Write-in wins Farmington council seat Write-in candidate Hoyt and incumbent Bernhjelm top two vote-getters

by Jody Peters SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Farmington residents took the idea of hands-on democracy to heart on Tuesday, electing a write-in City Council candidate and an incumbent.

Incumbent Katie Bernhjelm, who was appointed to finish Council Member Tim Pitcher’s term in 2017, received 18.95 percent of the vote (2,585).

Write-in candidate Joshua Hoyt received 17.05 percent (2,326) of the 13,643 votes cast. Joshua Hoyt Katie Bernhjelm The next closest candidate was separation agreement between the city Phil Windschitl, who received of Farmington and former Police Chief 16.08 percent of the vote (2,194).

There were five other names on the Brian Lindquist.

During an Aug. 20 meeting where the ballot: Nick Gessell, Trina Greene (who withdrew from campaigning because of separation agreement was ultimately apunexpected medical complications), Ja- proved by the council, Hoyt spoke about son Lamberson, Joel Pritchett and Brett a need for greater transparency in the city, and asked residents to vote for him Wilson.

Hoyt, who was originally planning to as a write-in, since the filing period had run for City Council in 2020, decided to closed.

Since then, Hoyt has been active with run for a 2018 seat after learning of the

putting up signs and meeting voters.

He hosted meet and greets with other council candidates and took part in a candidate forum hosted by the Dakota County Regional Chamber of Commerce on Sept.

19.

That grassroots action made all the difference, Hoyt said.

“Growing up in Farmington and having some deep roots helps because you have a relatability factor, but you still have to get out there and do the work. And we did that. We were active. Every single day, there was something that we were doing,” Hoyt said.

After learning the official results Wednesday morning, Hoyt said he feels empowered and humbled that voters rallied behind him.

He and Bernhjelm both said that high property taxes are a recurring issue that voters were concerned with again this year.

Haugen named 2019 Minnesota Superintendent of the Year He was honored by Minnesota Association of School Administrators

by Jody Peters SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Since Jay Haugen became superintendent of District 192 in 2011, he has stressed the importance of student-centered, personalized learning.

Now Haugen is being honored as the Minnesota Association of School Administrators’ 2019 Minne-

sota Superintendent of the Year.

No other Farmington superintendent has been chosen as superintendent of the year since the award’s inception in 1988.

Two other superintendents in the Sun Thisweek and Dakota County Tribune coverage area have won the award: James Rickabaugh of the Burns-

ville-Eagan-Savage District 191 in 1996 and Ben Kanninen, also of District 191, in 2005.

Haugen is a candidate among other state recipients for National Superintendent of the Year, to be announced during the American Association of School Administrators convention held Feb. 1416 in Los Angeles.

Only two Minnesota candidates have been selected as national superintendent of the year: Donald Draayer of Minnetonka Public Schools in 1990 and Kenneth Dragseth of Edina Public Schools in 2003.

Haugen was one of four candidates evaluated by a panel of representatives from a variety of

Opinion Tax benefits noted for military members

by Cynthia Bauerly SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Minnesotans who serve in the armed forces make many sacrifices during – and often after – their service. They, and the families who support and care for them, are vital members of our communities, helping each day to make a better Minnesota. My father served in the Vietnam War, and as I reflect on what he gave in service to our country – what all service members give – I am humbled and grateful. As Veterans Day approaches, we at the Minnesota Department of Revenue want to remember and honor their service and remind veterans and current service members that they may be eligible for Minnesota tax benefits.

The state of Minnesota provides a

Guest Columnist Cynthia Bauerly range of tax benefits for active-duty military members, and those who served in the past. One underused benefit is the Credit for Military Service in a Combat Zone. This credit is available to Minnesota residents who served in a qualifying combat zone or hazardous duty area.

The credit can be claimed up to three and a half years after the due date of their income tax return; meaning military members who had qualifying service in 2015, 2016, and 2017 can still claim the credit.

The credit is worth $120 for each month served in a combat zone or hazardous duty area during the year.

To learn more about the Credit for Military Service in a Combat Zone and the other tax-related benefits, visit the department’s website at www.revenue. state.mn.us and search keyword Military Members. There, one will find information and resources about several taxrelated benefits for veterans and current service members including: • Active-Duty Military Pay Subtraction, which lowers state income taxes for military members who are serving on active duty.

• Military Pension Subtraction, which allows one to subtract certain military retirement pay (including pensions) from Minnesota taxable income.

• Disabled Veterans Homestead Exclusion, which reduces or eliminates the property taxes those with a qualifying disability pay.

• Credit for Past Military Service, which lowers state income taxes for those with a qualifying disability, who served at least 20 years in the military, or receive military retirement pay.

We are proud that thousands of service members and veterans call Minnesota home. These tax benefits are just a few of the ways the state honors their service each year.

Cynthia Bauerly is the commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Revenue.

People are encouraged to ‘Thank a Cop’

by Bill Tschohl SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Our Apple Valley Police Department is very important for all of us. If you have not thanked an Apple Valley Police officer recently, I encourage you to do so.

While we do not hear much about crime in Apple Valley, the officers are busy. For our safety and comfort the officers potentially put their lives on the line for us on a regular basis. Beyond this, often when done with work they involve themselves in community activities. They want our youth to stay on a good path and they assist with a variety of community events throughout the year. This is their way of thanking our community. They love this community so much as we all do.

I have been a resident of Apple Valley since 1979 and understand the importance of a well-run and safe city. During a 39-year career in real estate I’ve sold over 3,000 homes and it was always easy to convince people that this was the place to live. A safe city with a great education

Guest Columnist Bill Tschohl system. My three children were able to grow up in a safe environment. Now with young grandchildren I want them to enjoy the same safety that I and their parents enjoyed. This sense of safety would not be possible without the great leadership of Police Chief Jon Rechtzigel and Capt. Nick Francis and the entire police force.

Our Mayor Mary Hamann-Roland, City Manager Tom Lawell and our City Council members understand the importance of a great police force and the need to provide proper support for them.

Working together they are able to provide protection for our residents.

It is not hard to say, “Thank you.”

They will appreciate hearing from you.

We still have residents who bring thank you cards to the police department.

Some even bring candy, cakes, pies and even prepared turkeys. It is all appreciated by the officers and support staff.

The police department is located at 7100 147th St. W., Apple Valley.

A few years ago, a very generous individual wanted to see more appreciation for our police department and provided a large quantity of bumper or window stickers, which read: #THANK A COP, Apple Valley Police Department. About 1,000 have been installed on cars and home windows by supporters. It would be great to see everyone using the stickers on their car bumpers to show support for the Apple Valley Police Department.

If you would like one of the stickers, please stop by at the Apple Valley Police Department. They will be pleased to accommodate you.

In 2013, CNN Money Magazine said we are the 17th Best City in the Nation in which to live and work. Many of our residents feel we are No. 1 and look forward to continuing this feeling by showing support for our unsung police officers who are our heroes. A superior

police force loved by the community is very important when Money Magazine ranks cities. We all know our Apple Valley Police Department is the best as they do so much to make Apple Valley a great city in which to live and work.

Mayor Mary said this is “one of the safest hometowns in America.”

The least we can do for the Apple Valley Police Department is thank them for all they do for everyone in Apple Valley.

They protect our city and continue to make it a better place in which to live and work even with some difficult challenges they face in their work. We appreciate them as they truly are there for us. As we prepare for a Happy Thanksgiving with our family remember them for making our families safe. Any kind words you extend to them will be deeply appreciated.

Kindly remember to “thank a cop.”

Shake-up on the Rosemount City Council Challengers Block, Essler unseat incumbents

by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Two newcomers won seats on the Rosemount City Council after the election Tuesday.

Tammy Block (31 percent) and Paul Essler (28 percent) defeated both incumbents to win four-year terms on the City Council.

Mayor Bill Droste also won another four years.

He was unopposed.

Block and Essler defeated Shaun Nelson, a one-term council member who had 17 percent of the vote, and Mark DeBettignies, a four-term council member who had 22 percent of the vote.

Block said it’s still sinking in the day after the election.

“Knowing that I received the most votes was unexpected,” Block said.

Essler, though, said he wasn’t surprised.

“When I was out knocking on doors, I heard pretty consistently that everybody was sick of going to Eagan and Apple Valley to shop,” Essler said. “They don’t want to have to go outside the community to shop. I don’t know if the

Paul Essler

Tammy Block

current City Council put enough emphasis on that.”

Block and Essler said they partnered together early in the campaign.

“It was a grassroots effort between Paul and myself,” Block said. “We got out the map. We hit every single neighborhood. We just talked to people. We wanted to hear what they had to say. Just to listen.

And that’s something we want to continue. We want to hold regular, openhouse forums. I haven’t always seen that with the current City Council.”

Essler said they found that they had a similar platform and much of it was based on what they were hearing from resi-

dents.

“Our platform,” Essler said. “It seemed to resonate.”

Block said she heard a lot about a lack of progress in Rosemount specifically in economic development.

“A lot of people want more businesses,” Block said. “We lost our hardware store last summer.

Now if I’m doing some painting, I have to go to Apple Valley or Eagan.

People want more places to take their family like restaurants. They want more things for their kids to do. ... They want to live in Rosemount, but they don’t shop or eat or do any recreation in Rosemount.”

Block said one of the first items she would like to do when she’s seated in January is find out why some businesses, which initially wanted to come to Rosemount changed their mind.

“We don’t believe in just accepting businesses that want to come in,” Essler said. “But, we need to be more focused and aggressive in finding the businesses residents want.”

Block said she would look into offering smallor no-interest loans. She said as someone who has led nonprofits, while Rosemount has a strong balance sheet, there are opportunities for reinvestment.

“There was a brewery that wanted to come in, but the building needed some refurbishing,” Block said. “A small business loan may have helped bring them in.”

Essler said it’s going to take some patience.

“We have to plan for it,” Essler said.

Essler cited a desire to develop a stronger master plan and continue to survey residents to help shape the future of Rosemount.

“I know the city has been working on its comprehensive plan for a while, but my vision is more detailed,” Essler said. “Everyone should weigh in.

The City Council should study what the community wants and what it will support.”

Essler praised the City Council’s ability to keep property taxes low, but if they invest back into the community, property values will rise.

Block is passionate about energizing downtown. She said she wants to look at improving parking and look into a public gathering space.

Block also noted that she would like to bring more businesses and amenities like a golf course to UMore Park, “not just housing.” “(UMore) is a great opportunity and if we just build houses, we’re missing some of the opportunities,” Block said.

She also wanted to take into account the environmental impact of all the housing.

Essler would like to forge a stronger partnership with School District

196.

While the city doesn’t have authority over the school district, “we need to be at the table to influence the decisions being made there,” he said.

Essler was the president of the Rosemount Area Athletic Association for four years before running for City Council.

He said he will continue to advocate for RAAA and the youth of Rosemount while on the City Council.

“I will continue to be pretty vocal for the youth of the community,” Essler said. “I think we’re already behind on our facilities. We’re at the mercy of District 196 a little bit, who provides the bulk of our facilities. But I felt the current City Council passed that all off to District 196. I think there’s an opportunity with Hope Fieldhouse. There’s a lot of things we could do. ...

I do think the Rosemount youth has been shorted.”

Both will be sworn in during the first meeting of 2019.

Garofalo, who was first elected in 2004, was confident that he would retain his seat. He noted that during the last election, he received the highest percentage of any partisan candidate in Dakota County.

“I don’t think I’ve done anything that would merit a different reaction from voters,” Garofalo said.

When asked what he attributes his most recent victory to, Garofalo deadpanned, “I would say I would attribute it to the fact that I got more votes than my opponent,” before elaborating.

“I think our area is

Craig helps Democrats take the U.S. House Former St. Jude Medical executive wins rematch

by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A host of DFL candidates won statewide races and ousted two incumbent Republican U.S. House members on election night.

Democratic candidate Angie Craig of Eagan held slight edges over U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis, R-Woodbury, who was seeking a second term, throughout the night, but eventually pulled away with a 52.65 to 47.15 advantage.

She was declared the winner at about 10:30 p.m. after which she thanked supporters who had gathered at the Lone Oak Grill in Eagan.

Craig said the campaign was about providing affordable health care, creating jobs, and supporting education.

“This campaign has always been about what we’re fighting for in this country,” Craig told supporters. “What we’re fighting for is quality affordable health care for every single American. It’s about jobs and job skills for every person in this country. It’s been about taking dark, anonymous money out of our politics.”

Her win helped Democrats regain control of the U.S. House. It hasn’t held a majority in that chamber since 2010.

“It’s been about listening and showing up,” Craig said. “It’s about decency and civility. It’s about working together to try to find common ground and actually govern in this country.”

Craig campaigned on support for the Affordable Care Act, but fixing it to stabilize the governmentrun insurance market for those who need insurance that’s not employer provided.

She also held several business roundtables in the 2nd District to hear from employers about the challenges they face in recruiting and training new employees.

“The difference between 2016 and 2018 is how intensely I’ve listen to many of you,” Craig said.

“You made me a better candidate. You asked me to listen to your stories and I did,” she said. “And I will take that to the United States Congress.

“I intend to be the kind of representative who listens to everyone,” Craig

said. “If we don’t look for common ground in this country we’re never going to find it. So we have to try and that’s the kind of representative I’m going to be.”

Craig criticized Lewis for not holding more town hall style meetings in the district.

Earlier this year, Lewis held three town halls in the district in one day. The events required pre-registration that was criticized.

Lewis said the process was needed in order to keep the events safe and free of incident. His office reported that Lewis received a threat prior to the town halls.

Craig pledged that if she was elected she would hold monthly town hall style meetings in the district.

Immunization clinics set Residents who are uninsured or whose insurance does not cover vaccines, including the flu shot, can receive immunizations at upcoming Dakota County Public Health immunization clinics.

“I’m honored, I’m humbled, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to represent our district. I will never forget where I come from and who I work for,” Craig said in a statement.

Lewis, a longtime political radio talk show host, ran on a platform that the Tax Cut and Jobs Act has stimulated the economy, that more money is need-

ed for border security, and that a repeal of the Affordable Care Act is needed.

Craig, a former vice president of human resources for St. Paul-based St. Jude Medical, is the first Democrat to represent the 2nd District since redistricting in 2002 put all of Dakota County in 2nd.

“Tonight, 2nd District voters sent a clear message that they are ready for a leader who will break through the partisan gridlock in Washington and get results for Minnesota families,” Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) Party Chairman Ken Martin said in a statement. “Angie ran a positive campaign focused on the issues Minnesota families care about, and I can’t wait to see what she’ll accomplish for us in Congress.”

It was big night for female candidates across the state and nation.

Women were elected to fill both Minnesota U.S. Senate seats and many other House and Senate seats across the nation.

Many of those women were also from diverse

backgrounds. Craig, who is married to wife Cheryl and is the mother of four boys, will be the first lesbian to represent Minnesota in Congress, as well as the first openly LGBTQ mother to serve in Congress.

“Angie is a proven leader for LGBTQ families and her fight for custody of her son in 2000 led to a landmark ruling which made it possible for other samesex couples to adopt,” said Stephanie Schriock, president of Emily’s List, a political action committee that supports pro-choice Democratic women candidates. “She is a champion for equality, a fighter for health care, and an ally who will not back down when it comes to standing up against the disastrous GOP agenda.”

The 2nd District includes Dakota County, Scott, Goodhue, and Wabasha counties, along with part of northern and eastern Rice County, and southern Washington County.

Huot defeats incumbent Rep.Wills in 57B race

by Patty Dexter

come more compliant with the federal tax code.

Wills also said that health care and education were some of the top issues she heard about. Some reforms have been made to health care, but lawmakers have not gone as far as they would like, so people are still dealing with high premiums.

“Not everybody experienced relief from the reforms we passed,” she said.

The Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District is a draw for a lot of people to move into the district, so education frequently came up when Wills asked families what issues were most important to them, she said.

Both candidates indicated that they thought their campaigns had gone well.

Huot thanked the community for reception he got from members of both political parties and the discussions he had with different people.

“In the toxic environment I’d like to say 95 percent of the district rose above that. I really was welcomed to many homes,” he said.

Wills said she had fun and got a positive response while knocking on doors.

“I’ve really enjoyed working on behalf of the district the last six years,” Wills said.

SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A 2016 rematch for the House District 57B seat in 2018 has ended with different result.

DFL candidate John Huot of Rosemount defeated incumbent Republican Rep. Anna Wills of Rosemount by a close margin to take the House seat on Tuesday, getting 11,208 votes or 51.9 percent. Wills got 10,377 votes or 48.06 percent.

There were nine votes (0.04 percent) for write-in candidates.

In 2016, Wills had defeated Huot by a margin of 53.6 to 46.1 percent. She has held the seat since 2012. Huot said this year’s close margin indicates a divided district and his votes just happened to come out on top.

“I need to thank her for her dedication and hard work that she’s done over the years. I, in no way, think this is a referendum on her. I think it’s just a way of the times,” Huot said. “I think that’s why we prevailed; I think people are just ready for a change. It wasn’t anything she did wrong.”

District 57B includes a portion of northern Apple Valley, Rosemount and Coates.

Both candidates said they had planned to spend Tuesday evening waiting for results at home with their families. Huot joined other DFL supporters at the Dakota County United Educators Union office in Apple Valley later in the evening when the race appeared to be going in

his favor.

When asked about what issues resonated with voters, Huot said that education and health care frequently came up during his interactions with voters. People have noticed the higher deductibles when they have to use their health insurance coverage. People were specifically concerned about the anticipated funding deficit the Rosemount-Apple ValleyEagan School District will be facing, Huot said.

“That’s something that’s going to affect all the taxpayers in the district,” he said.

Huot said he planned to look at education funding when he begins his new term next Patty Dexter can be reached at patyear, and work on the tax code ty.dexter@ecm-inc.com. depending on what work needs to be done for the state to be-

The Strano family moved from Las Vegas to their Farmington home in February 2018, and built the library as a way to connect with their new community. Strano has since expanded his project: he installed a full-sized TARDIS library ahead of Halloween. The new library is large enough for patrons to walk in to leave a book or take a book. For more information about the Little Free Library, visit www.facebook.com/FarmingtonMNLittleFreeLibraryTARDIS.

100 YEARS LATER

By RACHEL ANDERSON Contributing Writer

When word reached the Twin Cities 100 years ago—on Nov. 11, 1918—that Germany had formally surrendered and the Great War (World War I) had finally come to an end, people spilled into the streets of downtown Minneapolis to celebrate.

The Minneapolis Journal reported in its Nov. 11 edition that, “A big siren tore the midnight silence, with a roar and a series of crescendo shrieks echoing from the hills of Columbia Heights to the lowlands of the Minnesota Valley. Victory had been achieved and the boys were coming back from over there.”

But for many in the Twin Cities and throughout Minnesota, the victory celebrated on Armistice Day—what was later renamed Veterans Day—was bittersweet.

Yes, the troops were coming home, but greeting them would be what historian and Star Tribune columnist Curt Brown calls the “trident of woe.” Things were not good on the Homefront.

In his most recent book, “Minnesota, 1918: When Flu, Fire, and War Ravaged the State,” published by the Minnesota Historical Society Press, Brown writes about the series of devastating events that put communities to the test, forcing them to persevere through untold hardship. “It

A look back at what was happening in the Twin Cities on Armistice Day

was really a triple whammy that hit the state in 1918,” said Brown. “You had war, fire and flu coming together in what was probably the worst year in Minnesota history since the Dakota War of 1862.”

“While World War I is remembered by many for the horrors of trench warfare and mustard gas, the flu pandemic that year really proved more deadly for Minnesotans,” said Brown. While 1,432 Minnesotans were killed on the battlefields, an additional 3,758 soldiers were struck down by the influenza pandemic, which left more than 10,000 dead in Minnesota alone.

While researching his book, Brown discovered the flu pandemic is believed to have started on a farm in Kansas where the illness jumped from a pig to a young man, who a short time later reported to a military base. According to the Centers for Disease Control, it is estimated that 500 million people, or one-third of the world’s population at the time, became infected with the virus. The number of deaths worldwide was estimated to be at least 50 million.

“Also in 1918, there was the worst natural disaster in Minnesota history to deal with,” says Brown. The Cloquet-Moose Lake-Duluth fires of 1918 killed more than 450 people, left thousands homeless, and scorched 1,500 square miles of land.

There is a story in Brown’s book about a large Swedish family up near Moose Lake.

“They were all worried about their son, David, fighting in the War, but he ended up being the only one to survive. When he came home the entire family had been wiped out in the Cloquet-Duluth-Moose Lake fires.”

Brown also reports that funerals held for fallen soldiers, and also for those killed by the fires, had to be private and done right away to keep people safe. “Usually the flu affects the very young and the very old, but people who were in their 20s—soldier age—were dying at an alarmingly high rate,” said Brown. “Schools, churches and movie theaters were all shut down due to the flu. People were afraid to go out.”

As if the disasters in Minnesota weren’t enough to contend with, there was also the anti-German/anti-immigrant feeling tearing communities apart. “In New Ulm, the anti-immigrant sentiment was really causing trouble,” said Brown. “The governor actually threw the mayor and city attorney out of office because they were suspected of being too pro-German. The Germania Bank of St. Paul changed its name; a German guy was tarred and feathered.”

Despite it all, there were some good thing to report about those times too, like the story of a nurse in Minneapolis who went above and beyond the call of duty.

THANK YOU Thank you, VETERANS! veterans.

“One of my favorite stories in the book is about a young nursing student at the University of Minnesota, who worked in a pediatric ward that was overwhelmed with sick kids,” explained Brown.

“The protocol of the day was you had to wear a white mask, a white outfit, and a white cap, but on her first day—she wrote a great essay about it—she stripped off her mask and cuddled these kids and said they responded great. Three days later a medical intern surprised her. He walked into the nursery during the overnight shift and said, ‘What are you doing?’ She said, ‘Well, I’m just trying to make these kids comfortable,’ and the guy said, ‘Well, is there a second rocking chair?’”

Minnesotans also provided for each other both during and in the aftermath of the terrible fires of 1918. Members of the Minnesota Home Guard, a volunteer organization created to ensure public safety and protect citizens’ lives and property, fought the fire. They also provided first aid and buried the dead.

More information about life in Minnesota around the time of Armistice Day can be found in the Minnesota Historical Society Press Book, “Minnesota, 1918: When Flu, Fire, and War Ravaged the State,” which is available for purchase online and in bookstores throughout the state.

Sports One more time on the awards stand Tigers’ Peterson, Fenske take 2nd, 3rd at state cross country

by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

It looked familiar when Lauren Peterson and Anna Fenske appeared on an awards podium together. And it should; they have replayed this scene for several years at cross country and track and field meets.

But when it happened again Saturday it was a little emotional because it was the last time on the podium for them as Farmington High School cross country teammates.

“I can’t believe it’s over now and I won’t be coming back next year,” said Peterson, a senior who finished second in the Class AA girls race at St. Olaf College. Tigers senior Anna Fenske placed third, and the two helped guide Farmington to fourth in the Class AA team competition, the school’s highest finish ever in a state girls meet.

“We were one and two a couple years ago (in 2016), and to get two and three the final year is exciting,” said Peterson, who will run at Furman University next year. Peterson and alternate Anna Palodichuk were the only seniors in the Tigers’ state meet lineup.

Equally as exciting, Peterson said, was the opportunity to help put Farmington girls cross country on the map. Peterson and Fenske were around for three of the four best state meet finishes in school history. Farmington was eighth in the Class AA

Peterson was runner-up to Emily Covert of Minneapolis Washburn, with Farmington sophomore Anna Fenske placing third. (Right) Farmington’s Noah Revels competes in the Class AA boys race. The Tigers were 12th in the team standings. meet in 2015, tying an eighth-place finish in the 1984 Class A meet, before finishing sixth in 2017 and fourth this year.

Four of Farmington’s top 10 runners are seventh-graders, including Mariah Fenske (Anna’s sister) and Lilyen Peterson (Lauren’s sister).

“I love having team goals with individual goals,” said Lauren Peterson, who will be one of the state’s top distance

runners in track and field in the spring. “I think it makes the sport a lot more exciting to have a group of girls running at such a high level.”

This was the fourth year the state girls meets were 5,000 meters. Peterson’s time of 17 minutes, 28.8 seconds was the second fastest ever run in a 5K Class AA race. The fastest was the 17:03.4 run Saturday by Minneapolis Washburn senior Emily Covert, who won her second consecutive state championship.

“I wanted to try to go for the state title but I knew Emily was going to be really tough,” Peterson said. “The first mile I just tried to hang back a little bit, then push it the second mile and see what I had left the third mile, but it wasn’t quite enough.”

Peterson raced in the state cross country meet six times. She finished 131st as a seventh-grader, but after that was never out of the top 12. That includes second-place finishes in 2016 (when Anna Rosemount senior Luke Labatte (right) finished seventh Fenske finished first) and in the Class AA boys cross country meet, earning All- 2018.

Fenske has been dealState honors for the second consecutive year.

ing with an iron deficiency this fall and said the Section 1AA meet (where she finished second to Peterson) was the first time all season she felt close to 100 percent. “That really gave me a big confidence boost,” she said.

Fenske lunged ahead of Wayzata junior Emma Atkinson just before the finish to take third in 17:54.1.

“Going up that (last) hill, I heard people say, ‘She’s right there. You’ve got to go.’ That’s probably one of the hardest hills I’ve gone up,’” Fenske said.

It’s the third consecutive top-three finish at state for Fenske, who was second to Covert in 2017 after winning the 2016 championship.

Mariah Fenske, a seventh-grader, earned All-State recognition by finishing 19th in 18:30.6.

Sophomore Laura McGregor was 52nd in 19:01.9. Seventh-grader Marianah Scott also counted toward the Tigers’ team score by finishing 78th in 19:26.0. Maleah Scott placed 105th and Lilyen Peterson was 133rd for the Tigers.

Farmington scored 105 points, just missing out on a team trophy. St. Michael-Albertville (70 points), Wayzata (75) and Edina (87) were the top three.

The Tigers won South Suburban Conference and Section 1AA championships earlier this season.

“We’ve had a decent team but not this good, this competitive,” Anna Fenske said. “It’s fun to have that great of a team.

They’re still young, so they have so many more years. It was just their first year and it’s already been amazing.”

Farmington was 12th in the Class AA boys team competition with 263 points. State champion Edina scored 88 points, 11 fewer than second-place Mounds View.

Juniors Aaron Kruse (44th, 16:19.8) and Noah Revels (48th, 16:21.9) led the Tigers. Brennen Peterson (92nd, 16:44.9), senior Nolan Levack (122nd, 17:02.7) and senior Regan Sevenich (131st, 17:08.3) also counted toward the team score. Senior Trevor LaVigne finished 171st for the Tigers.

Irish’s Labatte 7th Rosemount senior Luke Labatte earned All-State for the second consecutive year by finishing seventh in the Class AA boys race in 15:40.4. Roseville senior Acer Iverson won the race in 15:14.8, six-tenths of a second ahead of Andrew Brandt of Wayzata.

Labatte ran 15:40.8 in the 2017 state meet, except then it was good for third place. Earlier this season he was medalist in the South Suburban Conference and Section 1AA. Rosemount placed 11th in the Class AA girls team competition. All seven of the girls who raced at state for the Irish were juniors or younger including seventh-grader Daisy Islas, who placed 29th individually in 18:43.3.

Sophomore Avery Leppones (83rd, 19:27.7), sophomore Makayla Bishop (85th, 19:32.0), eighthgrader Taylor Heimerl (97th, 19:41.1) and junior Kate Beckwith (101st, 19:42.1) completed Rosemount’s top five. Sophomores Lucy Jagoe (149th) and Abby McNeil (156th) also raced at state for the Irish.

Turnovers trouble Rosemount in playoff loss Minnetonka holds on for 13-10 victory

by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Turnovers, or the lack thereof, often decide playoff games. That proved painfully true for Rosemount last Friday.

The Irish committed three of them, one of which set up a Minnetonka touchdown and the other preventing a Rosemount score, as they fell to the Skippers 13-10 in a Class 6A playoff game.

It’s the second consecutive year the Irish (7-3) lost to Minnetonka in the second round of the playoffs.

Minnetonka (6-4) took a 13-0 lead and held on at Irish Stadium, thanks in large part to two secondhalf interceptions.

Minnetonka scored in the first quarter, with a 7-yard halfback pass from Mitch Klass to Trent Hol-

lings completing the drive.

In the second quarter the Skippers recovered a fumble inside the Rosemount 30, leading to Aaron Syverson’s 8-yard touchdown pass to Jackson Owens.

Rosemount responded just before halftime when Jake Ratzlaff took a lateral from quarterback Trevor Amborst and threw a 47-yard touchdown pass to a wide-open Christian Graske. Nathan Whiting added a 24-yard field goal in the third quarter.

The Irish had a couple more opportunities, but one ended with Raheem Brown’s interception at the Skippers’ 1. Another Brown interception in the fourth quarter ended Rosemount’s final chance.

Rosemount outgained Minnetonka 276-197 and held the Skippers to 12 yards rushing, but the turnovers were costly.

Even though the Irish scored only 10 points, they never punted, with two possessions resulting in

scores, three others ending on the turnovers and two more resulting in loss of possession on downs.

Minnetonka’s offense came through the air as Syverson completed 19 of 23 passes for 178 yards.

Rosemount’s Amborst completed 15 of 25 passes for 116 yards. Andrew Reuter had nine catches for 79 yards and Jonathan Mann caught three for 41 yards.

Garrison Green led Rosemount in rushing with 81 yards on 20 carries.

Graske, a sophomore running back, had two carries for 25 yards in addition to his 47-yard touchdown catch.

The Irish lost their first two games to Wayzata and Edina before winning seven in a row. Rosemount’s three losses were by 15 points combined.

Cougars ride the wave into state quarterfinals Once 1-5, Lakeville South now is one of last 8 teams in Class 6A playoffs

by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

In just a few weeks, Lakeville South’s football program went from another rebuilding season to something radically different – and from the Cougars’ perspective, much more exciting.

Instead of hoping to win one playoff game, the Cougars are taking a “Why not us?” approach to the postseason as one of the teams still standing in the Class 6A tournament. At 5-5, Lakeville South has the worst record of the eight Class 6A survivors, but the Cougars are convinced they have become a team nobody is anxious to play.

Four of the five South victories have come in the last four weeks, including road games against Cretin-Derham Hall and Champlin Park in the first two rounds of the playoffs.

South, which has reached the state quarterfinal round for the first time since 2010, plays Woodbury (9-1) at 7 p.m. Friday at Osseo High School.

South players and coaches say they want to keep the focus on this week’s game, but it’s impossible to ignore what could be down the road if

If Lakeville South and Lakeville North win their quarterfinal games, their fans would get the opportunity to blow the roof off U.S. Bank Stadium, where the teams would meet in the semifinals Nov. 16. Lakeville North (10-0) takes on St. Michael-Albertville (7-3) in a Class 6A quarterfinal Friday night at TCO Stadium in Eagan.

For now, though, the Cougars are savoring a

playoff run that seemed improbable as recently as Oct. 5, when they lost to Rosemount 31-15 to drop to 1-5.

“The South program had been known for being down for a while. It’s suffered in recent years,” said senior captain and two-way standout Jared Stewart. “Making that turnaround is important for our seniors. I take a lot of pride in it. It’s my last season of high school football, so going to state

is huge for me. I always dreamed about it. It’s big for me and I know it is for my friends.”

Even when the Cougars lost five out of six, they still believed they were laying the groundwork for success, coach Tyler Krebs said. The winning streak has cemented that belief.

“As long as we keep playing the way we have the last few weeks we can play with anybody,” Krebs said. “Every game it comes down to a few plays, and if

we keep making them we can keep going for another couple weeks.”

The obvious difference between the Lakeville South team that was 1-5 and the Cougars team that has won its last four is offense. Lakeville South scored just 63 points in its first six games, almost half of which came in a victory over an Eagan team that went winless.

South averaged 47 points in its last four games, including a 43-34 victory at Champlin Park on Nov. 2 in the Class 6A second round. The Cougars gained 481 yards, including 418 on the ground, against a Rebels team that won seven games.

At some point after introducing its new T-formation attack, South went from having trouble reaching the end zone to being a team that was tough to keep out of the end zone.

“I think it’s a lot of little things that came together,” Krebs said. “We played a really tough schedule the first half of the year. Then the sched-

ule became easier for a couple of games, we had success, and that success kind of snowballed. Making a change at quarterback (Reid Patterson took over for George Brekke, who switched to tight end) has opened up the offense for us. And we have great assistant coaches who have continued to coach our guys and they’ve gotten better.”

Two South running backs gained more than 100 yards against Champlin Park. Senior Tavian Laden had 176 yards on 25 carries and three touchdowns. Junior Johnny Shabaz gained 107 yards on nine carries and scored once. Stewart rushed for 80 yards on 14 carries and had two touchdowns.

Stewart also ran for three two-point conversions.

Stewart and defensive back Grant Scheuermann led the South defense with 10 tackles each, while Daniel Attoh and Josh Loveless made nine stops each.

Correction Rosemount girls cross country runners Daisy Islas and Taylor Heimerl were misidentified in photo captions in last week’s edition. The two captions were inadvertently transposed. The Dakota County Tribune regrets the error.

18A Nov. 8, 2018 DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE HAUGEN, from 1A School District.

The award is an honor because recipients are selected by the people they work with and the communities they serve, Amoroso added.

“It’s a very high honor, and (Haugen) is an extremely well-deserving recipient,” Amoroso said.

Background Haugen is in his eighth year as District 192 superintendent, and in his 23rd year as a Minnesota superintendent.

He was previously superintendent of Sleepy Eye Public Schools and West St. Paul-Mendota Heights-Eagan Area Schools.

He has been involved in various MASA committees and served on the MASA Board of Directors from 2012-15 and as MASA president from 2013-14.

Haugen is a member of different Farmington community organizations, including the Farmington Rotary, Lions Club, Farmington Business Association, Dakota County Chamber of Commerce and the Farmington Development Committee.

Over the years, Haugen has received awards like the MASA Richard Green Scholar Award and the MinnSPRA Star Award: District Leadership for Excellence in Communication.

Though he has received numerous awards recognizing his work in educa-

Jay Haugen tion, Haugen said he was amazed to hear that he was named Minnesota Superintendent of the Year.

“They let you know if you’re one of them in the running … but you never really think it’s going to be you,” Haugen said.

In a press release submitted by MASA, the organization noted Haugen’s work in establishing a student-centered education system through the district’s strategic plan and creating flexible learning spaces.

Creating a new design for education is something that Haugen speaks about frequently. He has helped establish initiatives like the high school’s flexible schedule and building innovative spaces in each school.

He said he’s excited

because this award presents an opportunity to share more a b o u t those types of initiatives.

“I think it’s in some ways an acknowledgment that the Fa r m i n g ton School District is (heading) in the right direction.

So I’m excited … there’s a lot of speaking engagements that come with this, and I get to go out and talk about Farmington and the work of the Farmington School District,” Haugen said.

Leading District 192 Haugen said he wants the district to keep moving down a path of innovation.

He said a simple but powerful idea is at the heart of Farmington’s education system: all students have unique strengths and should be supported in developing their talents. “(Farmington Schools are) trying to make sure every student has their passion in school at some point so they can learn and be supported in the things that are their worthy purpose. And so it just

tickles me at the thought that we’re moving down this road,” Haugen said.

Haugen said one of his proudest accomplishments during his time as Farmington’s superintendent has been bringing the school system to a place where it completely trusts staff.

“The things we get wrong in education over and over is we think we can tell people what to do and how to do it, and that just never works. In the end, it’s our staff on the ground, in their classrooms with students, that know best.

“We call it unleashing our staff. We have a system where our staff are really 100 percent trusted to move towards our strategic direction and to take those steps. We never force what to do and how to do it on anyone. And because of that, we just see incredible change towards what our strategic plan is,” Haugen said.

Examples of this trust in staff include the building of innovative spaces.

In June 2017, staff from across the district met with 18 architects from Wold Architects and Engineers.

They explained what they wanted to accomplish in their classrooms, and worked with the architects to identify underused spaces in the schools.

At the start of this school year, each school unveiled innovative spaces, from a new weight room at the high school to a redesigned library at Meadowview Elementary

School.

That was possible by listening to staff, Haugen said. The renovations cost about $2 million but recaptured an estimated $10 million of space.

Community involvement

in our schools is service: making sure that all students have the opportunity to provide service and design service that they want to provide to others.

That’s uniquely Farmington,” Haugen said.

Looking at what he’s accomplished so far, Haugen said his ultimate vision for District 192 is to continue serving the unique needs of every student.

The way he envisions getting there is by doing what has already been done: “We inspire people with what we’re after and provide support and we get out of their way,” he said.

He added that he sees more change happening year to year in District 192 than he’s ever seen in a school district, and it’s all led by staff.

But perhaps more exciting for Haugen is the fact that students are becoming more involved in their own learning, he said.

“They’re starting to understand that they can advocate for, ask about, even demand of us, some of their own learning pathways.

“As our students and families get more and more into this idea that they can ask for a personalized approach to education, I think that’s just going to continue to provide the energy that we need to keep changing in this direction,” Haugen said.

Other accomplishments are possible by listening to students and the community as a whole, he said.

The school district sends out surveys on an annual to biennial basis to get community feedback, and Haugen has been known to host town hall style forums.

Through that kind of community engagement, and through his involvement in local organizations, Haugen said he has learned about Farmington’s values, particularly how service-minded the community is.

“It’s so natural that when you grow up in Farmington or live in Farmington, you see a big part of your role as serving others. I’ve never been in a community where that’s at as high a level or as widespread,” Haugen said.

He cited efforts like the community-wide hurricane relief efforts and the hundreds of people who attend the annual Patriotic Day celebration as examples of how “Farmington shows up.”

He added that he has taken that service-minded mentality into consideration at the school district Jody Peters can be reached at jody.peters@ecm-inc.com. level.

House balance tilts to DFL Close races watched on election night

by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

In past election cycles, the House and Senate seats in the Sun Thisweek and Dakota County Tribune coverage area have helped swing the balance of power in the respective chambers.

Prior to Election Day 2018, Republicans held five House seats to the DFL’s three in the south suburban Twin Cities coverage area.

The DFL defeated three incumbent Republican House members and won an open seat in the local area, helping the party regain control of the chamber by swinging 18 districts statewide.

The only open seat in House District 57A, which covers portions of Apple Valley and Lakeville, was being contested by Repub-

lican Matt Lundin, a Realtor from Lakeville; DFL candidate Robert Bierman of Apple Valley, who owns a Northfield furniture business with his family; and Apple Valley resident Matthew Swenson of the Libertarian Party.

The open seat was vacated by one-term state Rep. Erin Maye Quade, DFL-Apple Valley, who was the gubernatorial running mate of Erin Murphy. They lost in the DFL primary to the Tim WalzPeggy Flanagan ticket.

According to unofficial returns, Bierman had won the seat with a 54.53 to 42.2 advantage over Lundin. Swenson finished with 3.2 percent.

The flipped seats included: House District 56A — State Rep. Drew Christensen, R-Burnsville, was defeated by DFLer Hunt-

er Cantrell, Burnsville, 52.74 to 47.13 percent.

House District 56B — State Rep. Roz Peterson, R-Lakeville, was defeated

by DFLer Alice Mann, Lakeville, 52.64 to 47.28 percent.

House District 57B — State Rep. Anna Wills, RRosemount, was defeated by the DFL’s John Huot, Rosemount, 51.90 to 48.06 percent.

Incumbents won the rest of the seats in the coverage area.

They included: House District 51A — State Rep. Sandra Masin, DFL-Eagan, defeated Republican Jim Kiner, Burnsville, 61.42 to 38.52 percent.

House District 51B — State Rep. Laurie Halverson, DFL-Eagan, defeated Republican Douglas Willetts, Eagan, 62.18 to 37.74 percent.

House District 58A — State Rep. Jon Koznick, R-Lakeville, defeated DFLer Maggie Williams, Lakeville, 55.68 to 44.25 percent.

House District 58B — State Rep. Pat Garofalo, R-Farmington, was being challenged by DFLer Marla Vagts, Farmington, 58.72 to 41.18 percent.

The results were reflective of a strong showing for the DFL Party in Minnesota.

The DFL won all the statewide races for governor, attorney general, secretary of state, auditor and two U.S. Senate seats.

It is possible that the high turnout and support for DFL candidates at the top of the ballot filtered down to the state House.

The DFL has held some of the local House seat’s geographic areas before, though they have been

held mostly by Republicans since 2000. House boundary lines were redrawn in 2012.

Former state Rep. Phil Sterner represented the Rosemount-Apple Valley area for one term from 2009-2010 (District 37B) and Shelley Madore served the Apple Valley area from 2007-2008 (District 37A).

Former state Rep. Will Morgan also represented the general area of House District 56B in the Burnsville area from 2007-2010 (District 40A), and House 2013-2014 (District 56B).

But other than those blips, those districts have been served by Republicans.

Changing demographics may also be contributing to the flipped seats as Dakota County is becoming more diverse. Diverse populations tend to vote

for more Democratic candidates.

The other notable returns were that the Eagan and Burnsville districts of 51A and 51B went heavily for the DFL in 2018 with Masin and Halverson winning by more than 60-to40 margins.

Previous to Masin’s first election in 2006, the Eagan area was largely served by a string of Republicans that included former Gov. Tim Pawlenty.

Masin’s been in the House for six non-consecutive terms – 2007-2010 (District 38A); House 2013-present (District 51A).

19A ing to matter, it does. It can change the face of a city or a state or nationally. It can.

I think people need to understand there’s gravity in singular votes,” Hoyt said.

Bernhjelm and Hoyt will join a City Council that includes Mayor Todd Larson, and council members Robyn Craig and Terry Donnelly.

DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE Nov. 8, 2018

COUNCIL, from 1A the way the city handled the separation agreement with Lindquist, was another issue that received increased attention this year, they said.

Because Bernhjelm was appointed to fill Pitcher’s seat after his resignation, campaigning for an election was a new process for her. But she believes having over a year’s worth of experience on the council helped her appeal to voters.

THE

“I think that my experience spoke for itself, and I was able to talk about actual change that I wanted to make and decisions I wanted to make, and I think that stood out to everybody who voted,” she said.

Hoyt said that if he had one word to explain why he won, it would be awareness.

When Facebook videos for his campaign went from getting 1,100 views to 4,000-5,000 views, he said

he knew he was getting there in terms of reaching voters.

“Getting attention is easy; keeping it takes hard work. So when we can get there and we have that awareness, at least they’re going to hear the message and then we can start to do our work from there,” Hoyt said.

He added that every social media post and Facebook video he made wasn’t reactive, which he said showed voters he has a

COUNTDOWN

leadership mentality and is different from the current political climate.

Though some might be surprised that a write-in candidate could win, Hoyt said he’s not surprised by his victory.

“I’ve always had a mentality of believing and being positive, and I think that if you think positively and you believe in something, it’s not a matter of whether or not it’s going to happen, it’s how hard you’re willing to work and

at what time you can get it done,” Hoyt said.

“I was confident that we would do everything necessary and get people together to be successful in our bid. And we were, and it’s amazing,” he said.

Hoyt said he hopes his win serves an example of what can be done when people choose to use their voice and vote.

“I think it’s empowering for people to know that their vote, late at night when they think it’s not go-
