For the congregation of Lakeville’s Hosanna! Luther-an Church, a ministry for se-niors is considered a top pri-ority, according to Pastor Bill Bohline. That’s why the congrega-tion, at its annual meeting at 2 p.m. on Oct. 31, will vote on whether to move forward on a senior housing development to be built on the west side of
Hosanna’s 58-acre property. “We have always had the desire to steward this land in a way that honors God and serves the community,” Bohline wrote in a letter to the congregation on Sept. 24. “A careful study of the demographics, the financial markets, and the community needs indicate that conditions are favorable to support such a project.” Lakeville City Administra-tor Steve Mielke acknowl-edged Hosanna, and its po-tential partner in the senior living facility, Ebenezer, have shown the city a concept for

Dahl’s legal troubles continueLakeville Mayor Holly Dahl faces more scrutiny related to husband’s failed business
by Derrick WilliamsTHISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Lakeville mayor Holly Dahl is facing additional legal scrutiny, this time over the legitimacy of documents her husband, Kevin, provid-ed to a bank for a business loan that Holly had person-ally guaranteed. According to the trustee in an involuntary bankrupt-cy case against Kevin Dahl, a financial statement pro-vided to Community Banks of Colorado for a $500,000 business loan in 2007 was fake. According to court docu-ments, bankruptcy trustee Nauni Manty found that Kevin provided a financial statement to the bank repre-senting that he and Holly had more than $9.8 million in se-curities that never existed. Holly is listed in court documents because she also personally guaranteed the loan. A “portfolio summary” provided to the bank by Kev-
in claimed New York- based Silver-crest Asset Management was manag-ing the multi-million dollar account for
Kevin and Holly. Community Banks of Colorado said in a claim for relief filed on March 5, that they would never had entered into the transaction had they known of Kevin’s true financial condition, or that of his business, Dahl Financial & Consulting Ser-vices, LLC. The bank goes on to say Kevin “knew the financial statement was materially false” and used it to “de-ceive” the bank into entering the loan. The bank is seeking $544,044.38 in the bank-ruptcy case. Kevin Dahl didn’t imme-diately return messages seek-ing comment. When reached
by telephone, Holly pointed to a statement released on Oct. 1 addressing their legal issues. “These reports are trou-bling to my family and me as we consider them personal and unrelated to my public life as an elected official,” she wrote. All told, Kevin has $1.7 million in judgements against him and his business, but the loan from Commu-nity Banks of Colorado is the only one Holly person-ally guaranteed, she said in her statement. “I am embarrassed and saddened by these reports and personal attacks on my integrity in a community I love and serve every day,” Holly wrote. “When one places oneself in a public position as I have, it is an unfortunate reality in poli-tics that personal attacks become the method used to discredit others.” Last month, Holly faced a contempt of court hearing
in Dakota County District Court because she hadn’t re-sponded to subpoenas to be deposed for a different case against Kevin. As a result, Holly was deposed on Oct. 7, at which time she provided the plain-tiff in that judgement with financial records for both her and Kevin. Holly is seeking re-elec-tion as Lakeville’s mayor on Nov. 2. In addition to the financial turmoil Holly and Kevin are experiencing, Kevin is bat-tling advanced colon cancer. “(Kevin’s) battle with cancer, and the various com-plications that are associated with this disease, have made it nearly impossible for him to conduct his business af-fairs, let alone meet his fi-nancial obligations,” Holly said in her statement. The bankruptcy case against Kevin is ongoing.

A champion for the underdog, Mark Bellows runs for mayorPastor, therapist, Lakeville Police chaplain, Bellows says
a call to duty is fueling his campaignby Derrick Williams
THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Mark Bellows has been standing just outside the public eye for most of the 23 years he’s called Lakev-ille home. Sure, he’s been on Lakev-ille’s City Council for 10 years, a role someone could say is front and center for the community, but he ac-knowledges that many peo-ple don’t know much about him beyond his soft-spoken nature in the council cham-bers. And that would prob-ably be just fine for Bellows, 56, if he wasn’t running for mayor.
“I’m just hoping people get to know me,” Bellows said. “There’s just a lot of people who don’t know who I am.” So why would someone who thinks he’s an unknown run for a seat as mayor? “I’m running out of frus-tration,” Bellows said. “I’m running on a set of values and a vision I have for the city. It feels it’s a bit like a call to duty.”
The day job And Bellows might know something about calls to duty. While he’s involved in civic government by night,
by day, Bellows is the pastor at Lakeville’s Hope Com-munity Church. Bellows started the church from scratch, knock-ing on doors, he said. “I’m a fortunate and blessed person. I love what I do. It’s my life,” Bellows said. “I never feel like I go to work.” Hope has been dubbed a recovery church by some, but it’s a title Bellows said he’s not entirely comfort-able with. “It’s broader than that. We see people come to wholeness here,” he said. “There is an

Farmington graduate, firefighter dies in motorcycle crashMemorial service at Lord of Life Church
by Laura AdelmannTHISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
A 2008 Farmington High School graduate was killed Oct. 10 in a motor-cycle accident in western Wisconsin. Benjamin “BJ” Jacob Wratz, 20, was driving his motorcycle with three friends when at about 3:15 p.m. his bike skidded out of control as he drove around a bend. The bike crashed into a bridge rail and was pro-pelled into the south fork of the Bad Axe River on Vernon County Road in the town of Sterling. Wratz, who was wearing a helmet, was pronounced dead at the scene by the Vernon County coroner. In an interview Tues-day, Wratz’s mother, Chris Wratz, called him a “hap-py, smiley kid who would always go out of his way to help anyone.” Wratz was a volunteer with the Farmington Fire Department and was at-tending Hennepin Tech-nical College to become
a professional fireman, a dream he’d held since about eighth grade. He had just finished a first responder class. Chris said her son was not a very experienced rider and always wore a helmet and protective gear. Wratz was involved in 4-H and particularly liked clowning. He had been an ambassador in Atlanta for the National 4-H Confer-ence, and just recently be-came screened as an adult 4-H leader. One of six children, Wratz was known for tak-ing care of others, includ-ing changing the oil in the cars of each of his family members. At the time of the acci-dent, his youngest brother, Jonathan, 10, was doing a homework assignment writing about his hero, Ben. Oldest brother Mat-thew, 24, described Wratz as a good kid with a bright future. “He was very caring. He

Public comment: Citizen forum or bully pulpit?Council debate rises over proper use of public comment time
by Laura AdelmannTHISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Are some Farmington City Council candidates using city meetings to cam-paign during televised pub-lic comment time? Candidates Jerry Ristow and David Pritzlaff both
appeared at the Oct. 4 coun-cil meeting and posed nu-merous questions to council and staff. Pritzlaff has been an outspoken regular critic of some council actions at the meetings; once from the po-dium, he called for Mayor
Todd Larson’s resignation. At the Oct. 4 meeting, Pritzlaff asked critical ques-tions and quizzed council members; Ristow, generally less abrasive in his state-ments, also made some pointed comments to vari-ous council members.
Some council members have interpreted those can-didates’ public comments as a form of campaign tactic. Larson said he welcomes all comments, but wants to keep them from interfering with the council’s work.

After weeks of debate, Farmington City Council members asked City Admin-istrator Peter Herlofsky to produce a range of budget-cutting options for them to consider at a Nov. 8 work session. Additionally, council members expressed surprise that a job for a deputy regis-trar supervisor is being adver-tised on the city website, with a salary range of $51,116 to $60,066, when they have been talking about staff layoffs due to budget issues. Council member Steve Wilson said he was com-pletely floored to discover the posting, and asked Herlofsky how he could accept applica-tions for a job without the council’s direction.
“A lot of due diligence needs to be done before we talk about hiring someone,” Wilson said. But Herlofsky referenced the council’s June resolution approving a special law au-thorizing the city to operate a deputy registrar office at Farmington City Hall. “This is part of the process of setting up the deputy regis-trar’s office,” Herlofsky said. But council members said the action was just part of the process that gave the city the option to move forward so the legislation wouldn’t be repealed next session. According to council meet-ing minutes of June 7, the city attorney said the resolution is merely a procedural require-ment for the special legislation to go into effect and doesn’t require the council to do any-thing substantive regarding the deputy registrar’s office. Council member Julie May also said she was sur-
prised and that she expected more information about their options, including exploring whether the office should be privately run. Other council members agreed, but Herlofsky said if they want to start early in 2011, they must begin recruit-ing. Mayor Todd Larson said advertising the position seems to be putting the cart before the horse. Council members also asked for more options to cut $400,000 or $500,000 from the 2011 budget. Previously, the council had rejected some of the sug-gestions presented, included closing warming houses, the puppet wagon and city pool in addition to relying on do-nations for hand soap, toilet paper and Kleenex at the Rambling River Center. No consensus was reached regarding whether the admin-istrative services director and
Frustrated City Council asks for budget optionsConcerns raised
about job posting, franchise fees
economic development spe-cialist positions should be cut, and there also was confusion over who is responsible for hiring and firing city staff. Herlofsky said he’s not a city manager, and therefore is not in charge of hiring and firing staff. But council members said they only oversee the city ad-ministrator, who is in charge of running the city staff and is charged with those decisions. Herlofsky said in a later interview he is working on other options for reducing the budget, but would prefer to
maintain existing staff. Larson, May and council member Christy Jo Fogarty all said they were frustrated with the budget process and the administrator’s refusal to cut staff, which May said in a previous meeting is 85 percent of the budget. “I’m concerned you’re not being very realistic if you think you can cut paper supplies by $500,000,” Fog-arty said. “We are concerned you’re setting us up. We don’t want to have a situation where another tornado comes through Farmington and we
don’t have the resources to help our residents.” Questions were also raised about the city’s option to em-ploy franchise fees on utilities to fund street seal coating projects. Concerns included how the charges would be fairly distributed, the lack of con-nection between road work and utilities, and the fact that the fees are set by unelected utility officials and out of the city’s hands.

Dancing zombies kicked off a scream-filled week-end during the Support Our Troops Haunted House event Oct. 8-9 at the county fair-grounds in Farmington. About 900 people dared tour the “house,” a maze of rooms divided by sheets set up in the 4-H building, with each room featuring a theme. The most popular rooms, as determined by visitors’ votes, were the haunted class-room, the demoniac play-
room and the “wedding from hell” room. Organizer Germaine Beyl, Castle Rock Township, de-clared the event a success, noting many compliments re-ceived from visitors. Beyl started the haunted house in 2003 as a small event held at her family’s farm, and asked each person attend-ing to bring a non-perishable item to include in a care package to her son’s military unit deployed in Iraq. The tradition grew and at-tracted volunteers. In 2008, the haunted house opened to the public, and Thrivent Financial for Lutherans began offering a matching donation of funds.
Last year, the group raised enough money to fly a soldier from Minnesota to Califor-nia to spend Christmas with her children before being de-ployed to Iraq. This year, 79 volunteers helped set up, staff and disas-semble the haunted house. Dancers from Footsteps Dance Studio in Burnsville kicked off the festivities each evening with zombie dances. Funds collected from the $5 entrance fee and do-nation jar will be used to send cards and packages to many soldiers who are reg-istered through the haunted house website, www.sup-portourtroopshh.com.
Some of the soldiers who have returned home have tracked down Beyl to person-ally thank her for the pack-ages and support. “When they show up like that, it’s pretty emotional,” Beyl said. “The packages we send do make a difference. The soldiers love to receive them.” Beyl added that she has promised to keep the haunted house going until all the sol-diers deployed abroad return home. “We’ll keep doing it as long as there’s a need,” she said.

Opinion
Wilson committed to FarmingtonTo the editor: My family is supporting Steve Wilson for city coun-cil. We met Wilson through the Farmington Cub Scouts. As our family became more acquainted with Wil-son and his family, we have learned of their commit-ment to Farmington. It’s very impressive to see the Wilson family at all the Farmington events, whether it is Cub Scouts, youth sport-ing events (some of which he coaches), school events or at council meetings on the local access channel. He manages this while having a full-time job at HealthPartners. To us, Wilson’s commit-ment to the Farmington community is beyond com-parison. I’m a small business own-er and my job requires travel and strange hours of work. It’s great to know that there is a person like Wilson to be here “manning the fort” and looking out for Farming-ton’s best interest. Being a small business owner and a taxpayer I know that I need more con-sistency from my govern-ment. When government moves too fast or erratically, it’s too difficult predicting the growth of my company. Personally, my wife and I are always shocked every year as we see more and more taxes being requested of us. It seems that we are the ones consistently tightening our belts; when will the gov-ernment? Wilson understands this and will continue to fight against reckless government spending. Wilson’s friendship and record has shown me his core beliefs.
Wilson realizes the pres-sures on small businesses and families. We know he is committed to Farmington by his record as being our council mem-ber for the past five years. His record speaks for it-self and Farmington should vote for Wilson to serve an-other term. Steve Wilson is a Farm-ington resident that we can be proud of. BILL MAYLEBEN Farmington
Rejecting ‘found money’: foolish or wise?To the editor: In the Sept. 24 Thisweek, a letter writer is harshly critical of U.S. Rep. John Kline and Gov. Tim Pawlen-ty’s stands to not accept earmark dollars from the federal government and de-picts their positions as irra-tional ideology that anyone with a little common sense should see. After all, why would Minnesota use lo-cal and state taxes to pay for projects that could be paid for with taxes we sent to the feds coming back to us? If life were that simple, we wouldn’t need this letter writer to tell us so. Anyone who understands the financial and emotional complexity of earmarks knows better. It’s not like the state of Minnesota sends the federal government a check, some of which the feds want to give back. The fed gets the money from the individ-ual and business taxes we all pay. And as we regretfully know, it spends a lot more than we send them. This money, especially the mon-ey “created out of thin air” (called monetizing the debt or simply printing money) as part of the stimulus pack-age has brought us to dan-
gerous national debt levels. Worse yet, these funds aren’t even subjected to the rigor of the budgeting pro-cess – how important can a project be if a congressman isn’t willing to stand up for it? So the notion that Kline and Pawlenty are reject-ing our hard-earned money coming back to us is silly. That’s not to say the deci-sion to reject earmark dol-lars is an easy call, especially if other politicians and states don’t share the same principle. Plus, congressio-nal members who don’t ac-cept what seems like “found” money become easy targets for folks like the anti-Kline letter writer. It takes courage for the first few politicians to take a stand along with the support of wise voters with foresight to change this perverted budgeting process at a time when we most need fiscal discipline. They will make it easier for others to follow their lead.
JOHN NERDAHLLakeville
Lakeville schools’ levy is bad timingTo the editor: Once again, the citizens of Lakeville are being asked to vote on a new school levy. I am surprised at this and think the timing could not be any worse. I am sympathetic to the schools’ dilemma, but the fact is that our economy is in horrible shape. Our country is still in a whopping reces-sion with nearly 10 percent unemployment. Families are struggling to pay bills, health insurance premiums are go-ing up markedly thanks to the government health care mandates, groceries have risen as well as gas prices. People are still facing foreclosures left and right and risk losing their homes. The bottom line is this:
Everyone is struggling – businesses, schools and fam-ilies. We have all had to cut back on many things and adjust budgets. I feel for the school sys-tems, and I support all the fundraisers it has when I see them or they come to the door. I think a levy would be better supported in a time when people are not strug-gling to pay basic bills like house payments and health care premiums or groceries. Maybe next year would be a better time. Let’s give people a chance to come up for air before we hit them with yet another big ex-pense. Furthermore, the levies would increase our prop-erty taxes by nearly $300 a year on homes that are at some of their lowest values in years. It does not make sense to increase property taxes on devalued proper-ties. Personally, I will be vot-ing against the levies this time around, but would not necessarily vote against them in the future. I just think it is horrible timing and that we need to give people a chance to recover in this recession.
CHRIS CARLSONLakeville
It’s time to pass a levy in fullTo the editor: I am a mother to three children in the Lakeville school district. I am, there-fore, also a taxpayer who is faced with the potential for a hike in property taxes should the second levy ques-tion pass on Nov. 2. We do not want to part with that money, but we will gladly do so on behalf of our children and all learners in Lakeville. It is time. It is time to let our chil-dren know that they are worth our investment, that we will not let the quality of their education suffer from underfunding. It is time to show them that when we say education is important, we mean it – not just on an idealistic level, but on a re-alistic, we-will-make-it-hap-pen level. We mean that it is worth some financial sacri-fice, and maybe even some financial discomfort.
I understand how and why many – particularly those without children – may be tempted to vote against the second question in the levy. But research has shown that increased invest-ment in education translates into increased prosperity and quality of living for all of us. We all lose when we fail to support our learners. It is time for us – all of us – to pass a levy in full in Lakeville.
LIZ CASWELLLakeville
Supports Mark Bellows for mayorTo the editor: Integrity, ability, and the desire to work hard are important attributes which people in elected office need to have. I served with Mark Bellows when I was mayor of Lakeville and can attest to the fact that he possesses all three of these key quali-ties. After serving as mayor, I know that over the coming years the mayor and council will need to make thousands of decisions. Most of these decisions will never receive much publicity or public in-put, but it does not lessen the impact they will have on the community. This responsi-bility entrusted to elected of-ficials means it’s important to have Bellows studying the issues, and making fair and financially responsible deci-sions for the residents and businesses of Lakeville. The financial integrity of Lakeville has always been a citizen priority because peo-ple here realize the impor-tance of both the short- and long-term effects that result from the budget and priority choices the city makes. Not only do I believe Bellows will make wise and prudent spending decisions, but I also believe he will do it with the sincerity of purpose that guides his everyday life. We are at a time in our nation and city where we need to have elected people with the determination to fully understand the issues, and then have the courage to do the right thing. Bel-lows’ reputation as a caring and principled person, who works hard, and has the ability to make prudent de-cisions makes him a superb
choice for Lakeville. Those attributes also give me the confidence to say I believe he will make an excellent mayor for Lakeville.
ROBERT D. JOHNSONFormer Lakeville mayorLakeville
Support Dahl for mayorTo the editor: We would like to take the time to write urging Lakev-ille residents to vote for Hol-ly Dahl for mayor. We have known Dahl for several years and have been impressed with her desire to make both the community and the people she interacts with better. During Dahl’s tenure, she has done much to in-crease Lakeville’s visibil-ity in the Twin Cities metro area. Since 2008, she has served on multiple legisla-tive committees through the League of Minnesota Cities. Through these interactions, she has had many opportu-nities to showcase Lakev-ille’s strengths as a growing community and a shining star in the south metro. Dahl has also made her-self available to represent the needs of the residents of Lakeville without caving in to special interests or mak-ing decisions based on what may be easier to defend. Throughout exhaustive ne-gotiations, Lakeville was able to get a positive posi-tion with the Met Council and bus service has been brought to Lakeville with-out a direct increase in prop-erty taxes for its residents. Budget constraints have hit every community and yet Lakeville continues to be one of the lowest taxed towns in the Twin Cities metro area. Lakeville is positioned to move forward far sooner than other communities at-tracting new and growing businesses in the years to come, and with Dahl’s lead-ership and business knowl-edge, the citizens of Lakev-ille can be assured that our community’s and families’ best interests will be her top priority.

On the Oct. 1 Thisweek city of Lakeville prepared messages page, in the “Did You Know” column it stated, “It would take eight Target stores in Lakeville to equal the financial benefits cur-rently provided to local property taxpayers by the Lakeville liquor stores.” Without question, the Lakev-ille Municipal Liquor operation is the largest and most profitable of the 220 cities operating mu-nicipal liquor stores in Minne-sota. In 1989 the operation was 10th in sales. Today it remains the industry leader. This is due to an outstanding operations director, store managers and sales associ-ates providing superior product selection and customer service.
Of course, house-hold growth and customer support from the Lakeville area at the three liquor stores have contributed to its ongoing success.
Similarly, Lakeville SuperTarget is also very successful due to their location, outstanding team lead-ers and team members which pro-vide quality grocery products and merchandise as well as quality guest services and store services. Lakeville Liquors competes with other municipal and private liquor outlets outside our bound-aries. SuperTarget competes with two Cub stores, one Rainbow and a Fleet Farm within our com-munity. As a premier retailer, SuperTarget has attracted Mar-
shalls, Office Max and Best Buy to Timbercrest at Lakeville. Their property taxes and employment provide significant benefits to the city of Lakeville, ISD 194 and Dakota County taxpayers. A quick comparison identifies how each business benefits local taxpayers and the “economic en-gine” of our local economy.
Lakeville Liquor • Annual payroll: $1,250,000 • Employees: 36 (21 years and older) • Property Taxes 2010: $81,600
SuperTarget • Annual Payroll: $2,500,000 • Employees: About 150 (16 years and older) • Property Taxes 2010:
$142,928
Both business enterprises make significant contributions to the Lakeville community. Lakeville Liquors contributed $538,106 in 2008 to offset proper-ty taxes (primarily General Fund Capital Outlay and Debt Service) for the city of Lakeville. including partial funding for the ISD 194 Chemical Awareness Program ($18,324). Lakeville SuperTarget made contributions of $427,532 from 2004 through 2008 via their Take Charge of Education program to ISD 194 schools and the All Saints School which continues to-day. Also through their local store grants program, they support the arts and social services and help nonprofits support communities
close to home. (Dollar amounts are not available.) Lakeville Liquors and Super-Target employees volunteer many hours to community-based proj-ects. As you can see, both business enterprises make meaningful contributions which benefit the Lakeville community. Depend-ing on the factors being measured and the point trying to be made, it doesn’t appear that it requires eight Target stores to equal the financial benefits of the Lakeville Municipal Liquor operations.

Lots of football left to playby Andy RogersTHISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
Strange things happen in sports all the time. No amount of lifting weights and coaches meet-ings can stop weird things from happening during a game. A football has a pretty odd shape as it is and it can bounce almost any-where. Lakeville South football scored just six points in the last two games after putting up 55 against Bloomington Kennedy in late September. The offense put up the yards, just not the points in the games against Lakev-ille North and Rosemount, dropping their record to 3-3. It was the second time in school history North beat South. The Panthers also won in the Section 1-5A title game last year, while South won the previous four meet-ings. There’s still plenty of time to put things right be-fore the section tournament begins. The South Cougars will visit Prior Lake for the first time ever on Friday. Even though the Lakers have a 4-2 record, they’re a hard team to judge. All four victories were against teams with losing records.
And their wins against Apple Valley, Burnsville and Bloomington Kennedy came down to a play or two. There’s no doubt Prior Lake can put up points, but they’ve given up 20-plus points in their last four games. The Cougars will close out the regular season by hosting Burnsville on Oct. 20, which is another hard team to judge. Just ask the Panthers. North was left scratch-ing its head after losing to Burnsville 26-3 on Oct. 1. Everything was clicking for the Blaze — offense, de-fense and special teams. It was North’s second loss in a row after starting the season 3-0. But it’s funny how beat-ing your biggest rival in front of thousands can turn things around. The Panthers’ defense had an answer for the Cou-gars last week and offen-sively the Trey Heid-to-Jake Berg connection was potent against South. All of sudden that Burns-
ville game seems pretty far away. With two winnable home games against Prior Lake and Bloomington Jefferson before playoffs, North could be heading into playoffs feeling pretty good.
Tiger woes continue The Farmington football team has found itself in un-familiar territory. Last weekend’s 21-16 loss to Northfield was its fourth in a row and fifth on the season. However, the last two games against Holy Angels and Northfield have been closer. Statistically speak-ing, Farmington has put up some high marks. CJ Re-cord had 219 rushing yards against Holy Angels and quarterback Darren Been-ken had 286 yards passing and five touchdowns in the two losses. The defense hasn’t got-ten high marks, giving up more than 20 points in all five losses this season. Neither of the teams left on Farmington’s sched-ule has a winning record. Chaska comes to town on Friday and the Tigers will take a trip to New Prague on Wednesday.
How does that section look? With two games left, there’s still plenty of room for North, South and Farm-ington to improve their seeds for the Section 1-5A tournament scheduled for Oct. 26. No one should be closing the door of the trophy case where a section-title plaque would go. If the playoffs started today, Rochester Century would have the No. 1 seed
with a 6-0 record (although three of those victories came against 4A teams). Owatonna, Mayo and John Marshall are all 3-3. In the past three years, someone from Lakeville has won the section title. North won in 2007 after three reg-ular season losses and again in 2009 with two. South won in 2008 after entering the section with a 5-3 record.

Tigers finish soccer season on a down noteby Andy RogersTHISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
The Farmington girls soccer team ended the sea-son with its second winning record in a row. The Tigers spent every day of 2010 with a record at .500 or above, which led to a No. 5 seed in the Section 3AA tournament. Farmington lost to No. 4 seed Rosemount 4-0 on Tuesday in the quarterfi-nals, ending the team’s sea-son with a 9-8-1 record.
Boys soccer The Tigers started out the season with a 4-3 record after a 2-1 victory against Red Wing on Sept. 16. Since then, the goals have been few and far between. “September was a pretty tough month,” coach Julian Buss said. “I think we lost something like five in a row. We played some pretty good teams and had a couple of tough losses.” The 3-2 Chanhassen loss
on Sept. 21 stood out as Farmington was ahead 2-1 with a minute remaining. The Storm tied the game and secured the victory in the final minute of over-time. “It took quite a few days
for myself and some of the boys to shake that loss off,” Buss aid. With the exception of the losses to Northfield and Shakopee, Buss said he felt Farmington competed well against all Missota Confer-
ence opponents. The Tigers got a break on Oct. 5 with a 4-3 win over Chaska. That good feeling carried over to Oct. 7 with a 3-0 victory against New Prague. “Chaska was a much-needed emotional lift,” Buss said. “Chaska had a great team but we managed to get a few goals in on them.” Regardless of the record, Buss feels like the past two years have been positive. “Since I’ve started coach-ing soccer here the last two years have been extremely rewarding,” Buss said. “The boys are outstanding in terms of commitment, atti-tude and leadership. “These boys love to play soccer and it shows on the field.” He praised the leadership of seniors Justen Thelen and Christian Thao as well as junior Sam Leske, which helped keep everyone’s chin up. Keeper Chad Stivers had a tough job filling in for
last year’s team most valu-able player Derrian Vietti and “has proven to be one of the best keepers I have seen,” Buss said. The Tigers also relied on four freshmen to fill significant minutes. Blake Smith started every game and Jeffery Hansen was an occasional starter along with Jared Wolt and Hunter Meyer. No. 7 seed Farming-ton began play in the Sec-tion 1AA tournament on Thursday with a match against No. 2 seed Lakeville North. “I think it is interesting to see a No. 2 seed playing a No. 7 seed, each team with six wins in the season,” Buss said. “They did have a num-ber of ties and had a lot of close games against tough opponents.” The results were unavail-able at press time.

Balls bounce in various directions for Lakeville boys soccer
by Andy RogersTHISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
The boys soccer coaches at both Lakeville North and South say it’s tough to pick a fa-vorite in the Section 1AA tour-ney, which began on Thursday. Any one of the top half could win, according to South couch Peter Benson. “Northfield, North, (Roch-ester) Mayo, (Rochester) Cen-tury and South could all make it to the section championship game and it wouldn’t surprise me,” Benson said. No. 1 seed Northfield is the defending section champion, but Lakeville North coach Pete Tyma knows it’s still anyone’s game. “It just takes a team playing well together at the right time and taking advantage of oppor-tunities on the field when they present themselves,” Tyma said. He would know. North won the section in 2008. The first round was played on Thursday (the results were unavailable at press time). The winners are scheduled to play on Saturday and the champion-ship game is Tuesday.
South boys Lakeville South has been far from full strength this sea-son. The Cougars had a cap-tain go down with a concussion and they watched a cold pass through their roster. Many seniors had to carry a heavier load to cover up for all the injuries and sicknesses. Jon Daly leads the team in
scoring with seven goals and six assists. Josh Peterson and Lucas Gharib each have three goals and three assists. In goal, Danny Johnson has tallied six shutouts. Since starting the season 5-2-2, Lakeville South closed out the season 2-7-0 with wins against Rosemount and Prior Lake to get the No. 5 seed. “The positive is that we’ve been competing and playing well in every game,” Benson said. “We just haven’t been able to find the net as easily as we’d want.” Lakeville South was shut out in four of those seven losses. Benson admits that to win the Section 1AA tournament, “each player will need to exceed expectations, know their roles, and play with a focused inten-sity for the entire 80 minutes of each game.”
North boys If anyone is going to beat the Panthers in the playoffs they’re going to have to score on them first. Lakeville North has allowed more than one goal in a game just once this season. That in-cludes games against Apple Valley, Eagan and Bloomington Jefferson, who are all in the top 10 in the state. “We have been in nearly ev-ery game” Tyma said. “I think the players would tell you that they think some of those losses and ties could have been wins for any number of reasons.” North lost 1-0 to all three
top 10 teams. “If anything, our players just have good core team defen-sive skills,” Tyma said. “There isn’t a certain strategy or game plan that we follow. We really just focus on good tackling and technique and good things hap-pen.” The back line has played nearly every minute of every game together, and the goalie has backed them up. “Connor (Revsbeck) has been extremely good in goal for us,” Tyma said. “I think his teammates know that with him back there they can take chances on offense because he will make the save if there is any breakdown.” Beating Lakeville South last weekend was key for North to get the No. 2 seed in sections. With four 1-0 losses this season, it was nice to be on the winning end of one. The Panthers have also been part of a large number of ties this season with five. “I think part of it has to be how comparable we are in tal-ent with other teams,” Tyma said. “Of course, a bounce this way or that and we could just as well have five more wins or five more losses so who really knows why we have so many ties.” The trouble has been scor-ing. Tyler David leads the way with five goals and Torbjorn Morkeberg has three.

Both Lakeville North and South head girls soccer coaches weren’t going to rely on how teams were seeded in Section 1AA to deter-mine the favorites. “Everyone beat everyone in the section, so seeds one through eight have a chance,” Lakev-ille North coach Kate Schwartz said. In most sections, the favored teams are easy to pinpoint, but this year Section 1AA doesn’t have one. “Never in my 11 years of doing this have I seen a section where many teams have beaten one another,” Lakeville South coach Dan Flood said. This made for some interesting matchups in the first round. No. 5 Lakeville South trav-eled down to No. 4 seed Rochester Mayo even though the Cougars defeating No. 1 seed Owa-tonna during the regular season. “We were very disappointed with the seed we received as our section record was strong and we played a very tight game against (North) last Saturday,” Flood said. “Sometimes the way the Big Nine teams vote seems a little on the peculiar side.” The first round began on Thursday (the re-sults were unavailable at press time). The win-ners will play on Saturday and the finals are scheduled for Tuesday.
North girls The Panthers entered Section 1AA as the defending champions. Although they lost 12 seniors to graduation, the Panthers played well enough this season to get the No. 2 seed behind Owatonna. “Playing well in the South Suburban Con-ference against tough opponents every night helped our cause in the seeding,” North coach Kate Schwartz said.

the development. “In concept it looks pretty good,” Mielke said. “But we haven’t seen a proposal that’s ready to be turned in to the city or that can start the for-mal processes.” Hosanna’s executive direc-tor Mary Carroll said it was premature to talk about the plans before the congregation votes. But she did point to the church’s website, www.hosan-nalc.org, for more informa-tion about the plans. According to Hosanna, the facility is envisioned to have 20 independent-living units, 47 assisted-living units, 24 memory care units, along with two guest suites. That said, the exact mix is still in flux and could change as plans are finalized, accord-ing to the church. While the facility’s units will likely be market-based and not income-based, Ho-sanna says “a limited amount of units will be available at more affordable rates for those who might otherwise not be able to afford such housing.” Bohline said in his letter to the congregation that the housing facility is designed to be attached to the west end of the 115,000-square-foot church building. The church and the facility will share a covered drop-off and entry-way, and other services, such as a cafeteria, bank, and gen-eral store, he wrote. “There will be countless opportunities for intergenera-tional ministries with our Ho-sanna children visiting and entertaining the residents and the residents coming our way for worship, study, or to vol-unteer,” Bohline said. “It will be a great example of God’s family caring for one anoth-er.” Bohline said a 2009 survey of Hosanna’s congregation found that 75 percent of peo-ple considered ministry with
and for seniors an important initiative. As a result, the church’s Vision Board began talking to potential partners, Boh-line said, and that’s where Ebenezer emerged as the lead partner. Bohline said it was Ebenezer and Pope Architects that created the design con-cept for the 98-unit facility. The church points to an Ebenezer and Maxfield Re-search Inc. study that con-cluded growing demand levels will support the project. Ebenezer began in 1917 as a group of Lutheran churches and has been providing su-perior senior housing and services for more than 90 years. It is also a subsidiary of Fairview Health Services and integrates with Fairview’s physicians, nurse practitio-ners, home health care, and hospice to provide a continu-um of senior care, according to Hosanna. The church itself will not be the developer or the opera-tor of the senior facility, Boh-line said. Hosanna will create a totally separate subsidiary company to participate as a member in the limited liability company owning the project to protect the church from le-gal or financial risk. The church also says the concept doesn’t change Ho-sanna’s plan for another fu-ture expansion. Currently, Hosanna has an average worship attendance of more than 3,875 per week at three services and more than 6,300 baptized members, according to the church. If the congregation ap-proves the project, Hosanna says construction would be-gin in the spring of 2011 with occupancy and move-in pro-jected for summer of 2012. Hosanna is located at 9600 163rd St. W. in Lakeville.

Ragamala Dance has planned a homecoming show of sorts this month at the Burnsville Performing Arts Center. The Minneapolis-based dance company, now one of the premiere dance compa-nies in the nation with the-ater and festival tour dates around the world, was start-ed nearly 20 years ago by Ranee Ramaswamy in the basement of her Burnsville home. Ramaswamy, who moved to the United States from India in 1978, got her start as an artist in Minne-sota by conducting residen-cies in Burnsville schools, and built Ragamala Dance around the idea of mak-
ing the traditional dance of southern India accessible to Americans of all ages. Now, Ragamala will be teaming with Mu Daiko, a St. Paul-based Japanese drumming company, to present “Rhythm of Life,” a blend of music and dance, on Oct. 28 at the Burnsville Performing Arts Center. “Rhythm of Life” is Ragamala’s first public per-formance since its featured role at the Soorya Festival held Oct. 2-10 in Kerala, In-dia. More information about Ragamala Dance is at www.ragamala.net. Mu Daiko is on the Web at www.muper-formingarts.org/mu_daiko.

He said while Ristow doesn’t take the podium as frequently, Pritzlaff takes advantage of the forum. “I believe he’s cam-paigning. I think he’s using this forum as a campaign mechanism,” Larson said, adding later, “I wish he wouldn’t slam other coun-cil members while he’s up there.” Council member Steve Wilson said that night both candidates seemed to be campaigning. “It seems to me they are using the council meeting ... to campaign for their own personal positions as opposed to bringing their message directly to resi-dents,” Wilson said. He added that he has no problem with citizens offering comments critical of the council. But the difference be-tween making comments and campaigning, he said, is to repeatedly raise the same issues, offer no ideas or solutions and make comments directly critical of a council member. During that meeting, Pritzlaff continually asked why the city won’t publicly announce which staff po-sitions are being consid-ered to be cut from the budget. Pritzlaff said he was concerned about employee morale, but Wilson won-dered if his motivation was to gain information to criticize council members. “I find it very uncom-fortable … as council members to be debating and deliberating the status of employees in City Hall when … those affected are fully aware of their situa-tion,” Wilson said. In an interview, Prit-zlaff vehemently denied using the council meetings for political purposes. He cited his consistent presence at city meetings as proof that he’s not on the campaign trail when at the podium. “I’ve attended council meetings and all work-shops for the last two years … how can it be looked at as being political?” he said, adding, “I don’t go up there and say I’m a
Forum/from 1A candidate, I don’t use it as a political platform.” At the meeting, Ristow questioned some members’ past votes and comments that he said appeared to have changed, describing it as a flip flop. Although no comments were directed at her, coun-cil member Julie May called that meeting very uncomfortable, and said she toyed with the idea of quitting. “At that last council meeting we had, I was ready to throw in the tow-el,” she said. May said she couldn’t determine the candidates’ motivations, but thought there was a lack of proto-col and respect that night. “They know better than any other candidates what it is like to sit in that chair, so they need to under-stand we need to respect the public, but they need to respect the council,” she said. Ristow also denied us-ing the meeting to cam-paign, stating that he had legitimate budget concerns and questions to pose. In addition, he said he wanted to attend the pub-lic hearing on a street proj-ect completed in his neigh-borhood. “I think I had every right to be there to state my feelings about my road,” he said. While the board is in-terested in hearing from people, Larson said, he has instituted changes to better manage meetings and address budget issues. He said public com-ment will no longer be taken about the budget during work sessions, and most comments at board meetings will be limited to five minutes. An exception may be made for topics he feels are exceptionally impor-tant, like when a fire de-partment spokesperson recently emphasized the need for fire detectors in the home. “I think we’ve heard everything we need to hear from people that are speaking,” Larson said. “We keep hearing the same

will be purchasing all types of silver and gold coins direct from the public. All types are welcome and the event is free. Collectors will be on hand to identify and sort your coins. Then the quality or grade will be determined. According to collectors I talked with, the better the grade the more they are worth. With the current silver and gold markets, high prices are being paid for older coins too. Any coins minted in 1964 and before in the U.S. are 90% silver except nickels and pennies. The coins worth is determined by the rarity and the grade. Old silver dollars are worth a great premium right now. Even well worn and heavy circulated ones are bringing good premiums. Franklin and Kennedy halves, Washington quarters and Mercury and Roosevelt dimes are all worth many times their face value. While older types like Seated Liberty, Standing Liberties, and Barber coins are worth even more. Gold coins are really worth a lot right now according to Brian Eades of the International Collectors Association. This country didn’t start minting coins until 1792 says Eades. Before that people would trade goods using gold dust and nuggets. Some shop keepers would take more gold than needed to pay for items purchased. There was no uniform system of making change.
mints and began distributing the coins in 1792. By the beginning of the 19th century, coins and paper currency were wide spread and our monetary system was here to stay. In 1933 Roosevelt required all banking institutions to turn in all gold coins. Once all banks turned in this gold, the president raised the gold standard from $20.00 per ounce to $33.00 per ounce. This was his way of stimulating the economy during the great depression. However, gold coins were never redistributed after the recall. Not all gold coins were turned in. Many folks during that time didn’t completely trust the government and chose to keep their gold. These gold coins are sought after by collectors today and bring many times the face value. Any gold coins with the mint marks of CC, D or O will bring nice premiums. Collectors at the event will be glad to show you where to look. Other types of coins will also be purchase including: foreign coins, Indian head cents, two cent pieces, half dimes, three cent pieces and buffalo nickels to name a few.

Rosemount man answers to Dakota County charges
Former Minneapolis cop pleads guilty to armed robberyby Laura Adelmann
THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS
A decorated war veteran and former Minneapolis Po-lice officer has plead-ed guilty to seven counts of armed rob-bery. Timothy Edward Carson, 29, of Rose-mount, was earlier this month sentenced to 10 years in prison for five counts of ag-gravated robbery in Hennepin County. The time will be served concurrently with a previous eight-year sentence he re-ceived for committing armed robbery of an Apple Valley bank in January. On Tuesday, with his crim-inal defense attorney Andrew Small, Carson made his first appearance and entered guilty pleas in Dakota County court on five additional counts of first-degree aggravated rob-bery and two counts of first-degree attempted aggravated robbery. Carson will be sentenced Dec. 14 in Hastings. “We intend to seek appro-priate consequences for this brazen and violent criminal behavior committed by an officer sworn to uphold the law,” said Dakota County At-torney James Backstrom. Previously in court, Car-
son has demonstrated re-morse for his actions, which have been attributed to over-whelming problems including
his wife’s false claims she and their baby daughter had been raped, and that she had fatal leukemia and was undergoing chemotherapy. Carson was also broke, and under pressure as their house was in foreclo-
sure. In addition, the former SWAT team member suffered from brain damage and post-traumatic stress disorder from his service in Iraq, for which he received two medals for bravery and saved the lives of some fellow soldiers. In court testimony, Car-son was said to have snapped, and last November decided to commit robberies and die in a police confrontation so his family could receive $250,000 from his life insurance policy. But on Dec. 15, 2009, when Carson committed his first robbery at a dry cleaning business, there was no police confrontation. Carson’s psychologist tes-tified that he decided to keep going until he was caught, so his family would have money to carry them through until the insurance would pay off
from his death. He robbed various stores and a woman of her ATM card until Jan. 6 when he en-countered an alert Apple Val-ley Police officer. The officer had stopped Carson for no front license plate, and let him go after he said he was a Minneapolis Po-lice officer. As it turned out, Carson was on his way to rob an Ap-ple Valley bank before going to work. He was later identified as the man who burst into the Apple Valley Wells Fargo Bank branch, pointed his gun at three tellers, jumped on the counter and ordered every-one to put their hands up and their heads down. Carson then directed tell-ers to give him money, and he left with $4,580. Soon after the incident, the Apple Valley officer who had stopped Carson earlier was called to the robbery scene. On the way, the officer saw Carson’s vehicle heading away from the bank. Suspicious, he alerted au-thorities. When questioned, Carson offered information that connected himself to 12 unsolved robberies around the metro.

emptiness in people’s hearts, and here, that emptiness is healed by the living hope, Je-sus Christ.” But Bellows acknowledges that Hope is more than just a church. He said a couple hun-dred people pass through the doors every week, many of whom are taking advantage of the dozen or so support groups offering help for dif-ferent addictions, such as nar-cotics and sex addiction, the suicide survivor groups, or the counseling services Bellows and Hope offer. “Sometimes the problem with church is they become a museum where people put on a smiley face and don’t touch real issues,” Bellows said. “But I have a passion for helping people and healthy support groups and counsel-ing is a large part of what we do here.” It’s also why Bellows owns and operates a recovery house that helps transition people coming out of jail back into society. “A lot of this – the support groups, the counseling – it re-ally flowed out of the work I do for the Lakeville Police Department,” Bellows said. “That’s what really started it all.” In addition to his work as a pastor, Bellows has been the Lakeville Police Department’s chaplain for more than 20 years. “Through that I was ex-posed to an awful lot of hurt-ing,” Bellows said. As department chaplain, Bellows performs death no-tifications, or works at death scenes, something he says he’s done more than 500 times. “It’s not a glorious kind of ministry,” Bellows said. “Whether I’m counseling, or I’m inside the hurt and pain in people’s lives, it feels like the
Bellows/from 1A front lines. For me it’s energiz-ing to help people that way – I’ve never wanted a ministry inside of four walls.” And it was the work with the police department that led Bellows to go back to school to get his license as a thera-pist, and why Hope offers so many support options for people. “It allowed me to bring a professional piece to my chaplaincy work,” he said. “I have always had tremendous respect for police officers and I’m honored to be able to work with them.” And no experience in Bel-lows’ time with the police department was more diffi-cult, he said, than the Sept. 1 death of Lakeville Police Sgt. Brigham Strole in a motor-cycle crash. “I was with the guys in a briefing and first on scene. It was so traumatizing,” he said. “But it was a blessing to be able to help work through that process.” Bellows points to his own story as a teenager whose fa-ther died in a car crash as the fuel for his desire to help oth-ers. “It’s a helpless feeling when you show up to a scene knowing life is a lot more complicated than ‘take two Bible verses and call me in the morning,’ ” Bellows said. “But for me, the faith compo-nent in my life is so real that it becomes the world view.”
Running for mayor While Bellows said his de-cision to run for mayor felt like a call to duty, he was orig-inally reluctant. He said he was recruited, in large part, by the business community, because of his fiscally conservative track re-cord, and his interest in better communication. “The answer is not to throw your hands up in frus-tration and disengage from the process,” Bellows said. And the past couple years, Bellows has really been the only council member who took the business communi-ty’s torch, often voicing con-cerns over budgets and taxes and poor communication. Bellows was the only coun-cil member to vote against last year’s tax increase, and who voted against this year’s tax levy. “I do want to see a cultural change in local government that I think I can bring about as mayor,” Bellows said. “The mayor does set the tenor and the tone for meetings and late-ly, I’ve felt a kind of disrespect that I never sensed on the council with mayors (Duane) Zaun or (Robert) Johnson.” But Bellows said he’s not
son to make up for the loss-es, but after a few games it didn’t seem to matter. “The girls knew com-ing in how tough the South Suburban was,” Schwartz said. “I don’t think we even take into account the ages of their opponents. The girls know and understand that every night is going to be a dog fight.” The Panthers felt posi-tive about their chances in the section after defeating Owatonna 3-1 on Oct. 2 – a game Schwartz called one of their best of the season. “We dominated for most of the game and scored three solid goals,” Schwartz said. The goals came from sophomore Alexa Trakalo, junior Simone Kolander and junior Grace Mundt, who are the team’s top scor-ers this season.
South girls The injury bug sunk its teeth into the Cougars in 2010. The girls team saw their leading scorer Brianna Stel-zer suffer a significant knee injury against Burnsville on Sept. 21 that took her out for the year. South has relied on Ra-chel Michelson and Mi-kayla Jacobsen since then, but it was a tough loss to absorb. The team was 5-2-2 at that point, but has since gone 1-5-1. “We have also missed starting players for long stretches due to multiple concussions, broken nose, stress fractures and bad muscle pulls,” coach Dan Flood said. “Keeping in a rhythm is difficult to do when constantly shuffling the lineup.” The Cougars lost their final five games of the regu-lar season, but Flood saw some positives. “Yet with all of that, we are getting healthy and have been playing very well, without getting the results,” Flood said. “Our defense has been stout, not giving up many chances. If we can finish a little better we could be in the mix.” They just never caught a break. “Soccer is a tricky game, you can outplay a team for 80 minutes but get a bad break and lose 1-0 or 2-1,” Flood said.

running against his opponent, current mayor Holly Dahl, so much as running for what he thinks Lakeville needs. “I think city government does a good job at giving out, but does a poor job receiving from others and that frus-trates me,” he said. “I’m here to represent the people that elected me. Not cheerlead the staff. We’re watchdogs, not lap dogs.”
That which ties it all together Bellows says there is a link, a thread, that binds all his work together. “I’m a champion for the underdog,” Bellows said. “Whether it’s a person who feels emptiness, or an addict, or a police officer, or some-one in the community saying, ‘We’re not being heard,’ I rally to that cause.” Bellows may win a may-oral seat on Nov. 2, or he may lose, and step away from the council when his term is up in December. But his work will continue, he said. At Hope, Bellows said, he wants to expand his ability to offer counseling to people by adding another therapist some day. He also said he wants to open another recov-ery house for those in jail to better acclimate to society. At the same time, accord-ing to Bellows, recent studies say 33 percent of police offi-cers now have some form of post-traumatic stress disorder because of the nature of their work. “It’s such a hard profession
and I’m there to be a listening ear,” he said.”When you can integrate the theological piece with the therapy piece as a chaplain and as a pastor … I love the work I do.” For more information about Hope Community Church, visit www.hope-cc.com.

SeniorSeniorSpotlightSpotlight
At one point in the 2008 Oscar-nominated film “Frost/Nixon,” former President Richard Nixon, played by Frank Langella, says, “Re-tired people are the most bored people in the world.” While some retirees might scoff at that remark, others no doubt agree there’s an ele-ment of truth to it. Perhaps boredom is one reason many seniors continue to work past retirement age. According to the Congressio-nal Research Service (CRS), 47 percent of male seniors and 34 percent of female se-niors were employed in 2007. That those figures were from 2007 is significant, as it indi-cates this was before the eco-nomic downturn of 2008-09, a consequence of which was more seniors returning to the workforce. For many seniors, though, working isn’t simply a means to earn money. In fact, seniors who continued working past the age of 70 earned an aver-age of just $20,000 in 2007. Seniors also tend to work to have something to do. For seniors looking to do just that, there are a host of em-ployment or even volunteer opportunities that can help seniors stay busy and possi-bly put a little extra money in their pockets. • Local park service. Many local park services hire seniors to help keep the parks clean. These are often seasonal op-portunities, making them ideal for seniors who live in different cities depending on the seasons. • Golf course. Golf cours-es are other seasonal busi-nesses, at least in much of the country, that also boast lots of part-time opportuni-ties for seniors. For example, golf courses need rangers, who ensure all golfers play by the rules and respect the course, and even maintenance staff, who do everything from
cut the grass to maintain-ing gardens. These can also pull double duty, providing seniors with daily exercise to help them stay healthy. • Volunteer. Many pro-grams that help indigent citizens get by every day wel-come seniors as volunteers. Meal delivery services and other programs that cater to the sick are often in need of a helping hand. • School systems. Local school districts also have vol-unteer opportunities that can be ideal for seniors. Positions such as crossing guard or even helping out with the local ath-letic teams don’t require much of a commitment and can be rewarding and fun for seniors. • Consultant work. Seniors who miss the thrill of business
don’t have to give it up com-pletely simply because they’re retired. Many seniors earn a handsome amount of money by working as consultants, using their vast experience to help the next generation. What’s more, consultants often work on their own schedule, an ideal situation for seniors with a passion for business but an equal passion for the positives of retirement. • Library. Libraries might not be as popular as they once were, but many are still going strong, and some even use volunteers and part-time employees to keep their op-erations running smoothly. Many libraries prefer hiring seniors thanks to their reli-ability and good attitude.
Job opportunities abound for seniors

Senior SpotlightSenior Spotlight Do you have diabetes and not know it? Approximately seven out of 10 adults aged 65 or older have diabetes or pre-diabetes and many don’t know it. Almost half of older Americans with diabetes aren’t aware they have the disease. Fortunately, Medicare has been offering free dia-betes screening to those at risk since 2005. But utilization has been low and many seniors remain undiagnosed. In fact, less than 10 percent of those eligible have taken advan-tage of the tests. That’s why Oscar-win-ner Olympia Dukakis and her husband, actor Louis Zorich, are urging at-risk adults 65 and older to get screened. In partner-ship with Novo Nordisk, a world leader in diabe-tes care, they are spear-heading an educational program known as “Ask.Screen.Know.” The pro-gram encourages people enrolled in Medicare to ask their healthcare pro-viders about free diabe-tes screenings in order to know their blood sugar levels and what actions to take. For Dukakis and her husband, this program hits close to home. Having been married for 47 years, the couple recently got tested and Zorich learned he has type 2 diabetes. “When we learned that less than 10 percent of people with Medicare have taken advantage of the diabetes screening ben-efit, we knew we had to do something,” said Dukakis.
Take advantage of free Medicare diabetes tests“So we joined forces with Novo Nordisk to share our story. We asked, got screened and now know where our health stands relative to diabetes.” With a history of dia-betes in Zorich’s family, the time was right to be screened. “We want to be around for as long as pos-sible for each other, and our family,” said Zorich. “Now that we know I have diabetes, we can manage the disease the right way, by exercising more and eating better.”
Why screen? When your body doesn’t make enough in-sulin or prevents the in-sulin you produce from working properly, this could lead to diabetes. The condition requires that individuals do the work their bodies used to do automatically to maintain the insulin/glu-cose balance. The risk of type 2 diabetes, the most common form of diabetes, increases as you get older, often because people typically exercise
less, lose muscle mass and gain weight as they age. If left undiagnosed or unmanaged, diabetes can lead to blindness, kidney disease, foot amputation, heart disease and stroke. But these issues often can be avoided.
Free screenings Medicare offers free diabetes screening for en-rolled adults 65 and old-er who have at least one risk factor. These factors include family history, high blood pressure, high
cholesterol, obesity and a history of diabetes dur-ing pregnancy. Aside from telling if you have diabetes, these tests also can identify a condition known as pre-diabetes. With pre-diabe-tes, blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. If doctors suspect diabetes in patients with normal fasting blood glu-cose levels, they may rec-ommend an oral glucose tolerance test, which also
is covered by Medicare. To obtain benefit in-formation about the Medicare diabetes screen-ing benefit, learn more about diabetes and pre-diabetes, and keep track of your blood sugar num-bers, visit AskScreen-Know.com. The site even invites users to send personalized e-mails or voicemails from Dukakis to family members and friends, to help spread the word about the free Medicare diabetes screen-ing.
