County struggles to manage budget with anticipated state aid cuts Board gets serious about cutting programs, staff

DAKOTA COUNTY

by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Anticipating dramatic and permanent state aid cuts, rising insurance premiums and economic uncertainties, Dakota County officials are planning for years of financial struggles. During a July 27 budget workshop, County Finance Director Matt Smith estimated the current $368 million county budget will drop to $313 million by 2013, a $55 million reduction. Smith said without insurance plan modifications, the county will pay another $1.8 million for employee health insurance next year, and another $300,000 in retirement benefits. Next year, Smith is recommending the county plan to cut its budget by $10 million.

In 2012, the county is planning for the possibility of losing another $19 million, and cuts of $26 million in 2013. The figures are broad estimates, and could change because there are still many unknowns, including the severity of the expected state aid cuts. In response to the anticipated budget challenges, Smith proposed earmarking a portion of the county’s fund balance to pay off bond debt over the next few years, freeing up tax levy dollars to be reallocated to cover operational costs. In addition, the county may cut employees and programs, delay or eliminate planned improvements and purchases, raise property taxes 1 percent next year and 2 percent in both 2012 and 2013, in hopes that the actions are enough to carry through until the economy picks up by 2014 and beyond.

While commissioners and department heads have prioritized county services, with law and justice topping the list, and encouraging the public in civic affairs at the bottom, few rendered comments about which areas to cut, knowing those issues will be discussed more in depth next month. But Commissioner Paul Krause questioned why the county is devoting $2.8 million of its budget, a disproportional amount compared to other metro counties, on preventing homelessness. Commissioner Tom Egan said the county should not be leading an independent effort to save energy, but working with others to achieve that goal. Commissioner Nancy Schouweiler asked if laying off workers would exacerbate the problem, and commissioners briefly debated whether employee unions would agree to multi-year wage freezes to avoid layoffs. It was also suggested that there may be

Building to be sold, but Ben Franklin not going anywhere Lakeville’s ‘five and dime’ store, family owned for more than 30 years, offers something for everyone by Derrick Williams THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Ben Franklin is just one of the many familyowned businesses that give downtown Lakeville its small-town feel. Half variety store, half “five and dime,� Ben Franklin, located at 20765 Holyoke Ave., has offered a gamut of services in the 30 years Scott Erickson has owned it. “We get people all the time that stop and say, ‘Look, a Ben Franklin. I haven’t seen one of those in a long time,’ � Erickson, 52, said. “But it’s going well. We just look for things that people can’t find other places.� And despite the fact that the Ben Franklin building is on the verge of being sold, Erickson said nothing will be General 952-894-1111 Distribution 952-846-2070 Display Advertising 952-846-2011 Classified Advertising 952-846-2000

more room for reductions in higher priority areas, than in other areas where few resources are already expended. County Administrator Brandt Richardson said they are trying to find a way to make reductions with the least amount of impact on county services, employees and residents. “We’re going about this the right way, and as negative and awful as it is, I think it really is helpful,� Schouweiler said of the process. Commissioners will continue budget discussions next month, with another workshop scheduled Aug. 24. On Nov. 2, the county plans to release the administrator’s proposed budget and a public hearing on the budget and levy is Nov. 30. The final 2011 budget is set for adoption Dec. 14.

Jordan Dibb finished his “I Walk for Love� fundraiser walk on the Fourth of July in Miami as planned and raised nearly $30,000 to help the homeless in Haiti. Walking through small towns in Kentucky, Dibb came across a state park where he said, “It was a beautiful forest where a bunch of people were hiking, sightseeing and relaxing.�

Farmington graduate finishes ‘I Walk for Love’ to raise money for Haiti by Kara Hildreth THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

After completing his I Walk for Love trek of nearly 2,000 miles in 100 days, Farmington graduate Jordan Dibb said his journey renewed his faith in America. As a young man wanting to lead a life of intention who could not land a job after college graduation, Dibb walked from Minneapolis to Florida to raise $30,000 for Haiti relief. After starting on March 27, he ended his walk as planned on the Fourth of July in Miami with his family at his side to celebrate. The 2005 Farmington High School graduate collaborated with Action Against Hunger, an international food relief agency, to raise money for food and water relief. Even though donations are still coming in, Dibb will be short of his $100,000 goal. “After walking for half the way I realized I was probably not going to get to $100,000, and I started reflecting that my journey would be more about the experience and the people I met,� Dibb said. Dibb said $30,000 will help 1,500 Haitians have clean water for three months.

The walk Dibb said it was an unforgettable experience he was

FARMINGTON glad to have taken at this time in his life. The first few weeks of averaging about 25 miles per day produced huge blisters on his feet as he wore out the soles from four pairs of shoes. After staying with families in at least 70 different homes ranging from apartments to mansions, Dibb said he learned a lot about close-knit families. Dibb experienced southern hospitality firsthand and was often asked to attend a church service in the morning. “It was definitely an educational experience to see all the different churches and listen to all the subtypes of Christianity,� Dibb said. With more than 11,000 followers on his Facebook page, Dibb wrote a blog entry about his journey on 40 of his 100 days and had nearly 12,000 daily views. “I met so many kind people who shared their lives and stories with me – a complete stranger,� Dibb said. “I learned you need to open up around people who will be accepting of other views or op-

posite views because they are good people.� Dibb hopes to publish a book of his photographs and reflections in his journal about the people he met. “I never imagined I would experience America in that sense – that everyone I talked to was really supportive even if they did not agree with my cause,� Dibb said. “I have a renewed faith in the American people because everyone can put their differences aside and help each other out.�

Next steps With plans to visit Haiti in the near future, Dibb is wondering where his steps will lead him now. After graduating in 2009 with a degree in psychology and sociology from Hamline University, Dibb could not land a job after interviewing for a few positions and sending out nearly 1,200 resumes. He is currently researching the potential of finding investors to help him start a dogboarding business. Dibb said job opportunities for college graduates are slim, but he added to his resume experiences from his journey. Dibb said he hopes employers will find him more valuable as a potential employee. “This walk taught me that I am willing to work hard and I hope I can find a cause where I can work hard and be happy with what I am working for,� Dibb said.

With each step, dance has always brought joy to Dana Riste – as an eager 8-year-old dancer, and now as a teacher giving direction to toddlers dressed in pink ballet shoes. Riste will take more than 26 years of dance experience and teaching to become the new owner of Synergy Dance Studio in Farmington in the former Brenda’s School of Dance studio on Highway 3 in the Farmington Mall. After Brenda Lendzion decided to semi-retire after teaching for 40 years, Riste looks forward to building on the studio’s strong reputation. In 1976 when she was 8 years old, Riste became a dance student of Lendzion’s. Riste, 42, looks to introduce many new generations of dancers to Synergy Dance Studio. “Dance is one of the things that you do on both sides of your brain, and so it develops both sides of your body,� Riste said. “(Dance) helps young people develop balance, coordination, discipline and learn to take direction.� Riste began her dance steps taking ballet, tap, jazz and hip-hop classes and competing in dance competitions in high school when competitions were held in the Apple Valley Mall where Rain-

Opinion Thisweek Columnist DealzOn: a new way to connect readers, advertisers thedealz n.com by Larry Werner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The newspaper is a funny animal. Are its customers the readers whom we inform about the happenings in our communities? Or are our customers the merchants who buy the ads that pay the bills? The answer is, yes. During my 40 years in this business, I have often referred to the paper as a “two-headed monster” dedicated to serving two masters – readers and advertisers. Our job is to provide objective information in the news columns while selling space in the ad columns so merchants can deliver their own commercial messages. Next week, we’ll be launching a new feature that is different from anything we’ve ever done. It will offer our advertising customers a chance to provide our readers with exceptional bargains through coupons sold on our website, www. thisweeklive.com. It’s called DealzOn, which stands for “The Deal is On.” Once you hear how it works, you’ll realize the idea isn’t original. Others have been selling coupons

off websites for some time. Going by names such as Groupon and Living Social, companies have provided bargain hunters with the chance to buy “group coupons” if a minimum number of other folks buy in a limited period of time, usually 24 hours. Through thedealzon.com, which works off our ThisweekLive. com website, we will give consumers the same opportunity to spread the word that good deals will be on if enough people buy. In a recent staff meeting, one of our sales agents asked what DealzOn has to do with putting out a newspaper. It isn’t news, and it isn’t advertising, at least in the traditional sense. My response to the sales agent’s question is that DealzOn is about serving the local businesses that support our free newspapers and website with advertising and the readers who, we hope, patronize those advertisers. A better question than why should we offer group coupons is why not? We’ve been bringing local businesses and their custom-

your local

ers together for more than 125 years in the Dakota County Tribune and more than 30 years in Thisweek. The Tribune was started as a subscription newspaper in 1884 and is now published as our Business Weekly on Thursdays. About 65,000 copies of our three Thisweek papers are distributed on Fridays in Dakota County. Our website includes virtually all the stories that appear in our newspapers. And speaking of websites, they have changed a lot of things in the news business. Many of the financial challenges we’ve faced are related to advertising moving from printed newspapers to the Internet, where ads are inexpensive because of the large number of competitors out there. Among the competitors are the group-coupon sites that have become popular with bargain-hunting consumers. Mike Jetchick, our sales man-

daily savings site

ager, noticed that group coupons were being sold every day on behalf of companies that have included some of our longtime local business clients. He persuaded me that we should start selling these coupons. Next week, you will be able to check ThisweekLive.com for our daily deal and buy coupons providing discounts of 50 percent and more at local businesses once a minimum number of people buy along with you. The revenue will be split between us and the participating businesses. Once you buy the coupon on our site, you’ll get a link that will allow you to print out a voucher for the deal. We have spent several months fine-tuning the details of our new program with a DealzOn team consisting of Mike, business manager Eva Mooney, our web designer, Dawn Igoe, graphic artist Robyn Berg and Gina Lee, one of

our sales agents. They are ready for our business customers to start offering “dealz” and for our readers to sign up for e-mail notices at www.thedealzon.com. I must admit that when I got into this business 40 years ago, I never imagined that I’d be selling coupons on the Internet as part of my newspaper job. For that matter, I never imagined there would be something called the Internet or a website or e-mail or social networking. Our business has been changed rapidly by amazing technologies, and it will continue to change. But what hasn’t changed is the role we play serving those two masters – readers who rely on us to tell them what’s happening in their communities and the advertisers who want to reach those readers, their customers. Beginning Aug. 3, we will be serving those two masters in a new way we call DealzOn. We’d like all of you to sign up. Larry Werner is editor and general manager of Thisweek Newspapers and the Dakota County Tribune. He is at larry.werner@ecm-inc.com.

Letters Emmer’s wait staff pay plan shows bad thinking To the editor: The story unfolding about Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Emmer and his desire to cut the wages of wait staff in restaurants is, unfortunately, a good picture of how this man and his party might run the state if they were elected. The way they think about issues is, indeed, troubling. At first he suggested we should cut the minimum wages of wait staff because “they make in excess of $100,000.” Even though the restaurant owner he supposedly interviewed denied ever making such a claim, the candidate made the ridiculous statement. After publicity about the statement mounted, he changed his tune and said he wanted to reduce wages so restaurant owners could make more money to hire more workers or pay other staff (kitchen help, for example) more money. So, he was cutting wages to create more (low wage) jobs. Now he has rescinded all the previous statements and suggested we “exempt the first $20,000 of tip wages. Tips should be between the customer and the server and state government has no business reaching in and taking a portion of that income.” So, now he has gone from reducing and freezing the minimum wage for wait staff to coming up with a proposal that will add “$17 million to the state deficit (according to his own staff estimates). What? A fiscally conservative, hawkish on deficit spending candidate, comes up with a solution that, in fact, increases the deficit. And worse, he never tells us how he plans to make up this new shortfall of his own making.

This kind of inconsistent thinking is frightening. He wants to bring this kind of approach to problem solving to the top of the state leadership? There is only one solution: the voters of Minnesota should reject his candidacy for higher office. At least he gave a good tip to south metro area voters: don’t trust these folks to lead your state. Otherwise, we will certainly be headed over a cliff. RON COMMINS Eagan

Baker is the right choice for judge

need of legal help as well as has been recognized by the bar association for his pro bono service. People often complain about our justice system and the injustices they see coming from it. This is our time to stand up and do something about it and put a man like Stephen Baker on the bench. CATHY A. CIACIURA Lino Lakes

Joan Baez graced the Minnesota Zoo To the editor: Wow! I had a front row center seat. This being my first Joan Baez concert, I can’t tell you what it meant to me to be able to see her perform in this intimate woodland environment at the Minnesota Zoo. “Music in the Zoo” has a an outdoor amphitheater that seats about 1,500. I sat and asked myself for two hours, “Why, oh why had I not seen her before?” She is a beautiful woman, excellent musician, phenomenal writer, who articulates with her musical creative craft that she has so passionately built throughout her career. Can you imagine that Joan Baez came to Apple Valley? I spoke to several individuals and learned that they were from Apple Valley and one from Minneapolis. That made me curious if it is primarily residents of Dakota County who are attending these concerts. She sang songs that she herself has written and songs by the Guthries, other folk songs that were new to me and I can’t forget Bob Dylan. From speaking to others, it seems that she hasn’t graced Minnesota too often in the past and we want her to know that she is warmly welcomed to please come back more often.

To the editor: Six years ago, my son was killed by an aggressive driver with a long traffic record. Although he was quickly charged, the courts allowed this deadly driver to get continuance after continuance, against my wishes and to our families great pain and anguish. Stephen Baker was the prosecutor assigned to our case. He fought hard against a court system that seemed intent on punishing us rather than the callous criminal that took our sons life. Mr. Baker was very kind to us and fair to the defendant and his family. Mr. Baker stood by us and fought hard for our rights as the case dragged on for many months without resolution. He finally forced the case to a lengthy jury trail and gained a conviction. He argued hard for a tough sentence, but the court only gave our son’s killer a minimal amount of time in jail. Now, Baker is running for judge in the First Judicial District. It’s about time we had someone like him on the bench. Fair minded and tough, Mr. Baker is the answer to a judicial system that has long been broken and is in desperate need of repair. He’s given his time and com- ROSEY GATES passion to many people in Apple Valley

ECM Editorial

Anderson Kelliher merits nod in deep DFL primary field Gov. Tim Pawlenty’s eight years in office have given voters ample time to compare his no-new-taxes version of government with the more progressive model that had prevailed for decades. November’s gubernatorial election again presents clashing philosophies. On the Democrat-Farmer-Labor side, Margaret Anderson Kelliher is the best candidate to make her party’s case in a robust contest with Republican endorsee Tom Emmer and Independence Party endorsee Tom Horner. Anderson Kelliher, a 12year veteran of the state House of Representatives, was elected speaker in 2007. She faces former U.S. Sen. Mark Dayton, also a former state auditor, and former House Minority Leader Matt Entenza in an Aug. 10 primary. The new governor’s first job will be mending an unprecedented $5.8 billion hole in the state budget. Anderson Kelliher and Entenza propose similar approaches that include spending cuts, tax hikes and continued delays in aid payments to school districts. Both propose higher income taxes for households making more than $250,000 a year. They’re right to use the income tax to reverse regressivity that has crept into Minnesota’s state and local tax structure during the Pawlenty years. Dayton’s approach – raising more revenue than either of his DFL opponents by hiking income taxes on a broader swath of “highincome” earners – may have gut-level appeal for some

DFL primary voters. It’s too divisive to carry into a general election and the 2011 legislative session. Anderson Kelliher’s choice of John Gunyou as her lieutenant governor running mate inspires confidence in her intellectual and political flexibility. Gunyou is a former state finance commissioner under Republican Gov. Arne Carlson and the current Minnetonka city manager. He’s an authority on state finance and a wellknown scold on “solutions” that trade long-term stability for expediency. The Anderson Kelliher/ Gunyou team offers the best chance for an evolving model of state finance that will become more fair and less vulnerable to unsettling revenue swings. Anderson Kelliher was the chief architect of a gasoline-tax increase that will raise more than $6 billion for badly needed road and bridge projects. She held together a coalition, including several Republicans, that delivered the only veto override Pawlenty has suffered in office. She represents a new generation of DFL leadership, one less prone to inter-caucus “bullying and yelling,” in her words, and more willing to try velvet persuasion. The daughter of rural Minnesota dairy farmers, Anderson Kelliher is visionary in many respects – such as her call for a government official to oversee services for a growing population of elderly – but some of her ideas need work. In an interview with the ECM Editorial Board, she gave an incomplete response

to a question about Minnesota’s growing public-pension crisis. In order to win DFL endorsement, she committed to exploring a state universal health-care system. The goal may be laudable, but too little has been said about how it would meld with the federal program and whether the cost is sustainable, especially in these times. Anderson Kelliher also supports a large, dedicated increase in state school funding combined with cuts in property taxes. To her credit, she says Minnesota must conquer its budget crisis first. She opposes gambling expansion and state tax dollars being spent on a new Vikings stadium, would sign a samesex marriage bill and rightly identifies Minnesota’s eroding water quality as its biggest environmental problem. Minnesota is fortunate to have three strong candidates in the DFL primary. Dayton’s lifetime of public service includes serving as a state commissioner for three different departments. During his career, Entenza was an effective legislator and leader of the House DFL caucus who now brings a fresh centrist profile to the primary race. Anderson Kelliher faces two wealthy Goliaths who have invested small fortunes in the Aug. 10 primary. Their campaign war chests neither qualify nor disqualify any of the three candidates.

Night/from 1A more than 90 parties as part of Night to Unite, Police Chief Thomas Vonhof said. “Some were official, others were more spur of the moment. But it doesn’t matter if you sign up or not, as long as folks are getting out and meeting their neighbors,â€? he said. “It’s really become a tradition here in Lakeville.â€? The MCPA, which is the lead group that helps organize Night to Unite, has a mission to provide leadership to empower community members in crime prevention efforts in Minnesota, Paul said. “The whole idea behind the association is that we’re here to help each other and other agencies,â€? Paul said. Ben Franklin/from 1A Management. Tschumper said it’s easy to see why Ben Franklin seems to thrive in downtown Lakeville. “If you walk in there you can see – they have something for everyone,â€? she said. “From kids who need Lakeville North and Lakeville South items, to seniors, to scrap-bookers, to the custom framing ‌ you just don’t see anything so eclectic anymore. There is literally something for everyone.â€? Erickson said that’s the point.

“If someone has a good program, we call and ask, ‘Can we have your notes?’ � In Lakeville, block parties are being encouraged to seek donations to the 360 Communities food shelf. Last year, Vonhof said, the 90 community parties generated more than 1,100 pounds of food. “Personally, I love this event,� Vonhof said. “We get to meet people, get out in the community – it’s really just a great opportunity.� The event used to be known as National Night Out. In some Minnesota cities, the change in event sponsor and title came last year after it was learned that National Night Out creator Matt Peskin earns $300,000 a year in But he also said owning the store has a unique set of challenges. Ben Franklin was once a dynamic franchise of retail stores, Erickson said. “But the franchise was sold. We didn’t have the clout the Wal-Marts of the world were getting,� he said. So instead of getting all of his merchandise from a central Ben Franklin warehouse like days past, Erickson said he now deals with “oodles of vendors.� “It’s a little more difficult, but now I can get more spe-

salary and benefits. Vonhof said the questions about the compensation of Peskin led to the creation of Night to Unite, which is a non-profit venture. Paul said last year’s event, the first with a new title, had as much participation as ever. “There certainly wasn’t a decline,� she said. In terms of expenses, the Lakeville Police Department spends just $635 on the day’s events and it comes out of the department’s crime prevention supplies budget. Parties can be registered with the city through July 30 by going to www.lakevillemn.gov. E-mail Derrick Williams at: lakeville.thisweek@ecm-inc.com

Thisweekend Expressions! offers divine comedy Lakeville theater group presents ‘The Education of Angels’ by Andrew Miller THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Laugh-out-loud comedy has become the stock in trade of Lakeville-based community theater group Expressions! The group’s latest production, “The Education of Angels,� promises plenty of laughs, but also delves into deeper issues, says director Maureen Carroll. “It’s about life and death and new beginnings,� Carroll said. “It’s funny, it’s poignant, it’s a tearjerker but in a very sweet way.� The show, which runs Aug. 6-15 at the Lakeville Area Arts Center, follows the misadventures of two angels in training (played by Bonnie Stevenson and Paul Modderman) sent to Earth to assist a bridegroom (Andrew Wilkins) experiencing cold feet on his wedding day.

Making their debut The production marks the stage debut for three actors in the show’s ninemember cast. Toby Nichols, who works as a substitute teacher in Lakeville Area Public

Schools, is cast as the elderly, cane-clutching Clifton in his first acting role. Rob Carry, a horticulturist by trade who this summer is producing a reality TV series tentatively titled “The Station� about the lives of firefighters in Naples, Fla., is cast as Jack, the best man at the wedding in “The Education of Angels.� “It’s exhilarating and terrifying all at the same time,� Carry, of Inver Grove Heights, said of his first theater role. “It’s something to cross off my bucket list.� Also new to the stage is 7-year-old Ariana Doyle, the sole child in the cast. “I’ve always wanted to act and it’s been really fun,� said Doyle, who will be a second-grader at Falcon Ridge Elementary in New Prague in the fall. Carroll and the other cast members describe Doyle as a natural talent. “She’s doing a phenomenal job – she’s very professional, and it feels like she’s always been on the stage,� said Carroll. “I’d take her again in a heartbeat.� Doyle got connected with Expressions! through

Dakota County Rare judicial race on primary ballot County’s aging initiative likely to 11-year incumbent suspended last year faces two challengers reorganize into a non-profit agency by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

A Dakota County judge disciplined last year for misconduct is facing two challengers in the Aug. 10 primary election. In the rare contested judicial race, attorneys Larry Clark and Stephen Allan Baker have filed to run against Judge Timothy Blakely, a former Navy officer who has held the First Judicial District seat for 11 years. Last year, Blakely was suspended from practice for six months by the Minnesota Supreme Court for negotiating a $63,503 discount for legal services in his divorce by appointing his attorney as mediator to cases he oversaw. Both Clark, an assistant prosecuting attorney for Dakota County, and Baker, an attorney from Red Wing who has practiced in Minnesota and Florida, have cited references to Blakely’s discipline as one of the reasons they decided to run for the bench. In an e-mail, Baker said his candidacy speaks for his views on Blakely and the court’s sanction.

“We need to bring honesty, integrity and the spirit of community service back to the bench in the First Judicial District,� he wrote. On his website, Clark states that he never envisioned himself running against a sitting judge, but now feels compelled to do so, “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.� On his website, Blakely does not reference the incident, but cites his experience, case decisions and states that his most important courtroom contribution “is to facilitate expeditious case resolution through consensus building and timely case management.� Blakely was on vacation last week and could not be reached for further comment. While citing concerns about Blakely, both candidates emphasized their qualifications for a seat on the bench. Baker has served as a city attorney for five Minnesota municipalities including

Eagan and Burnsville. He has 23 years of experience at the trial and appellate level in Minnesota and Florida, where he was a senior assistant attorney general assigned to special complex federal litigation division aimed at keeping murderers and sex offenders in prison. Clark joined the Dakota County Attorney’s Office in 1989 as a criminal prosecutor, handling major crimes including murder, criminal sexual conduct, felony assault and robbery. He graduated from William Mitchell College of Law in St. Paul and was in private practice in Wisconsin for five years before moving to Minnesota. The First Judicial District includes the counties of Carver, Dakota, Goodhue, LeSueur, McLeod, Scott and Sibley. Primary voters are asked to select one candidate in the judicial race. The top two vote-getters will proceed to the general election, Nov. 2.

A Dakota County initiative administered by a local non-profit organization is likely to become its own non-profit next year. What began as the county’s investigation of how to accommodate an aging public became an action plan through DARTS. The county funded the program with about $110,000 annually for three years, but it is not being funded in 2011, said Jack Ditmore, director of operations, management and budget. At a July 27 commit-

From one Junior’s to another Owner of Junior’s Cafe and Grill in Eagan coming to Burnsville with American staples and full bar by John Gessner

BURNSVILLE

THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

James Reyes Jr. doesn’t fret about the recent fortunes of his new restaurant space in Burnsville, where two eateries have gone out of business. He thinks he’s got a winner, and there’s reason to believe him. Reyes owns Junior’s Cafe and Grill in the Duckwood Square strip center on Duckwood Drive in Eagan. He’s bringing his all-American diner concept to the Towne and Country shopping center in northeast Burnsville, where Junior’s Sports Cafe is expected to open in late August. Junior’s will take over the space at 1996 E. Highway 13 previously occupied by the AppleWood Rustic Grille and Event Center, which closed last October. Before that it was a hot dog-and-pizza place called Papa T’s. “There were a couple things in this place that didn’t make it either, and we’ve been here for seven years,� Reyes said in an in-

terview at his Eagan restaurant. “Making good food and treating your customers well, that’s what makes you survive.� The Eagan restaurant’s decor and agreeably smoky cooking smells pretty much announce what’s on the menu. Cooks work over an open griddle behind a counter lined with stools. The walls are covered with images of 20th-century Americana, and the table coverings are checkered red and white. The place is known for its breakfasts, fresh-cut burgers and other starsand-stripes staples. “American food,� said Reyes, 31, of Apple Valley. “Blue-plate specials. Meat loaf. Brisket. Countryfried steak. Real mashed potatoes. Gravy. Stuff like that.� Reyes has worked in restaurants most of his life. His father, James Sr., used to own two Sizzler Steakhouses, in West St. Paul and Columbia Heights.

After they closed, James Sr. got into the distribution end of the business as a meat salesman. “He does that now with Reinhart FoodService,� James Jr. said. “He’s my food distributor. He’s one of the top salesmen in the country.� The elder Reyes has been a close adviser to his son and helped him scout a location for Junior’s Sports Cafe. At Junior’s in Eagan, James Jr. is a hands-on owner who even gets help from his mother, Alice. The 6,700-square-foot Burnsville location seats 165, dwarfing the nook-like Eagan site. “We’ve been open seven years now,� said Reyes, who is married and has three children. “I think the business is where it’s going to be. ... I want to take the next step so I can quit waiting tables and be a manager.� Reyes is adding pizza and appetizers at his Burnsville restaurant, which will have a full bar, unlike the Eagan site.

James Reyes Jr., pictured at his Junior’s Cafe and Grill in Eagan, is opening Junior’s Sports Cafe in the Towne and Country shopping center in Burnsville. He expects to grow into the space, leaving the banquet portion unused for now. Reyes has no immediate plans for live music, which AppleWood Rustic Grille tried. “We’re going to see what the business brings us,� Reyes said. “Right now there’s a stage there. We’re going to leave it there.

Maybe we’ll get ideas from the customers.� While Reyes is courting a nighttime crowd, he knows his most faithful customers may be those who rise with the sun. In March’s Minnesota Monthly magazine, WCCO-TV reporter Jason DeRusha ranked Junior’s Cafe and Grill seventh on his

top-10 list of Twin Cities breakfast spots. “We’re still going to open at 7 a.m.,� Reyes said. “We want to get a Burnsville breakfast crowd going there. We have a lot of clientele here from Burnsville.� John Gessner is at burnsville. thisweek@ecm-inc.com.

Hurling club to play exhibition, offer clinic during Leprechaun Days by Tad Johnson THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

When a hurling match is staged at the Rosemount High School athletic fields Saturday, July 31, it is possible it will be the same game that was played more than 100 years ago in that location. Rosemount residents will have a chance to see and even try their skill at the two-millenia-old Irish game as part of Rosemount Leprechaun Days. The Minnesota Irish Cultural Center and Twin Cities Robert Emmets Hurling Club will stage the game, which will start after the Grand Day Parade, probably after 2 p.m. Longtime Rosemount

resident Kevin Carroll, a frequent volunteer with the cultural center, helped connect all the proverbial dots to organize the game, which will

/

also include a short concert by the Brian Boru Irish Pipe Band playing traditional bagpipe tunes. The hurling club has long

sought to bring its game to the Twin Cities masses, and the Irish theme of Leprechaun Days seemed a logical first step. “Many of Rosemount’s founders and early settlers were Irish immigrants who undoubtedly participated in or watched hurling matches before they came to America,� Carroll said. “They, and perhaps their children, probably set up hurling matches in and around Rosemount in the mid-to-late 1800s.� Carroll refers to hurling as the grandfather of many modern sports. It has elements of lacrosse, field hockey, baseball and soccer. Hurling has two teams of about 15 players each racing up and down the field as

they attempt to score points by hitting the ball into a soccer-type goal (three points) or through a set of uprights set on top of the goal (one point). “Spectators can expect to see an exciting, fast-paced game with continuous action, played by well-conditioned and skillful amateur athletes,� Carroll said. During the intermission, club members will conduct a clinic and demonstrations during which people will have a chance to hit the baseball-sized leather ball (sliotar) with one of the wooden playing sticks (hurleys). The game is one of the many aspects of Irish heritage the cultural center aims to keep alive in Minnesota.

Carroll said the sport eventually “died out� as immigrants assimilated into American culture. “The children of each new generation were one step further removed from their Irish roots, which made it progressively harder to maintain and perpetuate traditional Irish customs and practices – and sports,� he said. Rosemount seems like the perfect place to revive the game since the city has embraced its Irish heritage both in its artifices and the high proportion of residents who are of Irish descent.

Does dance team belong on this page? by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

If you want to see who has some of the biggest fans in all of high school, go to the Target Center in mid-February for the dance team state tournament. The people that fill up the arena are as loud as anyone else that enters. The problem with “covering” dance team is finding out what to write about. There are injuries and heartache; winners and losers. It’s similar to gymnastics or ice skating where the

PRESSBOX judges decide the final score. E v e r y team works hard and every coach is proud. Many times the nut of the story is found in individual statistics. As far as I know, there are none for dance team. Sports writing is driven by statistics such as touchdowns, goals, ERAs, times and baskets.

There’s no doubt dance team is one of the most enthusiasm-inducing activities anyone could be a part of, and from my perspective it has the most enthusiastic parents who want to see their kids recognized. There’s interest in all kinds of sports but there’s only so much time and space available. Thisweek has printed stories before about dance team in the sports and news section. I believe that the story is sometimes best told

through photographs. During the state tournament, I don’t think any paper publishes more photos. Online you can find hundreds of pictures of the state tournament at Thisweeklive.com. The question is whether dance belongs on the sports page. Does it count toward Title IV? I don’t believe so. So is it an activity or a sport? Does it really matter? If there’s interest out there, then it’s newsworthy. But where does it go? I’m curious to hear your

opinion. You can send it to andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Lakeville girls don’t mind Local nine hopes to round the bases at volleyball 24-7-365 state legion

Panther girls earn All-American awards with their club teams during the summer

by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

For many high school athletes, there is no offseason. Even though practice for fall sports doesn’t begin for a couple weeks, many athletes never really stopped playing. Lakeville North volleyball players Kellie and Taylr McNeil and Alyssa Goehner were recently named AllAmericans in June after the AAU National Volleyball Championships in Orlando, Fla. The award is given to about 10 players in the nation in each age group. To be that good takes year-round practice, which they seem to enjoy. “The only time when I’m not playing volleyball is a week during summer, but it doesn’t really count because we play in our backyard,” Kellie said. Club volleyball begins the day after the high school state tournament in November ends and continues into the end of June or early July. Summer camp usually starts a week later. “I love volleyball,” Taylr said. “It’s my favorite thing to do. When I get done with a tournament, I want to get back to it. It never really gets old. There’s always new stuff to learn.” The girls look at the experience as an opportunity to hang out with their friends. “I like how I get to meet a ton of new people,” Goehner said. “My relationships get stronger every day since I play with them all the time. “I think it’s the competition. I want to be the best out there. I won’t settle for anything but.” Kellie has become one of

If history repeats itself, one area American Legion baseball team might find itself playing at the regional tournament again this year. Third District winner Eastview along with first runner-up Lakeville North and second runnerup Eagan qualified for the Legion State Tournament from Thursday to Monday in Hibbing. The top two teams move on to the either the Great Lakes Regional in Illinois or Central Plains Regional tournament in Missouri in August, which is good news for local teams because the Third District has a reputation of success at state. Apple Valley won the state American Legion tournament in 2002 and was runner-up in 2009, 2007 and 2004. In 2008, Eastview won the state title. Coaches feel that the Third District tournament prepares the team well for state. “There are so many tremendous programs (in the district),” Lakeville North head coach Josh Storm said. “They don’t take days off. There’s a lot of key Lake Conference teams in our group like Eagan, Burnsville, Rosemount, Apple Valley and Lakeville South. We’re playing a high level of competition.” The tournament also features programs from Forest Lake, Stillwater and Woodbury, which also provides stiff competition. “It’s almost like a state tournament,” Storm said. “We’re facing some tremendous pitching and it sets you up to be successful at the state tournament and beyond.” Since the competition level is so high, one good or

bad play can determine the outcome of the game. “You have to have a little bit of the baseball gods on your side and you need a good draw,” Eastview head coach Bob Klefsaas said. “That’s what baseball is all about. I love to be able to go out on the field and say this team might be better on paper than us, but if we make some great plays, any day of the week you can beat anybody.”

Lakeville North Lakeville North has been one of the premier teams in the state this season. In the final state American Legion coaches and media baseball poll, the team rose to No. 4 thanks to its 26-6 record. “We’ve played extremely well,” Storm said. “Everyone got on board and the leadership took over.” Pitching by Andy Yetzer, A.J. Moore, Tyler Brekke, Colin Baker and John Hayes has been the team’s biggest muscle this season. Yetzer has a 1.36 ERA with a 6-1 record. He’s given up eight earned runs. Moore has 37 strikeouts in 36 innings going 4-1. The team is playing for a state title thanks to the power it has at the plate. The team is hitting .370. “On any given day, eight of the nine players could hit a home run,” Storm said. “We have really good power.” T.J. Evanson is leading the team in home runs and RBI. Nick Kulla and Collin Baker are both hitting well above .400, and Nick Altavilla and Tim Kuznair both had game-deciding hits in the district tournament. “We don’t really have a weak spot,” Storm said.

Q&A: South swimmer Hailey Campbell headed to Penn State Cougar owns most of the school’s swimming records by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

In a few short years Hailey Campbell became the best swimmer in the history of Lakeville South girls swimming. After entering the school in the 10th grade, she took hold of nearly every school record by the time she graduated. The list of records she doesn’t hold – the 100yard breaststroke and relays – is shorter than the list of records she claimed. Colleges took notice of her accomplishments, and she’ll be taking her talents to Penn State in the fall. Q: What’s the accomplishment you’re most proud of? A: I think going to state all those years. I’ve never won, but I’ve been runner up. Q: What’s your favorite stroke? A: I have two favorites: freestyle and backstroke. Freestyle is a common stroke; a lot of people are good at it. I like swimming on my back and being able to breathe a lot. My coaches are always getting on me about breathing too much. Q: When did you first fall in love with swimming? A: I started swimming for a summer league in Texas for fun when I was trying out different sports. When I was 8 a friend of mine said I was pretty good and suggested competitive swimming. By 10 I was on a (club team) and by the end of the season I was rated in the top 16 in the nation. Q: How did you feel about your time with Lakeville South? A: I was always surrounded by people who were really into swimming. The coaches paid attention to you. If you were doing something wrong they’d

cord. In the last home meet I ended up breaking it. Q: What made you choose Penn State? A: When I was there I fell in love with the campus. It was so pretty. I got along with the coaches really well. They called me a lot, and they e-mailed me all the time. Q: What are your goals for college swimming? A: The plan is to hopefully go to the Big 10 championships. I already have the time for the B cuts. Q: What was your favorite memory at Lakeville South? A: My junior year at the state tournament I swam the final leg of the 200-yard freestyle relay. We really wanted to win a state title. The year before without me the relay finished third at state, but they lost one of the seniors. I was a little faster and they were so excited. They were saying this was our year to win. There was a girl, Hannah Bowen, one of my best friends, who was with Stillwater. They also had some really good times, and I really didn’t want to swim the same leg as her. Everyone told me not to worry because Hannah usually does the third leg.

Five area city planners visited Farmington recently to give feedback in a First Impressions survey. They were surprised to find much single-family housing and attractive parks.

Survey to help city improve its marketing strategy Aim is to attract more businesses, residents by Kara Hildreth THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

When area city planners visited the vistas and farmlands in Farmington, many were surprised to discover the vast single-family housing developments and attractive, well-maintained parks. Five area city planners took a two-hour tour riding in a city parks and recreation van June 18 to visit all sides of the city and fill out a 50-page First Impressions survey. “They (city planners) look at it differently and they have a quicker focus on what is going on,� said Lee Smick, Farmington city planner. “I was looking for suggestions on what we could expand upon and work on.� When Smick discovered the First Impressions survey organized by the University of Wisconsin extension office, she knew it could be a

Challenges City planners reported the city’s top challenges: • People perceive the city to be mostly agricultural and not connected to the Twin Cities • No major industry or job generators • Unusual city boundaries to maintain city identity • Not enough retail options to sustain people living in the city • Lack of nightlife or a real “hookâ€? to entice people to move to Farmington

City assets City planners rated the top city assets as being well planned, convenient and

clean with friendly people and affordable housing. Other assets were the “phenomenal� new Farmington High School with an “impressive� football stadium. Other perks were city parks and proximity of vistas and rolling farm fields, along with the quality of residential housing. The survey found the historic Third Street or Main Street is an asset. Many communities are trying to build “artificial town centers� to develop a sense of place because many suburbs were developed as bedroom communities. Apple Valley City Planner Maggie Dykes was surprised to see new singlefamily housing. “I think overall they have done a great job of developing a community and they have a lot of land and know what they need to do in order to achieve their goals and vision,� Dykes said. Noting how she likes the See Survey, 19A

When asked “Would you consider locating your retail or service business here?â€? one planner said if a big box store would locate in Farmington it could essentially capture the entire market since there is no competition. The First Impressions survey has been forwarded to the Dakota County Regional Chamber and Farmington Downtown Business Association membership. Smick plans to discuss the findings with these groups. “We need to come up with a brand,â€? for marketing Farmington, Smick said. The city logo with the Rambling River Bridge and “A proud past, a promising futureâ€? has been around for many years and needs an update, Smick said.
