Covered with silt and other debris and in need of patching, the western segment of Black Dog Road has remained closed since floodwaters receded in early April.
City looks at new access to power plant that road was built to serve by John Gessner
BURNSVILLE
THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
This year’s spring flooding along the Minnesota River left Burnsville’s Black Dog Road under water again. Receding floodwaters left the usual brush and driftwood debris but also piles of silt, some 3 feet high. City crews spent two weeks and $20,000 on bituminous material patching the eastern segment of the 3.7-mile road, from Xcel Energy’s Black Dog Generating Plant to the Eagan border at Cedar Avenue.
On the western segment, from the plant to Interstate 35W, road patching and removal of 3,000 to 5,000 tons of silt could cost $200,000, city officials estimate. They’ve had enough. Last month, the City Council launched plans to abandon the road and build a new access road to the Black Dog plant. The city is beginning an assessment See Black Dog, 5A
In honor of the city’s 150th anniversary, Eagan’s July 4th Funfest has added an extra day of fun and some new events to the celebration on July 2-4 at the Eagan Community Center Festival Grounds. The July 4th Funfest event began 44 years ago as a children’s bicycle parade, said Cory Hilden, secretary of the Funfest Committee. “Back in the beginning, that’s all it was,� she said. This year, the event will return to its roots and again feature a bicycle parade, where children of all ages can decorate their bikes and be part of the procession at noon Sunday, July 4. Other new events include a Patriots Pancake Breakfast, held from 7 a.m. to noon Sunday, July 4, at the Eagan Community Center, and reenactments by the Old West Society each evening July 2-4. The festival kicks off Friday, July 2, with the carnival

and food booths that run from 4 p.m. to midnight and will feature new thrill rides aimed at pleasing the teenage crowd, Hilden said. The event has also attracted more vendors than usual this year, with about 50 booths featuring goods from jewelry and crafts to home improvement and wellness items. “We typically get about 25 vendors, but this year they just kept coming,� she said. “Every year we’re growing just a little bit.� A free Texas Hold ’em Tournament will be held from 6 to 10 p.m., and the Funfest concert will feature Jacob Martin from 8 p.m. to midnight. The annual Funfest parade will begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday, July 3. The route begins at Yankee Doodle and Blue Cross roads and heads east on Yankee Doodle and See Funfest, 5A

Tom and Marlene Majeski are opposed to Dakota County’s new 150-foot water setback rules, which would ban them from entering about half their 14-acre property, on which they spent years taming back thick brush, as shown on the right.
DAKOTA COUNTY on his land, it would comprise about half of their 14acre property. “I’d have to virtually abandon eight acres of my property if I let my daughter build a house,” Majeski said. “This is significantly affecting my life.” He said all the land he’s worked so hard to maintain and use would quickly return to wild, thick brush. According to Minnesota Property Rights Watch (www.mnpropertyrightswatch.org), a Farmington organization focused on the issue, rural governments in Dakota County have recently been required to adopt the new buffer standards or they would lose their permitting authority. All Dakota County townships except Eureka adopted the standards. “We’re concerned about property rights,” said Eureka Town Board Chair Brian Budenski. “We haven’t approved it because it’s too restrictive.” So far, the township has retained its permitting authority. But County Commissioner Joe Harris, a member of the Vermillion River Watershed District Joint Powers Board, said the rules are needed to protect rivers,

lakes and streams. Harris credited the Majeskis for being good stewards of the land, but said if the rules are bent for some people, it will set a precedent for others to seek the same kind of exemptions. “I see it every day. People build in the flood plain, their home and buildings are washed down the river and we as taxpayers have to turn around and pay for it again,” Harris said. He added that federal rules and regulations on properties in the flood plain have been in place for decades. “Their so-called property rights were taken away a long time ago by the federal and state governments,” Harris said. According to meeting minutes of a May 2009 public hearing in Eureka Township, numerous residents spoke out against the rules, including Mark Parranto of Lakeville. He called the ordinance “the single largest power land grab by an unelected body that he has ever seen.” Scott County Commissioner Tom Wolf, also a Vermillion River Watershed District Joint Powers Board member, said in some cases the rules may be too restrictive and they should seek a variance. “I’m supportive of (the rule), but if someone has extenuating circumstances … like if it renders your land completely worthless, then we need to revisit the rule,” Wolf said. However, he added that people should be discouraged from building in the flood plain, noting that some areas in the flood plain may appear dry during parts of the year, but at snow melt or after a significant rainfall, flooding can occur.

ONE OF TOP 5 IN U.S.
Tom and Marlene Majeski spent years clearing thick brush around the Vermillion River that meanders through their eastern Dakota County yard. The result is a picturesque and manicured setting that they often enjoy for walks, entertainment and recreation. But the couple is concerned about losing their property rights due to new Vermillion River watershed rules that mandate restrictive and permanent buffer zones around bodies of water. The rules are triggered if they follow through with their desire to split two acres off their 14-acre Vermillion Township property so their daughter and son-in-law can build a home there. Under the new watershed rules, a lot split would mandate a 300-foot wide buffer zone (about 150 feet on each side of the river) that permanently restricts their access to their property, similar to a conservation easement, but without compensation. The property owner also must pay numerous costs for following the mandates, including inspection and monitoring, erosion and sediment control, buffer strip landscaping in accordance with the rules, and the cost of remedying damage resulting from noncompliance with the permit or rules. With local government approval, property owners may use a 10-foot strip of land to periodically access and maintain native vegetation in the buffer zone. To clear, grade or seed the buffer area, property owners would first need an approved Wetland Replacement Plan or an approved Stream Restoration Plan. Tom Majeski said if the buffer zone were established

Selection for DCC leader delayed Schedule conflicts push choice for 911 call center executive director to July 7 DAKOTA COUNTY
THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
The Dakota Communications Center Executive Committee aimed to have the 911 call center’s new director in place by now, but the added time will result in a more informed decision. The committee had hoped to name a successor for Executive Director Kent Therkelsen at its June 17 meeting, but it appears that selection will be made July 7. The selection would be forwarded to the DCC Board of Directors for consideration at its July 15 meeting when it will be made public. At that meeting, the board could abide by the recommendation, select another candidate or restart the process.
Scheduling conflicts in setting meeting times with the finalists to conduct a leadership assessment and background checks analysis are the main reasons for the delay. Therkelsen’s last day on the job was June 30. He announced his retirement last year. He said the interim director will be Lakeville resident Diane Lind – current DCC operations director and one of the three finalists. The other two are: Russell Sinkler, a Rosemount resident who was director of Minneapolis’ emergency communications center from 1981 to 1984, and now is a senior client business executive at an Eden Prairie communications firm.
John Dejung, a public safety communications director in Madison, Wis., and former director of 911/311 in Minneapolis until May 2009. Therkelsen is confident the transition time with Lind at the helm for a week and whoever is the permanent replacement will be smooth. He said he had much time to prepare a transition outline for his successor. Therkelsen said Lind has worked with him side-byside in preparation for the DCC opening in 2007 and since that time. He has said the next director would be responsible for overseeing the DCC’s move into next-generation 911, which will focus on improving system operations as more people use wireless phones to make emergency
calls. Therkelsen will be entering the business world with the newly incorporated Kent Therkelsen and Associates. His first client is the city of Minnetonka. He’s subcontracted with Springstead Inc. to help the city plan for future public safety needs.

Opinion Thisweek Columnist A moderate Republican reminds us of better days by Larry Werner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
It might not be intentional, but Ed Kearney, president of the Apple Valley Chamber of Commerce, has been bringing some controversial speakers to membership lunches at Enjoy! restaurant. A few months back, former state Sen. Dick Day entertained the faithful with the message he’s delivering in his new position as lobbyist for a racino at Canterbury Park racetrack. Day believes a little more gambling is the answer to the state’s budget deficits. And last week at Enjoy!, Ed introduced a speaker who is bold enough to argue that moderation is what we need in these polarized times. We heard from a former Republican governor that it will probably take a combination of taxes and expense reductions to get our state out of the mess it’s
in. Former Gov. Arne Carlson unloaded on the Legislature in general, on Democrats for their eagerness to raise taxes and – most energetically – on his own Republican Party for its knee-jerk reluctance to deal with a budget deficit that has put Minnesota in a financial crisis. Carlson, as some of you might recall, was elected our 37th governor in 1990 and re-elected in 1994. He was known as a moderate who spoke his mind as governor and previously as state auditor and as a legislator. Over the past year or so, he has been highly critical of Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty for not facing up to the state’s deficits by doing such things as borrowing from the schools, making accounting shifts and closing his mind to any new taxes to deal with billions in deficits that will face the next Legislature.
But his fundamental message was that the current political system is dysfunctional in that it leaves no room for finding common ground. Carlson could have talked about the way he worked with Democrats to solve a state financial crisis or other problems when he was governor. But he chose to recall that Democratic President John F. Kennedy sought advice from his Republican predecessor, Dwight D. Eisenhower, when he was dealing with the Cuban Missile Crisis in the 1960s. What we need in Minnesota and in our nation, Carlson said, are leaders who have “a moral compass,” not political rhetoric that “demonizes individuals” rather than seeking solutions. “We are not attracting the best and the brightest to public service,” Carlson said. “Demonize the messenger. Trivialize the issues.” Making it clear that Pawlenty,
who shares his political party, is among his targets, Carlson said: “Postponing the tough decisions is not political leadership.” He cited the cooperation between Democratic President Bill Clinton and Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich as another example of the type of collaboration that’s needed today both nationally and in our state. These comments from the Republican former governor reminded me of governors who led my home state of Michigan when I was growing up there. Moderate Republicans William Milliken and George Romney, father of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, worked with Democrats in a state, like Minnesota, dominated by Democrats. But as we head into another gubernatorial election, we have a campaign shaping up between Tom Emmer, an extreme right Republican, and one of three very liberal Democrats – Mark Day-
ton, Margaret Anderson Kelliher and Matt Entenza. And our governor, who kicked the budget issue to the next governor and Legislature, has taken his no-taxes message and anti-Democratic rhetoric to the national stage as he runs for the Republican nomination for president. Forgive me if I felt a tinge of nostalgia while listening to our former Republican governor counsel leaders to find common ground. “We have to emphasize the courage to do right, not to be the agent of our own ambition,” Carlson said. “History has rewarded those who have made the tough choices.” Larry Werner is editor and general manager of Thisweek Newspapers and the Dakota County Tribune.

Letters Doll, Morgan work hard for our cities To the editor: Last week a letter was critical of state Sen. John Doll and Rep. Will Morgan for not supporting a bill that included a proposed tax increase on wealthy taxpayers. The letter’s writer took the position that because the two have “Democrat” as their party affiliation, there is no way they could possibly vote on an issue in an unbiased manner. I for one am glad that Doll and Morgan don’t believe in trying to legislate from a single side of the aisle. They understand that their responsibility is to do what is in the best interests of the people of this district, and not act on a set of talking points. If that means that a certain tax increase may not be appropriate, or that a certain expense may not be sustainable, then it is their duty to try to come to the decision that is right for the people that they represent. “Democrat” or “Republican” should not be the determinant when making that decision. The letter’s writer also discusses the gas tax that was passed under Doll and Morgan’s term. Well, that 8-cent per gallon gas tax has hurt my pocket a lot less than the much larger property tax increases that were forced down to cities because of a certain governor’s blind adherence to a “no new taxes” dogma. (Did we mention that the governor in question is a Republican, part of the party that supposedly, as the writer so strongly emphasized “will not raise your taxes”? How’s that for irony?) As I live in Bloomington and work in Burnsville, I read both cities’ newspapers and follow especially Doll, not only because he is my
state senator, but because both he and Morgan have worked hard for our cities and for a better Minnesota. They don’t deserve the negativity. I would rather have legislators vote for or against things because they make sense, not because it follows a rigid party platform. Doll and Morgan appear to be doing that. Can the Republicans, with their “party of ‘No’ ” philosophy, say the same thing? MOMOJAH LANSANA Bloomington

Eagan Art Festival attracts 6,000-plus Economy is turning To the editor: On behalf of the Dakota around under Center for the Arts Board, President Obama I would like to thank our Eagan community for supporting the 16th annual Eagan Art Festival held on June 26 and 27 at Eagan Central Park. We had more than 95 juried artists exhibiting their art for purchase and great food and entertainment throughout the event, serving over 6,000 people. I would like to thank our many sponsors for their support of this event, as well as the news media for their work in making our community viewers aware of the festival. Thank you to the artists who volunteered to judge the event. Congratulations to our 2010 Award Winners including five honorable mentions and Best of Show – Vanessa Greene, Pottery; Award of Excellence – Joel Cole, Wood Carving; Award of Merit – Olga Krasovska, Painting; and Best Display Award – Debb Morgan, Mixed Media. We would also like to thank those who donated food items to the Eagan Resource Center, surpassing their goal of collecting 150,000 pounds of food
To the editor: A recent writer suggested “revisionists” are at work; government spending during the Depression didn’t work. He claims Roosevelt’s treasury secretary said unemployment of 24.9 percent in 1933 was the same eight years later. Yes, unemployment was 24.9 percent in 1933, yet fell to 14 percent in 1939. Do the math … he was wrong; his own figures show it was cut almost in half … despite the additional devastation of the Dust Bowl. Our economy is responding to the stimulus. With each economic incentive the results have been positive: boosted car, appliance, and housing sales. The Dow climbed from 6,500 to over 11,000 during President Obama’s first year in office. The jobless rate is down, with job losses at their lowest levels in years. The economy is growing. Some suggest the recession ended months ago. Anyone who understands economics knows that job growth always trails economic growth. Many companies

are making good returns this year. Great Depression history demonstrates that government spending was responsible for reducing the damage of the economic slump, keeping the economy moving until the war spending took off. Those against big deficits should have said something when President George W. Bush added $6 trillion to the national debt, plus another $3 trillion from his father’s presidency and President Reagan. Obama inherited one of the worst economies in the last 100 years … and there are many signs that things are coming back. Stop spreading myths that stimulus and government spending aren’t helping. If you want to reduce deficit spending, address the military and two wars; see if you can cut 20 percent, or $200 billion. That would pay for our health care, while reducing federal spending. We don’t need 800 bases around the world. Afghanistan’s GDP is now $10 billion – we could theoretically buy that entire country for less than the cost of the war. We all want a lower national debt. Let’s reduce wasteful spending and raise revenue by asking those who can most afford it to help out during this economic disaster. We all benefit from a common effort, where everyone is involved in making things better. JANICE SLAMA Eagan
Obermueller supports business community To the editor: State Rep. Mike Obermueller, DFL-Eagan, has toured our small business. We are fortunate to have someone with Obermueller’s experience working for us in St. Paul. He always inquires as to the resources needed to grow jobs in Minnesota. We ask Obermueller for quality education, good transit, infrastructure,
roads and honesty. The price of doing good business is the cost of these resources. Obermueller works on solving problems by engaging everyone in the solution. He seeks consensus and resolves issues for the best possible outcome for everyone involved. This isn’t being partisan, it’s being responsible. The independent voters of Eagan who are represented by Obermueller should be deeply offended by his opponent and his supporters who don’t even bother to get the most basic fact surrounding this issue correct: H.F. 2781 referenced in a June 25 letter actually made it so employees who commit egregious misconduct did “not” get benefits. Another honest fact is that Obermueller personally removed this provision to work with others on finding consensus language. I will support the candidate who is honest and open. BETTY FEDDE Eagan
Doll is the kind of representative we need in Minnesota To the editor: For the past several years our community, state and nation has been crying out for representatives who will work to end the polarization and get some work done; candidates that hail from the ranks of the everyday citizen, leaders who will be thoughtful and independent seeking good ideas no matter where they come from. In Burnsville we elected that person in 2006. His name is John Doll. Doll is creative, intelligent, and hard working. As a home improvement contractor, he knows the meaning of a hard-earned dollar. He also has a character trait missing in so many of our elected officials: common sense. A real look (not one filtered for political talking
points) at Doll’s voting record shows it is clear that he votes for the proposals that are for the greater good of our community. He is not afraid to challenge his caucus or vote in favor of a good idea offered by the other side. He is the type of state senator we have been asking to come forward for years. With four years in office, you can see the results of his work, the style of his leadership and the true family values he embraces. I encourage all Burnsville residents to reject the diatribes of some in our community who are locked into old and divisive modes of thinking and get to really know our state senator. He is very approachable. I have found him to be genuine, thoughtful and independent; the kind of person we have been saying we want to represent our district. KAREN I. FARBER Burnsville
To all of our veterans To the editor: A while ago, I attended the Flying Blue Angels performance in Eau Claire, Wis. It was awesome to watch such talented pilots. While I was there, I noticed a man wearing a vest that indicated he was a Vietnam veteran holding a child’s hand. I wasn’t quite sure what I was going to say when I approached him, but I knew the only thing I could say was “thank you.” As I shook his hand and looked into his eyes, I saw a tear which reflected the one in mine. Thank you, sir, for putting your life on the line in a war so many didn’t believe in. And when you returned from the hell you experienced I know you did not receive the proper respect and appreciation that you and so many other veterans deserved. I am very sorry for that. I was around during that time and lost two friends of our family in that war. It touched me deeply. See Letter, 6A

Funfest/from 1A north on Central Parkway to finish at the Eagan Community Center. The grand marshals of this year’s parade are residents Martin DesLauriers – the city’s first police chief – Don Chapdelaine, and Don Holz, who are all descendents of Eagan’s founding families going back to the 1860s. Volunteers are hoping to collect a record amount of food donations for local food shelves during the parade to help the city reach its goal of collecting 300,000 pounds of food by year’s end. “We’ve enjoyed some great success already with
our food drive and can’t wait to see how much food we can collect during the Funfest parade on July 3,� said Scott Swenson, chair of the 150th Anniversary Advisory Board. Donations will be collected before and during the parade, and food may also be dropped off at a donation site on the festival grounds July 2-4. The carnival and food booths will be open from noon to midnight on July 3, and the day’s celebration will also include a martial arts performance, the Brain Freeze Contest, children’s games, re-enactments from the Old West Society at 1:30 and 6 p.m., and a concert featuring Mick Sterling
since floodwaters receded in early April. The city, which has no immediate plans to clean up and fix the segment, has gotten a few complaint calls from people who live in Eagan and use Black Dog as a shortcut to work in Bloomington, Osmundson said. In the winter, the twolane road is inconvenient for snowplows that must use the freeway or go through Eagan to get there, he said. “And every two or three years it goes under water and we have to clean it up and patch it, and it’s just not a real good road to start with,� Osmundson said. from 2 to 4 p.m. A free Texas Hold ’em Tournament will be held from 6 to 10 p.m., performances by Pat Peare School of Dance will be held from 4 to 5:30 p.m., and Brat Pack Radio will perform from 8 p.m. to midnight. The American Red Cross will also hold a blood drive at the Community Center from 2 to 7 p.m. Sunday, July 4, will feature the Patriot’s Pancake Breakfast, the carnival from 10 a.m. to midnight, the children’s bike parade at noon, a martial arts performance at 12:30 p.m., and a juggling show from 2 to 4 p.m. Old West Society re-enactments will be held at 1:30
Even in years without high water, the city spends at least $10,000 and hundreds of person hours patching the road. An added benefit of abandoning the road would be a traffic-free nature trail area, officials say. Burnsville has landed a $1 million federal grant to build a riverfront trail along the entire stretch of road from I-35W to Cedar Avenue. The area is part of the Black Dog Preserve of the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge.

process to bill Xcel Energy for the new road. Black Dog Road was built to provide access to the plant, which dates back to the 1950s. The city hopes to assess the company for a “good share� of the project, which could cost anywhere from $2 million to $6 million, said Bud Osmundson, Burnsville’s public works director and city engineer. “We’ve been working with them very closely on all of this,� Osmundson said. “They’ve been a great partner. Black Dog Road is basically there
to serve the Black Dog plant.� The city is considering extending 12th Avenue in north Burnsville’s industrial area across the railroad tracks in the river bottom to connect with the existing high-water road that Xcel uses when flooding occurs. The road is on an isthmus in Black Dog Lake. The 12th Avenue configuration would be better than the current configuration, which takes traffic through Black Dog Park in a residential area, Osmundson said. Meanwhile, the western segment of Black Dog Road has remained closed

Whether you enlisted or your number came up, please know that there are so many of us who lived through that time and are grateful for your sacrifices. May your lives be blessed in a special way. Last week, just two days after writing the above, spoke to a man whose license plate noted him as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pearl Harbor Survivor.â&#x20AC;? As I spoke to him, he wanted to acknowledge the many active troops giving and sacrificing for us. A nice way to show our appreciation is by offering the universal sign of â&#x20AC;&#x153;thanks.â&#x20AC;?

Thisweekend The band is back in town Cedar Avenue returns to Apple Valley for July 9 concert by Andrew Miller THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
When it came time to name their band, Jesse Mathews and Kyle Wachter paid homage to their hometown. The Apple Valley natives named their pop-rock band Cedar Avenue after the north-south thoroughfare that runs through the city. It has more of a ring than the name Mathews gave his short-lived first band, Playing On A Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a dinky garage band that I sang in â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we played only one show, and it was on a Thursday,â&#x20AC;? said Mathews, 26, a 2002 Eastview High School graduate who sings and plays guitar in Cedar Avenue. The Minneapolis-based band, which released its debut full-length CD â&#x20AC;&#x153;Someday Soonâ&#x20AC;? late last year, is set to perform Friday, July 9, in Apple Valley as part of the summer-long Music in Kelley Park concert series. The Kelley Park concert
IN BRIEF Cedar Avenue is set to perform on Friday, July 9, as part of the free, summer-long Music in Kelley Park concert series hosted by the Apple Valley Arts Foundation. The Cedar Avenue concert runs from 6 to 9 p.m. in the park located at Fortino and 152nd streets near Enjoy! restaurant; opening bands are Blue Sky Canopy and Ferris. The full Music in Kelley Park schedule is at www.applevalleyarts.org. is a homecoming show of sorts for the band, which regularly performs at highprofile Twin Cities venues such as the Fine Line Music Cafe, the Varsity Theater and First Avenue. Mathews and Wachter, who plays bass, are joined in Cedar Avenue by fellow Eastview High School alumnus Shawn Burtis, a drummer Mathews met when both were members of the Eastview drumline. Rounding out the quartet is Mathewsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wife, Derrin, a California native who sings and plays keyboard in the band.
Cedar Avenue got its start shortly after Mathews enrolled at Westmont College, a Christian liberal arts college in Santa Barbara, Calif. Mathews and Wachter, who remained in Minnesota, began e-mailing audio tracks theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d created back and forth and building up a song repertoire. Things began falling into place for the group when Mathews moved back to Minnesota after college. With a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in religious studies, he signed on as a youth pastor at a Northeast Minneapolis church, where he lives on

the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play table in the reception area was unoccupied. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of our clients brought in some little plastic hard hats for everybody to wear in case of future accidents,â&#x20AC;? Halliday said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got one on their work station now.â&#x20AC;? Inside the salon, which employs eight stylists and four receptionists, new carpet and a new desk will be installed, Halliday said. The building is owned by Traiser Co. The total tab for the damage and the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insurance liability are still being worked out, Halliday said. Police have said they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect to issue citations in the case. The salon reopened at noon the following day, Halliday said.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a deep tire mark in the carpet of the reception area at Syndicut for Hair salon in Burnsville. It was left by a Toyota Corolla that crashed into the salon June 23, its wheels still spinning as it came to a halt. But most things are returning to normal at the 24-yearold salon in the Wood Park Shoppes at 14600 10th Ave. S. New brick has been laid in the base of the wall, which the driver, an 83-year-old woman, busted through, later claiming her accelerator was stuck. A new front door has been installed. The salonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owners, Brent and Michelle Halliday of Lakeville, are awaiting new windows. In their place is a sheet of plywood announcing that the
salon is open â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Walk-ins Welcome, Drive Throughs Discouraged.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are coming in chuckling,â&#x20AC;? said Beverly Halliday, Brentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, who works part time at the front desk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to look at the bright side. No one was hurt.â&#x20AC;? The mishap occurred just before noon, when only Brent Halliday and receptionist Brenda Schull were inside. Schull was sitting at the reception desk when she saw the car coming, Beverly Halliday said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just kept coming, and she jumped up finally and ran,â&#x20AC;? Halliday said. It would have missed Schull anyway, Halliday said, though she might have been showered John Gessner is at burnsville. with flying glass. Thankfully, thisweek@ecm-inc.com.

Real Estate
Twin Cities residential construction remains stable Bucking both the historic summer housing slowdown and expectations due to the expiration of Federal tax credits for home buyers, the Twin Cities residential housing permits remained stable in June. Permits, planned units, and value showed a small increase this month over June 2009, and more permits were pulled in June 2010 than in six of the past 12 months. According to statistics compiled by the Keystone Report for the Builders Association of the Twin Cities (BATC), there were 246 permits pulled for a total of 341 units during the month of June, 2010. Year-to-date, permits are 62 percent higher, units are 53 percent higher, and value is 49 percent higher than at this time in 2009. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Federal Stimulus home buyer tax credits, which expired for new contracts at the end of April, has created a degree of uncertainty in the housing market,â&#x20AC;? said Builders As-
sociation of the Twin Cities 2010 President Gary Aulik. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Did the credits stimulate buyers that otherwise wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have purchased? Did buyers who would have
with mortgage rates remaining at all-time lows while prices have stabilized, there are still plenty of reasons for Twin Cities families to
buy now,â&#x20AC;? Aulik said. Minneapolis led the metro in building activity for the month with 57 units permitted. Woodbury fol-
lowed with 31 units, Maple Grove had 27 units permitted, followed by Blaine with 23 and Savage with 15.

Sports Snowboarding brothers reaching new heights by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
The favorite method of travel for Burnsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brichta family is on a snowboard, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taken them all over the world. Brothers Peter and Paul Brichta have become two of the most accomplished snowboarders in their age group in the country. Paul, 18, made the United States of America Snowboard Association Rookie Team last spring and recently qualified for nationals in New Zealand in August. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the next step toward his goal of making the U.S. Snowboarding Team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rookie team is a pipeline for young athletes to progress through to the grand prix and X Games,â&#x20AC;? Paul said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be making it onto the U.S. team.â&#x20AC;? He spends much of his time in Steamboat, Colo., training and going to college. He graduated from high school early with hopes of taking his snowboarding to the next level. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been going up and down mountains for more than a decade and he has no plans to stop anytime soon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really like riding with friends and doing tricks,â&#x20AC;? Paul said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like riding with people my own ability level.

Paul Brichta recently made the USASA Rookie Team and qualified for nationals in New Zealand. Being able to have that camaraderie is great.â&#x20AC;? One of his favorite riding partners is his brother Peter, 14, who attends Apple Valley High School. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been snowboarding since he was 8 years old and following in his brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grooves ever since. In early April, he finished seventh in slopestyle and eighth in the halfpipe in the 14-15 age group at the
USASA Nationals in Copper Mountain, Colo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t my best finish but it gets harder in the upper age groups,â&#x20AC;? Peter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was one of the younger guys out there this year.â&#x20AC;? He looks up to his brother Paul because he takes it really seriously. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He helps me with some tricks,â&#x20AC;? Peter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see
what I need to do to be accomplished like he is.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really relate to the same things,â&#x20AC;? Paul said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is really good. I help teach him; I like watching him progress.â&#x20AC;? They both have dreams of snowboarding at the X Games and making the U.S. national team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My goal is to make
the Olympic team in four years,â&#x20AC;? Paul said. They both got their start with the G-Team at Hyland Ski & Snowboard Area in Bloomington. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a mountain like you find in Colorado with bigger jumps and longer runs, but they can still train. The tow ropes make for a quick turnaround to try new things. This summer, Paul and
Peter will train at Mount Hood, Ore., but otherwise they will spend their time wakeboarding, which is as close to snowboarding as anything else. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope to play a lot of golf with my dad and brother and some basketball with my friends,â&#x20AC;? Paul said. Andy Rogers is at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.
As years pass, competitive spirit never subsides by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
PRESSBOX
At the end of every varsity athletic season, the same thought crosses my mind: For many of these seniors, this could very well be the peak in their team-sportplaying careers. Sure, nearly everyone will continue participating in their sports to some degree. They will shoot hoops at the local gym and lace up their skates for a spin at a nearby rink. Some will enter the college ranks for their sport. A few may one day coach or play professionally. But in the end, competitively speaking, this is the highest level most will attain. While their lives in athletics will likely continue, that competitive edge is a hard thing to leave behind. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve
been there. For those who still need to feed that desire, thankfully, this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a new phenomenon. There are many longestablished avenues to compete in city leagues, club sports, and non-varsity college sports. Somewhere along the way I chose dodgeball to fuel my competitive fire. I retreated from the everpopular Minnesota adult pastime of softball for a less serious endeavor where you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to buy things if you strike out. Every Thursday night in Lakeville during the fall and winter for the past five

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Professional learning communities were really promising, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where we started.â&#x20AC;? Finally, with the help of a new insurance broker and painstaking negotiation with employee groups, Grissom led efforts to adopt a new employee health insurance plan. Combining a high deductible and other new features, the plan will actually save the district $1.8 million next year after years of skyrocketing premiums. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think everybody hopes to leave their position and the organization in good shape,â&#x20AC;? Grissom said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So hopefully we will realize the savings over time and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to work the way we think it will, but only time will tell.â&#x20AC;? Grissom is succeeded by Tania Chance, who was human resources coordinator and equity director in the Spring Lake Park School District.
the move to executive director of HR 11 years ago. Both special education and HR have their own bodies of law that require careful minding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In many respects, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much the same skill set,â&#x20AC;? Grissom said of the two jobs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to know the technicalities of the law. But whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even more important is to know the basis for the law, the purpose of the law, the spirit of the law, to be able to apply it. And then the details come in. But details alone would not serve anyone well.â&#x20AC;? There have been â&#x20AC;&#x153;highs and lowsâ&#x20AC;? in the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employee relations, said Grissom, who points to the last six to eight years as a time of growing collaboration. District officials and teachers were discussing performance-incentive pay well before the state passed its Q Comp program in 2005, Grissom said. District 191 was among the first 25 districts to join Q Comp, which provides more than $2 million in funding annually. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Embeddedâ&#x20AC;? teacher development and professional learning communities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; conclaves of teachers exchanging ideas on school time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; embodied the new spirit, Grissom said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew that teacher professionalism and finding ways to do that was what it was all about,â&#x20AC;? she said.
Making information â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;come to lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; A New Prague native, Novak was thrilled to find a teaching job in the metro area 33 years ago. She was hired at District 191â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vista View Elementary, where she taught several grades and was a science specialist. She left briefly in 1992 for an interim principalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job in Owatonna but returned to the district in 1994, serving as principal of Sioux Trail Elementary.
years, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played dodgeball with six of my good friends in a league organized through the Lakeville Parks and Recreation Department. Although thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no one else watching and no newspapers are there to cover the action, it fulfills that test of strength that can be lacking as an adult. Like any sport, dodgeball is aggressive, but the only person who can really get you down is yourself. Although itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primarily an activity for grade school playgrounds, plenty of 20-, 30- and 40-year-old adults play every week. Appropriately, the venue that hosts our league is a middle school. The game pits two teams of six people each using only six dodgeballs. Just
in case you forgot the rule, once you are hit, you go the sidelines. If someone on your team catches a ball, you can re-enter. Although grade school had its moments, no one is trying to recapture the feeling of that playground bully. The people just want to play a game, break a sweat and talk about it afterward. As you would imagine in a sport where the object is to hit someone with a ball, players tend to use their outside voices to playfully tease each other during the flurry of action. Despite its childish roots, there is more strategy to dodgeball than one would imagine. Successful squads implement such tactics as â&#x20AC;&#x153;ball managementâ&#x20AC;? and they know that good catching skills can turn a game in
their favor. Seasoned players also know that the closer you are to your target, the less time a foe has to dodge. While newer teams tend to argue without knowing the rules, veteran players operate on the honor system and willingly exit the game at the slightest graze of the ball. Regardless of how aggressive people may seem, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never personal. If anything, these players are merely throwing the ball at the stress they have accumulated throughout the week. Everyone shakes hands at the end. Although the league is co-ed, the percentage of females is in the single digits. The ones who compete earn plenty of respect. A few members of my team were on baseball or
swimming squads in college. A few other primarily play video games. Injuries throughout the season include broken fingers and worn out shoulders. Like most people, the only reason I continue to play is to be with my friends. I never remember the scores 10 minutes after the game. The memory of league championships fade very fast. While not every community recreation department offers dodgeball, there is likely a sport on their slate to fit your needs. No matter what you play, the camaraderie, fun and exercise will keep you young.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;After teaching some of the grade levels, I was really intrigued by curriculum,â&#x20AC;? Novak said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got an idea that I would like to enhance those skills, and in order to do that I had to be thinking about being a principal as well, because that was kind of the route that it went here in this district. I found out that that was really delightful. I enjoyed my principal time.â&#x20AC;? Novak became district curriculum director in 2000, served briefly as interim principal of Metcalf Junior High, and was appointed assistant superintendent in 2004. She succeeded the wellliked Gerry Ackermann. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love him dearly,â&#x20AC;? Novak said, praising her former bossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal skills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My strengths are in teaching and learning, knowing deeply about instructional practices and research about things that work in schools. And curriculum and instruction. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to follow in the same footsteps that he did, and I was given the opportunity to go in a different direction.â&#x20AC;? The district has become more â&#x20AC;&#x153;masterfulâ&#x20AC;? at reviewing and adding new curriculum, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The important part of putting that in the hands of teachers is the magical transformation of having information come to life and make meaning,â&#x20AC;? Novak said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When that happens and you see that done ef-
fectively, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great feeling for the educators and also for the students. They have a special twinkle in their eye that grabs you if you are an educator and never lets you go.â&#x20AC;? Student achievement at the junior high level needs special attention, Novak said. Based on MCA II test results, the District 191 junior high student body is a little below the state average in math as well as language arts, though the latter is more often caused by scores of a certain grade level or scores that may be a temporary anomaly, Novak said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not unique to our school district,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding that junior high students nationwide tend to â&#x20AC;&#x153;take a dipâ&#x20AC;? in achievement after the elementary grades. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re concerned about is this dip is continuing to decline over the last two or three yearsâ&#x20AC;? in District 191, Novak said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to get our hands around that and come up with some strategies to do a better job. We can do better. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a matter of thinking about our programs, looking at where our limitations are, and creating a plan that everybody can work on.â&#x20AC;? Novak praised the federal No Child Left Behind law for the focus it has brought to student achievement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the difficulties are in thinking about English as a second language students and special ed students,â&#x20AC;? whose group shortcomings
have consequences for an entire school, Novak said. Three district elementary schools â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Sky Oaks, Edward Neill and Vista View â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have reached â&#x20AC;&#x153;stage twoâ&#x20AC;? sanctions for consecutive years of not making â&#x20AC;&#x153;adequate yearly progress.â&#x20AC;? But Novak said parents have no reason to fear those schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they walked into those schools, there are so many wonderful things
that are going on for individual students, for the student body,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids are happy, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learning going on all over the place.â&#x20AC;? Novak is succeeded by Chris Lindholm, former principal and assistant principal of Shakopee Junior High.

Meals/from 1A dren who arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hungry learn better, act better, and feel better.â&#x20AC;? New to District 191, the program began June 16 and runs through Aug. 27 (no meals on July 5). Sky Oaks and Hidden Valley became eligible as meal sites this year because the number of children in those attendance areas who qualify for free or subsidized school meals now ex-
ceeds 50 percent, said Julie Kronabetter, assistant food service director. The district is estimating it will receive federal reimbursement of $50,000 to $60,000 to cover program costs, Kronabetter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Minneapolis and St. Paul have done these programs for years,â&#x20AC;? she said. At each school, a cold breakfast including cereal is served from 8:30 to 9 a.m., and hot lunch is served from noon to 12:30 p.m.
Those times could be more flexible if participation grows, Kronabetter said. So far, most of the recipients have been children in the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Project KIDS child-care programs. About 60 to 100 children in Project KIDS are fed daily at each site, Kronabetter said. Parents no longer pay meal costs that had been around $3 a day, she said. The number of children served who are not in Project KIDS has swung be-
tween about 20 to 50 a day at each site, Kronabetter said. The district hopes to feed many more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to hit at least 150 to 200 at each lunch, even higher than that,â&#x20AC;? Kronabetter said, noting that most of non-Project KIDS children come for lunch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The higher the numbers, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always easier to feed more children,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to have
a person there to cook 20 (meals), itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better if they can just cook 200 while theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re there.â&#x20AC;? Adults who bring their children can purchase their own meals for $3.40. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We understand thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of working parents out there,â&#x20AC;? Kronabetter said. The opening of summer school and the Gifted and Talented Institute at Eagle Ridge Junior High, next to Hidden Valley, may boost participation, she said.
More information and menus can be found in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Food Serviceâ&#x20AC;? section of the district website, www. isd191.org. Sky Oaks is at 100 E. 134th St. Hidden Valley is at 13875 Glendale Road. John Gessner is at burnsville. thisweek@ecm-inc.com.
