Hotel employees back at work after chemical fumes Six were treated; two were hospitalized overnight by Erin Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Six employees felled by chemical fumes at an Eagan hotel are back at work and doing fine, their manager said. The workers were taken to the hospital Aug. 6 after being exposed to a potentially deadly mix of chemicals that formed a toxic gas, causing them severe respiratory distress. The chemicals came from two different cleaning solutions that were accidentally mixed in the laundry room of the Crowne Plaza Hotel. The woman who mixed them, a 20-year employee, mistook them for the same

EAGAN cleaner, commonly used in commercial laundry facilities. She was emptying a mostly-used bottle into a newer bottle when she was knocked to the floor by the gas created by mixing the two chemicals. Four other employees were affected when they rushed to help the woman, who was conscious but having trouble breathing. One responding employee managed to open the doors and move everybody outside. Another employee, an accountant whose office is near the laundry room, was also

made sick by the fumes. The hotel was evacuated, and employees were taken by ambulance and treated at the hospital. Two were kept overnight for observation and released the next day. All are now back at work, said Litia Katoa, general manager at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. “It was just an honest mistake made by one of our longtime employees,� she said. “Everything is back to normal.� The incident required the Dakota County Special Operations Team to don yellow Hazmat suits to enter the scene, where members secured the chemical contain-

ers to be safely removed. The gas created by the chemicals lasted for only about 20 minutes, said Eagan Fire Chief Mike Scott. While some household chemicals are hazardous if mixed – such as ammonia and bleach – the chemicals in this case are not found in household cleaners, he said. The chemicals combined were a sodium hypochlorite solution and a hydrofluorosilicic acid. The bottles containing the chemicals were clearly labeled, he said.

A police officer’s best friend Censured judge sails Burnsville Police Department raises money to maintain K-9 program by Aaron Vehling THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Officer Echo is like a lot of people: When he gets home from work, he finds solace in some R and R and spending time with his family. But unlike most people, he sleeps in a kennel and drinks his water from a bowl on the floor. Echo is the Burnsville Police Department’s latest member of the K-9 unit. He joined the department and was paired up with his handler, Officer Ben Archambault, six months ago. The 15-month-old Echo replaces Stryker, who retired this year. Another dog will retire next year, which creates a spending obligation of more than $22,000 to purchase, train and maintain two fully functional, professional police dogs. To stave off cuts in the department that would affect the K-9 program or other aspects of public safety, the police have asked the public for doGeneral 952-894-1111 Distribution 952-846-2070 Display Advertising 952-846-2011 Classified Advertising 952-846-2000

nations. So far the police have raised $18,000 with a goal of $20,000, said Detective Sgt. Bentley Jackson, who was a handler himself in the K-9 unit at Burnsville for seven years. Many residents have included notes along with their donations. “It’s great to get those notes,� he said. “It’s nice to get our work noticed.�

Echo came from Slovakia. The dogs do not come ready to bust perps, though.

A recently censured judge easily led challengers in Tuesday’s primary and will be in the general election. Timothy Blakely, First District incumbent judge, earned 11,160 votes, 38 percent of the 29,541 votes cast, to ensure his return in the November general election. Then, Blakely will face Larry Clark, an assistant prosecutor for Dakota County, who won over attorney Steven Allan Baker, the thirdplace candidate, by 641 votes. Clark earned 9,511 votes, 32 percent of ballots cast in the race, while Baker ended his campaign with 8,870 votes, 30 percent of ballots tallied for the race. During their campaigns, both Baker and Clark had criticized Blakely because in 2009 he was reprimanded for using his position to refer clients to his personal divorce

Clark said he never intended to run for a judicial seat, but was compelled to run in an effort to restore integrity and respect to the position. “As a judge, I promise to not let my personal interests interfere with my decisions,� Clark states in his campaign materials. Blakely has emphasized his service as a naval officer and told the Red Wing Republican Eagle that his suspension from the bench was due to “unintended misconduct.� According to the newspaper, he urged voters to consider the judgement of the Justices who ordered his reinstatement.

Honest-1 brings green car care to Eagan

!"" # #$%

by Erin Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Honest-1 Auto Care, which bills itself as the nation’s only eco-friendly auto care chain, now has a location in Eagan at the corner of Highway 3 and Diffley Road. The Honest-1 chain focuses on eco-friendly practices in four areas: pollution prevention, recycling, resource conservation, and customer promotions on eco-friendly services. The company has its own line of eco-friendly products, called Eco 360, which were specifically formulated to improve fuel economy and reduce carbon emissions.

!

Each shop recycles its used oil – which is made into new oil specifically for vehicles – as well as all of their filters. They also prohibit the use of aerosols, carefully manage waste, practice eco-friendly landscaping and use energy-efficient lighting. The company has also committed to planting a tree for every customer who purchases a service in the next year. Beyond the green features, Honest-1 auto shops focus on the comfort of their customers: Each boasts a spacious lobby with leather chairs, cappuccino machines, children’s play areas and free Internet. The Eagan location is one of only three in the metro area; the others are located in Cottage Grove and Roseville. Owner Matt Sederstrom is no stranger to green businesses. As the employee of a heavy industrial contractor for the past nine years, Sederstrom has helped build fuel ethanol plants and wind farms. He believes there is more of an effort and interest in being eco-friendly nationwide these days, and he thinks it will continue to go that way. “I think (Honest-1) has got the right focus right now. I think it’s looking at the bigger picture. That’s what being green comes down to,� he said. It doesn’t cost any more to be green, he said. “We’re doing it because we’re making it a mission. At Honest-1, it’s not an option not to do it,� he said. Sederstrom currently employs a staff of five, including store manager Rob McKenna, marketing/

He credits his staff, and their ability to work well as a team, with the early success he’s seen so far. “They are truly interested in the success of the business and are all very dedicated,� he said. The shop offers free pick-up and delivery and a three-year, 36,000-mile warranty, which Sederstrom said is the longest warranty

on parts and services in the area. Sederstrom said his shop, which does everything short of collision repair, offers very competitive rates, and there are a variety of specials and incentives available for first-time customers. “Give us a try,� he said. “Once you come in, I think you’ll see why people keep coming back.� Erin Johnson is at eagan. thisweek@ecm-inc.com.

3A cus. Both Powers, of Burnsville, and Madore, of Apple Valley, had been having trouble fundraising. Powers had raised nearly $82,000, according to the Federal Election Commission. Some of that money is from the DFL (as an endorsee) and several thousand of that is from a loan to his own campaign. Madore raised just over $42,000, none of which is from Political Action Committees (PACs), she said. Those numbers are quite low compared to the $1.13 million Kline has in his war chest. Kline has averaged a 15-percent win over DFL opponents every two years since he defeated Bill Luther in 2002. Madore said she is not intimidated. She is dedicated to building a better Minnesota, she said, echoing DFL candidate for governor Mark Dayton. “Voters today want to hear how they will be able to keep their house and job,� she said. “Right now, (Kline) has not delivered that.�

Opinion Thisweek Columnist We need to be watching out for each other by Mary Ajax 360 COMMUNITIES

I grew up in Burnsville in the 1950s, while it was still a rural community. Back then kids played outside all day and evening organizing their own games without parents or coaches. There was an informal neighborhood watch—moms and dads nearby keeping an eye on them. My mom and her sister lived along Highway 13 and regularly warned each other when they saw strangers along the road. Though we should always be alert for danger from strangers, we are at far greater risk of being harmed from someone we know, neighbors, friends, even family members. I know this firsthand. For many years, in a house, in our neighborhood, one family after another was involved in crime. The police were called many times for domestic violence, drugs, child abuse and neglect.

My son, who was in grade school, wouldn’t cross the street to walk to school because he was afraid to get close to that house. If he was afraid, think about the innocent children in that house and the fear in which they lived. How could they go to school each day ready to learn? What were they learning about family love and relationships? In my own circle of acquaintances, five people have died as the result of domestic violence. These were people I had met through my children’s day care and sports teams. All five met death at the hands of an intimate partner: a current or former spouse or a person they had been dating. And this sad tally does not include the people I have known in my 35-year of my career working on domestic violence. The National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV) survey reported that, on one day

– September 15, 2009 – “local domestic violence programs across the United States provided lifesaving services to 65,321 adults and children.” On that same day NNEDV’s survey also recorded that 2 women miscarried as a result of domestic violence, 7 babies were born to mothers living in shelters, 4 women were murdered by their intimate partners and 7 children were killed by their fathers in domestic violence homicides.” Domestic violence touches all of us regardless of race, age, religion and income. I know many adults who are deeply concerned for their grandchildren, daughters, sisters, nieces and nephews. At the root of violence in our community is violence in our homes. If we want violence to stop in our communities, we have got to stop violence in our homes and neighborhoods. The cost to each of us and society is too great to ignore it. In their Cost of Violence in the U.S.,

2007, report, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cited 16,800 homicides and $2.2 million (medically treated) injuries due to intimate partner violence annually, which costs $37 billion. These personal and financial costs, to our communities are too great. The first steps in reducing them are the conversations we should be having with our children and the behavior we need to be modeling for them. We know that crime isn’t just about strangers. We cannot ignore the astounding numbers of crimes committed by people the victim knows. Many neighborhoods recently celebrated neighborhood watch groups; Night to Unite or National Night Out events. Building neighborhood relationships is a vital first step in preventing domestic violence, and preventing such problems is a key part of developing a healthy neighborhood. What are you and yours doing to nurture neighborhood rela-

tionships and build community safety? 360 Communities believes that every individual can share in leadership, and every community can achieve a healthy future.

Letters Stretching the truth To the editor: Wow. First we hear from Republican Tom Emmer, wannabe governor, that waiters and waitresses make $100,000 a year and, therefore, don’t need minimum wage protection. Then, after his source, the one restaurant owner he interviewed, says he got his facts wrong, Emmer admits the misstatement and suggests we instead “exempt” the first $20,000 of their wages. Flip and flop. Closer to home we have Diane Anderson, Republican candidate for House 38A, claiming that she has more legislative experience than our current state representative, DFLer Sandy Masin. Anderson claims her “legislative” experience as a community volunteer (actually, she’s a registered lobbyist, registration #3783) is greater than Masin’s as a legislator. Masin is a representative who has actually drafted, introduced and secured passage of important jobs, budget and government reform legislation, and has helped pass dozens of other bills, including the long needed transportation funding law (which Anderson has said she would have opposed) and the I-35W bridge collapse victims relief fund. In fact, Masin has authored or co-sponsored 120 pieces of legislation in the last four years. Masin is also tough to match when it comes to her experience as a member of the Eagan City Council, with a lifetime of civic engagement and community volunteerism. And she has been a small business owner, as well. It is hard to make sense

of the candidate’s claim. But I guess when you have no real legislative experience and your credentials are thinner than August ice on Blackhawk Lake, there isn’t much else to do than make things up. Anderson, like Emmer, must think she can say anything and most voters won’t know the difference. If you prefer honest and thoughtful representation, it’s Masin all the way. And that’s no lie.

Focus on the candidate’s views, not party affiliation

Taft, proposed a permanent income tax for corporations (the 16th amendment). The Republican Party lost much of its credibility when it became cozy with greedy businessmen and bankers during the corrupt and inept years of Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover. Thankfully, Franklin Roosevelt’s policies helped pull the country out of the Republican-led Great Depression. Consequently, Republicans didn’t gain the White House again until Dwight Eisenhower won the 1952 election. His stand against the military industrial complex and support for an increased marginal tax rate would be mocked and scorned on Fox News if he was president today. Unlike the 1964 Republican presidential candidate Barry Goldwater, who famously said the “religious right scares the hell out of me,” many of today’s Republican candidates like Kurt Bills embrace the extremists on the far right fringe. Phil Sterner reflects the true spirit of the Republican Party more than either Lindsay or Bills, and he also embodies the bipartisan style of Dennis Ozment who served our district for 24 years as a moderate Republican. In today’s divisively partisan climate, we would do best to ignore party affiliation and focus on the individual candidate’s views, beliefs, and ability to compromise in the best interests of Minnesotans. That’s why I will be voting for Phil Sterner this November.

To the editor: Judy Lindsay was absolutely right when she wrote that her own views and beliefs on important issues are identical to those of Kurt Bills. She’s wrong, however, to suggest that a rejection of both her and Bills’ shared extremist views are anti-Republican. It seems that a little History 101 is in order. The Republican Party branched from the Whig Party in the mid-19th century as a progressive party that promoted equal rights and social justice. The first Republican president, Abraham Lincoln, signed the first income tax into law and oversaw this nation’s most bloody war in order to save the Union from a vitriolic campaign to rebel against federal laws. Half a century later Republican president Theodore Roosevelt was (and still is) celebrated for promoting a fiscally and socially pro- ERIC JAYNE gressive agenda, and his Re- Apple Valley publican successor, William

Thanks for making International Festival a success To the editor: Muchas gracias, danke, and thank you: Police and city representatives estimate nearly 4,000 guests visited Nicollet Commons Park to celebrate this year’s fourth annual International Festival of Burnsville. Survey results released this month applaud the abundance of quality entertainment, food vendors, a painted quilt art activity, as well as lively cultural exhibits and unique art on display within Burnsville’s Performing Arts Center. Many thanks to a truly exceptional planning committee who gave time and talent throughout this year to fund-raising, grant-writing, and coordinating entertainment, vendors, and cultural booths. Thank to those who diligently tended to publicity, raffle, grounds, treasury, and a myriad of administrative tasks. Kudos to our event sponsors, including Ames Construction, Comcast, Cornerstone Copy Center, Cub Foods, Frontier Communication, Goodman Group, McDonald’s, Mediterranean Cruise Cafe, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, and the Mexico Tourism Board, whose grant or contributions allowed for stage and sound equipment, contracts with dancers, singers, musicians, for space rental, promotional materials, and so much more. With your help, this event continues to unite and further strengthen our community. Ankthay ouyay, takk, and merci to our volunteers, including those from Klein Bank and Burnsville High School, for bringing about a delightful multicultural experience. Our IFB Board aims to keep improving and growing this unique community celebration. Visit www.ci.burnsville.

What does Bills stand for? To the editor: For weeks I’ve been wondering what Kurt Bills stands for and what exactly he means by “Econ 101”? I guess I can stop wondering. First I learned that Bills has enthusiastically accepted the endorsement of the Republican Liberty Caucus, a group that endorses only a few of the most right-wing candidates each election year. This is the group that wants to abolish all corporate and business taxes. If this is what Bills means by “Econ 101,” it just doesn’t add up. How exactly does Bills plan to compensate for the loss of these business taxes? Does he just expect homeowners and middleclass taxpayers to pick up the slack for big corporations? As Minnesota faces a possible $7 billion budget deficit in the 2011-12 biennium, does Bills really believe the loss of all business taxes will help the situation? And do Bills and the Republican Liberty Caucus feel that multi-million dollar corporations and businesses should operate tax-free in our society? Then just last week I read that former House candidate Judy Lindsay — whom voters in our district rejected two years ago because of her extreme views — confirmed that she and House candidate Bills have “identical” stands on the issues. She stated, “I guarantee you that a vote for Kurt Bills is exactly the same as a vote for Judy Lindsay.” Lindsay’s seal of ap-

proval for Bills and his endorsement by a group with a radical agenda speak volumes about what a BillsLindsay agenda could mean to our state. Both give me all the information I need to know when I go to the polls in November. MYRON NAPPER Rosemount

Besmirching and smearing in Bills House race To the editor: Citing the legacy and honorable deeds of Judy Lindsay is irrelevant to the District 37B House campaign of Kurt Bills! Somehow contributors to the letters to Thisweek deign to besmirch anyone with views other than their own regardless of their own mendacious designs. The coordinated attack to smear Bills by misrepresenting the virtues of Lindsay should be beneath the dignity of the most odious blatherskite. However, if a balanced budget, adherence to our Constitution, and a disinclination to promote a school-fostered homosexual agenda is evil, then what is virtue but a name? And to denigrate Bills for receiving awards to not increase taxes on business speaks loudly to the authors of such repugnant thoughts. Is there a business that survives that is not forced to pass on all expenses, including taxes, to us consumers? Of course if one’s goal is to increase government and drive away the source of a nation’s wealth (businesses) then we must concede all. For what is this liberty that we all crave but an ideal to be traded for favors gained at the expense and suffering of others? RICHARD IFFERT Eagan

It may still seem like the middle of summer, but fall practice will begin on Monday and we are less than two weeks away from the first game of the newly minted South Suburban Conference. While there are a few tennis tournaments, by my calculations the first varsity competition between two South Suburban Conference teams will be on Aug. 26 with girls tennis. The South Suburban Conference will feature mostly former Lake Conference teams, swapping Eden Prairie, Chaska and Chanhassen for Prior Lake. While most of the schools in the conference are familiar, the competition should be as strong as ever.

PRESSBOX Looking back to the fall season last year, taking away the omnipresent Eden Prairie, South Suburban programs still filled the state tournament brackets. Eastview and Lakeville North football both qualified for the state tournament. Burnsville volleyball finished third at the state tournament. Apple Valley was the state champion in boys soccer and looks like a favorite again this season. Lakeville North and Eagan both had representation at the girls state soccer tournament. Both Lakeville girls swimming programs finished in the top 10 at state.

Rosemount made an exciting appearance at the state girls tennis tournament as well, and the Burnsville boys were third at state in cross country. Don’t count out Prior Lake as some cute, little addition either. The girls cross country program is one of the best in the state, finishing second last season. The volleyball team went 23-5, and the girls soccer team was the Missota Conference champion. I covered Prior Lake sports in the Missota Conference for a few years. The competition isn’t nearly as strong as the Lake Conference and there aren’t as many top-class schools. For instance, Farmington and Prior Lake were the only schools to compete in Class 5A for football. But they’re a determined bunch to the

west and they’re not going to shy away from anyone. The same teams might not get back to the state tournament like they did in 2009, but one of their fellow conference competitors will almost certainly get there. They can change the name of the conference, but every season, every sport will feature some of the best athletes in Minnesota.

Ouch!

Eagan Patriots 2-2 at regionals The American Legion baseball team from Eagan held their own at the Great Lakes Regional tournament in Mattoon, Ill., last weekend. Eagan went 2-2, defeating La Crosse, Wis., 12-5, and Tuscarawas County, Ohio, 12-1. The losses came against Terre Haute, Ind., 7-1, and Moline, Ill., 8-7. Neal Kunik, Matt Lichty, JD Dorgan and Louis LaChapelle each batted above .400. LaChapelle and Dorgan each had nine hits and Litchty had seven RBIs. Garrison Harris threw eight shutout innings and Neal Kunik struck out 11 in 8.2 innings.

North Dakota State University’s Zach Vraa broke his collar bone Sunday. The freshman wide receiver watched Monday’s practice with his arm in a sling. Vraa was Minnesota’s Mr. Football in his senior high school season. He is one of the top athletes to come out of Rosemount Andy Rogers is at High School ever. andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Dakota County Gun Club tries to attract youths, women to the field by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

With a new compound bow, Joshua Policarpio needed a place to try it out four years ago. He wanted to pursue his hobby of archery, but the city is a difficult place to practice. He discovered that the Dakota County Gun Club gives out free instruction the first and third Saturday in June, July and August. They provided free instruction on the proper use of .22-caliber rifles, shotguns and archery equipment. All ammunition is free and he received one-onone training with certified firearm safety instructors. “I was intimidated by a rifle at first,” Policarpio said. “I wanted to try something new.” He discovered the instructors were effective helping beginners as well as people who wanted to refine their technique. Four years later, Policarpio tries to go out at least five of the six sessions every summer, shooting targets and traps. One of the Dakota County Gun Club’s goals is to educate people on handling a rifle and how to do so safely. “What we emphasize if a youngster goes over to a friend’s house and shows them a gun – we teach youngsters how to handle

free for females age 16 and older. At the sessions, about 80 to 90 percent of the women have never picked up a firearm before. “Their husbands might have a gun around or they do target shooting,” Vogelgesang said. “They want to know if it’s going to scare them or not. It hasn’t really been available for the ladies. We anticipate more than 150 ladies out there.” The ladies session will have a number of different firearms on hand for testing. They’ll have Sharps rifles, buffalo guns, musket loaders, pistols, revolvers, shotguns, and AR-15 rifles.

Dog days of summer filled with youth sports by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Youth sports crowd many families’ schedules all summer long, but it’s almost always worth it. Teams will play almost 70 games over the summer with tournaments just about every weekend. It takes some dedicated families, coaches and athletes to have all that fun every year. “I just enjoy working with kids,” Lakeville fastpitch coach Mel Simon said. “They keep me young and you can tell they appreciate it.” He coached his second oldest daughter this season with the Lakeville Invasion 14U that won the USSSA World Series in July. He works full time while spending the last 13 summers as a volunteer coach. “June through July is very busy,” Simon said. With his daughter on the team and one helping him coach, he spends more time with his family than many fathers. “I always say, if they want to work and put in the time, I’ll be there,” Simon said about coaching his daughters. Out-of-state tournaments turn into family vacations for many youth teams. “I have had some of my players with me for four years and it is very rewarding to see them develop into great little soccer players and even better people,” Dakota REV coach Tim

Thompson said. “I have watched some of these kids grow up right before my eyes. “To put that much work into something and have it end with a state championship is so rewarding. The feeling is indescribable.” There are many volunteer coaches who are mainly parents who volunteer their time all summer, while a number of the top teams hire top coaches. There are more than 1000 youth summer programs in the south metro and several have reached some high marks this summer.

National champ in Lakeville

“They have no ego. They just go out and play. “ In intense heat and humidity, the girls played nearly flawless softball to bring home the first 14U National Title home to Lakeville. Megan Lilliencrantz received the Tournament MVP Award and Kylie Stober received the Tournament Outstanding Pitcher Award.

Buzz around the fair

Rebels win state Dakota Rev Rebels U14 girls soccer team won the 2010 state championship this summer at the Classic 2 skill level finishing with a record of 61-9-5. The girls won the Blaine Breakout, Rev-It-Up, Tonka Spash and the Rochester Invitational. The biggest highlight was winning the state tournament. Dakota REV Girls U11 Riptide also won a state title and two of REV’s premier teams won their league. Dakota REV teams play in the Rosemount dome and local school gyms all winter long and their season runs from May to late July with players from Rosemount, Eagan, Apple Valley, Burnsville and Lakeville. The Rebels earned 83.3 percent of their points (three for a win and one for a tie) this season, which means than can move up to C1, a higher level, in 2011.

Simon coached the Lakeville Invasion 14U, a club team with the Lakeville Fastpitch Softball Association, along with assistants Bob Harris and Eric Nelson, who won the USSSA World Series national softball tournament in July. The team includes two girls who played varsity softball last spring and three in junior varsity. The rest played either sophomore or freshmen softball, while one chose to participate in track. They played in two different leagues this summer, the Elite League and the Minnesota Fastpitch ASA league. Andy Rogers is at “One thing about this andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com. group is that they’ve very balanced,” Simon said.

Thisweekend Burnsville brings the jazz Art and All That Jazz Festival returns to Nicollet Commons Park THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

This year’s Art and All That Jazz Festival in Burnsville’s Nicollet Commons Park will be easy on the pocketbook. Now in its seventh year, the outdoor music festival on Saturday, Aug. 21, is a free-admission event. “We wanted to make it accessible to everybody,� festival chair Nigel Linden said of the decision to nix the $5 cover that was charged in past years. “The park’s going to be completely open – no barriers, people can come and go as they please.� What hasn’t changed at Art and All That Jazz is the lineup of top-notch jazz acts of both local and national renown. The live music kicks off at noon with the Jack Brass Band, a New Orleans-style brass band, and runs continuously into the evening, with Latin jazz guitarist Jesse Cook headlining at 8 p.m. Also on the bill are Steve Clarke and the Working Stiffs, the Penguins, and Lao Tizer with Karen Briggs and Chieli

Minucci. Organizers have added a covered stage this year, meaning that a little rain won’t put the kibosh on the festival – as it did in 2007 – and performers can play through a drizzle without fear of equipment damage. Eighteen art vendors, each of whom had to pass a jury-selection process to be admitted to the festival, will be selling paintings, jewelry, sculptures and other fine-art items in tents along Nicollet Avenue, which will be closed to traffic at 134th Street. Festival-goers will have plenty of options to sate their hunger and slake their thirst, with about a dozen food vendors offering everything from turkey legs and corn on the cob to gyro salads and baklava. There will be a full bar. New this year is an instrument “petting zoo,� hosted by CDLC Preschool, with keyboards, percussion instruments and guitars for children to try out. “The kids can just come in and bang away – the idea is just to get kids interested

One day Megan Rodenbeck, a ninth-grader at Nicollet Junior High, gazed upon a vast monochromatic expanse in the Burnsville school’s cafeteria and decided enough was enough. Taking into consideration the themes surrounding FIRE, the school’s new behavioral management program, and the finer points of school spirit, Rodenbeck collected a friend and set forth to fill the white space with colorful artistry. “FIRE� stands for Focus, Integrity, Responsibility and Excellence, said Nicollet Principal Renee Brandner. Fueled in part by a training grant from Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports (PBIS), a nonprofit educational organization, FIRE is designed to create an environment for better learning. Brandner said the program has worked wonders. “It’s been so successful we’ve had parents and students talking about it,� Brandner said. From the student perspective, Rodenbeck said, it seems to be working, too. “Classrooms are easier to concentrate in,� she said. “All over the school, students are on the best behavior.� FIRE was first implemented for this recent school year, combining training from PBIS with a framework developed by Nicollet staff, Brandner said. She added that PBIS had suggested it would take three to five years to achieve a 100 percent success rate with the program. “We got to 80 percent in the first year,� she said. “I’m proud of what we’ve done.� Among the methods used

Nicollet Junior High School student Megan Rodenbeck applies a shade of blue to her school-spirit-themed mural in the cafeteria.

DISTRICT 191 to reinforce respectful behavior among the students, Brandner said, are a series of incentives such as VIP passes and “Caught in the Act� tickets, which are designed to reinforce positive social behavior. Students can redeem those awards for items at the school store.

Mural

Her friend Anna Johnson penciled the design on the wall, providing a framework for Rodenbeck to enunciate her treasure trove of artistic repertoire. When Thisweek caught up with her last week, Rodenbeck had already invested nine days into the project. Brandner looked on at Rodenbeck and her nascent mural with a great sense of pride. “She’s a self-starter,� Brandner said. Rodenbeck, who enjoys swimming, soccer and piano in her spare time, plans to continue her humble incarnation of a renaissance person into adulthood. She said she hopes to not only be a marine conservation scientist, but also “an artist and an author.� The mural will be completed by the first day of school, Sept. 7.

The span of the artwork features images of the types of objects you would expect to find at a school, such as textbooks, loose-leaf notebook paper, beakers and calculators, combined with a prominently placed globe to reflect the diverse culture of the school. Rodenbeck said she likes to draw in her spare time, but this undertaking is a whole new realm of art for her. “Painting is a lot harder and more time-consuming,� E-mail Aaron Vehling at aaron. she said. vehling@ecm-inc.com.

Dam/from 4A said the deal is good for the county. He said the county has closely analyzed costs and revenues and predicted power sales increases will trump operating costs in the future. Richardson added the plant revenues will likely prove more profitable than the county’s investments, which have recently taken a beating in this economic climate. The dam and power plant are located in the Cannon River in Cannon Falls near Randolph Township. Dakota County officials are concerned about keeping the dam maintained to protect downstream developments. Fiscal implications and estimates will be further discussed as county commissioners continue discussions regarding the 2011 budget.

ORDINANCE NO. 458 2ND SERIES AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EAGAN, MINNESOTA, AMENDING EAGAN CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX ENTITLED "OTHER BUSINESS REGULATION AND LICENSING" BY AMENDING SECTION 6.35 REGARDING GAMBLING; AND BY ADOPTING BY REFERENCE EAGAN CITY CODE CHAPTER 1 AND SECTION 6.99. The City Council of the City of Eagan does ordain: Section 1. Eagan City Code Chapter Six is hereby amended by changing 6.35 to read as follows: Sec. 6.35. Gambling. Subd. 1. Purpose. The purpose of this section is to ensure that charitable gambling in the city is conducted by organizations licensed or exempt from licensing under Minnesota Statutes and that the proceeds from such gambling are used primarily for the betterment of the residents and businesses of the community. These restrictions shall be no less restrictive than Minnesota Statutes or regulations and shall apply to all forms of lawful gambling. Subd. 2. Applicability. This section shall regulate all forms of lawful gambling within the city except bingo conducted within a nursing home or a senior citizen housing project or by a senior citizen organization and the following limits are followed: 1. The prizes for a single bingo game do not exceed $10.00; 2. Total prizes awarded at a single bingo occasion do not exceed $200.00; 3. No more than two bingo occasions are held by the organization or at the facility each week; 4. Only members of the organization or residents of the nursing home or housing project are allowed to play in a bingo game; 5. No compensation is paid for any persons who conduct the bingo; and 6. A manager is appointed to supervise the bingo. Subd. 3. Approval required. Unless excepted from regulation by this section, it is unlawful for any organization to conduct lawful gambling in the city without approval from the city council or Dakota County in the form of a premises permit. Subd. 4. Applications. A. Applications to conduct lawful gambling shall be considered and approved by the council at regular meetings. B. Only applications submitted by eligible organizations will be considered for approval by the council. C. An application organization shall provide adequate proof that it has at least 15 active members and that at least 15 of its members are either employed or live within the city or that it is a nationally known organization as determined by the city. D. An applicant for a premises permit shall be subject to a criminal background investigation which shall include investigation of the organization and the gambling manager. E. No application for a premises permit will be considered or approved by the city council until the investigation fee is paid in full. The investigation fee under this section shall be in an amount set forth by city council resolution. Subd. 5. Regulations and restrictions. A. In addition to regulations imposed by the state, all information and reports required to be submitted to the state shall also be submitted to the city, both with the application and on an annual basis. Failure to comply with this reporting requirement shall result in suspension of the premises permit. The city council may revoke the premises permit where the organization has failed to meet the reporting requirements on more than one occasion. B. Lawful gambling may be conducted only in on-sale liquor licensed establishments in the city, which are either owned or leased by the eligible organization. C. Eligible organizations may, however, be granted temporary approval for lawful gambling in premises other than on-sale liquor licensed establishments for no more than four consecutive days. Subd. 6. Distribution of proceeds. Every organization conducting lawful gambling within the City of Eagan shall expend 60 percent of its expenditures derived from lawful gambling on lawful purposes conducted or located within the City of Eagan or the City of Eagan's trade area. The City of Eagan's trade area is defined as the cities of Apple Valley, Bloomington, Burnsville, Inver Grove Heights, Mendota Heights, Rosemount and Sunfish Lake. Annually, every organization must file with the city, on a form provided by the city, a report signed by an independent certified public accountant, documenting compliance with this section. In addition, every organization must submit a report to the city each January listing all lawful purpose expenditures from January 1 to December 31 of the preceding year. The report shall identify the name of the entity to whom the check was written, the city location of the recipient, and the amount of the donation. Section 2.

The City Council of the City of Eagan does ordain: Section 1. Eagan City Code Chapter Eleven is hereby amended by adding Section 11.40, Subd. 10, to read as follows: Subd. 10. Outdoor wood boiler systems. A. Purpose. This section is intended to ensure that outdoor wood boilers are utilized in a manner that does not create a public nuisance and is not detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the residents of the City. B. Definitions. For the purposes of this section, the following definitions shall apply: 1. Clean fuel. Natural dry wood (which has not been painted, varnished or coated with a similar material, has not been pressure-treated with preservatives and does not contain artificial resins or glues as in plywood or other composite wood products), corn, wood pellets, other fuel pellets and other solid fuels approved by the Environmental Protection Agency. 2. Outdoor wood boiler. An appliance installed out-of-doors and designed to transfer or provide heat, via liquid or other means, through the burning of clean fuel for heating purposes. Also known as outdoor hydronic heaters. Outdoor wood boiler does not include a fire pit or wood-fired barbeque. 3. Public nuisance.

ATTEST: CITY OF EAGAN City Council /s/ Maria Lynn Petersen /s/ Mike Maguire ________________________ _______________________ By: Maria Lynn Petersen By: Mike Maguire Its: City Clerk Its: Mayor Date Ordinance Adopted: August 2, 2010 Date Ordinance Published in the Legal Newspaper: August 13, 2010 Date of Advisory Planning Commission Hearing: July 27, 2010 2300192 8/13/10

5 p.m. to 3 a.m. since early June. Among the primary skills Echo learns are locating and tracking measures. “He can track people, conduct building searches and find guns and knives,� Archambault said. Another feat at which all canine officers excel is sheer defense. Archambault said that at most times Echo is on his leash, which is often enough. “In reality, a majority of people give up (evading police) when they see a dog,� Archambault said. Becoming a handler in the K-9 unit is more than just taking on another task or getting a promotion: It is a vocational move. “It is a real commitment,� Jackson said. “You are working 24/7, including the night shift. It takes a toll on the handlers.� Archambault agrees. “We train every night,� he said.

Friend, partner Echo lives with Archambault and his wife and two children. At home, he’s a pet, a companion and friend. “There’s no training at home,� Archambault said. “We just have fun.� His kids play with Echo and by some appearances the dog is just another pet. But when Archambault suits up for his shift, he said, Echo knows instantly what is on the docket. When Echo retires in about five to seven years, he will live the remainder of his life with

the Archambault family, the officer said. K-9 units typically work night shifts because the need for the dogs’ skills is just greater at that time, Archambault said. He was OK with this, though, he said, because he had been working on the department’s SWAT unit during the same night shift for years. To become a K-9 handler, Archambault had to endure a battery of tests and interviews. When he initially applied for the position in 2004, he did not get it. “At that time I had the least seniority of the applicants,� he said. But when he applied this year he was the most senior. On top of that, said Jackson, who heads the K-9 unit, Archambault demonstrated a drive and demeanor suitable for the position. “We look for a good, balanced approach to police work,� Jackson said. Archambault has long aspired to join the K-9 unit. “I have always loved dogs,� he said. When he was a community service officer in Apple Valley

in 1998, a handler asked him to help out the K-9 unit there. Archambault served as a “decoy,� he said, helping to train the dog. “I thought it was the greatest thing,� he said. “From that point on I was hooked.� One recent memorable incident for Archambault was a case of fugitives in Eagan. Echo tracked and recovered two suspects over a distance of nearly two miles. In the coming months, Echo will be crosstrained in narcotics detection. So not only will he be able to smell fear, Echo will also have the ability to sniff out a hidden marijuana stash.

Donate For Archambault, he has not only gained a new family member and partner, he has gained a bodyguard as well. “He’s always got me,� Archambault said. The police department is still taking donations for the K-9 program. Call (952) 895-4600 or donate online at www.burnsville.org.
