Donahue decided to open a furniture and home decor store in Apple Valley, in October 2012, they were met with skepticism. “When we first opened, there were the nay-sayers who said, ‘Painted furniture? How long is that going to stay open?’ ” Peltz said. “Most of the time when people thought of it they thought of Up North — those little stores in communities up there. Well, now we’ve been here for six years.” This is a story of two sisters who beat the odds and “made it.” Just as Next Act gives “previously loved” furniture a second life, it gave Peltz and Donahue second careers. In 2012, Peltz was running a quilt store in Apple Val-

Both were searching for a new opportunity, and decided to pair Peltz’s artistic talent with Donahue’s business sense and open a new store together.

Donahue is the owner of Next Act, and Peltz is the primary furniture painter. They buy used furniture and refurbish it to create beautiful, affordable pieces. Peltz said when they opened the store they had fewer than 30 pieces of fur-

niture in the 3,000-squarefoot space. “In that huge bay we had a table, a hutch and some painted frames on the wall. And we laugh now — we had the guts to open that door,” Donahue said. They did their best to make use of the large space. They kept unpainted furniture in the back of the store where they could work on it, and Peltz also taught painting classes in a section of store. They say their store is different from others that sell similar products. Rather than being open for a few days a month or solely making appearances at craft fairs, Next Act is open every week, Wednesday through Sunday. The style and price point of the furniture caters toward people who are redecorating their homes — especially young couples who

Bikers shifted into gear against 15 mph winds on Saturday, Sept. 9 at the fourth annual Le Tour de Apple Valley. Children, adults, and families had the opportunity to bike around the city with the Apple Valley Fire Department, the mayor and members of the community. Le Tour de Apple Valley began in 2014 as a fitness event for firefighters. Firefighter and event organizer Michael Sindt said the event was small; that year, 17 people participated. Slowly, the Tour gained momentum. In 2015, attendance doubled; 35 people participated. Sindt was pleased, but wanted to make the event even larger. He learned Mayor Mary Hamann-Roland had previously hosted a biking event called Ride with the Mayor. He reached out to her, and

They say if a customer wants an item in the store, they have to pull the price tag off of it to claim it, and they recommend customers make up their minds quickly as they’ve had to settle a few disagreements between customers who fell in love with the same piece of furniture. “If you say, ‘I’m going to think about it,’ you’re not going to get half-way home and someone else is going to buy it,” Peltz said. “That is how fast our pieces go.” In March 2017, Next Act moved from Time Square strip mall to the

Outdoor gym constructed at Cobblestone Park New facilities on park’s west end in the works by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Choosing between soaking in summer sunshine or reaching summer fitness goals is a problem of the past with the new outdoor gym on Cobblestone Lake’s west end. The exercise equipment is just one project in the ongoing construction of Cobblestone Park. Building of the Cobblestone development began nearly two decades ago. When the housing crisis hit in 2008, progress came to a halt. In the past few years, construction regained momentum. Not only have new homes sprung up, but the park encircling Cobblestone Lake has almost reached completion. Users of the park currently enjoy a walking trail, bike trail, canoe launch, playground and picnic tables. Apple Valley Parks Maintenance Superintendent Tom Adamini, however, has even bigger plans for the grounds. Individuals or small groups visiting the park

may now take advantage of the new outdoor gym. In addition to walking, jogging or biking the 1.4mile loop around the lake, people looking to intensify their workout will find a dozen pieces of exercise equipment on the west end of the lake. “It’s basically stuff that you would find in a health club, but it’s made for outdoors,” Adamini said. Adamini said his team decided to build the outdoor gym because it is unique and will be useful for the community surrounding the park. “It just made a lot of sense with the walk around the lake,” Adamini said. “With the senior citizen building we think we will have a lot of users, perhaps, from there who will want to use that equipment. Plus, younger members of the community who are walking around might be able to use it and be outside instead of going to a health club.” Although landscaping is not complete in the area, park-goers are welcome to

use the equipment. Construction teams have already built a large pergola on the west end of the lake, and they are currently in the process of building a restroom facility and a picnic pavilion in the same area. The pavilion will have seating for 40, but the patio next to it will be able to accommodate larger groups. Once construction reaches completion, the west side of the park will become the main entrance. Adamini said they will build a 40-stall parking lot near the entrance, as roadside parking is currently the only public access at this time. With the building, the restroom, the pergola, the exercise equipment and added amenities such as benches, tables and trash cans, Adamini estimates the project will cost around $850,000 to complete. The bid for the restroom alone Photo by Amy Mihelich came in at $604,000. Adamini said funding The new outdoor gym at Cobblestone Park features 12 for the park comes from pieces of weather-proof exercise equipment. Many of the pieces utilize gravity and the user’s own weight to provide an outdoor workout experience. See PARK, 14A

Matters was charged with 24 tax-related felonies by the Dakota County Attorney’s Office in February 2016. The complaint states he failed to file returns and pay income tax. Matters failed to file

and pay his individual income taxes from 2011 to 2014. He was also charged with failing to file and pay sales and withholding taxes for his business, along with continuing to operate that business after the department revoked his sales tax permit. He owned Matters Maintenance Group Inc., My Maid and TLC from the 1990s to 2014, according to the complaint. Bank records showed gross business deposits of between $164,000 and $191,000 between 2010 and 2013, which are subject to both income and sales tax. In a telephone interview with investigators September 2015, Matters claimed he had not

been in the cleaning business since 2012 when he stopped filing tax returns. When asked about his bank records that showed business receipts and wages paid for 2013 and 2014, Matters didn’t have an explanation, according to the complaint. Two employees who indicated they were employed by Matters during that time, said he was withholding taxes from their paychecks. He was previously convicted of seven tax-related felonies in 2009. He was sentenced to 30 days of home monitoring, eight years of probation, and was fined nearly $1,400. Investigators received See FRAUD, 7A

The 1965 Burnsville High School graduate, who was inducted into the school’s Hall of Fame in 2011, returned to the area he once roamed as a youth as he walked in the parade with his House colleague, U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis. Though Bergman and Lewis have traveled some very different life paths to Saturday’s event, the 2016 election brought them together in a very unlikely way. Both were elected to their first terms to open seats last fall, and as the luck of the 435-member draw would have it, the Michigan House representative’s office in the Cannon Building was placed two doors down from Lewis, who is serving the area where Bergman was raised. “Savage was 300 people when I was growing up,� Bergman said. “My parents, my teachers, my coaches, the constable

New water meters to be installed in 2018 Apple Valley homes and businesses will get more accurate readings by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The city of Apple Valley will install new water meters in all homes and business within the next two years. The water meter project, which has been in the works since October 2015, will roll out in the beginning of 2018. Currently, businesses and residents in Apple Valley use two types of water meter systems. One requires city employees to drive through neighborhoods and record radio transmitted readings, and the other necessitates a contracted company to go to each individual home and get a touch-reading of the meter. Over the past two years, Apple Valley Public Works has evaluated different kinds of meterreading systems. They’ve chosen one called AMI, or Advanced Metering Infrastructure. With the new AMI system, the meters will selfreport the information. Antennas will be installed on four of the city’s five water towers. The radios will beam the meter information to these antennas, and the antennas will feed

the information back to mission control at Apple Valley City Hall. On Thursday, Aug. 24, the City Council awarded a $4.2 million contract for the completion of the water meter project. The approved the total project cost, including the consultant fee and contingency, totals $4.8 million. The project has four main objectives. First, the city hopes to increase meter accuracy by replacing approximately 15,800 aging meters and installing new radios on nearly 1,000 other newer meters. This project will impact every residence in Apple Valley, as each home will either need a new meter or radio. “The meters do wear out over time, so their accuracy degrades,� Public Works Director Matt Saam said. “So, when they’re brand new they’re going to measure the water most accurately. Then, over time — say, 20 years — from a 99.9 percent accuracy they might be down to 70 or something in that range. They do generally degrade over time, and you just have to be on a system to replace these.� Saam said Public Works staff will be sitting

Each year, the Fairview Ridges Hospital medical staff sponsors $1,500 scholarships for 10 deserving, academically outstanding high school seniors in the community. One student is chosen from each high school in the area. This year’s recipients are Brooke Lewis, Apple Valley; Paige Gardner, Burnsville; John Streed, Eagan; Emily King, Eastview; Danniella Balangoy, Farmington; Evan ElHalawani, Lakeville North; Taya Heindel, Lakeville South; Anna Panek, Prior Lake; Jacob Smith, Rosemount; Sara O’Halloran, School of Environmental Studies. “The physicians and leadership of the Fairview Ridges Hospital medical staff believe strongly in supporting

our surrounding community high school students in their pursuit of higher education,� said Jessica Vanderscoff, MD, former chief of staff at Fairview Ridges. “Every year, I am uplifted by the incredible and diverse academic and extracurricular accomplishments of these amazing students. They give us hope for the future.� This year’s recipients were recently invited to an award ceremony at the hospital, where they were congratulated by hospital president Patrick Belland. This is the 29th year Fairview Ridges’ medical staff has awarded scholarships to local students. Recipients can use the scholarships for any post-secondary educational program.

down with the contractor this fall to decide where to begin the replacement process. He said before the project can fully roll out they will do a test run on about 50 homes – mostly likely belonging to City Council members, city staff and friends of city staff. Once they know the meters and radios are working properly, they can continue to work on the rest of the city. By early 2018, Apple Valley residents and business owners will begin hearing from the Public Works department about the hired contractor coming into their home or building. Public Works will work through one section of the city at a time until the two-year project, which is projected to wrap up in late 2019, is complete. The city’s second objective for the project is to gain the ability to provide improved customer service by proactively detecting water loss and high or low water usage. Saam said his team is looking into the possibility of a customer portal — either an app or online account — where customers will be able to make

automatic payments and see their usage over time. He said they are working toward a shift from quarterly meter readings and billings to monthly. “In a quarterly system, if there is a problem with the meter, it can go on for three, four, even five months before we find out and we are able to tell people we are seeing some abnormality,� Saam said. He said there are times when customers rack up large water bills without knowing it. “Say there’s a snowbird who goes to Arizona for the winter and doesn’t turn off their water, or maybe there’s a leak — well if it starts in November and we don’t read the meter again for three more months it could be January. And then the bill doesn’t go out till the next month. You lose a lot of time there.� Saam said that the new system would allow the city to get hourly reads on a meter if needed. The project’s third objective is to reduce operational costs for meter reading and repairs. In 2016, the city spent $23,484 on contractual meter reading services. Saam said the new AMI system

should eliminate the need for these services, and he expects to save this same amount of money from not having to contract out for touch reads. City staff will no longer have to spend time driving through neighborhoods to get the radio readings, as they do under the current system. Saam says the staff will be able to use that time to work on other projects. The fourth and final objective is to enhance conservation capabilities. Saam hopes to provide customers with additional information along-side their water bill. Customers may be able to see how their water use compares to the average in their neighborhood. “Water is a valuable resource — even in Minnesota where it is very abundant,� he said. “We want to protect it as best we can.� This is the third largest water project in the city’s history. The construction of the approximately $6 million Water Treatment Plant, which opened in 1989, and the approximately $15 million expansion of the plant, completed in 2015, are the only

larger projects. The city last replaced water meters in a project that lasted from 1993 to 1999. The project was completed “in-house� by city staff. Saam said that the project may have taken such a long time because city’s maintenance staff had to complete the meter replacements along with their other tasks. Saam said there will be no additional cost to residents for the project. He said residents with old meters might see an uptick in their water bills — not because of increased prices but because their meters will be more accurate. He encouraged citizens to consider their consumption. “Of course, it’s all based on usage,� he said. “You use less; your bill goes down. You use more; your bill goes up.� Until the installation begins, the Public Works team will stay busy working with the contractor, installing the antennas on the water towers, loading software and preparing for the first transmissions from the new meters.

Medallion found in Neill Park Third time is a charm for Burnsville Fire Muster prize hunter by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Matt Koskie had his Burnsville Fire Muster Medallion Hunt narrowed to five parks on Day 3 of the 2017 event on Thursday. One of those parks that he said fit the bill of all the activities listed in the third clue was Neill Park. He surmised that the “more in the winter� from the clue may have indicated the medallion was somewhere on the designated sledding hill in the park. After looking around the sign at the top of the hill, Koskie fanned out a bit looking in the grass, and to his amazement there was the Burnsville Fire Muster Medallion. He located the medallion at about 10:15 a.m. Wednesday, a little over an hour after the third clue was released. Koskie said there were other people in Neill Park looking for the medallion at the time he was, but he was practically alone when he found it. He said it felt great to win the hunt, which the Hastings native said he has been participating in for the past three years. Koskie was in the right park during last year’s hunt, but was unable to find the medallion, so this year was especially satisfying. For his efforts, Koskie won a prize pack worth more than $900. The prize pack includes gift certificates from the

Opinion District 196 Community Education seeks to expand scholarships by Khia Brown SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Each year, more than 50,000 Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District 196 residents participate in a Community Education program. These programs are offered at the lowest possible cost in order to best serve the needs of our community. Unfortunately, many families still struggle to pay the fees and are unable to participate in programs that teach essential life skills, assist in employment and/or extend what is being taught in the classroom. Last year, the Community Education Department provided over $51,000 in financial assistance to allow low-income community members to participate in an array of quality enrichment programs such as college prep, career exploration, technology, swim instruction, health and wellness, theater, language and STE(A)M courses as well as after-school classes and summer sports camps. These programs provide participants with the opportunity to pursue their interests, expand their abilities and improve social skills in a fun and safe environment. Participants are not the only ones who receive positive outcomes from their involvement in Community Education programs. The participant’s

family, school and larger community all prosper when people are engaged in consistent, quality learning experiences. Did you know? • Drowning is the second leading cause of death for children ages 5-8 and swim instruction reduced the risk of drowning by 88 percent. If one hasn’t learned to swim by third grade, they likely never will. • Students in high-quality afterschool programs have better attendance, behavior, grades and test scores, work habits, and increase their likelihood of moving on to the next grade level and graduating. • For every dollar invested in afterschool programs, $2.50 is saved in crimerelated costs. • Having after-school choices helps parents keep their jobs, helps students succeed, and helps ensure businesses can hire the local workforce they need to thrive. • After-school programs not only

have a positive effect on students at risk of failure, but help reduce the achievement gap between students from lower and high-income families. Here are two stories on how financial assistance has helped District 196 students: “One high school student wanted to work as a lifeguard to help support his family. Being from a household living in poverty, they could not afford the training. Through a combination of a Community Education scholarship and a contribution made through the high school athletic department, he was able to become a Red Cross certified lifeguard. We, in turn, hired this young person to work as a lifeguard so he could contribute to the support of his family.” — Pat Bennett, Community Education aquatics program coordinator “I have two daughters who benefited greatly from the after-school scholarship program by participating in the Double Dutch Club. They enjoyed the team concepts, learned patience and how to work as a team. They enjoyed performing at other schools, the Mall of America, Target Field and being recognized by others. It also kept the girls busy and something to look forward to at the end of the school day. I believe every child should have a chance, whether or not they can afford the fees associated

with an after-school activity, regardless of what that activity may be. The scholarship program should definitely be offered for all programs for the children in ISD 196. It gives them so many opportunities to find themselves, their likes and dislikes! As a single mother this program was a huge help for my family! My children would not have been able to be a part of many activities offered without it. I’d like to thank District 196 Community Education for giving my girls this wonderful opportunity to participate and hope others will also benefit from it in the future.” — Parent of two Rosemount Elementary students Please consider being a sponsor of District 196 Community Education and providing financial assistance for youths and families to participate in these programs to engage, inspire and enrich their lives.

Minnesota parents explain why they selected a charter public school by Joe Nathan

SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Passionate responses from parents help explain why the number of Minnesota students attending charter public schools has grown from less than 100 in 1992 to more than 50,000 this year, the 25th anniversary of the first charter opening. Their views, plus constructive responses from some districts, help demonstrate why this growing movement has bipartisan state and national support. Referring to the PiM Arts Charter in Eden Prairie, Ed Wilms said: “The transformation we saw in him from a kid who ate his lunch in the bathroom stall so he didn’t have to talk with anyone to having the lead role in the school musical his senior year was incredible.” Though his three sons are “dramatically different,” Wilms said the school served each of them well. Kelley Zender, a parent of three children at DaVinci Charter in Ham Lake wrote: “From the moment my children and I walked into DaVinci, we felt the warm and welcoming environment. The staff gets to know each child for who they are and finds amazing ways to reach each child at their academic level. All three of my children have grown leaps and bounds in all areas

of their life; academic, social, problem solvers, and emotionally.” As Elizabeth Ryan explained: “Where our student was lost and bored in a traditional setting, at Northwest Passage Charter High School (Coon Rapids) he is challenged and able to meet these challenges with confidence, maturity, responsibility, and grace.” Khadija Abdi wrote: “I like Ubah Medical Academy (in Hopkins) for its uniqueness to connect with families and students. I’ve had four children go through this HS and I feel their learning needs were individualized and personalized to their learning needs.” Tom Sagstetter explained: “We chose Spectrum (in Elk River) because it was a smaller school that would challenge our kids. We really like the smaller class sizes, the focus on post-secondary options, and community involvement from the students and Spectrum.” Charters are free, public, nonsectarian schools with no admissions

tests. Their focus and curriculum varies widely, while they are required to take statewide tests. As someone told me, “When you’ve seen one charter school, you’ve seen one charter.” A few examples: • Kaleidoscope, an elementary Montessori in Otsego • Lionsgate in Minnetonka, which focuses on students on the autism spectrum • Two very different K-12 schools in Stillwater — New Heights and St. Croix Prep • Project-based schools making extensive use of the community such as Northwest Passage in Coon Rapids and River Grove in Wilder Forest, near Marine on St. Croix • Arts Focused Schools like Arts and Science Charter in Isanti, DaVinci in Ham Lake or PiM Arts Charter in Eden Prairie • College prep schools including Spectrum in Elk River, Ubah Medical Academy in Hopkins or Eagle Ridge in Eden Prairie While there’s still plenty of work to do, charters have helped produce progress. Minnesota’s graduation rates have increased over the last decade, and the number of graduates who have to take remedial courses at colleges has declined from about 29 percent to about

21 percent. It’s also been encouraging to see some districts, such as Forest Lake, Mankato, Rochester and St. Paul, create new options in response to charters. Moreover, several local teacher union presidents and charter advocates joined together to convince the 2016 Legislature to allocate $500,000 to help district educators create new “teacher led” district options, similar to some Minnesota charters. And some districts such as Farmington and Spring Lake Park have asked for and received greater flexibility, similar to charters, so they can make revisions they think are important, in response to what some call “the charter challenge.” District schools are good options for many students. Noting the progress in Minnesota, more than 40 other states and the District of Columbia have adopted charter laws. Chartering offers rural, suburban and urban families more good options. And all this started, 25 years ago, here in Minnesota. Joe Nathan, formerly a Minnesota public school teacher, administrator, PTA president and director of the Center for School Change.

Letters Climate Solutions Caucus To the editor: In the wake of Hurricanes Irma and Harvey, more people are aware of the likely connection between human activity and major damage involving people’s property, and loss of life. Several months ago, Carlos Curbelo, a Republican, and Ted Deutch, a

Democrat, both members of Congress from south Florida, began the bipartisan Congressional Climate Solutions Caucus. Members are working with their constituents to cut those losses. There are currently 22 members, and there is considerable public interest nationwide. One can imagine community leader Angie Craig, a candidate in the 2nd District, as a caucus member.

Bats not really your enemy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The first annual Bat Festival in Minnesota was, shall we say, a “batacular” success. People lined up for hours to learn about bats, thanks to a sponsorship by the Organization for Bat Conservation. Cortney Solum, visitors’ center manager at the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge in Bloomington, estimated the attendance at 3,000, the biggest turnout at the center over many years. The aim of the festival was to dispel the myths and misinformation about bats and the needless fear so many people have of them. They succeeded by having presentations, speakers, games for kids and the opportunity to see real, live bats from Africa. Kids colored paper bats, cut them out, and even had their faces painted like bats. The kids warily peeked into the bat cave to see what was inside. Visitors even had an opportunity to see the bats come out at sunset. There was bat yoga for the adults, who also had a chance to see a movie about bats, filling an auditorium for multiple showings. One vendor showed people how to turn their phones into bat detectors. What’s good about bats? They spread seeds, eat insects and are great pollinators for farmers. People learned there are 1,200 different kinds of bats in the world.

How can we help bats? Put up a bat house or plant a bat garden that includes night-blooming flowers Few bats are harmful to people, because they prefer habitats that are away from people, You can learn more about bats at: batconservation.org. Why did so many go to Bat Fest? Solum said people attended because they were curious, since they had heard so many bad traits about bats. Their two main questions dealt with having bats in the house and what good are they? One way to lead them out of a house is by installing a one-way tube. They came away realizing that although bats sometimes carry disease and are messy, they also have good qualities. The event was so successful, the refuge hopes to have a bat festival next year. Maybe that’s a good lesson for all of us during these divisive times. Don’t make judgments about people we suspect are evil until we have all of the facts.

BANK, from 1A of its current location in 1909. Toombs is the third generation bank president. The fourth generation works for the bank as well. The bank has about 30 families who have used it for three generations including a few in their fourth generation. But, even with all the history, it was time to modernize. “We literally took everything down to the cinder blocks and rebuilt with all new stud walls, sheet rock, new electrical, data lines, all of that,â€? Toombs said. “We totally updated it. ‌ We wanted to make it more homey, more comfortable place to come.â€? The building was built well before anyone imagined the internet. “We didn’t have a very good Wi-Fi in here,â€? Toombs said. “This building was built in a time where the floors and walls were really thick.â€? The bank also added

BERGMAN, from 2A He also has family roots in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula — the area that he serves in Congress — that date to the late 1800s when his ancestors worked as iron miners. In 1998, he and his wife, Cindy, settled in the small town of Watersmeet, which is not far from the Wisconsin border. Bergman ran as a nonestablishment candidate in the district that is one of the country’s largest geographically. It takes in the entire Upper Peninsula and a large swath of counties in the mainland of northern Michigan. He entered the race in March 2016 and defeated two established politicians in an August Republican primary. He said it’s been a great experience, but there’s hard work to be done. “We have the greatest country in the world. We

They also didn’t need all those drive-through lanes anymore. At one point they had six lanes, but more people are banking online, so now they’re down to two. The drive-through lanes are now on the north

side of the bank, and the tellers are consolidated with the lobby. They turned two covered lanes into an outdoor seating area for employees to have lunch or take a break. It was the staging ground for last

week’s celebration, which featured pizza from Rosemount Carbone’s Pizza and Pub, and ice cream from Culver’s restaurant, two downtown neighbors. Toombs said it’s important for the company to use local businesses.

He said they used a local contractor, who also used local subcontractors, to complete the remodel. They hope it sets them up for another 100 years.

We don’t have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem. ‌ On the budget committee, we have some challenges with spending, we need to make sure we leave something especially for our grandkids other than debt.â€? Lewis said he appreciates the experience Bergman brings to the House with his military and business background. “You couldn’t think of a better resume,â€? Lewis said. He said Bergman holds a weekly meeting with a group of eight freshmen lawmakers to help develop friendships. Getting to know the other representatives has been one of the pleasant surprises of going to Washington, D.C., ac-

cording to Lewis. “That incoming class, they are the ones you are going to remember and know for the rest of your career more than anyone else,â€? Lewis said. Bergman said he has appreciated Lewis for his ability to take a complex problem and explain it so the average person can understand it. As for the perception that government is not working, Lewis said the House has passed 250 pieces of legislation that have been bogged down by the Senate. He said the House has passed a 2018 budget resolution, rolled back $3.7 billion worth of regulations and has approved 14 continuing resolution authorities that would fund various departments. “The point is we are committed to keep going,â€? Lewis said. “These minor setbacks are just that. ‌ The House is working hard. We have to

get our colleagues to have the same sense of urgency.� He said the first order of business after the weekend was for the House to finish the appropriations bill and complete its omnibus funding package.

After graduating from BHS, Bergman earned his bachelor’s degree from Gustavus Adolphus College and received a master’s in business administration from the University of West Florida. He was commissioned as a 2nd lieutenant in the Marine Corps Reserves and flew helicopters with squadrons based in North Carolina and Vietnam and was a flight instructor until he left active duty in 1975. He continued in the Reserve and held posts in Rhode Island, Illinois, New York, Kansas, California, Louisiana and Germany that included deputy commander, commander and chief of staff. In his civilian life, Bergman was a pilot of Northwest Airlines. He also started two business-

Church to create columbarium, garden A groundbreaking took place Aug. 26 at Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church for its new columbarium and memorial garden. The church has collaborated with Terraforma Design and Eickhof Columbariums to put together a plan for a sacred resting place where the cremains of loved ones can be interred. This fall construction will begin. Besides the columbarium there will also be a memorial garden for meditation and prayer. The Rev. Duane Paetznick said: “This columbarium and memorial garden is an expression of Christian faith and love. It honors the tradition of ancestors in the faith who believed in the burial of people close by the church where they had faithfully served and worshipped. With the changing trend from burial to cremation, Shepherd of the Valley has decided to continue that tradition with this endeavor. And now, this fall, our hopes and dreams will come to fruition.�

“When you own a business, it becomes another child. I impress on the staff that they need to help each other and take care of the customers.�

Karl Drotning: ‘I like people, I like cars, I like having fun‌’ BY SUE WEBBER CONTRIBUTING WRITER Karl Drotning said he started hanging around car repair shops in south Minneapolis when he was 9 years old. “They never kicked me out,â€? he said. “They started paying me cash to sort nuts and bolts and sweep the floor. I was moving cars around the shop when I was 14.â€? The hard worker had a paper route, and he also found his first real part-time job when he was 15. Prior to graduating from Washburn High School, Drotning pursued a variety of jobs: working in a drug store, stocking shelves and throwing out the trash at a grocery store, and vacuuming out cars at a gas station. “I was most interested in being a lawyer, but there was no way I was going to spend that much time in school,â€? he said. Instead, Drotning devoted his career to automotive care. “I hoped to have my own business by the time I was 30,â€? he said. “I got it when I was 36.â€? He first worked for 25 years at Lehman’s Garage at 54th and Lyndale avenues south in Minneapolis. “I had half a dozen surrogate dads in my life, and Fred Lehman was one of them,â€? Drotning said. “It’s all about relationships. Opportunities came to me when I started. Someone set the table for me. You hope if you do good things, things will work out. It’s back to karma.â€? “When I left Lehman’s, I was the lead collision department manager,â€? Drotning said.

on the staff that they need to help each other and take care of the customers. At the end of the day, the future of the business isn’t Karl or Jim. It’s people here taking care of the customers. We enable, embrace and coach them. Our role is to be teachers and coaches. “I get up every day excited to come here and play,� Drotning said. “I work to play. Work can be play. This is my playground and these are my playmates. I love what I do.�

CRYSTAL LAKE AUTOMOTIVE Since 1986, he has owned Crystal Lake Automotive in Lakeville. His business partner, Jim Siegfried, joined him in 1998. The business now has two locations and employs 42 people. “I am nothing without my business partner Jim Siegfried,� Drotning said. “I am salt to his pepper, or vice versa. His son, Michael Siegfried, manages our second location in Burnsville. Our general manager, Todd Mellgren, has been with us more than 20 years. Our service manager has been with us for 25 years, and we have techs who have been with us for more than 20 years.� Drotning’s son, Scott, a Lakeville volunteer firefighter for 20 years also works in the shop. Son-in-law Ron Zappetillo is co-manager of collision production. “It is their efforts and those of all other staff that make Crystal Lake Automotive, Inc. possible,� Drotning said.

KEEPING UP WITH THE TIMES The internet has changed things considerably in the car industry, he noted. “When I grew up, there were a lot of ‘car guys,’� he said. “Today, the general public’s understanding of cars is minimal. Today the car is viewed as you put the key in and you go. “The general public thinks car maintenance is changing the oil and making the car payment.�

OTHER VENTURES

Karl Drotning of Lakeville, owner of Crystal Lake Automotive, has devoted his life to automotive care. (Submitted photo) People today tend to “go to Mr. Fixit to get a quickie fix� for their car problems, according to Drotning. “They sell convenience; we’re by appointment only,� he said. In the ‘60s and ‘70s, Drotning said, cars that had 60,000 or 70,000 miles on them were considered worn out. But he owns a 2005 Chevrolet Suburban with 335,000 miles on it, and the tires, brakes and transmission have been well main-

tained. “It’s the company car,� he said. “I bought it used at 70,000 miles, and there’s nothing built today that I like better.� His business philosophy is simple: Treat the customers like employees and the employees like customers. “I went into the business because I really liked helping people,� Drotning said. “When you own a business, it becomes another child. I impress

Drotning, 67, has served on the Lakeville Planning Commission since 1998. “I love it,� he said. “You get a broader perspective, and you meet interesting people.� In his spare time, he enjoys boating, an RV, and “a bunch of old cars.� Drotning, who has three siblings, said his parents were both journalism majors at the University of Wisconsin. “My dad worked in public relations his whole life,� he said. “He was a personal secretary to two governors in Wisconsin, and he worked for Northwest Airlines.� His mother worked in internal communications for Control Data. Lakeville residents since 1979, Drotning and his wife have two children and six grandchildren. Retirement is not on his horizon, Drotning said. “I like people, I like cars, and I like having fun,� he said. “My goal is to stay here as long as I am providing value to the organization. This is my retirement.�

Art catches fire in Eagan

Engstrom chosen as coordinator at Dakota Ridge

Eagan Art House is home to Harvest of Art Celebration by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The air was filled with Dixieland music while members of the community browsed artwork, painted pottery and enjoyed refreshments, as Eagan Art House was home to the 12th annual Harvest of Art Celebration on Sunday. The event featured an art exhibit, art vendors, entertainment by the Selby Avenue Syncopators and artist demonstrations. Attendees could also create a work of art of their own by purchasing specially prepared ceramic pottery, painting it with glaze, and watching their artwork being finished in a kiln using the Raku technique. The pottery spent about 20 minutes heating in the gas kiln before being placed in a fire. “There was an immediate gratification, and it was an interactive piece of artwork,� said Julie Andersen, city of Eagan recreation supervisor. “Normally pottery takes much longer to produce.� It’s been a popular fixture to the Harvest of Art Celebration through the years. The “Welcome Home� art doors project was also on display. Area artists painted 10 doors to

commemorate Eagan Art House’s 20-year anniversary. “They painted them with the idea of expressing what was home to them,â€? Andersen said. “There was a common theme of Eagan being welcoming, close to nature, and part of a connected community. ‌ We believe at the Eagan Art House, we believe art opens doors for people.â€? To be selected for the door project, Bette Undis, Kelly Frankenberg, Mike Grenier and Juliet Parisi went through an application process last spring. Once approved, they created their works over the summer before going on display at the house last weekend. Those four pieces will be put on display at the Eagan Community Center and Eagan City Hall by the end of October. Six other doors were created by community members. The event served as a pickup location for Community Supported Art, which is in its second year. Those who purchased an art share at $175 were give six pieces of art from of various media created by area artists. The shares were nearly sold out, but there are some left and the next pickup will be at the Winter Art Sale from 9 a.m.-4

The Eagan Art House is located off Lexington Avenue and is surrounded by Patrick Eagan Park. What started with about 44 students 20 years ago now has more than 3,000. Overall the organization reaches more than 5,000 people who take classes and participate in special events at the Art House. It has a staff of 20 artists who provide yearround teaching in the visual arts, such as pottery,

painting, drawing and glasswork. It offers classes and workshops for nearly every age group from age 4 to 65-plus. The activity was made possible by the voters of Minnesota through grants from the Minnesota State Arts Board and the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.

Should seniors reinvent themselves? Guest column

... by Bob Ramsey There’s a movement afoot to encourage and empower seniors to reinvent themselves in the final third of life. Since longevity has been extended so that people are living well beyond the traditional retirement age, it is now almost possible to live more than once. That’s why many people over 60 are going back to school, seeking encore careers, becoming entrepreneurs by turning hobbies into businesses, rediscovering dormant interests or finding meaning

through volunteering. People are not just living longer; they are living actively, productively and meaningfully longer. So it’s only natural that we’re hearing a lot about older adults reinventing themselves in the image of what they always wanted to be and didn’t think they ever could become. Examples are everywhere. We hear stories of businessmen taking up art, retired military officers becoming teachers, sedentary seniors converted into athletes for the Senior Games, corporate executives working for non-profits and housewives entering politics. There’s a growing notion that seniors can do almost anything. And they are. If older adults need a little urging to try new things or redefine themselves, there is also a growing body of motivational literature to cheer them on. Recent publications include Marlo Thomas’ “It

it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Despite today’s exhortations, people shouldn’t change their lives just for change’s sake. Likewise, you shouldn’t force any unnecessary transformations; or change how you live and who you are to meet someone else’s expectations — only your own. Vital aging doesn’t always require reinvention, re-imagination or reincarnation. If you’re already adhering to Jonathan Swift’s ageless admonition, “May you live all the days of your life,� you’re OK! It’s difficult to re-imagine anything much better. Bob Ramsey is a lifelong educator, freelance writer and advocate for Vital Aging. He can be contacted by email at joyrammini@comcast.net.

I believe in making the most of our bonus years and finding new ways to live out our life with purpose and on purpose. But I’m beginning to wonder if society “doth protest too much.� Are we overselling makeovers? Should seniors feel guilty if they’re not pursuing some new persona? After all, not everyone needs to reinvent themselves. Many older folks are just fine the way they are. They’re already doing what they want to do and doing it their way. They’re being true to their values and living their joy. There is no law or cultural imperative saying you have to reinvent yourself if you don’t want to. If

Eagan man dies after crash on Highway 55 in Rosemount An Eagan man died following a collision along Highway 55 at about 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 6, in Rosemount. Clive Christian Jorgensen, 57, of Eagan, was driving his 2009 Ya-

maha RS motorcycle east on Highway 55 when he swerved to avoid a westbound box truck, driven by Murphy Antoine Cantrelle, 56, of Apple Valley, turning south onto County Road 42, accord-

ing to the Minnesota State Patrol. Jorgensen’s motorcycle collided head on with a Chevy Malibu, driven by Ralph Whitfield Ransom, 73, of Bloomington, that was traveling west on

Highway 55 in a bypass lane. The Malibu went into the right ditch and the motorcycle came to rest in the westbound lane. Jorgensen was not wearing a helmet. No one else was injured

in the collision, according to the state patrol. The drivers of the Malibu and box truck were both wearing seatbelts, along with Ransom’s passenger, Cheryl Jean Ransom, 70, of Bloomington, and al-

cohol was not involved as a factor for Cantrelle and Ransom. Whether or not alcohol was a factor for Jorgensen is unknown, according to the State Patrol.

Women who like to keep working: a journalist, and a pair of sisters BY SUE WEBBER CONTRIBUTING WRITER Women who identify a career goal early, never waver from their plan, and continue to modify and adapt to fit the times have become role models for those who enjoy working and see no need to retire. A journalist and an xray technician from Edina are two examples, as is a college professor from Minnetonka. Brucato, a native of Chicago and now a resident of Edina, has been a journalist, public relations consultant, and television news anchor. She is best known locally for her work as a TV anchorwoman at WCCOTV and KSTP-TV. In 1990, she became director of communications for the Minnesota Department of Transportation and then was communications director for Republican Norm Coleman. From 1991-96, she served as then-Gov. Arne Carlson’s press secretary and deputy chief-of-staff. Brucato left the governor’s office in 1996 to start a consulting business with her husband, Brian Halliday. But she returned to broadcasting in 2004 as a

principal anchor for evening newscasts at KSTPTV, a job that continued until 2010. Currently, Brucato is a video journalist and writer, hosting online broadcasts for Greater MSP Business. She also is a featured political reporter for minnpost.com, an online

A graduate of Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism, Brucato first worked as a reporter for the Lerner suburban newspaper chain, and then as a reporter and editor of the Chicago region EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) journalism. In 1975, she worked as a reporter for WBBM-TV in Chicago, and then reporter and anchorwoman for WDIO in Duluth. Brucato has received a Peabody Award for excellence in journalism and a national Emmy, and also was inducted into the Minnesota Broadcasting Hall of Fame. In her spare time, Brucato enjoys cooking. “When the weather allows, I’m learning to play tennis,� she said. She also finds pleasure in studying languages. “I’m fluent in French, and pretty good in Italian,� she said. She and her husband have two grown children and are expecting their first grandchild.

TOUR, from 1A support the ride. “We spent it all, and that was our goal� Sindt said. “We wanted to put everything into this community event. The community supports us as firefighters, and we want to give something to them.� The ride began in Kelley Park at 10 a.m. Bikers headed west on 153rd St. Signs and volunteers guided the riders around the city, and Apple Valley police kept the bikers safe by helping them cross major intersections such as Galaxie, Cedar and County Road 42. This year, the Tour included three routes. Participants looking to get in their workout for the day chose between a nine-mile demi-tour and 16-mile complete tour. All riders began together, but had an opportunity to stop for a snack part-way through the ride and decide if they wanted to continue on to the larger loop or head back to Kelley Park. Riders looking for a more family-friendly option followed firehouse mascot Sparky on a twomile ride around Kelley Park and the surrounding neighborhoods. At the conclusion of the ride, each participant received a medal. The Firefighters Relief Association raised enough money to close the event with a Mick Sterling and the Stud Brothers concert. Sterling and his 14-piece band section played after the ride from noon to 3 p.m. Hun-

gry bikers could purchase food and beverages from the Vivo Mobile Kitchen. Sindt said Le Tour de Apple Valley is more than bike ride. It is a chance for people to see the city in a new way. “There was a woman who said, ‘I’ve lived in Apple Valley for over 30 years and on this bike tour I saw things that I’d never seen before.’ � Sind said. “You can live in a community and not really know the whole thing. When you are in a car, you pass by things, but when you are on a bike you see and notice things.� Approximately 150 people participated in Saturday’s ride. HamannRoland, the second finisher of the complete tour, said she loved being able to go on a bike ride with the community, and she enjoyed the opportunity to see the city together. Sindt said he thought of the idea with his daughter because they noticed a lack of organized, noncompetitive biking events. “We didn’t put this together for bikers and triathletes,� Sindt said. “We put it together for regular people who like to ride a bike and see the community.� He has enjoyed watching the event grow over the past four years. He said he is most impressed by the way it has brought the community together. “It was really just firefighters the first year,� Sindt said. “Now, so many people I talk to say they are going to bike with their parent.

He said he wants

to keep the event free and open to all, and he considering incorporating prizes in the registration process. The Apple Valley Fire Department will continue to connect with the

Judith Jardine Stucki retired from a 33-year career as a math teacher at Wayzata High School and then became an adjunct teacher at Normandale Community College. She noted that community colleges need adjunct teachers because they never know what their enrollments will be. “I wasn’t really ready to retire,� Stucki said. “I lucked into a job at Normandale. I started part-time, and then liked it so much I worked full-time for five or six years. Now I’m back to part-time.� She explains her working this way: “I wanted to be retired, but I don’t want

to be done working,� she said. “I love teaching, and I love helping people. It’s wonderful to get to do some of each. So many of my friends have gone back to do some kind of work.� Stucki always knew she wanted to be a teacher, she said. “I loved doing it when I was young. In high school, I tutored friends who were struggling,� she said. Now, Stucki said, she enjoys traveling, golf, and playing pickle ball. She and her husband, 40-year residents of Minnetonka, have two children and eight grandchildren.

Sports Eagles go to 2-0 as defense makes a stand Kickoff return is big play for 4th-ranked Apple Valley by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Big plays by junior defensive back Damian Swanson near the end of the first and at the beginning of the second half kept the Apple Valley football team undefeated. His 100-yard kickoff return of the second-half kickoff produced the first points of the game – and the only points the Eagles needed – in a 14-0 victory at St. Thomas Academy last Friday. Swanson also kept STA off the scoreboard in the final minute of the first half by intercepting a pass at the Eagles’ 5-yard line. “He’s a very talented athlete, and he knew we had high expectations for him,” Apple Valley coach Chad Clendening said of Swanson. “We saw at times last year what he was capable of doing. “This year he knows he’s a key player for us, and it shows in the way he prepares for games.”

Apple Valley defensive back Josh Arnold returns an interception in the Eagles’ season-opening victory over Hopkins. Apple Valley is 2-0 after defeating St. Thomas Academy 14-0 last Friday. The Eagles (2-0), who were fourth in last week’s Associated Press state Class 5A rankings, might move up after shutting out STA on the Cadets’ home field. The Eagles held STA to 143 yards. “We didn’t let them have many explosive plays of 15 yards or more,” Clendening said. “That was really

a team effort. We had a good effort from our linemen, and our linebackers and defensive backs made the tackles.” Apple Valley’s second touchdown came in the third quarter on a 2-yard run by quarterback Tyler Cardella, who also led his team in rushing with 64 yards on 12 carries. Cardella completed eight of 18 passes for 59 yards. Nathan Macho had three catches for 47 yards and Luke Martens, working his way back into the lineup after missing the season opener against Hopkins because of an injury, caught one pass for 16 yards. The threat of the Eagles throwing to their two big, athletic receivers kept St. Thomas from stacking the line of scrimmage to stop Apple Valley’s running game. “Our offensive staff also did a great job at halftime with some adjustments,” Clendening said. “We spread out St. Thomas more in the second half, and that made it easier for us to run the ball. I think our identity is going to be as a team that runs the ball first, but it really helps to have two big receivers

Lightning boys remain undefeated Soccer team displays balanced scoring by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Farmington and Eastview went into their game last week as the only two undefeated boys soccer teams in the South Suburban Conference. They both came out of it as the conference’s only two undefeated teams. While the 1-1 tie on Sept. 7 might not have settled much in the league standings, it did show Eastview coach Scott Gustafson that the Lightning is on the right path toward being a factor in next month’s section playoffs. Farmington goalie Zach Berg made 14 saves, several of them spectacular, in Gustafson’s opinion. “Their goalie is a great athlete and had an outstanding game,” Gustafson said. “I think we would have had five on the board against them if not for the play of their goalie. We were a little unlucky.” On Tuesday, Farmington defeated Apple Valley 2-0 and is 6-0-2 overall, 1-0-1 in the conference.

Eastview was 4-0-3 overall and 1-0-1 in the league after defeating Shakopee 1-0 in overtime. The Tigers and Lightning are the only SSC teams yet to lose inside or outside the conference. However, defending SSC champion Lakeville North currently leads the league with a 3-0 record in conference games. The Panthers, 4-1-1 overall, lost to Rochester Mayo in a nonleague game in August. Eastview and Farmington scored in the second half of their Sept. 7 game, with Zack Aday finding the net for the Lightning and Cristian Collazo scoring for the Tigers. The Lightning ran their unbeaten streak to seven games with Tuesday’s victory at Shakopee, where senior forward Noah Ambroz scored in overtime. After allowing four goals in its first two games, Eastview shut out four of its next five opponents. “It’s not just our goalkeeper and defenders — that’s our entire team being committed to playing better defense,” Gustafson said. Senior forward Zack Aday-Nicholson leads the

Lightning with six goals (including four in a 7-0 victory over Richfield on Saturday) and is one of nine Lightning players who have scored at least once. “That’s been one of the things I’ve been pleased with,” Gustafson said. “Our scoring has been balanced. We don’t have one player who’s doing all the scoring, we have seven or eight.” The Lightning has also been able to stay unbeaten in the preseason without starting center midfielder Dylan Chanthalakeo, who broke his arm in preseason training. Eastview is hoping to have Chanthalakeo back for its Section 3AA playoff push. Eastview played in the state Class AA championship game three consecutive years, from 2011 to 2013, winning the 2012 Class AA title. But the team hasn’t been back to the state tourney since 2013. “Our seniors haven’t been as successful in the playoffs as they would have liked, and it’s something they want to change this year,” Gustafson said.

who can go up and get the ball.” After building their lead to two scores, the Eagles left it to their stingy, opportunistic defense. In addition to Swanson’s first-half interception, the defense recovered three STA fumbles in the second half. Apple Valley (20) has allowed just seven points so far this season, and those came in the fourth quarter of a game against Hopkins that the Eagles already had well in hand. Linebacker Jackson Green led the defense with nine tackles against St. Thomas. Senior lineman Spencer Rolland had eight tackles. Sophomore Tony Anger made six stops. Eagles senior captain Kellan McKeag rushed for 62 yards on offense and made five tackles on defense. There still are six games remaining in the regular season, but Apple Valley’s victory over STA could be significant for playoff seeding as they are two of the six teams in Class 5A, Section 3. The other teams in the section are Bloomington Kennedy, Park of Cottage Grove, Hastings

and Henry Sibley, and the Eagles will see them all before the regular season ends. Next up for Apple Valley is a road game at Bloomington Jefferson at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 15. Jefferson (0-2) has been outscored 84-34 in losses to Orono and Chanhassen. “They have some good athletes, especially their quarterback (Isaiah Watts),” Clendening said. “The key for us, like it was against St. Thomas, is to keep them from getting a lot of big plays. We’d like to be able to get out in front and control the clock with our running game.”

Burnsville 12 Eastview 7

head coach Tyler Krebs – at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 15. Shepley completed six of 12 passes for 130 yards, including touchdown passes of 7 and 14 yards to Tester. Tester caught three passes for 31 yards, and Shepley also had long completions to Marquel Brooks (50 yards) and Levi Gutierrez (42 yards). Eastview quarterback Zach Selchow threw a 36yard touchdown pass to Quintcy Suggs in the third quarter to cut Burnsville’s lead. Suggs also rushed for 57 yards on eight carries. Selchow completed 11 of 24 passes for 158 yards. Larry Wright had three catches for 55 yards and tight end Mohamed Mahmoud also had three catches. After losses on the road in its first two games, Eastview seeks its first victory in its home opener at 7 p.m. Friday against Shakopee.

Notebook: SSC teams stand out in weekend tournaments by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

South Suburban Conference teams occupied five of the top eight spots in this week’s state Class 3A volleyball rankings, which shouldn’t be a surprise after last weekend’s tournament results. In the two highest-profile events – the Shakopee Invitational and Southwest Minnesota Challenge in Marshall – SSC teams played each other for the championship. No. 1-ranked Eagan, coming off victories in two five-set thrillers against Stillwater and East Ridge, flew through the Shakopee tournament without dropping a game. The Wildcats (8-1) defeated seventh-ranked Shakopee 2522, 25-9 in the championship match. The Southwest Minnesota Challenge featured the two Lakeville teams in the final, with No. 2-ranked North defeating eighth-ranked South 25-18, 2512. North’s Elizabeth Juhnke had 14 kills and just one error in the final. Halle Wolfe had nine digs for the Panthers (9-0). Lakeville South defeated fifth-ranked Prior Lake 25-21, 25-23 in the semifinals as Jasmine Mulvihill had seven kills, Nichole Banitt had six and Camryn Strong had five. In case you’re wondering when Eagan and Lakeville

North play each other, they will have a conference match Oct. 3 at Eagan. It’s also possible they will meet in the Eagle Invitational Sept. 22-23 at Apple Valley High School. The five SSC teams in the Class 3A top 10 will be at the Eagle Invitational, as will third-ranked Champlin Park and sixth-ranked Hopkins. Lakeville South didn’t let its loss to North in the Southwest Minnesota Challenge linger. On Tuesday, the Cougars knocked off Eagan in five sets in a South Suburban Conference match, winning the decisive set 17-15. It was the first time the teams had met since the 2016 state Class 3A semifinals, when Eagan won in straight sets. Rosemount went 3-1 in the Shakopee Invitational, defeating Bethlehem Academy, Mankato East and Forest Lake and losing to Shakopee. The Irish were 6-1 going into this week’s matches. Farmington went 2-2 in the North St. Paul Invitational and will play host to Rosemount and 14 other teams in its invitational Saturday at Farmington High School.

Kampf 7th in 5th Avenue Mile Just because she has taken over as Apple Valley head girls cross country coach doesn’t mean Heather (Dorniden) Kampf has ended her own run-

ning career. On Sunday she finished seventh in the women’s race at the 5th Avenue Mile in New York City. She noted on her Twitter account (@HeatherRaeKampf) that she was within one second of her 1-mile personal record, set at last year’s 5th Avenue Mile, even though she dropped four spots from her 2016 finish there. Kampf, a state high school champion for Rosemount and NCAA indoor champion at Minnesota, has won 26 road mile races since 2011.

Applejack Invitational An annual Minnesota cross country tradition, the Applejack Invitational, will have its 52nd edition Saturday at Aronson Park in Lakeville. Eight high school races will take place starting with the 3,200-meter girls C race at 10 a.m. The 5,000-meter boys and girls varsity races will be noon and 12:30 p.m. A children’s fun run will be at 1:40 p.m., followed by the awards ceremony at 2. The Aronson Park course is relatively flat, which can lend itself to fast times. In the 2016 meet Farmington’s Anna Fenske won the girls varsity race in 18 minutes, 26.16 seconds. Her teammate, Lauren Peterson, finished second; Fenske and Peterson went on to finish first and second in the state Class AA meet.

Lakeville South sophomore Brianne Brewster also is among the top returning runners. Shakopee is scheduled to defend its 2016 girls team championship. Minnetonka will not be back to defend its boys team championship, but 2016 runner-up Eagan is in the field. The Wildcats’ Trenton Allen finished fifth in the 2016 race. Concessions will be available at Aronson Park. For more information about the meet, including parking instructions, visit www.lnhspanthers.com/ applejack.

Rhoda’s the starter

time Rhoda has started for the Gophers. He took over for the injured Mitch Leidner during a 31-10 victory at Maryland in the 2016 season, and was the first quarterback on the field for the Gophers in their first two games this season.

FHS Hall of Fame Farmington High School inducted Lisa (Dingman) Lippold, Trey Davis and Mark Froehling into its athletic hall of fame Saturday. Lippold currently is boys cross country coach at Farmington. She graduated from FHS in 1999, having competed in state meets in cross country and track and field. Davis was named Farmington’s male athlete of the year in 2007 after a standout career in football and track and field. He went on to compete in both sports at the University of Minnesota. Davis was one of the top players from Froehling’s 15-year run as the Tigers’ head football coach. Farmington won five Missota Conference championships and made two state playoff appearances during his tenure. His Tigers teams went 82-66 overall before he retired from coaching in 2014.

Conor Rhoda, a senior from Eagan, was named starting quarterback for the University of Minnesota football team’s game Saturday against Middle Tennessee at 2:30 p.m. at TCF Bank Stadium. Rhoda, who played high school football at Cretin-Derham Hall, had been sharing time at quarterback with Demry Croft. Last week he completed seven of eight passes for 158 yards and one touchdown as the Gophers routed Oregon State 48-14.

FURNITURE, from 1A space formerly occupied by Valley Girl Espresso Bar. “Actually, a lot of the plans for our store were made here when it was a coffee shop,” Donahue said. “We’d meet here in the morning and figure out what the next game plan was going to be.” Since the opening of the store, many things have changed. It is a smaller space than the old store, forcing the sisters to rent off-site warehouse space. “We went from being a big painted furniture warehouse to an upscale home-decor store,” Peltz said. “We’ve come a long way.” Although there is no room for painting classes, Peltz said she will teach classes at the new warehouse upon request. The sisters also divide their work a little differently. Although they originally thought they’d be able to create all the pieces sold in the store, they soon realized they needed help. To meet the high demand, Donahue learned to paint. Although she still takes care of all the business-oriPARK, from 1A grants, park dedication funds and the development itself. Park funds from the 2007 bond alone have provide this project

ented details, she’s learned a thing or two from her sister about the details of painting furniture. “I’m a painter, Peltz is an artist,” Donahue said. The sisters also purchase pieces from vendors. Donahue said the quality of their pieces also sets them apart. They said they are not “funky junk” — customers won’t find lamps made out of bedsprings or dog beds made out of suitcases. Instead, they will find furniture that has been given a second life. Donahue vets each piece of furniture vendors bring into the store. It is important to her that every piece look as good in person as it does in the photographs they post on Facebook to advertise. “If we don’t like it, if the painting isn’t up to our standards, if it is a strange color that no one is ever going to buy, we just say no to it,” Donahue said. After the sisters select the furniture, Susan Kowalke, Next Act’s main stager, arranges the pieces. Rather than placing each vendor’s work in a rentedout section of the store, Kowalke places everyone’s

work in the same room, allowing the artist’s styles to complement one another. Their biggest challenge is meeting demand. Today, Next Act has over 9,000 followers on Facebook. The sisters said their store is a destination stop for people from all over the country who are visiting the metro area. On average, they sell between 30 and 50 pieces a weekend. “We have people that we want to give a sign that says ‘Home by Next Act,’ because every room in their house has a piece from us,” Donahue said. The sisters said the most rewarding part of owning Next Act has been taking it from nothing to something. Donahue said she enjoys the personal relationships that have come out of her work — something she felt her work in the corporate world had been lacking. “The other day I painted an entire bedroom set for a family. She hugged me three times before she left,” Donahue said. “And I looked at my husband and said, ‘That’s totally worth it.’ You know, you are appreciated for what

you do. You are creating somebody’s home.” Peltz said closing Fabric Town opened doors to a new beginning. “I love that I haven’t lost contact with the customers from my store. They are now Next Act customers,” Peltz said. “In fact, our grand opening was 95 percent Fabric Town. And their word-ofmouth helped spread our name.” The sisters say a little wine and a lot of determination are their tips for success. “Have faith in yourself,” Donahue said. “There were days we didn’t know how we were going to keep the electricity on. But, somehow, it works — if you’re heart’s in it.” To celebrate six successful years, Next Act will host an open house Saturday, Oct. 14. The sisters invite customers to visit the store between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. for refreshments, prizes and special sales. Each Tuesday, the sisters post pictures of the furniture in the store on Next Act’s Facebook page. To see the pictures, or for

with $350,000. The park will have a different vibe from others in Apple Valley, which Adamini said justifies the resources needed to complete the project.

“I think it is a really unique setting,” Adamini said. “This is more of a passive type of park for passive recreation. It is for walking, and it has the exercise station. This picnic

venue will be able to accommodate larger family reunions, maybe corporate picnics, things like that.” Adamini said the restroom and pavilion should be completed within the

next few months. Next spring, Adamini’s team will finish landscaping and finishing touches at the park so that it will be completed by summer 2018. The park is located at

15601 Cobblestone Lake Parkway, Apple Valley, and is open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.

SUN THISWEEK - Apple Valley September 15, 2017 19A

Thisweekend Rural electric to be History Talks’ topic The Rosemount Area Historical Society will be offering the first of the fall series of Rosemount History Talks, “The Road To Rural Electric,� at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 21, at the Rosemount Robert Trail Library. The talk by historical Society member Gish Devlaminck will recount how electricity was put into the Village of Rosemount in 1915. The pillar of Rosemount’s economy, the farmers in the surrounding area did not get electricity until 1938. Life in a farm house without electricity involved much more work than in a similar house in the village, with the big hitter being the lack of indoor plumbing. The talk starts with a brief early history of electric distribution and why it stopped at the edge of town instead of continuing out to the farms. Even though farmers did not have electricity supplied by an electric utility they found other ways to bring electricity to the farm. In 1923, University of Minnesota professor E. A. Stewart conducted a study “To determine the optimum economic uses of electricity in agriculture and to study the value of electricity in improved living conditions on the farm.� This project was the model for 23 other states that followed with similar studies. It involved nine farms just down the road from Rosemount. This study and those in other states eventually led to the formation of the Rural Electric Administration (REA) by President Franklin Roosevelt when he signed Executive Order 7037. The forma-

theater and arts briefs tion of REA provided the financial resources needed to develop the technology to economically distribute electricity in sparsely populated rural areas and to create electric co-ops like Dakota Electric Association. The talk focuses on how these changes impacted the farms in the Rosemount area and region covered by Dakota Electric. These talks have been very popular over the years and the society has had to repeat some of them because of overflow crowds, organizers said.
