Farmington Council delays staff-cutting budget option Development dive takes city budget along for a ride by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Anxiety-ridden Farmington City Council members on Oct. 4 delayed a staff-cutting decision for further debate at the Monday budget workshop. Several council members said they have lost sleep over the significance of determining ways to shave about $400,000 from the 2011 budget and a proposal to cut one or two management positions in that effort. Cuts are needed primarily because $534,091 in bond payments are due on a $5.5 million bond that built Vermillion River Crossing infrastructure in 2006, just before the real estate market collapsed. Plans were for the escalating payments to be met through commercial development expected at the site, including hotels and retail shops. But the actual development that occurred consisted of few buildings, including McDonald’s and a medical clinic. According to the bond terms, if funds generated by development were insufficient, as they have been, the city must use all available funds and/or raise taxes as much as required to cover the payments.

During the meeting, Mayor Todd Larson said everyone thought former Finance Director Robin Roland had a plan to pay for the bonds, but discovered after she left that was not true. And, according to Finance Director Teresa Walters, the city’s total debt is

about $40 million. Considering the city’s position regarding the bonds, Council Member Julie May said tax increases and cuts are likely; for 2011 the city has planned a 3.73 percent levy increase, totalling about $9.1 million. A final decision will be See Budget, 5A

Citizens, City Council candidates quiz city officials, board Concerns include budget, seal coating by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Farmington City Council members were peppered with tough questions by city council candidates and others during public comment period, Oct. 4. City Council candidates Dave Pritzlaff and Jerry Ristow, both former board members, and in Ristow’s case also a former mayor, were joined by several business owners in questioning a variety of city spending and budget decisions. Collin Garvey, a concrete contractor, cited concerns about city discussions to raise $400,000 annually by

charging properties franchise fees on utilities to cover seal coating projects. Previosuly, the city would assess half the cost to property owners and the other half came out of the city’s road and bridge fund. Now that fund has been depleated. Garvey questioned why the city needed so much money when the most the city ever spent on seal coating in a year was about $200,000. “We’ve never had $400,000 in seal coating done in this town,� he said, calling the figure toally erroneous.

Unofficial ‘queen’ of Lakeville, Charolette Vucinovich, dies Charolette helped found Lakeville Lionesses, community’s Boy and Girl Scout programs by Derrick Williams THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

During Charolette Vucinovich’s Oct. 2 funeral, a group of women from Lakeville’s VFW Post shared a story that made her son, Brian, laugh. A few years ago, the ladies were working with Charolette at a Special Olympics event at one of Lakeville’s parks, Brian recalled of the story.

“A p p a r ently, one of the kids, he was dejected. He hadn’t done so well in what he Charolette c o m p e t e d Vucinovich in,� Brian, 58, said. “Well, these ladies described how Mom gave him this big hug. Told him he had done great. Well,

another kid that also didn’t do so well had seen this big hug, so he walked up to Charolette and got his hug. All of a sudden, there was a line of 10 kids looking to get hugs.� And that, Brian said, illustrates one of Charolette’s lasting legacies. “She was always smiling and always giving out love,� he said. “She never See Vucinovich, 5A

Will Steger, Pedal the Parks help showcase environment Lakeville Friends of the Environment hosts second annual Pedal the Parks to highlight Casperson Park by Derrick Williams THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

In 2007, a group of residents teamed up to form the Lakeville Friends of the Environment. And while many of the 25 or so residents that form the group have concerns about the environment, their mission is much more simple than dealing with global warming and carbon emissions. “We’re interested in preserving and improving the quality of the environment right here in Lakeville,� said Debbie Nelson, one of the group’s founding members. “Individually, we’re concerned about the big picture, I’m sure, but as a group we center our thoughts on Lakeville.� From cleaning North Creek near North Park to storm drain stenciling to providing toxic toy testing during an annual event, Nelson, 54, said the group does what it can to keep Lakeville’s environment clean and beautiful. “We love Lakeville and love the environment. It’s not really a political thing,� she said. And Nelson said you can’t think about the environment in Lakeville without thinking about the community’s

parks and trails. “What we have here is wonderful and should be celebrated,� Nelson Will Steger said. That’s one of the chief reasons the group will be hosting the second annual Pedal the Parks event at 1 p.m. on Oct. 10 at Casperson Park. “We’re trying to showcase our parks. We want to celebrate our parks and trails,� said Nelson. “It’s also meant to bring awareness of the beauty around us and what we can do to maintain it and make it better.� And the group is generating some fanfare with the event. Noted Arctic explorer Will Steger will be guest speaking at the event. “He came and spoke for us at an event in 2007 and we had more than 600 people come,� Nelson said. In addition to Steger, there will be a three- and 10-mile bike ride through Casperson Park, bike safety checks, music and food. While the event is free, Nelson said a $10 per family donation is encouraged.

“We’re trying to raise some awareness about bikes as an alternative form of transportation,� Nelson said. “You can get there from here on a bike.� Nelson said Diane Craig, a local bike rider, will be speaking at the event to talk about how she uses her bike as a primary mode of transportation. Nelson said the event is designed to coincide with Oct. 10 (10-10-10) being a global day of environment action. “Almost 180 countries in the world have something going on,� Nelson said. “It’s great that we can participate in something that big here in our community.� Nelson said the Bike Alliance of Minnesota is a partner for the event. Participants are encouraged to arrive at Casperson Park, located at 19720 Juno Trail, at 1 p.m. to register for the ride. Steger will speak at 1:30 p.m. For more information, the Lakeville Friends of the Environment can be found on Facebook.com, or people can call (952) 250-3320.

Lakeville ‘maverick’ to be featured in documentary Software consulting firm’s business model relies entirely on college students by Jessica Harper THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Martin Hebig may look like a typical computer geek, but he’s a true maverick who dares to sidestep the norm. The Lakeville resident built an entire business model around convincing Fortune 500 companies to trust college students with their software consulting. Maverick Software Consulting exclusively employs computer science students to test and develop software for its only client, Thomson Reuters in Eagan. “It’s rewarding to see how the job experience can change students’ lives,� Hebig said. This unique business model caught the attention of bestselling author and documentary filmmaker Robert Cringely, who will feature Maverick Software Consulting in his upcoming

Martin Hebig, founder and president of Maverick Software Consulting, built his business model around the concept of hiring exclusively college students to provide IT consulting for its clients. To date, the company has one client – Thomson Reuters.

PBS documentary, “The Cringely 2010 (Not in Silicon Valley) Startup Tour.� The documentary features startup companies from across the nation and is scheduled to air in January. Cringely is the author of the best-selling book “Accidental Empires: How the Boys of Silicon Valley Make Their Millions, Battle Foreign Competition and Still Can’t Get a Date.� His work has also appeared in the New York Times, Newsweek, Forbes, and other magazines. On his blog, Cringely describes Maverick’s business model as “an amazing one ... — one that employs American programmers yet meets or beats the cost of using programmers in India or China.� Although Maverick Software Consulting has only one client, Hebig has successfully made his

company a profitable venture. The company is currently working on a deal to add a second client, Hebig said. Maverick currently has 80 students working out of four offices — three at University of Minnesota campuses and one at the University of WisconsinMadison. Each office generates about $1 million in annual revenue, Hebig said. Hebig describes the partnership as a win-win for both Thomson Reuters and the students. At $25 an hour, it provides Thomson Reuters with information technology services at a cheaper rate than offshore services charge. At the same time, it gives students the real-world experience that will give them a competitive edge in the job marSee Maverick, 5A

District 192 no longer employs communications specialist by Kara Hildreth THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

distributed by District 192 will continue, along with the district’s website, Weymouth said. “The district will continue to provide outstanding communications with the public about the schools,� she said. Several district administrative staff will be performing the communication specialist’s duties, such as posting of news and notices on the district web site. Weymouth said she would personally be doing some of the work, along with others in the district

administrative office. School Board Chair Veronica Walter said the lack of a communications specialist is “definitely not long-term, but we’re covering our bases . . . and getting through the next month or so, and then we will have a discussion on where we can go with the position.� To make this type of staffing change is not easy, she said. “I will say this is never a situation that is entered into lightheartedly.�

In a written statement, he said: “I’m thankful for the opportunity I’ve had to learn about school communica-

I’ve seen how important a strong community relations program is in terms of building trust and support among residents and staff, especially in these very uncertain times for public schools throughout Minnesota.� Weymouth said the decision was not based on cost savings associated with staff cuts and the district is likely to keep the position. “A decision has not been made firmly,� she said.

District 917 helps to reopen food counter in county building

Vending machines have been the staple for about a decade by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

In November, School District 917 is planning to reopen the cafeteria at the Dakota County Judicial Center in Hastings, which has been closed for about a decade. The college would partner with Hastings High School to allow students there to work with a local chef from the college during the school year. On Sept. 28, school representatives were at the county’s administrative center to evaluate the dining set up. It has already been determined that the 1970s orange

shag carpet will be replaced, said County Administrator Brandt Richardson. The restaurant is anticipated to be open from Memorial Day to Labor Day, depending on whether the program can be self-supporting. The type of meals served and its operating hours may vary as they test out response to the service. “We will reevaluate this after six months to see if it’s working for them and us. If it is, great. We’ll take a look at other opportunities to help improve the space,� said Taud Hoopingarner, Operations Management director.

County Commissioner Kathleen Gaylord said the food service would be a benefit to people serving jury duty, who only have vending machine food available to them in the building. “It’s horrible. As a practicing attorney, I used to come in and I really appreciated having that cafeteria available. Now all you get is vending machines, and it’s not nearly what it used to be,� agreed Commissioner Tom Egan. Hoopingarner said old equipment has been discarded and the area has received state approval for a kitchen to reopen. “It’s kind of a win-win

situation. They get to try and opportunity with respect to their students. It doesn’t cost us anything to put this in place initially, except for some replacement of carpeting and minor sprucing up. And, we have an opportunity to provide a service to our employees, the courts‌and jurors,� Hoopingarner said. Laura Adelmann is at dceditor@frontiernet.net.

Lakeville Council thanked for Yellow Ribbon effort by Derrick Williams THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

On Sept. 22, Lakeville was officially designated by Gov. Tim Pawlenty as a Yellow Ribbon community. D u r i n g the Oct. 4 City Council meeting, L a k e v i l l e ’s City Council heard a report from Lt. Col. Barb O’Reilly with the Minnesota National Guard, and Lakeville Police Sgt. Andy Bohlen, a co-chair for Lakeville’s Beyond the Ye l l o w Ribbon campaign. The report was an opportunity for those in-

volved to give thanks for the support the City Council offered in becoming a Yellow Ribbon community. “Having this network in place gives service members peace of mind,� O’Reilly said. “These men and women are relieved when they come home to a community that says ‘welcome.’ � Lakeville is home to more than 100 active duty service men and women, most of whom are currently deployed or are home a f t e r one or more trips t o Iraq or Afghani- stan. Lakeville, in becoming a Yellow Ribbon community, set up a network of resources for veterans,

the nationally recognized Beyond the Yellow Ribbon program in hopes of changing how veterans are reintegrated back into their communities. On a state level, the National Guard honors cities that create a multipronged and sustainable community support

structure for veterans and their families, designating such cities as Yellow Ribbon cities, Bohlen said. For more information, visit www.lakevilleveterans.com. E-mail Derrick Williams at: lakeville.thisweek@ecm-inc. com

I’m not going to recommend what one, two, three council members would suggest to me, because that has happened in the last couple budget sessions ‌ I don’t wish to argue with the council, but I have my own ethical standards I’m going to go with too. If it’s going to be my recommendation, it really has to be my recommendation, not what has been told to me by someone else,â€? he said. Larson said Herlofsky has to recommend the reductions, and was confused by the administrator’s request for suggestions. “We just maybe have to get on the same page,â€? Larson said.

“The franchise fees you’re talking about is still under review‌it’s not a done deal,â€? Larson said. Council Member Steve Wilson said he voted against franchise fees and does not support them. Ristow raised concerns about the road and bridge fund as well. “What happened to all the money?â€? he said, noting that the fund at one time had $2 million to $4 million in it. “Has it been used properly?â€? Ristow asked. Larson asked City Administrator Peter Herlofsky to take notes and provide answers to Ristow’s questions at a future meeting. Pritzlaff asked staff and the council to reveal which two staff positions equaling a $130,000 budget cut are being proposed to be eliminated. The option was brought forward a month ago, in addition to board’s consid-

Quiz/from 1A City Engineer Kevin Schorzman said he arrived at the figure using a mathematical forumla based on 2010 costs and inflated by five percent annually. Garvey said in seven years the city will have collected $2.8 million. “I think what you’re trying to do is create another fund,� he said. Garvey also questioned why the city would use the road and bridge fund for a trail on the west side of County Road 31 that was supposed to be for seal coating. “If you know your fund’s going dry, why would you use it on a trail if it’s supposed to go for seal coating?� Mayor Todd Larson said the trail is the city’s responsiblity, and Council Member Christy Jo Fogherty said the fund isn’t exclusive to seal coating.

eration of eliminating from the budget the positions of economic development specialist and administrative services director. Pritzlaff cited concerns about how not naming the positions affects staff morale. “If these positions are actually going to be cut, they’re losing opportunities to look for other jobs. And‌it’s the morale of the city down here that’s not working very well,â€? Pritzlaff said. Larson said the information is confidential, and the council doesn’t even know the answer. City Attorney Andrea Poehler said a recommendation hasn’t been made yet, and so that is why the information is not public. “That will be something we bring forward in the future,â€? she said. Laura Adelmann is at dceditor@frontiernet.net.

Budget/from 1A made in December. The council can reduce the proposed levy but can’t increase it. To make budget cuts, council members last week proposed two positions be eliminated: the economic development specialist, charged with attracting business among other duties, and administrative services director, with responsibilities that include running elections. City Administrator Peter Herlofsky opposed cutting those positions. Instead, staff’s recommendation is to make the $400,000 budget cuts by reducing office supplies and professional services. Council members indicated job cuts are the only way to solve the problem. “We’re looking for a longterm fix. We’re just not looking for a short-term, let’s put Maverick/from 1A

“From what Dad said, they expected to move on, but they both fell in love with Lakeville,� Brian said. “They loved the people.� Charolette, who went to school to become a school teacher as well, didn’t take long to begin sowing roots in the community. “I think she wanted to make a better place for their kids,� JoAnn, 58, said. “‘Let’s do this, let’s get this started and make things better for the children.’ I think that’s what she was thinking.� Charolette was a charter member of the Lakeville Lionesses, helped launch Lakeville Boy Scout and Girl Scout programs, as well as the VFW Auxiliary, and even helped create the first private kindergarten program in the community. Charolette was active with All Saints Catholic Church, and served on “just about every committee they had,� JoAnn said. She was also the first president of American Foreign Students Abroad, a grand champion china painter and was once named Dakota County Senior Citizen of the Year, and a Pan-O-Prog parade grand marshal. “She was a queen — the queen of Lakeville,� JoAnn said. “We’d be

JoAnn Vucinovich, Brian’s wife, described Charolette as one of Lakeville’s first ambassadors. “It’s amazing how many people have said she was the first person they met when they came to Lakeville,� JoAnn said. And that’s in part because Charolette and her late husband, Tom Vucinovich, were well known as the longtime owners of downtown Lakeville’s popular ice cream stand, the Taystee Freez. “Both of them would greet you with a smile and some good food,� Brian said. The stand is now owned by Dakota County Commissioner Paul Krause and is called Dairy Delite. Charolette was born in 1920 in Windom, Minn., and Brian said she was raised with a drive to serve. In 1943, she married Tom, before he headed off to war. Tom was an educator after the war, and Brian said he and Charolette moved to Lakeville in 1948 to follow one of his jobs.

out to dinner and people would line up to talk to her. You really felt that you were with royalty sometimes.� While Tom, a former principal at JFK Elementary School, died in 2004, Charolette remained very active. “She was tireless. She never sat down. She was always active doing something,� Brian said. Most recently, Charolette was living in Lakeville’s Highview Hills senior living complex with a goal of making it to her 90th birthday, which she celebrated on Sept. 20. “But she told us after the party that she was ready to see Tom,� JoAnn said. Brian said the community and his family will miss Charolette. “She was a fantastic mother and a great ambassador for Lakeville,� he said. “She cared about everybody.� Charolette is survived by her children, Thomas Vucinovich, Mary Jane (Darvin) Schauer, Brian (JoAnn) Vucinovich, Elizabeth “Libby� (Keith) Johnson and Brenda (Mike) Herald, her 11 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

ket, Hebig said. It was this experience that attracted Zac Bleninger, a 22-year-old IT student at Minnesota State UniversityMankato. “A lot of jobs require experience in program language and technology,� Bleninger said. “I now have almost two years of real work experience. This gives me a big edge over those who have nothing but academic experience.� Bleninger said he also likes the pay and flexible hours and that the office is close to his college campus. Each consultant works about 20 hours per week during the academic year and 40 hours in the summer. Pay ranges from $12 to $13.50 an hour depending upon the market.

a Band-Aid on it,â€? Larson said. “That was really the vision we gave staff and we didn’t get that back ‌ so now unfortunately we have to take matters into our own hands ‌ so that’s what we’re doing as far as staff reductions.â€? Herlofsky said he asked for council input to see if they would be willing to reduce positions and trust him to make those decisions. “I’m at a real disadvantage if I come in and say, ‘Here, remove these two. This will take care of it,’ and the council says, ‘No, come back again with another two.’ That really creates some morale issues, and makes my effectiveness and the effectiveness of the council really difficult,â€? he said. Herlofsky said he’s concerned about morale and the level of oversight he’s received from some council members. After graduating with a degree in computer science, Hebig founded Maverick Software Consulting in 1999 — naming it after his alma mater’s sports team. He ran the company as an independent consultant for corporations such as Cargill and GMAC until selling a portion of it in 2006 to Sherwood, who serves as vice president. When the partnership between IBM and the university ended, U of M-Mankato’s computer science department began looking to Thomson Reuters as a potential partner. Thomson Reuters liked the idea but didn’t want to pay the overhead, Hebig said. Hebig and Sherwood caught wind of this and offered to set up and manage an

office for Thomson Reuters. The company agreed. “It was exciting to start my own company and be able to work with some of the best computer science students and do something different,� Hebig said. As Maverick Software Consulting heads into its 12th year in business, Hebig looks to expand it nationwide. In his blog, Cringley said he sees potential in this endeavor. “If they can scale the business the way they think they can, there’s nothing that says the founders won’t soon be paying themselves a bootload of money while remaining mavericks — unbranded,� Cringley wrote. E-mail Jessica Harper at: jessica.harper@ecm-inc.com

This business model was inspired by a similar partnership between Hebig’s alma mater, Minnesota State University-Mankato, and IBM. The company hired students to test its then-new operating system. Hebig and his business partner, Chuck Sherwood, were among those participating.

The setting was perfect: the newest community arts center in Dakota County. And the spirit of cooperation among artsy folks gathered at the Steeple Center in Rosemount suggested something is going to get done about bringing the county’s arts organizations onto the same page. On Tuesday afternoon, about 40 arts leaders were brought together by LaDonna Boyd, economic development director for Dakota Electric, to consider the creation of a Dakota County Arts Collaborative. I was privileged to moderate a panel of experts who led the discussion. Those who have paid attention to this space know how I feel about the subject: The arts should cooperate, not compete, or all organizations will suffer. For those who haven’t paid attention, here’s what’s going on:

As Dakota County grows, our arts community is growing as well. We have performing arts going on at many public and private venues, including arts centers in Lakeville and Burnsville, Eagan’s Caponi Art Park and the newly renovated St. Joseph Catholic Church in Rosemount, where Tuesday’s meeting was held. In addition to those centers, Boyd identified about 60 arts organizations in the county ranging from the Dakota Valley Symphony to the Chameleon Theatre Circle to the Eagan Men’s Chorus. They all want and deserve support in the form of grants and audiences. But if they all schedule big events the same night, they split the arts audience into small pieces. What would happen if they coordinated their programming so drama lovers don’t have to choose between a performance by Expressions community the-

ater in Lakeville and Chameleon Theatre Circle in Burnsville on the same night? Ann Mosey, executive director of the Northfield Arts Guild and one of Tuesday’s panelists, said the arts folks in Northfield have united into an arts collaborative so that kind of competition can be avoided. The city created an Arts and Cultural Commission to work with the collaborative consisting of the many arts groups in that culture-crazed city. Among the accomplishments, besides regular discussions about common concerns, is a website that will allow coordination of programming to avoid big events going head-to-head. Another panelist provided a Dakota County model that might be adopted by county arts folks. Amie Burill, executive director of the Burnsville Convention & Visitors Bureau, talked about a collaboration among CVBs in the county to produce a magazine and pool advertising dollars

to attract visitors to the area. She said the convention and visitors collaboration has been going strong since 1995. “We are able to pool our dollars to have much larger impact,” Burill said. “People who come to our town don’t understand the borders” between communities. The panel was followed by breakouts focused on such areas of interest as marketing, public relations, fundraising, technology and facilities. Those breakout groups came up with many ideas, such as a common calendar and a “south arts website” that will be examined by a steering committee that was recruited from among those who participated. When Boyd asked the group whether a collaborative was a good idea, heads nodded, and the Dakota Electric dynamo pledged to charge ahead with plans to make it happen. Not only was there energy in the room from Boyd and about 40 other arts leaders, there was also

a representative from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council (MRAC). She suggested that the grant-making MRAC might have funds available for hiring a consultant to work with the steering committee on an action plan. Mosey said the best advice she can give to those who want to create a collaborative is to avoid another large gathering like Tuesday’s in Rosemount. One large-group discussion is good, she said. Artsy folks love to talk about possibilities. It takes another kind of personality to do something concrete with those ideas. Fortunately, Dakota County has such a personality. Her name is LaDonna Boyd. Larry Werner is editor and general manager of the Dakota County Tribune and Thisweek Newspapers. He can be reached at larry. werner@ecm-inc.com.

Lakeville Schools’ history of fiscal prudence

School levy will be a sizable tax

Over the past two years, every school employee group in the district, teachers, administration, custodians, clerical, paraprofessionals, and cooks have worked in collaboration with the board to help resolve the fiscal challenges. This all has been done in the spirit of protecting students and their futures while waiting to put the question before local voters on Nov. 2. Without additional resources, the current system of demonstrated excellence is unsustainable; the future dreams of our students are at risk. We urge you support students with your vote on Nov. 2.

Supports Wilson for City Council To the editor: I am writing to share my thoughts about why I am voting to re-elect Steve Wilson to the Farmington City Council. Wilson is someone who truly works for the greater good of Farmington. He bases his decisions on rational thinking fused with empathy, tenacity and forward thinking of what a livable community is all about. Right now the city is in a quandary about how to balance a budget that appears to be getting harder to balance because of the economy and the council’s desire to keep any tax increase for residents as low as possible. To balance the budget Wilson and other council members are faced with making a hard choice of possibly eliminating positions, and a tough choice that is. As a former employee of the city of Farmington, I can attest to Wilson’s sound

I know Wilson is the person to do the job and make the tough decisions. He will look at what’s best for Farmington and I trust his decisions will be well thought out. He’s a great person to have as our representative on City Council. He’s trustworthy, dependable, responsive and someone you can depend on to represent you fairly. It’s just what he does and he gets it. PATTI NORMAN Farmington

Supports Dahl for mayor To the editor: I’ve lived in Lakeville more than 20 years and have seen more changes than I ever dreamed possible. Until the last few years, I didn’t like most of the changes being made. I am a staunch supporter of term limits for our politicians but because they aren’t willing to enact such a rule, I impose my own by refusing to vote for an incumbent. I figure that if whoever is in office hasn’t done something to make me want to keep them, why should I? I keep hoping the next politician will do better. I’ve broken my rule only once in my life and that was to re-elect Holly Dahl as Lakeville city mayor during the last election and I intend to do so again. Her ability to work with others without caving in to new taxes/fees or other restrictions (for example, our governor’s “no new taxes” pledge) has impressed me. Lakeville’s quality of life is so much better these last few years and while the City Council has had a hand in it, I give credit where it’s due. Dahl’s role as mayor is one of leadership. She has demonstrated integrity and strength beyond that of any

politician I’ve ever voted for as can be seen in her private life – dealing with issues in her family that would cripple many of us. She has been more active in civic activities than any of her predecessors, has faithfully performed her duties and with rare exception, has been where she was supposed to be (excepted only due to family emergencies – never selfish agendas). She has been the best mayor Lakeville has ever had. WAYNE LEWIS Lakeville

Thanks for supporting Kyle Malin and family To the editor: Thank you. Two small words that mean so much. Where to start? It’s impossible to thank everyone around you who has come together for one main reason: to support Kyle Malin and his family. Kyle, in the Army since graduating from Farmington High School in 2002, was on his fourth tour of duty. On July 12, while on foot patrol in Afghanistan, he was severely injured when an IED exploded, taking both his legs and inflicting several other serious injuries. Kyle is currently recovering and rehabilitating at Brooke Army Medical Center and the Center for the Intrepid in San Antonio, Texas. His wife, Alicia, and two young sons have joined him at Ft. Sam Houston where they will be living during his commitment to the Army. A benefit was held on Sept. 18 at Heritage Links Golf Course in Lakeville. Family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, community, businesses and even complete strangers rallied together to help with the benefit with door-to-door searches for silent auction donations, and door prizes to be given away, only to help make sure that his benefit was a huge success.

Kyle will be back in Minnesota next spring and hoping to see everyone who has helped support him – sent him get-well wishes, cards, prayers, monetary gifts, help with his family, etc. –just to tell them thank you in person. It’s impossible to thank everyone, but you have to try. You need to act as if what you do makes a difference, because it does. Kyle is progressing daily. His attitude is amazing and the support has definitely been felt by the entire family. JON and DEB MALIN Lakeville

Supports Thompson for state Senate To the editor: The elections are coming up soon and we need someone to represent us in the state Senate. I would like to suggest Dave Thompson (www.davethompsonforsenate.com). He was endorsed by the retiring senator (Pat Pariseau) and we need another common-sense voice in St. Paul, especially in this lousy economy. Just look at the housing market. If you look at foreclosures in Dakota County you will see Farmington and Randolph at the far end of the high category with Lakeville nipping at their heels. Just look at the Realtytrac website (www.realtytrac.com/trendcenter). Thompson said it best on his website: “Minnesota’s economy, just like the U.S. economy, will thrive as a result of job creation in the private sector, not growth of the public sector. ‘Tax the rich’ schemes do not work. Successful business owners are the job creators.” Thompson understands that government deficits and spending do not mean real jobs for real people. Government has to get out of the way and stop the out-ofcontrol spending. TAMARA ERICKSON Lakeville

Thisweekend Historian: Rosemount was a haven for hobos John Loch uncovers lost chapter of city’s history; will present findings Oct. 12 at Robert Trail Library by Andrew Miller THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

At first, John Loch couldn’t make heads or tails of all the references to the “Depot Hotel� he was coming across. Since the mid-1990s, the retired pharmacist and vice president of the Rosemount Area Historical Society has been poring through microfiche files of old newspaper clippings at the Wescott Library in Eagan to learn more about Rosemount’s history. For four months in 1915, the Dakota County Tribune was peppered with vague references to the Depot Hotel. Loch hadn’t ever heard of such a lodging in Rosemount, and interviews with other local history buffs turned up nothing. A mention in one of the news clips of “rooms to rent in box cars,� along with short items about the IWW – a radical union working on behalf of migratory workers – suggested a solution to this historical mystery. It turns out the Depot Hotel didn’t have room service – or even running

water. Fresh linens? Forget about it. “All of a sudden I realized what was going on – there was a hobo camp in Rosemount,� Loch said. “We had two main railroads coming through at the time, and it would be very logical there would be a lot of hobos.� Loch went on to interview several elderly residents, who confirmed that Rosemount did in fact have a hobo presence for a time. It seems the Depot Hotel was a short-lived phenomenon, however. The first reference Loch found was in March 1915; in mid-June of that year, the Dakota County Tribune printed the following news brief: “The Depot Hotel has been temporarily closed on account of night clerk Affeldt having a crippled leg and unable to keep the rooms in shape.� As far as Loch can tell, it wasn’t just a temporary closure, as that’s the last mention he’s found of the Depot Hotel in the newspaper’s archives.

IN BRIEF John Loch and other members of the Rosemount Area Historical Society will present a talk titled “The Depot Hotel: Hobos Come to Rosemount� from 6:308 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 12, at the Robert Trail Library in Rosemount. The event is free and open to all ages.

findings in a talk titled, “The Depot Hotel: Hobos Come to Rosemount� at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 12, at the Robert Trail Library. The presentation, being held in conjunction with the “One Book, One Rosemount� community reading program, will cover the story of the railroads, hobos and the IWW in Rosemount in 1915, as well as a general overview of hobo culture and lingo. Loch will be joined in the presentation by Gerald Mattson and Maureen Geraghty Bouchard, both members of the city’s hisLearn about hobos torical society.

Farmington Dunn Bros manager Deanna Reinhart (left) and new co-owner David Hartnett get ready for a new day at the coffee shop. Hartnett and his co-owner Kirk Zeaman want to connect people in the community by offering special networking events like the monthly Community Corner that showcases local people who make a difference in Farmington.

New Dunn Bros owners look to promote connectivity in community THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Running a successful coffee shop is not just about the beans and number of coffee cups sold. Farmington Dunn Bros’ new owners are business partners David Hartnett and Kirk Zeaman. They understand a coffee shop serves as a meeting place that can promote connectivity in the community. A coffee connoisseur who frequented Dunn Bros, Hartnett found out in June the coffee shop may close after talking with manager Deanna Reinhart. “I decided to take the risk because what drove me as a customer was the great service and awesome product,� Hartnett said. He knew how freshly roasted coffee sells itself, but he thought the coffee shop just lacked proper and effective marketing. The former owner was Valley Coffee that also owns the commercial Tamarack Ridge strip mall. Dunn Bros was the first tenant to open four years ago when the economy was flourishing. Located on the southeast side of town off Highway 3 at 20700 Chippendale Ave., the Farmington Dunn Bros is between Rosemount and Northfield. The timing of the sale was perfect, and it took place quickly only a few weeks ago. “It was the classic example of finding a job that was not advertised,� Hartnett said. The coffee shop kept its employees and manager Reinhart who knows all the loyal, local customers. She has been working at Dunn Bros since day one on May 25, 2006. Ready to launch new events to connect the community, Dunn Bros will

play host to many special events, such as book clubs, children’s story time, business networking groups, scrapbooking groups, and special resume nights. Professionals will come in to offer free advice to the unemployed or dislocated worker. Hartnett wants to bridge the gap and help people land a job or launch a rewarding career. As a former student in the entrepreneurship program at Dakota County Technical College, Hartnett learned valuable marketing skills. Now he is ready to implement those ideas and utilize his professional background in graphic design and printing. One new marketing idea that has resonated with customers is the Community Corner. Above the soft seating and fireplace are framed photographs of local people who make a difference. “These are the unsung heroes like your neighbor or co-worker who volunteers,� Hartnett said. Each month, Farmington Dunn Bros will accept nominations for the Community Corner on the business’ Facebook page. The shop will announce three monthly winners and give the community a chance to meet them in person. “This is our way to showcase the positive things that people are doing,� Hartnett said. The first Community Corner event attracted 35 people. The next Community Corner “Facebook Fun Night� will be from 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 14. Winners will be announced on the second Thursdays of the month. He is asking the public to submit online nominations, Hartnett said, because, “These are the people, who usually don’t

want the attention, and they are not the mayor or the chief of police, but they bring value to the community.� Farmington photographer Nicole Blasing of Blasing Shots Photography will photograph and frame the Community Corner winners to hang in Dunn Bros. “A coffee shop is the ultimate ice breaker for business relationships,� he said. To make customers feel at home, Dunn Bros in Farmington also offers complimentary driving directions or resume copies. The shop also offers free Wi-Fi internet access, drive-thru service and an outdoor patio. For residents or groups looking for a new meeting place, contact Hartnett or Reinhart at (651) 3449974.

Donations, demand prompt Shidor owner to open second location for used goods ‘More Shidor’ set to open in November by Kara Hildreth THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The success of the secondhand shop Shidor in downtown Farmington may be linked to a community demand or simply the growing popularity of shopping smart, according to business owner Michelle Overbey. Either way, Shidor’s success is now inspiring a second location in downtown Farmington: this one specializing in used furniture and books. More Shidor will open on Shidor’s one-year anniversary (Nov. 2) only a few doors down from the original store at 308 Oak Street, next to Fan Club Athletics. “It will be good for the community because we’ll be enhancing the downtown by adding another business,� said Overbey. Looking back on an eventful 11 months, she reflected, “It’s overwhelming to think that within a year, I am ready to run two stores, but it is very exciting to think about at the same time.�

As the new 1,200 square foot space fills with donated beds, desks, tables and other furniture, Overbey looks forward to a less crowded and cluttered retail space for shoppers. “We knew we needed more space, and we wanted to specialize in more,� she said, referring to the large response from the community. More Shidor will be open Thursday, Friday and Saturday, but also by appointment on other days to meet customers’ needs. Shidor, meanwhile, will continue to sell secondhand clothing, housewares, shoes, handbags, bedding and children’s toys. Relying on a core group of seven volunteers, Overbey hopes to enlist additional help as she continues to run both shops. Overbey has also joined forces with a Dakota County juvenile program and an adult community service program to help individuals work off their community service hours at Shidor.

a former real estate agent, she has successfully run Salt & Light, her nonprofit group that helps single parents buy homes. “I am really glad because that gave me an education in the real estate market, and I can give the single parents mentoring and tutoring,� she said. Never predicting the response from the community, Overbey is grateful for all the shoppers who visit on a regular basis, as well as the many donations Shidor has received. “We have been able to keep our heads above water, and not worry so much because we have had so many donations coming in that we knew we had to expand and do something,� Overbey said. When asked to what she attributes Shidor’s success, Overbey said a rePhoto by Kara Hildreth cession had something to A year ago, small business owner Michelle Overbey took a chance and opened Shidor, a do with it. secondhand shop in downtown Farmington.

Maybe the Lake and Missota weren’t so different after all by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

During speculation leading up to the breakup of the Lake Conference a year ago, I thought Farmington sports would be a good fit with the schools from Lakeville, Apple Valley, Rosemount and beyond. In recent years, Farmington football, volleyball, boys cross country and now girls soccer have been in the conversation with some of the best schools in the south metro. So why not play some of the best? Every year I hear how great the competition is from the former Lake Con-

PRESSBOX ference teams that formed the South Suburban Conference. M a n y schools in the Missota play in a smaller class than Farmington, so a move to the South Suburban would give them better competition. Or so I thought. This fall I’ve discovered the Missota isn’t as far behind. Two former Lake teams, Chaska and Chanhassen, switched to the Missota this season. Neither school

is running away with anything. Chaska volleyball has been a perennial state favorite, but the team is slightly above .500 after losing to Shakopee and Northfield. Both the Chaska and Chanhassen football teams are at the bottom of the league, and both girls soccer teams are below .500. Still, the new South Suburban reigns supreme. It has top-10 ranked teams in every sport: football (Rosemount), boys soccer (Eagan and Apple Valley), girls soccer (Eagan), tennis (Lakeville North), girls cross country (Lakeville South), boys cross country (Rosemount

could very well lose on Friday against Eagan, one of the most underrated teams out there for two years running. The Lakers will close out their season with a round against North and South, where I think Lakeville will be favored in both games. Farmington has longtime rivalries in the Missota and can schedule neighboring teams like Rosemount and Lakeville if it wants. They’ll have no trouble finding someone to play with.

and Burnsville) and volleyball (pretty much everyone). But for the most part, former Missota school Prior Lake has been able to hang in the South Suburban. Volleyball, boys soccer and girls soccer are hovering around .500, which isn’t that much different from a year ago. Prior Lake’s football team is in second place in the South Suburban, and the girls swimming and cross country teams have fit right in at the top. Still, the Lakers football team has yet to get a win against a team with a winning record in the South Suburban. The Lakers

People in Lakeville like to go swimming and it’s not because of Lake Marion. Lakeville North and South high schools always seem to have some of the top swimmers in the state year after year. Last season both schools finished in the top 10 at the Class AA state tournament. This year, North is in line for at least a share of the South Suburban Conference title and South rebuilt its lineup quickly to remain a contender. North is undefeated in dual meets except for a tie with Prior Lake. If the Panthers win the rest of their conference dual meets they will at least tie for the conference championship. North has two of the top swimmers in the metro in Elizabeth Kleiner and Christen Young. Young has some of the best times in the state in the distance freestyle events, and her teammate Kleiner has been wining all kinds of events from the individual medley,

butterfly, breaststroke to freestyle sprints and distance events. Her performance has caught the eye of Division I schools. Her younger sister Erin has also given the team a big boost in freestyle events and relays. Young is considering following her brother Paul, who was also one of the top swimmers for the boys team, to the Air Force Academy. “I hope that as a team we can continue to improve during the dual meet season and have a great taper meet at the end,” Schneider said. “I think short term we will try to do well at the true team meet and hopefully swim and dive well enough to make it to state. “All of the girls have done a great job and all of them are improving.” After losing its best swimmer in school history to graduation (Hailey Campbell), Lakeville South coach Rick Ringeisen thought 2010 would be a rebuilding season. “The swimmers had a different agenda,” Ringeisen said. “The girls

have taken on every challenge this year and fully expect to finish the season above .500.” The Cougars finished seventh at the Minneapolis South Invitational at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center on Sept. 10. “This was a great showing for the team because this invite attracts many of the top-ranked teams in the state,” Ringeisen said. The distance events led by Haley Chatelaine, Shea Bougie and Lindsey Ewings along with the sprinting crew of Carrie Schrock, Maddie Turbes and Ali McKennell have kept the Cougars in contention. Brianna Alexander has jumped out for the Cougars as one of their top all-around swimmers. “Brianna can swim any event in the meet and push for the win,” Ringeisen said. “She is so versatile that at this point in time it is hard to say what her best events will be for the end of the season.” Andy Rogers is at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Sept. 23. Although the team lost 3-0, Farmington made the Sabers work for their win. It was the first match in which Woody moved star player Katie Habeck to the outside. “Having her more involved every point really helped our team with their confidence level,” Woody said. “(Shakopee coach) Matt (Busch) quickly figured out to serve away from Habeck, and we struggled in game three. “Had we not had so many net violations late in game one, the entire match might have gone the other way.” Farmington broke out of its slump with a 3-0 victory against Holy Angels on Sept. 30. At the Rochester Century tournament last weekend, the Tigers went 1-3, losing to Rochester Century, White Bear Lake and Mankato East. The win came against Blooming Prairie. The match against Mankato East was particularly close, with just three to four points separating each team during the matches. The Tigers will play in their third tournament of the year on Friday, Oct. 8, at Burnsville. The 12-team tournament features former conference foe Hutchinson, which is ranked No. 3 in Class 2A, along with new conference rival Chanhassen, and a local team from Rosemount. The next tournament is the Section 1AAA tournament, which begins on Oct. 27. None of the teams in Section 1AAA are ranked in the top 10 in the state. Five of the 11 teams currently have winning records including Faribault, Rochester Century, Rochester Mayo, Northfield and Owatonna. The Tigers lost to Century and Mayo in tight games earlier this season.

Getting to the state tournament was hard work for the Farmington volleyball team in 2009. The Tigers are finding out it’s even harder to get back there. They’ve already matched last year’s loss total with 12, but Farmington hovered around .500 in 2009 as well until October, when the team went 7-1. The Tigers rode that hot streak all the way to the Xcel Energy Center in November for the state tournament. Farmington started this year with a 4-2 record, but ever since its own tournament in mid-September the team has struggled. The schedule has been difficult and inexperience has been a factor, but no one is taking down the volleyball net just yet. “Improvement is exactly what I have seen, just not enough to break through against the quality teams we have played,” coach Mike Woody said. “We are stuck at 21 and 22 points. My inexperienced players need to learn how to break through.” Katie Habeck and Jordan Bridges have been holding court. Woody said Habeck is one of the best players he’s ever coached. “She has every right to be frustrated, but she stays so positive,” he said. “She has truly embraced the role of captain and she’s the glue that keeps the team afloat.” She leads Farmington in every statistical category except setting, but she can’t do everything. Bridges has been playing at a high level. “Had she been playing at this level last year, we might have made a run at the Xcel Center,” Woody said. The team learned a lot Rogers is at against Shakopee, one of Andy the top teams in the state, on andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Tennis Panthers win conference title, Cougars finish second by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The Lakeville girls tennis teams rose to the top of the South Suburban Conference. Lakeville North won its third conference title in a row and Lakeville South finished as the runner-up. The Panthers’ 5-2 victory against Eagan on Sept. 28 sealed the title. North defeated conference foes Burnsville, Bloomington Kennedy, Prior Lake, Bloomington Jefferson, Apple Valley and Eastview all by scores of 7-0. Rosemount, Eagan and Lakeville South were the only teams to win a set against North in the conference. Sweeping all those match-

es means the team’s top four singles players – Lisa Hall, Maddie Lindstrom, Sarah Lindstrand, and Hannah Hughes – are doing something right. With just two seniors, Hughes and No. 2 doubles player Liz Minneman, the rest of the lineup is filled with members from all over the school. Juniors Gretchen Hoffman (No. 2 doubles) and Cassidy Parkinson (No. 1 doubles) along with sophomore Maddie Tweed (No. 1 doubles) have given the team consistency. At No. 3 doubles, seventh-grader Sydney Parkinson partners with junior Tatum Holland to keep teams guessing. In the North’s 6-1

loss to Edina, they were the only ones to get a win. “We are more competitive than ever before,” coach Trish Staehling said. Lakeville South was tested throughout the season. Against Eagan, Rosemount, Prior Lake and Shakopee, South had to come from behind to win. The only loss was against Lakeville North. “I am proud of our team for the quality tennis, and their determination to never give in,” coach John Pieri said. “North was the better team this year and deserve the conference trophy.” Pieri said a few girls really showed improvement this year including seniors Jane Kirby and Shelby Roles; juniors Madison Roles and

Lindsay Uphoff; and freshmen Shaina Burns and Morgan Pieri. The section tournament features some of the best teams in the state from southeastern Minnesota. There are five teams ranked in the state. Rochester Mayo is No. 3, Rochester Century No. 6, and Lakeville North, South and Red Wing are in the top 15. “To be honest, Mayo is really the team to beat,” Pieri said. “But our section has said that same thing for years.” North earned the No. 1 northern seed and South No. 2. The semifinals and finals are scheduled for Oct. 12 at the Rochester Athletic Club.

Lakeville also has some quality singles and doubles players who are looking forward to the individual tournament on Oct. 15. Century’s Kelsey Frechette is ranked No. 1 in the state and Jessica Aney is No. 6. “But I would never count out our very own Shelby Henderson in any tennis battle,” Pieri said. “She is such a solid all-around player. “It’s always an exciting time, but also a little nerve racking, especially with seniors. We are hoping to play well and maybe surprise a few people. Time will tell.” Andy Rogers is at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.
