A sense of panic ran through the Dakota County Fairgrounds on Wednesday night when an event put on by a Princeton-based bull riding company turned dangerous. During a Bulls and Barrels event at the Dakota County Fair, at approximately 8:24 p.m. Aug. 7, a bull named Red 43 broke through its pen and ran into a crowd of fair attendees, injuring eight bystanders and a county deputy. Barbara Goggins of Cottage Grove was airlifted to Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis with a head injury. By late last week, Goggins was upgraded to satisfactory condition. One of the injured was Dakota County Deputy See BULL, 8A

Farmington school district could decrease levy by almost 60 percent Location Equity Revenue option would lower property taxes by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Farmington School Board is weighing an option that would decrease its operation property tax levy by about 60 percent for the 2014-15 school year and beyond. All the board would have to do is nothing. The 2013 Minnesota Legislature passed a Location Equity Revenue option allowing the school district $424 per pupil. Unless the school district opts out, it will receive the revenue, leaving the re-

maining level at about $289 with inflation. Another change this year is that the Legislature is allowing school districts to convert up to $300 from Voter Approved Levy to a Board Approved Levy. The option would mean there would be no levy election in 2017 and the board could approve one of its own up to $300 every year. “I struggle taking power away from voters for these levies; however, I do like the fact that it would save taxpayers significantly and giving us a generated revSee LEVY, 6A

The Farmington Police Department participated in its own demolition derby of sorts last week while chasing a suspect along Highway 3. Patrick Christopher Armstrong, 28, of Rosemount, led police on a chase that resulted in damage to three Farmington police cars on Aug. 6. According to the police report, Armstrong called officers in Farmington stating that he was in his vehicle in Rambling River Park and he had a gun, knife and sword. He said he wanted four squad cars to show up and he was going

It was a relatively busy evening at the Dakota County Fair on Aug. 7 with people chomping down on corn dogs, mingling among the livestock and seeing who won the blue ribbons.

roads around him before he went mobile.” But before they were able to surround him, Armstrong fled northbound on Highway 3, swerving in and out of traffic. Police officers conducted pursuit intervention techniques, where police used their own vehicles to strike Armstrong’s car, which eventually forced the vehicle off the road near Empire Township. Three police cars made contact with Armstrong’s vehicle. The first marked police vehicle forced the suspect’s car to do a 360-degree turn and the second car suffered frontend damage while attempting to push the suspect’s

to force officers to kill him when they arrived. He also warned he was a large man and would be combative. “He made claims of being armed and suicidal,” Farmington Police Chief Brian Lindquist said. “It obviously gave us quite a bit of concern because parks tend to be a place where there are lots of young people.” When officers arrived at the park, they found Armstrong in an eastern parking lot and dispatch made attempts to contact him again. “He made some rather disparaging comments about hurting police and himself,” Lindquist said. “We tried to close down

car off the road. The third car suffered damage to its passenger side. Armstrong exited his vehicle, but refused to comply with officers’ orders. Officers discharged their stun guns three times before incapacitating Armstrong and he was taken into custody. “There were no injuries to police or himself,” Lindquist said. “It was just a bad day for property.” A search of Armstrong’s car revealed a folding knife in the passenger seat, a knife in the glove box, a small sword in the trunk and an opened bottle of whiskey in the front passenger door. The department didn’t

charge him with an alcohol-related offense. The police report did not mention finding a gun. He was charged with fleeing a peace officer and obstructing the legal process, both felonies, which carry a maximum combined sentence of eight years in custody and/or a $15,000 fine. Two of the vehicles are expected to be repaired, but Lindquist said, “I haven’t heard back from insurance, but considering the damage and how much the car is worth, there’s a high probability it will be totaled.” Email Andy Rogers at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Pen pal program fosters international friendships Rosemount French teacher takes learning outside the classroom by Kristina Ericksen SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Clare Hagen’s pen pal program is broadening horizons for her French 3 students at Rosemount High School. Students have traveled to meet their pen pals in France and have stayed with host families abroad. One French pen pal visited Rosemount for the three weeks this summer. “International friendships are my passion,” Hagen said. Hagen herself has had three pen pals for the past 25 years – one from France, one from Belgium and one from Spain. She’s traveled to meet them all and still corresponds with them regularly. All three were assigned to her in the classroom when she was a student. Bringing her passion for international friend-

ship to her own students, Hagen has incorporated her pen pal program to her French 3 class for the past three school years. “It’s such a great experience,” recent Rosemount High School graduate Ariana Tahmooressi said. “It makes students more interested in learning and gives context outside of the classroom.” Tahmooressi took Hagen’s class in the 20102011 school year as a sophomore. She continues to regularly email her pen pal Marie in French. Marie responds in English. The two edit and correct each other’s messages to help improve their fluency. “I’m so lucky to have picked Marie,” Tahmooressi said. “We just clicked.” Like all of Hagen’s French 3 students, Tahmooressi picked a name out of a hat to receive her assigned pen pal for the

school year. Both students were 15 when they began corresponding. Early letters were introductory and had to meet the required vocabulary and grammar in the curriculum. More freedom was given in letter writing as the school year progressed. Letters were written digitally over an open forum for the class to see. At the end of the course students were given the option to reveal their full names and contact information with their pen pals. Tahmooressi decided to continue the correspondence after discovering many similarities between her and Marie. “She’s a lot like me. We’re both interested in learning the languages,” Tahmooressi said. “And The Fischbacks visited the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden this summer with Julien, we both love (the rock their French exchange student. Julien and Nate were pen pals in Clare Hogan’s French music group) Linkin Park. 3 class at Rosemount High School. Julien stayed with the family for three weeks this summer.

Young entrepreneur eyes booze caps Derby attendance up Reimnitz seeks funding to launch Shotcaps transfer� plastic that keeps plastic aftertaste at bay, according to Reimnitz, who said the design was done by California-based Traser Design. He’s seeking $10,000 through the crowdfunding service Indiegogo. Reimnitz said that would allow him to manufacture a few thousand Shotcaps of each size. Once he has $100,000 in purchase orders (Reimnitz is targeting liquor stores) Wells Fargo Bank has agreed to invest in the manufacturing, he said. “I guess they’re kind of aimed at the college kids,� he said of Shotcaps. “They seem to be the ones doing the heaviest drinking and always bringing their bottles from party to party to party. The product is a traditional shot glass and a bottle cap just combined.� While working on his latest venture Reimnitz is also earning a steady paycheck as a web designer for Viking Magazine in Burnsville, a magazine sales company. “I don’t have an employee mindset,� Reimnitz said. “I like being an entrepreneur and developing my own products, and hopefully someday making a little more money than I can sitting in a cube.� Information on Shotcaps is at shotcaps.com. The funding campaign opened July 31 and concludes Sept. 14 at 11:59 p.m.

After tasting success right out of high school, entrepreneur Nathan Reimnitz did what any kid might have done. He enjoyed himself. Reimnitz had a winner with SyncMyAd, an online syndication service landlords could use to get apartment listings on multiple websites. Now he’s pouring his entrepreneurial spirit into launching Shotcaps – a liquor bottle cap and shot glass in one. But his previous venture capital partner is sitting this one out, and Reimnitz didn’t keep much cash from SyncMyAd, so he’s trying to raise at least $10,000 through crowdfunding. “The problem is, when I want to manufacture this product, I need like $100,000,� said the 24-year-old Burnsville resident. “I don’t have anything close to that. When I did the real estate project, I was drawing a pretty good check out of that. And being a young buck, I bought a sports car, went to Twins games, and just kind of wasted the money. I didn’t make very good choices when I had the success, and man, I’m kicking myself now because it would have been nice just to get this going out of my own pocket.� A 2007 graduate of Farmington High School, Reimnitz was a teenage skateboarder who saved paychecks from a summer job at Valleyfair to start his first business, Ello Skateboards. He still has the businesses, which employs his skills as a graphic artist to create graphic designs for the bottoms of skateboards.

Nathan Reimnitz “I graduated with distinction,� Reimnitz said. “I had academic honors. I had a 3.9 GPA. I took the PSEO courses at Normandale (Community College), but never did any college after graduation in 2007. That’s when I got into the real estate syndication services.� Inspired by a chapter in the book “Freakonomics� that he said questions whether the interests of real estate agents and their clients are aligned, Reimnitz envisioned creating a “CarSoup for houses.� His original Web business was aimed at the for-sale-by-owner market, but he and partner Dustin Griess changed the model at the recommendation of Space Center Ventures, which sunk $10,000 into the project, Reimnitz said. Rebranded as SyncMyAd and serving mostly landlords – along with a few single-family sell-

ers – the business thrived for a while but eventually lost its originality, as well as a key contract with an apartment guide company that found another vendor to give it the same capabilities, Reimnitz said. “We were kind of ahead of the curve, but I don’t know that there’s a huge business there� now, said Reimnitz, who spent two years on the venture. Reimnitz said he later developed a reggae music-streaming website, Jam’s Space, in collaboration with Jim Dupont of Farmington, who came up with the idea. Shotcaps is an idea Reimnitz hatched before he was old enough to drink. Shotcaps come in John Gessner can be reached three sizes: a 1.5-ounce at (952) 846-2031 or email single shot, a 3-ounce john.gessner@ecm-inc.com. double shot and a 4-ounce mixed shot.

a little too much at Dakota County Fair Derby crowded, concert not as much by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Whether to invite the rodeo back to the Dakota County Fair grandstand next year isn’t the only item up for discussion for 2014. The demolition derby on Friday and Saturday nights was packed. Maybe a little too packed. “It got crowded,� fair board member and grandstand director Chris Wright said. “We’re going to look into our ticket sales to get a little more information, but we’re going to have to adjust the ticket numbers. We just won’t be able to sell as many. It was too much stress for everybody. We want to have a good experience in the grandstand.� The demolition derby used to be five days, but this year it was down to two nights and one Sunday matinee. When the derby began at 7 p.m., lines were long. By the time many spectators entered the grandstand, it was hard to find a group of seats together. “There were more seats up higher in the grandstand, but unless you walked up there, you didn’t know about it,� Wright said. “The world has changed a little bit, too. I guess people don’t want to sit as close to strangers.� Earlier in the week, the Love and Theft concert went off without a hitch on Aug. 7, but fair officials admitted they would have liked to see more people in attendance. “I thought more people might come out, but it was a good learning experience to find out how concerts are run,� Wright said. It was the first live concert of its size in the grandstand at the Dakota County Fair. Despite the lower than expected attendance, she said the fair will probably hold more concerts in the future. Wright also said the new donkey races on Aug. 5 were a hit, and the tractor pull on Aug. 6 had the largest crowd in a long time, despite rain in the forecast. During a rodeo on Aug. 6, a bull escaped its pen and injured eight fairgoers including a Dakota County deputy before it was captured by rodeo officials. Fair officials are reviewing whether to hold another rodeo in the future. Email Andy andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Opinion Honoring a broader array of students’ skills by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Powerful, personal and passionate. That’s how I’d describe more than 20 responses to a column I wrote recommending a “second opinion” in medicine and education. All over Minnesota, and the U.S., people described themselves or their children as benefiting from a second view. Here are a few examples and what this can mean for schools. Bill wrote: “My son was the kind of good-with-your-hands-bad-at-academics kid you describe. … Adopted at age 7, (he) is a carpenter, and the smartest guy with his hands I know.” Karen, now an internationally recognized college professor recalled: “My third-grade teacher told my mother that I wasn’t college material! Amazing.” Thomas explained, “I was in shop class in seventh grade and couldn’t plane a piece of wood straight while other kids I thought were dumb were making incredible inlaid chessboards. The teacher took me aside one day and said, ‘Even though you’re not so good at this, you are

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Joe Nathan good at the things that are important for being a success in life.’… I’ve (spent) a good portion of my career … advocating for the kids in shop class who made the great chessboards!” Matthew wrote: “Cursive was a major problem with my teachers – not because of the product, but because of how I held my pencil. I had fluid, excellent writing, but my grip was ‘wrong.’ This resulted in calls home in second grade and a recommendation to be in the ‘Cursive Club,’ … a remedial cursive session in place of recess one day a week, in fifth grade. “My parents thought it was ridiculous, so they (and I) ignored it. … I have unique, clear, elegant cursive (and I only write in cursive) that has served me well. Years ago … I made a font of a print version of my handwriting. It’s been down-

loaded over 400,000 times. “In addition, I was recommended to go to speech therapy when I was about 12. Turned out my teeth had to be adjusted a bit. I had two removed. By 15 or so I was in great shape. I love public speaking, it’s one of my favorite things.” Tom, a newspaper editor, recalled: “As for shop class, I was a C student there, too. I did much better in more classical studies like history, English and math. In some ways, I wish it were otherwise. When something goes wrong on the home front, I often say to my wife, ‘Call the man,’ instead of trying to fix it myself.” Gary, a veteran educator, believes, “one size does not fit all, or even most. Ideally, every student would have an Individual Education Plan. … Each student has his or her unique interests, skills, learning styles, and personalities. … As kids … we knew that we were better at some things than others and other kids were better than we were at other things.” Gary recommended Ken Robinson’s illustrated lecture on changing schools (www.youtube.com/ watch?v=zDZFcDGpL4U).

Rosanne, formerly a Florida principal, responded: “The more alternatives we have for our students, the more success stories we’ll have. … Given the right school environment, all students can succeed.” Wayne, a veteran award-winning educator, wisely concluded: “A serious shortcoming of conventional schooling is that nonacademic students (not good at reading and/or math) are treated as poor or failures. That takes an enormous toll on a student’s sense of self when, in fact, the student may be strong in nonacademic areas. In schools, those areas just don’t count for much – a tragedy. … When will we learn and act upon the fact that not all students learn the same? Or that schools need to recognize, prize and reward many kinds of learning? To do otherwise continues an inhumane aspect of schooling.” Joe Nathan, formerly a Minnesota Public School teacher and administrator, directs the Center for School Change. Reactions welcome, joe@centerforschoolchange.org. Columns reflect the opinion of the author.

Letters Obermueller has proactive approach To the editor: It seems that thin skin is not reserved to incumbents. After a letter criticizing U.S. Rep. John Kline, R-Burnsville, for an after-the-fact remedy to help corporations gain candidates for precious slots in their tables of organization, defenders of the incumbent used their best defense, a sharp offense, in attacks against a possible opponent in 2014, Mike Obermueller. One letter criticized Obermueller’s candidacy by citing two of his former supporters who are now also running against Kline. These candidacies show the vulnerability of the incumbent. People are lining up to oppose him. Mr. Kline’s strategy for an improved economy is a job and career fair, the main beneficiaries of which may be the corporations who took many applications. Obermueller’s strategy involves funding preschool education and enacting promised funding for special education, steps the incumbent has so far rejected, even in his role as chair of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. I think this illustrates a basic difference between Obermueller and the incumbent.

Kline should be a leader To the editor: I am writing to ask U.S. Rep. John Kline to recognize the reality and urgency of the climate crisis and work to pass legislation that supports curbing greenhouse gas emissions. Did he have a chance to read the New York Times or Star Tribune (Aug. 6) article by former EPA administrators Ruckelshaus, Thomas, Reilly and Whitman? These Republicans correctly state that “there is no longer any credible scientific debate about the basic facts” and “the costs of inaction are undeniable.” Kline’s leadership in Congress could be pivotal to building support for a market-based approach that does not grow government, returns all revenue to households, does not rely on costly subsidies, and does not have government pick the winners and losers. According to the former EPA administrators “a market-based approach, like a carbon tax, would be the best path to reducing greenhouse-gas emissions.” Conservatives such as Bob Inglis, George Schultz, Art Laffer and Kevin Hassett have also endorsed this approach. For the sake of our

children, our health, and a strong economy, we have a moral imperative to face the reality of our changing climate and enact legislation now to steadily reduce GHG emissions. VEDA KANITZ Lakeville

The DFL majority is claiming that increasing government aid to local cities and counties qualifies as property tax relief. In a sense, they are right. Many communities around Minnesota receive local government aid (LGA) and could use those increased payments to lower their overall levy. Unfortunately, our communities do not receive LGA. That means that there’s no new government money coming in that would allow the cities of Apple Valley, Rosemount and Coates to lower their property tax levies. In fact, it was decided at Monday night’s school board meeting that the Apple Valley-EaganRosemount School District will be asking taxpayers for $10 million per year – which works out to about $184 for the owner of a $225,000 home, the average for the School District.

John Kline, R-Burnsville, makes laws to give our tax money first to the banks at the low rate and then allow these banks to lend this money to our kids at 4-8 percent over prime. Consequently student loans rates will double, while the banks profit again at taxpayer expense. Students in other countries don’t need loans because their government makes their education free. They value educating engineers or doctors. However, Kline only promotes the free education to learn how to be a solider and make war.

remedy to help corporations gain candidates for precious slots in their tables of organization, defenders of the incumbent used their best defense, a sharp offense, in attacks against a possible opponent in 2014, Mike Obermueller. One letter criticized Obermueller’s candidacy by citing two of his former supporters who are now also running against Kline. These candidacies show the vulnerability of the incumbent. People are lining up to oppose him. Kline’s strategy for an improved economy is a job and career fair, the main beneficiaries of which may be the corporations who took many applications. Obermueller’s strategy involves funding preschool education and enacting promised funding for special education, steps the incumbent has so far rejected, even in his role as chair of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. I think this illustrates a basic difference between Obermueller and the incumbent. Obermueller works for a solution that empowers young people, well before they are damaged by an economy Kline has helped to create. Kline seeks symbolic solutions like job fairs, more likely to help corporations than the wide expanse of people who are unemployed and underemployed themselves, even in an improving economy.

Lakeville man dies in motorcycle accident

Lakeville leads metro in building permits

Dustin Rahier was popping wheelies before motorcycle flipped by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A Lakeville man died just days before his birthday, after an Aug. 10 motorcycle accident on Highway 50 and Holt Avenue. Dustin Rahier, 38, was in eastbound traffic popping wheelies on a Kawasaki motorcycle when vehicles in front of him slowed down, causing him to brake hard and roll, according to the Minnesota State Patrol. The State Patrol reported Rahier suffered a serious injury in the crash, and a White Funeral Home obituary reported he died that day. Rahier was taking part in the Northfield Historical Society’s sixth annual Outlaw Run fundraiser. The event starts with a reenactment of the attempted bank robbery in Northfield committed by gangs led by Jesse and Frank James and the Younger brothers on Sept. 7, 1876. The robbery ended with two gang members and two townspeople dead;

Dustin Rahier the Younger brothers were eventually captured, but the James brothers escaped. Outlaw Run motorcyclists explore southern Minnesota as the gangs did before the attempted robbery. Northfield Historical Society Executive Director Hayes Scriven said the accident happened just as the group of about 230 motorcyclists were leaving a New Trier restaurant, the group’s first stop on the trip. Scriven said he was in the chase vehicle, which follows the riders and contains a first aid kit and cellphone for emergencies; the group also included nurses and emergency medical techni-

cians. He said an emergency medical technician witnessed the crash and was at Rahier’s side within a minute of the accident. Rahier was awake but then lost consciousness at the scene, Scriven said. Historical Society members are devastated by the loss, and Scriven said they will be meeting to determine whether to continue holding the fundraiser or to make changes to it. Two minor accidents have happened to riders participating in the event in the past: one rider lost the sole of his shoe when his motorcycle slipped on loose gravel and another rider broke an ankle. “I’m still trying to comprehend this,” Scriven said, fighting tears. “This is something that’s going to live with me for the rest of my life. It’s the saddest thing I’ve ever been around.” A celebration of Rahier’s life was held Wednesday, Aug. 14, at White Funeral Home in Lakeville

Farmington EDA approves marketing consultation by Kristina Ericksen SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Farmington’s Economic Development Authority approved funding to hire a marketing consultant in a special meeting Wednesday, Aug. 7. The city will use $30,000 from the Community Development Block Grant to fund the marketing plan. Farmington’s need for business marketing was brought to light when the Business Attraction Team, appointed by the EDA, called for more recognition for the city as a center of business. The EDA then began requesting marketing proposals in early July. Now that the EDA has approved the funding for a marketing consultant, it only needs the Dakota County Board’s sanction before moving ahead in September. “Everyone’s excited,” City Planner Lee Smick said. “There’s lots of opportunity here.” Funding for the consultation was based on Lakeville’s similar market-

ing movement a few years ago. The EDA approved the requested funding in full agreement and plans to hire marketing consultant Nemer Fieger of Minneapolis from September through December of this year. Nemer Fieger will talk with local businesses, individuals and residents to develop an appropriate business marketing strategy. The city, hoping to attract new retail, service and industrial business, plans on marketing itself to site selectors and corporate businesses. Farmington has plenty to offer new businesses. The city’s population grew 70 percent between 2000 and 2010. It also boasts 2,500 acres of agricultural land for development and is accessible to the metro area. In its marketing campaign, the EDA hopes to not just attract new businesses to the area but to also promote existing ones. The city already has its GROW initiative, which encourages residents to buy and live

locally to support community vitality. The EDA hopes that the marketing consultation will further strengthen Farmington’s business community. The EDA isn’t just interested in expanding Farmington business, it’s also looking to expand residentially. Nine hundred acres have been designed for housing in the northeastern section of the city and developers are “just waiting to put their shovels in the ground,” Smick said. The EDA’s approved $30,000 will be used for research, planning and marketing consultation, though no actions may be taken with the funding. Following consultation this fall, Smick says the EDA hopes to “hit the ground running come January.” With both commercial and residential growth, the city hopes to strengthen its vitality and ultimately increase its tax base.

by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Single-family home construction in Lakeville is on such an upswing it is setting the standard in the metro area. Lakeville issued more building permits for new single-family construction than any other city in the Twin Cities, according to new figures from the Builders Association of the Twin Cities. Lakeville led the area in July by issuing 38 singlefamily permits, and developers so far this year have purchased 210 permits, more than any other metro city. Prior Lake came in second on the list for July, granting 32 single-family permits, but for the yearto-date totals, Woodbury slid into second place below Lakeville with 205 permits so far in 2013. Lakeville Community Development Director Dave Olson said the city is on track to meet projections that 315 total building permits would be sold by year-end. He said there appears to be a resurgence of the existing home real estate market, which drives new home sales as sellers often look at new construction housing opportunities. “We think this is a trend that is probably going to continue certainly into next year and probably the year after that,” Olson said. He said developers are choosing to build in Lakeville because of its convenient location, quality schools and availability of land. Olson said builders are also reporting increased movement in the real estate market, a trend Troy Johnson of Fieldstone

Family Homes confirmed is happening in Lakeville. “People are really excited to move to Lakeville,” Johnson said. “We’re even starting to see a scarcity of lots.” He and his brothers started their company in 2008, when the recession hit hard. Johnson called it a difficult year, but said the market turn-around has helped them grow their custom home building company throughout the Twin Cities. Many other builders are expanding in Lakeville as evidenced by City Council agendas that sometimes have included resolutions to forward multiple construction projects. During the first six months of the year, the City Council approved 10 different residential plats, representing a total of 293 single-family lots, Olson said. In comparison, the city approved 348 platted lots in all of 2012. Olson said more plat approvals are expected this fall. Next week, Lakeville City Council will consider a resolution approving the preliminary plat for the Spirit of Brandtjen Farm 12th Addition, east of Pilot Knob Road and south of 160th Street, consisting of 52 single-family lots. City Finance Director Dennis Feller in June reported building permit activity in Lakeville was at its highest level since 2005, and average building permit value was around $325,000, excluding land. The market boost is also benefitting the city’s budget. Feller projected that by year-end, the increased building activity revenue would boost the city’s

fund balance by about $450,000. City Administrator Steve Mielke said increased home building activity also benefits the community and businesses, adds jobs and increases the tax base, but the added expansion of roads, parks and infrastructure also increases the city’s workload. Mielke recently presented a draft 2014 budget proposal to the City Council seeking additional staff, in part to provide increased services spurred by the city’s growth. “The added growth does require the City Council to take a look at our current service levels and analyze if we need to add services and staff,” Mielke said. “Some of those projections now show we’re about a year behind in the curve. We added a couple hundred homes last year, and now 300 more this year.” Some of the proposed budget additions include a police investigator, an assistant fire chief, a fleet supervisor and an engineering technician position. Mielke said that new development also brings in revenue to help pay the costs for the additional services. “Our goal is always to have growth pay for itself,” he said. During preliminary discussions, council members have urged caution in hiring and recommended using technology to help reduce expenses. The council will set a maximum levy this fall, but may reduce it before it is finalized in December.

The maximum the School Board could approve on its own at this point is $300. If the board wanted to have an election to pay for something else in the future, it could. “(The Legislature) expected virtually everyone to do this,� Farmington Superintendent Jay Haugen said. “The exception

is for schools that use huge levies or a big building bond.� If the district chooses to opt out, it needs to let the state know by Sept. 1, but board members and school officials made several positive comments about the option at the School Board meeting on Monday. “It’s a win-win,� Board Member Tera Lee said. “You’re helping taxpayers and students.� “We’re shifting money to the state and off the local taxpayer,� Board Member Brian Treakle said. “We already have a high tax rate in this district.

Virginia Clardy and family broke the race barrier in Burnsville Matriarch dies at age 95 by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

James and Virginia Clardy found their dream home in 1956, on 2.5 acres at 1116 Circle High Drive in rural Burnsville Township. Trouble followed immediately. The Clardys had their driveway blocked repeatedly with dirt and debris. They heard neighbors threaten to burn their house. One night there were guns, said Cathy Clardy Patterson, one of the couple’s six children. Despite the indignities that came with being Burnsville’s first AfricanAmerican family, James and Virginia never regretted it, Clardy Patterson said. “My parents grew up in an era where the central belief was that the reason for prejudice and racial animus was just a lack of exposure,” she said. “They were part of a movement throughout the nation of integrationists, which basically said that if we integrated neighborhoods, people will then learn that we’re all the same. “And although they moved here for better schools, that was only part of the reason they moved here, because they believed they had a civic obligation to be part of that movement. They thought that it was a step to make this a more perfect union.” Virginia lived in the house until last November, when she went to Scottsdale, Ariz., to be with Cathy. Virginia died July 20 in Scottsdale at age 95. She was a nurse, a state health official, a political activist, a world traveler FRENCH, from 2A She’s the first person I’ve ever met who likes them, too.” Despite the thousands of miles between them, the two formed a friendship over the past few years. Tahmooressi even describes her as one of her closest friends. As Tahmooressi heads off to college in the fall she plans on majoring in French and hopes to spend a semester teaching English in France. She plans on meeting Marie there one day.

Friendship in France While Tahmooressi hopes to one day meet her pen pal, two of Hagen’s French students already have.

and a mother of six college graduates, some with advanced degrees. Mourners at Virginia’s funeral in St. Paul Aug. 9 included fellow co-founders of Grace United Methodist Church in Burnsville, which opened in 1962. “She was just so lively,” Clardy Patterson said. “But even more important than that, Mother was a gift to anybody whose life she walked into. It didn’t matter what your station in life was. It didn’t matter what your age was. Mother engaged you wherever you were.” Born Virginia Mae Price on Dec. 16, 1917, she was raised in Kansas City, Mo., where she graduated from high school with honors and was elected homecoming queen. She became a registered nurse in 1940 and worked with a program fighting communicable diseases that took her to Arkansas, Staten Island and Detroit. After returning to Kansas City to work as a public health nurse, Virginia came to the University of Minnesota for further studies. She married James Clardy of Minneapolis, who made a career as director of administrative services for the Minneapolis post office. As the couple had children, they sought to leave Minneapolis for better schools, Clardy Patterson said. They’d narrowed their choice to Edina or Burnsville. Burnsville was the sentimental favorite because of her father’s boyhood memories of hunting deer in the area, she said. The Clardys bought their brand-new home from the chief carpenter of the neighborhood developer, who suddenly decided to sell, Clardy Patterson Ally Fischback, who also took French 3 in the 2010-2011 school year, hosted her pen pal Robon for two weeks the following summer. “It was his first time in the country and it was really exciting showing him all about American culture,” Ally said. The trip was a success, and the following summer Ally and her brother Nate, who is also a French student, spent two weeks with Robon’s family. While abroad, they visited Paris, the Mediterranean Sea side and Robon’s hometown of Lozére in southern France. “It was a really small town of about 5,000 people, and they were all expecting us,” Ally said. “They threw us a huge town dinner when we arrived.”

Are you Odd

or Even?

Virginia Clardy, a die-hard Minnesota Vikings fan, is pictured with her oldest son, Winston. (Photo by John Gessner) said. The developer himself didn’t seem likely to sell to a black couple. He was “actually the ringleader for trying to keep us out of the neighborhood,” Clardy Patterson said, adding that their lender threw up another barrier by requiring an outlandish 45 percent down payment. A group of neighbors, led by the developer, had the house condemned for sitting below the surface of the road, Clardy Patterson said. Her parents got the condemnation order lifted. Then the developer had a bulldozer come by every day to block the driveway with dirt and debris. The Clardys obtained a ceaseand-desist order. “So then our neighbors threatened to burn down our house,” said Clardy Patterson, 56. “There were verbal threats. And then one night they came over with guns.” James, an Army vet-

eran, had his own gun — a Luger pistol, a World War II keepsake, which he fired into the air. “He said, ‘I fought to defend this country. I’m going to fight to take care of my family,’ ” said Mary Frances Clardy, 54, one of the couple’s three daughters. Racial incidents, verbal and physical, followed the children to school. They attended Lakeville schools — Orchard Lake Elementary and the then-combined junior and senior high. “My parents always had a rule that if one of us gets attacked, the rest of us had better not come home unless we stood up for the other one,” Clardy Patterson said. Virginia challenged the school district over “The Story of Little Black Sambo,” an 1899 children’s book later criticized for racial slurs and symbols. Her request that the book be removed from school bookshelves was denied.

That school year Nate was assigned Robon’s younger brother, Julien, as his pen pal in Hagen’s French class. The two had gotten to know each other over the summer during their homestay in France. “It was really nice because I already knew him,” Nate said. “We just got further acquainted in our letters.” The two 17-year-olds corresponded throughout the school year before the Fischbacks welcomed Julien into their home for three weeks this summer. The pen pals jet skied at the cabin, visited Valleyfair and toured the Spam Museum, where Julien sampled the hot and spicy variety. Julien also took day trips around the cities with Hagen. “We fight like brothers,” Nate said with a

laugh. “And we both have a habit for picking bad movies to watch.” Julien has since returned home, though the two families plan to stay in touch with the help of email and Facebook.

Nontraditional learning Though they’re finished with the pen pal program and summer homestays, Ally, Nate and Tahmooressi’s interest in French is still strong thanks to Hagen’s curriculum. “I really think it increased my interest in the language,” Ally said. “I’d never thought I’d be traveling there.” Ally, who heads off to college this fall, plans to minor in French. “The program definitely shows a different

“Her view wasn’t that you necessarily won every case, but that you stood up,” Clardy Patterson said. The Clardys also encountered people of good will in the community and saw attitudes change, she said. “It wasn’t a story of uniform hostility,” Clardy Patterson said. “It was a story of a family that first of all cared about the future of their children, but also wanted to make a difference in the community by setting forth positive role models.” Virginia and James were kind but demanding parents who forbade TV on weeknights, assigned many chores and valued brain work. “She was really big into a lot of structured events for us at home,” Mary Frances said of her mother. “We had to do weekly reports as a family. Each kid had to do a weekly report on a current event.” Clardy Patterson got her fill of “Texaco presents Metropolitan Opera” broadcasts on public radio. “We had to listen to that every Saturday, and then she gave us a test afterwards,” she said. “I swore when I grew up and could afford a car, I would never buy Texaco gas.” Virginia, who stayed home to raise the family, returned to nursing after Mary Frances entered school. She worked as an orthopedic nurse at Methodist Hospital in St. Louis Park. She was then hired as then-Gov. Wendell Anderson’s advisor on drug and alcohol abuse. Virginia finished her career as the nursing consultant to Minnesota’s state hospitals. “My mother was very politically active,” a trait side of the language that you don’t get to see in the classroom,” Nate said. Nate still has one more year of high school left and will continue to study French. He also plans to minor in the language at college. For Tahmooressi, the program not only provided her with a great friend, it opened up her world. “It changed a lot for me,” she said. “It was my first experience outside of the classroom with the language and was really a special thing. Not everyone gets to do this.” But they are not alone. Hagen’s pen pal program has been positively received by her students the past three years. “They love it,” she said. “They get to ask them questions about typical teenage things in France

she encouraged in her children, Clardy Patterson said. “She held a number of positions in the DFL Party. She worked on a number of races. In fact, Hubert Humphrey (the late senator and vice president) dubbed her the ‘Queen Bee of Burnsville’ because he said she could organize anything.” Virginia, whose husband died in 1999, loved gardening, canning and healthy eating. She taught Red Cross swim lessons in Lakeville and was the first president of the Lakeville Lioness Club. She was a die-hard Vikings fan who once dyed her hair purple. She traveled late into her life, visiting Spain, Portugal, Turkey and Greece in her 93rd year. “You didn’t see a lot of wrinkles,” said Mary Frances, who now occupies the home at 1116 Circle High Drive. Virginia was preceded in death by her parents, Mattie Frances Price Smith and James Price; brother, James Russell Price Sr.; and husband, James E. Clardy Sr. She is survived by her sons, Winston Clardy of Huntsville, Ala., James Clardy Jr. of Minneapolis and David (Victoria) Clardy of Minneapolis; daughters, Rebecca Clardy of Minneapolis, Cathy Clardy Patterson (Ross) of Scottsdale, Ariz., and Mary Frances Clardy of Burnsville; grandsons, Bryan and Nathaniel; granddaughters, Khadijah, Virginia, Amatullah and Davina; and many relatives and friends.

that I don’t have answers for.” Hagen says the program has many academic benefits. Students apply the vocabulary learned in the classroom in real life. For many it is a first chance to speak with a native French speaker. “The pen pal program really opens up the world for the students. Some of them haven’t ever left the country, and some not even the Midwest,” Hagen said. “It makes them more self-aware and more worldly.” Hagen plans to continue to share her passion for international friendships with her students for years to come.

BULL, from 1A Matthew Regis, who fired two shots at the bull at close range in an attempt to stop Red 43 before being trampled. “He was doing his job,� Dakota County Sheriff Dave Bellows said. “I thought he demonstrated a lot of courage. But we found a 2,000 pound animal didn’t respond to gun shots as much as we hoped.� Red 43 left his pen near the grandstand and headed to the north gate, where Regis confronted the bull in a large, open area while officers created a line between the bull and the fairgoers. Red 43 then went back south. “The deputy acted accordingly,� Bellows said. “I support what he did. That’s his job, to stop the bull from injuring other people. The way he describes it, it was contact rounds. The gun was touching the bull’s hide

when he fired. There was no chance for an errant round.� Regis suffered a sprained ankle. He was later treated and released from Fairview Ridges Hospital in Burnsville. Paramedics on the scene tended to the other eight individuals. After about 10 to 15 minutes, rodeo staff regained control of the bull. “Ten, 15 minutes can feel like an eternity if he gets into the wrong area,� Bellows said. Rodeo staff received cheers from the crowd as they corralled Red 43 back into his pen. “It was probably one of the busiest Wednesday nights I’ve ever seen,� Bellows said. “The potential for any large scale injuries were avoided. He was close to the main road and there were so many people. I feel it was very fortunate.� The incident happened during an event by Rice

Bull Riding Co., which hails from Princeton. The bull was owned by Gold Medal Cattle Company in Wisconsin. According to the Gold Medal Cattle Company, the bull was euthanized the next day. The fair wasn’t the same after the incident. “It was a topic of conversation for everybody,� fair board member Chris Wright said. “It’s really sad that it did happen. We feel bad for the people that got injured. I’m glad it wasn’t more serious than it was, but it did affect the whole fair.� When asked if the fair was planning on scheduling a rodeo again in the future, Wright said “It’s still up for discussion. Generally after the fair we’ll all get together to recap. I would not be opposed to doing another rodeo.� Email Andy Rogers at a n d y. ro ge rs @ e c m - i n c. com.

Man, woman accused of robbing, assaulting man at Eagan hotel by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Two people face felony charges after allegedly assaulting, imprisoning and robbing a man at an Eagan hotel. Nathan Scott Hayden of South St. Paul and Jennifer Marlene Anderson of Eagan were charged Aug. 8 with firstdegree aggravated robbery for their role in the alleged attack. Hayden was also charged with false imprisonment and terroristic threats, both felonies. According to the criminal complaint, Hayden, 35, walked into the alleged victim’s hotel room through a door that was ajar at about midnight on July 9 and demanded money and guns. The alleged victim recognized Hayden, who had spoken to him outside the hotel a day earlier. Hayden approached the alleged victim just as he ended a phone call about an impending divorce and told the man he should feel good about himself because he has nice things like the new truck he just purchased. Hayden then followed the man into his hotel room and continued to comment on the man’s nice things. The man is an avid gun collector and had several gun cases inside his

room and truck. Hayden mentioned he was staying in the next room and asked if the alleged victim would pay for his room for another night. The man declined, and Hayden eventually left. About a minute after Hayden barged into the room, three other men allegedly entered to assist Hayden in the robbery. One of the men lifted the man’s shirt to check for concealed weapons and then searched his pockets. The alleged victim told the men he was scared, and they told him he was “(expletive) too much,” and to “mellow out.” Hayden then allegedly grabbed the man, held a knife to his throat and told him, “You’re going to die, boy.” One of the other men allegedly held another knife to the man’s neck and pushed him onto the bed where he was repeatedly punched in his side, according

to the complaint. For the next hour and a half to two hours, the men attempted to get money from the alleged victim. The man only had about $26 in cash. Hayden allegedly held a knife to the man’s neck and made him get onto his laptop to attempt to transfer money from his account to Hayden’s. When the man told Hayden he didn’t have any money in his account, Hayden allegedly made the man pull up his account to show him the balance. While Hayden attempted to get money, the other three men ransacked the man’s hotel room, the complaint said. Suspecting the alleged victim was stalling, all four men became upset, hit him repeatedly and told him he would die and that his family would die if he called police, the complaint said. At one point Hayden allegedly demanded that the man transfer money from his wife’s account, but by that time, the transfer time had expired and he was locked out of the account. Giving up on the money transfer, the men loaded the alleged victim’s cellphone, gun supplies, gun optics and other property into his truck.

Hayden then took the keys, title and other documentation for the truck and left in the vehicle with the other three men. Once they left, the man reported the robbery to police, who arrived a short time later. The man told them a woman named Jen or Jennifer stayed with Hayden in the room next to his, and had also asked him to pay for her room. A police investigation determined that Anderson, 40, had stayed in the room with Hayden. The alleged victim, who identified Anderson in a police lineup, said he believes Anderson set up the robbery. He said he saw her enter his room, take his personal property and act as a lookout during the alleged robbery. During an interview with police, Anderson, who was in jail for an unrelated charge, admitted that Hayden came by her room and told her the alleged victim owed him money, according to the complaint. She also told police Hayden came to the hotel with three other men and she left with them in the alleged victim’s truck. The alleged victim’s vehicle was found parked outside a St. Paul residence and was taken by police as evidence. Banking

documents and fingerprints inside the vehicle led police to Hayden, who was also identified by the alleged victim in a police lineup. Hayden was arrested on Aug. 6 and while being driven to jail allegedly said Anderson called him and while he was helping her with something, three other men robbed the alleged victim, stole the man’s truck and made Hayden drive. Hayden said he went to a St. Paul residence where they unloaded the ammunition and parked the vehicle. If convicted, Hayden and Anderson could face up to 20 years in prison for the robbery charge. Hayden could face up to three years in prison if convicted of false imprisonment and up to five years if convicted of terroristic threats. Hayden has previously been convicted of second degree-assault and terroristic threats. Anderson has numerous drug convictions between 2002 and 2012. Police are investigating the other three men involved in the alleged robbery. Jessica Harper is at jessica. harper@ecm-inc.com or facebook.com/sunthisweek.

Rabbits are bad listeners Weniger sisters enjoy participating in rabbit agility at the fair by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

When the Weniger family came to the Dakota County Fair a few years ago, it wasn’t the thrilling rides or the sug-

ary treats that captured their attention. Sisters Lauren, 9, and Mackenzie, 13, were enamored with the rabbits, particularly the agility demonstrations in which rabbits and their own-

ers attempt an obstacle course. “It was fun to watch them jump over things and see how fast they can run,� said Mackenzie, whose family lives in Farmington. The girls asked their parents if they could have pet rabbits, join 4-H, and join in the fun. They quickly learned that rabbits are not the best listeners. They’ll respond to a gentle tug, but they also might decide to lay down midcourse or take off in the other direction. The hope is the rabbits will circle around the cones, leap through tires, traverse ramps, and dance over 2-inch-high pipes along the agility course with relative ease. “If they won’t jump, you have to give them a little push, but you lose points,� Mackenzie said. This year Lauren and Mackenzie were among about 40 youths who participated in the rabbit agility demonstrations throughout fair week and during the competition on Friday night. There are beginner, intermediate and advanced classes. It’s almost all rabbit-dependent. Like the halls of a high school, the rabbit community features several diverse personality traits. Some are introverts while others are anxious for an ear scratch. And there are the jocks – the speedy, agile and confident rabbits. They make the best rabbits for competition. “It’s easy for our kinds of rabbits, because they’re runners,� Lauren said. “They’re better at

jumping than showing.� Experience also matters. “Last year was a bit frustrating because they would lay down like, ‘Do I have to?’ � Mackenzie said. “You had to lift them up to jump over things.� After a year of experience, the rabbits seemingly know what they’re getting into. “It’s more fun because they know the course,� Lauren said. “They start to get the hang of it.� During the offseason, the girls take their rabbits – Caramel and Flashers – for walks around the yard to make them more comfortable wearing a leash. “We set up sticks for them to jump over but they don’t really like that,� Lauren said. 4-H has held rabbit agility competitions before, but this is the first year they’ve been outside under a tent with more room for spectators. Rabbits are popular pets in urban settings. The biggest expense is the cage, and rabbits don’t need to make regular visits to a veterinarian like cattle do. In a more populated county such as Dakota, several youths who participate in rabbit agility live in the city, miles away from a farm. But rabbits might just be the beginning for the Weniger sisters. Mackenzie said she wants to leave the city and be a farmer when she grows up.

Sports Football season near, and optimism is high Here are a few things to watch for in 2013 by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

While a few high school football teams were allowed to start practice one week early in anticipation of “Zero Week” games in the third week of August, most started officially, with coaches presents, on Monday. Sun Thisweek Newspapers will have previews of the eight football teams in its coverage area next week. Until then, here are a few things to watch for as they gear up for their opening games Aug. 29 and 30. Apple Valley (8-3 last season; reached Class 5A quarterfinals): The challenge for new head coach Chad Clendening will be continuing the progress the Eagles made in their turnaround year in 2012. The numbers in the program are larger, and the Eagles return quarterback Tommy Singer and most of their starting offensive linemen. Burnsville (3-6; lost in first round of Class 6A playoffs): Quarterback Will Reger and defensive back Brett Shepley are among those returning to help the Blaze try to forget

Notebook: Jones sets his schedule for visits Baylor, Kentucky, Kansas, Duke on itinerary by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Apple Valley High School boys basketball star Tyus Jones made an unofficial visit to the University of Minnesota on Tuesday and set a schedule for official visits to four other colleges he is considering. On Tuesday, he announced on his Twitter account (@Tyusjones06) that he would make official visits to Baylor (Aug. 30-Sept. 1), Kentucky (Sept. 27-29), Kansas (Oct. 18-20) and Duke (Oct. 25-27). Student-athletes are allowed a maximum of five official visits, meaning Jones could add one to his schedule. He also is considering Michigan State and Ohio State. Jones was not expected to include Minnesota on his list of official visits because he’s already a fairly frequent visitor to the campus. Unless he commits before taking all of his visits, it appears unlikely he will announce a decision much before Nov. 13, the start of the early National Letter of Intent signing period for basketball. Another South Suburban Conference player, Lakeville North guard J.P. Macura, also has visited Minnesota. The Gophers are the first Big Ten team to offer him a scholarship, but he has attracted interest from a number of other Division I programs, including Butler, Purdue, Iowa State, Kansas State, Florida State, Boston College and Xavier.

Perennial boys soccer power Apple Valley plays Owatonna at 7 p.m. at Johnny Cake Ridge Stadium. Farmington will play host to Rosemount in a 5 p.m. nonconference game between teams that will be conference rivals beginning in fall 2014, when Farmington is scheduled to join the South Suburban. Eastview’s girls soccer team, a state tournament qualifier the last two years, takes on CretinDerham Hall at 7 p.m. at home.

Town ball playoffs

Eagan and Savage are among the 16 teams still alive in the state Class B men’s amateur baseball tournament. Both will be in Super Section tournaments this weekend. Eagan and Savage emerged from a regional tourney that included the other two members of the Cannon Valley League – Burnsville and Lakeville. The Eagan Bandits, who have a number of former Eagan High School players, go to a Super Section tournament in Austin beginning Friday. The Bandits will play the Austin Greyhounds at 6 p.m., followed by Dundas vs. Duluth at 8:30. Two of those four teams will advance to the state tournament. Super Section tournaments are doubleelimination. The Savage Outlaws, who have a heavy concentration of Burnsville High School alumni on their roster, will play Red Wing at 8:30 p.m. Friday in a Super Section tourney in Marshall.

two teams that reached the final eight in Class 6A. Linebacker Joe Kovach led the team in defensive points as a sophomore. Eastview (7-4; reached Class 6A quarterfinals): The rushing game is one of the things the Lightning does best, and Eastview returns junior Will Rains, who scored 21 touch-

downs and rushed for almost 1,600 yards last season. Quarterback Mark Dwyer and linebacker Jacob Bechstein are among other key returning players. Farmington (7-3; reached Class 5A, Section 3 finals): The Tigers should be ready to roll in their final season in the

Missota Conference (they move to the South Suburban next year). They return eight starters on offense and eight on defense. Farmington moves up a class, to 6A, for the playoffs this season.

Historic season sends Cobras to World Series Burnsville will play for American Legion national title by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Burnsville won the Central Plains Regional American Legion baseball tournament on Monday but – for now – has been denied a triumphant return home. “We’re still in Fargo,” Cobras coach Greg Nesbitt said Tuesday, referring to the North Dakota city where the regional tournament was held. “If you win the regional, they don’t let you leave.” The American Legion arranged for regional champions to fly this week from the sites of their regional tournaments to North Carolina. For Burnsville, that meant boarding a flight from Fargo at 5:45 a.m. Wednesday. The American Legion World Series

begins Friday in Shelby, N.C., with Burnsville playing Great Lakes Regional champion Napoleon, Ohio, at 8:30 a.m. The national tournament runs through Tuesday, Aug. 20. All games will be available via online streaming on ESPN3. For the Cobras, it could mean almost two weeks on the road. Few if any of the players and coaches expected to be away from home that long. “We had to take one man to the clothing store (Tuesday) to get him something for the flight,” Nesbitt said. “Our parents have been great to us. They’ve been doing laundry. They even did my laundry, which is something I really appreciated.” A little laundry duty might have been a small price for watching a part of Burnsville baseball history. This is the first Cobras team to reach an American Legion regional, let alone the World Series. It’s also the first

Minnesota Third District team to get there. Until this year, the Third District team that came closest was the Apple Valley 76ers, who were second in a regional in 2007. Burnsville (35-10) clinched its place in the national tournament with a 15-5 victory over Omaha (Neb.) Westside on Monday in a game shortened to seven innings because of the 10-run rule. In their previous four games at the regional, the Cobras displayed solid pitching, timely hitting and a knack for forcing opponents into mistakes. In the championship game they sprayed the ball all over Jack Williams Stadium, finishing with 20 hits (19 of them singles) in seven innings. Tyler Hanson, the regional tournament MVP, was 5-for-5 with three runs and two RBI in the championship game. He batted .563 for the tournament and had two pitching victories. Eric Watters and Cam-

den Traetow had three hits each in the championship game. Tyler Hill was 2-for-4 with two RBI. Aaron Rozek pitched the first six innings and earned the victory. “In some of our earlier (regional) games, it took until the second or third time through the lineup before we felt comfortable at the plate,” Nesbitt said. “(Monday), everything fell in.” Zach Smith pitched a complete game and Joe Keller’s two-run double keyed a Burnsville rally as the Cobras defeated defending regional champion Omaha Creighton Prep 7-3 on Aug. 11. Cooper Maas had a tworun double and Hanson pitched a complete game as Burnsville beat Carroll County, Iowa, 4-3 on Aug. 10. Minnesota has had five American Legion World Series champions since 1943, including three in the last 14 years. Eden Prairie won the national title in 2011.

Lakeville South (4-5; lost in first round of Class 6A playoffs): The Cougars struggled uncharacteristically last year, with turnovers often at the root of the problem. They could be stout on defense, as returnees A.J. Westrude and Josh Corcoran were among their leading tacklers. Rosemount (7-5 overall; reached Class 6A semifinals): After losing three of their first four games, the Irish turned things around abruptly. Quarterback Jackson Erdmann and running back/receiver Dimitri Williams helped spark the playoff run and are two members of a talented class of juniors in the South Suburban. The early schedule is tough, starting with Wayzata and Eastview in the first two games.

Lakeville men save dog lost in Boundary Waters for 14 days West St. Paul couple overjoyed, grateful by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A West St. Paul family has been happily reunited with its dog, lost for two weeks in the Boundary Waters, due to the extraordinary efforts of two Lakeville men. Mike Raub and Dave Krings were on a camping trip at Lake Sawbill last week when Krings spotted a nervous border collie on the outskirts of their camp and threw him a pancake. The frightened dog gobbled it up, ate another one, then feasted on a pasta dish they cooked for him, but would not come close, nervously curling up on a warm rock. A half-hour kayak trip away sat the dog’s worried owners, Nicole Paradise and Greg Rohleder, at the campsite where the black-and-white dog had last been seen, about eight miles from the lake where a family friend had brought him on a Boundary Waters trip 12 days earlier. The skittish pup, J.J.,

had bolted into the woods when lightning and thunder struck just as a stranger suddenly appeared on the trail. Paradise said most dogs lost in the vast wilderness are either found within a few days or are never seen again, likely prey for the area’s wolf population. The couple had almost resigned themselves to the likelihood that J.J. would not be coming home — they were starting to look into getting another dog — when a camper’s sighting of J.J. was reported. Within an hour, the couple packed and were taking the nearly five-hour trip to find J.J. The vast wilderness discouraged them as they paddled to the campsite, and their spirits further deflated when upon arriving at the camp, J.J. was nowhere to be found. “It’s like looking for a contact (lens) in a lake,� Paradise said. About 45 minutes later, they still sat waiting, hoping J.J. would return, when Raub paddled up

and asked if they were the people missing the dog. He led them to their campsite a half-hour away where they made them soup and coffee, assuring them J.J. would return. After almost four hours, it was getting dark, looked like rain, and the couple had not packed any camping gear, so they dejectedly paddled back to the entry point and spent the night in a hotel. About an hour after they had gone, Raub and Krings spotted J.J. sitting on a rock looking at them. “He came back and got close to the campsite,� Raub said. While Krings paddled back to the outfitters to leave a message for Paradise and Rohleder, Raub used hot dogs to lure J.J. into his tent, then zipped it up. “I thought he’d either relax or tear up the tent,� Raub said. J.J. laid down, sleeping and occasionally crying, safe for the night until the next morning when the grateful, excited couple

It’s Beethoven’s opera of revolution and liberation, retold with secret agents, covert operations and undercover antics – plus some reggae music thrown in for good measure. Feel free to bring a picnic dinner. Twin Cities-based theater group Mixed Precipitation is bringing back its hugely popular Picnic Operetta tour for a fifth season, and will be staging “Agent Fidelio” at community gardens and other public venues this month and next. A south-of-the-river performance of “Agent Fidelio” is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 18, at Caponi Art Park in Eagan. Beethoven’s opera “Fidelio,” first staged in 1805, tells the story of a woman who disguises herself as a prison guard to rescue her husband from death in a political prison. Mixed Precipitation’s comic take on the opera features Beethoven’s soaring arias and choruses, mixed with the reggae of Jimmy Cliff and other audio idiosyncrasies. The event is the final show in Caponi’s Summer Performance Series,

which kicked off June 23 with a concert by the Minnesota Sinfonia and has offered theater, music and dance on Sunday evenings throughout the summer. Admission to “Agent Fidelio” is free with a $5 suggested donation. Guests are encouraged to

bring lawn chairs or a blanket to spread on the grassy slopes of Caponi’s Theater in the Woods outdoor amphitheater. More about the performance is at www.caponiartpark.org. —Andrew Miller
