Eleven-year-old Nathan Grater was focused as he approached the lane at Ce-darvale Bowling on Sunday evening . he grinned and clapped as the ball struck the pins – a spare . At a glance, it seems like a typical night at the Eagan bowling alley, but for the handful of children playing that night, it’s much more . It’s a moment to feel includ-ed . Grater and his teammates are part of Eagan Parks and Recreation’s adaptive recreation program, which provides sports for children with disabilities . The noncompetitive pro-gram offers a variety of

activities such as bowling, basketball, fishing and yoga and is open to children who have all kinds of disabilities . “Our goal is to work with youth and help them develop self-esteem, social skills and motor skills while participating in a sports en-vironment,” said kerry Phil-lips, Eagan recreation super-visor . helping children build these skills is the job of Mark Meinhardt, who has coached adaptive sports for the past four years . “It’s a lot of fun work-ing with these kids,” he said . “They will surprise you .” About 25 to 30 children participate in the program

Calling it dated may be kind . Burnsville’s longtime city logo, a representation of water and trees, is in for an update . The city plans to keep the green trees and blue water but in a new design that will eventually grace a variety of city property, from its website and printed materials to park signs and city vehicles . The new logo will also appear on a series of entrance monument signs the city plans to install along major thoroughfares in coming years . The entrance sign project and the need to replace a number of ag-ing park signs prompted the review . The logo comes from a 1976 flag-design contest the Burnsville

Jaycees held as part of the city’s u .S . Bicentennial celebration . The city adopted the logo in the early 1980s . “To be honest, the logo is a little visually outdated,” sporting “that ’70s look and feel,” Communica-tions Coordinator Marty Doll said at a July 10 City Council work ses-sion . The work session became a de-sign charrette as council members mulled options for the logo and city entrance signs . They rejected one of three logo designs developed by Greg Preslic-ka, a graphic artist in Savage . It has a Christmas-tree look . But council members kept two under consideration, asking for

test drive for our produc-tion speed,” Whipple said. Since then they’ve brought Smoothie Cycle to Antlers Park Beach in Lakeville and to Lakev-ille’s Main Street for the Pan-O-Prog festival that wrapped up last week-end. Smoothie Cycle has a standing engagement Satur-days from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Northeast Minne-apolis Farmers Market, and will visit the Burnsville Fire Muster in September. The partners know a good idea when they see it and have yet to breed imita-tors, in the Twin Cities, any-way. Smoothie Cycle ped-dles the only pedal-powered smoothie in town, accord-ing to Whipple. “It’s a popular concept in England and in Austra-lia,” said the 41-year-old married mother of two chil-dren, ages 7 and 11. “I actu-ally saw it for the first time in England when I was there traveling abroad for busi-ness. We decided we could bring it here. “The bike blenders them-selves actually come from a place in Berkeley called Rock the Bike. They started by making pedal-powered speaker amps for rock con-certs. They make all kinds of pedal-powered things now, blenders being one of them.” The women cemented their partnership at a neigh-borhood happy hour, said Huntsinger, a stay-home mom with an accounting background. “I just want to keep it fun, and I’m fine with stay-ing small,” said the married mother of two children, ages 8 and 9. “Mainly I feel like our best venue so far has been the farmers market. That draws people that are looking for healthy products.” The smoothie cycles are stationary bikes — both kid-sized and adult-sized — with blenders powered by friction from the rear tire. It takes only about 30 seconds to mix a smoothie, Whipple said. Customers are free to do it themselves or leave the work to the pro-prietors. “You don’t have to be an athlete to pedal a smooth-ie,” said Whipple, senior

vice president of marketing for UnitedHealth Group’s Optum division. “We use no electricity,” said Huntsinger, who does most of the accounting and a lot of the logistical work, including securing needed licenses. “We don’t plug in. A lot of these other vendors have to have generators and plug in. We don’t have to plug in anywhere. We work out of coolers.” The coolers are stocked with all-natural yogurt, fro-zen fruit and juice. “And we’re careful to use products that don’t have preservatives or high-fruc-tose corn syrup or any addi-tives,” said Whipple, who’s occupationally aware of the childhood-obesity prob-lem and hopes to engage children in making healthy choices.

The smoothies come in strawberry, strawberry ba-nana, tropical blend and mixed berry. With the re-cent heat the partners have added a strawberry lemon-ade flavor, Huntsinger said. “We had to deviate from our 100 percent juice” prac-tice, she admitted. “We had to use lemonade. But we were buying the high-qual-ity version, with real sugar.” Whipple said she and Huntsinger are “well on our way” to turning a profit by the end of summer. Information and up-coming engagements are on Facebook at www.Face-book.com/smoothiecycle.

the child down in a crib for a nap at around 3:30 p.m. that day, but she allegedly changed her story several times, according to the complaint. In one version, she said there was a blanket in the crib with the boy and in an-other she said there wasn’t a blanket. In other stories, Greenagel allegedly told police she laid Ableidinger on a blanket on the floor. Her stories were also alleg-edly inconsistent on wheth-er she laid the boy on his stomach or his back.

State child care licensing regulations require provid-ers to lay infants on their backs in a crib that is free of loose blankets and pil-lows to prevent incidences of sudden infant death syn-drome. Police spoke with a 12-year-old girl at the home who said Greenagel placed the boy on a blanket on the floor and that Greenagel told her to tell police he was in a crib. In the bedroom where Ableidinger was found, of-ficers discovered a blanket that had a blood stain pat-tern that resembled nostrils

and a mouth. They also noticed simi-lar stains on a shirt Greena-gel wore that day. Both items were ana-lyzed by the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, which determined the stains were Ableidinger’s blood. Greenagel allegedly ad-mitted to moving the blan-ket from a crib where police initially saw it and placing it in a closet. Greenagel has operated a licensed in-home day care since 1976 and was licensed to care for 12 children without assistance, but the

GreenaGel, from 1A facility had 20 children at the time, according to the complaint. Her child care license was suspended immedi-ately after Ableidinger’s death and later revoked by Dakota County, which Greenagel is challenging in civil court. Greenagel had been advised several times by county licensing workers to change her sleeping ar-rangements for children in her care, according to court records. In 1999, she was advised in a letter from Dakota County that infants must sleep in a crib or a wooden portacrib, and in 2002 she was reminded by county

workers to remove pillows from infant cribs. A county worker also re-ported in 2007 that Green-agel placed an infant on the floor for a nap, which violates licensing require-ments. The Dakota County medical examiner sent a sample of Ableidinger’s blood for genetic testing to the Minnesota Genetic Ar-rhythmia Center to deter-mine whether his death was caused by a genetic disease. The tests were negative for any illness or disease, ac-cording to the complaint. Given the absence of disease and the fact the child was placed face down on a blanket, the medical

examiner concluded that Ableidinger’s death was “probable positional as-phyxia.” Greenagel made her first court appearance on July 11, and bail of $75,000 was set by Dakota County Dis-trict Judge Jerome Abrams. Her next court appear-ance is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. July 30 in Hastings. If convicted, Greenagel could face up to 10 years in prison for each manslaugh-ter count, and up to a year in prison for each gross misdemeanor count.



Behind the Badge worth your timeTo the editor: Recently, I had the op-portunity to attend the Be-hind the Badge workshop at Burnsville City Hall. It was a very informative and relaxing way to spend a day. The program is designed to inform senior citizens about some of the pitfalls of modern technology and the dangers of some actions we may take. We observed the methods used in keeping us safe and how they detect clues to help solve crimes committed against us. We were warned of the dangers of sharing too much information over the phone or the Internet and the schemes we must avoid. We learned invaluable in-formation on measures we can take in our homes. Spe-cial emphasis was given in the safe disposal of lighted cigarettes. Many fires have started here in Burnsville when people think they can put a lit cigarette into a pot with potting soil. Bad idea. This is the worst place to put a lit cigarette. Sooner or later, the potting soil, which has some paper content, will ignite and can then do a lot of damage. Officer Ben Archambault with his dog, Echo, and Of-ficer Brian Hasselmann with his dog, Razor, demon-strated a drug search when the dogs found a “stash” of drugs in the room. We also saw how these dogs can pur-sue and disable a suspect in his tracks. We were invited to tour the mobile crime lab which is a truck maintained by the Burnsville Police Depart-ment and available to other Dakota County Law En-forcement departments un-der a grant from the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. Burnsville may not have

the sophisticated equip-ment we see on television crime shows, but our dedi-cated police and fire depart-ment personnel can do a commendable job with the equipment they have or for more detailed analysis send it to St. Paul. The city of Burnsville offers this workshop every spring, so, if I have tweaked your interest, keep watching in the paper or the brochure sent out by the city to keep apprised of events and dates and sign up, as reservations are required. It is well worth your time.

Health care as a basic human need; Minnesota can do betterTo the editor: Former Sen. Dave Du-renberger’s guest column about prospects for the Af-fordable Care Act, was in-teresting, thought-provok-ing and timely. Those who thought the Supreme Court would strike down the law have had a dose of reality. And a tell-ing statistic, as Durenberger notes, is that “The new law expands insured coverage to 30-32 million uninsured.” This represents a reduction of uninsured people by 67 percent. Soon, the law, most of which goes into effect in 2014, eliminates the major reason for bankruptcies in our country – for these 30 million people. This is no small factor, as was noted in the startling impact of pov-erty in the previous week’s issue. For us to beat poverty, and strengthen the middle class, we must answer ba-sic needs like health care. Further, businesses see the prospect of improvement in

their bottom lines, once ma-jor challenges are handled, such as our country’s health care needs. However, in Minnesota, our health care needs are still unmet as 250,000 Min-nesotans will still be left out, even with the ACA. A whole different future opens up when a hard-working fam-ily, who sees static or falling wages, can count on some stability in their health and family finances. Let’s hope that the next step is a single-payer health care system for Minne-sota because it will cost less, it covers more, and you choose your physician: http://muhcc.org. Our willingness as a country to establish the nec-essary elements of an econ-omy that works well for citi-zens can make the difference we all need for prosperity.

Kline is an ideal representativeTo the editor: Just what manner of man is this who sees him-self as perfect in all things? I note that a person from Minneapolis, who is largely unknown, has filed to run in a primary against a very honorable congressman, John Kline. This is to occur despite Kline’s increasing popularity and the unani-mous endorsement that he received at the Republican Convention. Is it possible that someone believes that elected officials can please all of the people all of the time? The myth that some-one can please everyone is quickly shattered when elected officials must vote on bills laden with riders that often contain oppos-ing philosophies. Is this no-tion that an elected official

can or should please all, not the dreams of the quix-otic, the foolish, and the uninformed? This unelected challenger surely is all of the above? When Kline’s voting re-cords are examined, we find that he is our ideal repre-sentative. Kline’s successful fight to remove pork from all legislative acts has made him most respected by his peers as well as citizens. Likewise, his efforts at re-ducing worthless but oner-ous regulations as well as taxes have been invaluable at saving jobs and small businesses. These measures have succeeded despite the costly attempts of the oppo-nents of good government to thwart his attempts. If a candidate thinks that he can please all of the peo-ple all of the time, he might first check his assumed pop-ularity with his relatives and then re-examine reality.

RICHARD IFFERTEagan

Benefiting from Daley’s work To the editor: While we’re still unrav-eling everything that was done, or not done, during the last legislative session, we are already hearing calls for the state to hire more people to help cope with the economic slowdown. And to pay for these added em-ployees we again hear the call for new taxes. Thank-fully, the Republican ma-jorities were able to shoot down plans for tax hikes in the last session and we are already seeing the benefits. We now have a balanced budget, and we can start to pay down the debt the state has. Sen. Ted Daley, R-Ea-gan, is committed to stand-ing fast and holding the line on taxes. He deserves the support of all who want to see a strong Minnesota economy that will benefit everyone.

FRAN LAuFLEEagan

Relationship does not equal marriage To the editor: Your Sun Thisweek of July 6 had some letters to the editor that spiked com-ment in me. The “other side of the coin” so to speak. I don’t know how anyone can get so mixed up in their thinking over the proposed marriage amendment. I keep reading Veda Kanitz’s letter and think she should do more research on the real issue. Her letter states that Sherry and Barb are two beautiful “children of the universe” in a beautifully committed relationship, but I say that is what it is. It’s a relationship, but not a mar-riage.

The proposed amend-ment doesn’t try to change their personal life or their personal choices or desires, so what’s the big fuss? The amendment shouldn’t and doesn’t bother their routine at all. They had and have the freedom to choose their way of life and good luck to them. Our society has a whole gamut of unions, contracts, legal papers for property ownership, financial, etc., and that’s a choice to pick a partner but that doesn’t constitute a marriage. Call it a union or a relationship or whatever you choose, but it’s not a marriage. Kanitz should keep lov-ing Sherry and Barb and keep researching the pro-posed amendment.

ELIZABETH SCHREINERLakeville

Tell your story To the editor: There are letters in the paper every week, arguing for one position or another on the proposed amend-ment to the Minnesota con-stitution that would limit the freedom to marry to opposite gender couples. I know and love many gay and lesbian people whom this amendment would re-ally hurt. But I’m not going to pose an abstract argu-ment to try to convince you to vote one way or another. That’s because my friends are humans, and as such, they are made in God’s im-age. They are not abstract ideas. Each is God’s cre-ation and is worthy of re-spect. Here’s what I propose: Between now and Election Day, have conversations with people about this pro-posed amendment. Tell your story and listen to oth-ers. Seek to understand; ask questions. Try hard not to let your “inner pundit” out. When we do that, some-thing new is created: com-munity, compassion, deep relationship. Our democ-racy is strengthened. It’s easy to spout off opinions and demonize those we dis-agree with. To tell stories and really listen to others is a courageous, counter-cultural thing. And perhaps the only way the world can be changed.

DEB STEHLIN Lakeville

Vote them out of office To the editor: What has Republican state Sen. Ted Daley, Rep. Doug Wardlow, Rep. Diane Anderson and u.S. Rep. John Kline smiling and pumping their fists in the air in celebration? They smile when they vote against marriage in-equalilty. They smile when they can surpress the vote for 18

year olds, people just be-coming citizens, college stu-dents and senior citizens. They smile when they know that property taxes will be raised on the middle and lower income earners. They smile when they know that they will be re-ceiving loads of money, like Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, to try to retain their seats. They smile when they know homeless shelters are shutting down. They smile knowing unions are being attacked (even though Doug Ward-low’s father, Lynn, was a teacher who received union pay and benefits). They smile knowing that women’s rights are being taken away but not men’s. Women can be placed in jail for taking care of herself but nothing can happen to men. How fair is that? Do you know what would put a frown on their face - voting them all out of office and electing the following: Jim Carlson for state senator, Laurie Halvorson and Sandra Ma-sin for state representatives, and Mike Obermueller for Congress. DFL we care and we are there.

JuLIE SWANSONEagan

Enough of this poopTo the editor: We live on a corner lot in Burnsville and pay extra on our water bill for street lights and snow removal on the sidewalk, so that the dog owners can walk their dogs. It’s a shame these indi-viduals walk their dogs so they can defecate on some-one else’s grass and not their own. Yesterday one even pooped at the end of our driveway, where my wife had to clean it up before she even went to work. Guess what, this is be-cause of one of those dog owners who never carry a bag and are just too good or too lazy to pick up their dog’s poop. Guess what, we know who you are and shame on all of you – you should not expect us to clean up after your dogs. You are a public nuisance and abusing your neighbors. It’s about time our Burnsville law enforcement officers start asking dog walkers to see their used or unused bag and start en-forcement. Better yet raise the price of dog licenses and use the proceeds to hire someone to clean up the dog poop on the boulevards and people’s front yards left by the dog walkers. If we wanted to clean up dog poop, we would have a dog of our own. TOM GOYETTEBurnsville

Opinion360 Communities: Growing hope, support in Dakota County

by Sal Mondelli SPECIAL TO SuN THISWEEK

Since joining 360 Communities, I have spent the majority of my time meeting with members of the community, volunteers, funders, and governmental agencies. The message has been consistent: You do great work, your employees and volunteers are fully committed to the mission, but since you changed your name, I’m not sure what it is you really do or where you are headed. Let me offer my thoughts on those subjects. Our organization continues to provide hope and support to people by engaging communities to prevent violence, ensure school success and promote long term self-sufficiency. We assist more than 15,000 in-dividuals and families in any given year by operating 11 programs in over 40 locations in Dakota County. This includes five food shelves, two women’s shelters, and school success programs that focus on early child-hood reading. I believe 360 Communities has a tre-mendous opportunity for growth. Some of our programs address thousands of people, others less than 100. Our goal will be to ex-pand the reach of our programs that are having the greatest impact and to identify

potential partnerships that will extend our reach in others. In the months before my arrival, 360 Communities staff initiated a strategic assessment examining who we serve and where our work fits in the larger Dakota County community. This will help us gain insight for both the near and longer terms. We will finish that effort in the next few months. 360 Communities cannot and should not try to be everything to everyone. Do not look for us to expand with more pro-grams until we have agreed that we are do-ing everything to grow programs with the highest impact and the largest need. While we already make a positive differ-ence in thousands of lives every year, there is still much unmet need, which means there is an opportunity for growth. For ex-

ample, one school district currently has 28 percent of the K-3 population (about 1,200 students) not meeting reading proficiency levels. With current funding we are work-ing with 7 percent (about 300 students) with great reviews from the teachers, and improvements from the students. That means we are only addressing 25 percent of the total that we could with additional funding. We can have an even greater im-pact there, so it makes sense to do that first before starting something new.Growth through innovation 360 Communities recently helped fa-cilitate the Redesigning MN workshop that included more than two dozen community members representing multiple constitu-ents in Dakota County. The purpose of the project is to address how the delivery of public and social services needs to be restructured in light of reduced tax reve-nues. This is being precipitated by the large number of “baby boomer” retirements. In short, the current model is unsustainable, and even with massive budget cuts, will not be able to meet the needs of the public. I was fortunate to take part in these di-verse discussion groups and hear the vari-ety of perspectives on the future of Dakota

County. The event was filmed by TPT and is scheduled to air on Aug. 17. I hope you will watch. The Redesigning MN project aligns well with our convening work underway in Burnsville, Eagan, Lakeville and Rose-mount. Community leaders from across sectors are participating in these efforts to look at challenges in their communities and invent new solutions. My first few weeks at 360 Communities have reinforced what I am hearing from stakeholders – we are an organization that makes a difference. Please know that we will continue to move forward with this im-portant work, while keeping an eye on cre-atively addressing the demographic shifts in our communities. As we move forward, growing this organization will require part-nerships, innovation, efficiency and care. We can and need to do this together.

After a subdued opening last weekend, a new swap meet in Burnsville is likely to get a fuller complement of vendors this weekend. it appears that Stop, Swap and Shop (The Mar-ketplace) at Buck hill will get a temporary reprieve from a city licensing provi-sion that prompted many vendors to pull out of open-ing weekend. The provision requires all vendors at the meet to obtain transient merchant licenses, which carry a $50 application fee and police background checks. The meet’s owners, Vaughn and Jennifer wal-lace of Lakeville, and some Burnsville City Council members had thought when the council approved the meet in May that only some secondhand-goods resell-ers would need individual permits separate from the meet’s permit. They thought only re-sellers dealing in reportable goods that the city tracks for theft — such as jewelry, precious metals and elec-tronics — needed separate resellers’ licenses. in fact, city ordinance requires transient merchant

licenses for all the vendors. why should a grandma selling self-made beaded jewelry need a license and a police background check? Council Member Dan Gus-tafson asked at a July 10 work session. Council Member Dan kealey said he also thought only resellers dealing in re-portable items would need separate licenses. Council members quick-ly agreed to relax the or-dinance requiring all the vendors to have individual permits. A vote is expected at next Tuesday’s council meeting. But that leaves this week-end. Officials said they’ll try, within the confines of the law, to accommo-date the swap meet by not enforcing the ordinance. City Attorney Joel Jamnik

wasn’t at the work session and couldn’t be reached by phone when city staffers called. Gustafson, who has been vocal about correcting the license issue, said the swap meet’s opening weekend drew only nine of the 40 vendors originally regis-tered. The ordinance may re-quire transient merchant licenses for longstanding events whose vendors have never obtained them. They include junk markets at the Touch of home consign-ment store and art sales at the Art and All That Jazz Festival, Community De-velopment Director Jenni Faulkner said.

The Burnsville mayor and City Council members will go without a raise next year. They agreed at a July 10 work session to keep their salaries at levels set in 2007, the last time Burnsville’s elected officials voted them-selves an increase in base pay. Council members added a stipend of $35 for certain “extra” meetings, payable beginning in 2009, but re-moved the stipend from their

salaries in 2011. “we haven’t had a raise in a long time, but that’s Ok,” Mayor elizabeth kautz said. “That’s not why we do this job.” The mayor is paid $1,000 a month and council mem-bers $700 — “pretty close to the middle of the pack” among comparable metro-area cities, said heather Johnston, Burnsville’s chief financial officer. “it looks like other cit-ies have given themselves a raise, because we’re behind

the average now” compared with nine other similar cities, Council Member Dan ke-aley said. Council members are also eligible to participate in the city’s health and dental plans and receive the same health insurance contribution as part-time city employees working 20 hours per week, according to a city staff re-port.

Some Burnsville land-lords are objecting to the size of proposed fees under a new program of mandatory inspections. They have the attention of City Council members, who agreed at a July 10 work session to consider a reworked fee structure that rewards owners for keeping up their properties. Council members agreed in May to have the city in-spect all rental units every three years and common ar-eas of multifamily buildings annually. The owners of rental housing would pay annual fees for the inspections — charges of $130 per building and another $20 per unit un-der the current plan to cover unit inspections, Commu-nity Development Director Jenni Faulkner said. One apartment owner said the proposed fees will cost him $4,000 a year, even though his property is im-

peccably maintained and not the source of problems in Burnsville. Gerald Frisch, the owner of Park Place Apartments at 301 and 501 e. Burnsville Parkway, said he doesn’t ob-ject to inspections and some level of fee. “i’m happy to be here” in Burnsville, said Frisch, who was invited to comment at the work session by Mayor elizabeth kautz. “i just don’t want to be penalized for something we don’t do, and other people are causing the problems.” Frisch and the owner of The Pines of Burnsville are among those who have called her with objections, kautz said. Frisch suggested that if a certain percentage of the units come up clean, inspec-tions be suspended for the rest of the property, costing landlords less. That didn’t fly with City Manager Craig ebeling, who insisted that all units should be inspected. A sys-tem like Frisch suggested would be an “administrative nightmare,” ebeling said. Officials rejected a “tiered

system” favoring landlords with good track records in May, worried it would be “complicated and over-whelming,” Faulkner said. A few metro-area cities with mandatory inspections and fees do have tiered systems. The council directed city staffers to consider ways to keep fees lower for well-kept properties. One way might be to lower the basic inspection fees and impose progressively higher fees for reinspection of units with code violations. “i don’t want to penalize the good operators,” Coun-cil Member Dan kealey said. Staffers said they’ll work with owners and report back in August. The city expects to add about 3.5 building inspector positions for the program, as well as a half-time fire in-spector. The council has licensed rental properties since 2005 but kept the program free of fees and mandatory inspec-tions until after the Country Village Apartments debacle. in January, the council revoked the license of the 138-unit west Burnsville complex, which was beset by mold, sagging ceilings, pest infestations and other prob-lems. with the buildings emp-ty of residents who were forced to move, owner Lin-dahl Partnerships has com-menced mass repairs and is now seeking a provisional rental license to reoccupy. The application was set for council consideration July 3, but Lindahl asked that it be continued until city reinspection of the units is finished. now another Burnsville complex has generated com-plaints and triggered a city investigation, said Faulkner, who didn’t name the com-plex.


‘Good’ landlords may get a break

Inspection fees will get another look


A driver whose vehicle veered off the freeway and killed two roadside workers in Burnsville last October has been charged with one misdemeanor count of care-less driving. kirk edward Deamos, 22, of Raymore, Mo., will make his first court appearance on July 25 in hastings. Court documents say De-amos wasn’t speeding, under the influence of alcohol or using a cell phone when his 1998 Mitsubishi 3000 GT left the road at approximate-ly 12:33 p.m. Oct. 13 while headed northbound on in-terstate 35w. Deamos lost control of the car just south of the McAndrews Road overpass. it careened into the ditch, killing electricians Craig Carlson, 47, of Ramsey, and Ronald Rajkowski, 44, of St. Joseph. They were working for egan Co., a subcontrac-tor on a project to extend the MnPASS toll lane system through Burnsville.

“Our deepest sympathy is extended to the families of Craig Carlson and Ron-ald Rajkowski for their great loss,” Dakota County Attor-ney James Backstrom said in a July 9 news release. Deamos had left his home in Missouri at 4 a.m. that morning to visit his girl-friend, who was attending the College of St. Benedict in Collegeville. After being ticketed for speeding that morning in iowa, Deamos said he used cruise control to stay within the speed limit, according to the criminal complaint. Approaching the area where his vehicle left the road, Deamos slowed from 70 mph to 60 because of ce-ment barriers in place. The speed limit remained 70 in the area, which wasn’t a des-ignated construction zone, according to the State Patrol. Deamos told the patrol that he wanted to disengage his cruise control while driv-ing through the area and briefly looked down at his steering wheel to press the

correct button. when he looked up, he thought he was too close to the temporary concrete bar-rier and steered right, brak-ing at the same time, the complaint said. The car turned further right than he expected, so Deamos steered back to the left, “then back to the right again, all the while applying the brakes,” the complaint said. The car struck a pole and then continued to slide, strik-ing the electricians. Traffic cameras showed that Deamos was traveling at the speed of surrounding traffic, and a witness said his car didn’t appear to be speeding, the complaint said. Phone records showed he wasn’t using his phone at the time of the crash. The sentence for careless driving is up to 90 days in jail and/or a fine of $300 to $1,000.

Preslicka to tweak the de-signs. One is a more traditional representation of the trees-and-water theme and the other more abstract. Council Member Dan Kealey favored the “asym-metrical swoop” of the lat-ter. “No. 1 (the traditional de-sign) looks more civic. Three (the abstract design) looks more fashionable, trendy. ... The private sector might go with a look like that.” Council Member Dan Gustafson said No. 3 is a better symbol of change and progress. Council Member Mary Sherry wasn’t so sure about embracing “trendy.” “I don’t see that as water,”

she said of the logo’s blue streak. “I saw it as wind, be-cause the trees are bending.” No. 1 looks spiky, as though being “jolted with

electricity,” Kealey said. Council members sug-gested softening the spikes in No. 1 and making No. 3 look a bit more “civic.” Mayor Elizabeth Kautz said it’s important for the new logo to represent de-ciduous as well as evergreen trees, reflecting the city’s mix. The logo would be re-placed over time, leaving the city with two logos. Water towers won’t be repainted for another 15 to 20 years. New-er city vehicles will be on the road for up to a dozen years with the current logo. More permanent items such as granite tee signs at Birnam-wood Golf Course and the large logo on the front of City Hall aren’t even on a replacement schedule yet.

Entrance signs Council members settled on a traditional design for monument signs the city plans to install at entrances to the city. Signs are planned for Highway 13, Interstates 35W and 35E and County Road 42. Plans call for one installation every two years, in conjunction with road projects, at a cost of up to $50,000 per sign. Annual funding of $25,000 began with the 2012 budget. The first sign is planned for the city’s eastern en-trance on Highway 13, which is undergoing a major resurfacing project. Most council members preferred a brown sign with an arched sign cap on top and a base with a limestone veneer. Two other options developed by Kimley-Horn and Associates employed concrete sign bases – one of them with a wavy contour on top and stainless-steel trees behind the sign. The arch in the chosen design is reminiscent of the arched roof of the Burns-ville Ice Center and the arch-es on the Burnsville Parkway bridge over I-35W, Kautz said. And the limestone reflects the riverfront limestone min-ing quarry in Burnsville, she said. Kealey favored that de-sign in a “runaway.” “It’s very classy, tradi-tional,” Kautz said. Council Member Bill Coughlin said the design ap-pears dated and wasn’t his top choice, but it does reflect the city. Council Member Mary Sherry was a vigorous dis-senter, who called the design “dated and dowdy.” “I didn’t see the bridge. I didn’t see the Ice Center. I just saw dated,” said Sher-ry, who joked that the sign should carry a notice of her objections. “In very fine print,” City Manager Craig Ebeling said, laughing.

After years of planning, Dakota County commis-sioners, meeting as a com-mittee, passed a resolution July 10 verifying the county’s intention to approve a three-year contract with hennepin County for its medical ex-aminer services starting next year. After 25 years at Regina hospital in hastings, Da-kota County Medical exam-iner Lindsey Thomas and her staff will move into the hennepin County facility next year, and Thomas will become assistant medical examiner. Dr. Andrew Baker will become Dakota County’s medical examiner. Thomas said she is happy with the changes and never aspired to be chief medical examiner. “i’m totally for it,” Thomas told Sun Thisweek. “it’s so great. it really is the best long-term solution … for the shortage of forensic pathologists. in the future, it no longer makes sense to have a state like Minnesota with lots of little medical ex-aminer’s offices.” Thomas said regional-izing will allow better col-laboration of cases and keep her small office from being “totally vulnerable” if one person leaves. She said there is a na-tional shortage of forensic pathologists, and when her assistant forensic patholo-gist, Dr. Susan Roe, moved back to her home state of Texas it was challenging for the remaining staff. Lindsey said Regina Medical Center has been a good home for the office and wonderful to work with, but the department has out-grown available space and

Zombie romance novel is just the beginning for young Eagan author

Emily Shore sees publication of debut novel ‘Flesher’

by Andrew MillerSun ThiSweek

This summer brought good news for em-ily Shore. in June, the 25-year-old eagan teen-fiction author saw publication of her debut novel, “Flesher,” a post-apocalyptic zombie romance that’s now available on Amazon. it’s the first in what Shore hopes will be a long list of published works. She recently completed “The Legend of the Last Book-keeper,” a novel inspired by Ray Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451” that examines what the world would look like without books. “The Legend of the Last Bookkeeper” is the latest in a whole host of paranormal ro-mance and science fiction novels she’s writ-ten and is now looking to have published. her website, www.emilybethshore.com, gives a rundown of the writing projects she’s completed since committing to a career in writing. “i think i was a born writer,” said Shore, who was home-schooled through high school and went on to earn a creative writ-ing degree from Metro State university in St. Paul. “i started writing as a young girl – i would try to write short stories but i’d always end up writing a full-length book.” She’s now working on her next novel, “Se-renity,” a story about a future earth where girls are put on display as artwork. Shore, who works part-time at Barnes & noble in Apple Valley, took time to talk to us about her writing rituals, her strategies for dealing with writer’s block, and how a book by Stephenie Meyer gave her laryngitis. At what point in your life did you know you wanted to be a writer? ever since i learned to read and write. i credit my mother for giving me a healthy dose of literature at a young age. The first hours of every morning were dedicated to reading countless chapters of countless books. it was love at first sight. What is your writing strategy? Do you have any writing rituals? My writing strategy is to write no fewer than 1,000 words a day. no ritual other than stapling my pants to the chair and re-fusing myself any other pleasure other than writing those 1,000 words. if i didn’t have a part-time job, which required the use of my hands, i would write 3,000 words a day. however, i tried that once, and though i gained a 90,000-word book in one month, i also gained a temporary case of carpal tun-nel, which i have no desire to repeat. Describe your writing room. This would depend on whether you mean inside my house or outside. My ideal writ-ing room, if money and time were no object, would be any coffee shop first thing in the morning. i thrive in a crowded, chaotic, and above all cacophonic atmosphere in order to

write. The more noise, the better. And the fragrances of coffee only serve to heighten my senses. inside my house, my writing room is my office, which my hus-band and i specifically designed. it is entirely themed around books, art, and writing. What’s on your writ-ing desk? in addition to my laptop and desktop com-puter, my desk is entirely writer-themed with a type-writer adorning the back of it as well as a writer’s quill and ink bottle. On my desk, i also keep two framed photos of my book covers, which always serve as a reminder to keep writing. How do you get past writer’s block? if you had asked me this a couple months ago, i would have proudly declared that i never get writer’s block. however, i recently started writing in an unknown and particu-larly difficult genre for me, and i found my-self subsequently stuck. i discovered the an-swer to writer’s block in one of my defining character traits: persistence. i journeyed to a local coffee shop, researched the basis for

my writer’s block (which hap-pened to be plot structure at the time), and i stayed there for four hours until i had hashed out a worthy plot. i give most of the credit to Caribou Coffee’s hot cinna-mon spice tea for this. And Google. What are you reading right now? Since i work at a book-store, i constantly see new titles added to shelves. i’m always on the lookout for any compelling teen read since it’s the audience for which i write. i can read a number of books at one time without getting

too scatterbrained. My favorite title on my reading list would have to be “Daughter of Smoke and Bone” by Laini Taylor. What was the last truly great book you read? “The host” by Stephenie Meyer. Stun-ning character development, a wholly origi-nal idea, compelling emotional substance. i literally got laryngitis reading this aloud to my husband on a camping trip. Since then, it has become my ultimate choice for a “trapped on a desert island” book. “Blood Red Road” by Moira Young is another book notable and worthy of merit, which i found most stirring. “warm Bodies” by isaac Mar-ion, the last. Which authors have inspired you? The all-powerful, paid-by-the-word Charles Dickens. The sheer genius of J.R.R. Tolkien. The seductive yet simple power of Gaston Le Roux. The pure romanticism of Jane Austen. The morbid attractiveness of the Grimm Brothers. The descriptive allure of Daphne du Maurier. And yes, even the emotional complexes of Stephenie Meyer.

The most scrutinized in-dividual at next week’s Min-nesota Golf Association Amateur Championship won’t be playing. if conditions are too dif-ficult at the tournament that starts Monday at hastings Country Club, Doug hoff-mann will hear about it. if they’re too easy, and the tournament turns into a birdie-fest, hoffmann will hear about that, too. hoffmann, an Apple Val-ley resident who has been with the MGA since 1998, is used to it by now. One of his duties as the organization’s tournament director – his fa-vorite part of the job, he said – is setting up the courses for MGA championships. “when do i know i got it right?” hoffmann said, re-peating a question. “i guess it would be when players tell me they thought the setup was challenging but fair. “i ended up in the MGA-

PGA Cup in May (a one-day series of matches between the state’s top amateurs and professionals) when a player had to withdraw at the last minute. i played all 18 holes on a course (windsong Farm) i set up and had a number of players come up to me and ask, ‘Did you like your own setup? Did you get a little taste of your own medicine?’ But after playing it, i wouldn’t have changed a thing.” At golf tournaments such as last month’s u.S. Open, the course setup is almost as big a topic of conversation as the competition itself. The u.S. Golf Association has long been accused of want-ing to, as hoffmann called it, “preserve par.” Or, to put it another way, to keep the winning score as close to even par as possible. The winning score at this year’s u.S. Open was webb Simp-son’s 1 over par – one year after Rory Mcilroy demol-ished tournament records

for lowest 72-hole score (268) and lowest total under par (16 under). At last week-end’s u.S. women’s Open, only two players broke par for the tournament. hoffmann’s goals are a little different. “it doesn’t bother me at all if someone shoots 66 on a course i set up, as long as he played well,” he said. “what i wouldn’t want to see if somebody slop it around and shoot under par.” The last four winners of the MGA Amateur have finished under par and hoffmann said last week he believes a winning score of about eight to 10 under is likely at hastings Coun-try Club, where the 54-hole tournament will take place Monday through wednes-day. “Some people want the winning score to be 5 over,” he said. “On some courses, that would be Ok. On oth-ers, it wouldn’t be a good idea.”

hastings Country Club will play at 6,730 yards, rela-tively short for top amateur players, and its three par-5s could be reachable in two shots (another par-5 is being shortened by 10 yards and will play as a 465-yard par-4). hoffmann is working with several employees and members at hastings Coun-try Club to set up the course. Aside from converting one par-5 to a par-4, the biggest change will be reversing the nines. The 18th hole now will be a 160-yard par-3 – it’s unusual but not unprec-edented for tournaments to end on a par-3 – but is pre-ceded by several challenging par-4 holes. “it’s a balance,” hoff-mann said. “i’ll have my ideas, but at the same time it’s an advantage to work with a group that sees the course all the time.” The course lost about 40 trees after heavy thunder-storms went through Da-

kota County several weeks ago. hoffmann said only one of the lost trees would have affected how a hole was played. Of bigger concern was last week’s heat, which forced the club to water the course heavily. That had the course playing softer than hoffmann would prefer, but there still was time to get the course firmer for the tourna-ment. By wednesday afternoon, if birdies are possible but not plentiful, and players aren’t barking at him about the course being too diffi-cult, hoffmann will be able to relax.

Locals in state amateur Among the favorites in this year’s MGA Amateur is Apple Valley resident Sam-my Schmitz, the 2011 MGA Player of the Year. he fin-ished fifth in last year’s state amateur and this year has won two tournaments

for players 30 and older – the MGA Mid-Players, a match-play tournament, and the Minnesota Public Golf Association Mid-Am-ateur. Other players with local ties include Scott Bodelson of Southern hills, Corey Schommer of Brackett’s Crossing, former Lakeville north high School player Adam Petterson, who plays out of northfield Golf Club, Patrick Vincelli of Brackett’s Crossing and Ryan Strusz of Fountain Valley. Many former state ama-teur winners were players who turned professional shortly thereafter. The most recent winner who is in this year’s field is Adam Dooley, who won the tournament in 1999. Spectator admission is free.

each summer, which has dropped slightly as older children age out of the pro-gram. Phillips said she hopes more families will join as the city works to raise aware-ness.

The program has been a positive experience for Na-than, who has autism. Over the past four years he has played adaptive bowling, basketball and soccer through Eagan Parks and Recreation. “He likes to be able to get

out and do things with other kids who are at his pace,” his mother, Debbi, said. Eagan’s adaptive sports are a mainstay for 9-year-old Ben Wilmes, who has Down syndrome. Wilmes is a member of the bowling team and for

the past three years has played on Eagan’s adaptive basketball and T-ball teams. His mother, DeAnn, said she has noticed the program has helped Wilmes build so-cial skills and self-esteem. “He often wants to be independent and go out to

do things with others,” she said. “This allows him to do that.” Though she likes the programs currently offered, DeAnn said she hopes the city will add dance and gym-nastics to its programming. For more information on

Eagan’s adaptive recreation programs visit http://www.ci.eagan.mn.us/live/article.aspx?id=40280 or call (651) 675-5500.

have had equipment prob-lems. “Our (six) coolers are literally held together with duct tape,” Thomas said. “On days we have more than six bodies, it’s not a pretty picture.” Hennepin County pro-posed and drafted a co-operative agreement and requested Dakota County officially resolve the coun-ty’s intention before it begins remodeling some offices to accommodate the additional employees.

The three-year contract begins Jan. 1, 2013, and states that barring a cata-strophic event, the county would pay a maximum of $1.09 million next year for the services. The cost could be re-duced if other counties that have partnered with Dakota County for the medical ex-aminer’s office would also move to Hennepin County. Those counties are Chisago, Fillmore, Freeborn, Good-hue, Houston and Scott. County Administrator Brandt Richardson stated in a board memo that the other

counties, including Scott, are considering Hennepin County as well. State law mandates coun-ties provide medical exam-iner services by a certified forensic pathologist. According to the county, the medical examiner’s of-fice investigates all human deaths that are sudden, un-expected, unnatural, violent, suspicious, or unattended by a physician.

A few museum pieces are on display in the sleek, modern lobby of Data Sales Co. in Burnsville. Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Robert Breckner points out the iBM 3420 magnetic tape drive, a bulky data-storage machine introduced in 1970. “There are still compa-nies that are running them, believe it or not,” Breckner said. “we’ve had a couple of movie studios call us to use them as props for sci-fis.” Data Sales, a homegrown company that began its 40th year of business in May, has one foot planted in the technologies of old and the other marching toward the newest hardware solutions. Still family-owned, Data Sales is now a full-service business technology com-pany that still deals in used and refurbished iBM prod-ucts. Family patriarch and Data Sales Chairman Ron Breckner, 75, started out as

an iBM salesman in 1961 after graduating from the university of Minnesota. “There were computers even then, though they were large for what they did,” Ron Breckner said. “That was the era of the 1401 sys-tem, followed by the Sys-tem/360 and System/370, followed by PCs.” Breckner sold the big mainframes throughout the Midwest, from offices in Omaha, kansas City and St. Louis, where he was branch manager. “honeywell was the main competitor of iBM at that point in time,” said Ron, who works part time these days. “CDC (Control Data Corp.) was emerging, with (william) norris at the controls. it got to be a battle. iBM won, in my opinion. ... There’s a lot of companies that still use mainframes. They’re ones that process tremendous quantities of data.” he left iBM in 1969 and worked for a couple of com-panies that resold used iBM equipment. “Then i decided there’s more money to be made if you keep it yourself and call your own shots,” said Ron, whose May 1973 launch of Data Sales Co. was in the basement of his home on Penn Avenue in Burnsville. “we were kind of like used-car salesmen in a way,” Ron said, explaining that sales were often of products that had become obsolete to the original users. Ron, who now lives in Prior Lake, and about 10 other dealers were charter members of the Computer Dealers Association, said Robert Breckner, one of four Breckner children, all of whom work in the family business. “he actually was a front-runner in establishing an iBM used recertified mar-ket where there was none,” Robert said. “he knew the product. he knew he customers. he

knew the maintenance pro-cedures. he knew the con-figurations. he knew it all,” Robert said. Beginning with the fam-ily basement, Data Sales had four Burnsville loca-tions before constructing a 180,000-square-foot build-ing on the northwest corner of Burnsville Parkway and County Road 42. “we were one of the first (businesses) in this area,” said Robert, a 1982 Burns-ville high School graduate who still lives in Burns-ville. “we were one of the first ones to develop in the Southcross industrial park area back in 1991. it’s a great location — easy ac-cess to 35, a beautiful view of Sunset Pond.” The Burnsville head-quarters is 70 percent ware-house, technical operations and fleet garage and 30 per-cent office space. Data Sales also has a 30,000-square-foot location on Scottsdale, Ariz., and sales offices in houston, Cleveland, De-troit, Los Angeles and Scottsdale. The company employs nearly 100 people in Burns-ville and about a dozen in Scottsdale. Robert, the youngest Breckner sibling, was an American Airlines pilot before being lured back into the family business in 1992. The oldest, Paul, is president and CeO of Data Sales. The other two, Jane and Bill, work at the com-pany’s Scottsdale location. Their mother, Judy, is com-pany secretary, Robert said. “it’s been a wonderful ride,” he said. “we’ve just always been a very close family. Ron has always been kind of the glue for every-body. There was a lot of op-portunity, and it was fun.” Data Sales still buys and sells iBM tape drives and disc drives and is one of the top suppliers of used parts back to iBM, Robert said. But the business has eclipsed its iBM-reseller roots. it began leasing business technology equipment 30 years ago. “The biggest part of our business going forward is equipment leasing,” Rob-ert said. “The real growing area is companies providing services over the internet. ... we’re providing lease fi-nancing for all their infra-structure that they use to support service over the in-ternet.” Other Data Sales special-ties include customized iT technical services, equip-ment refurbishment, iT re-covery and nationwide ship-ping of iT products through its fleet of eight semi trucks. To celebrate its 40th an-niversary in May 2013, the company is planning a year of special events and cor-porate activities, including a community-service cam-paign. The Data Sales Gives Back campaign is providing employees with 400 compa-ny-paid hours to volunteer on behalf of local nonprof-its. More information on Data Sales Co. is at www.datasales.com.
