The empty former police station may not be empty by September 2012. After a couple months of debate, a majority of the Lakeville City Council has agreed to pursue moving the Lakeville Senior Center, the Lakeville Historical Society and the Yellow Ribbon organization into the site across the street from the city hall. The decision was a popular one at the senior center. “(The seniors) are excited,� said senior center coordinator Linda Walter. “They know we need more space.� See Center, 8A

Sunday, June 26, marked the grand opening of Killebrew Field in Lakeville. The Miracle League field is designed to allow children with disabilities to enjoy baseball. Among the notable moments was when Nita Killebrew, the late Harmon Killebrew’s wife, threw the first pitch. Another was when former Minnesota Twins player and manager Frank Quilici (above) congratulated a runner for reaching first base.

Unexpectedly, the Farmington City Council unanimously named David McKnight as Farmington’s new city administrator. Council members cited the lifelong Farmington resident’s David strong connection McKnight and commitment to the city as key factors in making a decision they said was difficult because of the quality of the applicants. McKnight, currently the city administrator of Mendota Heights, indicated in interviews his long-term vision for the city, which included a focus on economic development and improving the city’s bottom line.

Jay Haugen has accepted the Farmington School Board’s unanimous June 28 offer to become Farmington Schools’ new district superintendent, subject to negotiating a contract. At the July 11 meeting, the board will officially hire Haugen, and then plans are for the board to accept Haugen’s employment agreement at its August meeting. Outgoing Superintendent Brad Meeks will stay on as superintendent of record in Farmington until July 15, when he is to begin his position as superintendent in Steamboat Springs, Colo. Haugen, 51, will begin the move from his superintendent job in the West St. Paul-Mendota HeightsEagan School District 197 to Farmington Schools, and is tentatively set to become Farmington’s superintendent of record as of July 15, said Ken LaCroix, District 192’s search consultant. Earlier in the week, the board chose against opening the search to other candidates after the district’s other finalist, St. Anthony-New

Jay Haugen answered questions during a June 28 community forum held just before he was offered and accepted the job of Farmington Schools superintendent. Brighton School District Superintendent Rod Thompson, withdrew himself from consideration. Thompson is one of three finalists competing to be the Shakopee School District’s next superintendent. The Farmington board’s decision followed a community meeting and day-long district visit for Haugen, which included a tour of

district buildings and final interview with the board in the evening. During the community meeting, about 20 residents, primarily female, posed questions about a variety of issues, including community education and working with community members. Haugen said he supports community education, is interested in working with the community and in a separate interview with Thisweek, added that one of his primary focuses is on early childhood education. “Having students really, really ready for kindergarten is a big task. ‌ It will be one of my initiatives,â€? he said. During his final interview, Haugen emphasized the importance of keeping parents involved in their children’s education. He noted that in District 197, parents and teachers were trained to use iPads before the electronic devices were sent home with students, so the children had consistent support while using the devices for school work.

District 194 OKs preliminary budget amid uncertainty by Aaron Vehling THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

When the Lakeville School Board approved the $131 million preliminary budget for 2011-12 on Tuesday night, June 28, it did so amid a statewide atmosphere of great uncertainty. At the time this story went to press on Wednesday night, Gov. Mark Dayton and the Legislature had not yet ironed out a budget deal, effectively leaving open the possibility of a shutdown of most government services and the delay of funds distribution to local school General 952-894-1111 Distribution 952-846-2070 Display Advertising 952-846-2011 Classified Advertising 952-846-2000

come at the exact time the deficits from that arrangement would occur. Preliminary budgets are always just that – preliminary. There are subsequent votes to adapt the budget to the actual state funding levels. But this year, Klett said, that term “preliminary� is particularly relevant. “There is no budget set for schools at state level,� he said. The budget includes the recent budget adjustments and assumes the use of the aid anticipation.

Operations The air of uncertainty surrounding state affairs trickled down to District 194. If the state were to shut down, the effects would go beyond the district borrowing to cover the gap.

Steve Johnson, owner of Zumbrota Ford, presents the keys to a 2000 Ford Focus to Farmington High School graduate and senior party grand prize winner Elizabeth Gallus. Berg and Curtis and Anna Koch. The Kochs had asked Johnson for the donation, having done business with him for years, and were not surprised when without hesitation, he agreed. “Steve’s just one of those guys so generous when he sees something that is a really, really good cause,� Anna said. Johnson, a 23-year Farmington resident who had two children graduate from FHS, called the gesture a “nice way I could

give back to the community.� Gallus, who will attend college in Iowa this fall, said she had been driving her mom’s car, and it has often put her in a bind. She thanked Johnson and all those who donated, and called it “really exciting� to win. “Being a college student and not having to pay for a car, that’s really nice,� Gallus said.

Despite a tough economy, community members and local business owners worked to ensure that one Farmington High School graduate received a grand prize worth thousands. Steve Johnson, owner of Zumbrota Ford, donated a 2000 Ford Focus that was awarded at the June 10 FHS senior class party held after the commencement. Other business owners and community members donated money and/or expertise to ensure the car was safe and in good repair before awarding it to a student at about 4 a.m. as the grand prize. Other prizes were also awarded to graduates, including televisions and iPads. Although the grand prize ticket was the first to be drawn by presenters so that each of the 200 high school’s newest alumni attending the party (out of the graduating class of 384) had an equal chance to win the car, it was the last prize to be awarded. When Elizabeth Gallus heard her name called, she wasn’t sure it was real. “I was in shock. I didn’t really believe it. I didn’t think I heard it right, but then people turned around and were clapping at me,� said Gallus, 18. The fuel-efficient car, worth between $4,000 to $5,000, came equipped with new tires, battery and windshield wipers. It had also undergone car detailing and mechanical work, thanks to the generosity of donors that included Farmington businesses On the Spot Detail, Full Service Battery and Car Quest. Lakeville Tire and Auto also donated, as did Bret

Letters Private donations could fund senior center To the editor: There’s been a lot of discussion recently around the construction of a new senior center and its costs, how times are tight, and the difficulties posed by that reality. We even heard from one good community resident who’d benefit from this center, throwing out the idea of putting the decision up to a referendum. No referendum necessary. Instead, let’s keep it simple. Start a private donation. Advertise it heavily. Really get the word out. (Maybe even Thisweek will find it newsworthy and write an article about it.) I’m willing to bet that a substantial amount of funding will be received, donated

by us – the younger generation currently enjoying what has been built by our predecessors, the folks of The Greatest Generation. The people of that generation all played a part in making this a wonderful community for us younger folks running our businesses, raising our kids, volunteering at our church, coaching our sons’ little league. I’ve lived in Lakeville for a good part of my adult life and my children (ages 12 and 9) have known no other community. I will be the first in line the day donations are accepted with a check for $100 (or more, if I had a good week). Included with this check will be a thank you card to all the folks who would benefit from this center, thanking you all for your part in making this a strong, viable community, and wishing you much happiness and

enjoyment with your new facility. I hope that I’m worthy to grab the torch and build upon your accomplishments, doing my part to ensure the future success and strength of this great community. MARK BELLILE Lakeville

Remaining competitive To the editor: During the debate on whether or not to raise taxes on the top 2 percent to help balance the budget, we must keep our eyes on what our true goals are. If we are looking at taxes alone, then everything is just fine. As the man who fell from the top of the Empire State Building was heard saying as he passed the 43rd floor, “So far, so good.�

If we are aiming for a state that works well, we must keep in mind the return on our tax investment. Recent years have seen state education budgets with very modest increases in dollars. Unfortunately, in the hubbub about financial accountability, school budgets haven’t actually kept up with inflation. The result has been the steady increase of class sizes, from under 30 students per room less than 10 years ago to over 40 today. Yet there seems to be wide agreement among south metro parents that a student can learn better in smaller classes. A recent University of Minnesota study of education investment revealed some interesting long-term results. These results showed education is connected to achieving higher levels of social and economic status, reduced involvement with drugs, alcohol or crime. The return on investment was calculated to be seven to nine times the initial investment to this point in the study. Investing in our children actually produces tangible, financial results now and over time. University researchers say these outcomes are worth investing increased amounts in. Parents say it helps their kids do better. Legislators haven’t gotten the word yet, or they’d be covering the cost of inflation and investing more yet. For our economy to stay

competitive with those of other economic powers, we must intelligently invest in education, where the return on our money is the greatest. RON COMMINS Eagan

Rethink taxation that favors ‘job creators’

even worse recession than we had in Minnesota, and his detractors point to other years when higher taxes on the wealthy were accompanied by a booming economy and low unemployment. Meanwhile, proposed “emergency services� for a state shutdown didn’t initially take care of many lowand middle-income needs for services by the state government. At first proposals didn’t include payments to health care providers for services to low-income people, and new clients weren’t able to be enrolled in programs for food stamps or welfare. Little emphasis seemed to be given to people whom many economists consider the backbone of a thriving economy. Spending by midand lower-income people is reportedly much more rapid than that by wealthier citizens, and an extra dollar spent in the low-income sector is considered far more productive than in upperincome strata, according to macro-economists working with the “velocity of money.� As co-owner of a small business, I hope legislators committed to protecting Minnesota’s business climate will consider what demandside economics can do for us all, low-income consumers and businesses alike.

To the editor: Consideration of “alternative revenue sources� by state legislators has been a rare concession in a discussion with little previous hope for compromise by Republicans in the majority. They have felt they were elected to reduce government spending, and don’t want to bring state and local taxes on the top 2 percent of incomeearners in our state into par with what the rest of us pay. Their sincere belief is that government has gotten “too big,� and we must reduce it somehow, even to the point of shutting down state government. They justify the lower rate of state and local taxes these well-off people pay by saying they are the “job creators,� and must be given special help to create more jobs. This theory of the need for special help has been practiced during the Pawlenty years, when the former governor went out of his way to take care of well-off peo- BETTY FEDDE ple.

Relay for Life scheduled July 29-30 achieved over cancer • Remember – The Luminaria Ceremony. After dark, the Luminaria Ceremony honors people who have been touched by cancer and remembers loved ones lost to the disease. Candles are lit inside bags filled with sand, each one bearing the name of a person touched by cancer, and participants often walk a lap in silence. The Relay for Life is a life-changing event that gives everyone in the Farmington area a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease. At the event, teams of people camp out at the Boeckman Middle School

football field and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Because cancer never sleeps, the event is 24 hours in length. Sign up online to start a team or make a donation. The event is open to the public with food available and silent auction items. People may honor a loved one or friend by sharing their photos or purchasing a luminary bag in their name. More information is available online at www. RelayForLife.org/farmingtonmn or by calling Maggie Beekman at (651) 255-8132.

The June 29 decision was a surprise, as the council was scheduled to merely narrow the five candidates to two or three finalists. However, after Mayor Todd Larson named his pick of finalists, with McKnight at the top, other council members followed suit. Council Member Julie May said McKnight and Bruce Messelt, city administrator for Lake Elmo, were at the top of her list. Messelt, she said, “has experience unmatched by anybody,� but she said McKnight and candidate Brian Anderson, city administrator of Newport, have a “heart� for Farmington. Council Member Terry Donnelly agreed. “David and Brian have enthusiasm and energy, and both have a commitment to the community.� He said while Messelt has had experience all over the world, he wants someone who is going to stay in the community. “There’s something to be said for one who has a little more community roots, although you can’t go wrong with any of them,� Donnelly said. McKnight, a former Farmington City Council member, has led Mendota Heights since November 2009. From 2001 to 2009, he worked as the Dodge County administrator. He was Redwood County coordinator in 2000 and 2001. McKnight also was a program analyst for Min-

nesota Counties Insurance Trust and worked as the special projects coordinator in Goodhue County. Since 2009, Messelt has been employed as the Lake Elmo city administrator. From 2007 to 2009, he was president of Oak Grove Lutheran School in Fargo, N.D., and was Moorhead’s city manager from 2002 to 2007. Messelt spent six years as assistant city manager and special projects director in Tucson, Ariz. He was a foreign area analyst for the U.S. Defense Department from 1991 to 1996, charged in part with managing national security relations with post-communist areas of Europe. Anderson has served as Newport’s administrator since 2009. From 2003 to 2009, he was the assistant city administrator in Lakeville, and prior to that he was a public works technician for the city of Woodbury. Anderson started his professional career in 1996 as a utility maintenance worker for Lakeville. Candidates who also had interviewed for the position were Ron Moorse, a government affairs consultant for Afton and Bart Fischer, assistant city administrator and economic development director in Chaska. The City Council was originally scheduled to conduct final interviews on July 11, and then meet to approve a candidate for the position. Instead, Council Member Jason Bartholomay made the motion to offer the job to McKnight, Council Member Christy Fogarty offered a second, and the motion passed unanimously. As is standard procedure, the job offer is contingent on the applicant passing a standard background check, which will be conducted by Farmington police and is expected to take about one week to complete. Peter Herlofsky, the city’s previous administrator, resigned unexpectedly in March; his last day was May 31.

Farmington School Board sets first listening session District asks community for RSVP or may cancel session by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

After numerous district parents, staff and principals addressed Farmington School Board members at public meetings this spring, the board decided to hold special listening sessions. The first of those monthly sessions is set for 5:30 p.m. July 11 at the Media Center at Boeckman Middle School, 800 Denmark Ave. Community members are invited to take part in dialogue with board members on issues they’d like

to discuss, including district operations, policies and programs. However, complaints about specific personnel or other individuals will not be heard by the three board members attending each session, according to a district news release which listed other ways to contact board members, including e-mail and telephone. Board Chair Tera Lee has called the sessions “an opportunity for all to be heard and respected.� The district requests that community members

interested in attending the listening session call the district office by Wednesday, July 6 at (651) 4635013 and provide their name, contact information and topic they wish to discuss. The information will allow the district to have resources available for questions. If no community member requests to attend are received by the district, the listening session may be cancelled.

She handles bookkeeping. Speiker said one of the things he enjoys most about the bowling business is the people. “A lot of different groups have come in over the years,� Haugen/from 1A Lee said Haugen is a “phenomenal candidate,� adding that all board members are excited to have him in the district. “Everyone was very impressed,� Lee said, noting his willingness to work with the community and district to build relationships. After years of conflicts among board members and the superintendent, the board sought a leader who would help build unity. Haugen said he intends to meet weekly with the board chair and will share information requested by one board member with all of them to keep everyone on the same page.

he said. Speiker especially enjoys hosting Special Olympics bowling tournaments. “It’s a highlight,� he said. He also enjoys when people get creative, he said. For a “Back to the 50s� night, people dressed for the part. “We also host a lot of fundraisers here,� he said. Pan-O-Prog, Speiker said, “is a gathering of the tribe.� Because he has been around Lakeville his whole life, Speiker remembers the first Pan-O-Prog in 1967.

“I was a freshman in high school,� he said. “I was in the marching band.� He sees Pan-O-Prog as a valuable part of the Lakeville experience, especially in a modern era in which most people are glued to lighted screens for entertainment. “It’s good to get the community together,� he said. “Social activity is lacking nowadays in a lot of ways.�

“I can really picture myself in Farmington,� Haugen said in an interview, adding that he and his wife, Janet, will probably move to a home in the district. Their youngest child just graduated from high school, and they will likely seek a smaller home. “I’ve never not lived in the community I work in,� he said, although living in the district is not a requirement of the job. LaCroix congratulated the board on the hire at the conclusion of the June 28 special meeting. “You hit a home run, folks,� he said. LaCroix said the hire is a good fit for the district, describing Haugen as professional and “seri-

ous about the job of being superintendent and making districts better.� Haugen’s work history indicates a commitment to the district in which he serves. Since June 2006, he has served as superintendent of District 197. Previously, he was superintendent of Sleepy Eye Public Schools for 10 years. Haugen worked for the Minnesota Department of Education as a region coordinator and was focused on curriculum development for the Redwood River Education District in Redwood Falls, Minn.

Center/from 1A At Monday night’s work session, the couple dozen seniors who turned out were but a fraction of the 200 who showed up at the arts center in May to advocate for this. But the number was large enough to move everyone into the formal council chambers from the conference room typically reserved for work sessions. Staff are moving ahead with the next steps, which involve interviewing architects and project management firms. The sale of the current senior center site a few blocks away is also pivotal. All of these require votes from the council. Here is the breakdown of funding sources: • About $527,000 from the city of Lakeville ($150,000, park dedication fund; $377,000 building fund). • At least $345,000 from the sale of the senior center. Parks and Recreation Director Steve Michaud said a few firms have already made offers for the site. • About $100,000 from the Lakeville seniors organization. • About $60,000 from a community development block grant. • About $88,000 from fundraising. Of that amount the Yellow Ribbon organization, as part of its agree-

ment to share the site, will spend $27,000 to sponsor and purchase a commercial kitchen. Though a majority of the council agrees with the plan, Mayor Mark Bellows and Council Member Colleen Ratzlaff LaBeau are either hesitant to sign off or against it. Bellows opposes the current plan for a couple reasons. “I think we’re stepping out with both feet in midair,� he said. Bellows also said he wants to make sure that after all is said and done the current senior center site does not sit idle like its successor. He wants the building sold. He contends that the current plan does not do enough to anticipate a need for the kind of depth and breadth of programs that will need to be offered once the demographer-projected influx of seniors hits the city. “One comment I’ve heard is that there’s ‘nothing new here,’ that it’s just the senior center times two,� he said. LaBeau said she supports seniors in Lakeville, but wants to ensure the former police station on Holyoke Avenue is the right place for the new complex. “I just want to make sure this is the right decision for

the community and for the seniors,� she said. Some seniors have opposed the plan because it makes downtown residents struggle to walk to the new site, across the street from city hall. Bellows said there should be a transportation plan to address this concern. Council members Matt Little, Laurie Rieb and Kerrin Swecker support the plan. Rieb said that the council has traditionally supported life-cycle housing, thus making Lakeville a “place for all ages.� “I’m really glad to see the financing part,� she said. “I think it’s very doable. I’m in favor.� Bellows said that Lakeville is a community that is hostile to city and government spending. “We live in a community that just turned down a levy for schools,� he said. “We can say there is not a tax revenue impact in moving forward, but (the former police station) is worth $1.3 million. That could be used to pay debt toward the $15 million (current) police facility.� The former police station site was originally slated to be put on sale July 1, but this decision alters that plan.

When the Lakeville School Board decided not to outright eliminate the Lakeville girls and boys golf programs last winter, it was just the beginning of saving them. The majority of funding for the programs will still come from private sources, including participation fees and fundraisers. “We had to put together some plans to save the program,� said Lakeville North Golf Association Vice President Paul Vetter, who has two daughters on the team. “A big part of that is the need to fundraise given the current budget realities.� In what is hoped will be the largest means of raising the money, the Lakeville North and South golf programs will host two golf tournaments at area courses in July. The Lakeville South Golf Scramble is scheduled for July 8 at Heritage Links in Lakeville. Organizers hope to tie in with events that are part of Lakeville’s Pan-O-Prog celebration. The tournament should be completed prior to Cruise Night. For 18 holes with a cart and dinner, the cost is $90.

It reveals your weaknesses and builds your strengths. You learn more about yourself as a golfer, and having that team to support you makes you strive to be better. It builds a lot of character. If you’re just golfing by yourself, it’s easy to give up.� The whole experience has been a learning one for the supporters of golf in Lakeville. “It shows you even when things go bad you can recover and still do well,� Vetter said.

Dakota County woman was among five victims in Minnesota by Jessica Harper THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

A Florida man has been charged in Dakota County District Court in connection with a scam that convinced Minnesota seniors they were sending cash to loved ones. Robert Attias, 33, of Miami was charged June 29 by the Dakota County Attorney’s Office with felony theft by swindle for stealing thousands from seniors in Dakota, Ramsey, Olmsted, McLeod and Steele counties. Though Dakota County will lead the case, prosecutors from the other four counties will also work to convict Attias for his alleged crimes, Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom said at a press conference Wednesday. “This is a serious crime that has impacted the lives of seniors,â€? he said. A 77-year-old Hastings woman was among Attias’ five alleged victims. According to the criminal complaint, Attias convinced the woman over the phone that he was her grandson and needed bail money sent to Florida. A short time later, he called posing as a public defender asking for $1,668 to ďż˝

tion on his whereabouts should contact their local law enforcement agency. Thousands of scams targeting seniors are reported each year. The Minnesota Department of Public Safety’s Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division receives between 25,000 and 30,000 complaints of such crimes, said Bill White, a special agent with the division. “Lottery scams are the most common type of scams targeting seniors,� he said. The agency has received 90,000 complaints since it was established in 2007. These types of crimes are incredibly difficult to prosecute, Backstrom said. “Once money is sent, it’s virtually unretrievable,� he said. The lack of reporting makes it even more difficult for law enforcement to catch scammers, Backstrom said. “A lot of these crimes go unnoticed because victims feel embarrassed,� he said.

“Seniors should not be embarrassed for having a big heart.� There are several ways seniors can protect themselves from scams such as these, Backstrom said. “The simple rule is never send money over the phone unless you can verify exactly who that person is. That’s the most important thing,� he said. Backstrom advises residents to also be leery of emails asking them to wire money to unknown persons – emails even his office receives. Information on ways to avoid falling victim to a scammer can be found at the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office website, www.ag.state.mn.us, under “scams.� For more information about crime prevention, or to report a crime related to this case, contact the Hasting Police Department at (651) 480-2300.

get her grandson out of jail. After getting off the phone with him, the woman allegedly wired the money to his Miami address and paid a $145 fee. The next day, Attias called her again – this time posing as an assistant district attorney for Broward County where her grandson was supposedly jailed. He told her the money she sent earlier was for damages and that her grandson needed an additional $1,400 for bail. The woman became suspicious and told him she would not send any more money. Her husband notified police. The case was investigated by the Department of Public Safety, Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division and local police who found a surveillance video allegedly of Attias picking up victims’ money at a Florida Western Union. According to prosecutors, Attias alledgedly used similar tactics to swindle thousands from elderly women in Glencoe, St. Paul and Steele County. Law enforcement officials are searching for Attias, who is a Canadian citizen. Anyone with informa-

News Briefs Shutdown will close Hastings shelter, curtail services in Eagan In the event of a state government shutdown on July 1, 360 Communities is prepared to close its Lewis House shelter in Hastings for women and children who are forced to leave home because of domestic violence. The nonprofit agency in Dakota County says it will keep its Lewis House shelter in Eagan open, but with a “skeleton staff.� The 360 Communities board of directors was prepared to vote on the measures on June 29, the agency said in a news release. The Lewis Houses provide shelter to approximately 500 women and children annually. More than 2,000 survivors of domestic violence attend support groups, seek help applying to the courts for an order for protection, receive safety planning and use other Lewis House services. In Eagan, 360 Communities plans to answer crisis calls and keep the

doors open. Some staff members would be laid off; others would go to a reduced schedule. Though 360 Communities has many volunteers, at least one professional staff must be on duty at all times in a shelter setting, the agency says. Many shelters in Minnesota throughout the state receive the bulk of their funding from the Office of Justice Programs, a department of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety. The office will shut down if state government shuts down, resulting in dire consequences for battered-women’s shelters across the state, 360 Communities says. Some will close; others will curtail services and dip into reserves to remain open, the agency says. 360 Communities is seeking donations to help keep shelters afloat during the shutdown. More information is at 360Communities.org or (952) 9854014.
