In honor of the city’s 150th anniversary, Eagan’s July 4th Funfest has added an extra day of fun and some new events to the celebra-tion on July 2-4 at the Eagan Community Center Festival Grounds. The July 4th Funfest event began 44 years ago as a chil-dren’s bicycle parade, said Cory Hilden, secretary of the Funfest Committee. “Back in the beginning, that’s all it was,” she said. This year, the event will re-turn to its roots and again fea-ture a bicycle parade, where children of all ages can deco-rate their bikes and be part of the procession at noon Sun-day, July 4. Other new events include a Patriots Pancake Break-fast, held from 7 a.m. to noon Sunday, July 4, at the Eagan Community Center, and re-enactments by the Old West Society each evening July 2-4. The festival kicks off Fri-day, July 2, with the carnival

and food booths that run from 4 p.m. to midnight and will feature new thrill rides aimed at pleasing the teenage crowd, Hilden said. The event has also at-tracted more vendors than usual this year, with about 50 booths featuring goods from jewelry and crafts to home improvement and wellness items. “We typically get about 25 vendors, but this year they just kept coming,” she said. “Every year we’re growing just a little bit.” A free Texas Hold ’em Tournament will be held from 6 to 10 p.m., and the Funfest concert will feature Jacob Martin from 8 p.m. to mid-night. The annual Funfest pa-rade will begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday, July 3. The route begins at Yankee Doodle and Blue Cross roads and heads east on Yankee Doodle and

This year’s spring flooding along the Minnesota River left Burnsville’s Black Dog Road under water again. Receding floodwaters left the usu-al brush and driftwood debris but also piles of silt, some 3 feet high. City crews spent two weeks and $20,000 on bituminous material patching the eastern segment of the 3.7-mile road, from Xcel Energy’s Black Dog Generating Plant to the Eagan border at Cedar Avenue.

On the western segment, from the plant to Interstate 35W, road patch-ing and removal of 3,000 to 5,000 tons of silt could cost $200,000, city officials estimate. They’ve had enough. Last month, the City Council launched plans to abandon the road and build a new access road to the Black Dog plant. The city is beginning an assessment

Time to abandon Black Dog Road?

Covered with silt and other debris and in need of patching, the western segment of Black Dog Road has remained closed since floodwaters receded in early April.

Sue Grissom was a preschool speech pathologist whose patient eye for detail served her well when she became head of special educa-tion and, later, human resources. Sandi Novak was a classroom teacher whose fascination with curriculum pulled her into lead-ership jobs, finally as assistant superintendent for instructional leadership. The two central administrators left behind a combined 65 years’ experience when they retired last month from Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District 191.

New challenges Grissom came to the district 32 years ago as an early childhood

special education speech patholo-gist – one of four people working in a new department under a new state mandate to serve preschool students in special education. Her career choice was influ-enced by having a cognitively im-paired younger sister who worked with a speech therapist. “We had quite a number of children who were cognitively well within the average range, but totally unintelligible,” said Gris-som, who enjoyed her ground-breaking role in the district as the state mandated services for ever-younger preschoolers. “You could really get them to where they were totally intelligible within about nine months. It was fun.” After 18 years teaching speech, Grissom worked for three years as special education director. “It’s always fun to do some-thing new and challenging,” she

said. “My interests were broader than speech, and they always were.” Human resources was one of those interests; Grissom made

New water regulations raise property owner concerns

Rules limit owners’ access to their own property by Laura Adelmann

THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Tom and Marlene Majeski spent years clear-ing thick brush around the Vermillion River that mean-ders through their eastern Dakota County yard. The result is a pictur-esque and manicured set-ting that they often enjoy for walks, entertainment and recreation. But the couple is con-cerned about losing their property rights due to new Vermillion River watershed rules that mandate restric-tive and permanent buffer zones around bodies of wa-ter. The rules are triggered if they follow through with their desire to split two acres off their 14-acre Vermillion Township property so their daughter and son-in-law can build a home there. Under the new water-shed rules, a lot split would mandate a 300-foot wide buffer zone (about 150 feet on each side of the river) that permanently restricts their access to their prop-erty, similar to a conserva-tion easement, but without compensation. The property owner also must pay numerous costs for following the mandates, including inspection and monitoring, erosion and sediment control, buffer strip landscaping in accor-dance with the rules, and the cost of remedying dam-age resulting from noncom-pliance with the permit or rules. With local government approval, property owners may use a 10-foot strip of land to periodically access and maintain native vegeta-tion in the buffer zone. To clear, grade or seed the buffer area, property owners would first need an approved Wetland Replace-ment Plan or an approved Stream Restoration Plan. Tom Majeski said if the buffer zone were established

on his land, it would com-prise about half of their 14-acre property. “I’d have to virtually abandon eight acres of my property if I let my daugh-ter build a house,” Majeski said. “This is significantly affecting my life.” He said all the land he’s worked so hard to maintain and use would quickly re-turn to wild, thick brush. According to Minne-sota Property Rights Watch (www.mnpropertyright-swatch.org), a Farmington organization focused on the issue, rural governments in Dakota County have recently been required to adopt the new buffer stan-dards or they would lose their permitting authority. All Dakota County townships except Eureka adopted the standards. “We’re concerned about property rights,” said Eure-ka Town Board Chair Brian Budenski. “We haven’t ap-proved it because it’s too restrictive.” So far, the township has retained its permitting au-thority. But County Commis-sioner Joe Harris, a member of the Vermillion River Wa-tershed District Joint Pow-ers Board, said the rules are needed to protect rivers,

lakes and streams. Harris credited the Majeskis for being good stewards of the land, but said if the rules are bent for some people, it will set a precedent for others to seek the same kind of exemp-tions. “I see it every day. People build in the flood plain, their home and buildings are washed down the river and we as taxpayers have to turn around and pay for it again,” Harris said. He added that federal rules and regulations on properties in the flood plain have been in place for de-cades. “Their so-called prop-erty rights were taken away a long time ago by the fed-eral and state governments,” Harris said. According to meeting minutes of a May 2009 pub-lic hearing in Eureka Town-ship, numerous residents spoke out against the rules, including Mark Parranto of Lakeville. He called the ordinance “the single largest power land grab by an unelected body that he has ever seen.” Scott County Commis-sioner Tom Wolf, also a Vermillion River Watershed District Joint Powers Board member, said in some cases the rules may be too restric-tive and they should seek a variance. “I’m supportive of (the rule), but if someone has ex-tenuating circumstances … like if it renders your land completely worthless, then we need to revisit the rule,” Wolf said. However, he added that people should be discour-aged from building in the flood plain, noting that some areas in the flood plain may appear dry dur-ing parts of the year, but at snow melt or after a signifi-cant rainfall, flooding can occur.

Tom and Marlene Majeski are opposed to Dakota County’s new 150-foot water setback rules, which would ban them from entering about half their 14-acre property, on which they spent years taming back thick brush, as shown on the right.

The Dakota Communi-cations Center Executive Committee aimed to have the 911 call center’s new di-rector in place by now, but the added time will result in a more informed decision. The committee had hoped to name a successor for Executive Director Kent Therkelsen at its June 17 meeting, but it appears that selection will be made July 7. The selection would be forwarded to the DCC Board of Directors for consideration at its July 15 meeting when it will be made public. At that meeting, the board could abide by the recommendation, select an-other candidate or restart the process.

Scheduling conflicts in setting meeting times with the finalists to conduct a leadership assessment and background checks analysis are the main reasons for the delay. Therkelsen’s last day on the job was June 30. He an-nounced his retirement last year. He said the interim direc-tor will be Lakeville resident Diane Lind – current DCC operations director and one of the three finalists. The other two are: Russell Sinkler, a Rose-mount resident who was director of Minneapolis’ emergency communications center from 1981 to 1984, and now is a senior client business executive at an Eden Prairie communica-tions firm.

John Dejung, a public safety communications di-rector in Madison, Wis., and former director of 911/311 in Minneapolis un-til May 2009. Therkelsen is confi-dent the transition time with Lind at the helm for a week and whoever is the permanent replacement will be smooth. He said he had much time to prepare a transition outline for his successor. Therkelsen said Lind has worked with him side-by-side in preparation for the DCC opening in 2007 and since that time. He has said the next di-rector would be responsible for overseeing the DCC’s move into next-generation 911, which will focus on im-proving system operations as more people use wireless phones to make emergency

calls. Therkelsen will be en-tering the business world with the newly incorporated Kent Therkelsen and Asso-ciates. His first client is the city of Minnetonka. He’s sub-contracted with Springstead Inc. to help the city plan for future public safety needs.

Opinion

Doll, Morgan work hard for our citiesTo the editor: Last week a letter was critical of state Sen. John Doll and Rep. Will Morgan for not supporting a bill that included a proposed tax in-crease on wealthy taxpayers. The letter’s writer took the position that because the two have “Democrat” as their party affiliation, there is no way they could pos-sibly vote on an issue in an unbiased manner. I for one am glad that Doll and Morgan don’t be-lieve in trying to legislate from a single side of the aisle. They understand that their responsibility is to do what is in the best interests of the people of this dis-trict, and not act on a set of talking points. If that means that a certain tax increase may not be appropriate, or that a certain expense may not be sustainable, then it is their duty to try to come to the decision that is right for the people that they repre-sent. “Democrat” or “Re-publican” should not be the determinant when making that decision. The letter’s writer also discusses the gas tax that was passed under Doll and Morgan’s term. Well, that 8-cent per gallon gas tax has hurt my pocket a lot less than the much larger property tax increases that were forced down to cities because of a certain gov-ernor’s blind adherence to a “no new taxes” dogma. (Did we mention that the governor in question is a Republican, part of the party that supposedly, as the writer so strongly em-phasized “will not raise your taxes”? How’s that for irony?) As I live in Bloomington and work in Burnsville, I read both cities’ newspapers and follow especially Doll, not only because he is my

state senator, but because both he and Morgan have worked hard for our cities and for a better Minneso-ta. They don’t deserve the negativity. I would rather have legislators vote for or against things because they make sense, not because it follows a rigid party plat-form. Doll and Morgan ap-pear to be doing that. Can the Republicans, with their “party of ‘No’ ” philosophy, say the same thing?

Eagan Art Festival attracts 6,000-plusTo the editor: On behalf of the Dakota Center for the Arts Board, I would like to thank our Eagan community for sup-porting the 16th annual Eagan Art Festival held on June 26 and 27 at Eagan Central Park. We had more than 95 juried artists exhib-iting their art for purchase and great food and enter-tainment throughout the event, serving over 6,000 people. I would like to thank our many sponsors for their support of this event, as well as the news media for their work in making our community viewers aware of the festival. Thank you to the artists who volunteered to judge the event. Congratulations to our 2010 Award Winners including five honorable mentions and Best of Show – Vanessa Greene, Pottery; Award of Excellence – Joel Cole, Wood Carving; Award of Merit – Olga Krasovska, Painting; and Best Display Award – Debb Morgan, Mixed Media. We would also like to thank those who donated food items to the Eagan Resource Center, surpass-ing their goal of collecting 150,000 pounds of food

in celebration of Eagan’s 150th birthday. I would also like to thank the many volunteers who cheerfully greeted our patrons and supported our artists and to those artists who provided wonderful demonstrations of their art and music. Thanks again and we hope to see all of you again next year at the 17th annual Eagan Art Festival with even more artists and fun-filled activities for all ages.

Economy is turning around under President ObamaTo the editor: A recent writer suggested “revisionists” are at work; government spending dur-ing the Depression didn’t work. He claims Roosevelt’s treasury secretary said un-employment of 24.9 percent in 1933 was the same eight years later. Yes, unemployment was 24.9 percent in 1933, yet fell to 14 percent in 1939. Do the math … he was wrong; his own figures show it was cut almost in half … despite the additional devastation of the Dust Bowl. Our economy is respond-ing to the stimulus. With each economic incentive the results have been posi-tive: boosted car, appliance, and housing sales. The Dow climbed from 6,500 to over 11,000 during Presi-dent Obama’s first year in office. The jobless rate is down, with job losses at their lowest levels in years. The economy is growing. Some suggest the recession ended months ago. Anyone who understands econom-ics knows that job growth always trails economic growth. Many companies

are making good returns this year. Great Depression history demonstrates that govern-ment spending was respon-sible for reducing the dam-age of the economic slump, keeping the economy mov-ing until the war spending took off. Those against big deficits should have said something when President George W. Bush added $6 trillion to the national debt, plus another $3 trillion from his father’s presidency and President Reagan. Obama inherited one of the worst economies in the last 100 years … and there are many signs that things are coming back. Stop spreading myths that stimulus and govern-ment spending aren’t help-ing. If you want to reduce deficit spending, address the military and two wars; see if you can cut 20 per-cent, or $200 billion. That would pay for our health care, while reducing federal spending. We don’t need 800 bases around the world. Af-ghanistan’s GDP is now $10 billion – we could theoreti-cally buy that entire country for less than the cost of the war. We all want a lower na-tional debt. Let’s reduce wasteful spending and raise revenue by asking those who can most afford it to help out during this eco-nomic disaster. We all ben-efit from a common effort, where everyone is involved in making things better. JANICE SLAMAEagan

Obermueller supports business community To the editor: State Rep. Mike Ober-mueller, DFL-Eagan, has toured our small business. We are fortunate to have someone with Obermuel-ler’s experience working for us in St. Paul. He always inquires as to the resources needed to grow jobs in Min-nesota. We ask Obermuel-ler for quality education, good transit, infrastructure,

roads and honesty. The price of doing good busi-ness is the cost of these re-sources. Obermueller works on solving problems by engag-ing everyone in the solu-tion. He seeks consensus and resolves issues for the best possible outcome for everyone involved. This isn’t being partisan, it’s being re-sponsible. The independent voters of Eagan who are represent-ed by Obermueller should be deeply offended by his opponent and his support-ers who don’t even bother to get the most basic fact sur-rounding this issue correct: H.F. 2781 referenced in a June 25 letter actually made it so employees who commit egregious misconduct did “not” get benefits. Another honest fact is that Oberm-ueller personally removed this provision to work with others on finding consensus language. I will support the can-didate who is honest and open. BETTY FEDDEEagan

Doll is the kind of representative we need in MinnesotaTo the editor: For the past several years our community, state and nation has been crying out for representatives who will work to end the polariza-tion and get some work done; candidates that hail from the ranks of the ev-eryday citizen, leaders who will be thoughtful and inde-pendent seeking good ideas no matter where they come from. In Burnsville we elected that person in 2006. His name is John Doll. Doll is creative, intelli-gent, and hard working. As a home improvement con-tractor, he knows the mean-ing of a hard-earned dollar. He also has a character trait missing in so many of our elected officials: common sense. A real look (not one fil-tered for political talking

points) at Doll’s voting re-cord shows it is clear that he votes for the proposals that are for the greater good of our community. He is not afraid to chal-lenge his caucus or vote in favor of a good idea offered by the other side. He is the type of state senator we have been asking to come forward for years. With four years in office, you can see the results of his work, the style of his leadership and the true family values he embraces. I encourage all Burnsville residents to reject the diatribes of some in our community who are locked into old and divisive modes of thinking and get to really know our state senator. He is very approachable. I have found him to be genuine, thoughtful and indepen-dent; the kind of person we have been saying we want to represent our district.

To all of our veteransTo the editor: A while ago, I attended the Flying Blue Angels per-formance in Eau Claire, Wis. It was awesome to watch such talented pilots. While I was there, I no-ticed a man wearing a vest that indicated he was a Vietnam veteran holding a child’s hand. I wasn’t quite sure what I was going to say when I approached him, but I knew the only thing I could say was “thank you.” As I shook his hand and looked into his eyes, I saw a tear which reflected the one in mine. Thank you, sir, for put-ting your life on the line in a war so many didn’t believe in. And when you returned from the hell you experi-enced I know you did not receive the proper respect and appreciation that you and so many other veterans deserved. I am very sorry for that. I was around dur-ing that time and lost two friends of our family in that war. It touched me deeply.

Thisweek Columnist

by Larry WernerTHISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

It might not be inten-tional, but Ed Kearney, president of the Apple Valley Chamber of Com-merce, has been bringing some controversial speak-ers to membership lunches at En-joy! restaurant. A few months back, former state Sen. Dick Day entertained the faithful with the message he’s delivering in his new posi-tion as lobbyist for a racino at Canterbury Park racetrack. Day believes a little more gambling is the answer to the state’s budget deficits. And last week at Enjoy!, Ed introduced a speaker who is bold enough to argue that moderation is what we need in these polarized times. We heard from a former Republican governor that it will probably take a combination of taxes and expense reductions to get our state out of the mess it’s

in. Former Gov. Arne Carl-son unloaded on the Legis-lature in general, on Demo-crats for their eagerness to raise taxes and – most energetically – on his own Republican Party for its

knee-jerk reluctance to deal with a budget deficit that has put Min-nesota in a financial crisis. Carlson, as some of you might recall, was elected our 37th gover-nor in 1990 and re-elected in 1994. He was known as a moderate who spoke his mind as governor and previously as state auditor and as a legislator. Over the past year or so, he has been highly critical of Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty for not facing up to the state’s deficits by doing such things as borrowing from the schools, making accounting shifts and closing his mind to any new taxes to deal with billions in defi-cits that will face the next Legisla-ture.

But his fundamental message was that the current political system is dysfunctional in that it leaves no room for finding com-mon ground. Carlson could have talked about the way he worked with Democrats to solve a state finan-cial crisis or other problems when he was governor. But he chose to recall that Democratic President John F. Kennedy sought advice from his Republican predecessor, Dwight D. Eisenhower, when he was dealing with the Cuban Mis-sile Crisis in the 1960s. What we need in Minnesota and in our nation, Carlson said, are leaders who have “a moral compass,” not political rheto-ric that “demonizes individuals” rather than seeking solutions. “We are not attracting the best and the brightest to public ser-vice,” Carlson said. “Demonize the messenger. Trivialize the is-sues.” Making it clear that Pawlenty,

who shares his political party, is among his targets, Carlson said: “Postponing the tough deci-sions is not political leadership.” He cited the cooperation be-tween Democratic President Bill Clinton and Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich as anoth-er example of the type of collabo-ration that’s needed today both nationally and in our state. These comments from the Republican former governor re-minded me of governors who led my home state of Michigan when I was growing up there. Moder-ate Republicans William Milliken and George Romney, father of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, worked with Democrats in a state, like Minnesota, domi-nated by Democrats. But as we head into another gubernatorial election, we have a campaign shaping up between Tom Emmer, an extreme right Re-publican, and one of three very liberal Democrats – Mark Day-

ton, Margaret Anderson Kelliher and Matt Entenza. And our governor, who kicked the budget issue to the next gover-nor and Legislature, has taken his no-taxes message and anti-Dem-ocratic rhetoric to the national stage as he runs for the Republi-can nomination for president. Forgive me if I felt a tinge of nostalgia while listening to our former Republican governor counsel leaders to find common ground. “We have to emphasize the courage to do right, not to be the agent of our own ambition,” Carl-son said. “History has rewarded those who have made the tough choices.”

process to bill Xcel Energy for the new road. Black Dog Road was built to provide access to the plant, which dates back to the 1950s. The city hopes to assess the company for a “good share” of the project, which could cost anywhere from $2 million to $6 million, said Bud Osmundson, Burnsville’s public works director and city engineer. “We’ve been working with them very closely on all of this,” Osmund-son said. “They’ve been a great partner. Black Dog Road is basically there

to serve the Black Dog plant.” The city is considering extending 12th Avenue in north Burnsville’s industri-al area across the railroad tracks in the river bottom to connect with the existing high-water road that Xcel uses when flooding occurs. The road is on an isthmus in Black Dog Lake. The 12th Avenue con-figuration would be better than the current configu-ration, which takes traffic through Black Dog Park in a residential area, Osmund-son said. Meanwhile, the west-ern segment of Black Dog Road has remained closed

since floodwaters receded in early April. The city, which has no immediate plans to clean up and fix the segment, has gotten a few complaint calls from peo-ple who live in Eagan and use Black Dog as a shortcut to work in Bloomington, Osmundson said. In the winter, the two-lane road is inconvenient for snowplows that must use the freeway or go through Eagan to get there, he said. “And every two or three years it goes under water and we have to clean it up and patch it, and it’s just not a real good road to start with,” Osmundson said.

Even in years without high water, the city spends at least $10,000 and hun-dreds of person hours patching the road. An added benefit of abandoning the road would be a traffic-free nature trail area, officials say. Burns-ville has landed a $1 mil-lion federal grant to build a riverfront trail along the entire stretch of road from I-35W to Cedar Avenue. The area is part of the Black Dog Preserve of the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge.

The grand marshals of this year’s parade are resi-dents Martin DesLauriers – the city’s first police chief – Don Chapdelaine, and Don Holz, who are all descen-dents of Eagan’s founding families going back to the 1860s. Volunteers are hoping to collect a record amount of food donations for lo-cal food shelves during the parade to help the city reach its goal of collecting 300,000 pounds of food by year’s end. “We’ve enjoyed some great success already with

our food drive and can’t wait to see how much food we can collect during the Funfest parade on July 3,” said Scott Swenson, chair of the 150th Anniversary Advisory Board. Donations will be col-lected before and during the parade, and food may also be dropped off at a donation site on the festival grounds July 2-4. The carnival and food booths will be open from noon to midnight on July 3, and the day’s celebration will also include a martial arts performance, the Brain Freeze Contest, children’s games, re-enactments from the Old West Society at 1:30 and 6 p.m., and a con-cert featuring Mick Sterling

from 2 to 4 p.m. A free Texas Hold ’em Tournament will be held from 6 to 10 p.m., perfor-mances by Pat Peare School of Dance will be held from 4 to 5:30 p.m., and Brat Pack Radio will perform from 8 p.m. to midnight.

THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

When it came time to name their band, Jesse Mathews and Kyle Wachter paid homage to their home-town. The Apple Valley natives named their pop-rock band Cedar Avenue after the north-south thoroughfare that runs through the city. It has more of a ring than the name Mathews gave his short-lived first band, Play-ing On A Thursday. “I had a dinky garage band that I sang in – we played only one show, and it was on a Thursday,” said Mathews, 26, a 2002 Eastview High School grad-uate who sings and plays guitar in Cedar Avenue. The Minneapolis-based band, which released its de-but full-length CD “Some-day Soon” late last year, is set to perform Friday, July 9, in Apple Valley as part of the summer-long Music in Kelley Park concert series. The Kelley Park concert

is a homecoming show of sorts for the band, which regularly performs at high-profile Twin Cities venues such as the Fine Line Mu-sic Cafe, the Varsity Theater and First Avenue. Mathews and Wachter, who plays bass, are joined in Cedar Avenue by fel-low Eastview High School alumnus Shawn Burtis, a drummer Mathews met when both were members of the Eastview drumline. Rounding out the quar-tet is Mathews’ wife, Der-rin, a California native who sings and plays keyboard in the band.

Cedar Avenue got its start shortly after Mathews enrolled at Westmont Col-lege, a Christian liberal arts college in Santa Bar-bara, Calif. Mathews and Wachter, who remained in Minnesota, began e-mailing audio tracks they’d created back and forth and building up a song repertoire. Things began falling into place for the group when Mathews moved back to Minnesota after college. With a bachelor’s degree in religious studies, he signed on as a youth pastor at a Northeast Minneapolis church, where he lives on

the second floor. The band uses an auxiliary room at the church as its rehearsal space. Cedar Avenue has logged Midwest tours as an opener for national acts such as Augustana, A Fine Frenzy,

and Graham Colton, and the 10-song CD “Some-day Soon” was recorded at Blackwatch Studios in Nor-man, Okla., and released in November 2009. More about the band is at www.cedaravenuemusic.

com. “Someday Soon” is available for purchase on the band’s website and through iTunes and Amazon.com.

Cedar Avenue is set to perform on Friday, July 9, as part of the free, summer-long Music in Kelley Park concert series hosted by the Apple Valley Arts Founda-tion. The Cedar Avenue concert runs from 6 to 9 p.m. in the park located at Fortino and 152nd streets near Enjoy! restaurant; opening bands are Blue Sky Canopy and Ferris.

Bucking both the his-toric summer housing slow-down and expectations due to the expiration of Federal tax credits for home buyers, the Twin Cities residential housing permits remained stable in June. Permits, planned units, and value showed a small increase this month over June 2009, and more per-mits were pulled in June 2010 than in six of the past 12 months. According to statistics compiled by the Keystone Report for the Builders As-sociation of the Twin Cit-ies (BATC), there were 246 permits pulled for a total of 341 units during the month of June, 2010. Year-to-date, permits are 62 percent higher, units are 53 percent higher, and value is 49 percent higher than at this time in 2009. “The Federal Stimulus home buyer tax credits, which expired for new con-tracts at the end of April, has created a degree of uncertainty in the housing market,” said Builders As-

sociation of the Twin Cities 2010 President Gary Au-lik. “Did the credits stimu-late buyers that otherwise wouldn’t have purchased? Did buyers who would have

bought later this year move their purchase ahead to take advantage of the credits? “While both of these are likely true, it remains to be seen by how much. And

with mortgage rates remain-ing at all-time lows while prices have stabilized, there are still plenty of reasons for Twin Cities families to

buy now,” Aulik said. Minneapolis led the metro in building activity for the month with 57 units permitted. Woodbury fol-

lowed with31 units, Maple Grove had 27 units permitted, followed by Blaine with 23 and Sav-age with 15.

There’s a deep tire mark in the carpet of the reception area at Syndicut for Hair salon in Burnsville. It was left by a Toyota Co-rolla that crashed into the salon June 23, its wheels still spinning as it came to a halt. But most things are return-ing to normal at the 24-year-old salon in the Wood Park Shoppes at 14600 10th Ave. S. New brick has been laid in the base of the wall, which the driver, an 83-year-old woman, busted through, later claiming her accelerator was stuck. A new front door has been installed. The salon’s owners, Brent and Michelle Halliday of Lakeville, are awaiting new windows. In their place is a sheet of plywood announcing that the

salon is open – “Walk-ins Wel-come, Drive Throughs Dis-couraged.” “People are coming in chuckling,” said Beverly Hal-liday, Brent’s mother, who works part time at the front desk. “You’ve got to look at the bright side. No one was hurt.” The mishap occurred just before noon, when only Brent Halliday and receptionist Brenda Schull were inside. Schull was sitting at the recep-tion desk when she saw the car coming, Beverly Halliday said. “It just kept coming, and she jumped up finally and ran,” Halliday said. It would have missed Schull anyway, Halliday said, though she might have been showered with flying glass. Thankfully,

the children’s play table in the reception area was unoccupied. “One of our clients brought in some little plastic hard hats for everybody to wear in case of future accidents,” Halliday said. “Everybody’s got one on their work station now.” Inside the salon, which em-ploys eight stylists and four receptionists, new carpet and a new desk will be installed, Halliday said. The building is owned by Traiser Co. The total tab for the dam-age and the driver’s insurance liability are still being worked out, Halliday said. Police have said they don’t expect to issue citations in the case. The salon reopened at noon the following day, Halliday said.

Zoo in Apple Valley and made their public debut this week. The Bactrian

camel was born May 23 and initially kept

off-exhibit to ensure he was healthy and gaining

weight. Another new arrival this summer is a

snow monkey, born on June 26.

SportsSnowboarding brothers reaching new heights

by Andy RogersTHISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The favorite method of travel for Burnsville’s Brich-ta family is on a snowboard, and it’s taken them all over the world. Brothers Peter and Paul Brichta have become two of the most accomplished snowboarders in their age group in the country. Paul, 18, made the Unit-ed States of America Snow-board Association Rookie Team last spring and recent-ly qualified for nationals in New Zealand in August. It’s the next step toward his goal of making the U.S. Snowboarding Team. “The rookie team is a pipeline for young athletes to progress through to the grand prix and X Games,” Paul said. “Hopefully I’ll be making it onto the U.S. team.” He spends much of his time in Steamboat, Colo., training and going to col-lege. He graduated from high school early with hopes of taking his snowboarding to the next level. He’s been going up and down mountains for more than a decade and he has no plans to stop anytime soon. “I really like riding with friends and doing tricks,” Paul said. “I like riding with people my own ability level.

Being able to have that ca-maraderie is great.” One of his favorite riding partners is his brother Peter, 14, who attends Apple Val-ley High School. He’s been snowboarding since he was 8 years old and following in his brother’s grooves ever since. In early April, he fin-ished seventh in slopestyle and eighth in the halfpipe in the 14-15 age group at the

USASA Nationals in Cop-per Mountain, Colo. “It wasn’t my best finish but it gets harder in the up-per age groups,” Peter said. “I was one of the younger guys out there this year.” He looks up to his broth-er Paul because he takes it really seriously. “He helps me with some tricks,” Peter said. “I see

what I need to do to be ac-complished like he is.” “We really relate to the same things,” Paul said. “He is really good. I help teach him; I like watching him progress.” They both have dreams of snowboarding at the X Games and making the U.S. national team. “My goal is to make

the Olympic team in four years,” Paul said. They both got their start with the G-Team at Hyland Ski & Snowboard Area in Bloomington. It’s not a mountain like you find in Colorado with bigger jumps and longer runs, but they can still train. The tow ropes make for a quick turn-around to try new things. This summer, Paul and

Peter will train at Mount Hood, Ore., but otherwise they will spend their time wakeboarding, which is as close to snowboarding as anything else. “I hope to play a lot of golf with my dad and broth-er and some basketball with my friends,” Paul said.

As years pass, competitive spirit never subsidesby Andy RogersTHISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

At the end of every varsi-ty athletic season, the same thought crosses my mind: For many of these seniors, this could very well be the peak in their team-sport-playing careers. Sure, nearly everyone will continue participating in their sports to some degree. They will shoot hoops at the local gym and lace up their skates for a spin at a nearby rink. Some will enter the college ranks for their sport. A few may one day coach or play professionally. But in the end, competi-tively speaking, this is the highest level most will at-tain. While their lives in athlet-ics will likely continue, that competitive edge is a hard thing to leave behind. I’ve

been there. For those who still need to feed that desire, thank-fully, this isn’t a new phe-nomenon. There are many long-established avenues to com-pete in city leagues, club sports, and non-varsity col-lege sports. Somewhere along the way I chose dodgeball to fuel my competitive fire. I retreated from the ever-popular Minnesota adult pastime of softball for a less serious endeavor where you don’t have to buy things if you strike out. Every Thursday night in Lakeville during the fall and winter for the past five

years, I’ve played dodgeball with six of my good friends in a league organized through the Lakeville Parks and Recreation Depart-ment. Although there’s no one else watching and no news-papers are there to cover the action, it fulfills that test of strength that can be lacking as an adult. Like any sport, dodge-ball is aggressive, but the only person who can really get you down is yourself. Although it’s primarily an activity for grade school playgrounds, plenty of 20-, 30- and 40-year-old adults play every week. Appropriately, the venue that hosts our league is a middle school. The game pits two teams of six people each using only six dodgeballs. Just

in case you forgot the rule, once you are hit, you go the sidelines. If someone on your team catches a ball, you can re-enter. Although grade school had its moments, no one is trying to recapture the feel-ing of that playground bul-ly. The people just want to play a game, break a sweat and talk about it afterward. As you would imagine in a sport where the object is to hit someone with a ball, players tend to use their outside voices to playfully tease each other during the flurry of action. Despite its childish roots, there is more strategy to dodgeball than one would imagine. Successful squads implement such tactics as “ball management” and they know that good catch-ing skills can turn a game in

their favor. Seasoned play-ers also know that the closer you are to your target, the less time a foe has to dodge. While newer teams tend to argue without knowing the rules, veteran players operate on the honor sys-tem and willingly exit the game at the slightest graze of the ball. Regardless of how ag-gressive people may seem, it’s never personal. If any-thing, these players are merely throwing the ball at the stress they have accumu-lated throughout the week. Everyone shakes hands at the end. Although the league is co-ed, the percentage of fe-males is in the single digits. The ones who compete earn plenty of respect. A few members of my team were on baseball or

swimming squads in col-lege. A few other primarily play video games. Injuries throughout the season in-clude broken fingers and worn out shoulders. Like most people, the only reason I continue to play is to be with my friends. I never remember the scores 10 minutes after the game. The memory of league championships fade very fast. While not every commu-nity recreation department offers dodgeball, there is likely a sport on their slate to fit your needs. No matter what you play, the camaraderie, fun and exercise will keep you young. Andy Rogers is at [email protected].

PRESSBOX

the move to executive di-rector of HR 11 years ago. Both special education and HR have their own bodies of law that require careful minding. “In many respects, it’s much the same skill set,” Grissom said of the two jobs. “It’s important to know the technicalities of the law. But what’s even more important is to know the basis for the law, the purpose of the law, the spirit of the law, to be able to apply it. And then the details come in. But de-tails alone would not serve anyone well.” There have been “highs and lows” in the district’s employee relations, said Grissom, who points to the last six to eight years as a time of growing collabora-tion. District officials and teachers were discussing performance-incentive pay well before the state passed its Q Comp program in 2005, Grissom said. District 191 was among the first 25 districts to join Q Comp, which provides more than $2 million in funding annually. “Embedded” teacher de-velopment and professional learning communities – con-claves of teachers exchang-ing ideas on school time – embodied the new spirit, Grissom said. “We knew that teacher professionalism and finding ways to do that was what it was all about,” she said.

“Professional learning com-munities were really promis-ing, so that’s where we start-ed.” Finally, with the help of a new insurance broker and painstaking negotia-tion with employee groups, Grissom led efforts to adopt a new employee health in-surance plan. Combining a high deductible and other new features, the plan will actually save the district $1.8 million next year after years of skyrocketing premiums. “I think everybody hopes to leave their position and the organization in good shape,” Grissom said. “So hopefully we will realize the savings over time and it’s go-ing to work the way we think it will, but only time will tell.” Grissom is succeeded by Tania Chance, who was hu-man resources coordinator and equity director in the Spring Lake Park School District.

Making information‘come to life’ A New Prague native, Novak was thrilled to find a teaching job in the metro area 33 years ago. She was hired at District 191’s Vista View Elementary, where she taught several grades and was a science specialist. She left briefly in 1992 for an interim principal’s job in Owatonna but returned to the district in 1994, serving as principal of Sioux Trail Elementary.

“After teaching some of the grade levels, I was really intrigued by curriculum,” Novak said. “I got an idea that I would like to enhance those skills, and in order to do that I had to be thinking about being a principal as well, because that was kind of the route that it went here in this district. I found out that that was really delight-ful. I enjoyed my principal time.” Novak became district curriculum director in 2000, served briefly as interim principal of Metcalf Junior High, and was appointed assistant superintendent in 2004. She succeeded the well-liked Gerry Ackermann. “I love him dearly,” No-vak said, praising her for-mer boss’s personal skills. “My strengths are in teach-ing and learning, knowing deeply about instructional practices and research about things that work in schools. And curriculum and instruc-tion. I didn’t have to follow in the same footsteps that he did, and I was given the op-portunity to go in a different direction.” The district has become more “masterful” at review-ing and adding new curricu-lum, she said. “The important part of putting that in the hands of teachers is the magical transformation of having information come to life and make meaning,” Novak said. “When that happens and you see that done ef-

fectively, it’s a great feeling for the educators and also for the students. They have a special twinkle in their eye that grabs you if you are an educator and never lets you go.” Student achievement at the junior high level needs special attention, Novak said. Based on MCA II test results, the District 191 ju-nior high student body is a little below the state average in math as well as language arts, though the latter is more often caused by scores of a certain grade level or scores that may be a tempo-rary anomaly, Novak said. “This is not unique to our school district,” she said, adding that junior high students nationwide tend to “take a dip” in achievement after the elementary grades. “What we’re concerned about is this dip is con-tinuing to decline over the last two or three years” in District 191, Novak said. “We need to get our hands around that and come up with some strategies to do a better job. We can do better. It’s just a matter of thinking about our programs, looking at where our limitations are, and creating a plan that ev-erybody can work on.” Novak praised the federal No Child Left Behind law for the focus it has brought to student achievement. “But the difficulties are in thinking about English as a second language students and special ed students,” whose group shortcomings

have consequences for an entire school, Novak said. Three district elementary schools – Sky Oaks, Edward Neill and Vista View – have reached “stage two” sanc-tions for consecutive years of not making “adequate yearly progress.” But Novak said parents have no reason to fear those schools. “If they walked into those schools, there are so many wonderful things

that are going on for indi-vidual students, for the stu-dent body,” she said. “Kids are happy, they’re excited. There’s learning going on all over the place.” Novak is succeeded by Chris Lindholm, former principal and assistant prin-cipal of Shakopee Junior High.

dren who aren’t hungry learn better, act better, and feel better.” New to District 191, the program began June 16 and runs through Aug. 27 (no meals on July 5). Sky Oaks and Hidden Valley became eligible as meal sites this year because the number of children in those attendance areas who qualify for free or subsi-dized school meals now ex-

ceeds 50 percent, said Julie Kronabetter, assistant food service director. The district is estimating it will receive federal reim-bursement of $50,000 to $60,000 to cover program costs, Kronabetter said. “Minneapolis and St. Paul have done these pro-grams for years,” she said. At each school, a cold breakfast including cereal is served from 8:30 to 9 a.m., and hot lunch is served from noon to 12:30 p.m.

Those times could be more flexible if participation grows, Kronabetter said. So far, most of the recip-ients have been children in the district’s Project KIDS child-care programs. About 60 to 100 children in Proj-ect KIDS are fed daily at each site, Kronabetter said. Parents no longer pay meal costs that had been around $3 a day, she said. The number of children served who are not in Proj-ect KIDS has swung be-

tween about 20 to 50 a day at each site, Kronabetter said. The district hopes to feed many more. “I’d like to hit at least 150 to 200 at each lunch, even higher than that,” Kronabetter said, noting that most of non-Project KIDS children come for lunch. “The higher the num-bers, it’s always easier to feed more children,” she said. “If you’ve got to have

a person there to cook 20 (meals), it’s better if they can just cook 200 while they’re there.” Adults who bring their children can purchase their own meals for $3.40. “We understand there’s a lot of working parents out there,” Kronabetter said. The opening of summer school and the Gifted and Talented Institute at Eagle Ridge Junior High, next to Hidden Valley, may boost participation, she said.

More information and menus can be found in the “Food Service” section of the district website, www.isd191.org. Sky Oaks is at 100 E. 134th St. Hidden Valley is at 13875 Glendale Road.
