Dakota County officials say they expect the state shut down beginning July 1 will stall most road work. Although the county may have the funds to work on projects like Cedar Av- enue, it cannot continue without state in- spectors. Commissioner Willis Branning said the county may be able to hire a private inspec- tor to move Cedar Avenue work along, but work on the Hastings bridge and Highway 169 will likely stop. “Things are going to be pretty slow around here,” Branning said. “The out- look is not good for any county in the state.’ During the last shut down in 2005, county services were largely unaffected since the state passed portions of its bud- get, said Matt Smith, finance director for Dakota County. Officials expect to be hit much harder this time around as legislators and Gov. Dayton fail to agree on any budget pro- posals. Millions of dollars dedicated to public health, drivers licenses and domestic abuse services may not come after July 1. Dakota County faces a heavy financial burden: $71 million of its budget is com- prised of state and federal aid distributed through the state. This money supports approximately 289 jobs within the county. It is unclear which specific services will be affected by the shut down, Smith said. “It’s a moving target,” he said. County officials will need to determine which services among those not specified by the state are essential. Those deemed nonessential will be temporarily cut off.

Four suspects – three men and one woman in their 20s – are being sought by police after they alleged-ly assaulted two women just west of downtown Rose-mount in the early morning hours of Sunday. Two Rosemount women, one of whom was hospital-ized and required surgery to treat her broken jaw, told police they were assaulted by the group of four people as they were walking home around 2 a.m. The assault occurred near the intersection of Lower 147th Street West and Cameo Avenue after one of the two women told the four boisterous pedes-trians that they should quiet down because there were police squads in the area. As the women walked past the group, the female

in the group jumped on the back of one woman and began assaulting her. The victim was knocked to the street and two of the men joined in the assault. The other woman tried to inter-vene and was knocked to the street. When one of the victims attempted to flag down a passing motorist, the sus-pects started walking away toward Canada Avenue, but one male returned and kicked one victim in the mouth, which allegedly broke her jaw, which re-quired surgery and two days of hospitalization. The other woman re-ceived minor injuries. The four suspects are de-scribed as follows: • White female, early 20s, 5-foot-4 or 5-foot-5, 130-140 pounds; sandy blonde,

shoulder length slightly curly hair; wearing khaki colored shorts with pockets down the side. • Light brown skinned male (appeared bi-racial), early 20s, 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-10, slender build, dark hair in a “buzz” cut; wearing khaki colored shorts and a T-shirt. • White male, very pale or light skinned, early 20s, 5-foot-9 to 5-foot-10, very thin build. • White male, 6-foot; wearing a baseball hat, jeans and T-shirt. Anyone with informa-tion about the assault or the suspects is asked to contact Officer Beth Richtsmeier, Rosemount Police Depart-ment, at (651) 423-4491.

Suspects sought in assault west of downtown Rosemount area

An Apple Valley man has been charged with heroin possession after police re-sponded to a report he was approaching people in a business’ parking lot and asking them for money. Jarrod Clinton Durbin, 30, told police he was sell-ing magazines when ap-proached by officers at about 12:30 p.m. Thursday, June 16, in the parking lot in Eagan, according to the criminal complaint.

Police arrested Durbin because he had a warrant for failure to pay child sup-port, and subsequently found a tourniquet and a syringe in his pants pocket, the complaint said. Lab tests by the St. Paul Police Crime Laboratory determined there was heroin on the syringe, and Durbin has been charged with fifth-degree controlled substance possession, a felony punish-able by up to five years in

prison and a $10,000 fine. Police say they received a report that Durbin also had been approaching people in a neighboring Eagan busi-ness’ parking lot the previous day, June 15, and had been removed from the premises. Durbin was booked into the Dakota County Jail in Hastings following his ar-rest and remained in custody there as of Tuesday morn-ing.

Heroin charge follows parking lot incident

Police say they found more than just funny money when they arrested an Ap-ple Valley woman for pur-chasing a pack of cigarettes with a fake $20 bill. Shannon Dee Gonza-gowski, 22, was showing signs of alcohol and drug intoxication – and illegally possessed the powerful pre-scription sedative Xanax – at the time of her arrest for passing counterfeit cur-rency, according to police. A criminal complaint filed this month in Dakota County District Court gives the following account: Apple Valley police were called to the BP gas station at 7510 147th St. W. around

7 p.m. March 20 on a report of counterfeit currency. An employee told officers that Gonzagowski had paid for a pack of Marlboro cigarettes with what at first glance ap-peared to be a fake $20 bill, a suspicion that was con-firmed when the employee tested the bank note with a counterfeit detector marker. Gonzagowski, who was still at the gas station when police arrived, appeared to be under the influence of al-cohol and narcotics when she spoke with an officer outside the store, the complaint said. Following her arrest, Gonzagowski was searched and 24 Xanax pills were found in her purse.

She was transported to Fairview Ridges Hospital in Burnsville, rather than the Dakota County Jail, be-cause she was intoxicated, police said. Gonzagowski has been charged with felony pos-session of a controlled sub-stance as well as possession of counterfeit currency, a gross misdemeanor. If convicted of both charges, she faces a maxi-mum penalty of 11 years in prison and $23,000 in fines. Gonzagowski was previ-ously convicted of a con-trolled-substance crime in September 2009, according to police.

Even as property values fall, Burnsville is financial-ly sound, according to the city’s 2010 audit. Burnsville’s total prop-erty value dropped 6.1 per-cent last year, more than the statewide average, according to the audit. Amid recession and the weak housing market, tax-able market value in Minne-sota cities rose on average by 1.5 percent in 2009 and fell on average by 3 percent in 2010, according to the audit report by MMKR Certified Public Accountants. Burnsville lost 0.5 per-cent in value in 2009 and 6.1 percent last year after years of steady increases, the re-port said. The audit, which shows Burnsville spends less per capita than the statewide av-erage among cities of com-parable size, was presented to the City Council June 21. Burnsville showed “im-provements in its financial well-being” in 2010, said auditor James Eichten of MMKR. “As stewards of the pub-lic’s trust, we take that work very, very seriously,” said Mayor Elizabeth Kautz, who called Burnsville “fis-cally prudent” and “conser-vative.” Burnsville’s tax capacity, or taxable base, rose by 0.5 percent in 2009 and fell by 5.2 percent last year. The city’s 2010 tax rate of 38.6 was between the state-wide average (39.2) and the metro-area average (36). The overall tax rate, including city, county and school, is much lower than the state-wide average because of Da-kota County’s low rate, the audit report said. “You actually generate higher property tax revenues compared to other cities statewide,” Eichten said. Burnsville generates more property tax revenue per capita than the average Min-nesota city, but with a simi-lar tax rate, the report said. Burnsville relies less on spe-cial assessments to fund cap-ital projects and receives less intergovernmental revenue than the average city, forcing it to rely on property taxes and other revenue sources, the report noted. Per-capita spending in Burnsville has generally been lower than the state-wide average for cities with population of 20,000 to 100,000. That’s true despite high-er-than-average public safe-ty costs caused in part by having a full-time Fire De-partment, the report said. Burnsville spent $900 per capita in 2010, compared with an average of $1,016 among cities in the same population class. “The city’s per capita expenditures for debt ser-vice are also much less than statewide averages,” the re-port said. Burnsville’s general fund revenues in 2010 ex-ceeded budgeted revenues by $674,750, or 2.1 percent. A federal grant for new po-lice officers’ salaries, better-than-expected collection of delinquent taxes, high-er-than-expected antenna lease revenues and issuance of several large permits ac-counted for the overage, the report said. General fund spending in 2010 was under budget by $836,750, or 2.8 percent. Insurance costs and unem-ployment benefits were less than expected, and fleet maintenance also came in under budget, the report said. A $15.37 million contin-gency reserve fund at the end of 2010 was equal to 53.5 percent of general fund expenditures – comfortably above the 35 percent reserve called for in the city’s own fi-nancial management plan. The city’s nine-hole, par-3 golf course got high marks in the audit. In 2010, golf course op-erations moved into the black for the first time in five years. “This is probably one of the few golf courses that have actually shown im-provement in financial oper-

ations,” Eichten said. “Golf courses are struggling dra-matically.” The Performing Arts Center fund bears watching, the audit said. The center’s operating loss has been whittled from nearly $550,000 in 2009, the center’s first year of opera-tion, to $390,000 in 2010. Operating revenues last year were $749,645, a $243,350 increase over 2009 thanks to an increase in events, the audit said. The increased bookings also pushed up operating costs

by $79,580. The Burnsville Ice Center fund logged several years of $100,000 operating losses before rebounding in 2009 but dipping to a loss of dou-ble the losses of previous years in 2010. Revenue for 2010 was $859,490 – $229,030 low-er than in 2009. That was caused mostly by the center being closed part of the year for major renovations. The water and sewer fund took operating losses begin-ning in 2009, which acceler-ated in 2010 to just under $2

million. Contributing to the losses were the cost of the first full year of operating a new sur-face-water treatment plant, sanitary sewer rate increases charged by the Metropolitan Council, and decreased wa-ter use in Burnsville. “Although this fund is in a healthy financial position, we suggest that the city con-tinues to review the water and sewer rates on an annual basis,” the audit report said.

Opinion

No hatred, no bigotry, and don’t mess with marriageTo the editor: A letter in the June 17 edition suggests that our local legislators (meaning Sen. Dan Hall and Rep. Pam Myrha) are bigoted people and intolerant of homosexuals. I am so tired of this argument, but I will concede that the homosex-ual lobby has done a great job of marketing and push-ing its agenda. I have been a follower of Jesus for 32 years. I neither hate nor despise any homo-sexual. I’m not homopho-bic. I have friends who are homosexuals. And for the record, I know both Hall and Myhra, and they have

no hatred or bigotry for ho-mosexuals either. This is a simple issue. Why are some Minnesotans so scared as to let the people decide what is the definition of marriage? Since when do we equate disagreement with hate? I may not agree with you on a number of subjects but I don’t hate you because we don’t see eye to eye. A perfect case is drunken drivers. It’s fair for us to say that none of us want a drunk to get behind a wheel and drive. Those who have been affected by a drunken driver will heartily agree. But, does that mean we hate the person because he or she has made a wrong choice? We, as a society, say that drunken driving is wrong.

That is why there are laws. In fact all of us, if faced with a choice of who to ride home with, will discriminate and say we’d rather drive home with the one who is sober. To change the defini-tion of marriage after 6,000 years and say that anybody can get married is just plain revisionist. If that is the case, then why stop at ho-mosexuals getting married? Why can’t a man be mar-ried to three or four ladies or to two of his daughters? How about his dog or cat? Why not group marriages? If you change the meaning of marriage, you open the door to the rest of these possibilities. JOHN ADAMSBurnsville

Don’t let the numbers fool youTo the editor: The June 17 letter “Bal-ance budget without tax hike” claimed to present the “bottom line” on the state budget battle, but the writ-er’s numbers just don’t add up. He claims that Gov. Tim Pawlenty limited state spending to roughly $30 bil-lion over the last two years. And therefore, the Repub-lican proposal to spend roughly $34 billion over the next two years provides a generous double-digit-per-cent spending increase. It’s true that the state spent $30 billion directly from state revenues over the past two years. But it’s also true that the state spent an additional $2 billion funded by federal stimulus money that Pawlenty criticized but accepted anyway. And it’s also true that K-12 schools spent $2 billion more that the state owes them but has delayed paying them back. Add it all up and the $34 billion Republican budget for the next two years ac-tually offers nothing more than a spending freeze. And Gov. Mark Dayton’s $36 billion budget amounts to about a 6 percent increase. Those partisans who cooked up the misleading budget numbers argue that because of how we paid for the $4 billion in stimu-lus and school spending, it shouldn’t be counted as “real” state spending. Well, I only know that if some-body in my family used a gift from an uncle and a credit card charge to pay for something, they couldn’t claim to me with a straight face that they hadn’t bought anything. And fiscal con-servatives love to argue that government should run its finances more like the aver-age family. What if the state had ac-tually spent $4 billion less than what it did over the past two years? Imagine how much tougher times would have been for school kids, the unemployed, and the sick and elderly. We

might be facing the 9.0 per-cent unemployment claimed in the letter as our current statewide rate instead of the actual 6.6 percent rate re-cently reported in the press. I’ve worked with budgets for a living, and I’ve learned that if you twist the num-bers to prove your point you only end up fooling your-self. BRUCE WILLIAMSApple Valley

Why the raise for city manager?To the editor: I just finished reading the article about Burnsville City Manager Craig Ebeling get-ting a 2 percent raise. I was touched how he had not had a raise for the last two years. Well, two years ago I was making $65,000 a year and now I may make $40,000 this year thanks to Obam-anomics. While my income has dropped significantly over the past two years, I was shocked to see my city and school taxes go up $80 while the value of my home continued to drop. Let me make sure I have this straight. My taxes go up so a city employee can have a raise that brings his salary to $137,241. Or so I can subsidize the Perform-ing Arts Center. Sometimes I get angry! Does anyone out there get it?

STEVE SCHOFIELDBurnsville

Cutting taxes not the way to successTo the editor: Gov. Mark Dayton ve-toed another fairy-tale bud-get plan with switches, shifts and overblown estimates. This is the same flawed bud-geting road we’ve been on since Tim Pawlenty served in the Legislature and passed the cuts of the Gov. Jesse Ventura budget but ig-nored the revenue portion. Last year Minnesota re-ceived over $1 billion in fed-eral stimulus funds for our

budget. To come up with the increases touted by Rep. Doug Wardlow, R-Eagan, you first have to throw out that $1 billion and count only the dollars Minneso-tans contributed. But we ac-tually did put those federal funds in last year’s budget. Accounting for that, Re-publicans haven’t proposed an education increase after all. I would argue the vot-ers’ message was, “Watch spending but raise taxes where necessary.” Dayton and Tom Horner together received over 60 percent of the vote, and both said they would raise taxes. To reduce taxes for any-one at this time is just not a recipe for success. It is the message we have been hear-ing and following for more than 10 years, and overall taxes are the lowest they’ve been in the state since the early ’50s. Regulations have also been eased or deleted. If Wardlow’s tactics for gov-erning worked, we should be awash in jobs and have a booming economy. Sadly, that’s not the case. Middle-income taxpay-ers are carrying more than their share, and the pro-posed budget would only increase their property taxes. Adding a top tier to the income tax is more than fair. I would actually pro-pose three top tiers, affect-ing the top 5 percent. Cutting taxes is not the way to success here. History shows us that raising reve-nues to the point where you can rebuild our decimated reserves, meet inflation and fund needed projects will create jobs. Nobody wants a government shutdown, but what the Republicans pro-pose is not compromise. When Wendell Anderson was elected governor he did the unthinkable: He raised taxes and invested in Min-nesota’s education, infra-structure and people. The result was the “Minnesota Miracle,” and it lasted a very long time.

by Larry WernerTHISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

If you’ve spent any time commuting north on I-35 from south of Lakeville, you’ve probably seen the submarine. It sits up there on the hillside near a sign for “Hot Sam’s Antiques.” Word is that Gladys Hood, owner of Hot Sam’s, was offered $5,000 for that old sub years ago, but she decided it was worth more to her as a magnet for attracting motorists to her business that is as much theme park as antique shop. That submarine drew me years ago off I-35 onto the frontage road and into the swampy, wood-ed Hot Sam’s complex, where I got to meet one of the area’s true characters. I decided to share some thoughts about Gladys after

seeing her obituary in our paper last week. She died at 84 on Dec. 21, and her son, Bobby, placed a notice in the paper for a memorial service on Sun-day. If you’ve never been to

Hot Sam’s, you’ve missed an an-tique business unlike anything anywhere. If you never met Glad-ys, you’ll get a sense from her place how interesting she was. I wandered into Hot Sam’s one day while I was exploring the pos-sibility of going into the antique business. I had some space in a commercial building in down-town Lakeville, and I was looking for some mentoring. At the end of the long drive that ends at the log cabin where Gladys lived among thousands of collectibles she bought and sold, I

got more mentoring than I was seeking. A small woman with dark hair and a big smile told me to sit down, poured me a drink and told me her story. Actually, she read me her story from a Pioneer Press article that had been written about her – a retired race-car driver who got into antiques because she needed something to do while caring for her disabled ex-husband. That ex-husband died, but Gladys kept buying more an-tiques to sell out of the cluttered log cabin and old box cars and out buildings on the rolling, wooded 10-acre lot. Bobby, her son and business partner, wasn’t so much into old furniture and trinkets. He bought big things, like the 25-foot subma-

rine, old taxis, planes and a replica of the Statue of Liberty holding a globe light instead of a torch. After I arranged to take some of Gladys’s furni-ture for sale in my build-ing, my wife and I would stop by with our son, who

loved to roam the property and gawk at things you normally don’t see all in one place. I learned from Gladys that her business not only attracted an-tique lovers and families looking for a fun outing, but also theater groups that rent the oversize fur-niture and odd novelties as props for plays. When Gladys was there, she dominated the conversation with her stories about her career driv-ing race cars and her love of air shows. When she was gone to one

of those air shows in Red Wing or Oshkosh, Bobby would talk about his winter travels to places warm where he found biplanes and Donald Duck teeter-totters to bring home to Minnesota. Gladys is gone, but her eccen-tric personality lives on at the business her son will continue to operate. And if you’ve always wanted a submarine for the back-yard, maybe you can convince Bobby to part with it.

Eagan’s Labate hoping for good news at the NHL DraftHoly Angels, Eagan Athletic Association alum ranked in

the top 60 players

by Andy RogersTHISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

When Eagan’s Joe Labate leaves Xcel Energy Center this weekend he hopes to return to the venue soon as a member of an NHL team. Labate is expected to be selected in the second or third round of the NHL Entry Draft on Friday and Saturday at the St. Paul home of the Minnesota Wild. “I’m going to go with my family and friends,” Labate said. “We have seats in the lower bowl. It’s awesome having it in my hometown. Hopefully, we can celebrate something.” As leading scorer of Holy Angels and Mr. Hockey finalist last season, he was ranked No. 51 among North American Skaters by the Central Scouting on April 11. The 6-foot-4 center was invited to the NHL Scout-ing Combine, May 30-June 4 in To-ronto. “It was great to be there with the best players in the world,” Labate said. “I just enjoyed it and tried not to get intimidated.” The combine consisted of inter-views with teams along with physi-cal testing. At his first interview, with Chicago, he admitted he was nervous. “There were 14 guys in the room,” Labate said. “I shook everyone’s hand. Once you get one done, it was all a routine. I got to talk to a lot of hockey people about my game.” So what does he sell them? “I’m a big center,” Labate said. “I play with an edge and stick up for my teammates. I have a good, heavy shot and I move well for a big guy. I have good leadership qualities and work ethic. I would be a good addition for any team.” Labate plans to attend the Univer-sity of Wisconsin in the fall and play hockey. If he’s chosen on Friday or Saturday, the team will hold his rights until he graduates. He hopes this is just the middle of his hockey career. Labate has been on skates since he was 3 and honed his shooting skill while aiming at the ga-rage. “My garage is pretty beat up,” La-bate said. “One side there’s a lot of holes. It’s just torn apart.” He played with the Eagan Athletic Association until he was a Pee Wee, when he played with the Wisconsin Fire AAA club. “It started with the associations at a young age,” Labate said. “There are some good, young hockey coaches here. That’s why Minnesota has so many great hockey players.” He played three years with an elite league and had the opportunity to play with the Waterloo Black Hawks, but he decided to play with Holy Angels with his friends until gradua-tion. The first round of the NHL En-try Draft will start at 6 p.m. Friday and will be televised on Versus and TSN. Rounds 2-7 will be held Satur-day starting at 10 a.m. on the NHL Network. A limited number of gen-eral admission tickets are available through an online request form at wild.nhl.com/drafttickets.

An athlete for every season

by Andy RogersTHISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

With her freshman year behind her, Burns-ville’s Vivian Hett has become a veteran en-durance athlete in three sports at the varsity level. In a time when athletes specialize, Hett achieved a rare accomplishment when she qualified for the state track meet earlier this month. It was her third individual qualification for a state high school event during the 2010-11 school year. Hett ran in the 3200-meters at the Class AA state track and field meet June 10 placing 14th. She was also 78th at the state cross country meet in November and 11th at the state Nor-dic meet in February. “I never thought I had a secret, but I think it is more of a mental thing for me,” Hett said. “I train about the same. There really is no se-cret to me. I was just born to run I guess.” She likes to run and run long distances, but her favorite time of the year is when there’s too much snow to run comfortably. Her favorite of the three sports is Nordic skiing. She qualified for the Junior Olympic team in March. “I like endurance sports because I can go long distances,” she said. “I am able to keep up my pace throughout the whole race and not die out. I guess I am just naturally an endur-ance person.” This year wasn’t her first trip to state. She’s been running and skiing against seniors since she was in middle school. “It was a little intimidating at first, but I am comfortable with it now,” she said. Her only offseason is during the summer, but that’s filled with Minnesota Valley club ski team practices three times a week and high school cross country captain’s practice three

other days, leaving Sunday for rest. In the peak of cross country season she runs 30 to 40 miles a week running through two pairs of shoes a year — one for cross country and one for track. She didn’t pick up the idea of running 40 miles a week on her own. Her older sister and parents were runners in high school. “They told me to join for one year and see how it goes,” Hett said. “I loved it. Then, my older brother (Matt) also joined cross country and skiing, so it’s a big family thing for us.” If she wasn’t having any fun, she would be running every day. Endurance sports along with the life of a high school student leaves little free time. She wakes up, goes to school, goes to practice, eats dinner and then goes to bed. “But when I do have free time, my friends and I hang out,” Hett said. “I also hang out with my older sister a lot. We like to play and wrestle with my new puppy, Olive.” Many high school athletes focus their ef-forts on one sport. While running and skiing aren’t as different as other activities, it’s rare an athlete will compete in three state tournaments individually. This year, there were a few other athletes who made more than one appearance at state, such as some players who were on both the Lakeville South football and basketball teams. The south metro saw other cross country and track athletes advance to state this year, but qualifying in the distance events was strict at the 2011 state track meet. With all that competition in mind, Hett has the chance to qualify for state nine more times. She knows it won’t be easy, but she also has some goals to achieve. “The best would be to win the state Nordic championship,” she said.

An early-morning fire that damaged an Eagan home was likely caused by a lightning strike, officials said. The Eagan Fire Depart-ment was called to the scene at 4:45 a.m. by a neighbor who had seen flames on the roof of the home, located at 885 Curry Trail. The neighbor also alert-ed the home’s five occu-pants, two adults and three children, who escaped with-out injury. Responding firefighters encountered heavy fire in the attic of the home above the living and dining rooms. Crews were able to extin-guish the flames quickly, containing the damage to the attic area. The rest of the home suffered heavy water and smoke damage. According to the Eagan Fire Department, neigh-bors heard a loud burst of thunder about an hour be-fore the fire was reported. One neighbor described the noise as the loudest thunder he had ever heard. The home has extensive damage estimated at more than $100,000. The fire marshal is still investigating the cause, but all signs currently point to a lightning strike to the roof of the home, according to the department.

When Linda Foster start-ed planning the Teens eXpe-riencing Technical Educa-tion (TXT 2011) for girls in grades 5-8 this summer, she turned to the ultimate fo-cus group – her 10-year-old daughter. “I run all my ideas past her while I am planning,” Foster said. “She lets me know if it sounds fun and cool or not. So far she is ex-cited about what we have put together.” While the cool factor is there for TXT 2011 – a July 25-29 series of workshops at Dakota County Technical College – the smart factor isn’t too far behind. Planned in conjunction

with the Laura Jeffery Acad-emy, a charter school in St. Paul, TXT 2011 will allow girls to explore what techni-cal education has to offer. Hands-on sessions are planned in design, business, health, science, transporta-tion, industry and technol-ogy. “We want them to experi-ence our programs and get excited about career pos-sibilities – especially things they may not have been ex-posed to before,” said Foster, instructional technology di-rector at the college. “I want them to go home each day saying ‘Guess what we did today? It was so cool.’ ” Foster says she wants the program’s projected 200 participants to return to

their schools this fall and be able to tell their classmates that they had a workshop in welding, explored nanocrys-tals, built a working com-puter or worked on a heavy-duty truck. “I think it is important to show kids and girls that they have a world of options when it comes to education and careers,” she said. Through the workshops, girls can learn how to use computers for architectural design, biomedical equip-ment and the high-powered microscopes used in one of the few two-year nano-technology programs in the country. Foster said she hopes the program will help the girls realize that the technical

college, in addition to of-fering education to prepare students for employment, also has general education courses in English, philoso-phy and history. “Many students start their education here and transfer on to complete their bachelor’s degree,” Foster said. “Our students are our best promotional tools we have. Our students are well-trained for employment op-portunities in our communi-ties and beyond.” Tad Johnson is at [email protected].

What I did during my summer vacation …Girls can learn tricks of the welding, auto mechanics, nanotechnology trades through college’s workshops

Teens eXperiencing Technical Education courses run from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. July 25-29. The cost for the program is $25. The deadline to register is July 1. For more information about TXT 2011, contact Foster at (651) 423-8439, [email protected], or go online to www.dctc.edu/go/txt.

IN BRIEF

Shaquen Perril Whitfield was sen-tenced June 16 to 17 years in prison in connection with a break-in, brutal beating and ar-son at a Burnsville townhome on May 11, 2008. Whitfield, 21, of Prior Lake, pleaded guilty in June 2009 to first-degree attempted murder, first-degree arson and first-de-gree burglary. The attack occurred on Knox Drive, where hom-eowner Paul Traub, then 52, had left his garage door open overnight. The defen-dants entered through the open door. During the break-in, Traub was stabbed in the head and the back 17 times and left for dead. The perpetrators then started several fires in the home to conceal evidence of the crime. Traub es-

caped through his burning house to a neighbor’s house. Co-defendant Ir-vin Scott Cook, 20, of Prior Lake, has already been sentenced to 29 and a half years in prison. He was

convicted last May of aid-ing and abetting the fol-lowing crimes: attempted first-degree murder, at-tempted second-degree murder, first-degree arson, first-degree burglary and motor vehicle use without consent. “This was a horrific crime in the likes of which we seldom see in our com-munity,” Dakota County James Backstrom said in a news release. “We are thankful that the victim survived this violent attack and we are pleased to have brought the two individu-als responsible to justice.”

Of all his film and TV roles, actor Erik Jensen says his favorite was playing Thur-man Munson in the 2007 ESPN miniseries “The Bronx is Burning.” Portraying the burly All-Star Yankees catcher definite-ly had its perks. “I got to gain 30 pounds for the part – I got to eat six meals a day and drink three beers a night,” he said. “Then I got to play baseball for three months.” Another bonus of being cast in the eight-episode series about the ’77 Yankees was that it put Jensen in front of the camera with A-list actors such as Oliver Platt and John Turturro. He likened working with Turturro, who played Yan-kees manager Billy Martin, to being in the presence of a Rembrandt painting. “He’s a master. You watch him work and you’re like, ‘Wow, he’s really good,’” said Jensen, a 1988 graduate of Apple Valley High School who now lives and works in New York City. Jensen will be returning to his former hometown next month to teach a two-day act-ing camp July 16-17 at Heart-beat Studios in Apple Valley. An actor whose film cred-its include the 2001 Martin Lawrence comedy “Black Knight” and “Book of Shad-ows: Blair Witch II,” Jensen said he first caught the acting bug as a student at Apple Val-ley High School. “The middle school I’d been at in Minneapolis didn’t even have a theater,” Jensen said. “When I got to Apple Valley there was this tremen-dous energy in the theater and music departments. Not only were we acting in shows and filling the theater every per-formance, we were participat-ing in an artistic community that we were told mattered.”

And it was instructors such as Deborah Lysholm, currently the director/owner of Heartbeat Studios, who helped him cut his teeth as a performer. Lysholm choreo-graphed the high school’s an-nual “Broadway” music and dance review in which Jensen appeared in 1986. “He was just a very funny, very genuine, very talented student,” Lysholm said. “I could see back then that he could have a career with it.” Jensen, who said he acted “in pretty much every play” at the high school from 1986 to 1988, decided to pursue his dream of becoming a profes-sional actor and enrolled at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh as an acting ma-jor.

He described his theater education at Carnegie Mel-lon as rigorous – full of “all-encompassing, 17-hour days, especially the first few years when you’re expected to work on (production) crews.” Among his classmates at the school was Ethan Hawke. “He took a leave of ab-sence to do this film called ‘Dead Poets Society,’ ” Jensen said. “I ran into him and told him, ‘I’m happy for you, but that’s a pretty dumb name for a movie.’ ” His career, like that of any actor, has had its ups and downs, he said. There have been the ap-pearances on network TV shows such as “CSI” and “Law and Order,” a host of off-Broadway acting parts

Actor’s path to silver screen started on Apple Valley stage

Erik Jensen returns to hometown to teach acting camp at Heartbeat Studios

Apple Valley High School graduate Erik Jensen now lives and works in New York City as an actor and writer. He’s appearing in an upcoming episode of the sitcom “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” and is working to have his graphic novel “The Reconcilers” adapted into a Hollywood film.

TV and film actor Erik Jensen will teach a two-day acting camp July 16-17 at Heartbeat Studios in Ap-ple Valley. Separate classes are offered for beginning child actors and for pre-teen through adult actors. To register or for more information, visit www.heartbeat-studios.com, call (952) 432-7833, or stop by the studio at 7661 145th St. W.

IN BRIEF

and the 20-some film credits. He’s also found success as a writer – his play “The Exon-erated,” co-written with wife Jessica Blank, ran off-Broad-way for two years and starred Richard Dreyfuss and Susan Sarandon. But he admits there’s also a good deal of drudgery in-volved in his chosen career path. “There are these gap-ing periods of two to three months where you don’t have work,” he said. “My job has been basically to go out and job interview every day of my life. You get one out of 20 of ’em.” One objective of the Heart-beat Studios acting camp, Jensen said, is to give students some idea of what might lie in store if they decide to follow in his footsteps. “I want them and their parents to know that decid-ing to do this doesn’t mean you’re going to be a waiter for the rest of your life,” he said. “There’s lots of avenues you can go down.”

by John GessnerTHISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Alberta Gelineau has been working and waiting for this moment. The 67-year-old Farm-ington resident longed to open a store full of new and used furnishings, antiques and collectibles. She’s been stockpiling inventory for several years. But as a certified public ac-countant and paralegal who has also owned rental prop-erties and tried law school in recent years, Gelineau never quite found the right moment. Until now. Her store, Angels Unlimited in Burns-ville, is in the midst of a two-month grand open-ing that began in May. The

showroom, which includes Gelineau’s accounting and tax-preparation office, is at 1301 E. Cliff Road, Suite 19, in the Park Place Busi-ness Condominiums and Storage. “I was trying” to launch the business, Gelineau said. “But there were other things. My family was more important at the time, and school. I was trying to do it all – that’s my weakness. “Now I’m organized and managing properly, and we’re going. And it’s won-derful to get up in the morn-ing and go to the office.” Professionally, the Duluth native said she spe-cializes in small-business accounting and tax prepa-ration.

“I get a natural high from doing your taxes,” Ge-lineau said. “It’s energizing. It’s dating me, but I actually have 45 years’ experience.” Personally, Gelineau was a big fan of Hagen’s Furni-

ture and Antiques – a former mainstay of the Valley Ridge Shopping Center in Burnsville, which is set to be redevel-oped. Gelineau said she once worked briefly for owner Shirley Hagen and had hoped to buy the store, but the sale didn’t come together. “I love everything that she did,” Gelin-

eau said. “My big purchase (of merchandise) in the be-ginning was going to Rose Galleries with Mrs. Hagen. Shirley taught me how to bid at Rose Galleries.” Angels Unlimited’s of-

ferings include new and slightly used furniture, bed-room suites for children and adults, art, crystal, dolls, quilts, gift items and hand-tied silk and wool rugs from China. “I have some antique furniture,” Gelineau said. “I specialize in French and Queen Anne.” Angels Unlimited also carries framed and un-framed works of wildlife artist Les Kouba and his daughter, portrait artist Pa-mela Kouba Kausel. Gelineau said she’s ap-plying for nonprofit status for Angels Unlimited and will donate 10 percent of sales to organizations such as World Vision and the mission arm of Christian

Life church and school in Farmington. The name “Angels Un-limited” is a tribute to her mother and aunt, Gelineau said. “My aunt was my men-tor and my mother was a wonderful mother,” she said. “They were my men-tors because my father was killed when I was not quite 4 years old.” Angels Unlimited is open to the public Monday, Wednesday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eve-ning showcases are available by appointment. Call (651) 463-1040.

Apple Valley’s “Plant-Grow-Prosper” publicity video was recently honored with a 2011 Telly Award, which are given to recognize excellence in local, regional and cable TV commercials. The video produced by Plymouth-based Studio 120 highlights the city’s economic environment and features short interview segments with city officials, business leaders and residents. Above: The Telly statue was presented to Chamber of Commerce President Ed Kearney, left; Mayor Mary Hamann-Roland and Studio 120 executive producer Mitch Waters at the June 9 City Council meeting. The award-winning video can be viewed at www.cityofapplevalley.org.

“We are keeping old cus-tomers and gaining new customers and getting to know them,” Joelle said. “We strive to get to know all of our customers by learn-ing their names and faces.” Despite the new bar, TOPS Restaurant & Bar still wants to maintain its family-friendly atmosphere. “Family is very impor-tant and that always comes first,” Joelle said. The expansion also re-quired the family to double its staff. It added servers, bar tenders, deliverers and

kitchen staff. The restau-rant now employees 12 part-time employee, and the Chouliarises typically work 12 hour days, six or seven days a week. The elder Chouliarises are hoping to cut back their hours in the near future to be able to spend more time with family, but their hearts are in the business, so they don’t plan to go too far. They recently became grandparents and hope that the next generation will have an interest in the fam-ily business as well. “We are still young and have a lot of energy,” said

Joelle of her and Steve. The couple love running the family business and plan to be there for a long time.

Stacey Ackerman is a free-lance writer from Lakeville.

TOPS Restaurant & Bar is located at 14533 Dodd Blvd., Rosemount. For more information, go online at www.top-spizzaandhoagies.com. The phone number is (651) 423-7331.

IN BRIEFTOPS/from 1A

And the Telly goes to ...

Two District 196 stu-dents won national titles and teams from Eagan and Eastview high schools both earned School of Excel-lence Awards at this year’s National Forensic League Speech and Debate Tour-nament held June 13-18 in Dallas. Nader Helmy of Apple Valley High School took first place in original ora-tory. As national champion, Helmy received $7,500 in scholarships and the Presi-dent’s Bowl for having the top scores in the final round of competition. Eagan’s Garrett Lukin

finished first in prose and received $1,500 in scholar-ships. Two other District 196 students advanced to the final round of competition in their category: Ashesh Rambachan of Eastview High School, who finished national runner-up in inter-national extemporaneous speaking, and James Gage of Eagan High School, who took sixth in humor-ous interpretation. John Granlund of Apple Valley also placed sixth in Lincoln-Douglas debate. Five others advanced to the semifinal round: Kyra

Stephenson and Leah Nor-man of Eagan, ninth place in policy debate; Justin Wirsbinski of Eagan, 10th in dramatic interpretation; Luke Stuttgen of Apple Valley, tied for 11th in Lin-coln-Douglas debate, and Thomas Dyke of Eagan, 13th in original oratory. As teams, Eagan and Eastview were two of only eight high schools in the na-tion to earn a School of Ex-cellence Award in all events. Eagan also earned School of Excellence Awards in both speech and debate, and Eastview earned a School of Excellence Award in speech.

state law, and provide as many services as possible without imposing on tax-payers, Smith said. Under Gov. Dayton’s proposal, corrections and human services depart-ments will remain open and provide most of their ser-vices. Although cash, food and housing assistance will continue to be distributed to low-income families, thousands of cash-strapped parents may be financially

burdened by the shut down. Dayton’s plan does not provide child care subsi-dies for low-income families – assistance that approxi-mately 1,267 Dakota Coun-ty families rely on. Organizations that pro-vide safe havens for domes-tic abuse victims will also be left out in the cold. 360 Communities – which relies on state fund-ing for its two shelters for women and children who are domestic abuse victims – will probably never see this year’s grant money,

said Mary Ajax, president and CEO of the Burnsville nonprofit. Yet 360 is determined to keep at least one of its shel-ters open. “This is life and death. Women die in abusive re-lationships,” she said. “We are their safety net and are trying to keep those critical services open.” Meanwhile, vocational colleges such as Dakota County Technical College will remain open along with state universities. Whether public transit

will continue to operate re-mains unclear. Legislators remain di-vided on the governor’s proposal. Some would like to see more services shut down, others would like to see fewer. Ultimately, the courts will decide. Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson and several legislators have filed separate appeals in separate courts. E-mail Jessica Harper at: [email protected]

“16 Heads and Counting,” hasn’t limited himself to gore-drenched slasher flicks as he works toward his goal of a Hollywood film career. Last year, he was cast in the Christian family drama “Lightning Strikes Twice,” which is currently in post-production, and he marks an uncredited part in the Oscar-nominated Coen brothers film “A Serious

Man” as a minor coup in his acting career. As for the specifics of his potentially grisly, shriek-laden fate in “Girl Scout Cookies,” mum’s the word, at least until the film is re-leased. “I wish I could tell you, but that would ruin the sur-prise,” he said. Andrew Miller is at [email protected].

Rosemount’s Lighthouse Christian Church has found a fun way to connect local residents to a serious issue in East Africa. When people are toss-ing water-filled balloons in the direction of competitors during this year’s July 26 Bathtub Races, they will be contributing funds to build a water well for a community in need. “It went really well last year,” said event organizer Sara Ball. “People under-stood that we were raising money to help, especially the African kids. People reacted very well to it.” The church helped benefit Water 4 Kids International – a Phoenix, Ariz.-based non-profit that raises money and organizes work groups to build wells in Africa – with last year’s event. The 2010 Bathtub Races raised about $2,000, accord-ing to Ball. It costs about $10,000 to build a well that can serve between 3,000 and 11,000 people. In recent years, some Lighthouse members have traveled to Africa to help in-stall a well.

One key aspect of the lo-cal event’s success was the volunteer help. Ball said about 100 people from the church volunteered to fill and sell balloons, hand out infor-mation about Water 4 Kids and clean up after the event. “The volunteers are pas-sionate about what they are doing,” she said. “That makes your job easier when people are happy to be there. “We know that we are the hands of Christ,” she said. “People here are generous with their commitment of time and energy and we have fun with it.” She said some people were so impressed by the cause that they gave additional do-nations on top of the fund-raising activities. The races raise money by people buying balloons to lob at the three-person teams that will compete by pulling a bathtub through a timed ob-stacle course. Five balloons cost $1. People should not bring their own water balloons as organizers plan to fill about 8,000. Teams may enter in three categories – Business/Cor-porate, Adult Residents and Youth Residents. The winner

in the Business/Corporate category will win a traveling trophy and waived entry fees in 2012. The cost for entering the respective categories is $50, $15, and $10. Corporate teams need to preregister by going to the website www.worldwidelight-house.com. Team are encouraged to dress in a theme and wear clothing that is modest and appropriate to the family event. Cash prizes to the win-ning teams are: Adult: first, $120; second, $60; Youth: first, $60; second, $30. Youth and adult teams must register for the limited spots from 5-5:45 p.m. on a first-come, first-served basis. Competitors can bring their own helmets (face shield encouraged) and life jackets to ensure a good fit. If not, the equipment will be provided. More information about those events is at www.world-widelighthouse.com. To register for the Bathtub Races, e-mail Ball at [email protected].
