ISD 196 teachers, nurses get pay raises Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School teachers and nurses will receive pay increases this year. On Sept. 9, the District 196 School Board unanimously approved a new two-year agreement with the Dakota County United Educators union that includes a 2 percent increase to the salary schedule each year. The union represents nearly 2,000 teachers and school nurses in the district, and ratified the tentative agreement Sept. 4. Board Member Bob Schutte was absent from the meeting. Teachers at the top step of pay will receive an additional 0.71 percent increase in the first year of the contract and an additional 0.6 percent in the second year. Longevity pay for eligible employees will increase by a range of $63 to $190 in the first year, depending on the employee’s experience level, and by a range of $62 to $187 in the second year. Under the contract, which is retroactive to July 1, 2013 and spans to June 30, 2015, a first-year teacher with a bachelor’s degree will earn $37,324. An experienced teacher with a master’s degree at the top of the schedule will earn $68,194 in base salary and up to $7,183 in longevity pay. The district also agreed to increase its contribution for health insurance premiums by 2 percent in the first year and 1 percent in the second year of the contract. The pay increase is the first in two years. A contract passed in 2011 included pay freezes for all teachers and nurses in the first year and a 1 percent increase for top step salaries in the second year. — Jessica Harper

Homecoming week features community-building activities by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

In the past few years, homecoming in Farmington has forged strong bonds between the high school and the rest of the community. With several opportunities for students to interact directly with civic leaders and residents, the events have created positive memories for young and old alike. Tiger pride will continue to shine Sept. 15 to 21 during a host of homecoming week events. Among the notable changes this year are that the coronation and bonfire have moved to the Farmington High School campus. It all kicks off Sunday, Sept. 15, with float building from 4-7:30 p.m. at the Dakota County Fairgrounds. Those who wish to build a float should preregister their group by calling the high

school. The Homecoming Parade, which is expected to include several floats from school groups and a performance by the Farmington High School marching band, takes to the streets of downtown Farmington at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 18. That will be followed by the Royalty Coronation in the high school’s Recital Hall 45 minutes after the parade ends. Farmington students will gather for their traditional bonfire at the school after the coronation. As for the week’s sporting events, the football team will take on New Prague at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 20. Other contests include Thursday night’s slate when New Prague will be the foe for the volleyball team’s Jam the Gym and the boys and girls soccer teams’ Flood the Field games starting at 7 p.m.

The girls tennis squad takes on Chanhassen at 4:15 p.m. for its Crowd the Courts night. Student-only events include Activity Night on Sept. 16, when they will work in teams to find clues during the Amazing Race and later in the night have the Extreme Bowling Tournament. A Taco Tuesday feed is slated Sept. 17 along with Movie Night at the school. During the school day, students will be entertained and educated during the ASA BMX Anti-Bullying Rally, which is organized by a national touring club. It all wraps up with the Homecoming Dance for Farmington students and their guests from 8-11 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 21. Homecoming week for Rosemount High School is Sept. 23-27.

Rebuilding begins at Celts in Rosemount North portion of business may be open this weekend by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The crew at Celts Pub & Grill are thankful for the outpouring of support from the community with prayers, well-wishes and offers of help after a fire damaged the south portion of the 12-yearold business’ building in downtown Rosemount. “Thank you all for your kind words and thoughts,” Celts posted on its Facebook page. “It will be a long road, but

we will get her back up and kicking again. Keep an eye out for future updates. Thank you, everyone.” The fire that reportedly was found at about 7 a.m. Monday morning in the kitchen area by responding Rosemount firefighters was contained to the south portion of the building, which sustained heavy smoke damage. Celts, owned by Brandon Barth and managed by Justin Lecher

in Rosemount, said that the north portion of the business, which has a separate entrance and was added in summer 2004, may be open this weekend to serve beverages only. “At this point, we don’t know anything concrete,” they reported, saying the best way to confirm when it opens will be at www.facebook. com/CeltsPubofRosemount. “Right now we See CELTS, 20A

When Vermillion Kennels co-owner Andi Krapu heard that the Farmington Police Department’s K-9 unit needed funds to compete in the national trials, she started raising money to help send Officer Travis Sundvall and his dog, Bosco, to the Washington, D.C., area. In the past month, Krapu has raised $2,700 after making an appeal to clients at the kennel that often boards some of the area police and sheriff department K-9 dogs. “We know about everyone who comes to the kennel,” Krapu said. “They are all like me. Who wouldn’t want to invest in these dogs? Everyone who comes to the kennel loves pets.” The Lakeville business held a barbecue Sunday to celebrate the successful fundraiser. The event included a K-9 demonstration by Sundvall and Bosco, along with two K-9 units from Burnsville that also qualified for the national competition – Officer Ben Archambault and his K-9

‘The 99’ re-enacts dangers of bad choices

Last two weeks for reality-theater tent by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Hundreds are lining up in Lakeville to witness the deadly consequences of bad decisions in graphic detail. “The 99” walk-through reality theater, housed in a massive 20,000-squarefoot tent in the Celebration Church parking lot until Sept. 22, features 13 hardhitting re-enactments of the leading causes of death among young people in the United States. Organizers say the production’s title is based on Centers for Disease Control reports that say 99 young Americans die daily from primarily preventable causes including homicide, domestic violence and texting while driving. “Today, 31 (young adults, ages 12-25) will lose their life in auto-related accidents,” “The 99’” director Terry Henshaw said. “Seventeen of those would still be alive if they had their seat belt on.” He started the traveling theater about five years ago to help wake young adults to the real consequences of negative choices, often promoted in popular music or glamorized in video games and movies. At the production, visitors are accompanied in groups through 13 rooms where actors vividly portray scenes that include drug overdoses, suicide, gang violence and drunk driving. The rooms look, sound and smell as they would in reality. “Our crack house was designed by drug addicts,” Henshaw said. “We asked them, ‘Do you guys know what happens in a crack house?’ They said, ‘We live in one.’ ” In the crack house scene, garbage litters the floor, disheveled blinds are in a window and intoxicated users perch on tattered furniture using drugs or overdosing as a pregnant girl lies on a bed; an herb mixture pumped into the air simulates the pungent smell of marijuana. “We’ve had police officers go through this and say ‘Man, I’m here every week,’ ” Henshaw said. For some local youths, the warning and message of “The 99” has resonated. Lakeville North High School senior Kourtney Vanalstine plans to go to the event every Sunday night, returning with friends and family in tow.

(Photo by Laura Adelmann) “I like how they show real-life situations and it’s cool how they didn’t sugar-coat anything,” Vanalstine said. Emma Hagen, 13, Lakeville, said she did not expect “The 99” to be so realistic. “It was more scary because I felt like it was actually happening,” the Kenwood Trail eighth-grader said. The experience left her feeling stronger in her convictions to make good choices, even in the face of peer pressure. “It showed where you’d end up and how it affects your family, too,” Emma said. “I know not to do that stuff, and now I know what would happen if I did.” Emma’s mother, Melissa Hagen, said she decided to let her youngest of six children attend the production in hopes it would reinforce wise decisionmaking. “A little shock value is not such a bad thing,” Melissa said. “I hope it will help in her future as she makes individual choices when I’m not available to guide her.” After Emma shared her feelings about the pro-

duction, Melissa also has plans to attend to better understand her daughter’s concerns and perspective. “She was telling me how sad it made her, and the parts that were important to her,” Melissa said. “I just want to get into her mind a little.” Henshaw said 450,000 people around the U.S. have toured the production, and he has received thousands of emails from people who have changed their lives and made better decisions as a result. He said one young man turned over a knife during the weapons check before entering “The 99” and never retrieved it, deciding against his plan to use it to take his life. “He told one of the staff people (“The 99”) had really changed his life,” Henshaw said. “He really wanted to live.” He described the production’s real-life re-enactments as a key reason for its profound effect on people. “It’s the real deal. That’s why it grabs their attention. That’s why it’s life changing.” Visitors must be 12 or older to enter, and are asked to read a written

warning advising pregnant women and people with heart conditions to exercise extreme caution upon entering due to the graphic nature of the production. It takes about 45 minutes to completely tour the event, and visitors can opt out of rooms or leave the production at any time. Counselors are available for prayer and discussion after the experience. Lakeville is the 36th city in the country where “The 99” has been held this year; they are nearly booked for 2014, and Henshaw said he is not sure when “The 99” will return to the Twin Cities. “We go where we’re invited,” he said. Entrance to “The 99” is $3, and is open to the public from 7-11 p.m. Friday through Sunday, Sept. 1315 and 20-22. Interpreters for the deaf will be available during the last weekend. Celebration Church is located at 18855 Kenyon Ave. in Lakeville. More information is at www.whatisthe99.com. Laura Adelmann is at laura. adelmann@ecm-inc.com.

Second annual gala celebrates Kids ’n Kinship

Lions support hospital

Event features Twin Cities musician Tim Mahoney by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lanny Stapp’s vision of retirement was never a golf course. He wanted to make a significant difference, and became a Kids ’n Kinship volunteer, a decision that has given him an opportunity to be involved in the lives of three young men who grew up in singlefamily homes. Stapp’s first experience with one of them, a Lakeville North student being raised by his grandmother after his parents abandoned their children, highlighted the importance of his involvement. “The first thing he said when he got in the car was, ‘So, you really showed up.’ ” Stapp said. Kids ’n Kinship matches adult volunteers, individuals, couples or families, with children ages 5 to 16 from single-family homes and in need of additional support and encouragement. The nonprofit mentoring organization serves Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Farmington, Lakeville and Rosemount with the goal of having children form friendships with responsible, consistent role models. Celebrating the more than 3,000 local youths who have been enriched

through the program, Kids ’n Kinship will hold its second annual gala at Crystal Lake Golf Club 4:30-7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 6. Kids ’n Kinship Executive Director Jan Belmore said the gala last year to recognize its 40th anniversary was so well-received they decided to do it again. “The thing I love about our program is that it’s preventative,” Belmore said. “It brings a lot of joy into children’s lives and our volunteers are people who have a heart to volunteer with children. They are the best in the world.” At the gala, Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom will serve as master of ceremonies, and local musician Tim Mahoney will perform. Guests will be served an elegant sit-down dinner and may participate in a silent auction, wine cork pull and purse tag pull. The program will include a testimonial by a young adult who was once mentored through Kids ’n Kinship. “There are so many great stories,” Belmore said. “What they all have in common is that they start with a child, that for whatever reason, is experiencing isolation, distress in the family, their social skills are not good and they need to build friend-

ships.” Mentors are asked to meet with their mentee once per week. Training is provided, and matches are made through a thorough screening process involving both parties. Stapp said he has taken his mentees to the cabin, taught them to water ski, shown them how to fix cars and shown them how to manage finances. “Sometimes, it’s just being there,” Stapp said. “Many times they don’t have any regular routine in their life. A lot of it is just showing up as opposed to going to Disney World.” Kids ’n Kinship is holding information sessions for people to find out how the program works. The sessions are at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 24, at the Galaxie Library in Apple Valley and at 6 p.m. Monday, Oct. 28, at the Wescott Library in Eagan. Registration for the sessions is being accepted on the organization’s website, www.kidsnkinship.org. Sponsorship opportunities, information and $40 tickets for the gala are available from www.kidsnkinship2013gala.eventbrite.com. Gala tickets for a table of eight are available at the discounted rate of $280. Laura Adelmann is at laura. adelmann@ecm-inc.com.

Taylor Ziebol benefit soccer game is Sept. 13 at BHS A benefit soccer game for the family of Taylor Ziebol will be held at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 13, at Burnsville High School. Taylor, 19, was killed July 11 in a head-on collision with a semitruck near Dodge City, Kan. She was driving with her siblings, Shannon Marie Ziebol, 17, and Richard Adam Ziebol, 15, to visit their grandparents in Texas. The siblings are recovering from their injuries. Taylor played soccer for Burnsville High School and for Ripon College in

Wisconsin. About 35 young women who played soccer with Taylor over the past six years in Burnsville have teamed up with Burnsville High School to create Taylor’s Memorial Soccer Game in the stadium where she used to play. There will be food, a silent auction, a halftime show and volunteer opportunities. There is a Facebook group for the game at https://www.facebook.com/ groups/672634306099173/.

The Burnsville Lions Club is supporting a major renovation of the Fairview Ridges Hospital pediatric unit with a $50,000 donation. The Lions Club chose to fund two rooms for children from a list of needs identified by Fairview Ridges. The rooms are part of a $60 million specialty care expansion at the Burnsville hospital. The pediatric unit renovation includes six larger, private patient rooms and a more comfortable, healing environment for patients and their families. It will be open by mid-October. Pictured with hospital President Beth Krehbiel, center, are Lions Club members Bruce Carson, left, and Roger Richter.

Man charged with assault, kidnapping at Burnsville gas station A 31-year-old Burnsville man was charged Tuesday with two counts of seconddegree assault and two counts of kidnapping in connection with taking hostage two Burnsville gas station employees at gunpoint and having a standoff with police Saturday, according to a release from the Dakota County Attorney’s Office. The following are facts contained in a criminal complaint: Ariel Luis Barnett entered the Holiday gas station at Nicollet Avenue and Highway 13 on Saturday afternoon armed with a sawed off shotgun. He fired the gun into the

ceiling of the store. One customer who was inside at the time ran out of the building. Barnett ordered his former girlfriend, an employee of the store, and another male employee to call police because he was taking them hostage. Barnett allegedly told both of them that their lives were in danger. At 6:15 p.m., Burnsville police were dispatched to the scene and surrounded the gas station. Officers contacted Barnett by phone and talked him into first releasing the male employee and eventually to surrender. Barnett had been in a seven-year relationship with the female victim, and they recently separated after he

was incarcerated in Rice County for 53 days on an unrelated matter. “This appears to be another incident of domesticrelated violence which escalated into an extremely dangerous hostage situation,” Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom said. “Thankfully no one was seriously injured, but the trauma to the victims held at gunpoint was significant.” Barnett’s next court appearance is at 9 a.m. Oct. 8 in Hastings. Bail of $250,000 without conditions ($150,000 with conditions) was set by Dakota County District Court Judge Michael Mayer.

Opinion 360 Communities Dakota Healthy Families prepares kids for school by Jennifer Krekelberg SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The start of the school year is underway and 360 Communities is making investments to ensure that students are well-prepared. We work with community partners to collect school supplies, connect families with resources for food, healthcare (immunizations), and housing, and provide parenting support to ensure parents are able to send their kids to school ready to learn. Each year a new group of students enters kindergarten and their future experience in school hinges on how well prepared they are intellectually, motivationally and socio-emotionally. That preparation begins at birth and the quality of early childhood education plays a critical role in a child’s future success. A child’s first teachers are their parents. 360 Communities Dakota Healthy Families works with first-time parents to ensure they have the skills to develop strong relationships with their children that strengthen emotional bonds and promote the development of socially confident children entering school. All parents want their children to be successful in school. However, according to the 2011 Minnesota Department of Education Minne-

Guest Columnist

Jennifer Krekelberg sota School Readiness Study, more than 40 percent of children entering kindergarten are not ready in areas of literacy (41 percent are not proficient), math (48 percent are not proficient), and socioemotional development (44 percent are not proficient). Gabriela and Mateo are one couple who decided to access the DHF program to ensure their child would be ready. They were both 21-year-old Ecuadorian immigrants who moved to Minnesota from New York. When their daughter Maria was born in 2007, the hospital referred the couple to DHF. Gabriela first moved to the United States when she was 12 and is bilingual. Mateo had just recently immigrated to this country and did not speak English. The couple had financial stress and little support from family. Neither of them had experience with infants, and they did not know what to expect in terms of developmental milestones.

DHF Home Visitor Ana Rivera connected with the family and, being bilingual, she was able to communicate with the couple in Spanish and establish a strong relationship. The couple took turns taking care of the baby while working opposite shifts because they could not afford child care. During the first two years, Ana worked with both parents together and one-on-one until Mateo needed to return to Ecuador to take care of his immigration papers. She supported the parent-child relationship by facilitating fun activities and interactive discussions with each parent. These activities provided important early learning opportunities for Maria and helped Gabriela and Mateo develop a keen awareness of Maria’s communication cues. This helped them respond to her in a nurturing and sensitive manner. While Mateo was in Ecuador, Gabriela lived as a single mom. Ana was there to provide regular support as Gabriela struggled to manage everything on her own. Ana’s strength-based approach helped boost Gabriela’s confidence as a parent and gave her the tools needed to focus on Maria even during times of great stress. A 2002 research study by The Kauffman Early Education Exchange reported that “(the) quality of early relationships

(is) a far more significant influence on early learning than are educational toys, preschool curricula, or Mozart CDs … A solid base of emotional security and social competence enables children to participate fully in learning experiences and form good relationships with teachers and peers.” When parents respond to their babies needs in an empathetic and sensitive way, children develop a secure attachment and learn to regulate their strong emotions. The ability to self-regulate will eventually help them to maintain focus and attention in school. According to the Kauffman study, the preschool years are also a pivotal period for development of school readiness. In the preschool years, the activities during DHF home visits promote a sense of achievement and motivation. The parent’s involvement and pride in their child’s accomplishments as preschoolers is also an important factor to develop school readiness. The 2009 Metro Alliance for Healthy Families Summary Report found that of families in the metro area participating in the home visiting program, 95 percent of children tested in the average range for behavioral and emotional milestones.

Garage sale sign placement problematic in area communities by Don Heinzman SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Garage sales have become a staple in many communities. People go garage “saling” Fridays and Saturdays. Some communities, like Rosemount and Burnsville, even have citywide garage sales. Messing around with these garage sales and location of their signage, however, may not be good politics. Within seven days, some estimate 220 people will have garage and estate sales in the Twin Cities area. Communities have sign ordinances that cover where to place garage sale signs, but few are reluctant to crack down on violators who stick their signs in the public rights of way. After all, a lot of work went into making or obtaining those signs that are vital for a successful sale. During these tough economic times, some garage merchants need that extra money. Garage sales also are a good way for those who want to get rid of “trash” that some might deem “treasure.” In Elk River, some residents are upset because the City Council decided to re-

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Don Heinzman move all signs, including signs for garage sales, from the right of way, as required by the ordinance. Fire Chief John Cunningham, who oversees the code enforcement, is in a hot spot. He’s enforcing the ordinance that does not allow any exceptions for sign placement, even for garage sales. He doesn’t have garage sale sign police. He has a code enforcer who, among other duties, removes a sign if it’s in the right of way and takes it to the city maintenance facility, where the owner can retrieve it. Cunningham said garage sale signs are legal in Elk River when placed on private property, typically 10 to 15 feet from the curb. All signs are forbidden in public rights of way, including along county and state highways. If it were legal to place

signs on public property including the right of way, residents could find displeasing signs, protected by the First Amendment, in front of their homes. “I think we might have upset residents when they find signs in front of their homes advertising or promoting issues or items they are not fond of,” Cunningham said. Recently the Elk River City Council discussed the ordinance and decided in a close vote to enforce it. This is in line with one of the city’s major goals to enhance the beauty of the city. The problem is people leave the signs up after the sale, tarnishing the city’s appearance. The council agreed to have some educational materials developed to inform people about the ordinance. Mayor John Dietz said this is a fight the city cannot win. Council members talked about educating the public this year and enforcing the ordinance the next. Dietz, who wanted the ordinance to be enforced part of the week, was out-voted. He predicted: “I just think we’re asking for trouble here.” Judging from some letters to the editor and the local buzz, the mayor is correct.

Gwen Smith wrote a letter explaining how she bought an ad and paid money for some nice signs, as usual, but not as many people showed up. She discovered the city had taken her sign down and was told politely the signs were on public land. She said: “I ask who is the public? Aren’t we entitled to drive on the roadways, walk on the public sidewalks and therefore use the little strip of dirt alongside it for summertime sales?” Cunningham said they did a survey of surrounding communities and most prohibit signs on the rights of way, on poles and in intersections. The City Council isn’t against garage sales and signage. They are enforcing the ordinance and making no exceptions. The mayor said: “There’s a lot of people who consider this a hot-button issue, … a lot who have garage sales, and this isn’t going to go away.” Stay tuned.

Letters Obermueller would ease college debt To the editor: Every parent of a college-age kid knows what I’m saying when I talk about tuition increases that have gone out of sight. Six-digit debt was not the kind of future most of us looked forward to when we got our diploma. That’s the kind of world Mike Obermueller is concerned about. In running for Congress, it’s a major item on his platform to work at reducing that kind of cost for parents and students, when tuition and loan costs have escalated beyond the means of many of us. In seeking proactive solutions, Obermueller isn’t tied to remedies that may not work in favor of parents. If education is good for our country, it should be available to all the young people in it. So Obermueller has supported early childhood and family education for all, even those kids whose parents have to work three

jobs to feed their families. Preschool can be prohibitively pricey for lower-income parents. Obermueller has noticed that police chiefs, sheriffs and prosecutors have taken a stand for the value of early education, and he’s seen that it hasn’t been a main priority for many in the U.S. House of Representatives, including those in the majority like the local incumbent, John Kline. Obermueller wants a proper emphasis placed on those programs that are proven winners for Minnesotans. Without investment in the most productive priorities, our state can slide into mediocrity. Obermueller is committed that here in the 2nd District young people should be able to realize their potential. PAUL HOFFINGER Eagan

Choosing the greater right

“How can a Christian say no?” was very well written and I agree with most of it. However, she totally lost me when she wrote: “How can a Christian say no to allowing every woman the right to choose for herself about her own body?” And then goes on to say: “America is about giving rights, not taking them.” I agree with the latter, which is why Roe v. Wade and the whole abortion rights movement is a grave atrocity, since it takes away the rights of the unborn. To Ms. Sandoval’s question how can a Christian be opposed to the so-called “right to choose” I say the answer is quite simple: This socalled “right to choose” infringes upon a much greater right – the right for humans to be born at all. In my opinion, this is both un-Christian and un-American.

Who is really listening? To the editor: Sandy Sandoval wrote a letter in the Aug. 30 edition about “How can a Christian say ‘no’?” It was long and to the point. It emphasized the hypocrisy in some Christians. She was totally right in pointing out that this country has a problem. The real problem, I believe, is that none of the right people are really listening or have given up trying to right many wrongs, i.e., Supreme Court, our legislators. Many of these “Christians” at times don’t see the connection – “Bless them Father for they know not what they do.” Also, many in the GOP are Christians by faith, yet they simply follow the mantra of political policy, according to the party.

Doing the levy math To the editor: In the interest of transparency and full disclosure, I provide the following information on the cost of the School District 196 levy request being placed on the ballot this November. As publicly announced,

the annual net cost on an average market value property of $225,000 would be $184. But that’s only for the first two years. Then, in years three through 10, the net cost rises to $360 annually. This is because approval of the new levy will terminate the existing levy, which only has two years left on it, and replace it with a new 10-year term levy. This effectively extends the current levy eight years while adding $184 per year for the duration of the new levy. The math looks like this – $184 x 2 years = $368 + $360 x 8 years = $3,248. So here’s another perspective. In the levy proponent’s vernacular, that could be 649 pizzas over 10 years! I hope to see this complete information included in future newspaper articles and School District 196 presentations. Cast your ballot as you wish, but do so with full knowledge of the cost.

Suicide Prevention, I encourage everyone to get involved in suicide prevention efforts whether they have been affected by suicide or not. As the surgeon general said, “Preventing suicide is everyone’s business.” So what can you do? Learning how to recognize warning signs and risk factors such as depression, changes in behavior and increased use of drugs or alcohol are critical. Take any threats of suicide seriously. Talk about it. It is a myth that asking someone about suicide will put the “idea in their head.” Those who are worried about someone, asking them if they are thinking about suicide can save a life. Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (8255) if you or someone you know is in crisis.

Eagan insurance agent accused of filing fake policy applications by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

An Eagan insurance agent faces felony charges for allegedly filing and profiting from fake insurance policies. Dewitt Alonzo Davison, 32, was charged in Dakota County court on Aug. 20 with felony theft by swindle â&#x20AC;&#x201D; aggregating. According to the criminal complaint, Davison filed numerous fake insurance applications using either fictitious or relativesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; names to collect the commission.

Apple Valley church celebrates expansion Grace Lutheran holds dedication ceremonies for two-story addition by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

It was farm fields and vacant lots as far as the eye could see when Apple Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grace Lutheran Church opened in 1964 at Pennock Avenue and County Road 42. As the area grew in the ensuing decades with housing and commercial development, so did the church. A new sanctuary was built in 1979, followed by another addition in 1990. Nearly 50 years after the first service was held at Grace Lutheran, the 2,000-member church celebrated its latest expansion last Sunday. Dedication ceremonies were held to mark the completion of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;west wingâ&#x20AC;? addition â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a twostory addition that will be used primarily for youth groups and education programs. The churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead pastor, Rev. John Matthews, led the dedication ceremonies as part of the 8:45 and 10:15 a.m. worship services on Sunday. Congregation members packed the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new atrium as the Grace choir sang â&#x20AC;&#x153;Built on a Rock.â&#x20AC;? Among those in attendance was the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s founding pastor, Rev. Gerhard Knutson, who was presented with a brick from the original 1964 building. A new church sign along Pennock Avenue, as well as a freshly surfaced parking lot, were included in the $3.3 million expansion project, which was designed by Apple Valleybased CNH Architects and built by Langer Construction of West St. Paul. As part of the project, the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1964 building was demolished. The land on which it stood, on the west side of the church, will become a fire pit area for the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth

filed by Davison allegedly used three of the same bank account numbers to pay for the policies, causing the insurance company to become suspicious. In January 2011, the company contacted the Minnesota Department of Commerce, which investigated the matter. The departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investigation allegedly revealed that Davison, who worked for the company as an agent since July 2010, received $32,088.78 in commission on 88 applications for 22 policyholders between Sept. 3, 2010, and Oct. 17, 2010. However, 19 of those policyholders didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist and the two who did exist didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know about the policies. Only one application was from a valid customer. On all 21 fraudulent applications, Davison allegedly forged the signature of the purported applicant. In an interview with Department of Commerce

investigators, Davison allegedly admitted to filing the fraudulent applications and said he would be willing to repay the money. Davison, who worked from home, also allegedly admitted to using his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name and forging their signatures on some of the applications. When asked, Davison said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the exact amount of commission he received for the fake policies. He allegedly told investigators he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;having money issuesâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;got in over his head.â&#x20AC;? Davison has prior convictions for petty misdemeanor theft and misdemeanor domestic assault in 2009 and 2008, respectively. If convicted, Davison faces up to 10 years in prison.

Eagan woman gets fake company credit card, charges $14,000, police say An Eagan woman is accused of stealing more than $14,000 from her employer by fraudulently obtaining a company credit card. Wendy Marie Bacon, 41, was charged in Dakota County court on Aug. 5 with four felony counts of financial transaction card fraud. According to the criminal complaint, Bacon was in charge of accounts payable at the business and obtained a company credit card without her employerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knowledge in 2007. She allegedly

used the card to purchase clothing, cell phones, electronic gaming systems and other personal items. Bacon incurred $14,000 in charges between 2007 and 2012, the complaint stated. Bacon was fired from the business in May 2012 when company officials allegedly discovered she had stolen money from the petty cash drawer. Upon being confronted by company officials, Bacon allegedly admitted to taking the money and said she had hoped to reconcile the fund. Bacon

allegedly told her employer she took the money to care for her children. Upon reviewing company records further in October 2012, the businessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; chief financial officer discovered the allegedly fraudulent credit card and notified police. Officersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attempts to speak with Bacon were unsuccessful, according to the complaint. If convicted, Bacon could face up to 10 years in prison on each count. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jessica Harper

Man charged with police car vandalism Joshua Joel Dircks, 24, of Farmington, was charged with criminal damage to property, a felony, after allegedly vandalizing police cars in late August in the Farmington Police Department parking lot. The morning of Aug. 26, a Farmington police officer noticed several damaged squad cars in the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parking lot. Upon re-

viewing the surveillance video, officers observed a male throwing rocks through squad car windows at 9:55 p.m. Aug. 25. After police posted a still of the video on its website and through social media, Dircks turned himself in. According to the police report, Dircks admitted that he damaged the police cars and that he was intoxicated

at the time. The estimate to repair the squad car windows is more than $1,500. The charge carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

U.S. Rep. John Kline, R2nd District, has come out against U.S. military strikes in response to the use of chemical weapons in Syria. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For more than two weeks, the president has failed to convey to the American people a clear objective for military intervention in Syria. He continues to offer no persuasive rationale, which is why I cannot support the presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request at this time for U.S. military strikes in Syria,â&#x20AC;? Kline said in a statement Tuesday. He issued the statement

after returning to Washington, D.C., to review classified material, attend classified briefings with the Obama administration and participate in a House Armed Services Committee hearing Tuesday morning on President Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal for military action in Syria. Testifying at the hearing were Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, Secretary of State John Kerry and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey.

Bovee brothers earn Eagle Scout awards The Bovee brothers David, 17, and Jonathan, 16, will be honored in a combined ceremony at 2 p.m Sept. 15 at Farmington Lutheran Church as having earned the highest advancement award the Boy Scouts of America offers, the Eagle Scout Award. As his Eagle Scout service project David chose to build a veterans memorial for Empire Township, located at the Town Hall Park, 3385 W. 197th St. David has been elected to hold positions of leadership within Troop 118 such as senior patrol leader, assistant senior patrol leader, patrol leader, assistant patrol leader, quartermaster and troop guide. David is a senior at Farmington High School and is a swimmer on the boys swim and dive team. He is also a member of the Tigersharks Swim Club. Jonathanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service project created a lasting memorial to honor the memory of faculty and students at Farmington High School who have died. The memorial area is near the main entrance of Farmington High School. Over the last several years Jonathanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership positions with Troop 118 have included serving as chaplainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aide, quartermaster, scribe, patrol leader and assistant patrol leader. Jonathan is a junior at Farmington High School and is a div-

er for the boys swim and dive team. He is also a competitive MAGA gymnast as a member of the Northfield Gymnastics Club boys team.

Data show positive trends in Mississippi River Research continues with 10-year MPCA project to assess river’s health by T.W. Budig SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Bald eagles pluck fish from lengths of the Mississippi River, once so polluted as to be nearly without fish. Other signs show a resiliency in the big river, a capacity to heal, suggesting environmental transgressions, properly atoned, may be forgiven. Former Department of Natural Resources Commissioner Gene Merriam, of the Freshwater Society, looks to the future of the Mississippi River and other waters with mixed emotions. “It can vary day to day,” Merriam, a member of the ECM Publishers board of directors, said of his belief in humanity’s ability to live sustainably. Still, history shows that commitment, good law and adequate resources can bring positive change. “And the Mississippi is a good example,” Merriam said of the river that flows along Dakota County’s northeast border, including a 2-mile stretch along Rosemount. More data for judging is coming in. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency is assessing the state’s

largest rivers. During the next five years, MPCA crews will be checking fish, aquatic invertebrates, water chemistry and other indicators of health in the Mississippi, Rainy, Minnesota, Red and St. Croix rivers. First is the Mississippi, with MPCA crews testing and sampling from Itasca State Park at its headwaters to St. Anthony Falls in Minneapolis. On a recent sunny morning, a MPCA boat slipped off the Mississippi shoreline downstream from Columbia Heights, electroshock cables dangling in the water like feelers. The crew, with nets in hand, stood on the bow, ready to scoop-up what the river offered. At the helm was MPCA research scientist Michael Feist, who attended Coon Rapids High School and who is no stranger to the Mississippi. “I swam in the river all the time,” Feist said. “I probably still would today. And up by Anoka, there’s no problem. I wouldn’t hesitate.” Feist and his crew were finishing one phase of the river assessment. Aquatic invertebrate sampling and water chemistry testing continues.

RIVER, from 8A widening in the Mississippi River below Hastings â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in an even manner. Only about a quarter of the load is coming from the Upper Mississippi, according to the report. More than half, 52 percent, comes from the Minnesota River. The Minnesota River is a heavy actor in terms of sediment pollution, too. Sediment, tiny bits of dirt or plant material, darkens the water and fills in river beds. About 75 percent of the sediment in the Mississippi comes from the Minnesota River basin, according to the report. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estimated the sediment load on Lake Pepin is about 10 times the pre-European settlement rate. Starting in the 1930s and over the ensuing three decades, the sediment load to Lake Pepin more than doubled from 300,000 to 700,000 metric tons a year, the report notes. The 30-year period coincides wetland drainage, the intensification of agriculture, ditching to farmland and increased urban development.

2013 Festival spotlights children’s author Nolan She is a former counselor at Lakevile Elementary Nancy Nolan named the main character in her first book after a beloved family pet. And she originally planned to have the character be a talking dog – but decided against it because she thought it might send mixed signal to kids reading “Mr. Munson’s Itvice.” In the book, Mr. Munson is a school counselor – human – dispensing advice to a student about friendship. “My son adopted a greyhound from the racetrack,” she said. “(In the book) Mr. Munson was originally going to be a greyhound dog, but we thought it might be confusing for kids to have a greyhound as a school counselor.” Nolan, a Lakeville resident who recently retired from her job as school counselor at Lakeview Elementary, is the featured literary artist at this year’s Lakeville Art Festival Sept. 21-22. She’ll be doing readings of “Mr. Munson’s Itvice” each day of the festival – at 10:45 a.m., 12:45 p.m. and 3:45 p.m. Published this year by Beaver’s Pond Press, “Mr. Munson’s Itvice” is No-

friends – is something Nolan dealt with frequently in her job. “In my experience, most of the reasons children would write a note or ask to meet with me had to do with friendship issues,” she said. “For some children, the making of “She wrote, ‘Dear Mrs. friends comes easily, but Nolan, I need some itvice,’ ” Nolan recounted. “She got the word ‘advice’ and ‘itvice’ mixed up, but she knew exactly who to ask for advice.” The book’s theme – the importance of making

for others it’s more difficult. Making friends, and keeping friends, is what this book’s all about.” Nolan and Scadden plan to do a series of Mr. Munson books, and have already begun work on the second installment, tentatively titled “Mr. Munson’s Itvice on Bullying.”

Sports Irish throw shutout at Eastview, even their record Defense dominates in SSC rivalry game by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Although it’s too early in the season to call it a must-win game, Rosemount linebacker Nate Sackett didn’t hesitate to call his team’s 24-0 victory over Eastview an important one. “Eastview’s always been one of the games we get up for, and we haven’t played them in a while,” said Sackett, a senior captain. “We really wanted this game.” Rosemount dominated Friday night’s South Suburban Conference football game on the statistics sheet, and by the second half the Irish also started dominating on the scoreboard. Rosemount quarterback Jackson Erdmann threw three touchdown passes, two to Dimitri Williams, while the defense held Eastview to 164 yards. The Irish were able to limit Eastview standout running back Will Rains to 33 yards on 19 carries. It was the first game between the schools since October 2011, when Eastview won 49-13 in the section quarterfinals. Because of a South Suburban Conference schedule rotation, Rosemount and Eastview did not play last season. Eastview coach Kelly Sherwin said after Friday’s game there was no sense in trying to deny the obvious. “We played like we practiced this week, and we had a rough week of practice,” Sherwin said. “We were outplayed and out-physicaled.” Rosemount (1-1) might

already have established itself as one of the top teams in Class 6A. The Irish lost to Wayzata 24-21 in double overtime in their season opener – a game Sackett said they believe they should have won – before dismantling Eastview, a state quarterfinalist last season. Sackett said he sensed no panic among the Irish after the opening-week loss. “I don’t know about the other guys, but for me one game wasn’t going to make or break our season,” he said. “A lot of us were here last season when we started slowly then made a run in the playoffs. We felt we were going to improve after our first game, which we thought we kind of gave away, and I think we did improve.” Rosemount will be a heavy favorite against Bloomington Kennedy at 7 p.m. Sept. 13 at Bloomington Stadium, but there are some tough games ahead. The Irish play both of last year’s South Suburban co-champions, Lakeville North and Prior Lake, as well as Lakeville South, which on Friday defeated the same Wayzata team that beat Rosemount. Eastview ran as many plays as Rosemount, but had less than half of the Irish’s 352 yards. “Our coaching staff is always in the game,” Sackett said. “Last year when we started playing well it was because of some adjustments our coaching staff made, and we had confidence in the game plan they had for us (Friday). “To be honest, we weren’t overly concerned about stopping Will (Rains). I mean, we know

Rosemount linebacker Nate Sackett pursues Eastview’s Will Rains during the Irish’s 24-0 victory Friday night. (Photo by Rick Orndorf) he’s a good player, but he’s one guy and we have 11. Every time he carried the ball, we had three or four guys on him.” The Lightning (1-1) crossed midfield twice and never advanced beyond the Rosemount 28-yard line. Sherwin said he was surprised Rosemount was able to contain Rains “because that really hasn’t happened before, and it’s a credit to Rosemount. We made a lot of mistakes, which our kids are going to see on the film, and

it will be up to us to fix them.” Sherwin said the Lightning held up well in the first half, which ended with Rosemount leading 7-0, and added that different outcomes on a couple of plays could have led to Eastview being tied or even leading at halftime. On one of those plays, Lightning quarterback Mark Dwyer found Montrell Moore with a wellthrown deep ball down the sideline, but a Rosemount defender knocked the ball out of Moore’s hands be-

fore he could secure it. Erdmann and Williams connected for a 33-yard touchdown pass early in the second quarter. Williams caught the pass crossing the field, then shed an Eastview tackler before speeding down the sideline. It was still a one-score game in the third quarter when Tyler Hartigan caught a 20-yard touchdown pass from Erdmann. The Irish added 10 points in the fourth quarter on Cole Jalivay’s 20-yard field goal and a 16-yard pass

from Erdmann to Williams. Erdmann completed 16 of 25 passes for 220 yards. Williams had seven catches for 108 yards and rushed seven times for 47 yards. Trent Woodcock led Rosemount in rushing with 71 yards on 15 carries. Moore had three catches for 48 yards for Eastview, which plays at Lakeville North (2-0) at 7 p.m. Sept. 13.

Tractor Trophy stays in Farmington Tigers rally to beat Northfield, remain undefeated by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Mason Auge returned an interception 65 yards for a touchdown to complete Farmington’s comeback in a 21-14 victory over Northfield in Missota Conference football Friday night. The victory ensured that Farmington will retain the Tractor Trophy, awarded to the winner of the game between the schools. The Tigers have won the last three games in the rivalry. Farmington might keep the trophy for a while, as the schools are entering different conferences in 2014 – Farmington to the South Suburban, Northfield to the Big 9. The Missota Conference is disbanding after the 2013-14 school year.

If this was the final game of a series that dates to 1891, the Tigers and Raiders made it memorable. Farmington (20) won despite falling behind 14-0 in the first quarter and gaining only 24 yards rushing. The Tigers’ comeback started with a 31-yard touchdown pass from Tyler VanWinkle to Jordan DeCroock in the first minute of the second quarter. VanWinkle threw a 35-yard touchdown pass to Mac Bassett on fourth and 15 midway through the third quarter. The score remained 14-14 until Auge grabbed a tipped pass and returned it for a score with 5:20 remaining. VanWinkle completed 16 of 21 passes for 234 yards and two touchdowns.

One of Farmington’s neighboring schools, Lakeville South, was eighth in the 12-team field. The Maroon Division was one of three divisions at Saturday’s invitational. Defending state Class AA champion Edina won the Gold Division, which had several of the state’s topranked teams. Hutchinson was first in the Bronze Division. Rosemount and Lakeville North competed in the Gold Division, placing fifth and sixth. Farmington junior Kirsten Kracke sprinted to the Maroon Division championship in the 50 freestyle, finishing in 25.11 seconds.

K-9, from 1A working,” Krapu said. “It takes a lot of training. The amount of training that goes into these dogs is amazing.” She said the officers are great guys who want the people to know who they are and know that the dogs are trained to be aggressive only when commanded. “One minute, they attack someone wearing the bite sleeve, and the next minute, they are getting a hug and a kiss on the neck from a child,” Krapu said. Krapu is impressed with the dogs that demonstrate tremendous focus, patience and bravery. “That is a very unique combination,” she said. She said it was an honor and a pleasure to raise the funds for Sundvall and Bosco. “He deserved to go,” Krapu said of the U.S. Patrol Canine Association’s National Patrol Dog Field Trial, which will be Sept. 29 to Oct. 3. Sundvall and Bosco graduated from the St. Paul Canine Training Center in May 2010. The school’s 12-week of training course is recognized nationally and around the world for its ability to teach highly trained canineofficer teams. Both Echo and Razor were imported from eastern Europe and bred specifically for police work, according to the city of Burnsville. Both dogs completed St. Paul Canine Training Center course before going to work, where they also are used for criminal apprehension, tracking, evidence search and recovery, and narcotics detection. The K-9 units are funded in part through a matching grant from the St. Paul Canine Foundation and donations. Donations are used to support K-9 unit equipment and

Eighty-five percent of children tested in the average range for cognitive and physical development. In 2012, our DHF staff provided in-home visiting to 102 families, completing 1,240 home visits. Gabriela, Mateo and Maria graduated from the DHF program in 2012. At a recent pre-kindergarten screening, Maria tested at a first grade level! “I cannot believe how smart she is!” Gabriela told Ana, “You helped us so much – I do not know what we would have done without Dakota Healthy Families!” In the past year, Mateo was able to return to the United States and recently, Gabriela gave birth to a second daughter, Isabella. She called Ana to see if she could continue with Dakota Healthy Families. Ana told her that the couple didn’t need her anymore – that Maria’s progress was the result of the couple’s hard work and that she and Mateo were now skilled parents who knew what to do. Gabriela and Mateo’s experience with 360 Communities Dakota Healthy Families is not unique. In a parent satisfaction survey, 93 percent of DHF parents reported that they felt their home visitor supported them in their parenting and helped them to better understand their child. Eightyseven percent stated they would recommend this home visiting program to other parents. Studies have shown investment in early childhood education has far-reaching impacts. The development of strong, confident and self-sufficient adults begins at birth. When kids are supported early and develop strong relationships with parents, they have a greater opportunity to flourish in school and later in life. For society, this is an investment that pays off with a more productive and contributing citizenry coupled with a decrease in generational poverty and crime. Jennifer Krekelberg is supervisor of 360 Communities Dakota Healthy Families, which is a member of the Metro Alliance of Healthy Families. 360 Communities is Burnsvillebased nonprofit that provides hope and support to people by engaging communities to prevent violence, ensure school success and promote long-term self-sufficiency.

AS SWEET AS CANDY! Candy is a beautiful Calico girl who is so sweet we had to name her Candy! Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had a very tough life and yet remained sweet and loving through it all. Her person lost her job and put Candy on a farm, which scared and confused her. Candy was used to sleeping in her personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bed, and had no front claws, and she had a terrible time. Candy was clearly not a farm girl!

Luckily, someone from Last Hope learned of Candyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plight and arranged to bring her to foster care. Candy was finally in a place she could be comfortable again! Candy is a real doll and is a people girl. She will meet you at the door with little squeaks of joy. She loves to snuggle up next to you and roll over for belly rubs, or just sit next to you and be close. She likes to climb on your lap and sleep on your tummy. She also likes to play like a little kitten. She is almost 10 but you would never know it (check out her video!) http://youtube/vYuvfp4Sens Candy is vet checked, FeLV negative, current on all her vaccinations, spayed and declawed. She just had a dental. Candy has many years ahead of her; could they be with you? Adoption Fee $90. Foster Mom Judy: 952-492-2331, weidtje@gmail.com

CELTS, from 1A can’t put time frames on things.” Still, they project that the kitchen won’t be ready for use at a minimum of a few weeks, and it will take several weeks to open the south portion of the business at the corner of 145th Street and Highway 3/South Robert Trail. “The best way people can support us is by continuing to support our other establishments in Farmington and Inver

Grove Heights,” they said. They said they want to thank the firefighters and emergency personnel who responded and controlled the fire from inflicting more damage. Celts said it was unable to put an estimate on the damage and does not know the extent to which items need to be replaced in the kitchen and south portion. The north portion of the building, they said, required a thorough cleaning by a professional fire restoration company

to remove smoke residue. Nothing had to be disposed of on the north side besides liquor bottles that were already open, they said. Rosemount firefighters, along with those from neighboring Apple Valley, arrived on scene to find smoke coming out of the building and a fire in the kitchen area, according to Rosemount Fire Chief Richard Schroeder. He said there was heavy smoke damage as crews were still working

at around 9 a.m. to clean up the damage with fans running through open doors of the bar and restaurant. Celts posted a message on its Facebook page saying: “Unfortunately, Celts Pub of Rosemount had a fire early this morning and will be closed until further notice. No one was in the building at the time and everyone is safe. We thank you for your support and patience.” A call placed to the Rosemount fire marshal has not been returned. Celts Pub has been a gathering place for many, like the “public houses” in Ireland that Celts hon-

ors with its Irish-theme in a community that celebrates its links to the Irish homeland of many of the township’s founders. One local resident wrote on Facebook that her kids were just asking the other night when they could go eat there. She said she hopes Celts is open in time for her husband’s birthday party. “We don’t know where else to celebrate our family’s birthdays,” she wrote. The business has been active in the community through its sponsorship of local activities, involvement in Rosemount Leprechaun Days and hosting a bluegrass music

series, among other efforts. More than 60 people had commented or responded to Celts’ post about the fire as of Wednesday. It’s not the first time that Celts has had to close a portion of its location in Rosemount due to a mishap. In June 2010, a motorist drove her vehicle through the mostly glass north-side wall that faced the busy street corner undergoing a construction project at the time.
