Anger, warnings and warmth at Anarae Schunk’s memorial 1,000 mourn 20-year-old homicide victim by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Anarae Schunk was described Oct. 6 as an “old soul” — an uncommonly bright and perceptive young person who thought deeply, wrote gracefully, loved unconditionally and trusted unreservedly. Mourners packed the 1,000-seat auditorium of the Burnsville Performing Arts Center to memorialize the 20-yearold Burnsville woman, who was reported missing Sept. 23 and whose body was found Sept. 30 in a rural Rice County ditch. Police believe she was killed in Rosemount Sept. 22 after her ex-boyfriend allegedly murdered Palagor Obang Jobi of Savage outside Nina’s Grill in Burns- Mementos of Anarae Schunk’s life were on display Oct. 6 at the ville at closing time.

Partners in Higher Education may have to drop the first word in the name of the post-secondary school in Apple Valley after it was announced that Dakota County Technical College would no longer be offering classes there when the first semester ends in December. Some students at the

school are fighting the college’s decision and petitioning to keep the site open until the current class graduates in 2015 or at least the end of the 2013-14 school year. College officials say classes and instructors will move to the main Rosemount campus as another cost-cutting measure that another partner, Inver Hills Community College, made in 2012

when it discontinued courses at the site. St. Mary’s University is expected to be the lone partner left in January 2014 unless others are found. Gena Bilden, associate vice president at St. Mary’s, says the university is committed to the site and is negotiating with the city of Apple Valley, See DCTC, 15A

Profits from the municipal liquor stores in Farmington for 2013, even after a long winter and nonexistent spring, are continuing to grow. Blair Peterson, who took over as the liquor operations director about a year ago, reported at Monday’s Farmington City Council meeting that the overall net profit by the end of August was approximately $168,000, nearly double from a year ago, and net sales as of Sept. 30 was up $88,427 over last year. There are two locations for the Farmington municipal liquor stores — one at 18350 Pilot Knob Road and another in downtown at 109 Elm St. It was a healthy recovery after a slow start. Peterson stated the Pilot Knob location fell behind after a late start to spring, but both stores were rejuvenated during the summer, especially during events such as Ramble Jam and Dew Days. Farmington has run municipal liquor stores for decades, using the profits to fund city operations such as the city parks programs and pool, SchmitzMaki Arena and the Rambling River Center.

The city-run Farmington liquor stores’ profits continue to rise. (Photo by Andy Rogers) Peterson reported that $10,000 of the profits will go toward the Farmington Veterans Memorial, which is being built in the west end of Rambling River Park. Peterson also presented the Farmington VFW with a check for $400 from the proceeds from a “Folds of Honor” promotion the liquor stores ran during the summer. “We’re extremely proud to support the community as much as the community is supporting us,” Peterson said. Profits haven’t been steady, drawing attention from the city. Council members have expressed doubts in the past about whether the city should even be in the liquor business. Sales lagged in 2010 (0.4

percent profit, or $17,935) and 2011 (2.5 percent, or $107,903), but perked back up in 2012 thanks to a renegotiated lower rental rate at the downtown liquor store and increased traffic next to the Family Fresh Market with a overall net profit of 6.4 percent, or $281,542. In 2013, Peterson launched several new marketing initiatives such as a wine tasting at Celts Pub. They will be at Celts Pub for at least the next year with five tasting events scheduled. The next wine tasting is 6 p.m. Nov. 14. The liquor stores are also in the midst of a food drive. They’re accepting nonperishable foods and monetary donations.

Suspects in custody in Farmington burglaries They used garage door openers to enter occupied homes by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A short time later, the stolen credit cards were used at Apple Valley and Eagan Walmart stores and Holiday gas stations. The police released surveillance photos of three of the suspects on its Facebook page Oct. 2 and a few hours later a party identified one of the members. Eventually all three were identified and detained. Another suspect is still at large. The suspects were not local residents, according to the police. Although Farmington is a relatively quiet city – Farmington had 33 burglaries in 2012 compared to 123 in Lakeville

Farmington police have detained three burglary suspects who allegedly used garage door openers to enter two residential homes and used stolen credit card at area businesses last week. Sometime between 3-5 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 1, two occupied homes on Elk River Trail and Echo Drive were burglarized by suspects, who first went into unlocked vehicles and used the garage door openers to make entry into the homes.

When she was 7 years old, she was learning to play violin, and began playing French horn at the age of 10. The senior at Rosemount High School continues her love of music as a singer and a member of the marching band. “I grew up a classical musician,” she said, “so it’s been an experience for me doing marching band stuff.” Holtze says she was part of the Minnesota Youth Symphonies from fourth to 10th grade, setting the foundation for her music

She began singing classically since seventh grade, and has been singing ever since. Along with violin and French horn, she also plays piano and mellophone. Holtze also excels academically. Her classes include Advanced Placement courses in psychology, literature and statistics. She also takes French, Honors physics, choir, and band. As a theater student, she said she once had to dye her hair red for her role of Lucy in the production of “Jekyll and Hyde.” Steve Olsen, band director at Rosemount High School, said Holtze is “a very rare student.” “Maddie is one of those students, as a high school music teacher, this is my 33rd year of teach-

ing, students like Maddie come along once in a career,” Olsen said. He said her multiple talents go beyond her music, and are seen in her academics and her personality. “It’s not just the talent,” he said. “It’s the work ethic, it’s the open mindedness, and it’s the willingness to think creatively, think outside of the box. Maddie is full of ideas, takes direction well, and also has ideas to contribute.” Outside of class, Holtze is an active member at Hosanna Church in Lakeville. She has done an internship in the music department. She is part of the youth worship team, working with young people. Holtze also has many hobbies besides music. She

loves football and hockey, and spends her free time watching the Minnesota Vikings and the Minnesota Wild. “I do love hanging out with my friends,” she said. “But I do like my alone time, too. I love to read, and hanging out with my family.” Holtze is beginning to apply to multiple colleges. She says she’s applied to the University of Minnesota and colleges in New York, Chicago, and Canada. Holtze says she wants to continue her musical career after high school. “I want to major in vocal performance,” she said. “Or maybe double major in history or English. But I definitely want to do music.”

City, school district form joint committee Members appointed at recent meetings by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Farmington city and school district had so much to talk about during a joint meeting this summer that officials want to continue meeting throughout the year. A recently formed intergovernmental committee between District 192 and the City Council has been formed. Christy Jo Fogarty and Douglas Bonar volunteered to join the committee during Monday’s council meeting while School Board members Jake Cordes and Brian Treakle were appointed at a meeting in September. The members will meet quarterly to update each other on current plans and discuss shared interests. Bonar suggested an in-

tergovernmental committee during a joint city and school meeting July 22 “to talk about what are the things we can do from a policy perspective to work together toward a mutual goal,” Bonar said. “We all have a shared interest on what we can do together.” During the meeting last summer the two entities shared updates and future plans. The city and school district share many of the same interests related to construction, transportation, finances and city growth. The city and the district already work together during events such as elections, Blue in the School program, Grow Farmington, the Community Expo, Pollution Prevention Day and Patriotic

Day. The city also places a resource officer in the high school and middle school. It should also lead to more educated members. “The public expects us to know what everybody else is doing,” Fogarty said. “I get questions about the school district, and they don’t always know we’re a different entity.” “People were asking me all the time how much those iPads cost,” Mayor Todd Larson said. Treakle suggested the possibility of combining services and employees during the committee meetings. They would also like to continue meeting annually as a large group.

Sun emerges for blessing in Rosemount Hundreds attend St. Joseph event with their animals by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The sun parted the clouds for a while as hundreds of people participated in the Blessing of the Animals at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Rosemount on Saturday, Oct. 5. While the animals were not led two-by-two to be blessed by deacons and the Rev. Paul Jarvis, the lead pastor at St. Joseph, there was a sense of divine intervention amid the sunshine. Later, rain visited the fundraiser, which included a “marathon” that had to be moved inside the school. “The event was still a hit, and all money raised by the event will support St. Joe’s education, technology, and a few wishlist items,” said Dann Hurlbert, parishioner at St. Joseph. Jarvis said the Catholic tradition of blessing animals goes back to the Middle Ages when St. Francis, who tradition holds was a deacon, started the practice. “Blessings simply ask God’s grace upon a person, often dedicating that person to God’s purposes,” Jarvis said. “We Catholic Christians also bless other creatures and inanimate things, such as houses and engagement rings and churches and graves and icons and much, much more.” The event included the blessing of a “Remembering Tree” for All God’s Creatures, which holds photos of pets and animals who have died. Jarvis said Latin American Christians have a tradition of blessing cars, and in port cit-

(Photo contributed by Leo Avenido) ies, Catholic priests annually bless fleets of fishing vessels. “It’s all amazing,” he said. “And if someone hasn’t seen these blessings yet, well, they should treat themselves next time.” Several groups helped sponsor the event including the Saintly Seniors and the Home and School Association. In addition to the feast of St. Francis, St. Joseph also celebrated the 10year anniversary since the opening of the church at Biscayne and Connemara. It was opened Oct. 5, 2003. “While 10 years may be reason enough for a celebration, it’s worth noting that St. Joseph’s has actually been an of-

ficial church since 1868,” Hulbert said. In 1924, the church moved from south of Rosemount to downtown Rosemount in the facility that became Rosemount’s Steeple Center in 2010. During its life, St. Joseph has spawned three area parishes: Risen Savior in Apple Valley in The Rev.

Opinion Local schools receive important state award by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

What does it take to help students from low-income families succeed? One hundred thirty-one Minnesota district and charter public schools have just earned an important state award because they have answers. They have earned the Minnesota Department of Education designation of “reward schools.” This includes district and charter schools in Burnsville-Eagan-Savage, Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan, Farmington, and Lakeville. Brenda Cassellius, Minnesota commissioner of education, released a list this week of the state’s top 15 percent of the 853 Minnesota public schools receiving federal funds to help students from low-income families. These awards were part of a Minnesota Department of Education announcement showing that many of Minnesota’s schools are making progress on statewide tests. What I heard over and over in talking by phone or email with more than 25 district and charter leaders around the state were: • Everyone in the school believing they can make a big difference is vital. • Success comes in part from regular measurement to see which students are

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Joe Nathan gaining the expected skills and knowledge. • After assessing students, it’s important to give some students additional assistance. Young people learn at different rates. • There’s no single best curriculum. • Many of the most effective schools have found ways to work closely with families. • It is not necessary to “teach to the test.” A rich, engaging curriculum, plus other strategies mentioned above, helps young people make progress. Area schools, listed by area, receiving the honor included: • Burnsville-Eagan-Savage: Edward Neill Elementary and (for the third time) Gideon Pond Elementary. • Farmington: Farmington Elementary (recognized for the third time). • Lakeville: Lake Marion Elementary (recognized for the third time). • Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan:

Deerwood and Greenleaf elementary schools. A list of all Minnesota schools receiving these federal funds, and their MDE designation, is available here: http://bit. ly/1g1Pd0g. Here is what I heard from leaders at some of the schools that the Minnesota Department of Education is honoring. Ben Januschka, principal of Farmington Elementary, told me in a phone interview: “We’re proud of our test scores. We have a ‘State of the School’ discussion at the beginning and end of the year. We firmly believe that the test scores are a byproduct of other things we do. It boils down to the relationships. We work hard to help the child be successful. We try to connect and work closely with parents. A few years ago we developed a diversity committee – again, it’s about developing relationships. Youngsters need at least three significant adult relationships.” Januschka praised the “very experienced staff that has been very open; teachers constantly are talking with and listening to youngsters.” John Braun, principal at Lakeville’s Lake Marion Elementary School, which MDE has recognized three times, wrote via email: “I am honored and humbled that our school has been recognized as a Reward School by the Minnesota De-

partment of Education for the third year in a row. This honor is a testament to the hard work of all our students and staff and the tremendous support we receive from our parent community. Our systematic K-5 approach to literacy and math instruction, along with the deep commitment of all our staff to help our students grow academically and socially, has enabled our students to flourish.” These two are among the 131 schools statewide that were given the “reward school” designation. The commissioner also praised 27 schools whose scores previously landed them at the bottom but have now made enough progress to have their low-performing designation removed. Cassellius told me in a phone call that she hopes to make much more use of the state’s most effective district and charter public schools. This might be, for example, via summer workshops with other schools. That’s a very good idea. Progress is possible. These schools are helping show how it can be done.

Mixed reviews on year-round school programs by Don Heinzman SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Some parents wish their children could attend a year-round school because they think three months of summer vacation is too long. Most Minnesotans believe school shouldn’t start until after the last day of the Minnesota State Fair. Several schools in the Twin Cities area have year-round schedules, with students generally studying 45 days with 15-day breaks and one-month summer vacations. Each has a unique program. One year-round elementary school is Harambee in Maplewood, where Kathy Griebel is the principal. The 435 students started school there Sept. 3 and will finish July 30, with breaks of two weeks or more in November, over the winter holiday and in February and May, and they’re off in August. Even during the breaks, students who are behind in their lessons can get special help. As you would expect, principals of year-round schools say having a shorter summer vacation enables students to settle in easier and to spend less time reviewing.

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Don Heinzman

Griebel said her students don’t suffer from having only one month of summer vacation. She believes that having school in June and July is particularly good for children from poor families, because they get to experience summer trips to libraries and museums they normally couldn’t afford. National research backs up her claim. Teachers also welcome the 15-day breaks as times to reset and develop lessons and techniques. As for student progress, Griebel said she and the staff agree that students are making good growth and learning the standards. Crosswinds year-round school in Woodbury concentrates on science and the arts. It is governed by the Perpich Center for the Arts. The 173 students

attend school in June and July and have August off. The Cambridge-Isanti School District, specifically in Isanti, has a different version of a year-round school program. It offers the year-round and the traditional programs in the School For All Seasons for grades K-5. The Minnesota Center, for students in grades six through eight at the Isanti Middle School site, offers the same choices. At the School For All Seasons, 225 students began their studies on Aug. 1. Their schedule includes three trimesters each of 12 weeks. Between those sessions, students and teachers take a break of between two and three weeks. The summer vacation lasts six weeks. This year, 450 students began their studies following the traditional calendar program at All Seasons. Principal Mark Ziebarth said the number of teaching days is the same for both calendars. Ziebarth sees advantages in both programs. Teachers in the year-round school spend less time reviewing material for students who come back July 31. Students study more lessons outside and explore more with activities like collecting insects.

Parents seem to like the longer break in October when they take vacations. As for playing summer sports, Ziebarth said students play sports in June and July. Do students fare better in the yearround school? Over the years, Ziebarth hasn’t seen a significant difference in student achievement for those who study in the year-round and those in the traditional program. Nationwide, test data for year-round schools, compared to the traditional calendar, also shows mixed results. Some parents said they like the yearround school in Isanti because students study in smaller classes and get to know one another well. If the year-round school is so good, why don’t more schools use that model? Most parents are accustomed to the traditional calendar they followed when they went to school, and apparently that’s not about to change for their own children.

Letters Levy yes vote strengthens schools, communities To the editor: “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” – Nelson Mandela I ask all residents of Rosemount-Apple ValleyEagan School District 196 to show their support and care for our community by voting to replace the existing 2005 levy referendum with a new levy that will help the district maintain its outstanding quality and programs. When we moved to Rosemount just over eight years

ago, the advice we received over and over again was “just make sure you are in School District 196.” It was very good advice. Our children are now in elementary school and like all parents, we want them to have every opportunity possible. My daughter is a fourth-grader who will be very disappointed if fifthgrade band is eliminated. She currently sits in a class of 28 students, and if class sizes increase even more, how can we expect our teachers to effectively teach? How will our kids succeed and lead in a competitive global economy if the quality of our schools cannot be maintained? The great news is that

we can maintain the quality and level of programs with an average home in the district seeing an increase in their property taxes from 2013 to 2014 of less than $5/month when factoring in the recent reduction of the general school levy. So don’t be alarmed at the polls when you read the statement that you are voting for an increase in property taxes with a yes vote. For most people, it is a cup of coffee or two. That is a small price to pay to maintain the educational quality and programs that District 196 is known for. Please vote yes on Nov. 5 to support our children and teachers, our com-

Vikings stadium could be a prototype for future projects by Steven Shaver

Guest Columnist

SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

At the Minnesota Viking’s new stadium unveiling in May, I must admit that I was fully prepared to be, if not disappointed, at least underwhelmed. Rumors had been circulating in the days prior, that the design team, HKS Inc., had given up on a retractable roof and frankly, I couldn’t see what they could come up with to compensate for this perceived “must-have” feature. At first sight of the drawings of the ingenious solution they had come up with — a five acre translucent ETFE (a plastic-like super hard, yet light weight co-polymer resin) south exposure roof, it occurred to me that this design, if it works as designed, could be the prototype design for all future NFL stadiums in a northern climate. This design, with a light-weight roof and framing structure to hold it in place solves three problems a retractable roof would have created. First, the one most mentioned in the media, the cost. The enormous steel superstructure necessary to

LETTERS, from 4A

house a retractable roof would have added tens of millions to the cost of the project. By scrapping the retractable roof, HKS was able to add features no one expected, including five giant pivoting glass doors on the west-side entrance, which will allow in even more light and provide for a spectacular view of the downtown skyline. Second, this design with a less complicated roof, will allow the project to be completed in a fairly short construction timetable. With the dismantling and demolition of the Metrodome to begin immediately in January after the conclusion of this Vikings home season, opening day in the new stadium is set for September 2016, just 32 months later. Brian Trubey, lead architect for HKS, knows that building a stadium with a retractable roof can be a complicated thing. Besides building the Dallas Cowboys new stadium, Trubey was also involved with the construction of Miller Park in Milwaukee.

Brookings-Tax Policy Center, and now House Republicans refuse to end these breaks for the wealthy, even if it means the country fails to pay its bills and our economy shuts down. The Associated Press reported that “the gulf between the richest 1 percent and the rest of America is the widest it’s been since the Roaring ’20s. The very wealthiest Americans earned more than 19 percent of the country’s household income last year – their biggest share since 1928, the year before the stock market crash. And the top 10 percent captured a record 48.2 percent of total earnings last year.” Kline’s interests are not with Minnesota working families.

an important step toward guaranteeing that they receive the wage protections they deserve while protecting the right of individuals to live at home. Kline consistently votes against the interests of workers. Since taking office Kline has voted “no” on increasing the minimum wage. In the same breath Kline has voted again and again to protect tax breaks for the ultrawealthy and provided subsidies for corporate special interests at the expense of America’s middle class. Several of these corporate special interests are Kline financial supporters. Under Kline’s budget people making more than $1 million per year LAWRENCE G. would receive a $245,000 SANDOVAL tax cut, according to Savage

Statesman not brinkman To the editor: I am excited to send a statesman like 2nd District candidate Mike Obermueller to Congress. He realizes that we need more than a politician representing our district in Washington, D.C. A statesman must possess four critical qualities: a bedrock of principles, a moral compass, a vision, and the ability to build a consensus to achieve that vision. The brinkmanship we have seen from our current representative doesn’t show any compassion, morality or a vision to help those people who are without health insurance, thus without health care. He surely isn’t trying to build a consensus by trying to defund the Affordable Care Act that was passed two years ago. I thank Mike Obermueller

This retractable roof design was unique in that it featured pie-slice shaped roof parts which closed on an arc-shaped track beyond the outfield fence in this baseball park. Tragically, the 42-month construction schedule was extended another full year, when a crane lifting a 400-ton piece of the roof, toppled over in high winds in July of 1999, nine month before the scheduled opening. The design for the Vikings new stadium contains just one heavy, steel structure, the “spine” which will run east and west supporting the very top of the V-shaped roof. The Miller Park roof contains many thousands of tons of steel, while the Vikings roof will be much lighter in weight. Which leads to the third advantage of this lightly-designed roof. It will provide for a larger and more even lighting effect on sunny afternoons. The problem with retractable roofs is that no matter how large the opening, in the fall and early winter, a fraction – often about half – of the field will be in brilliant sunlight, while the other half will be in dark shadows, creat-

ing a problem for both the fans at the game and the camera crew televising the game, as well as the home viewer. The computer-generated video of what a game in this stadium would look like shows the entire playing field in gently-diffused sunlight. This will be accomplished even though the south-exposure ETFE roof will cover just 60 percent of the field, but the angle of the roof and the low angle of the late-year sun will allow sunlight over the entire field. If this design works as their computer models show them, HKS may have converted a budget-busting “problem” into a revolutionary new model for future enclosed stadiums to play like an outdoor stadium. As Trubey put it, “We believe that clear is the new retractable.” Steven Shaver is a Farmington resident and longtime journalist with experience in covering the opening of new professional sports stadiums.

Farmington author Jim Hoey It’s time writes Vikings trivia book to play ball Third sports trivia book for former teacher by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

People in this state like to bloviate about the Minnesota Vikings like few other cadres of fans. Count Farmington’s Jim Hoey as one of them. He likes to talk Vikings so much he wrote “Minnesota Vikings Trivia,” which was published in September. It answers more than 1,200 questions about the Minnesota Vikings, but Hoey would almost prefer you call it an “informational book.” The book features chapters devoted to coaches, stadiums, players, playoffs, controversies, mistakes and triumphs of the past 50 years. Hoey is a living encyclopedia of sports facts. This is his third trivia book. His book “Puck Heaven” about the Minnesota state high school hockey tournament was published in 2011 and “Minnesota Twins Trivia” in 2010. A Minnesota publisher out of Cambridge, Nodin Press, has published all three of his books. He choose the 50-year anniversary of the Twins to publish his first sportsrelated trivia book. He played in the state hockey tournament in his youth and coached high school hockey, so it was an easy

choice to write a book about high school hockey. He’s also passionate about the Vikings, so it seemed like the next logical book idea. The Vikings were an expansion team when he was a 9-year-old boy living in Bemidji in 1961. “Their training camp isn’t that far from Bemidji and you start remembering things when you’re about 9,” Hoey said. “It was a pretty exciting time to have professional sports in Minnesota. The Twins had just started a few months (prior). Not all the Vikings games were on TV either. You had to listen to them on the radio.” The late 1960s and the 1970s were exciting times for Viking fans. “They were probably one of the top two or three teams for 12 years,” Hoey said. “They were the best team that never won it. That’s kind of a shame. They were incredible. They were a tough team. They didn’t lose by much if you beat them.” He was at college during the Vikings heyday in the 1970s when the team made four trips to the Super Bowl. Fans have their heartbreak but nothing like Jan. 11, 1970 when the heavily favored Vikings lost the Super Bowl to the Kansas City Chiefs. But that’s just one of the facts covered in the book. “I’m a big sports fan,” Hoey said. “I had a lot

of these thoughts on my brain. I’d start thinking about coaches and I’d find plenty of things to write about. It’s a smorgasbord of things. I double-checked everything. Sometimes you think you know the answer. You find things you didn’t realize.” He was surprised to discover that the Vikings have had three losing seasons in a row just twice. No other team in the NFL can say that in the past 50 years. “It shows they’ve always been fairly competitive,” Hoey said. “I thought I might have to change that last year, but they came out of nowhere. They’ve had bad years or two, but rarely for three.” Other surprising facts? Former Minnesota Gopher Dave Winfield was drafted by both the Twins and the Vikings. Daunte Culpepper and Fran Tarkenton were two of the best running quarterbacks in history with the 13th and 15th best running averages. NFL Hall

of Famer John Randle entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent. There’s also a chapter of the infamous. “There’s many forgettable instances,” Hoey said. “I could have put a lot more in there, but I wanted to keep it clean.” He spent seven months researching and writing the book. “A book like this is ripe for problems with so many names, numbers and dates on each page,” Hoey said. Hoey feels like this is where his trip through sports trivia books will come to an end. His next idea is to write an autobiographical book about his days as a teacher as well as a biography of Edina hockey coach and Olympian Willard Ikola. Hoey retired as a teacher, but he took a job this year as an athletic director at Trinity School in Eagan, which keeps him plenty busy. But in his free time, his favorite thing to do is to talk sports and meet the people who are interested in his book. “When I wrote my Twins book, it was so fun to meet the people who are passionate about the sport and sign it for them,” Hoey said. “My brother-in-law always said: ‘You won’t write a book until you have the right reason.’ I’m doing this because I think people with enjoy it. I get a charge out of people when they say it’s great.” His book is available at Amazon.com, and through him at ajehoey@ comcast.net or 651-9947870. “All the money goes to charity and I enjoy talking to people and signing the books,” Hoey said.

Young people are often criticized for watching too much television and playing too many video games. Judging by the growth of youth sports programs in Rosemount, apparently there are a lot of lonely TVs and computers in town. Due to increased participation in Rosemount Area Athletic Association baseball and softball programs, two new fields for ages 13 and under were opened this fall at UMore Park, and Rosemount says it’s time to play ball. The new fields built for softball and baseball aim to relieve a scheduling crunch for area teams. In past years, RAAA’s in-house baseball program had to limit the number of teams due to the lack of field space, according to Brian Richardson, a member of the board of directors for RAAA. “This has resulted in team sizes larger than desired, and at times, required us to schedule two events on the same field at the same time,” Richardson said. RAAA had the highest number of 10-and-under traveling teams last year, according to Rosemount Parks and Recreation Director Dan Schultz. “I don’t see the relief coming any time soon with more teams and more kids,” Schultz said. “We keep seeing good growth. (Field development) is what we are here to do, and that is good.” The fields, just south of County Road 42, were built using a combination of city funds and a land dona-

tion from the University of Minnesota. “We are very excited to have these two new fields begin to be available to us as we have been very short on adequate field space for our baseball and softball programs,” Richardson said. He said the fields are proof of the excellent partnership RAAA has established with the city of Rosemount and the Parks and Recreation Department in defining and meeting the needs of the programs. Richardson said these fields will be leveraged Sundays through Thursdays and provide an opportunity to host future tournaments. Schultz said hosting tournaments is positive for the entire community as those who come to town often eat and shop in local businesses. Tournaments also are used to raise funds for sponsoring organizations like RAAA. More fields are slated to be built in 2014 on the north side of County Road 42 on Akron Avenue. The 57-acre property that was donated to the city by Flint Hill Resources is under construction to provide more baseball and softball diamonds. The land donation was valued at $2.7 million and other business have chipped in inkind services to develop the fields. “RAAA appreciates the time and effort that was put forth to plan, and now bring to fruition, these new fields, which will allow our young athletes an outlet to remain active,” Richardson said.

Roundabout alternative a growing trend statewide Dakota County has roundabouts in nearly every city by T.W. Budig SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The fastest and safest way to drive between two points may be through a circle. With their strategic pedestrian crossings, one-way traffic flow, Uturn friendliness and slowing effect on speed, roundabouts can move traffic smoothly, safely and at reasonable costs, highway experts say. In Minnesota, about 119 roundabouts have been built. The Minnesota Department of Transportation has been completing up to 10 roundabouts a year over the past few years, MnDOT engineer Ken Johnson said. Within the metro, Dakota, Hennepin and Washington counties boast the most roundabouts. But they’re also found in Chisago, Mille Lacs and in other Greater Minnesota counties. About 29 roundabouts are on the drawing boards across the state, including a new potential roundabout on County Road 50 near Kenwood Trail Middle School. The city of Farmington plans to reconstruct 195th Street by widening the lanes, adding turn lanes and adding potential roundabouts at Pilot Knob in 2015. “The roundabouts that have been installed in Edina are working very well,” Edina Director of Engineering Wayne Houle said in an email. As anyone who has gulped while watching a car rocket through a red light can attest, intersections can be hairy. About a third of all intersection fatalities occur at signalized intersections in the United States, according to the Federal Highway Administration. About 700 Americans are killed every year in red-light running crashes, it notes. Roundabouts offer an alternative. Studies reveal sharp decreases in accident rates, severity of injury and number of fatalities through the use of roundabouts. Roundabouts play a role in Minnesota’s declining highway death rate, Johnson indicated. A roundabout was installed in October 2008 on Highway 3 at the entrance to Southern Hills Golf Course in Farmington. A recent study in Wisconsin, which has more than 200 roundabouts and

is aggressively building more, conducted by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation and University of Wisconsin researchers focusing on 24 roundabouts in the Badger State, showed the number of fatal and injury crashes dropping by about half. A 9 percent accident rate decrease across all 24 roundabouts was achieved. Roundabouts are proving themselves in Minnesota, too. A study by MnDOT of roundabouts on Highway 5 in Washington County, Highway 7 in Carver County and Highway 13 in Scott County showed an overall 41 percent decline in crashes, with a 70 percent decline in injuries, and no fatalities. This is compared to two fatalities prior the construction of the roundabouts. The Highway 13 and County Road 2 roundabout west of Elko New Market has been profiled by the Federal Highway Administration as a textbook example of where a roundabout quieted a deadly intersection after steps like larger stop signs, striping and flashing lights fell short. A Scott County official called the roundabout wildly successful. While studies show accident rates on multiple-lane roundabouts as similar to other intersections, crashes tend to be less severe, Johnson said. That’s because, though rear-end collisions or sideswiping occurs, chances for violent, T-bone style crashes are greatly reduced. Cost of constructing roundabouts is comparable to constructing signalized intersections, between $1 million to $1.5 million, Johnson said. Mini-roundabouts, or roundabouts where the island in the center is simply a round hump, can cost much less. The islands are not designed for pedestrians; that’s exactly where traffic engineers do not want them to congregate, Johnson said. The islands are designed to help guide traffic through the roundabout; in some cases, a raised inner apron around the island is constructed for truck use. County engineers look at roundabouts as another transportation tool. “I certainly expect the number (of roundabouts) to grow,” Washington County engineer Joe Gustafson said. Currently, a handful of roundabouts are proposed for various locations in Washington County. The

county’s website offers “Roundabout U,” a page where the public can learn about navigating roundabouts. The knowledge is increasingly useful. Dakota County recently opened a new roundabout on Dodd and Highview in Lakeville. “There’s a little bit of a learning curve,” Johnson said about the public’s reaction. Studies show that about twothirds of the public have negative impressions of roundabouts prior to construction, he said. But within a few months of openings, the perception flips to largely positive, Johnson said. “Some people love them. And they want them everywhere,” Anoka County highway engineer Doug Fischer said. One group not overly fond of roundabouts are specialized truckers. John Ehr, of Perkins Specialized Transportation of Northfield, described the chances of their trucks hauling their oversized loads successfully through roundabouts as “very problematic.” Trying to get around a roundabout usually means finding an alternative route, Ehr said. Ehr credits Wisconsin officials as being more receptive to the needs of speciality truckers. How many roundabouts will Minnesota ultimately have? Johnson points to Australia, to the State of Victoria, similar in population and size to Minnesota. In 1972, there were three roundabouts in Victoria, he said. Today, there’s 5,000. “To me, that’s kind of staggering,” Johnson said. Nationally Minnesota is in the top 10 percent in terms of building roundabouts, Johnson said. But it doesn’t match the flurry to the east. While MnDOT has been building up to 10 roundabouts a year, Wisconsin has been churning out 50 a year, Johnson said. Gov. Mark Dayton drove on roundabouts in Massachusetts and is less than passionate about them. “I can’t say I was fond of them,” Dayton said. “(But) I understand their (MnDOT’s) strategy, which is to maximize the efficiency of a substandard system,” he said. The city of Brooklyn Park built the first roundabout on a state-aid roadway in Minnesota in 1995.

Police seek suspect in TCF Bank robbery Police are seeking the public’s help in identifying the man who robbed the TCF Bank branch inside the Apple Valley Cub Foods on Tuesday afternoon. Police were called to the bank located at 15350 Cedar Ave. at 4:12 p.m. Tuesday on a report of a man who presented a demand note to a bank teller, obtained an undisclosed amount of cash and then fled the scene on foot. The suspect was last seen traveling east on foot through the Cub Foods parking lot. No weapon was displayed and no injuries were reported in the incident.

Police described the suspect as a white male in his mid-20s, between 5-foot-8 and 5-foot-10, weighing 140 to 160 pounds, with a mustache and goatee. He was wearing a blue “Zoo York” hooded sweatshirt with white lettering, white-striped cuffs and a white-striped banded waist at the time of the robbery. He also had on a Boston Red Sox baseball cap and light-colored denim jeans. Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to contact Apple Valley Police Detective Brian Bone at 952-9532881. —Andrew Miller

Black and white and red all over (or at least in its eyes), the loon shares that description with Minnesota’s newspapers! In fact, more than 3 million Minnesotans regularly read newspapers in the course of a week.

Most District 196 schools see improved MMR scores Handful of schools struggle with new accountability rates by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

After receiving mixed results on Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accountability standards last year, District 196 schools have shown improvement. More than half (23 of 30) schools in the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District improved their overall scores from last year on the Multiple Measurement Rating assessment, according to data released by the Minnesota Department of Education. The new system â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which rolled out in 2012 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is based on the results of the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments in math and reading, the academic growth of individual students, graduation rates and the scope of a schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s achievement gap between upper-income white students and lower-income minorities. All Minnesota public schools receive an MMR score, which is represented as a percentage that is calculated from points

earned in the aforementioned areas. Up to 25 points are given for each area. The MMR is part of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waiver that replaced federal standards under the No Child Left Behind law. Secondary schools within the district made significant gains between 2012 and 2013. At the high school level, Eastview made the most improvement with a 28.8 percent increase, followed by Eagan High School with 24.47 percent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the first time in a long time every secondary school made AYP (Adequate Yearly Progress),â&#x20AC;? said Michelle DeMers, assessment coordinator for District 196. With a score of 98.03 percent, Eastview has the highest MMR score in the district. Of the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s middle schools, Valley Middle, which has an MMR score of 85.26 percent, showed the most improvement with a 63.56 percent increase. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the biggest swing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever seen,â&#x20AC;? DeMers said. Though Dakota Hills didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t improve as much as Valley Middle, it has an MMR score of 87.48 percent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the highest among District 196 middle schools. Though nearly all middle schools in the district showed improvement this

year, one school, Scott Highlands saw a 5.35 percent decrease with a score of 74.15 percent. More than half of the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 18 schools improved their MMR scores. Of the 13 to improve, three â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Pinewood, Deerwood, and Diamond Path â&#x20AC;&#x201D; improved by more than 30 percent. All three schools had scores of approximately 90 percent. The districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance is significantly better than last year when half of its schools had a decrease in MMR scores, which were based studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; performance in 2010-2011. Four elementary schools continued to have falling scores. Schools with high concentrations of poverty that receive federal Title I funding may also receive a designation as Reward, Celebration Eligible, Continuous Improvement, Focus or Priority. District 196 has 10 Title I schools â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Cedar Park, Deerwood, Echo Park, Glacier Hills, Greenleaf, Oak Ridge, Parkview, Rosemount, Southview and Westview. Schools that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t receive Title I funding donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t receive a designation. Reward schools are the highest-performing 15 percent of Title I schools in the state. Deerwood and Greenleaf

received this designation for the second consecutive year. Echo Park, Glacier Hills, Oak Ridge and Rosemount received a Celebration designation, which applies to the highest-performing 15 to 25 percent of Title I schools in the state. Although they receive Title I funding, Parkview, Cedar Park, and Southview didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t receive designations. Only one school, Westview, received a Continuous Improvement designation, which applies to the lowest-performing 15 to 25 percent of Title I schools in the state. Westview received a score of 16.21 percent, which is a 27.01 percent drop from last year. The primary reason for the decline, DeMers said, is a drop in student proficiency in math. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The district will be looking into it and plan to provide support,â&#x20AC;? DeMers said. Valley Middle School received a low score of 21.70 percent in 2012 but rebounded this year. Jessica Harper is at jessica.harper@ecminc.com or facebook.com/sunthisweek.

Have a heart Benefit to help Jarvis family pay medical bills by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

When the Rev. Paul Jarvis collapsed while working at St. Joseph Catholic Church, he didn’t know if he would survive the heart attack much less be eating some pancakes a few months later. Eating some flapjacks is just what Jarvis and others will do Sunday, Oct. 13, when a Rosemount Knights of Columbus fundraiser will be held at the Rosemount church in order to defray medical expenses related to Jarvis’ aortic dissection, which left him with about $3,000 to pay. While the event is an opportunity to raise money, Jarvis said he is even more pleased at the prospect of being able to convey his personal thanks to so many people who helped him out during his recovery. “Please know how humbled I am by the thousands of cards, the 70,000 hits on CaringBridge, the prayers … the untold ad-

Rosemount Youth Commission hosts ceremony for underpass The Rosemount Youth Commission will host a formal ribbon cutting on Oct. 23 for a pedestrian underpass that will support the safety of students and others when crossing a busy stretch of South Robert Trail/Highway 3. The underpass is below Highway 3 near the Rosemount Community Center. It provides the safest crossing of the highway between Connemara Trail and 145th Street West, an area that includes the high school, middle school, and Rosemount Elementary. Construction crews worked in July and August to build the structure,

which includes sections of precast concrete 14 feet wide and 10 feet high. The highway was closed for a weekend in early August to allow excavation of the road and placement of the concrete. The underpass project cost approximately $900,000, paid out of Municipal State Aid funds. Planning began almost 10 years ago, as traffic in the area increased and the GlenRose residential development grew on the east side of the highway. Along with providing safe routes for current pedestrians, the underpass is part of a larger regional

plan for the area eventually to develop a trail system from Lebanon Hills Regional Park to downtown Rosemount and then east to the Mississippi River. The ribbon cutting will take place Wednesday, Oct. 23, at 3:15 p.m. Participants are encouraged to park in the Community Center parking lot and walk south on the trail to the underpass opening on the west side of Highway 3. Representatives from the city, Rosemount Middle School, and Rosemount High School will join the event.

Dakota County maintains AAA bond rating According to two private independent rating services, Dakota County once again earned the highest possible ratings for its financial management,

keeping its AAA rating on outstanding general obligation debt. Standard & Poorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ratings Services affirmed the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s AAA rating under the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new criteria. S&P has also given Dakota County the highest financial management assessment of â&#x20AC;&#x153;strong.â&#x20AC;? This is an increase over the â&#x20AC;&#x153;goodâ&#x20AC;? that was designated in August. AAA and â&#x20AC;&#x153;strongâ&#x20AC;? are the highest designations in their respective categories. Moodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Investors Service also affirmed the AAA rating and said it reflects Dakota Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diversified tax base, wellmanaged financial operations, healthy reserve levels and low debt burden. For more information about the rating, call Dakota County Finance Director Stephanie Shawback at 651-438-8318.

This much we know: The Rosemount-Lakeville North football game Oct. 16 will help decide who wins the South Suburban Conference championship. What isn’t known yet is how much control each team will have over its fate. That will be determined by their games Friday night. Rosemount (5-1 overall, 5-0 SSC) leads the conference going into its game at Bloomington Jefferson at 7 p.m. Lakeville North (5-1, 5-1) will play at Eagan that night. If Rosemount and Lakeville North win – and both go in as favorites – their Oct. 16 meeting at Rosemount would be for the conference championship. Prior Lake (4-2, 4-1) is still in the race but needs to win its final two games and have Lakeville North and Rosemount lose at least once each. Bloomington Jefferson (3-3, 3-2) remains in contention mathematically but needs a miraculous set of cir-

Rosemount maintained its conference lead with a 35-7 victory over Lakeville South on Oct. 4. Junior running back Dimitri Williams scored three times and senior cornerback Conner Yepsen returned an interception for a touchdown for the second consecutive game. The Irish took the lead with 23 seconds left in the first quarter on a 21-yard touchdown pass from Jackson Erdmann to Williams. On the first play of the second quarter Yepsen

returned an interception 14 yards for a score. Later in the second, Erdmann threw a 74-yard touchdown pass to Tray Ashby-Phan and Williams scored on a 3-yard run. It was 27-0, and the runaway was on. Williams scored his third touchdown on a 1-yard run early in the third quarter. Lakeville South (3-3 overall, 2-3 SSC) scored on an 8-yard pass with 8 minutes, 22 seconds to play.

Farmington’s hopes of winning the final Missota Conference football championship dimmed considerably when the Tigers lost at home to Chanhassen 21-13 last Friday. The loss to Chanhassen was Farmington’s second in a row after opening the season with four consecutive victories. The Storm gained 359 yards on the ground, and two Chanhassen backs ran for more than 100 yards. Farmington opened the scoring in the first quarter with a 1-yard touchdown run by quarterback Tyler Van Winkle. Chanhassen scored one touchdown in the second quarter and two more in the third before the Tigers responded with a 7-yard scoring pass from Van Winkle to Jordan DeCroock. Van Winkle completed 16 of 31 passes for 210 yards.

Local runners show up in force at TC Marathon by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Numerous runners from the Sun Thisweek Newspapers coverage area competed in the Twin Cities Marathon on Sunday. More than 11,000 started the 26.2-mile race in downtown Minneapolis and 8,852 finished it at the state Capitol in St. Paul. Runners from the United States won the men’s and women’s championships, and women’s winner Annie Bersagel

has some local ties. Bersagel, 30, attended Valley Middle School in Apple Valley and later lived in Lakeville. She now lives in Oslo, Norway, but has several family members who live in Minnesota. Bersagel attended high school in Colorado and was a five-time NCAA track and field All-American at Wake Forest University. The Twin Cities Marathon was only the third marathon of her career and the second she has completed. Her winning time was

2 hours, 30 minutes, 52 seconds, and she earned $25,000. Nicholas Arciniaga of Flagstaff, Ariz., was the men’s winner in 2:13:11, finishing three seconds ahead of Josphat Boit of Mammoth Lakes, Calif. Highlights involving local runners: Farmington – David Dykhuizen finished in 3:18:05 to lead 40 Farmington residents. Top finisher among women was Erin Basavage (3:32:54). Lakeville – Michael Olivier led 89 Lakeville

residents with a time of 2:57:19. Megan Smith was the fastest woman in 3:08:20. Rosemount – Robert Ploetz, 43, finished in 2:58:35. Diane Weyrens was the top female finisher in 3:30:59. Thirtyfour Rosemount residents completed the marathon. The average time for finishers was 4:17:35. More results from Twin Cities Marathon races are available at mtceresults. com.

South Suburban Conference activities except Alpine and Nordic skiing. One of the challenges is finding games for lowerlevel teams. Tschida said he learned that many SSC football programs have two 10th-grade teams, while Farmington has one. He said he was told the conference has been able to work around those differences in the past. The biggest question might be how Farmington will stack up athletically against the other schools in one the state’s strongest conferences. “I think in a lot of sports we’ll be competitive right away,” Tschida said. “Some programs might need a little more TLC, but we’re prepared to do that.” When Farmington and Shakopee join the South Suburban, it will give the conference two schools that opened in the 19th Century. Tschida’s family has long-standing ties to the Farmington district. His grandmother, who’s 102, is a member of the Farmington High School Class of 1929. That wasn’t the only reason he came to the district. “It’s a challenge, career-wise, because it’s a much larger school district,” he said. “Here, we could have four different teams playing at four different sites.” Tschida had been principal at Holy Trinity High School (enrollment: 86) in Winsted, Minn., since 2007. The school sponsored athletics as part of a cooperative with Lester Prairie. Tschida had been head volleyball coach for the co-op and worked with the team for 2 1/2 weeks before leaving for his new job in Farmington. Before Holy Trinity, he worked as an administrator at several other Minnesota schools, including Adrian, Sleepy Eye-St. Mary’s and WatertownMayer. He also has coaching experience in baseball, volleyball and hockey. Tschida was hired at Farmington a week before school started and had to hit the ground running. “A lot of people to meet, a lot of names to know,” he said. “That’s ongoing.” There’s been no time to create a long-range plan for his vision of Farmington athletics and activities. Tschida said he does, however, hope to help with fundraising for the various programs. One thing for which fundraising could help is an irrigation system for the high school’s practice fields, which were becoming parched before last week’s rains. In the short term, though, his goal is to keep FHS smoothly on course toward its new conference.

The notion that Farmington is a metro-area suburb sometimes amuses Bill Tschida. To many people, the term “suburb” conjures up images of housing developments, strip malls and convenience stores as far as the eye can see. “When I look out the window of my office,” Tschida said, “I see a bean field.” His office is at Farmington High School, where he’s been an assistant principal in charge of athletics and activities for a little more than one month. There are some houses near the high school, located a couple miles west of downtown Farmington, but otherwise it’s surrounded by farmland. Some of the rural roots remain, but there’s no mistaking where things are headed for the school district. More than 33,000 people live within the School District 192 boundaries, and more than 1,700 students in grades 9-12 attend Farmington High School. According to Minnesota State High School League figures, that makes FHS the 23rdlargest high school in the state. Tschida has taken charge of an athletics and activities program that’s making a transition. The school will join the South Suburban Conference in time for the 2014-15 school year. The Missota Conference, Farmington’s current league, is disbanding after the current school year, with its members fanning out to join other conferences. Shakopee and Farmington, the two largest schools in the Missota, are going to the South Suburban to replace Bloomington Kennedy and Bloomington Jefferson, which are leaving for the new Metro West Conference. It’s Tschida’s job to continue steering the transition to Farmington’s new, all-suburban-school league. The process started under his predecessor, Jon Summer, who took an assistant principal’s position at Chaska High School over the summer. “I’ll be at Missota and South Suburban Conference meetings all year,” Tschida said. “I just attended my second South Suburban ADs meeting (last week). I’m getting an idea of how the conference will function. The biggest thing is learning how our programs match up with the rest of the South Suburban schools.” The fit is almost never perfect, but in Farming- Email Mike Shaughnessy at ton’s case it’s close.

MEMORIAL, from 1A

In addition to excelling at chess, finishing in the top 10 nationally in 2008 for girls under 16, Anarae was a Metcalf assistant coach for five years and coached at elementary schools in District 191, Ribnick said. She also tutored some of his math students. “When it comes to life, Anarae was a person who just got it,” he said. “I call her an old soul, and she saw the big picture of life.” She endeavored to “make the world better, one person at a time,” said Ribnick, adding that Anarae made him “a better teacher, a better coach and a better person.” “And for that evildoer? You’ve lost,” he said, an edge in his voice. “You see, her heart is too big to be checkmated.” Metcalf social studies teacher Sharon Shelerud recalled having Anarae in her challenging Advanced Placement human geography course. The student first doubted her abilities, asked questions, finally mastered the material but

continued to ask questions in class even after she’d nailed it, Shelerud said. “She said, ‘Mrs. Shelerud, I’m doing it for the kids who don’t want to look dumb but need to ask,’ ” the teacher said. “Although teachers aren’t supposed to have favorites, we do,” Shelerud said. “I can still tell you exactly where Anarae sat in my classroom. I can still see her face as it went from confusion to understanding. And I can still remember specific conversations we had. Anarae will always be one of my favorite students.” Burnsville High School English teacher Gloria Webber, who taught Anarae’s senior writing course, said she was “a student who was truly searching for her own inner power.” “I don’t know how religious Anarae was, but I got the impression she was very spiritual,” Webber said. “Religion was the theme that she wove through all her papers in the class. Anarae saw the world as flawed, but she also saw its beauty and its power, and by God, she was going to make it a better place.” U of M sociology professor Penny Edgell said Anarae was a “memorable presence” even in classes of up to 200 students. “She was always pre-

pared, and she always made interesting comments in class, and she kept her habit of asking questions that she knew needed to be asked but others might be too shy to ask,” Edgell said. “And she told me that when she came to my office hours.” Over the past year Anarae was a peer tutor for more than 80 students, primarily in math, sociology and psychology, according to Lynell Williams, director of the SMART Learning Commons at the university’s Twin Cities campus. “And their comments consistently referenced the fact that she challenged them to think deeply about the material and equipped them with skills rather than simply handing them answers,” Williams said. At a recognition event for tutors last spring, Williams invited them to take home food left over at the end of the night. “Anarae approached me and asked if she and I could instead take some to distribute to the homeless on the streets of the downtown area,” Williams recalled. “I’ve been training and feeding tutors for 16 years, and this is the only time I’ve ever had such a request.”

Jordan Dennis Grant, 18, and Gabriel Donald Ryan, 18, both of Farmington, were charged with felony burglary two weeks ago after breaking into a home in mid-September and stole jewelry. They were acquaintances to the family. If you see someone looking through windows or checking car doors, call 911, Lindquist said. “You’re best off not confronting anybody, but be a good witness,”

Lindquist said. “Focus on the details. Get a good description and a direction of travel.” The National Crime Prevention Council provides several tips on securing homes as October marks National Crime Prevention Month including: lock all doors, windows and garage doors; install motion sensor lights to the exterior and home security system; maintain landscaping; get to know your neighbors; and establish

an emergency plan. According to recent FBI data, burglaries take place approximately every 15 seconds — 74.5 percent of which occur on residential property and 59.7 percent of which involve forced entry. The average dollar value of property taken during burglaries was $2,230.

she trusted too deeply. An Oct. 6 Star Tribune story details Nelson’s long criminal history, in which he was charged with or convicted of at least seven violent crimes, including first-degree aggravated robbery at gunpoint. He spent fewer than four of the last 14 years outside of jail or prison and was released on $25,000 bail Sept. 19 after being charged in June with firstdegree burglary, the newspaper reported. “We’re guilty for not standing up and saying, ‘Wait a minute, this is all bull----,’ ” said Anarae’s father, Monty, of Burnsville. “No bail for these people” who threaten lives at gunpoint in exchange for money. “That’s one thing we can work on — no bail.” Family members and friends disapproved of Anarae’s relationship with Nelson but have said she wanted to help him straighten out his life. She had arranged to meet him Sept. 21 to retrieve $5,000 she had loaned him while they were dating, media reports have said. “Anarae was bright. She understood a wide range of people and relationships, and had traveled quite extensively for someone of her age,” said Tyson Schunk, 10 years her senior and one of her two older brothers. “On

top of all of this, she had a caring, extensive support network. One would think that her defenses would be razor-sharp. “So what message hadn’t she internalized that was more powerful than her values, her selfdefense and her support network? Anarae was selfconscious and insecure, but I don’t think that was at the heart of what led to her vulnerability. I truly think Anarae, wholeheartedly, yet naively, believed in the good of every human soul, and that we are all created equal. That is a profoundly dangerous idea.” Sociopaths and psychopaths “have different brain chemistry and are not to be trusted,” Tyson said. Adults, he warned, should temper messages of acceptance and tolerance they impart to children by also imparting strong self-defense messages. And Nina’s Grill should be closed, he declared to robust audience applause. Tyson said he’s spoken to “dozens” of neighbors of the northeast Burnsville bar near Highway 13 and Cliff Road and heard “endless complaints” about violence, drugs and prostitution. “I will be leaving for my home in Oklahoma today after the ceremony,” Tyson said, adding that his

sister, a minor, shouldn’t have been allowed in the bar. “And I want Nina’s to be closed by the time I get back to celebrate Anarae’s 21st birthday at the end of this month.”

He was a relative of the victim. He was also charged for a December 2012 burglary in Lakeville. His total charges carry a maximum penalty of 30 years and/or $60,000.

Anthony Lee Nelson, aka Shavelle Oscar Chavez-Nelson, 31, charged with shooting Jobi to death, is a suspect in Anarae’s murder. Nelson’s current girlfriend, Ashley Marie Conrade, 24, told police she and Anarae were with Nelson at the bar and drove with him back to Conrade’s Rosemount townhouse after the shooting. It was Anarae’s trusting nature — an extension of the University of Minnesota sociology student’s faith in humanity — that family and friends say led to her involvement with Nelson, whom she dated for several months last year before breaking it off around Thanksgiving. “Anarae, this is just not the way things were supposed to play out,” said Brian Ribnick, coach of the powerhouse Metcalf Junior High chess team, which Anarae captained in 2008, her freshman year. “It should be the other way around. I had hoped you’d be speaking some day at my memorial. I just don’t know how things got so messed up.” Bottomless tributes to the 2011 Burnsville High School graduate and graduation class speaker mixed with flashes of anger from her grieving father and steely words from a brother who said

Ninaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grill in Burnsville, where the slain Anarae Schunk was seen with her ex-boyfriend the night he allegedly murdered a man in the parking lot, is a nuisance and should be closed, her brother Tyson insists. Tyson drew robust applause from a crowd of about 1,000 when he called for the closing during Anaraeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public memorial Oct. 6 in Burnsville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have personally spoken to dozens of neighbors and heard endless complaints about the violence, drugs and prostitution that is trafficked in and out of that establishment every day,â&#x20AC;? said Tyson, of Tulsa, Okla., whose parents still live in northeast Burnsville, the part of town where Ninaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is located. Police Chief Eric Gieseke acknowledged there have been complaints about the bar and said his department is working to alleviate them. Ninaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grill owner Nina Sorkin, when told of Tyson Schunkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statement, called it â&#x20AC;&#x153;insulting.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upset. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get me wrong,â&#x20AC;? said Sorkin, who opened the business at 2510 Horizon Drive 12 years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But he better watch his mouth, what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s saying.â&#x20AC;?

DCTC, from 1A which owns the former city hall building at 14200 Cedar Ave., on a lease agreement for 2014. Bilden said St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was subleasing its space from DCTC. She said the university would be open to working with other partners, saying some have indicated interest. Bilden said DCTC officials kept the university informed as it went through its decision-making process.

Students irked Current students who would have their classes moved to Rosemount say the location would prevent them from attending because it is too far from their residences and is not located on a bus route. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The majority of students chose the campus because it is near our home, work, is located near major highways, and is on major bus lines,â&#x20AC;? their petition posted at change.org said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We chose to attend a small satellite campus because we like knowing our fellow students, the location, and the personal service that we each have discovered is lacking at DCTCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main campus and other colleges we checked before coming here.â&#x20AC;? Kathryn Lusack, of Burnsville, said she wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to take the business management courses she needs in order to complete her individualized study degree because they are held too late in the day for her to reliably reach her sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Savage child care by its mandatory pick-up time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That will cause a hardship for me,â&#x20AC;? she said.

was 23-year-old Palagor Obang Jobi of Savage. Authorities say she left the bar with Nelson and his current girlfriend, Ashley Marie Conrade, and they drove to her Rosemount townhome. Schunkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family reported her missing Sept. 23. Nelson is charged with second-degree murder in Jobiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death. Conrade is charged with aiding an offender for allegedly har-

said they feel misled by the college since they say they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t transfer the technical collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s credits to another school. She said she feels students should have been informed of the decision at the beginning of the school year, so they could have moved to a different school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the first-time students who came here because of bus availability, if they had known there was a possibility it would close or could close they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have come here,â&#x20AC;? Lusack said. Lusack says she needs 14 more credits or five more courses to complete her degree, which she started working toward three years ago. She said some of the students â&#x20AC;&#x153;got windâ&#x20AC;? of the DCTC decision before it was formally announced to students in a Sept. 22 email. The semester started Aug. 26. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As students, alumni, or friends/family of DCTC students, we are offended that college administration failed to actively engage us in any discussions regarding potential campus closure before decisions were made,â&#x20AC;? the petition letter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An effort to try to shut down this campus mid-year is unconscionable.â&#x20AC;? The newspaper was unable to connect with Tim Wynes, interim DCTC president and president of Inver Hills, before this edition went to press. He told the Star Tribune that the move was made because the Rosemount site has unused space where the classes will be moved along with the faculty who teach those courses. He said the decision affects about 150 students,

boring Nelson. Schunkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homicide is the first to occur in Rosemount since 2010, police said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are committed to doing everything we can to bring to justice the person responsible for this horrific crime,â&#x20AC;? Werner said. The Hennepin County medical examiner identified the body as Schunkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on Oct. 1. Though related to the

according to the Star Tribune story, and that the college will work with students to finish their degrees and address transportation issues. A bus line that goes to DCTC has been something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been talked about for years. He told the Star Tribune that students will benefit from the move by integrating them into the overall population of the college. This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only costcutting measure Dakota County Technical College has had to make in recent years. Since 2011, the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget has been trimmed by 32 percent from $52.19 million to $35.07 million projected in the fiscal year 2014 budget released in June 2013, according to Minnesota State Colleges and Universities documents. Most of those reductions have been made in operating costs not related to personnel as officials have attempted to maintain instructional staff. Full-year equivalent student units at the college dropped from 2,549 in 2011 to 2,475 in 2012. FYEs are expected to be 2,500 for the 2013-14 school year.

St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bilden said St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s serves approximately 400 students in Apple Valley. That number has grown since the Partners site was opened 10 years ago, according to Bilden. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been a growth area for us,â&#x20AC;? Bilden said. The university offers about 30 courses each semester with summer months having a slight increase since many of the courses are for graduate work for secondary educa-

alleged Burnsville murder, the Schunk case involves a â&#x20AC;&#x153;separate and independent investigation,â&#x20AC;? the news release said. Agencies assisting in the Rosemount investigation are the Dakota County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office, the Burnsville Police Department and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; John Gessner

Thisweekend Family artifact launched Civil War book project ‘Augustus Temme in the Civil War’ author talk Oct. 15 in Rosemount erences to Temme were few – Shover found only one reference to him in her research – she pieced together the various accounts she found of his infantry units to create a picture of what life would have been like for a Civil War soldier. “My goal was to tell what he might have seen and experienced, to try to explain what the average Civil War soldier experienced,” she said. “Augustus Temme in the Civil War” isn’t available for purchase. Shover self-published 25 copies of the book in 2011, with the intent of donating copies to libraries and research institutions. She’s now begun work on her second book project, tentatively titled “Ichabod Borror’s Diary.” For that project, she’s annotating the diary of her husband’s great-grandfather, a gold miner in Montana. The Oct. 15 Robert Trail Library event is free to attend; the library is at 14395 S. Robert Trail in Rosemount.

by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A single scrap of paper, passed down from generation to generation, served as the jumpingoff point for Rosemount resident Charlotte Shover’s research for her book “Augustus Temme in the Civil War.” That piece of paper – written by Shover’s great-grandfather Temme – is simply a list of all the battles he took part in as a volunteer infantryman. There were a lot of them – Gettysburg, Fredericksburg, the Second Battle of Bull Run, among others – but Temme walked away from the war unscathed. Shover can tell you why. “He wasn’t on the front lines that much – that’s how he lived,” said Shover. “He was just a peon. He enlisted as a 22-yearold guy – at one point he was promoted to corporal, then he got demoted. Later in the war he served as a clerk at Headquarters for the Army.” Shover will be discussing her book and the research that went into it at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct.

Mystery writing workshop in Apple Valley Calling all would-be Conan Doyles: The Apple Valley Barnes & Noble is hosting a mystery writing workshop this month featuring Minnesota authors Marilyn Jax and Craig MacIntosh. The free event from 1-4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 26, will cover the basic elements of mystery fiction – setting, plot, clues, suspense, tension – and is geared to writers of all experience levels. Jax, a Minnetonka resident, brings a background in fraud investigation to the mystery writing craft. Earlier this year, her book “Sapphire Trails,” the third installment of the mystery series featuring private investigators Claire

Caswell and Gaston “Guy” Lombard, won the mystery category of the USA Best Book Awards and was named a finalist in the Midwest Book Awards. MacIntosh, of Rosemount, made his fiction debut in 2009 with “The Fortunate Orphans,” which was followed in 2012 by “The Last Lightning.” Both novels use incidents from World War II as their starting points. No registration is required for the Barnes & Noble event. More about the featured authors is on the web at w w w. m a r i ly n j a x . c o m and www.thefortunateorphans.com. —Andrew Miller
