Lakeville forum sees sparks City Council candidates talk budget, decorum by Aaron M. Vehling SUN THISWEEK

Bares, owner of an executive search firm, asserted Swecker voted against it, saying it was a 3-2 vote. However, it was a 4-1 vote with Council Member and mayoral candidate Matt Little as the sole dissenter, who opposed it, he said at the time, because it was an expansion of government.

Swecker, an account executive at CenturyLink, corrected Bares. “I was absolutely in support of the (FAC) and was extremely instrumental in the creation of it,” she said. “I think the (FAC) was absolutely appropriate, but wanted to make sure we were doing it correctly since it was our first time.” Later in the night following the forum, Bares emailed Swecker. “I was wrong about the final vote count on the Financial Advisory Committee,” he wrote. He wrote to the Sun Thisweek saying that he had received “bad intel.” Aside from a brief dust-up, the candidates engaged in discussions about how they would address Lakeville’s budget and tax levy in the See FORUM, 16A

Oversight approved for raises, promotions City code changed to mandate Farmington council’s OK by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK

The full study findings were never presented to the council, and a summary the council was given never mentioned the salary comparison findings. At the meeting, Council Member Julie May asked that any proposed raises or promotions also be discussed at a workshop so council members are fully aware of raises and promotions. City Administrator Dave McKnight had proposed raises and promotions be included on the consent agenda, where items are passed in one motion, usually without discussion. “When they’re adding promotions and job titles … I don’t want to see it just on the consent agenda and then I’m just going to stamp it, because that’s really not doing anything,” May said. “I’m not talking about micro-managing, but we certainly have to have more information than just a memo in the consent agenda.” A review by Minneapolis law firm Ratwik, Roszak and Maloney in September concluded the raises and promotions granted without City Council approval were legal and followed city code, but the council asked for changes in the administrator’s authority to ensure council oversight of such actions.

Crime lab hearing resumes Tuesday Public defenders expect post-conviction petitions by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK

Walter Swift spent over 26 years in prison for a rape he did not commit because his court-appointed attorney did not challenge the science that wrongly convicted him. Steve Toney was sentenced to life in prison for rape and sodomy based on bad science, and served 13 years before he was exonerated in 1996 after DNA testing excluded him as the perpetrator. Toney had repeatedly asked his attorney to have DNA testing done before his case ever went to trial. “She refused,” said Lauri Traub, a First Dis-

trict public defender, whose questioning of witnesses with state trial team attorney Christine Funk in Dakota County courts revealed significant testing, training and procedure failures at the St. Paul drug crime lab. Traub cited the Swift and Toney cases at an Oct. 12 public defender training event, where she encouraged defense attorneys to become educated about scientific data and processes used in court cases. The scientific inquiry Traub and Funk conducted resulted in testimony that led St. Paul Police Chief Tom Smith to shut the lab down and replace St. Paul

Police Sgt. Shay Shackle as director. An outside firm has also been hired to conduct a review of lab practices. During the hearing, set to continue Tuesday, the state has effectively conceded that drug testing at the St. Paul crime lab was unreliable. The hearing’s focus is now on whether contamination at the lab was so widespread samples that went through the lab are unreliable for retesting. Dakota County prosecutors are in the unusual position of defending the lab that Dakota County See CRIME LAB, 15A

Farmington council passes 2013 fee increases on split vote May questions inter-fund loans, balances by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK

Public defense attorney Lauri Traub urged colleagues at an Oct. 12 training event to become educated about scientific data and processes used in court cases.

A slew of fees will increase in Farmington next year after a 3-2 City Council vote Oct. 15. Council members Julie May and Jason Bartholomay cast the dissenting votes regarding the fee increases that City Administrator Dave McKnight first proposed at a workshop last week. About 25 different fees are increasing across various departments and among those affected will be property owners, businesses and developers. Council Member Julie

May advocated for simplified methods of taxing and city accounting by paying for city staff and services through the general fund instead of incorporating 15 pages of fees. “Every year if we’re going to sit here and talk about how to increase the general levy and then talk about how to increase fees to pay for staff, that’s basically what we’re doing,” she said. “It’s frustrating as a council member.” She said she understood development fees, but questioned fees to residents for things like installing new siding or adding a water

softener. Council Member Christy Jo Fogarty said user fees reflect the city’s longstanding pay-as-you-go philosophy of taxation. “I shouldn’t have to pay for my neighbor’s inspections because he decides to do home improvements on a consistent basis, and vice versa,” she said. May also cited concern about continually rising taxes in the city. “As the years go on … the answer can’t just be increase the taxes and fees,” she said, suggesting service cuts as another option. One of the biggest fee

concerns the council discussed is the 2013 increase from $80 to $100 per acre to help fund storm pond dredging. Those fees on commercial properties will increase from $165 to $210 per acre next year. City Engineer Kevin Schorzman said the city’s 142 storm ponds have never been dredged, and fee increases are needed because of stiffer regulations that increased five times the cost of disposing of materials containing chemicals associated with coal-tar based driveway sealants. The 2013 fee increase is to fund testing of the city’s

May cited concerns and requested details about inter-fund borrowing and loans that has happened in the funds before increases are approved. “I don’t feel comfortable increasing a fee when I don’t even know what money should be in that fund,” May said. New City Finance Director Robin Hanson said she would not have time to research and provide that information before year-end. See FEES, 15A

Buckthorn removal made easier In an effort to further assist residents with buckthorn removal, the City now has four Extractigators availabe for residents to borrow with a refundable deposit. Residents can use a puller for one week to remove buckthorn from their yard. The Extractigator works by placing the jaws around the base of the buckthorn. Push the lever down to remove the buckthorn and roots. If you are interested in borrowing an Extractigator, call the Parks & Recreation Department at 952-985-4600. Before you pull or dig buckthorn out of your property, it is recommended that you contact Gopher State One Call (1-800-252-1166) to ensure there are no buried utilities in the area.

Extractigators (l) are now available to borrow to help remove buckthorn. This non-native shrub (r) crowds out native plants for light, nutrients, and moisture. It also degrades wildlife habitat and diversity by smothering native plants, displacing them in the mid-layer of tree growth where many species of birds nest. The puller can also be used for other invasive species like prickly ash, honeysuckle and amur maple.

Arena planners set fast construction course by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK

All that stands between a second sheet of ice in Farmington can be resolved in five meetings, according to Ice for Tigers spokesman Rob Juncker who headed the first joint-powers agreement meeting Oct. 15. Participants gathered to discuss how to build a second ice arena included City Administrator Dave McKnight, Farmington Schools Superintendent Jay Haugen, hockey and skating group members, Farmington Business Association President Clyde Rath, city employees and Farmington City Council Member Jason Bartholomay. Under Juncker’s direction, members identified issues that need to be resolved for a rink to be built. Challenges cited included ownership, funding and ongoing costs, the city’s debt load, design issues,

flooding potential, taxpayer concerns, ice use and equity between groups and yearround use of the facility. There was also discussion about including surrounding townships as part of the joint-powers agreement. Juncker said the group will work through the concerns to reach an acceptable joint-powers agreement and encouraged open communication. “When we walk out of here, if for some reason two years down the road, if for some reason someone raises their hand and says ‘I was the voice of reason in the JPA who said that shouldn’t happen,’ you don’t get that right unless you bring this up right here and right now,” Juncker said. Ice for Tigers’ goal is to raise $1.5 million to help build the arena that would be attached to Farmington’s Schmitz-Maki Arena.

The second sheet of ice would allow shorter driving times for practices and games, and for the city to host tournaments that could encourage economic development like a hotel and restaurants. Cost is the most important factor, Juncker said. He said he would return at the next meeting, tentatively set for Nov. 5, with “rock solid” construction costs and a plan. Fundraising, revenue and operational planning will be discussed, and Juncker said they will review other JPAs as models to consider. “We want to be very conservative in our estimates,” Juncker said, “to make sure we come out of here with something we all believe in.” Laura Adelmann is at laura.

Teacher’s kidney donation gives cousin new lease on life by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK

For those who are on the fence about donating a kidney to a loved one in need, Erin Harmon has a simple message: “It’s really not so bad.” Harmon, a fifth-grade teacher at Paideia Academy in Apple Valley, donated a kidney to her cousin earlier this month in a procedure at Hennepin County Medical Center. “If I can do it, anyone can do it – I’m a big wuss,” she said with a laugh. “I had to get to the hospital at 5:30 a.m., and that was the worst part for me – I’m not a morning person.” Her cousin, Nathan, has suffered from congenital kidney issues and had one

Erin Harmon of his kidneys removed as a baby. As an adult he’s had to undergo dialysis several hours a day, three days a week. With the donation of

her kidney, Harmon said the hope is improved quality of life for her cousin. “He’s spent so much time going to dialysis, and over the years his kidney issues have just gone downhill. He’s been trying to get a kidney for years and years and years,” said the 34-year-old Eagan resident. “We’re hoping this will put him in a position where he’ll have time to learn how to drive and find employment.” The surgery itself took just a few hours, she said, and in the days following the procedure she experienced some mild pain and fatigue. She was fortunate in that, because Paideia

Academy is a year-round school, she was able to schedule the surgery and her recovery period for Paideia’s two-week fall break, and only had to miss a few days of work. “The procedure’s really safe, and the risks aren’t that bad,” she said. “And so far, the kidney seems to be taking and Nathan’s doing really well.” As for what she can and can’t do with only one kidney, doctors have advised Harmon against playing contact sports. “There goes my football career,” she joked.

Obermueller’s moderate politics a fit for 2nd District The political center isn’t a place Republican John Kline has had to worry much about in his five terms as U.S. representative in Minnesota’s 2nd District. That may prove true again once the ballots are counted on Nov. 6, but redistricting has given the 2nd a more purplish hue. Gone are Carver, Le Sueur and western Rice counties. Hello, South St. Paul and West St. Paul — older, first-ring suburbs that like to send Democrats to office and are used to having one, Betty McCollum, in Congress. Mike Obermueller, an Eagan attorney who served one term in the Minnesota House of Representatives, is the fifth Democrat to try to unseat Kline, a Lakeville resident and retired Marine colonel. Obermueller deserves to be elected. He’s young, bright and determined to win the expanded center in the new 2nd. His views and political instincts are a rebuke of the obstructionism that has discredited the Republican House majority. Raised on a dairy farm near Marshfield, Wis., Obermueller worked his way through college and law school before settling with his family in Eagan, where he is active in the Dakota County Regional Chamber of Commerce, the Knights of Columbus, the Eagan Art Festival and the Eagan Athletic

ECM Editorial Association. He proudly proclaims that he was the first Democrat to win former Gov. Tim Pawlenty’s old Minnesota House seat since Eagan was still cornfields. A notable achievement, but it was in 2008, an especially hospitable year for Democrats. Likewise, Obermueller was unseated two years later in a nationwide sweep by Republicans. As a legislator, he voted against several DFL Party tax-raising initiatives and voted for a vetoed 2009 budget fix that would have imposed a $1 billion tax hike on the state’s highest income earners. It included a “blink-off ” provision for better fiscal times, he says. At the federal level, he supports keeping the middle-class breaks in the Bush tax cuts and says the economy can withstand an increase on upper-bracket earners. Obermueller’s critique of the historic Affordable Care Act — Obamacare, which he supports and Kline wants to repeal — is spot-on. “I don’t think we did enough on the cost-control side of things,” he told ECM

Publishers news staffers in Dakota County. “There wasn’t a real true discussion about how you change the payment model so that we keep the person healthy rather than just paying for service going down the line.” A central plank in Obermueller’s campaign is rooting out government waste, fraud and abuse. Citing a recent Government Accountability Office study, he says tens of billions of dollars can be saved through measures such as procurement reform and modernization of medical record-keeping. Waste, he says, undermines government credibility in taxpayers’ eyes. “When they feel that way, they don’t want to pay any taxes for things they do care about,” he says. Obermueller opposes the “premium support” plan for Medicare backed by Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. Kline is rigidly conservative, with consistently high ratings from the American Conservative Union. Unlike many of the Tea Party members of his Republican caucus, he voted in 2011 to raise the federal debt ceiling. But he supports “Cut, Cap and Balance” — excessively harsh budget medicine that includes calling for a balanced-budget amendment to the Constitution.

He chairs the House Education and the Workforce Committee and wants to slash federal involvement in local schools. Yet he opposed the No Child Left Behind waiver in Minnesota while the state’s educators cheered. Kline is a favorite of the for-profit college industry, which showers him with campaign donations, but the industry has been called out in Congress for unsavory student-loan practices. Kline also has a growing reputation in his district for not making himself available during election season. His office rebuffed efforts by the Dakota County Regional Chamber of Commerce to recruit him for a candidate forum with Obermueller. And this is the second straight election cycle in which Kline’s press office refused requests from Sun Thisweek Newspapers to make the candidate available for an hour-long endorsement interview. The new 2nd District deserves a representative who’s less ideological and more respectful of its voters. Mike Obermueller is that candidate. This is a product of the ECM Editorial Board. Sun Thisweek Newspapers and the Dakota County Tribune are part of ECM Publishers Inc.

Letters Lee is listening in District 58A To the editor: Do you live in Lakeville’s House of Representatives District 58A? Are you tired of the same old politics? Too many politicians seem to use confrontation rather than cooperation to try to govern. Maybe it’s just me, but they seem to listen to their parties more than to their constituents. Colin Lee is listening to District 58A constituents. He is working hard to become state representative for the district. If you live in District 58A, you may have already spoken to Lee. He has been out knocking on doors. If he hasn’t knocked on your door yet, let him know how you feel when he does. He’s a good listener. I’ve known Colin Lee for several years now, and know him to be very smart, very sincere and very hardworking. Consider voting for him. He’s got my vote. JOHN S. CLARK Lakeville

Don’t vote To the editor: Every week lately I see letters encouraging us to vote for one candidate or the other. But there is one option that nobody seems to talk about – the option to not vote. In many elections over half the electorate choose this option, which is a great sign for those of us who love liberty. I call on the rest of the population to join these patriots and abstain from voting. No matter who wins, politicians will take away your liberty through laws and regulations. They will take away your property through taxes, inflation, and debt. They can kidnap your sons and daughters

and call it “selective service.” Are these the kind of people you want to endorse with your vote? The politicians then swear an oath on the Bible that they will not violate the Constitution. Then they turn right around and violate their oath (think education, health care, foreign aid, etc.). Are these the kind of people you want to endorse with your vote? Democracy is not a sign of freedom. It is mob rule. If 51 percent of the population vote to enslave 49 percent of the population, would we all say what a triumph this vote was for freedom? Get real. Yet tax freedom day, the day the money you earn stops going to the government and starts going to you, was April 22 for Minnesota in 2012 (try Googling it). So in effect these politicians enslave the people for the first four months of the year. Are these the kind of people you want to endorse with your vote? The worst thing that can happen to these politicians is for them to become irrelevant. Show them that you really don’t care about them. You can live your life without them. Serve your fellow man through the peaceful transactions of the free market, not at the point of a gun. Tell the government not to go away mad, tell them to just go away.

But the most convoluted statement was “the top 10 percent of Minnesota earners pays almost 17 percent less than the remaining 90 percent of wage earners in terms of percentage of income paid to taxes.” What? Talk about contriving a statistic to bolster an agenda. He does go on to explain that those incomes between $41,000 and $53,000 pay about 12.3 percent to state and local taxes and those incomes above $429,000 pay 9.7 percent. That’s $6,519 on $53,000 and $41,613 on $429,000. Does a Minnesota state resident with a $429,000 income benefit 638 percent more from state government than a resident with a $53,000 income? I suggest not. Why should they pay that much more? “Because they can” is not a valid answer. And finally, Frans is quoted as saying “There’s an enormous amount of stuff we don’t tax.” Well, I for one would seriously hope so! Want to balance the three-legged tax stool? Try a saw.

Choices matter, you decide To the editor: My name is Mark Holden and I was a resident and peace officer with the city of Lakeville for over 18 years. During this time, I had the fortune of meeting Mark Bellows. Bellows became a reserve officer and subsequently, one of the Lakeville Police Department’s official police chaplains, which he still holds today. The Lakeville Police Department has called on Bellows over 500 times to perform duties like direct traffic at accidents scenes, look for lost children, and deliver death notifications to individuals who lived in the city. I was with Bellows when he told a mother and her daughter that her son was found deceased as a result of a homicide. Bellows provided this family with the comfort and compassion they needed to get through this devastating incident. Bellows wanted to improve his community even more and became mayor. The city of Lakeville has

benefitted from Bellows’ dedicated service and has continued to grow and improve. In my opinion, Bellows is one of the most honest, loyal, and compassionate individuals I know. His integrity is strong and his morals and values are even stronger. Bellows is not a career politician, and he will continue to make good decisions with an open mind. He will always keep the city of Lakeville’s best interest a top priority. Mark Bellows needs to be re-elected as mayor. Under his leadership, the city of Lakeville will continue to carry its excellent image and reputation. I am no longer a resident in the city of Lakeville, but still endorse him for mayor. MARK HOLDEN Worthington

Rieb has been a strong advocate To the editor: I am pleased to offer my support to Laurie Rieb in her quest to become the next mayor of Lakeville. Rieb has been a strong advocate for Lakeville, where she has lived for 25 years. She is an eight-year member of the Lakeville Convention & Visitors Bureau Board of Directors, and a 12-year member of both the Lakeville Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown Lakeville Business Association. There are those people who talk about what needs to be done, and there are those who do what needs to be done. Rieb does what needs to be done to help her community continue to grow and be healthy and vital. With six years of experience on the Lakeville Planning Commission, and as a 12-year mem-

ber of the Lakeville City Council, she has gained much insight into the needs, and wants, of the community. Rieb understands the responsibilities involved in being mayor, and is willing to dedicate the time and effort needed. She does not have a political agenda. Her goal is to do what is best for the people and the businesses of Lakeville. I am a 20-plus-year Lakeville resident and was the owner of The Chart House Restaurant from 1981 to 2005. I have personally worked with Rieb, on numerous occasions, when she was a chairperson for the Lewis House Women’s Charity Golf Tournament. I found her to be organized, have good leadership skills, and a personality that lends itself well in dealing with all kinds of people and situations. She has the dedication, drive and constructive leadership we need to move forward in a positive direction I strongly believe that Rieb, with her strength of character and positive work ethic, is the person we need representing our interests. Join me at the polls and elect Laurie Rieb for Lakeville mayor. FRANK SCHOEBEN Lakeville

Supports Little

plies? Who is in the thick of things, volunteering time (all the while working on a law degree) and knowledge and passion to get things done around here? He’s not just shaking your hand at public gatherings around town. He is pitching in to help. I’ve seen an apron around his waist a lot more often than I’ve seen a napkin around his neck. Who else can say that? I taught Little when he was in second grade and will always, much to his chagrin, think of him as a kid. Little still is that kid who plays nice in the sandbox, but he also is a strong supporter for everyone in it and is not afraid to stand up to those who don’t play fair. Our business community continues to need a successful, thriving citizenry. They need consumers who want to live here because of all of the services and activities we have to offer. We need advocates for our businesses as well as advocates for our people: the elderly and young, our schools from infancy to community education, to those who enjoy our glistering lakes and majestic parks. All must be represented with a clear, positive message from a true leader. I want to be proud of our leader and speaker. I want a mayor who represents all of Lakeville and is its true ambassador. We are blessed to have some good mayoral candidates. Little is the best. Great things come in “Little” packages. Remember to vote this November – and vote Matt Little for mayor.

To the editor: It’s been interesting watching the Lakeville City Council. I wonder what would have happened had there not been Matt Little’s strong voice. Would the Senior Center/Heritage Center have JOANN VUCINOVICH happened? Where would Lakeville our hurting citizens get needed clothes and sup-

Business A new space to prepare for that race CrossFit combination gym opens off I-35 by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK

There are more ways than ever to get your exercise fix in Lakeville these days. Mi5 Fitness and Lakeville CrossFit – a combination CrossFit gym that offers personal training and rehabilitation – hopes to stand out after officially opening Sept. 22. CrossFit gyms have been sprouting all over the metro area, becoming a popular form of exercise for several reasons, according to Mi5 Fitness and Lakeville CrossFit coowner Chris Giesking. A big one is the community it builds. “Taking care of yourself and going through a really hard workout together, it really brings people together,” Giesking said. One of the main attractions of CrossFit is the structure. It’s constantly varied and based on functional movement at a high intensity. Every class features a workout of the day, or WOD, often named after fallen servicemen. “If you just go to your own gym without anyone telling you what to do, it’s really easy to slack,” Giesking said. “The big thing is being evidence-based.” At the end of the workout, participants record their time to measure themselves against previous training sessions. “A reason why CrossFit is exploding is it’s finally a way for people to be accountable for their fitness,” Giesking said. CrossFit gyms focus more on basic training using equipment such as gymnastics rings, pull-up

If you just do bench press and squats, you’re seeing massive amounts of injuries and people aren’t really ever learning anything.” Their location is more than just a CrossFit gym, according to the owners. “CrossFit started out in a garage,” Giesking said. “They’re very raw and rough.” Mi5 Fitness brings together personal training with one-on-one sessions and small-group fitness along with classes focused on mobility and

stability, a boot camp, a Fit Teens class and, of course, CrossFit. One of the owners, chiropractor James Midboe, will have an office on site. In the future they plan on adding massage therapy and nutrition consultation. Owners Giesking, Franz, Midboe, along with operations manager Jared Cooley and financial manager Steve Jones, feel the combination will set them apart from other fitness centers and CrossFit gyms in the south metro. Mi5 Fitness doesn’t have the rows of ellipticals and treadmills you’ll find at your typical gym, but they have more than the average CrossFit gym because of the personal training side of the business.

To fit all of that in along with showers and business offices, the owners chose a 6,500-squarefoot location, larger than the average CrossFit location, in a former auction/ consignment business location at 16320 Kenrick Loop by Ghost Riders. “We still have that raw feeling,” Franz said. “The biggest expense was the equipment and outfitting the building.” They started with a budget of $60,000 for equipment, but it quickly shuffled around to outfit the building. The fact there are no rows of ellipticals or treadmills, which cost from $5,000 to $15,000, saved a lot. The location has been a boon for business so far, with the sign and facility within sight of Interstate 35.

Eagan to allow backyard chickens by end of month New ordinance amendment to allow five chickens on residential property by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK

By the end of this month, Eagan homeowners will be able to raise chickens in their backyards thanks to an amended city ordinance. On Oct. 16, the City Council unanimously approved an ordinance amendment to allow residents to raise a few chickens on residential property. Mayor Mike Maguire and Council Member Cyndee Fields were absent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will be educational for the families who have chickens, and for that reason I support this,â&#x20AC;? said Council Member Gary Hansen, who grew up on a farm that raised chickens and other animals. The decision is welcome news for Eagan resident Barb Harpster, who plans to raise a small number of chickens in her backyard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very glad we are joining other cities in allowing chickens,â&#x20AC;? Harpster said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re great for organic gardening.â&#x20AC;? Harpster, who grows a

variety of heirloom vegetables and flowers, noted that chickens provide natural pest control and fertilizer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The educational value to my kids is wonderful,â&#x20AC;? said Harpster, who has two children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great way for them to learn about animals and responsibility.â&#x20AC;? The issue was brought to the City Council in June by some residents who challenged the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current ordinance prohibiting chickens and other farm animals in nonagricultural areas. The amendment, which is set to go into effect Oct. 26, allows residents to raise up to five chickens in the backyard of a singlefamily home. Residents will be prohibited from raising chickens at townhomes or apartments, and will be prohibited from keeping roosters on residential property. The amendment also prohibits the slaughter of animals and the sale of eggs on residential property.

Backyard chicken owners will be required to have fences to keep the birds within the property and to â&#x20AC;&#x153;reasonablyâ&#x20AC;? match the exterior of the chicken coop to the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finish. The amendment requires chicken coops to have a 10-foot setback from property lines and a 25-foot setback from dwellings. Residents are required to obtain a $50 permit, which can be revoked if the owner fails to comply with requirements of the ordinance or of the homeownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; association. Residents will be required to have their property inspected to obtain a permit and a renewal. The permit fee is consistent with the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fee for pigeons on residential properties. Council Member Paul Bakken suggested that city officials examine lowering the permit fee in the future if feasible. Chickens wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be allowed in homes or garages due to health concerns. According to the University of Minnesota Ex-

tension, which studies agricultural issues, humans can contract bacterial and respiratory infections by keeping chickens in their living spaces. Though Avian flu is a common concern, there are no cases being transmitted from birds to humans in the United States, according to the U of M Extension. Although residents will not be required to inform their neighbors before acquiring chickens, Bakken encouraged people to work with their neighbors out of courtesy. Eaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amendment is consistent with chicken ordinances in other cities. To date, 14 Minnesota cities have adopted ordinances allowing small numbers of chickens in residential areas. Although most neighboring cities donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t address coop space for each chicken, Eaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ordinance will require coops to have a minimum of 2 square feet of interior floor space for each chicken. This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the first ordinance change to allow

Lakeville Fire Chief Mike Meyer has announced that, beginning immediately, there is a complete burning ban in Lakeville, including all recreational fires. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has moved Dakota County into the high-risk zone due to very dry and windy conditions that would allow fires to start easily, spread quickly, and burn intensely. The ban will remain in effect until further notice.

Crime Eagan police chase ends in Man charged in Burnsville suicide threat on I-35E bridge over road-rage incident by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK

Police say a convicted sex offender led them on a high-speed chase through Eagan Tuesday, which ended with the man threatening to jump off a Mississippi River bridge. Oudone Xiong, 37, of St. Paul was on probation in Ramsey County for first-degree criminal sexual conduct, and had allegedly told his probation officer on Oct. 16 he felt suicidal. The probation officer reported Xiong’s claim to police at 1:47 p.m. that day. Eagan officers were told Xiong was driving a blue Ford Ranger near Pilot Knob Road and Duckwood Drive. Officers found Xiong parked behind a business near the intersection of Krestwood and Duckwood drives. Before officers could approach Xiong, he drove

away, according to police records. Two Eagan officers began following Xiong at about 2:35 p.m. on a highspeed chase. While driving east on Duckwood Drive, Xiong failed to stop at the intersection of Denmark and Duckwood Drive and continued north on Denmark, according to police. He again allegedly failed to stop at a red light at Yankee Doodle Road and turned west onto Interstate 35E. Officers chased Xiong at speeds reaching 90 mph. When Xiong approached the I-35E bridge over the Mississippi River in Mendota Heights, he stopped suddenly, fled his truck and began climbing the railing to stand on the edge of the bridge. Police say Xiong held on to the railing and threatened to jump. At some point, the Minnesota State Patrol,

Mendota Heights Police and Fire, Apple Valley and St. Paul police, and Ramsey, Hennepin and Dakota county sheriff departments arrived. Officers ended up negotiating with Xiong until about 8:30 p.m., when Xiong agreed to be evaluated at Region’s Hospital. The incident caused traffic to be backed up between Mendota Heights and St. Paul. Xiong is currently held at Ramsey County Jail, and is expected to be charged by the Dakota County Attorney’s Office with fleeing a police officer in a motor vehicle. He was convicted of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, a felony, in 2011 for engaging in sexual contact with a person under age 13.

A Burnsville driver is accused of striking another vehicle with a tire iron Imtiaz Khan during an Oct. 7 road-rage incident on County Road 11 in Burnsville. The other driver and a witness who called out to the alleged attacker, 36-year-old Imtiaz Khan, told police they feared Khan would turn the tire iron on them. Khan is charged in Dakota County District Court with three counts of second-degree assault. Police were called at 12:41 p.m. to an intersection where a southbound vehicle was stopped in the middle traffic lane. It had a silver dollar-sized

puncture in its tailgate and scratch marks on the driver’s side window, the criminal complaint said. The driver told police he had stopped behind another vehicle, whose driver – Khan – motioned for him to back up. The driver told Khan he didn’t need to back up because Khan wasn’t in the intersection. Police confirmed there was enough room in front of the driver’s vehicle for Khan’s vehicle. Khan allegedly backed into the other vehicle, got out of his car, grabbed a tire iron from the trunk and approached the other driver, who also got out of his vehicle. Khan allegedly hit the driver’s side door of the other vehicle with the tire iron and then the tailgate as he approached the driv-

er. A witness said Khan swung the tire iron at the victim “in an aggressive manner,” the complaint said. Another witness called out to Khan, who walked toward the man. The man told police he tried to keep a distance from Khan, whom he feared would use the tire iron on him. A third witness told police she thought Khan was going to hit the driver behind him with the tire iron. A witness gave the license plate number, and police found Khan minutes later in Apple Valley. His wife was in the car and was clearly upset; she told police she feared her husband would hit the driver behind him, the complaint said. — John Gessner

Lakeville man charged for child porn photos Images were allegedly stored on computers

St. Paul man pleads guilty to sex trafficking in Eagan hotel by Jessica Harper DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A St. Paul man pleaded guilty to trafficking two minors for sex in an Eagan hotel. Giorgio Jovan Baymon, 25, pleaded guilty on Oct. 5 in a Ramsey County District Court to promotion of prostitution of minors. As a part of Baymon’s plea, he agreed to testify against his codefendant Brandon Barnes and any other uncharged codefendants. “We are very pleased with the plea agreement in this case,” Ramsey County Attorney John Choi said in a news release. According to the criminal complaint, officers from the Minneapolis Police Department and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security began tracking two teenage girls in May who they suspected of being prostituted.

When officers located the girls, ages 16 and 17, the teens allegedly told the officers they were forced by Baymon and Barnes to prostitute themselves at a hotel in Eagan. Both girls were listed on Backpage.com, with explicit photographs and their cell phone numbers, which was posted by Baymon. After Baymon told the girls about their ad on Backpage.com, men began visiting the hotel room for sex in exchange for money. One man gave Baymon marijuana in exchange for sex with one of the girls. Hotel video surveillance allegedly showed Baymon handing money to Barnes who then paid for the room. Baymon is scheduled to be sentenced on Nov. 29 in Ramsey County District Court. He faces up to 14 years in prison.

Baymon has several past convictions includes second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon and felony domestic assault in 2008 and 2010, respectively. Baymon’s plea follows an Elko man who pleaded guilty in September to four counts of engaging in prostitution with a minor for paying for sex with the girls. Mickey Albert Cupkie, 36, met the girls at the hotel after responding to the online ad. Cupkie is scheduled to be sentenced on Nov. 1 in Ramsey County District Court. The girls were never charged with prostitution since they are considered victims of sex trafficking, according to the county attorney’s office.

A Lakeville man faces felony child porn charges after police say they found images on his computer depicting graphic sex acts involving teenagers age 13 to 16. The Carver County Sheriff ’s Department began investigating Robert Russell Terrell, 22, in July 2011 after reports that he had allegedly been having sex with his then-15-yearold girlfriend, according to the criminal complaint. The Sheriff ’s Department found seized property after the execution of an initial search warrant. An additional search war-

rant three months later allowed deputies to investigate Terrell’s computers. They found multiple images, which were sent to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and according to the complaint matched teens in the database. In June 2012 an investigator for the Lakeville Police Department informed Terrell that Carver County had found child pornography on Terrell’s two computers. According to the complaint, Terrell did not appear to the investigator to be upset by the news but instead said, “I don’t remember putting any on

the computer.” Terrell then confirmed ownership of computers, indicating he had owned them for a long time. Regarding the images, according to the complaint, Terrell told the investigator that he had “received a file from a buddy.” Terrell is charged with one felony count of possession of pornographic work involving minors. If sentenced, Terrell could face up to five years in prison. Aaron Vehling can be reached at aaron.vehling@ecm-inc. com or facebook.com/sunthisweek.

Strip comes alive with new restaurants The Rack, Hurricane open on Aldrich Avenue by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK

Wings with attitude are back on a Burnsville frontage road known in recent years for its empty buildings and departed Hooters Restaurant. Two new bar-restaurants opened in recent weeks on Aldrich Avenue west of Interstate 35W and south of Burnsville Parkway. The chicken wingslinging Hooters, whose November 2010 closing followed the shuttering of the same owners’ Hooters locations in St. Cloud and downtown Minneapolis, is now the site of Hurricane Grill and Wings. While the Floridabased chain serves up wings, beers and other fare with an oceanside vibe, the competitor two doors down is keeping the Hooters legacy in its rearview mirror. The Rack Bar and Grill is designed to evoke a hunting or fishing lodge, except hunting and fishing lodges don’t usually come with a wait-staff crew called the Rack Girls. These servers dress for the indoors, in black shorts and camouflage tank tops. The business is in the old Timber Lodge Steakhouse building, which was

vacant longer than Hooters. Troy Benesh, general manager of the Burnsville Hurricane Grill and Wings, said the sudden appearance of two barrestaurants on a previously moribund commercial strip can only benefit both. “My opinion is, high tides float all boats,” said Benesh, who was previously part-owner of the Dickey’s Barbecue Pit location in Burnsville’s Heart of the City. “I look at it strictly as a positive. It gives people an option, more reason to come by.” Between the two buildings is a retail building that housed a store called The Parrot before it also went dark. A new occupant, Halal Groceries, arrived this spring. “We’re happy. Everything is full up on that corner,” said Skip Nienhaus, Burnsville’s economic development coordinator.

The Rack Rack Girls are “easy on the eyes,” said general manager Kevin Martinez, who owns the restaurant with two other partners. Martinez, of Savage, knows this territory. He spent 15 years opening and managing Hooters

Customers are greeted by a rack of caribou antlers at the entrance. “Without the Rack Girls, we wouldn’t be the Rack Bar and Grill,” Martinez said. “The Rack Girl is the essence and key to our concept.” Rack also refers to the tender ribs on the menu, which includes burgers and other bar fare. “Chicken wings —

The Burnsville location of Hurricane Grill and Wings is the first in Minnesota for the Floridabased chain, which has nearly 50 restaurants in seven states. The Burnsville restaurant is owned by Torgerson properties, which owns and operates restaurants and hotels in Minnesota and Naples, Fla. Hurricane touts its 32 flavors of jumbo wings on a menu of “island-inspired” flavors. “Our speciality is great wings, great burgers, great wraps — just fresh flavors,” Benesh said. Improvements to the building include fresh landscaping, an outdoor patio with fire pit, new lights in the parking lot, a fresh coat of paint on the outside and a refurbished interior. “If you saw an old surf shack along the beach somewhere, that’s just the vibe,” Benesh said. “You’re going from that dark ’80s decor to that light beach theme,” he said. “It’s 80 and sunny in Burnsville every day. That’s my new tag line.”

Among the offerings on the sculpture tour are â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pompeii,â&#x20AC;? awash in what seem to be petrified skulls and skeletons, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Snake,â&#x20AC;? a massive coiled reptile.

EdenPURE reopens Ohio factory creates 250 new jobs ®

New models shipped direct from warehouse at 49% savings Richard Karn, North Canton, Ohio

I was fortunate enough to attend the grand opening of the new EdenPURE® factory in North Canton, Ohio. The new plant brought hundreds of new jobs back to Ohio and reversed the common practice of sending Midwest manufacturing jobs to China. Now, EdenPURE® continues to ramp up production for the coming Winter with exciting new models and hundreds of new employees as this Made in America success story continues to grow. American Labor, American Quality With over 3 million portable heaters sold EdenPURE ® is the best selling portable infrared heating system in North America. However, like any classic, EdenPURE ® has dozens of would-be competitors who create Asian copies at low prices using cheap, foreign labor. Don’t be fooled by these imitations. Look for the EdenPURE® logo and the Made in North Canton, Ohio stamp. Save like millions of others on your heating bills and say “NO” to cheap foreign imitators. Save up to 49% on 2013 EdenPURE®s Now readers can save up to 49% ($229 the largest savings ever on new EdenPURE ® s). EdenPURE® is not just the best-selling portable heating system in North America. As an EdenPURE® owner I rank EdenPURE® #1 for quality, safety and efficiency. And now is the perfect time to save like never before on our expanded 2013 EdenPURE ® line made in our brand new North Canton, Ohio facility. With two models EdenPURE® can meet all of your heating requirements 365 days a year. Stay Comfortable 365 Days a Year “Never be cold again” is the EdenPURE® promise. EdenPURE® provides you insurance against the cold all year long. Stay comfortable on those unseasonably chilly evenings no matter the season. I live in California but believe me it gets cold at night. Keep your expensive furnace turned down until it’s absolutely necessary. And if we are fortunate enough to experience a mild winter as many of us did in the Midwest last year, you keep your furnace off all season

Never be cold again

How it works:

CUTAWAY VIEW

Heats floor to the same temperature as ceiling.

3. The soft heat “rides” the humidity in the room and provides even, moist, soft heat ceiling to floor and wall to wall without reducing oxygen and humidity.

1. Electricity ignites powerful SYLVANIA infrared lamp. 2. The quartz infrared lamp gently warms the patented copper heating chambers.

EdenFLOW™

PERSONAL

MODEL 750

As Al Borland on Home Improvement I was the man with all the answers. However, as Richard Karn I still look for money saving and efficient heating in my home. I have an EdenPURE® Infrared Portable Heater in my California home and like millions of others found it to be a super-safe, reliable source of portable heat all year long. and save even bigger. New, More Efficient Models The engineers at EdenPURE ® listened to their millions of customers and somehow managed to improve the #1 portable heater in North America. Through old fashioned American ingenuity the new EdenPURE® line is more efficient to save you even more money. The EdenPURE ® Personal Heater now heats a larger area, an increase from 350 square feet to 500 square feet. That’s a 30% increase in efficiency! And EdenPURE ® is proud to introduce the 2013 Model 750. The new Model 750 is perfect for larger areas and heats up to 750 square feet. But the best thing about the Model 750 is the price. We priced the Model 750 at only $50 above the Personal Heater. This means you receive a 33% increase in performance for only $50. That’s American engineering at its best! The EdenPURE® can cut your heating bills and pay for itself in a matter of weeks, and then start

putting a great deal of extra money in your pocket after that. Super Safe Infrared Heat Now remember, a major cause of residential fires in the United States is carelessness and faulty portable heaters. The choice of fire and safety professional, Captain Mike Hornby, the EdenPURE® has no exposed heating elements that can cause a fire. And a redundant home protection system that simply shuts the EdenPURE® down if it senses danger. That’s why grandparents and parents love the EdenPURE®. The outside of the EdenPURE® only gets warm to the touch so that it will not burn children or pets. And your pet may be just like my dog who has reserved a favorite spot near the EdenPURE ® . You see the EdenPURE® uses infrared heat. And just as pets enjoy basking in a beam of sunlight they try to stay close to EdenPURE ® ’s “bone-warming” infrared heat. The Health Secret is in the Copper

technology uses copper heating chambers to take the energy provided by our special SYLVANIA infrared bulbs and distribute our famous soft heat evenly throughout the room. Now our copper isn’t ordinary. It’s 99.9% pure antimicrobial copper from an over 150 year old American owned company in Pennsylvania. So your EdenPURE ® heater is continuously pushing soft, healthy, infrared heat throughout your room.

Fogarty told this newspaper the Water Board is planning to build a water treatment plant with that money. Schorzman said the city’s stormwater fund balance is $578,566 and its solid waste fund is $346,194. Farmington also has funds with negative cash balances. According to McKnight, the city’s streetlight utility fund has a $17,663 deficit; the Economic Development Authority’s budget is in the red $36,243 now, but is expected to have an $800 balance by year-end. He said the ice arena fund has a $286,505 deficit. The liquor store’s cash balance is $170,813.

SUN THISWEEK - Farmington - Lakeville October 19, 2012

CRIME LAB, from 1A Attorney James Backstrom has directed the county stop using after testimony revealed the lab’s lack of standard operating procedures, training, documentation and validation testing to ensure consistent and reliable testing. Dakota County Chief Deputy Attorney Phil Prokopowicz refused comment about his situation defending the lab’s practices at the hearing, but said one of the witnesses he plans to call to testify is Eric Gruenwald, an analyst for the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension where Dakota County now sends its drug evidence. Of the 98 pending drug cases retested by the BCA for Dakota, Washington and Ramsey counties so far, Prokopowicz said 97 test results were confirmed. One Ramsey County drug case was dismissed Sept. 27 after retesting found the evidence was not methamphetamine.

Dakota County has also reduced or dropped charges in about five drug cases the BCA refused to test because only trace evidence remained, Prokopowicz said. He added the county also has at least 20 cases with trace evidence at the BCA awaiting retesting. While the Frye-Mack ruling will only directly pertain to the four remaining cases included in the hearing, chief public defender Steve Holmgren said there could be hundreds more drug cases in the three counties that could also be challenged as a result of the crime lab revelations. He said the state is anticipating post-conviction release petitions and is seeking grant money to help fund the added defense work. Holmgren added Washington and Ramsey counties are also working on challenging some of the other testing procedures at the St. Paul crime lab, such

as fingerprints and blood stains. “If they are not using scientific methods in the drug lab, it certainly raises issues about what methods they are using for fingerprints or whatever,” Holmgren said. Dakota County primarily used the lab for drug testing, but could have a few fingerprint or blood stain cases there as well, he said. But appeals could also come from cases around the state, because the Minnesota State Patrol also used the crime lab to test evidence in its cases. Holmgren said many in the criminal justice system were surprised to learn of the St. Paul crime lab problems. “I think most of us or all of us basically were working under the assumptions that these folks are scientists and use scientific methods,” Holmgren said. “We were stunned, I think the entire justice system

FEES, from 1A

was stunned. Nobody had any suspicion that this was really as shoddy as it has turned out to be.” Holmgren said the FryeMack hearing illustrates how important it is for crime labs to be accredited in Minnesota, and he expects the issue will come up at the Legislature next session. There are 18 agencies in Minnesota that are selfidentified crime labs, and the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office also runs an unaccredited lab. There are few accredited crime labs in Minnesota: the two BCA labs, the Minneapolis Police Department and the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Department. “I’m hoping the state takes a position that there needs to be some oversight and an accreditation process,” Holmgren said.

Fogarty said she agrees the council needs an understanding of cash flow on the funds, but did not think they should wait until they have that information to take action. “I understand and completely agree we need to have a real good understanding of what the cash flow is on these (funds) and what’s going where,” Fogarty said. “But that doesn’t change what’s going in … and coming out in a year. We need to keep that flat so we’re not going in a hole.” She said people pay the storm water fees expecting not to have a huge assessment because that money has been built up over the years. At the workshop, May had questioned whether the city could avoid increasing fees by utilizing fund balances, but the council was not provided those fund balance amounts. In an email, Schorzman

Cremation Society of Minnesota

THE NEW TRADITION What is the Cremation Society of Minnesota? The Cremation Society of Minnesota is Minnesota’s largest provider of cremation services. Society members come from all social, religious, and economic backgrounds, finding unity in their mutual attraction of the simplicity of the cremation rite. They choose to dispense with costly and unnecessary pomp associated with conventional funerals, and commit themselves and their families to this dignified disposition at the time of death. Our membership plan allows families to make all arrangements in advance, thereby relieving survivors of the need to make urgent decisions while in the state of grief. Preplanning provides families with complete peace of mind, both emotionally and financially. At the time of death, our counselors are available to assist your survivors in arranging for memorial services, obtaining certified copies of the death certificate, cemetery services, grave makers and monuments, obituaries for the newspaper and paperwork for Social Security and Veterans’ benefits.

The Cremation Society Of Minnesota also services Wisconsin

Questions & Answers About Cremation Society of Minnesota Q. How does the Cremation Society of Minnesota Work? A. The Cremation Society is notified immediately at the time of death. Then the member’s body is transported to the Society’s crematory where it is held until proper medical authorization is secured. The cremation permit is then completed, and the body is cremated. Q. Does the body have to be embalmed? A. No. With the Cremation Society of Minnesota’s modern facilities the body does not have to be embalmed.

Q. At the time of death, what is the cost for the cremation service? A. The cost of the basic cremation service which includes removal of the body from the place of death, cremation, filing of the necessary papers and cardboard container suitable for burial is presently $1395.00 for members. This is payable at the time services are rendered. The charge to non-members, whom we also service, is more. Q. How do I join the Cremation Society of Minnesota? A. Fill out the registration form and mail it to our office with a one time registration fee of $15.00 per person. This fee defrays the cost of setting up and maintaining your records. It is not refundable nor an offset to the final service costs. We will register you and send you wallet-sized membership cards and certificate of registration. Members may call or write us regarding any related questions.

Heritage Center. It got bad enough that Swecker and Council Member Laurie Rieb called for a special meeting to address the toxic atmosphere. Bares said that he has talked with former council members who told him that there were disagreements in the past, “but in the end the councils of past pulled together.” “Lakeville is an honorable city,” he said. “Respect for others is taught in the schools and at home.” Bares is vice chairman of the board for Opportunity Partners, an organization that helps people with disabilities find jobs and attain financial stability. He said that on that board, he has learned how a group of different people and opinions can find ways to get along and get things done. Friendship and trust can go a long way,” he said. Swecker recalls that when she was first appointed to the council in 2007, it was “much more civil than it was recently.” She said that she does not think the entire council has had issues with decorum. Nevertheless, “the current City Council needs to deal with issues and not personalities.” She referred to the special meeting in 2011 and said that most of the personality differences were worked out then. “I’ve always taken an even stance,” Swecker said. “I consider compromise. That’s what I’ve always done.” The topic of a “dysfunctional council” has come up often while Anderson has been door-knocking. “It does appear there are clearly perceptions, if not realities,” he said. The council must come together through a shared mission and vision and commit to civil dialogue and a respect for others, he said. “Compromise will happen sometimes through negotiation and trade-offs, but when they make the decision, they need to go forward as a team.”

Closing remarks In their closing remarks, each candidate highlighted key reasons they deserve to be elected (or re-elected) to the council. Anderson pointed to his 30 years of business and community service experience, as well as his personal integrity. He also mentioned his respect for the principles of fiscal conservatism. In addition, he quoted some advice he received from his father-in-law, the late Jerry Erickson, a Lakeville businessman and pioneer: “Be honest with all you do and serve the community.” Bares highlighted his experience starting and operating his small business and raising a family under that paradigm. “I have the vision, the experience and the temperament,” he said. “I will bring new ideas while retaining the best of what we have to offer.” Swecker mentioned her five years on the City Council, five years on the Planning Commission before that and a total of 20 years of community advocacy and service. While she said all the candidates were quality people, she said her experience sets her apart from Bares and Anderson. “I’m a proven budget-cutter and a voice of reason,” she said. “I provide input and am always engaged. She added that she always asks questions and does her homework. “I come prepared,” she said. “After I’ve taken all sides in and done my homework, I make the best decision possible for this community.” The full forum will be available on the city’s website, along with last week’s mayoral forum. The city’s cable network will also replay both events. The next Chamber forum focuses on legislative candidates and will take place Oct. 23 at 11 a.m. during the Chamber’s general membership luncheon.

Panther soccer qualifies for state Girls team repeats as Section 1AA champs ` Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK

The Lakeville North girls soccer team qualified for state for the second year in a row Tuesday night with a 2-0 victory against Farmington. Lakeville North had the upper hand through most of the game, but it was scoreless at halftime leaving the top-seeded Panthers open for an upset against No. 3 seed Farmington. “We were nervous going into this game,” senior Simone Kolander said. “They’re able to counterattack. We knew they would play us tough.” Kolander eventually headed in a corner kick giving the team a 1-0 lead in the second half. “They were all over us, it was just a matter of time before they were going to score,” Farmington coach Rob Carpentier said. “That’s a really good team.” It seemed to put a spark into the Tigers facing a one-goal deficit. “I told my staff if I knew they were going to play like this after a goal, I would have allowed them to score in the first five minutes,” Carpentier said. “We were a foot away from tying the game.” With less than five minutes remaining, Farmington had perhaps its best chance to score only to have the Panthers’ counter attack and force a fouron-one fast break. Hannah Cade found Kolander isolated oneon-one and her shot got through to put the Panthers up 2-0. It was Cade’s second assist of the night.

Lakeville North’s Samantha Deutsch (2), Lauren Brownrigg (21), Grace Rath (13) and Lauren Sherry (17) celebrate during the final moments of the 2-0 victory over Farmington on Tuesday in the Section 1AA final. Cade feels nothing but confidence after the win. “All the girls know they can come back and have faith in the team,” Cade said. “All the girls have the attitude that we’re going to win.” The girls hope their experience at the Class AA state tournament next week is different than their last when they went 1-2. “Last year was devastating,” Lakeville North head coach Bulut Ozturk said. “We really didn’t come out to play in the (Metro)dome. The moment was too big for them. This year they understand it’s not easy to get there.”

Last season the Panthers were undefeated heading into the state tournament. After shutting out Anoka 3-0 in the state quarterfinal, the Panthers ran into a Wayzata, which beat the Panthers in a shootout. “We were just humbled about getting to state,” Kolander said. “This year we want to win state and I think it’s an attainable goal. We’re not just happy to be there.” Shootouts only come in to play during playoffs. Ozturk devoted extra practice time on shootouts with competitions with the boys soccer team. “Their goalie is going

to be a lot faster than anyone we’re going to see,” Kolander said. “Our girls who are going to take the five shots are going to be ready.” The Panthers will play in the Class AA state tournament starting Oct. 24. The loss ends a thrilling year for the Tigers. It was the first time the girls soccer team had a home game during the playoffs, won a playoff game and the first time the girls played in a section championship. “A lot of records set and it was year of firsts for this team,” Carpentier said. “It was an awesome year. I wish we would have taken that next step, but there’s no shame in losing to this team.”

(second in 100/200 freestyle), Alena Bodnaruk (first in the 500 free, second in the 200 individual medley), Wahlstrom (first in the 100 butterfly, second in the 100 backstroke) and Kleiner (first in the 50 freestyle and third in the 100 butterfly). Other valuable points came from Spencer (fourth in the 50 free, eighth in the 100 fly), Annika Skansberg (third in the 500 free and ninth in the 100 breast), Erin O’Brien (eighth/seventh in the 50/100 free), Darian Watkins (eighth in the 200 IM, ninth in the 100 back), Kira Quittem (seventh in the 100 back, ninth in the 200 IM), Monica Mitteness (sixth in the 200 IM), and Hannah Anderson (eighth in the 100 breast).

True on Saturday coming away with a fourth-place finish. The Cougars notched championship swims at the meet from freshman teammates Brianna Alexander (200 individual medley and 100 breaststroke) and Shea Bougie (100 backstroke). Alexander’s swim in the 200 IM broke the Section 2AA True Team record in the process. Before the meet, the Cougars fell to a deep Prior Lake team on Oct. 9. “They’re ranked in the Top 10 in the state for a reason,” Cougar head coach Rick Ringeisen said. “We gave it our all, but they just had too much depth for us to hang in there. Individually, I thought our kids gave solid efforts and came away better Lakeville South swimmers after this one.” The Lakers won two of Lakeville South was the host of the Section 2AA three relays and four of eight

North boys soccer team ended No. 7 Lakeville South’s season 3-0. Joey Decklever had two goals in the win and Dominic Sprung scored the other. The Cougars had lost 16 straight since winning its season opener over Rochester John Marshall. The Panthers went on to play in the semifinal game Saturday, but lost at home to No. 3 seed Owatonna 2-0. Lakeville North was 7-1-1 at one point this season, but struggled in the second half to finish 8-82.

Cougar girls With the No. 4 seed, the Lakeville South girls soccer team made quick work of No. 5 Rochester Century on Oct. 11 winning 7-1. But in the next round, the girls visited top seed Lakeville North and lost 6-0 with Kolander, Sarah Fisco and Cade each scoring twice. The Cougars’ season ends with an 8-9-1 record.

With the No. 5 seed, the Tigers boys soccer season came to an end Oct. 11 in the first round of the Section 1AA playoff with a 3-0 loss at No. 4 seed Rochester Mayo. “I would say the first 30 minutes were the most intense,” head coach Julian Lakeville boys Buss said. “We came out In the Section 1AA Andy Rogers can be reached fighting with very good quarterfinal game Oct. at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com hustle as we executed the 11, No. 2 seed Lakeville or facebook.com/sunthisweek.

Panther swimmers qualify for True Team State The Lakeville North girls swim team made a powerful statement Saturday afternoon by winning the True Team Section 2AA Championship. The North girls outswam defending champion Prior Lake and will next compete at True Team State Championship on Saturday at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center. The True Team format rewards depth as every members’ score counts. “We’re stronger with every passing week,” head coach Dan Schneider said. “You know the drill. We spotted the other teams a sizeable number of diving points and then proceeded to reel them in. Our talent persevered in race after race. Winning this title means a great deal to me. It’s a testament to the hard work put in by every member of my team.” The Panther scoring machine was powered by wins in all three relay events. The 200-yard medley relay quartet of Zoya Wahlstrom, Alena Bodnaruk, Erin Kleiner and Emily Spencer held off a strong Prior Lake attack touching in a time of 1 minute, 53.89 seconds. The team of Julia Bodnaruk, Brenna Smith, Spencer and Kleiner won the 200 freestyle relay in 1:42.96. The team of Alena Bodnaruk, Smith, Wahlstrom and Julia Bodnaruk established a new Section 2AA True Team record in the 400 freestyle relay with a winning time of 3:40.19. Individually, the Panthers received big-time scoring from Julia Bodnaruk (first in 100/200 freestyle) and Smith

plan we had worked on in practice ... Eventually Mayo got the upper hand. To say we had opportunities is an understatement with six quality shots on goal, six corner kick opportunities, multiple direct kick opportunities, multiple fast break opportunities on transitions.” Farmington had its best finish yet in the Missota Conference (third), and it was the team’s second year in a row with at least a .500 win average even with a tougher schedule. “I would say that in the history of the program I have never seen such commitment and desire to learn from a group as I did from the boys who ended up finishing up the season,” Buss said. “I feel privileged to have been able to work with such a talented and motivated group.” The team’s season ends with an 8-8-1 record, which includes a victory over top Section 1AA seed Northfield.

individual events at the meet. Carrie Schrock (50, 100 freestyle) and Alexander (200 IM, 100 breaststroke) were the lone individual winners for the Cougars on the evening. The 4x100 relay team of Schrock, Bougie, Jarin Simpson and Alexander also landed a first place tally for South. Mikayla DePauw and Tia Hansen-Brownlee rounded out the scoring by placing fourth and fifth, respectively, in the diving competition. Lakeville South girls swimming solidified a winning record in the South Suburban Conference with a 96-82 win against Apple Valley on Oct. 4 winning all three relays and six of eight individual events. Individual winners included Bougie (50, 500 freestyle), Jackie Johnson (200 freestyle), Taylor Perko (100 freestyle), Ashley Torborg (100 backstroke) and Alexander (100 breaststroke). “We put people in different positions tonight to see how they would react, and the girls took care of business,” Ringeisen said. “This experience will serve us well for later in the season when we may need people to swim in positions they’re not used to being in.” Next up the Cougars will host league leading Rosemount in their final conference dual of the season on Tuesday at Kenwood Trail Middle School in Lakeville. South will participate in the Section 2AA preliminaries and finals at Prior Lake at Hidden Oaks Middle School Pool on Nov. 7 and 9 with state qualifying positions on the line.

Tigers earn at least share of title Farmington tops Holy Angels, 41-28 by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK

The Farmington football team won at least a share of the Missota Conference title with a 48-21 victory over Holy Angels last Friday. The Tigers raced to a 38-7 lead after three quarters, but Holy Angels didn’t give up scoring 21 points in the final quarter. Without leading rusher Athen Ashton, who is out for the season, the Tigers still managed to dominate. Derek Klotter led the rushing attack with 140 yards on 34 carries and two touchdowns. Quarterback Darren Beenken had 10 carries for 73 yards and a touchdown and threw for 128 yards. Noah Kary ran for a touchdown and Jordan DeCrook threw a 57-yard catch-and-run to Johnny Dittman for a score. Mason Auge led the defense with 8.5 tackles and 1.5 sacks. Reid Taubenheim had 7.5 tackles, an interception, and kicked two field goals and five extra points. The win ensures a least a share for the Missota Conference title for the Tigers, who stood at 5-1 alone at the top of the standings with Holy Angels and Chanhassen at 4-2. The Tigers had one game left against Shakopee on Wednesday, after this edition went to press. The victory helps the Tigers’ chances at a higher seed when the section tournament begins next week. Farmington’s biggest rival in the Section 3-5A bracket appears to be Apple Valley. The Eagles are the largest team in Class 5A, the only other team to be ranked in the top 10 besides Farmington, and it’s schedule is mostly against 6A teams. The Eagles have had their best season in years. Many of the games have been close, but the speedy Eagles are armed with playmakers. Minneapolis Southwest is the only other team with winning record, but a few of the team’s victories in the Minneapolis City Conference have come against Class A teams such as Minneapolis North and Class AAA teams Minneapolis Roosevelt and Edison. The other teams have struggled with St. Louis Park and the Bloomington programs well below .500. The Section 3-5A tournament begins Tuesday, but the top two teams receive byes.

Tigers fifth at True Team meet Farmington swimmers priming for sections SUN THISWEEK

The Farmington girls swimming and diving team finished fifth at the Section 1AA True Team meet Oct. 13. The girls didn’t win any events, but a few got close. The Tigers finished third in the 200-yard medley relay, second in the 400 freestyle relay and fourth in the 200 freestyle relay. Kaitlyn O’Reilly helped the Tigers win several big points. She was second in the 200 individual medley and 100 backstroke as well as taking a lead role in the 400 freestyle and medley relays. “Kaitlyn is a very driven and dedicated studentathlete,” Farmington head coach Jennifer Marshall said. “She works hard every day in practice and leads by example in her workouts. She is swimming faster than last season at this point and we’re very excited to see how she performs at the end of the season.” Chelsea Gehrke was eighth in the 100 individual medley and 100 breaststroke and helped in the

freestyle relays. “Chelsea has really matured in her swimming over the last year and her times definitely prove that,” Marshall said. “She’s learned to race smarter and stay within herself. I’m excited to see how she tapers.” Kirsten Kracke was fourth in the 100 freestyle and sixth in the backstroke and helped in the 400 freestyle and medley relays. “Kirsten has really come into her own this year,” Marshall said. “Her practice habits have improved tremendously and that will only pay off at the end of the season. We’re planning on her to qualify for state as an individual this year as well.” Marshall praised Cora Ruzicka (eighth in 500, part of medley and 400 relays), Chloe Holton (200 relay), Robin Ellis (200 and medley relay), Ellie Sundet (seventh in freestyle) and Melanie Brothers (14th in diving). The girls were third in the Missota Conference relays, first in the Bloomington Kennedy Invitational and fifth in the

Theresa Johnson, a South St. Paul High School graduate now living in Lakeville, played Blugold tennis from 1981-84 and is a 1985 UW-Eau Claire marketing graduate.
