Another Lakeville leader is gone: Jerry Erickson dies Erickson helped found Lakeville’s PanO-Prog, chamber of commerce, was a champion of downtown Lakeville by Derrick Williams THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Every city has them. Pillars of the community, pioneers in an era of growth from village to town to city. T h e y ’r e the men and women who are known by Jerry their first Erickson names. The ones who guide and craft a community during those years of growth. Jerry Erickson was considered one of those people. For decades, he owned Erickson Drug and Ben Franklin – two familyowned businesses that helped give downtown

LAKEVILLE Lakeville its small-town feel. In the 1960s, he helped found Lakeville’s annual Panorama of Progress celebration. Later he founded the city’s chamber of commerce. So involved was Erickson that Lakeville’s City Council recognized him on July 6, officially calling him a “pioneer� and honoring him with a plaque in downtown’s Pioneer Park. But after a long bout with an illness, Erickson died Friday, July 30. He was 81. With Erickson’s death, Lakeville has now lost three of its community icons in the span of just four See Erickson, 5A

Suspect acquitted in Farmington Legion fire by Kara Hildreth THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Two and a half years after a fire burned the Farmington American Legion, the suspect, Kevin Leroy Kraus, was acquitted of charges by a Dakota County jury on Fri- Kevin Kraus day, July 30. The jury found a lack of evidence that it was Kraus’ cigarette that ignited the fire on Feb. 10, 2008. “We are very surprised at the verdict and it was tough to hear that he was acquitted because the case was drug out for a long time,� said Tony Jerin, bar

FARMINGTON manager of the Farmington American Legion bar and restaurant located off Highway 3. Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom said DNA tests conducted on cigarette butts found inside the Legion vent did not turn up Kraus’ DNA. The fire could have diminished DNA traces from the butts. Kraus, 41, of Rosemount, was charged in January 2009 with gross negligence resulting in property damages that led to the restaurant being closed for eight months for repair and reconstruction.

Farmington Fire Chief Tim Pietsch commemorated former fire chief Ken Kuchera – who lost his battle with cancer in June – at the opening ceremonies for the Relay for Life walk in Farmington on Friday, July 30. This year the American Cancer Society’s theme was “A world with less cancer is a world with more birthdays.� Caregivers shared personal, heartfelt stories about survival and loss, and many cancer survivors proudly walked the “Survivors’ Lap� around the track. The track was framed with hundreds of luminary bags, each decorated with handwritten words of remembrance and photos of family and friends who died from cancer. Pietsch shared his words of remembrance about Kuchera, who passed away June 6 after battling colon cancer for more than five years. Being formally introduced to Kuchera back in 1977 when his parents moved next door to him, Pietsch said he did not know what kind of impact Kuchera would have on his life back then. “When he had cancer, he battled it and he remained so positive

During the opening ceremony, Farmington Fire Chief Tim Pietsch gave a moving speech to honor the life of former fire chief Ken Kuchera, who died of colon cancer June 6. throughout the whole ordeal and never said anything negative,� Pietsch said. When Pietsch visited Kuchera in hospice at the end of his life, Kuchera told him, “I can either remain positive or I can be mad at the world.� “That was a testament to me for

how he saw things,� Pietsch said. Besides working together in the fire service for years, Pietsch said his friendship blossomed with Ken when they went ice fishing on Lake Mille Lacs and snowmobiling up north in the winter. “That is really when I got to know him and what he was like, and I realized what a good person he was and how he could talk to anybody,� Pietsch said. Kuchera had the ability to lighten the tension or mood in the room with a joke or a few words, he said. “The man knew everybody and remembered everyone’s name he met,� he said, recalling a Canada fishing trip where Kuchera knew someone at a remote resort. “My friendship with Ken blossomed into so much more than the fire service – he was almost like a second father because he was very firm, yet very forgiving, and I witnessed that time and time again,� he said. Pietsch read the firefighters’ prayer to say this was how Kuchera lived his life and he continued to have a passion for the fire service even after he retired. See Relay, 4A

Organizers for the South Metro Miracle League, a Lakeville-based baseball program for children with disabilities, said they have the money to start construction on their new field after four years of fundraising. Brian Roseen, who organizes the Miracle League project for the Lakeville Baseball Association, said they’re ready to break ground at King Park in Lakeville. “It’s exciting. There’s a need — I know there’s a huge need — and it’s exciting to finally be here, ready to move dirt,� Roseen said. On Sunday, Sept. 12, Roseen said the league will take a huge step. Not only will ground be broken on the new field

LAKEVILLE during a ceremony, but the league will kick off and hold its first games that day. “The fall league will be free to players and it’ll allow us to raise awareness across the south metro that the league is ready,� Roseen said. The Miracle Field will be built at King Park, located at Dodd Road and 185th Street, on one of the eight existing fields which the Lakeville City Council donated to the Miracle League in 2006. And while ground breaking is set to begin, fundraising is still ongoing. Roseen said they have roughly half of the $400,000 needed to construct the Miracle Field, but have enough to get the

field up and running before next spring’s league begins. Miracle Fields are different than a regular baseball fields because they’re designed with a cushioned, rubberized surface, wheelchair access to the field and dugouts, and a flat, barrier free surface to help visually impaired players or players in wheelchairs. With fundraising efforts ongoing, M&I Bank and Lakeville’s Parks and Recreation Department are teaming up for Movies in the Park on Saturday, Aug. 14, with proceeds going to the Miracle League. Andrea Novak, a regional marketing manager with M&I Bank, said the event, held at North Park, located at 17100 Ipava Ave., will begin around 7 p.m. with free activities and games for children and

families. At dusk, Novak said they’ll show Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel. “We do the event as an opportunity to give back to the community,� Novak said. “And we try to team with non-profits, and the Miracle League is such a great cause.� Novak said people should bring blankets and lawn chairs for the movie, and concessions will be sold during the event. Roseen said the South Metro Miracle League has roughly $150,000 in hand with another $55,000 of in-kind donations, but $200,000 is still needed for bleachers and other parts of the project. “So many people want this to happen,� he said.

Walk raised $32,000 and this year the goal was to reach $41,000. “Having the event overnight helped because there was more time, and everybody was really excited about the significance and meaning of it being overnight,� Thone said. The Relay for Life overnight campout symbolizes how a cancer patient starts out in the light when they’re healthy and then, after they receive the cancer diagnosis and endure radiation or chemotherapy, they go through what feels like a darkness, Thone said. “Waking up the next day shows the symbolism of coming out in the light again at the end of the cancer journey� after remission,� said Thone.

“Like M&I Bank and all of the other donors to the project.� Roseen said he became interested in the project four years ago when he and his 13-year-old son were playing catch at Quigley-Sime Park in Lakeville. While playing, a young boy in a wheelchair rolled up to their field. “We tried to find a way for him to play with us,� Roseen said. “The field, though, just wasn’t made for it. My son said, ‘That’s not fair.’ I agreed.� That experience prompted Roseen, who was already active with the Lakeville Baseball Association, to begin searching for information about baseball fields for children with disabilities. He soon stumbled upon the Miracle League of Minnesota, a nonprofit group providing opportunities for children with disabilities ages 3 to 19 to play baseball. “It’s something all kids can do,� he said. “Everyone is welcome.� Roseen said any child with special needs is welPhoto submitted come to play.

months. Jerry Enggren, Erickson’s friend who was also a downtown Lakeville business guru and owned Enggren’s Market, the town’s small grocery store until it closed in 2006, died in April. Don McGuire, Lakeville’s longtime schools superintendent and community activist, died in early July. “There’s now a huge void, no question of that,� said former Lakeville city administrator and current school board member Bob Erickson, 64 (no relation). Erickson’s legacy will be downtown, said Nancy Smith, who, with Erickson and others, helped create the Downtown Lakeville Business Association. “It’s going to be tough,� Smith said. “But his legacy will live on. He was always so active and really was one of the pioneers of this community.� Bob Erickson agreed and said Erickson stood for all that was good about downtown Lakeville. “He was there supporting (the downtown) through good and more challenging times,� he said. “When I think of downtown, it’s certainly synonymous with Jerry Erickson.� Smith said Erickson was more than just a business colleague. Their two families also lived close to one another on Lake Marion.

Fire/from 1A ton Police Department sent witness testimonies, case interviews and surveillance video to the Dakota County Attorney’s office.

“I spent time with (Erickson) just 10 days ago. We shared an ice cream cone,� Smith said. “He was still the warm Jerry we all know with a big smile on his face. “From my perspective, as a man and as a friend, they don’t come much better than (Erickson),� she said. During Erickson’s wake and celebration of life, which was held on Aug. 2 at Hosanna! Lutheran Church, Pan-O-Prog’s past presidents all wore their Pan-O-Prog shirts and hats in honor of Erickson. “(Erickson) was always moving forward. He never lost focus, whether it was Pan-O-Prog, or Pioneer Park, or the Arts Center, or the (DLBA). He was always there in full support of the opportunities to make downtown a special place,� Bob Erickson said. During the most recent Pan-O-Prog, Erickson made it to one last past president’s breakfast, Bob Erickson said. “It was very special for him and for all of us,� he said. “He’ll really be missed.� Erickson moved to Lakeville with his college sweetheart, Martha, in the spring of 1963. His dream was to open his own pharmacy, and Walgreen’s, which in those days offered franchise opportunities to entrepreneurs, was just the ticket. Just a few years later,

he broke from Walgreen’s and his pharmacy became Erickson Drug. During his time in Lakeville, Erickson was involved in the creation of Airlake Industrial Park and the DLBA, the founding of Pan-O-Prog in 1966, and the launching of the Lakeville Area Arts Center. He was also the founder of the Lakeville Area Chamber of Commerce and a charter member of the city’s first economic development commission. He even helped launch Lakeville’s Little League baseball program. Erickson handed over Ben Franklin to his son, Scott, years ago, and then sold his drug store in 2000. But a picture of Erickson still greets patrons at the drug store that bears his name. “I was actually at the store when they told me about his passing,� Bob Erickson said. “There was Jerry’s picture sitting on the counter and I reminisced about all the times I got so much more than a prescription from Jerry. He’ll be missed.� He is preceded in death by sister, Lois.

Farmington’s fire marshal determined the cause of fire was someone carelessly discarding smoking materials in the cold air return vent located in the corner of the bar. In April 2008, Kraus allegedly admitted to Dawn Paget, manager of the Farmington American Legion, that he was responsible for the fire, according to a criminal complaint. Lisa Janzen, Kraus’ defense attorney, called the fil-

ing of the charges a “rush to judgment,� maintaining her client’s innocence. Known by his close friends as the “magic man� who performed illusions and magic tricks, Kraus could not be contacted for comment on the verdict.

Opinion ECM Publishers’ policy is to accurately, fairly report news by Don Heinzman THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The Shirley Sherrod episode ought to be a wakeup call to all who seek fair and accurate information during this politically partisan media cultural frenzy we are experiencing. Sherrod was shamefully dragged through a process of being asked to resign after a conservative blogger, Andrew Breitbart, displayed part of a speech she’d given in 1986 at a NAACP convention. Breitbart presented her as a black woman who had spoken against the white race, which turned out to be false after her entire speech was scrutinized. In fact, the opposite was true, as Sherrod actually had helped a white farmer save his farm, a fact the

farmer and his wife corroborated. M a k ing matters worse, Fox News, the leading cable news station, hopped on the Breitbart video, using its team of Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck to vilify Sherrod and asked her to resign. Meanwhile, other bloggers chimed in and the story with its racist overtones lit up the airwaves, forcing the Secretary of Agriculture first to demand her resignation and subsequently to apologize for overreacting. President Barack Obama apologized to Sherrod and urged her to accept a new position.

Breitbart later admitted he’d misled the public, and O’Reilly apologized after realizing he’d acted hastily. The damage, however, had been done, and apologies notwithstanding, the public was left to wonder how Sherrod could have had her name dragged through the media mud so quickly. The Internet and 24hour, seven-days-a-week slanted news on cable television, along with partisan bloggers and on-air commentators, are dishing up media mush. In a democracy, it’s essential that the public trusts the sources of news which question and edit the facts according to acceptable journalistic standards – mainly fair

of which occurred almost 20 or more years ago, and his supposed support for more leniency in regard to the problem, that it spent $500,000 on attack ads. To be fair, Mark Dayton’s admitted drug and alcohol problems should also be brought up in this campaign, some of which occurred as recently as 2006 while he was still a senator. How do we know Dayton won’t relapse again? Will he push for leniency and legalization of certain street drugs? How can we be assured that a candidate with this baggage will really make “for a Better Minnesota”? All fair questions if you’re going to go negative like this. I ran into Tom Emmer before the Leprechaun Days parade today and shared my frustrations with these negative ads. He said he will keep it positive. Good for you, Tom! You’re a better man than I.

in power expects to make huge gains at the voting booth by attempting, by hook or by crook, to declare amnesty for these illegals. Our Constitution is trampled upon with impunity by government officials sworn to uphold the Constitution. Another point: We the people are bombarded with the assertion that more taxes will create more jobs. Logic, and experience, tell us that government spends our money, but is never actually able to create wealth except perhaps for government functionaries. Anybody in their right mind, and with integrity, knows that jobs encouraged by limited taxes are the only source of economic health. Creating a fertile environment for business is the beginning of prosperity. People with jobs pay taxes. Reducing the tax rate causes these people to spend more of their money. Taxes are a necessary evil, but are necessary to fund a limited government. The emphasis is on limited. Finally, we the people need to acknowledge that terrorism, by whatever name, cannot be tolerated, prevailing political correctness notwithstanding. Make no mistake, any incursion – no matter how insignificant it might appear – will have huge consequences. Finally it is hoped that everybody inclined to be gullible will reflect on what is in plain sight at the time we must decide at the voting booth. Do we want a government that will truly respect and abide by the Constitution or will we be swayed by promises of handouts?

and accurate reporting. Editors question, look for balance, correct and force rewrites of stories before they are printed and posted online. Cable news channels on both sides of the partisan divide slant the news, not only with what they elect to report but how they report it. Bloggers for the most part are unedited and are not always reliable sources, although they’ve been known to uncover important stories. Newspapers such as the St. Paul Pioneer Press, the Star Tribune and MinnPost, an online newspaper, are reliable local sources of news. The New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, USA Today and Time

and Newsweek magazines among others publish edited and for the most part reliable news. Local television and radio stations edit local news copy gathered by their staffs, the Associated Press and rewrites of local newspaper stories. The editors and reporters of ECM Publishers and other weekly community newspapers are trustworthy sources of news in your local communities. The ECM policy is to report fairly and accurately the news, while reserving the opinion pages for editorials and opinions, which also are researched and edited carefully. News and comments sent to us anonymously online are also judged according to journalistic

and acceptable letter-writing standards. Our editors reject those comments that fail to meet those standards. We live in a society where people tune into cable channels masquerading as news that fit their politically partisan point of view. This is dangerous for a free society which must cast an informed vote based on accurate and edited news and information. Don Heinzman is chairman of the ECM Publishers Inc. Editorial Board.

Letters More Minnesota losers in DFL race To the editor: How about some objective reporting and thinking, ECM Editorial Board? The DFL gubernatorial primary field consists of one of the five worst senators ever to appear in Washington, the husband of a lady who worked at the company involved in one of Minnesota’s biggest health care scandals and a farm girl who would subsidize everything in sight. Minnesota’s low unemployment rate has never been the product of DFL “nanny state” thinking but is anchored by its “captains of industry” and their productive staffs, plus independent counselors ready and able to make winners out of losers. I am very acquainted with John Gunyou’s work and philosophy, and he doesn’t come close to filling the bill. Minnesota doesn’t attract top people, electing Karl Rolvaag over Elmer L. Andersen and Al Franken over Norm Coleman, and sending long lists of 4-Fs and incapables to Congress and the Senate. Walter Mondale fit both categories neatly. He ran for president against a B-movie actor and was demolished. Many people that I meet from other parts of the country wonder where our thinking caps are. FRANKLIN M. WICKER Lakeville

Let the Dakota County Fair win you over this year by Kara Hildreth THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

This week Dakota County Fair will sell passports to fun welcoming the public to come out and play. I say the county fair is the perfect ending to summer and a chance to check out the best of the best in local competitions. Veteran, loyal fairgoers know why they return to the fair each year, but I want to appeal to those of you who have not attended the Dakota County Fair. You know who you are. My love for Dakota County Fair stems from my family tradition of growing up loving the Iowa State Fair. I can just hear all the folksy Iowa jokes, and that’s okay. I am ready to defend my love for the fair. My parents both grew up on Iowa farms in small towns. I loved hearing stories about farm life and how each summer ended with the county fair, where everyone gathered to celebrate the best of the best. I remember my cousins from a Mount Ayr farm would mail us newspaper clippings from the fair 4-H competitions that showed them smiling as they stood next to a horse or cow, usually holding a blue or red ribbon. This was the ultimate in cool for me growing up in Des Moines with only a corn field growing at the top of a hill in my back yard. My excitement and envy was not about the fair ribbons, but the adventure in caring for your own farm animal. As a youngster the fair was about carnival rides – the double Ferris wheel, the tunnel of love ride and the huge skyscraper slide. As an adolescent, the fair

was about meeting my friends and attending live rock concerts. My dad was the most loyal fairgoer who never missed an Iowa State Fair. He attended nearly every day in the last few years of his life, wearing his large straw hat to keep the sun off his face and away from his bald head as he walked with a fanny pack and an icy water bottle. My dad loved the photography in the arts building since that was his hobby. He also liked to investigate the varied industries building where he queried inventors and local business people about their line of work. When my dad passed away two years ago, my sister and I dedicated a permanent memorial in honor of my dad’s love for the Iowa State Fair. Today a black granite memorial stone sits prominently in a brick walkway leading up to the grandstand ticket office, engraved with the words: “Roger Smith loved the fair. Watch over us at the fair. Your family and friends love and miss you.” Carrying on the love of the fair to a new generation, my son loves the Dakota County Fair. He won two ribbons last year in the original Lego creation 4-H exhibit, and this year he is hard at work to top last year. He is also contemplating entering his homegrown vegetables from his garden plot at Dakota Kids junior master gardening camp. Seven years ago we bought a house in Farmington because of its close proximity to the fairgrounds, and now each summer our family gets our “fair fix” at Dakota County Fair. We admit there is no desire to ven-

ture out to the Minnesota State Fair. Like my dad, I like the arts building and each year I am amazed at the diverse talent in photography, fine art, painting, pottery and quilting. Like my dad, I take my time to study each color and black-and-white photograph on display to see why it is appealing and why I want to return for a closer look. I look forward to visiting the 4-H building and seeing the woodworking, sewing, gardening and even homemade pie and salsa recipe entries. Horses, cows, sheep and pigs take center stage in the 4-H barns. Stories of how each animal is worthy to show at the fair are posted with details of how each animal was cared for by a young boy or girl. I anticipate drinking the refreshing iced cup of lemonade made at Dakota City. The lemonade, made with homemade sweet sugar syrup, fresh lemons and lots of ice, is popular and sells well. This year I look forward to photographing the fair for the newspaper while looking for a good story waiting to be told. I anticipate family fair day when my family heads out to the fair to seek fun, frivolity and adventure. I challenge any fair skeptic to visit this year’s Dakota County Fair, which runs from Aug. 9-15, and let the fair win you over with the best in show of ingenuity, creativity and hard work.

Fairgoers can chill under tall trees in Dakota City with an ice cream cone, an old-fashioned root beer float or a slice of watermelon while listening to many free musical acts during the Dakota County Fair.

get out your dancing shoes to have a great time,� Hendricks said. The outdoor historical museum Dakota City will offer many free historical activities such as the daily popular tractor parade at 1 p.m. that starts by the drug store and runs through the village. A horseshoe pitching exhibition will take place at 1 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 15, at The Depot in Dakota City. “Dale Lipovsky, a threetime world champion and 27 time state champion for horse shoe pitching, will be at the exhibition,� Hendricks said. “We plan to give intergenerational entertainment during the fair,� Hendricks said. “Dakota City is a diamond in the rough out there and there are many folks that do not know about us and may enjoy learning about the past.� For more information on Dakota City Heritage Village entertainment, check out www.dakotacity. org.

County offers free well-water testing for nitrate at the fair Residents with private wells for drinking water can have their water tested for nitrate for free during the Dakota County Fair. Nitrate is the most common source of groundwater contamination. Testing will take place from 4 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 11, and Thursday, Aug. 12, in the Horticulture and Foods Building and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 14, in the 4-H Building. Test results will be available in minutes. Water samples may also be dropped off at the Horticulture and Foods Building anytime during building hours, Monday, Aug. 9, through Sunday, Aug. 15. Dakota County will test the samples and mail the results to well owners.

The testing service is not for residents who get home drinking water from a city water system. For testing, bring one cup of water in a small, clean bottle or jar to the nitrate clinic. Collect the water sample just before leaving for the fair. Clearly label samples from different wells. To check if a water treatment system, such as a reverse osmosis unit (not a water softener), is working properly to remove nitrate, bring samples marked before and after. Information for well owners about how to reduce or remove nitrate will also be available. For information about private wells, contact the Dakota County Water Resources Department at (952) 891-7000.

All dwellings advertised in this newspaper are available on an equal opportunity basis. We will not knowingly accept any advertisements that violate Federal or Minnesota laws dealing with discrimination in housing.

DFLers fight for right to take on well-funded Kline in November

trict, only 35 cents is spent here. Both DFLers oppose Kline’s no-earmark stance. Madore said she’s been visiting projects in counties across the district “that have been stalled because of a lack of federal funding from John Kline.� Powers said he’s been emphasizing energy independence on the campaign trail and that Madore has been “absent on this issue.� Energy independence offers “so many different areas we can work on for jobs,� Powers said. Madore said her campaign emphasis on infrastructure is resonating with people. “I’ve been very focused on presenting the voters my plan to beat John Kline. Where we are with regards to beating Dan Powers, I don’t know. It’s unfortunate that he’s just kind of hiding behind marching in parades.� Said Powers, “We’ll talk about the infrastructure needs in the district. I think there’s a lot we can do in Congress on the federal side. Shelly really hasn’t been around doing anything since April 10. All of a sudden she jumps in with this 35 Cent Tour in the last week and a half.� Madore said Powers has ducked her challenges to debate. Powers’ campaign manager, Mary Breitenstein, said the candidates have appeared on the same stage 17 times. Powers has been endorsed by the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 789 and the Minnesota Nurses Association. Madore has been endorsed by Education Minnesota.

Two area residents are battling each other for the right to run against a formidable foe, U.S. Rep. John Kline, in November’s election. Dan Powers of Burnsville, the endorsed Democratic candidate, is in a scrappy fight with former state Rep. Shelley Madore of Apple Valley, who is challenging Powers in an Aug. 10 DFL Party primary. The winner will face Kline, a Lakeville Republican who’s had a lock on the 2nd District congressional seat since first winning in 2002. Both candidates sought endorsement at the 2nd District DFL convention in April. Powers, who had announced his candidacy 10 months before, beat Madore, who entered the race in January. Madore, 47, entered the convention saying she’d honor its endorsement. But days later, the former District 37A state representative broke her pledge, complaining that Powers’ first-quarter fundraising numbers were anemic and that many DFLers had asked her to stay in the race. Madore raised more before the convention than Powers, but he leads now, having raised $81,542 through July 21, according to the Federal Election Commission. Madore had raised $42,139. Kline? $1.13 million. Powers claimed politicalaction committee and DFL Party donations in addition to $34,301 in individual donations and $35,100 from the candidate himself. Madore claimed no PAC or party contributions. “We have (fundraising)

goals. We haven’t quite been reaching them,� said Powers, 46, a former employee of Sela Roofing who has also worked as a private contractor and says running for Congress is now his full-time job. “It’s been slower because of the primary. A lot of (potential donors) were staying out until after the endorsement, and those people have been locking in.� After counting Powers’ PAC, party and personal funds, Madore claims that “his fundraising is worse than mine. I have over 240 people who have donated,� more than Powers, she said. Powers said the hard work he did to win convention delegates has continued in the primary race. “I’m doing these little town-hall meetings,� he said. “I’ve had over 40. I believe the number of parades now is over 25.� In coordination with the state party, his campaign has made “thousands and thousands of door-knocks and phone calls,� Powers said. “I think experience is the thing that separates us immensely,� said Madore, who won her state legislative seat in 2006 and was defeated in her first re-election bid by Republican Tara Mack. “It’s not just a little bit, it’s a lot.� Madore said that on July 1 she kicked off her “35 Cent Tour,� a shot at Kline for his stand against seeking congressional earmarks for his district.

Time trials in Eureka bring out the best by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Silver Cycling is back at a new location. Among the cornfields in southern Dakota County on July 29, Silver Cycling sponsored an 8.2 mile Farmdog time trial bike race. The course was a “T” configuration starting at the Eureka Town Hall. The raced featured men and women from 12 to 66 years old. The team has run these types of races for the past decade but changed the location to Eureka Township. Over the past 10 years the team used Black Dog Road in Burnsville, which has since been closed because of flooding in the spring. The new venue is farther south, but the team’s first race attracted about 80 individuals. The final two time trials will be at 7 p.m. Aug. 11 and 25. They normally

Food, family and baseball; just the way Corky liked it Burnsville Bulldogs family and friends gather to honor former teammate who died in January by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

For the Burnsville Bulldogs baseball team, the terms “team” and “family” are synonymous. So when one of their families needed some support, the team stepped up to the plate. Teammate Glen “Corky” Miklya’s sudden death in December at age 52 left a Corky-sized hole in center field and at the Miklya family picnic table. There’s no way anything could ever replace what Miklya brought to the Bulldogs and to his family, but they have made sure no one will ever forget him. A memorial was built at Alimagnet Field where Corky spent much of his time in the dugout and behind a grill.

The Bulldogs were host to a fan and family appreciation night on Sunday during a game against Miesville. They officially unveiled a brick and granite memorial for Miklya, who played for the 35-and-older baseball team for 17 years. The memorial is strategically placed where grills usually go for concessions and post-game cookouts as Corky was considered the grill master to all who knew him. The top of the memorial can serve as a place to put the grill creations along with all the food other family members brought to share. His brothers, Tom and Rodney Miklya, did the brick work and the Bulldogs put it together. Teammate Dan Gilbertson was

Dance team fans are passionate by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

I asked last week what readers though of dance teams’ coverage and whether it belongs on the sports page. The answers ranged from the deeply offended to the rather informative. Some said, “No, it’s not a sport” and some said, “It’s the most important sport.” Most admitted it was not a traditional sport, but deserved coverage regardless. Some even threatened me with trying out for dance team. One common theme was that dance line participants are athletic and spend hours every day perfecting their routines. It takes a lot of passion and physical work to pull it off. For some reason, people took the column as a slight against the effort and dedication dance team members endure, even though I wrote about how much I respect their dedication and effort. At Thisweek, our goal is to provide information you can’t get any where else, and the sports section isn’t just for fans. Every year after the state tournament, we print dozens of pictures and put

North Babe Ruth second at regionals The Lakeville North Senior Babe Ruth baseball team placed second in the Midwest Plains Regional Babe Ruth Tournament in Wellington, Kan., from July 23 to 27. They earned a berth in this tournament by beating Eastview in the Minnesota State Senior Babe Ruth tournament July 18 in Eden Prairie. After going 3-0 in the Regional tournament, the team lost two hard-fought games in the finals to Ottumwa, Iowa. Lakeville North finished as one of the final 16 teams in the nation.

instrumental in getting the proposal cleared with the city. There was no cost to the city as 100 percent of the work and materials was donated. “It’s been tough since he left us,” Tom Miklya said. “Baseball was his passion. His second family was with the Bulldogs. He always looked forward to getting together with the players. “They’re a bunch of diehards who love to play the game.” The Bulldogs play in the North Star Classic Baseball League and won the 2009 championship. The players rage in age from 36 to 70 and they come from all over the south metro. “When I was younger I used to sneak into the dugout and put on a hat and

pretend I was part of the team,” Corky’s son, Kyle, said during the post-game celebration Sunday. Baseball often took a backseat to what really matters. “It’s doesn’t always have to be about the game,” Kyle said. “Sometimes they would come here just to catch up with each other.” Kyle and his sister, Lindsey, still interact with members of the Bulldogs. Team members will text Kyle during the school year to make sure he’s staying on task. Bulldog member John Rausch got Kyle a job with the city for the summers. “They’re like our crazy uncles,” Lindsey said. Players come from all walks of life. There’s a chief financial officer, a retired Burnsville police officer, a

pharmacist, Burnsville city worker among others. The common bond is baseball and it’s strong enough to hold together a family. They get together in the offseason for Christmas and other regular family events like births, weddings and, unfortunately, funerals. Raucsh, the 69-yard year old Bulldog pitcher, was one of the players who spoke at Corky’s service. “He was like a little brother to me,” Rausch said. “He was the guy the team could pick on and he would always take it in stride. He was the guy who cared about everyone before himself.” Andy Rogers is at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Eagan American Legion baseball team continues thrilling season by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The Eagan Patriots American Legion baseball team wasn’t the favorite to even be at the state tournament last weekend. The team had the No. 8 seed in the Third District tournament in mid July, but finished as the second runner-up with a ticket to the American Legion District I state tournament last weekend as the lowestranked team still playing. Some teams would be happy with that, but Eagan had bigger things in mind. First, the team put the rankings and seedings out of their minds. “They’re confident of their ability,” head coach Kevin Nagel said. “They were rated high in high school and they started the legion season ranked pretty high. They say they don’t look at the polls. I think they felt they should have been ranked higher and should have had a better record during the season.” The Patriots were the

runner-up at the state tournament by beating teams such as Excelsior and Eastview along the way. “We hit the ball well and played good defense,” Nagel said. “The only hiccup we ran into was Eden Prairie twice.” After losing to Eden Prairie once, Eagan had to come through the losers’ bracket and win five games to advance. The second-place finish gave Eagan the right to play in the Great Lakes Regional in Matoon, Ill., from Thursday to Monday. It’s the first regional berth in team history. “It’s exciting,” Nagel said. “They didn’t celebrate like I thought they would. To be honest the kids were exhausted.” They’re excited now after a few days of rest. The team left for Illinois at 3 a.m. on Wednesday. “They’re all psyched,” Nagel said. Eagan went 5-2 at the state tournament. The team secured a spot at a

regional tournament with a 14-8 win against Excelsior in the semifinals. Eagan jumped out to a 7-1 lead, but Excelsior closed to gap to 7-6 a few innings later. Eagan put up six more runs in the seventh inning thanks to home runs by Zack Zenner and Garrison Harris. Neal Kunik continued his undefeated streak (7-0 in high school and 6-0 in Legion) to get the win. Louie LaChapelle and J.D. Dorgan each had three RBI. The championship game didn’t go as well losing to Eden Prairie 28-5. Eden Prairie will represent Minnesota at the Central Plains Regional Tournament in Missouri this weekend. The champion of both the Great Lakes and Central Plains regional tournaments will advance to the Legion World Series in Spokane, Wash., August 13-17. Andy Rogers is at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The senior center remodeling project named the “Rambling River Center’s Magnificent Makeover� earned an Award of Excellence Monday from the Minnesota Recreation and Park Association. Randy Distad, director of Farmington parks and recreation, received the award at the Aug. 2 City Council meeting. Jill Anfang, awards committee member from the city of Roseville parks department, presented the city a plaque. “We thought about ‘Extreme Makeover,’ but that name was already taken,� said Distad, who found out in early summer that his nomination was selected for the award. “The awards committee was impressed by the level of partnerships, the scope of improvements, the volunteers and the fundrais-

ing spirit and the concise timeline demonstrated by this project,� Anfang said. In October 2009 the new Rambling River Center in downtown Farmington opened its doors in the former City Hall building. More than 2,243 volunteer hours on the project came from seniors and community members. Many donations from businesses and residents were given, including the naming rights for many rooms, which raised $24,500. The senior building remodel project included new interior and exterior paint, installation of hardwood flooring and carpet, fire alarm and sprinkler systems, a new security system, new TV equipment, and replacement of heating, ventilation and air Kara Hildreth is at farmingconditioning equipment.
