Lakeville lost one of its most prominent lifelong community members and business leaders April 27.

J o h n Enggren, 84, died at home from John pneumonia Enggren he suffered recently after he injured his back about six weeks ago in a fall, according to his son Joel Enggren.

A celebration of his life was held at the Chart House restaurant in Lakeville on Thursday, May 9.

For generations, the Enggren family operated a grocery store in downtown Lakeville, also opening a clothing and dry goods store that later split into clothing shops for men and women.

Later, John Enggren owned four Tom Thumb convenience stores in and around Lakeville, said Joel Enggren.

The family also opened clothing stores in Prior Lake, according to John Enggren’s niece Jody Braun.

Opinion Stadium financing a conundrum, but project is worth it When the Minnesota Sports Facility Authority unveils the design for the new Minnesota Vikings stadium on May 13 at the Guthrie Theatre, the public will get a glimpse of the grand edifice that is planned to be built over the next three years.

When ground is broken on the Metrodome site in Minneapolis this fall, the public will know for certain that the $975 million stadium will be built.

What is less certain, however, is the funding piece for the stadium that was approved by the Legislature in 2012. For stadium fans, it will take patience to wait until July 2016 when the facility is slated for completion. It will take an equal amount of patience on the part of the public and legislators to feel comfortable that funding is available.

Much discussion has emerged over the lack of tax dollars flowing to the state from electronic pulltabs, one of the key pieces in funding the stadium. The second vital funding source from charitable gambling venues is electronic bingo. E-bingo is just now coming on line.

There is good reason for funding fears.

E-pulltabs have not generated the funding once predicted by the Minnesota Charitable Gambling Board, and the board admits it. The state did not anticipate the snail’s process of establishing charitable sites for sales of electronic pulltabs. Electronic bingo almost became a forgotten partner in the funding piece.

For various reasons, many smaller charitable gambling sites have said no to electronic pulltabs. Some have identified startup costs and fees, in addition to state taxes, as major roadblocks. Other say e-pulltabs wipe away the social fun a group of friends may have sifting through a stack of paper pulltabs. It may not be such with e-bingo.

ECM Editorial The state was remiss in not identifying the electronic pulltab concerns early on. Such action may have helped lawmakers a year ago as the legislation was crafted. For stadium opponents, the door is now open for a barrage of criticism, including calls by lawmakers to redo the agreement with the Vikings.

Fool’s errands of the like serve no good purpose. Those taking shots at the Vikings seem to ignore that the NFL club will pay an estimated $15 million per year to the sports facility authority, including $8.5 million in rent alone. Other user groups will contribute $2 million throughout the year.

State leaders from Gov. Mark Dayton on down have long preached patience as the funding mechanism for the stadium unfolds. We would agree that patience is needed, but faced with many unknowns it is worrisome to just assume the tax dollars from charitable gambling will somehow magically appear in the future.

But we give state leaders the benefit of the doubt that patience is needed through the balance of this year. As stated in interviews with this editorial board, officials of the gambling board and the sports authority remain confident that the funding picture will see major improvements. The number of active charitable gambling sites offering electronic pulltabs is growing, and more game manufacturers and distributors are being approved by the state.

The same holds true for electronic bingo. The impact of e-bingo linked to hundreds of sites could be a game changer.

And patience must be the rule based on the unknowns. It is still uncertain the extent of the first bond sale slated for late summer or early fall. The state continues to crunch numbers to determine if all or part of the financing bond is issued this year. That decision will determine the actual debt service and the amount the state will need to repay next year. Early state estimates said debt service payment could be as high as $30 million a year.

Make no mistake about this. The bonds are backed by the state’s general fund, and any shortage in stadium debt service must come off the top. By law, it will be the Legislature that must each year appropriate dollars from the general fund to address any debt service shortage. Failing to do so would result in the state defaulting on its obligation.

The legislation approved last year includes backup funding sources. A Minnesota State Lottery game earmarked for the stadium is projected to provide $3 million a year for bond support. Once the stadium is open, a tax on luxury suites would bring in another $2 million a year. A proposal removed from last year’s bill that called for a sales tax on sports memorabilia could have produced as much as $19 million a year depending on the extent of the tax.

The memorabilia tax is again being considered this session and should be passed if lawmakers want to hedge their bet. It amounts to a user fee that is paid by those closely associated with professional and Division I collegiate athletics.

Another factor that has received little attention is that state charitable proceeds are growing by 6-7 percent this year. The electronic games are certainly a factor here while paper pulltabs continue to sell well.

While tax income from electronic pulltabs

is now projected to pull in an estimated $1.5 million this year, the total tax contribution from all forms of charitable gaming could well top $7 million. And with the egames likely to grow, this estimate would seem conservative.

State officials and lawmakers must remain vigilant in monitoring this process over the remaining months of 2013. By year’s end, there should be a clear picture of the funding levels that can be expected from charitable gambling.

If red flags continue to fly, more serious action will be needed from legislators.

If serious funding holes are evident, racino backers are ready to plug that hole with tax revenues generated by slot machines at Running Aces Harness Park in the north metro.

It is not surprising that the funding picture for the stadium has become a hotbutton issue. It was controversial a year ago and will remain so. With the general fund potentially at risk for a financial hit in 2014, now is no time for state officials to relax as revenue streams for the stadium are rolled out. They need to make sure the projections work.

What should not be forgotten are the many benefits from three years of a huge construction project that will produce 7,500 jobs and pump huge amounts of money into the economy. The end result will be a multipurpose stadium, with all the bells and whistles, that will serve Minnesota well every month of the year and not just in the fall when the Vikings call it home.

Balancing work and family: It’s about time

by John Kline SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

More and more Minnesotans are telling me, “It’s about time.”

A South St. Paul mom and dad are having a difficult time balancing work and family. They feel time spent with their children – something we all dearly covet and our kids direly need – is harder to come by. A member of the Minnesota National Guard deployed overseas can’t stop worrying about a spouse juggling work and parenting responsibilities halfway across the world. A Shakopee college student struggles to work full time while pursuing an undergraduate degree. An Eagan couple joins more than 50 million workers who spend time each week caring for an aging relative while meeting the demands of a job.

For many Minnesotans, supporting a family is about more than providing an income. It’s about spending time with loved ones, cherishing good moments and caring for each other during difficult times.

For nearly 30 years, public-sector workers have been able to choose and accrue paid time off or “comp time” instead of cash wages for working overtime hours. As a result, state and local employees have more opportunities to spend time with their families and attend to their needs.

Unfortunately, the Fair Labor Standards Act denies many private-sector workers this fundamental choice. The

Guest Columnist

John Kline 75-year-old law assumes everyone would choose more money in the bank over time with family.

No doubt some workers would seize an opportunity to earn a few extra dollars, perhaps to cover an unexpected home repair or purchase a student’s school supplies. But others may welcome the chance for additional paid time off to see a child hit a home run, visit with an elderly parent or be with a loved one about to deploy overseas.

Although this compensatory time system has been available in the public sector since 1985, private-sector employers can be sued or fined by the federal government for extending the same benefit. That’s not fair to millions of hardworking Americans.

A West St. Paul dad shouldn’t miss his daughter’s soccer game because of outdated federal policy. An Apple Valley mom shouldn’t miss her son’s little league ball game because of a law written during the Great Depression. A Red Wing family shouldn’t have to confront unnecessary barriers in order to care for their grandmother. When it comes to overtime compensation, workers should decide what’s

best for their families.

Legislation moving through Congress, known as the Working Families Flexibility Act of 2013, will help bring an antiquated law into the 21st century. The legislation would allow private-sector employers to offer employees working overtime hours a choice between comp time and cash wages – helping to level the playing field with their counterparts in the public sector.

Some mistakenly think this effort will lead to more intrusion by the federal government. I appreciate the perspective of Americans who critically view lawmakers through that lens, and I share their skepticism. I also believe hardworking Americans, not the government, are what make our country great. This common-sense legislation will reduce the role of the federal government in the nation’s workplaces, not increase it.

Under the proposal, the use of comp time would be completely voluntary for both workers and their employers. If a worker decides some additional income is what’s most important, then that’s what he or she will receive. If an employer believes administering comp time would interfere with his or her business, then that is a decision Washington will not second-guess.

The bill simply removes an unnecessary barrier that prevents employers and workers from making these choices for themselves.

Make no mistake: I will continue to advocate for a more efficient and effective government. The Working Families Flex-

ibility Act is an important part of that effort. As chairman of the House Education and the Workforce Committee, I am proud to help move this bill to the floor of the House of Representatives.

In the coming days, the people’s elected representative will have a choice of their own to make: Support less government and greater freedom for workers by voting “yes,” or defend the outdated status quo by voting “no” on this sensible proposal.

Minnesotans sacrifice a great deal to provide for their families. As a father of two and grandfather of four, I know well the challenges that come with juggling home and work. I understand the difficult choices hardworking American families make every day.

We can make life a little bit easier by removing barriers that deny workers the choice and flexibility they need to thrive at home and work. I look forward to leading the charge in Congress for this legislation on behalf of the Minnesotans I represent and all Americans.

Washington must come together on this worthwhile effort to eliminate this federal barrier in our workplaces and help provide more freedom for our workers. As I tell my colleagues in Washington: It’s about time.

Letters Our president needs your help To the editor: Have you heard politicians decry government “waste, fraud and abuse” when running for office?

Yes, unless you are from Mars.

Did President Obama participate in the condemnation? He did.

Did the Republican House offer President Obama discretionary authority over sequester cuts?

They did.

Did President Obama

threaten to veto that bill?

He did.

So, why I ask you, did President Obama choose to close the White House to tours and choose to furlough Air Traffic Controllers rather than accept discretionary authority to attack “waste, fraud and abuse?”

Maybe he needs help in identifying the difference between “waste, fraud and abuse” and essential services.

My guess is that everyone reading this can come up with several examples of

government “waste, fraud and abuse.”

How ’bout everyone email him a suggestion?

worse is that he originally voted against the tax increase but then switched his vote after DFL party bosses made him vote for the tax increase.

Doesn’t Clausen understand that this bill isn’t a tax increase on the wealthy?

This bill includes a huge income tax increase on the middle class and taxes all Minnesotans by expanding the sales tax to clothing, over-the-counter drugs, haircuts, oil changes and many other services.

During the last election, the voters wanted less partisan games at the State Capitol and I’m disappointed to see Clausen vote with the DFL party bosses instead of the hardworking taxpayers of Senate District 57, Apple Valley and Rosemount.

Clausen right to oppose sprinkler mandate

To the editor: When the economy collapsed in 2008, the housing industry took a hard hit. New home construction came to a standstill. Steady work and reliable income became an issue for those who build new homes.

The dream of home ownership was suddenly a far out reach for many Minnesota families.

In the last year, the industry is showing signs of a recovery and many families can begin to dream of the ideal home again. For builders like me, this recovery brings more work and stability for my staff and their PAT HALL families.

Apple Valley In order to keep new Former Senate District 57 homes affordable and candidate continue the economic

recovery, Builders Association of the Twin Cities and Builders Association of Minnesota members continue to fight to protect consumers against needless regulations.

These two organizations have joined Minnesota’s Realtors and others in the housing industry to strongly oppose a new state regulation being discussed – a requirement that an indoor home sprinkler system must be included in every new 4,500-square-foot and above (including the unfinished lower level) home built.

This mandate would come at an estimated cost of $9,000 for a fourbedroom, three bathroom home, and $15,000 or higher for homes with private wells. Annual maintenance and inspections, accidents and malfunctions add even more See LETTERS, 5A

Ethanol ring a bell?

How about the cover-ups in regards to no global warming in 10-15 years?

Now, one hears the term “global weirding.” I’ve even heard global warming is causing global cooling. Mark Twain said it best over 100 years ago, “They say you can’t believe everything you hear, well I’m telling you, you can’t believe anything you read.” Rising sea levels?

You mean the 2 millimeters/year in the past 40 years (3 inches), yet none in the past two years?

Refresh this scientist/ engineer on how many variables are needed to make that accurate of a measurement? I know, science is settled right?

My professor emeritus at the University of Minnesota told me, “When you hear the words science is settled, be very aware.”

He stated only four laws were settled. Oddly, most of the global warming rhetoric disregards them.

It’s man’s laws that will “settle” them. Good luck with all that. A recent quip by a Russian scientist gives fitting closure.

Buy a good fur coat, and a good set of boots, you will need both. Me? Why tonight I’m building a red-hot bonfire and dedicating and toasting all those global warmingweirding jihadists with my favorite throat cooler.

Bud wiser!

crats pushed their “taxthe-rich” theme. They claimed repeatedly that the “rich” do not pay “their fair share” of taxes, and that Democrats would see to it that they do so. The November 2012 election was very good to Democrats. They took control of both the House and the Senate. In January, the Democrats got their opportunity to stick it to the rich.

But it seems Democrats forgot about the promise to tax only the “top 2 percent.”

On April 29, the Senate passed its tax bill with $1.8 billion in higher taxes. They have proposed to expand the sales tax to clothing, over-thecounter medications and auto repairs, among other things. They will place a higher tax burden on public utilities so energy costs will go up. They added a 13 percent tax to sports memorabilia. Parents will pay that tax if their son or daughter plays on a rec team that uses licensed jerseys or caps.

The highest income tax rate in Minnesota went

JON KUZNIA Lakeville

The Democrats’ bait and switch To the editor: Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mark Dayton campaigned in 2010 on a “tax-the-rich” mantra that was picked up by Democratic legislative candidates. Dayton won in November, but Republicans won the majority in both legislative bodies.

up to 9.4 percent from its current 7.85 percent.

So at least we stuck the rich there, right? Wrong!

The new 9.4 percent rate applies to individuals starting at just over $79,000 and married joint filers starting just over $140,000. Don’t misunderstand me, $140,000 is a very good income.

But I really don’t know that a family of four or five could be considered “rich” at that income level.

Under the current tax plan literally every single Minnesotan will pay more in taxes. And what are we going to get for it? More of the same. There is not one big item of reform in this bill, or in any budget bill. This is the same old song Democrats have been singing since I was a kid. The solution to every problem: just throw more money at it. That has not worked in the past and it will not work now.

House OKs increase of minimum wage

House passes anti-bullying bill after legislators recall personal experiences

by T.W. Budig SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A binding thread in the schoolbullying legislation debate is painful memories.

The Democratic-led House passed on Monday, May 6, the socalled “Safe and Supportive Minnesota Schools Act,” legislation that uses recommendations from a recent governor’s school-bullying task force.

A companion bill – one with a two-year $39 million statewide price tag – is advancing in the Democratic-led Senate.

Although Republicans and Democrats differ on the bullying bills, debate has been filled with personal reminiscences of being bullied.

“I got shoved into (school) lockers,” Rep. Joe McDonald, R-Delano, said of being physically short.

Rep. Peggy Scott, R-Andover, who, like McDonald, has grave concerns about the legislation, also recalled being a target.

“I got called ‘Piggy’ an awful lot,” she said.

Rep. Pam Myhra, R-Burnsville, remembered her fourth-grade teacher holding up her poor test score, inviting the class to ridicule her.

“She encouraged the bullying,” Myhra said.

Powerful testimony was heard in committee.

“My senior year I became a social outcast,” said Kyrstin Schuette of Anoka, who told a Senate committee of having a sports drink thrown at her, being called a sinner, dropping out of Anoka High School, attempting suicide, all related to her sexuality.

The legislation takes a broad approach.

It creates a School Climate Council to improve school climate and safety, and a School Climate Center at the Department of Education to serve as a point of contact for schools and parents, evaluate data and provide resources.

Terms like “bullying” and “cyberbullying” are defined in the legislation – Senate and House bills

slightly differ.

Bullying, as defined in the bill, can involve intimidating or harassing actions directed at students based on actual or perceived race, ethnicity, color, creed, religion, national origins – some 19 categories are specified.

Under Senate language, school districts are required to conduct annual reviews and establish best practices.

Minimum school district antibullying policy requirements are spelled out.

For instance, primary contact persons must be designated. Procedures to investigate reports of bullying within three school days must be in place.

Policies must prohibit reprisals, allow for anonymous reporting and offer ongoing professional development.

The legislation calls for the creation of a state model anti-bullying policy. School districts that do not develop local policies must adopt the state policy.

House Republicans were uncomfortable.

“I can’t vote for your bill. And that troubles me deeply,” Rep. Jenifer Loon, R-Eden Prairie, said.

Scott asked House bill author Rep. Jim Davnie, DFL-Minneapolis, whether a student saying that homosexuality was a sin constituted bullying.

Davnie, while saying factors like time and place weigh into determining bullying, said free speech is protected by his legislation.

Scott was unconvinced, describing the bill as the use of state power to spread ideology.

“It’s a huge overreach,” she said.

McDonald, saying bullying is a serious issue, also said he dealt with it.

Rep. Ron Kresha, R-Little Falls, said the legislation veers off course and sets school districts up for failure.

“I’m not going back to my district and say, ‘I don’t trust you,’ ” he said of honoring local control.

In an amendment, Kresha attempted to make the anti-bullying legislation more of a guide than di-

rective, but failed.

House Republicans attempted a number of times to amend the legislation, offering one amendment allowing school boards using the Minnesota School Boards Association’s model policy on bullying and acceptable Internet use as satisfying the requirements in the bill.

“I don’t think it’s appropriate to outsource eduction policy to one group,” Davnie said.

The amendment failed. The House passed the legislation 72-57.

Senate Republicans voiced concerns in the Senate Education Committee on Tuesday, May 7.

Sen. Branden Pedersen, R-Andover, called the anti-bullying bill a massive, unfunded mandate.

Sen. John Hoffman, DFLChamplin, thanked Senate bill author Sen. Scott Dibble, DFL-Minneapolis.

“This bill is long overdue,” Hoffman said.

A Minnesota Association of School Administrators official indicated the association’s support for the bill.

Anoka-Hennepin School District Superintendent Dennis Carlson said the legislation could be seen as an unfunded mandate.

But he could think of other unfunded mandates, such as with special education, that school districts must deal with.

“People (school districts) need to find the funding,” Carlson said.

Children must feel safe at school, he said.

Dibble, like Davnie, views the legislation as mirroring the recommendations of the task force.

“Governor (Mark) Dayton pulled together a task force on the prevention of school bullying and this bill is really written to the recommendation,” he said.

Right now, Minnesota has the weakest anti-bullying law in the nation – a mere 37 words, he said.

The Senate Education Committee approved the legislation, advancing the bill to the Senate Finance Committee.

One offered amendment would have allowed restaurants to pay servers $7.25 per hour if the wage and tips over the pay period averaged out to at least $12 per hour.

Rep. Pat Garofalo, RFarmington, described the minimum wage legislation as an incentive for employers to replace workers. Those selling tablets to restaurateurs for customers to order with, rather than rely on servers, will use the increased minimum wage as a marketing tool, he said.

Winkler views the bill as positive.

“This will raise wages for over 350,000 Minnesotans and boost our state economy,” he said.

Winkler’s bill raises the minimum wage for large employers to $8 an hour Aug. 1, $9 an hour the year after, and $9.50 per hour on Aug. 1, 2015. Under the bill, a large employer would be defined as making $500,000 or more a year. For smaller employers, on the same time line, wages would increase to $7 per hour, $8 per hour, and then $8.50 an hour, under the bill.

The state minimum wage last increased in 2005.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2012 about 3.9 percent of Minnesota workers worked at or below the federal minimum wage.

Mike Hickey, of the National Federation of Independent BusinessMinnesota, said increasing the state minimum wage would hurt the hiring of teenagers and people entering the workforce. Employers will balk at hiring an untried worker at $9.50 an hour, he explained.

The federation also found the wage escalator provision in the bill objectionable.

The Democratic-led Senate has yet to debate minimum wage on the floor.

Gov. Mark Dayton is supportive of increasing the minimum wage.

The House of Representatives voted on Friday, May 3, to increase the state minimum wage to $9.50 per hour over three years.

The legislation, authored by Rep. Ryan Winkler, DFL-Golden Valley, includes an inflation adjustment provision.

“We are talking about a real benefit for workers who struggle,” Winkler said.

Not everyone viewed the legislation as beneficial.

House Deputy Minority Leader Jenifer Loon, R-Eden Prairie, to pointed to Wisconsin, Iowa and North Dakota, competitor states that have minimum wages mirroring the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour.

“Good intentions do not come without consequences,” Loon said.

Winkler’s bill passed the House on 68-62 vote.

Debate revealed the concerns of agriculture.

Rep. Jeanne Poppe, DFLAustin, amended the bill to exclude agricultural businesses from paying overtime to laborers working up to 48 hours a week.

Some pro-labor Democrats, such as Reps. Tom Anzelc, DFL-Balsam Township, and Tim Mahoney, DFL-St. Paul, opposed the amendment.

“Forty hours is enough,” Anzelc said.

Mahoney spoke of creating second-class citizens — a depiction one Greater Minnesota Rep. Debra Kiel, R-Crookston, a farmer, found offensive.

“We can’t function without them,” Kiel said of agricultural workers.

Farmers prize their workers and pay them well, she said.

The Poppe amendment passed on a 99-30 vote.

Rep. Jim Davnie, DFLMinneapolis, amended the bill to prevent employers from extracting money from tips paid by customers through debit, charge or credit cards.

“That’s what a tip is, Email T.W. Budig at a little something extra,” tim.budig@ecm-inc.com.

Davnie said.

Terror beset an Apple Valley couple late one night last month when an unidentified flying object appeared outside their bedroom window.

According to testimony provided by the wife, light from the silent, low-flying object began shining into the bedroom just after 1 a.m. Saturday, April 27.

“I was almost asleep when I noticed a bright light shining on me through my closed eyes,” the wife reported on the witness database of the Mutual UFO Network, a Denver-based nonprofit which seeks to scientifically resolve the enigma of UFOs. “I opened my eyes, woke my husband and we watched a silent object that didn’t seem very far away move south across the sky.

“The object seemed to be at the same level as us. It kept its beam of light facing our bedroom window for about 10 seconds … It just kept moving south until it was out of our view.”

The wife reported she did not get out

of bed to watch the object’s departure because she was “paralyzed with fear.”

“My husband walked around the house a little just to check to make sure the doors were locked,” she stated.

The Mutual UFO Network, or MUFON, compiles reports of such incidents and often conducts follow-up investigations with the witnesses, whose identities are not publicly released.

The Apple Valley Police Department received no reports of anomalous aerial phenomena in the early hours of April 27, police Capt. Michael Marben said.

Minnesota had four reported UFO sightings in April, according to coverage of the recent Apple Valley incident at the news and entertainment website Examiner.com.

“Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or manmade,” the Examiner. com report notes.

Farmington woman charged with felony theft of $95,000 SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Dakota County Attorney’s Office charged Leah Marie Bremner of Farmington with felony theft by swindle for $95,000 at the Lakeville bank where she worked.

“This is a significant economic crime and is the 19th theft over $50,000 in the last five years in Dakota County,” County Attorney Jim Backstrom said in a press release.

Bremner, 31, worked at the bank and allegedly took the money in incremental amounts between May and October 2010.

The criminal complaint details the following: On Oct. 4, 2010, Lakeville police responded to a call of internal bank theft.

Bremner’s supervisor confronted her about discrepancies in her teller and vault entries. She admitted that she stole money from the bank because her husband recently lost his job and the couple had financial problems.

When asked how much, Bremner allegedly wrote on a piece of paper “86,000.” The bank official told police Bremner was “distraught, hysterical, crying and rocking back and forth in her chair during the contact.”

A Rosemount man faces one felony charge for burglary and a gross misdemeanor charge for stalking his ex-girlfriend in Lakeville.

Officers responded to a 2:45 a.m. call April 30 from the victim who heard noises in her backyard around midnight and heard knocking on her basement bedroom window. The victim finally looked out to see Thomas James Rourke, 32, who then jumped into the window well, according to a criminal complaint.

Rourke allegedly asked to come in and speak with her.

Police searched the perimeter of the residence and found Rourke in the garage in the passenger seat of the victim’s

car. Police observed he was highly intoxicated and saw several empty beer cans on the garage floor that the victim said were not hers.

A December 2012 no-contact order was given to Rourke following a Dec. 10, 2012, incident when Rourke held the victim hostage and threatened to kill himself. A police SWAT team responded to this incident.

Felony third-degree burglary holds a sentence of up to five years and $10,000.

Gross misdemeanor stalking can result in as much as a year and $1,000 fine.

The two other charges are misdemeanors for tampering with a motor vehicle and violating an order for protection. Both carry a maximum penalty of 90 days and $1,000.

Seized meth worth $400,000 SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Andy turns scrap metal into art and loves tinkering with cars (ask him about his blue ‘94 Geo that now gets 58 mpg!).

A 35-year-old Burnsville resident and barbershop owner faces two first-degree drug charges and two weapons charges after a police search of his home allegedly turned up 12 pounds of methamphetamine.

The street value of the seized drugs exceeds $400,000, Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom said in a news release.

Albert Morris Johnson, 62 Riverwoods Lane, was charged May 3 with two first-degree controlledsubstance crimes, one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm and one count of possessing a firearm with an altered or removed serial number.

“This case involved a large quantity of methamphetamine,” Backstrom said. “We are pleased that law enforcement has been able to seize this significant quantity of an extremely dangerous illegal

drug and keep it from being sold on the street.”

Investigation led Dakota County Drug Task Force officers to obtain a search warrant for Johnson’s home and barbershop, according to the criminal complaint.

Officers began the search at about 1:10 a.m., entering the home after repeated knocks and announcements yielded no answer. Albert Johnson and Helen Johnson and two children, ages 1 and 17, were also inside, the complaint said. The adults were handcuffed.

Officers seized 20 items, including 24 bags of a clear crystal substance that tested positive for methamphetamine. They seized three handguns — one loaded and one with a destroyed serial number — a scale, $16,540 in cash, a money counter, and an electronic benefit transfer card.

Entering with a key Johnson provided, officers searched the barbershop — Q&A Barbershop at 2929 Cliff Road E. — at

2:50 a.m. Three items were seized, including a “suspected drug note,” the complaint said.

The first-degree drug charges allege sale and possession, both occurring when Johnson or an accomplice used or possessed a firearm.

Johnson was convicted of second-degree assault in Sherburne County in 2009, which made it illegal for him to possess firearms, Backstrom said.

Backstrom said he’ll submit Johnson’s case to the U.S. attorney’s office for possible charging under federal law. If federal charges are bought, the state charges will be dismissed.

Johnson’s bail was set at $1.5 million without conditions and $1 million with conditions. Johnson remained in custody Friday. His next court appearance is May 20 at 1:30 p.m. in Hastings.

email to a coworker saying she lost her job for a “stupid decision,” and “I am starting to face the reality of what I did and it is something I will have to pay the consequence for which I am prepared to do.”

An initial audit revealed $95,000 in cash was missing. The investigation revealed that Bremner falsified daily entries that allowed her through time to take cash from the bank while keeping the drawer balanced. The entries showed she “bought” cash from the vault to balance her teller drawer and would then “reverse” the entry she made to make it look like the money in the vault was balanced.

The audit also found that Bremner tried to conceal her embezzlement by falsifying a log so it looked like she provided $86,000 to an armored car service.

She tried to cover the drawer shortage by running false transactions through her personal bank accounts.

Bremner made her first court appearance May 3 with a $10,000 bail without conditions set, $5,000 with conditions. She is due to appear in court July 22.

A felony conviction could hold up to a 20 year sentence and $100,000 fine.

Burnsville man advocacting for the disabled

by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

You could say that Chris Juhn, 24, has a beef with “the Man.” He’s homosexual, but it’s not any gay-rights agenda that has him stirred up.

Juhn has a pervasive developmental disorder. He’s bugged by the intersection of his place on the autism spectrum with disabled people’s place in society.

For Juhn, “the Man” is about classmates who shun or bully, schools that often teach down to disabled people and a society that undervalues and underestimates them.

“You talk about bullying amongst the GLBT population,” said Juhn, of Burnsville. “You compare it to disabled people ... they get bullied beyond belief, and everybody’s focusing on the GLBT community. If you focus on disabled people and how we get treated in school, it’s horrible.”

Fast-talking and articulate, Juhn has been learning new skills for what he says is his growing advocacy for disability rights and respect.

On May 18 he’ll complete LETTERS, from 5A

Compass pointed in the right direction To the editor: A great “thank you” to Pastor David Livingston for his letter of the same subject on April 26.

Livingston, with great understanding to gays, reminded us through scripture of the real meaning of marriage and the reasons “to want marriage laws upheld in their traditional form.”

His message is especially poignant in a time when many religious leaders and many of our legislators have erred under the banners of “political correctness” and “all-inclusiveness.” I thank him for pointing our moral compass in the right direction.

Partners in Policymaking, an eight-month advocacy training program for adults with disabilities and parents of young children with developmental disabilities.

Begun 26 years ago by the Minnesota Governor’s Council on Developmental Disabilities, the program has expanded across the nation and into many foreign countries. Participants apply for one of 40 spots per session.

“I’ve never been through any training program that’s been this extensive, that’s been this good, that’s been this inspiring,” Juhn said.

The program includes a survey of battles already won.

Mostly gone are the institutions that once housed the disabled, thanks to those who advocated on their behalf, Juhn said.

“There’s a lot more dignity that’s been given to people with disabilities. Before, it was like you were an animal, or worse than one.”

Now is the time to time for self-advocacy to rise, he said.

“I do think disability rights are the next huge, major civil rights movement in the country beyond the GLBT movement,”

Help prevent arson To the editor: Did you know 65 percent of Minnesota’s 318 incendiary structure fires reported in 2011 happened in residential properties?

May 5 -11 is Arson Awareness Week in Minnesota. The theme is “Reducing Residential Arson.”

Residential arson can be prevented by implementing neighborhood clean-ups and improving internal and external security around homes and abandoned properties.

Neighborhood crime prevention groups can add arson and suspicious activity to their watch.

Nationally, 50 percent of arson arrests are chil-

he said. “There are bigger issues in the disabled community than the GBLT could even imagine.

It’s just that the GLBT community has gotten on board sooner.”

The son of Karen and Carlos Juhn, Juhn attended District 196 schools growing up, staring with Echo Park Elementary. After his diagnosis, he was moved to Red Pine and its Communication Interaction Program for students with high-functioning autism.

“I don’t have as good of social skills as most people,” Juhn said.

“I don’t grasp things, like, some sarcasm, I don’t get. I’m not as sociable, I guess. And I guess I’m just different, so they label you.”

Special education at Falcon Ridge Middle School was “hell,” said Juhn, who has especially unfond memories of one teacher.

“Basically, if the slowest person in the class couldn’t grasp what you grasped, a lot of times (teachers) would make it so you wouldn’t learn anything more,” he said. “Basically, they just teach one bit of curriculum to everybody.

“You basically get put in all these classes and you get labeled by the teachers and by the students. It causes you to separate

dren under the age of 18.

In Minnesota in 2011, 55 percent of arson arrests were juveniles. Of the 91 kids arrested in Minnesota that year, some were younger than 10 years old.

Juvenile arson is also primarily residential arson and can be prevented. If your child has experimented with or misused fire it can be deadly. Addressing misuse of fire early, with appropriate intervention, can prevent a child from getting hurt or killed, getting involved in the legal system, or even becoming a serial arsonist. Youth Firesetting Prevention & Intervention teams are located throughout the state to provide appropriate intervention and stop this dangerous behavior before it is too late.

yourself from the regular student body and basically create this idea in your head that, ‘I’m disabled, I’m different than these people, I’m not as good as these people.’ ” Eastview High School was better, said Juhn, who graduated in 2006 with a grade-point average of about 2.7.

“The whole middle school experience set me off so much that I just really didn’t try hard, or I really didn’t try at all, when high school came around,” he said.

“That was my fault, you know?

But part of it was the mindset that I got put into in middle school. Plus, I didn’t believe in myself then, either.”

After high school Juhn attended District 196’s Transition Plus, a program for young adults with special needs. He then attended Itasca Community College for two semesters and is now studying commercial photography at Hennepin Technical College.

He’s done some shooting for Occupy Homes MN, an activist group that vows to defend people from foreclosure and eviction.

On the disabilities front, one of the hot legislative topics is the

a meeting with the family and determine the best intervention strategy. There are many reasons that children start fires and the local teams are set up to help children and families be safe from fire and prevent juvenile arson.

Two-tiered minimum wage proposal To the editor: This week the Minnesota House of Representatives approved a minimum wage increase.

While the House passed the increase, we ask legislators to consider the impact on restaurants and

federal ABLE Act, which would allow people with disabilities and their families to establish accounts for purposes such as education and housing without endangering their access to federal benefits such as Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income.

“There are people I know and I went to school with that have tons of potential that basically live off the state now, don’t have a job, because if you work a job, you get penalized and you lose money,” Juhn said.

It’s time for people with disabilities to “make noise” about their issues, he said.

“I talk to so many people with disabilities. We’re p---ed,” Juhn said. “Everybody’s like, ‘How cute. They’re standing up for their rights.’ No. People really are truly angry at the way they’ve been treated. It’s not just me.”

related industries if the state continues to ignore tips as part of the income earned by many restaurant employees.

A survey of Minnesota restaurants found that tipped employees make an average of $18 per hour statewide and $22 per hour in the metro area.

We want to maintain these good jobs and keep table service restaurants viable.

However a minimum wage increase that does not recognize tips as income could cause restaurants to reduce employee hours, increase menu prices or delay investment or expansion. Restaurants don’t want to do that.

The Minnesota Restaurant Association has put forward a balanced plan that protects the wages of tipped employees.

The proposal would create a new tipped em-

ployee minimum wage tier. If a tipped employee earns at least $12 per hour including tips, they would receive the current base minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. If they didn’t make $12 an hour during the pay period, they would earn the new minimum wage plus tips. The floor of $12 per hour is higher than any of the proposed minimum wage hikes at the Capitol.

At a recent town hall meeting, Gov. Mark Dayton suggested that restaurants might need to be considered differently regarding a minimum wage increase. The MRA’s reasonable plan is the right approach.

or households that have not owned a home in the past three years can use this financing with 30-year FHA or VA loans.

Veterans do not have to be first-time homebuyers and are eligible for this program if they have not previously used a first-time homebuyer program.

Single-family homes, townhomes or condominiums in Dakota County are eligible for the program with a maximum purchase price of $271,590.

Income limits are $82,300 for a one- or twoperson household and $90,530 for a three- or more person household.

Up to $10,000 in down payment and closing cost assistance loans are also available and amounts vary based on income. These loans feature zero percent interest and are deferred until the first mortgage is paid off, the home is sold or refinanced, or the home is no longer the buyer’s primary residence.

Buyers accessing the First Time Homebuyer Program must complete an approved homebuyer education course before closing on their loan. The Dakota County CDA offers monthly Home Stretch homebuyer education workshops and the new online homebuyer education program called Framework.

The Dakota County CDA partners with the local mortgage lending community to administer the program. Participating lenders have the necessary paperwork to qualify households for the first-time homebuyer financing, mortgage credit certificate and down payment assistance.

These programs are part of the Dakota County CDA’s Homeownership Connection resources that provide homebuyers and homeowners tools to be successful. For more information, visit www.dakotacda.org or call 651-6754442.

The Taste of Lakeville aims to please Annual Rotary event raises money for community causes

by Laura Adelmann and Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Over the past 11 years, the Taste of Lakeville has turned from a little idea into an event that has made a big difference in the lives of many Lakeville area residents.

The primary fundraiser for the Lakeville Rotary Club, to be held from 5-9 p.m. Thursday, May 16, at the Lakeville Area Arts Center, has led to donations going to more than 30 community initiatives primarily focused on youths.

This is one event that, literally and figuratively, leaves a good “taste” in one’s mouth.

Among the initiatives to benefit the most from

the Taste of Lakeville are scholarships for graduating seniors in Lakeville schools, school music and sports programs, participation in day camps, the senior class and afterprom parties, and scholarships for STRIVE – a program that aims to boost the scholastic performance of students who are faced with a variety of challenges.

Adults ages 21 and up can attend the Taste of Lakeville, which will include more than 30 food vendors from Lakeville area restaurants, more than 450 kinds of wine samples and many beers.

Live music will be provided by “mock-androllers” The Dweebs on one stage and Vienna on another.

The Dweebs are a perennial favorite, entertaining the crowd with their high-energy and sometimes interactive set of songs from the likes of

BUSINESS, from 1A restaurant.

In an April 29 letter to the city, the Malmbergs’ attorney, David J. McGee, referenced possible legal action, citing numerous breeches of an easement agreement he said Dave Malmberg has with United Properties that restricts changes in common areas, including parking and building setback requirements.

The letter also stated concerns Dave Malmberg’s property value would be reduced because his building would face the rear of the Advance Auto Parts building.

According to McGee’s letter, the Malmbergs “vehemently� oppose construction of the Advance Auto Parts building, and according to minutes, Dave and Eric Malmberg appeared before the Lakeville Planning Commission April 4 to cite concerns about the project; they attended the city meeting as well, but Lakeville Mayor Matt Little did not open the issue for public comment before the council’s vote.

City Attorney Roger Knutson wrote in a May 2 letter to Lakeville Planning Director Daryl Morey that the city is not party to the agreement “and has no authority to enforce it.�

Knutson wrote that the city’s role was to determine if the plat complies with city ordinances and statutory requirements. “If it does comply, the city must approve it,� Knutson wrote. “The city cannot consider private agreements in making that decision.�

ENGGREN, from 1A Lakeville Chamber of Commerce executive director, said “I think it’s a sad day for the Lakeville business community, and especially downtown Lakeville, when you have a stalwart of that business community pass away.�

The Enggren’s grocery store became a gathering place for residents and farmers to meet, exchange ideas and form friendships, eventually becoming the city’s largest supermarket, stocked with groceries and retail items, according to a 2012 Sun Thisweek article.

John Enggren and his bother Jerry Enggren joined their father, John G. Enggren, in the business in 1954. Joel Enggren said the brothers were very close and worked well together. “My dad was more of the people person, and Jerry was a more hands-on kind of guy,� Joel said.

Jack Matasosky, CEO of Appro Development, said when he came to Lakeville in 1978, the Enggren family “was pretty much most of the business in Lakeville.�

He said the family welcomed new business growth, and exerted “great influence and character in Lakeville over the years.�

The brothers were involved in the community, helping to found Pan-OProg in 1967 to mark the opening of Airlake Industrial Park and celebrate the merging of the city and township of Lakeville; Jer-

In the letter, Knutson also noted a clause in the development contract that holds the city, its officers, employees and agents harmless from claims, damages sustained or costs incurred resulting from plat approval and development.

Keith Ulstad, senior vice president of Retail Development for United Properties, told Planning Commission members the company bought the property in 2004 and there has been no interest in it until Advance Auto Parts approached them, according to meeting minutes.

He reportedly said they want to divide the lot to avoid building a multi-tenant building, considering the recent lack of interest in the site.

Meeting minutes state that Dave Malmberg said they originally wanted to build where the Advance Auto Parts building is proposed, but United Properties denied them because there was going to be a high-end, sit-down restaurant there.

Eric Malmberg said that in the summer of 2004, he had lunch with Community and Economic Development Director Dave Olson and former City Administrator Bob Erickson, who “made it very clear to him that there was not going to be any options for this site other than a sit-down restaurant, period,� minutes state.

In an interview with Sun Thisweek, Erickson denied ever having made that comment or going to lunch with Eric or Dave Malmberg, noting at that time he was interim city administrator,

working part time to help transition City Administrator Steve Mielke into the position. “I guarantee you, there has never been a commitment to a sit-down restaurant in that location,� Erickson said, adding that when he was administrator, city officials did not conduct business over lunch to discuss development projects. “It’s something I didn’t believe in,� Erickson said.

Mielke said there is no written city documentation restricting the property use to a high-end, sit-down restaurant. “We were meticulous,�

Erickson said. “If we promised it, it would be in writing, not just a willy-nilly statement.�

According to the minutes, Dave Malmberg said they spent over $100,000 on soil improvements to construct the current building and parking lot, and the plan does not allow them enough parking because the shared parking agreement was based on night-time restaurant use versus RE/ MAX’s daytime use of the lot.

In his letter, McGee, stated that the Malmbergs may pursue “any and all legal remedies� to either stop the construction or fairly compensate him for the damage it will suffer.

When asked if they are going to file a lawsuit, Eric Malmberg stated in a text message they “are going to exhaust all possibilities in an effort to find an amicable resolution.�

ry Enggren died in 2010 at 80 years old.

Matasosky said the brothers would be proud of how big Pan-O-Prog has grown, attracting people from all over. “I don’t think they envisioned it getting as big as it did,� Matasosky said. “To see it grow as a community celebration is quite a tribute to them.�

MJ Henschel, sales manager at the Chart House, said she often shopped in the Enggren’s stores, describing their shop for women as the “place to go for women’s clothing.�

Braun said the family’s clothing store “fell by the wayside� once the Burnsville Center opened in 1977, drawing away their customer base.

She ran the grocery store for the last few years, until it crossed the 100-year mark and closed in 2006, also a victim of growing competition and significant changes in the retail industry.

Doreen Enggren, Jerry Enggren’s widow, said the brothers respected each other as businessmen and cared deeply about the community. “I think it was just the love of the town� that kept them in Lakeville, she said.

Joel Enggren said his father later bought the former Lakeville liquor store from the city and opened Babe’s Sports Bar and Grill, a popular downtown bar and restaurant now under different ownership.

John Enggren held his 60th birthday celebration at Babe’s right after he bought it, Joel said.

His energy and interest in others set him apart, according to those who knew and worked with him in the community for decades. “Just like his father and brother, John was just a stalwart citizen in the community,� said Maynard Johnson, creator of the 1,500-acre industrial park and Airlake Airport.

The Enggren brothers also made a point to donate food and clothing to local families in need and were very involved in community organizations including the Chamber of Commerce. “That’s one thing he taught me,� Joel Enggren said. “To always give back.�

John Enggren’s sister, Shirlee Scott-Sandvik of Golden Valley said, like all Enggrens, John Enggren had worked in his father’s store since childhood.

She recalled a time that may have been the key to his business acumen: He hitched a sugar beet train to Chaska, which was “just something kids did� back then. “My dad was so upset with him from that time on, I think he spent most of his after-school time in the store,� she said. “He was in hot water.�

What may have been intended as punishment became a source of admiration for John Enggren’s siblings, who witnessed his

Players can bring their own equipment or rent it at MN Pro Paintball but must use the company’s environmentally safe paintballs, which will discounted that day to $55 for 2,000. Paintball guns brought in must meet the company’s safety standards; fully automatic guns are not allowed.

All proceeds will be donated to the Children’s Hospital cardiac unit, a charity that holds significance for MN Pro Paintball founder and CEO Matt Ames, 29.

He was rushed there shortly after being born with a congenital heart defect and has been a patient there ever since. At 18, he received a pacemaker, but his medical challenges are no match for his determination to be active and engaged, Emerick said. “He’s the most energetic, active person I’ve ever met,� Emerick said.

sudden business involvement awaken a new sophistication in him. “Jerry and I, we just thought he had it made,�

Scott-Sandvik said. “He got in the truck all the time with my dad, and they talked business around the dinner table. It was a big deal.�

Joel Enggren said his father went out of his way to get to know others. “It was like he knew everybody,� Joel Enggren said. “Wherever he went, he had to buy somebody a drink.�

Mike Waters, Provincial Bank president, called Enggren’s death “the passing of an era,� noting the family, along with prominent business leaders like Earl Gephart and Jerry Erickson, helped shape the community and build Lakeville’s foundation. “John is part of the historical families here,�

Waters said. “He was very active in Lakeville and part of a group that was very supportive of the Chamber of Commerce. That group of people were really kind of the core of Lakeville, so he’s the last of them. It’s a sad thing.�

John Enggren is survived by wife Lois, sons Joel (Lisa); Jay (Debbie) and Jeff (Jill), many grandchildren and his sister Shirlee Scott-Sandvik of Golden Valley.

Laura Adelmann is at laura. adelmann@ecm-inc.com.

“He’s a fighter. He still has issues, but he never lets that hold him back.�

In the past four years the MN Pro Paintball event has raised more than $100,000 for the cardiac unit, and it’s growing in popularity.

Last year, the event drew almost 500 players.

This year, organizers have already raised $35,000 in corporate donations and are planning for at least 700 players, who will use every field for the adventure.

Paintball props include giant pipelines, woods and a 10,000-square foot castle where teams will attempt to gather supplies to pick up points for the win.

Everyone is invited to play, but there is also entertainment for those who would rather cheer the teams on, Emerick said.

A bounce house and face painting will be on site for tots, and an impact paintball shooting range designed for children will be open for them to try the sport.

HOUSING, from 1A

Numerous businesses will also have booths on site, including Dodge of Burnsville, Buffalo Wild Wings and Health Source Chiropractic; Emerick said there is room for more sponsors and welcomes those who are interested.

JNH Band will play during lunch from noon to 1:30 p.m., and a raffle with prizes including theater tickets and paintball supplies will be held when the awards presentation starts at 5 p.m. “It’s a great cause,�

Emerick said. “It’s a great way to get out in the community and try something new.�

The gates open at 7 a.m. and games are set to start at 10 a.m. Registration is available at the door on the day of the event or online at challengeforchildrens.com. “This is a lot of fun,�

Emerick said. “It’s a different type of charity event.�

another one-access neighborhood.

Morey said the area’s wet and steep topography prevented the city from an alternative road access.

He said a drainage channel in the area and private property ownership further complicated the area’s access to a public street.

Council Member Kerrin Swecker, who had welcomed Morey back to present development activities before council, said the road will “always be troublesome, until we figure out what the longterm plan for it is,� but they “need to develop this community.�

She said both sides of County Road 50 will be right in, right out access once the road is developed to its full potential. “As difficult as it is to put homes, or put anything onto County Road 50 right now, if we have a developer that’s willing to develop in that area, I still think it’s a great piece of land,�

Swecker said.

City Administrator Steve Mielke said the county and city tries to avoid restricted access developments, but it is too costly to change, and noted emergency responders would have to adjust driving patterns so they are coming from the proper direction.

according to the city.

Morey said Jewel Court does not meet county spacing guidelines for full access onto Kenwood Trail, and would be constrained to a right-in, right-out only, as Kenwood Trail is planned to widen to a fourlane divided road.

The Dakota County Plat Commission is requiring the developer to install a sign at the location indicating the road will have future restricted access.

Several City Council members cited concerns about adding to traffic and access problems for residents off Kenwood Trail.

Nearby Jaguar Path residents have only one way in and out of their development, and parents of students at nearby Kenwood Trail Middle School have described morning and afternoon commutes crossing Kenwood Trail as “playing chicken.�

According to the county, County Road 50 has 15,400 average daily trips.

That is predicted to increase to 22,300 by 2030.

Morey said the 188th Street intersection would be a full-access point to the development, and when property to the east develops, it will have access to Kenwood Trail.

Panther golfers take Cougars have makings for boys golf narrow lead in SSC of contender Two conference tournaments leads Players feel putting is holding team back

to two medalists for Lakeville South

SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A month from now, if all goes as planned, the Lakeville North boys golf team will be scouting the links at Bunker Hills Golf Club in Coon Rapids – site of the Class AAA state tournament.

Anyone who has ever played golf knows that things don’t always go as planned. Focusing on the next shot is usually best.

The next shot for the team is to repeat as champions of the South Suburban Conference.

Lakeville North has a narrow lead midway through the season after winning the second South Suburban Conference tournament on Monday at Minnesota Valley Country Club in Bloomington after finishing runner-up in the first round.

The conference is decided by the results of four conference tournaments throughout the season. Lakeville North has 19 points with Lakeville South close behind with 18, with two matches remaining.

Mike Oberg led the Panthers with 73, which was second best in the tournament. Bobby Thomas shot 77, and Freddy Thomas carded 75. Both Matt Ostdiek and John Henke came in with 80s.

The early returns for the Lakeville South boys golf team show is has the parts to be a contender in 2013.

Two of those parts have already earned medalist honors at the first two South Suburban Conference tournaments.

Max Redetzke was the most recent medalist shooting 71 at the second South Suburban Conference tournament Monday at the Minnesota Valley Country Club in Bloomington.

He said his first round wasn’t the best, but things really came around on the back nine.

“The greens were rolling really fast and I think I was just putting well,” Redetzke said. “I haven’t had a lot of time practicing, but the greens were similar to Brackett’s (Lakeville South’s home course).”

Teammate Justin Doeden had 76, Jordan Nelson 81, Phil Thompson 82 and Noah Rasinski 87.

“It’s been a slow start, but now I feel more comfortable,” Redetzke said.

“The whole team is coming around. We’re getting better every day.”

The Cougars finished third with 310 behind winner Lakeville North at 305 and Eagan at 307.

It didn’t help that one

With five to six golfers capable of shooting in the 70s, it’s easy to see why the Panthers have high expectations.

“We have so much depth,” Bobby Thomas said. “It helps when I play terrible, we have guys who can pick that up.”

Oberg has shone early on for the Panthers. He was the medalist at the first conference tournament at Creeks Bend Golf Course in Prior Lake on April 30 and runner-up during the second.

“The swing is cooperating nicely,” Oberg said.

Panther girls lacrosse winning big Lakeville North posting several double-digit victories

by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

If you’re going to lose, sometimes the best time is early in the season.

It’s much better to have a list of things to work on during the first week, rather than during playoffs.

After a season opening loss to Eden Prairie 16-7 last month, the Lakeville North girls lacrosse team made the most of its learning experience. Most teams have been losing to Eden Prairie this season. The No. 1 ranked Eagles outscored opponents on average 16-3 this season.

Since then, Lakeville North has been on a tear, outscoring opponents by more than 10 goals every night.

“It shook the dust off us after a difficult spring,” head coach Mo Gaitan said. “We are better than our performance in that game, and we have played to our full potential since.

I like the fact that we had our hair blown back early in the season. It put things into perspective and

showed us where we need to be at the end of the year.”

The Panthers followed up the Eden Prairie loss with a 19-8 victory against Apple Valley, the team that knocked them out of the playoffs in 2012. “(It) was a huge mental hurdle for our girls,” Gaitan said. “Being able to take down the team that ended their season last year helped us build more momentum. We have a deep, competitive conference, so every win is important to us.

They rode the win to a six-game winning streak with victories against Holy Angels 17-5, Rosemount 19-7, Bloomington Jefferson 21-9, Prior Lake 18-9 and Bloomington Kennedy 21-12.

The offensive prowess of Hannah Koloski (27 goals, 9 assists), Kacie Waagbo (21, 5), Lauren Storhoff (14, 5), Hannah Tillou (10, 0), Logan Dobratz (13, 12), Emmie Madsen (9, 4) and Emily Engelhart (7, 3) have helped the girls get off to a fast start.

With a comfortable lead, the Panthers have been spread around the playing time and it has allowed the girls to get some experience at different positions. The result is 17 girls have scored at least one point (a goal or an assist).

“Our coaches have emphasized team-oriented offense since day one,” Gaitan said. “Seeing the girls execute and share the load is very rewarding. We definitely have our go-to players, but I think everyone on this team is crucial to our success.”

Since allowing 16 goals in the opener, the defense has only allowed double digits once since. Goal keeper Alyssa Friesen has kept the opponents frustrated with some help from Megan Skelly in goal and the rest of the defense.

“They understand the game and they play together as a unit,” Gaitan said.

“Limiting shots is important, and they know Alyssa has their back if there’s a letdown.”

The double digits came on Tuesday against Kenne-

dy, although the game was already in hand by halftime with a 16-4 Panther lead.

The girls won’t have long before playoffs begin.

The Section 1 tournament is scheduled to begin on May 28, so they hope to put it all together quickly.

“Every team in our conference is out to take us down, so we have to come prepared to compete against everyone that stands in our way,” Gaitan said. “We came into this season with no shortage of talent, but the girls needed stronger chemistry and confidence.”

The run has given the Panthers a 5-0 record in the South Suburban Conference, leaving the girls in a race with 6-0 Lakeville South.

If it stays that way, the girls will have to wait to find a champion. The teams are scheduled to play in the final game before playoffs begin on May 21.

Best start yet for Cougar girls lacrosse Lakeville South in hunt for South Suburban Conference title

by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Lakeville South girls lacrosse team came into the season with high expectations, but after nearly a month of postponements and rescheduling, a few questions lingered.

Missing a month of outdoor games has left little time for players new to varsity to grow accustomed to competition in the South Suburban Conference.

Even the programs with several veterans returning had to shake off the rust and it leaves little time for a slump.

Lakeville South answered those questions by winning its first six games.

“Our first two games were a little closer than we liked (both by one goal), but both Prior Lake and

Burnsville are good teams, so I am not too concerned about our overall result,” head coach Patrick Crandall said.

The Cougars are quick learners and moved closer to playing a complete game with three-straight victories over Apple Valley 166, Bloomington Kennedy 15-3, Farmington 17-7 and Eastview 10-7.

Nearly everyone has contributed on offense.

“I don’t see one player on our offensive set who is not a legitimate threat to either score or make the right pass on an assist,” Crandall said.

Abbie Ness (18 goals, 21 assists) has been the leader offensively with much help from Abby Quinell (22 goals), Madeline Channey (12 goals) Logan Halvorson (10 goals) and Brooke Galle (15 goals). Courtney

Backstrom, Maddie Brown and Chloe Crosby also have contributed.

On defense Halvorson, Annika Tureson and Alyssa Reigel have been helping goalkeeper Kelsey Olson keep the opponents’ score low.

“I would say that our MVP so far is our goalie, sophomore Kelsey Olson,” Crandall said. “She just started playing the game last year when I saw some potential in her as a goalie.

We put her in goal halfway through last season, and she has taken the reins and run with it.”

It’s been easy to stay on a winning streak when you play nearly every day. The Cougars have four games in five days this week.

It’s been the best start since Lakeville South has ventured out as its own team. Lakeville North and

South played as a combined program until 2010.

At that time, the majority of the experienced players attended Lakeville North.

“I think the reasons for the recent success is just a maturation of our team,” Crandall said. “When we split three years ago we started to put in place a philosophy and groundwork for the kind of play we are looking for here at South. We have been working those three years to work on a specific style of play, and with the talent that we have here, it has been a steady progression to results we are seeing thus far.”

The the leadership of the veteran players has helped.

Crandall pointed out that it hasn’t just been the seniors.

Several sophomores have been on the team since they were in eighth grade.

“All of them have been working in the same system and together for the past three years,” Crandall said.

“This is just the culmination of their leadership and hard work.”

The girls will be back on the field Friday against Rosemount at the Lakeville North turf field.

The third conference meet is scheduled Tuesday at Brackett’s Crossing, Lakeville South’s home course.

“We’ll definitely be ready for that one,” Redetzke said.

PANTHERS, from 17A “The only thing I think I need to really work on is putting. That’s the only thing that’s holding us back.”

It was a common theme.

Nothing inside can replicate the natural greens on a golf course, which have been covered with snow through most of April.

The tournament at Minnesota Valley was supposed to be played April 22. Seven of the team’s tournaments have been either rescheduled or cancelled.

The greens at Minnesota Valley were quick, which took some adjustment.

“You just have to stay positive,” Bobby Thomas said. “You’re going to have bad shots because of the lack of work.”

The players say there’s been a little “rust” on the golf clubs.

“It was a struggle,” Bobby Thomas said. “I felt like I was hitting the ball solidly, but the short game wasn’t that good.

The short game has been really rough. Last summer I was shooting 69.”

With just a few weeks left, the players feel like it’s plenty of time to scrape the rest of the rust off.

“I think I’m one good round away from being back,” Freddy Thomas said. “Once we start putting well we’ll be back in the 200s.”

The goal is to compete for a state championship in June. They feel they need to break into the 200s

consistently to get there.

The Section 1AAA first round is scheduled May 30 at Bellwood Oaks in Hastings. A win there would put them at Bunker Hills.

“The main goal for the talent on our team is to win the state tournament,” Oberg said. “We got upset last year, but we have one of the best teams Lakeville North has ever had. Last year we played really well early on, but we just didn’t have it at sections. We just need to peak at the right time this year.”

The boys also played at Ridges at Sand Creek in Jordan on Tuesday in a nonconference tournament. The Panthers finished third with 301 behind Wayzata and Minnetonka.

Oberg shot 71 and Bobby Thomas posted 73.

That was the only meet of the week, so the boys had the rest of the time to practice.

The Panthers will get another chance to increase their lead in the South Suburban Conference on Tuesday at Brackett’s Crossing in Lakeville. The final conference tournament is May 21 at Inverwood Golf Course in Eagan.

Girls golf The Lakeville North girls golf team won the a the Prior Lake Invitational on Tuesday at the Wilds.

Megan is the quarterback of our defensive system. She’s a leader on and off the field, and she’s a tremendous athlete. Her primary position is low defender. She has nine (9) ground balls and four (4) caused turnovers, along with two (2) goals to date. Our defensive unit, lead

by Megan, has shut down opponents this year allowing a total of 54 goals against. Recently, she demonstrated how athletic she really is, in the absence of our starting goalie this past week, Megan, one of our senior captains, stepped up between the pipes. With very limited previous goal tending experience, after two games Megan is 2-0 and ranked 11th in the sate for goals against average (9). She now has “solid goaltender” to add to her athletic resume.

SIMON WILL GIVE YOU MUCH JOY! Meet Simon, a 10-11 month old neutered male. He is quite handsome with his athletic wild cat look. He has the most loving disposition, and is tons of fun with loads of personality!

Simon and his sister were rescued 2 months ago when they were found wandering in a ďŹ eld. Simon does not kiss up to strangers right away but once he calls you his own then you are in for a huge treat! His foster parents’ exact words: “Once Simon knows you then snuggling, petting and belly rubs are the absolute best things in the world! Every time we come to see him he greets us at the door. As soon as we sit down he jumps in our laps for a big snuggle. After that, it’s play time and he chases his feather wand until he’s exhausted.

He has awesome ninja talents! His acrobatic feats are breathtaking!�

Thisweekend WAR COMES TO FARMINGTON World War II re-enactment event runs May 18-19 at Dakota City

by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The fog of war is descending on Farmington, and you’re invited.

A World War II re-enactment event at Dakota City Heritage Village May 18-19 will see mock European Theater battles staged by living history groups portraying Axis and Allied soldiers.

As for the outcome of the faux skirmishes, those rooting for the Allies won’t be disappointed.

“The battle scenario is set near the end of the war, outside a German-occupied railroad depot,” explained event coordinator Jon Boroom, who also participates in the mock battles. “The Germans will be milling about near the depot, the Russians will attack, and the Americans will come in and finish it off.”

The weekend’s activities run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday.

Mock battles are sched-

uled in the morning and afternoon each day.

The event, now in its fourth year, also features soldier encampments, weapons and military vehicle displays – including a Sherman tank and Russian armored vehicle – and talks by World War II veterans.

A military vehicle parade through downtown Farmington returns this year, and is sizing up to be bigger than ever.

“We’ve opened the parade up to civilian vehicles from that era, and we’ve invited local car clubs to come take part,” Boroom said.

New this year will be a World War II-era fashion show with civilian and women’s military attire from the 1940s. A military swap meet also is planned, with vendors selling original and reproduction military uniforms and equipment.

Minnesota’s Beyond the Yellow Ribbon organization will be on hand throughout the weekend to provide information

Historical re-enactors will stage infantry battles during the World War II event at Dakota City Heritage Village.

It’s almost like getting free windows for a year!

SELL

During our FREE in-home Window Diagnosis, our Project Manager will identify the windows most beneficial to replace.

And because our windows are not available in stores or from contractors, we’ll bring one to you to demonstrate its benefits.

Then we’ll provide a price quote that’s good for a year.

BUILD

Using our patented Fibrex® material, we will custom build your windows to your home’s exact measurements. Fibrex has twice the strength of vinyl and requires virtually none of the maintenance that wood demands.* When you choose a stronger window material, you’ll likely replace your windows just once.

INSTALL

Even before wiping their feet outside your front door, many of our Master Installers have had over 10 years of experience.

They are so trained and skilled, most installations—including the clean up—are completed in just one day.

WARRANTY

Renewal by Andersen is the company that takes responsibility for the entire process, including warranting the windows and installation.* And backed by Andersen’s 109 history, we’re not going anywhere.
