Schunk loved chess, helping others SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
On Monday, Anarae Schunk’s friend and former chess coach agonized over the slightest hope that the missing 20-year-old Burnsville Anarae w o m a n , Schunk whom police feared had been murdered, might be found alive. “This is just a very nightmarish period for the chess program and for Burnsville and for her family and for myself,” said Brian Ribnick, chess coach at Metcalf Junior High, where Schunk was the most accomplished female player in school history. “It just goes on and on.” Some finality came Tuesday, when Rosemount police announced that a body found Monday had been identified by the Hennepin County medical examiner as Schunk’s.

Healthy students make the grade District promoting a healthier atmosphere in recent years by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
From day one, being healthy is a key factor for thriving as a human being. In the past five years, the Farmington School District’s Wellness Committee and Farmington Chartwells Dining Services have made strides toward creating a more healthy atmosphere in the schools. “The goal is not to be distracted by unhealthy things,” Wellness Committee co-chair and district human resources specialist Michelle Iung said. “If you have a healthy diet and a good amount of physical activity, you do better academically.” As a member of the Wellness Committee, which has met once a month for the past six years, Iung has seen several improvements. “We’re not the cupcake and soda police,” she said. “We’re lining up guidelines and we’re continue providing healthy options for students and staff.” This week, using funds from a

school project in which eighthgrade family and consumer science students will make and serve food that will be added to the cafeteria menu. “We want kids to be promoting those school lunches,” committee co-chair and nurse coordinator Gail Setterstrom said. “We want them to know you can have a healthy school lunch and it will taste great.” It’s another step in an evolving menu. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has made several changes to food service regulations in schools, but Farmington has managed to stay one step ahead. In the past five years the biggest changes have been portion size, beverage options and an increase in fruits and vegetables. Last year students saw perhaps the most change when they were required to select a fruit. “It was hard for the high school students,” Farmington director of dining service Peggy Anderberg said. “The little kids just do See HEALTHY, 8A
Mrs. Dakota County chasing dreams, raising ‘Hope’ Farmington’s Meridee Bushard platform focuses on for rare genetic disease by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
If Mrs. Dakota County Meridee Bushard, of Farmington, wins the Mrs. Minnesota International pageant March 8, 2014, in St. Cloud she’ll be happy, but her motivation for participating goes beyond a tiara. During the competition’s interview portion, she hopes to share her feeling about a cause that’s close to her heart. Her platform is to increase awareness and help find a cure mucopolysaccharidosis or lysosomal disease. Bushard knows several people who are affected by the rare genetic metabolic disorder that results in the body lacking certain enzymes to break down molecules. Her youngest daughter
Hope, who is almost 4, is a carrier of the disease. There are 10 variations that take on many appearances in children and young adults. Hope has Sanfillipo syndrome Type D. “She has a enlarged pineal cyst in her brain, a chiari malformation to the base of her skull and a spine malformation,” Bushard said. She’s hoping to raise awareness and support of the National Mucopolysaccharidosis Society to help research treatment and discover cures. Stem cell treatment is one way to treat the disease. “I just happened to have had my daughter, Hope’s, umbilical cord blood (saved) just in case she or anyone in my family needed the stem cells,” Farmington’s Meridee Bushard was recently Bushard said. “What a coin- named Mrs. Dakota County and will compete for the title of Mrs. Minnesota InternaSee HOPE, 11A tional Pageant in 2014.

City wants Farmington homeowners to fix exteriors Property maintenance ordinance public hearing Oct. 8 by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
There will be a public hearing regarding a new ordinance designed to help make Farmington more aesthetically pleasing during the Farmington Planning Commission meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Farmington City Hall. The Planning Commission has been working on updating the property maintenance code for several months hoping to inspire homeowners to keep homes looking nice. The city isn’t going to go out and look for unkept houses. Reviews will be made on a complaint-basis. If 25 percent of painted areas, siding, stucco, brick or other wall covering is in disrepair, the homeowner will be notified to fix the
situation. “If they’re non-complainant after a certain amount of time, it would go through legal proceedings,� assistant city planner Tony Wippler said. “It would go through the court system.� Included in the ordinance is a requirement that all exterior building projects that require a building permit must be completed in six months. The city also established an appeal process. “They can appeal the decision to the building official if they don’t like the outcome,� Wippler said. “Then it goes to planning and zoning, either me or Lee (Smick, Farmington city planner). Then to the board of adjustment, which is the Planning Commission.� The ordinance is similar to others in the south metro. Although the commission was comfortable with using 20-33 percent as a measuring stick, other
neighboring communities used the 25 percent, and the city desired consistency. Council members were reluctant at first, but several community members came to the board and Planning Commission expressing a desire to update the city codes. “I’m sad that neighbors can’t be good neighbors,â€? Council Member Christy Jo Fogarty said at the Sept. 16 meeting. “I know there have been some homeowners especially in our downtown community, who have struggled with their neighbors not being good neighbors. ‌ I feel like it’s the city having to babysit people who should be taking care of their property and be proud of the things they own. I can’t be everyone’s mother, so we have to create ordinance. We have to protect residents who are taking care of their property.â€? The council and mayor supported the measure. “I look forward to put-
ting this in place,� Mayor Todd Larson said. The city has discussed updating the ordinance in recent years, but it never gained traction. “It’s a different council now,� Wippler said. “In the past it’s been in discussion, but an ordinance has never been drafted. This council is determined and it’s something they want to see. The reasons for not doing one is added staff time or not having enough staff, but we’re going to give it the college try.� Residents have been in the city’s ear recently looking for help in dealing with neighbors. “Frankly there’s a couple homes in town this is stemming from,� Wippler said. “They’ve been a work in progress for a couple years and the neighbors are less than satisfied with the progress.� Email Andy Rogers at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

According to the criminal complaint, a bank official confronted Bremner about discrepancies in her teller and vault entries and she admitted she stole the money. Her husband had recently lost his job and they were having financial problems, she said. The investigation revealed that within her daily entries, Bremner reported false entries allowing her through time to take from the bank while still reflecting that her teller drawer and vault reports remained in balance.

Ryan, 18, both of Farmington, were charged with felony burglary last week by the Dakota County Attorney’s Office. According to a criminal complaint, Ryan and Grant allegedly broke into a home on the 20000 block of Akin Road in Farmington sometime between Sept. 11-15 while the homeowners were away on vacation. The victim noticed jewelry and money missing from the bedroom, including a bracelet valued at more than $2,000, a gold ring, stainless steel rings and various coins. The victims reported that they suspected Ryan
and had previously been in the house. The victims found multiple items were sold to a Farmington jewelry store, which confirmed by photo that Grant had resold the items. According to the report, Grant admitted entering the victim’s home along with Ryan while they were under the influence of marijuana. When police spoke with Ryan, he eventually admitted that he had helped Grant enter the residence. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in jail and/or a $20,000 fine. —Andy Rogers

50 years of worship, growth, change Prince of Peace marks anniversary
by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Under the direction of Mike Elton, the first choir director at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, the choir will dust off a liturgical oldie but goodie on Sunday, Oct. 13. Voices will rise for “What a Friend We Have in Jesus,” the first anthem sung 50 years ago to the day at the church’s first service. The Founder’s Day Worship at 8:30 a.m. is one of three events the Burnsville church is holding this month to celebrate its 50th birthday. “I don’t know if re-enactment is the right word, but we’re essentially doing the same service we did 50 years ago,” said Elton, a charter member of Prince of Peace with his wife, Pat. “That’s where ‘What a Friend We Have in Jesus’ comes in. That’s the first song we did, our little choir. We maybe had a dozen people in the choir.” Prince of Peace is known by many in the community as the church that once held outdoor services at a drive-in theater and offered musically progressive worship services during the 1970s. Contemporary worship and outdoor summer services remain, but the church is also changing, according to the Rev. Jeff Marian, Prince of Peace’s fifth senior pastor. It’s still large compared with most Evangelical Lutheran Church in America congregations, but Marian said membership has dropped some, from 8,000 or 9,000 to 6,000 or 7,000. The surrounding community is more diverse, racially and economically, than it was during the church’s boom years. The congregation, Marian said, has wrestled with issues of gay clergy and gay marriage. The church has been successful because of its “willingness to try things in distinctly different ways to connect people,” Marian said. “We now need to repeat that process,” said Marian, who followed the Rev. Michael Foss as senior pastor in 2008. “We’re celebrating our 50th anniversary, but now is the time to repeat history.”

Opinion Light rail project deserves to go forward The Southwest Light Rail project, if built, will be the state’s most costly public works project ever. For around $1.4 billion, 15 miles of light rail track, tunnels, stations and bridges will be constructed across the southwest Twin Cities metropolitan area, from Minneapolis, through St. Louis Park, Hopkins and Minnetonka, ending in Eden Prairie. Countless meetings, hearings and planning sessions have been held throughout the region during the past year. A key decision on this piece of track, an extension of the Green Line, is now only weeks away. Decision makers and residents are at odds over a small piece of the route in St. Louis Park. A committee of local mayors and Metropolitan Council officials is expected to make a recommendation next week to Met Council Chair Susan Haigh. Once the route location is solidified, Haigh has the formidable task of convincing the state Legislature to fund 10 percent of the project — $140 million. Metro counties will need to approve 40 percent of the cost — about $560 million. The Obama Administration has promised federal funding to cover the other half, if local and state ducks are in a row. Construction could start in 2015. Commuters, shoppers, workers and tourists could be riding a completed
ECM Editorial Green Line by 2018, traveling from Eden Prairie, to downtown Minneapolis, to the University of Minnesota and onto downtown St. Paul. Is it worth it? We believe it is. But perhaps more importantly is recognizing that the Southwest Light Rail line is just one spoke in a master plan for transportation throughout the metropolitan center and Greater Minnesota. The Metropolitan Council, State Department of Transportation, counties and cities have been working together to plan for the future. Officials have been addressing infrastructure issues, bridge safety, highway maintenance, and this year added Metro Red Line bus rapid transit from Apple Valley to the Mall of America in planning toward the future. Transportation Commissioner Charles Zelle estimates it will cost $50 billion to maintain the state’s roads, bridges, airports and transit systems over the next 20 years. Current funding mechanisms will generate $18 billion. This does not include expansion of existing highways or building new highways. But it’s a critical and necessary investment to maintain the safe movement of
products and people throughout Minnesota. Manufacturers like Larson Boats in Little Falls depend on the state’s roadways to transport boats to numerous destinations. The same can be said of Flint Hills Resources in Rosemount, Northern Tool + Equipment in Burnsville, Uponor in Apple Valley and other businesses in Dakota County. State planners and demographers are also looking at the future, expecting another 900,000 people in the Twin Cities by 2040. Half of that anticipated housing growth in the metro will be senior citizen housing. Anyone who has ridden the subways in New York City or the Metro in Washington, D.C., understands how a light rail system can quickly move thousands of people through highly populated areas. A light rail system is expensive to build but will ease traffic on main thoroughfares in the cities and suburbs. Zelle called light rail a 100-year investment, which will also create new economic clusters of development along the route of the system. We believe the Southwest Light Rail line is a vital spoke in the metro area’s future transportation system and should move ahead. However, we also believe it is essential the state Legislature takes a deep
look into transportation funding for the entire state in the coming legislative session. Serious consideration needs to be given to gas tax increases and a metro area transit sales tax surcharge. All options need to be on the table for an indepth and bipartisan analysis of our transportation needs and funding the necessary maintenance for the next several decades. The challenge is huge: How can we properly fund our transportation system — and keep our roads and bridges safe for years to come? How can we be fair to Morrison County and to Houston County, while meeting the needs of a metropolitan area of 4 million people? A statewide conversation on transportation needs for all 87 counties must be high on the agenda for the 2014 legislative session. States with strong transportation systems will have a decided edge in the next half century, not just from an economic standpoint, but also as an aesthetic attraction. Minnesota must be a state that gets this right. And it all starts with a solid plan and proper funding. This is an opinion of the ECM Editorial Board.

Solutions, not brinkmanship will help us through difficult times by Mike Obermueller SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Last week, as I’ve done for several years, I volunteered to speak with the political science class at Eagan High School regarding what it’s like to run for elected office. As expected, I got thoughtful questions from bright, curious students. They wanted to know how much time I spent campaigning and what issues were important to me, but they also wanted to know why Congress spent so much time fighting about everything. It occurred to me that these students, mostly high school seniors, had never known a time when most members in Congress considered it their job to vigorously debate important issues, but then put aside partisanship to find reasonable solutions to the challenges we face. In his guest column last week, U.S. Rep. John Kline, R-Burnsville, admitted
Guest Columnist
Mike Obermueller that “far too often, partisan bickering and petty politics dominate the headlines from Washington.” What Kline failed to acknowledge, however, is that “partisanship” and “pettiness” dominate the headlines because they dominate the political discourse in Washington. This shutdown is a prime example of how hyper-partisanship leads to irresponsible decisions. Everyone knows we need to focus on growing and stabilizing our economy. The government shutdown is completely at odds with this goal. While members of
Congress will survive the shutdown without missing a paycheck, not everyone will be so lucky. An estimated 800,000 workers are being sent home. Millions of Americans – from children to disabled veterans – could see some of the services they rely on suspended or delayed. The national economy stands to lose billions of dollars per week. All this, while we still have 11 million unemployed Americans and even more who are underemployed. I’m sure cable news will spend plenty of time discussing and debating who’s to blame for the federal government shutdown, but in the end, it comes down to representatives who chose partisanship over everything else. We can’t run a government if the focus is on political games and on which party wins and which party loses. We need to be talking about how we go forward instead. The House should pass a resolution that puts the federal government back to
work. That’s it. No poison pills. No political statements. No grandstanding on the idea of defunding the Affordable Care Act. Then, Congress should get to work putting together appropriation bills that reflect our shared priorities, rather than looking for the next place to engage in political brinkmanship. Next year, when those high school students are old enough to vote, I hope they vote for someone who is willing to meet the challenge of doing the right thing for the middle class and our economy – even when it means standing up to his own party leadership. Then they won’t have representatives putting the livelihood of millions of Americans at risk, just so they can win a political fight. Mike Obermueller, a former DFL state representative from Eagan, is a candidate for Congress in Minnesota’s 2nd District. Columns reflect the opinion of the author.
Letters Kline opposes reclassification of home health workers To the editor: People are criticizing U.S. Rep. John Kline, RBurnsville, because he opposes the reclassification of home health workers so they can receive a minimum wage and possible overtime pay. Kline thinks that raising the wage rate of such workers, the ones who care for our elderly and ill, will cause some people to have to go to institutions and then not receive home care. Be fair. Kline does support a minimum wage. Unfortunately, his minimum is a lot lower, like 50 cents or a dollar an hour. He believes anyone who works at such a simple task of taking care of old or sick people should only receive a simple wage, like that of a 10-year-old babysitter. This is care of our parents and grandparents we’re talking about. These workers don’t deserve a reasonable wage, or anything close to something people can live on? Why would he take such a stand?

The Senate Democrats said no and sent the bill back to the House. No negotiation. The Republicans sent another bill that would delay the individual mandate for a year, remove the Obamacare exemption that the president granted to Congress and their staff and remove the tax on medical devices. The Democrat Senate leader stated the Republican compromise bill was “dead on arrival.” The president stated that he “will not negotiate.” And yet there are those who blame the Republicans for the government shutdown because Republicans refuse to negotiate? The bias is breathtaking. DIANA V. BRATLIE Lakeville
To the editor: It was with great interest that I read U.S. Rep. John Kline’s guest column last week. For several years, now, I have phoned and emailed the congressman’s Burnsville office to express identical feelings. Education policies do belong at the state and local levels. Kline should not be the chairperson for the House Education Committee because there should be no such committee. Anyone who has studied the U.S. Constitution even slightly, knows that Article I Section 8 spells out what Congress is charged with doing and education is not listed. Also, the 10th Amendment states “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” Why do we send tax money to Washington, D.C., just to have some of it returned to education in Minnesota? It seems like the fewer middlemen that are involved, the less expensive things are. Right? Also, just for a change, can we try following the U.S. Constitution? LESLIE HENSCHEL Apple Valley

Haunted Woods Trail returns to Central Park by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Treat or treating these days is hard work. Walking through neighborhoods for blocks and blocks may yield a pretty good sized bounty of treats, but the Haunted Woods Trail on Saturday, Oct. 26, in Rosemount’s Central Park can yield that haul in one swoop. The 31st annual event, which has taken on different variations and locations, has settled into its basic format of encouraging community groups and businesses to donate their time and candy to put smiles on the faces of countless costumed children. “All of the favorites are back again for this annual event,� said Rosemount resident Mike Bouchard, co-chair of the event. “It really doesn’t change that much from year to year, things just get moved around a bit to keep it fresh.� For those who haven’t experienced this familyfriendly event, the Haunted Woods Trail will start at 6 p.m. when scores of children and their families are expected to be lined up already at the west entrance to Central Park near the park-and-ride lot across the street from the Steeple Center. Past estimates have put the attendance total around 3,000. Central Park will be decked out with all manner of Halloween-related decorations, including inflatable ghosts, pumpkins and a Dracula-dressed Homer Simpson along with a part-spooky, partgoofy cemetery and much more. Children and their families stroll along the trail to be met at candy stations staffed by volunteers from local community groups or businesses. Bouchard said the best

New Parkview principal calls District 196 home by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
For Parkview’s new principal, District 196 has always been more than an employer — it’s been home. Nicole Frovik grew up in the district, and her father, Mike Egstad, was a social studies teacher at Rosemount and Apple Valley high schools. “I had great teachers growing up who helped me become who I am today, and I still strongly believe in this district,� said Frovik, whose three children attend District 196 schools. Frovik replaces Pam Haldeman who retired from Parkview — which is located in Lakeville — last school year. The 39-year-old Apple Valley resident said she knew from a young age she would follow in her father’s footsteps. “I always loved learn-
Nicole Frovik ing and connecting with people,� she said. Frovik wasn’t the only one to inherit her father’s passion for teaching. Her brother, Chad Clendening, is a physical education teacher at Apple Valley High School and his wife is a teacher at Highland Elementary. Frovik’s husband is a teacher in Shakopee. Shortly after earning a bachelor’s degree in el-
ementary education from Augsburg College, Frovik began her career in 1996 as an intern at Valley Middle School in Apple Valley. A year later, she was hired as a teacher at Parkview. While there, she most enjoyed working with students and their families. Frovik was hired as media specialist after seven years. “I always loved reading and had a desire to affect the broader community,� Frovik said of her decision to leave the classroom. The new position enabled her to work with students from all elementary grade levels. Frovik said the work was very rewarding. In 2012, Frovik left Parkview to become the magnet coordinator and instruction assistant at Glacier Hills Elementary School of Arts and SciSee PRINCIPAL, 7A

Dakota County Lumber’s fall will be one of transition as the Farmington family-owned business builds a new addition and turns over leadership to the next generation. The business broke ground on its new 2,400-square-foot addition at the end of August. Walls were expected to be taking shape last week. Once it is finished, the current offices will move into the new space, with room for a conference room and break room. Then the older part will be remodeled into showroom space. Dakota County Lumber is currently owned and managed by Steve Finden, who started the business in December 1984 with a dream and seed money from an inheritance. He had moved away from his hometown of Farmington, working his way up through the lumberyard business until one day , he realized customers were looking to him for leadership. Then he decided the time was right to move back to Farmington and start his own business. “He worked his way up the ranks like a lot of guys in our business do,� said Sunny Bowman, Finden’s daughter. Finden knew he needed to add on to his lumberyard, but with the housing market in a slump the last few years, he put those plans on hold. Now as the economy turns around, it’s time. But as he considered the options, Finden was not sure where to go. Farmington zoning restrictions were making it hard to add on Dakota

The new addition will allow for more office and meeting space. The existing building will then be converted into a showroom area. (Photo by Jennifer Chick) County Lumber’s current location. Finden also was considering plans to sell the lumberyard and retire. Originally, Finden’s son and daughter were not interested in taking over the family business. But then Bowman, his daughter, started her own business in Charleston, S.C., as a professional organizer and found she loved running a business. She began rethinking her plans to return to the family business but didn’t know how to talk to her dad about it. Then her mom stepped in. “Mom put us in the car
together going up to the cabin and said we needed to talk,� Bowman said. A transition plan grew from there and now Finden plans to be out direct management of the business by January. Bowman has been working at Dakota County Lumber fulltime since last January and will become president of the company when Finden steps back. With a transition plan in place, talk of an addition or other solutions for more space became more frequent. Dakota County Lumber wanted to stay
in Farmington but didn’t know where to go. Then an economic development committee in Farmington talked to the lumberyard, asking what the business needed to stay in town. “We’re a hometown lumberyard,� Bowman said. “We cover the whole metro area, but we liked the idea of staying in Farmington.� Dakota County Lumber decided the best solution was an addition at its current location. Farmington approved a variance, and the lumberyard developed plans for an addition to the south and east of its current building. Bowman said she is enjoying learning all aspects of the company, and she is taking the reins of the new addition project. The new addition will double Dakota County Lumber’s office and showroom space. “Right now, our desks are on top of one another,� Bowman said. “We love the collaborative atmosphere because communication is really key in our business, but when everybody is here, it can get a little loud and be hard to work.� The new design should keep that collaborative atmosphere while also giving people space if they need it. Because Dakota County Lumber is all about improving on what it does best. “We are holding onto our old charm while adding some new ways of doing things,� Bowman said. “We want to bring out the customer experience we have always been known for.� More about the business is at www.dakotacountylumber.com.
After the city of Farmington approved a variance, Dakota County Lumber was able to begin work on a 2,400-square-foot addition south and east of its current location. Without the variance, the hometown, family-owned lumberyard had been looking to move out of Farmington, taking with it future employment opportunities as it looks to expand and grow its business.

7A Frovik expects to face growing numbers of allday kindergarten students next fall since the program will become free. District officials are considering busing some all-day kindergarten students to other district schools to accommodate growth. Many half-day kindergartners already attend Highland due to space. “We will work to ensure families are still connected to Parkview, though,� Frovik said. “When finding solutions to this issue, I think the district will look at the best interest of our kids.�

Frovik said the position gave her a new way to address inequity issues within the district — an issue she previously worked on as a member of several districtwide committees. Though she enjoyed her position at Glacier Hills, Frovik yearned to once again connect with families on a more intimate level. Becoming Parkview’s principal enables her to do just that, Frovik said.

About 10 years ago Eric left the corporate world to become Prince of Peace’s mission outreach director. And outreach, Marian insists, is Prince of Peace’s future. “In our history, in the beginning, worship was the front door,� he said. “That hasn’t been the case for quite some time. Now it’s, ‘How do I get my hands dirty changing the world?’ That is a pathway to spiritual growth, in our experience.� Prince of Peace’s Mission Outpost has probably the largest food shelf in Dakota County, Marian said. It provides clothing and furniture to the needy and hosts a Salvation Army location. The church will soon open a dental clinic, Marian said. “There is a huge need (for assistance ) in our community, and we’re honored and privileged to serve folks’ needs and build relationships and let people know they’re loved in the midst of hardship,�

and education administration, had considered becoming a principal for several years. Parkview has had a unique place in District 196 since it opened in 1971. The school is located in District 196 and has a Rosemount address but is located within Lakeville city limits. As principal, Frovik will face challenges brought on by the school’s continued growth. Enrollment at Parkview has grown rapidly from day one, and with 810 students in grades K-5, the school is near capacity. Parkview’s attendance area has one of the highest concentrations of preschool-aged children in the district. In addition to rapid growth, Marian said. He personally shoulders some of the responsibility for the falloff in church membership. “I think a part of it is I’ve tried to get some theological clarity around some issues, and some have not been happy about that — issues of human sexuality, how we handle Scripture, what the mission of the church is,� he said. “I’ve moved the cheese for some, and that’s a challenge for some people, but it has opened the doors for other people.� When the ELCA decided in 2009 to repeal its ban on non-celibate homosexual clergy, some parishioners left Prince of Peace because he didn’t take a stand against the denomination’s vote, Marian said. Now, with the legalization of gay marriage in Minnesota, the congregation is discussing whether to perform same-sex marriages. Marian is recommending to the church’s board of directors that it allow its three pastors (a fourth will be ordained in January) to perform the marriages if they choose. “It’s now in (the board’s) hands to make that decision,� Marian said. “They are being very prayerful and discerning

HEALTHY, from 1A what you tell them to do. They’re better this year. Now students are grabbing two apples; one now and one for later when they play sports. It’s a hard sell to tell a senior they have to have fruit instead of pop, but for the elementary kids, by the time they get to middle school and high school, it’s a no brainer.� Midway through last year, the USDA relaxed its restrictions on portions allowing students to take more food. “It gave us a little more wiggle room, which was nice� Anderberg said. “As long as they fit within the calorie count, we can give them more meat.� Next year all bread products will be whole grain. “It’s been a slow process, so we aren’t just bombarding the students every day with changes,� Anderberg said. There hasn’t been any boycotts or much complaining, according to Anderberg. Anderberg anticipates
the next change will be a reduction in sodium levels. They’ve already started to look at lower sodium options from vendors and use kosher salt, which has a lower sodium count. Cafeterias have salad bars and salads made to order. The menu includes fruit and vegetables and a certain amount of protein based on age group. “Our menu was been pretty healthy for a while,� Anderberg said. “Kids are getting used to it.� The cafeteria isn’t the only place where students can make healthy choices. It may not have been popular with students, but the Wellness Committee succeeded in removing soda and other sugary drinks and increased the number of healthier options in student vending machines. “You would think that there would be a push back, but we started about the beginning of last year,� Iung said. “They came to school and realized they didn’t have pop anymore. High school students are pretty creative so they’re
figuring out ways around it. We didn’t field any irate phone calls from parents or from students.� The vending machines feature nuts, dried fruit and baked chips instead of candy. They’ve also given heathy snack guidelines for in-class birthday and holiday celebration parties and other snack options. About half of the elementary schools feature to non-food celebrations. “They honor the students, not the food,� Iung said. “The focus is taken away from the food.� Principals govern such policies at each school with the Wellness Committee providing guidelines. “It’s a work in progress,� Iung said. “You can’t change everything in one day. Some buildings are no food. Other buildings give strong suggestions on what comes in, like they’ll have granola bars instead of cupcakes.� They’ve worked with concession stand operations during extra curricular and sporting events to

DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE October 3, 2013
The announcement capped an effort that included police searches and numerous search parties around Dakota County arranged by family and friends. Still, no one had been charged in Schunk’s death as of early Wednesday night, when this edition went to press. Still in custody is Schunk’s ex-boyfriend, alleged murderer Anthony Lee Nelson, with whom she was last seen on surveillance footage outside Nina’s Grill in Burnsville at closing time Sept. 22. Nelson, 31, of Rosemount, is accused of killing 23-year-old Palagor Obang Jobi of Savage with eight gunshots during an altercation outside the northeast Burnsville bar. Also still in custody is 24-year-old Ashley Marie Conrade, Nelson’s current girlfriend, accused of aiding an offender for allegedly harboring Nelson at her Rosemount townhouse after the murder. Nelson, an ex-convict with a Minnesota adult criminal record dating back to 2004, fled the scene in a car with the other two women, authorities said. On Saturday, Sept. 28, Burnsville police announced they’d uncovered evidence that Schunk, a third-year student at the University of Minnesota, may have been murdered. According to media reports, her brother Tyler said the evidence was his sister’s bloodied U of M-logoed jacket, full of puncture holes and found at the apartment of Nelson’s ex-wife in St. Paul. A knife connected with the case was reportedly found on the roof of the apartment building. Schunk, a 2011 Burnsville High School graduate who had lived with her parents until moving to Minneapolis in August, was described by her brother Owen as intelligent and an excellent student, but with a big heart that led her into the four- to six-month relationship with Nelson last year. Friends and family didn’t approve, Owen told the newspaper Sept. 24. “She cares about people. … She saw him as somebody that she could participate in
the growth and assistance of,” he said. Anarae was distraught after breaking off the relationship around Thanksgiving, he said. She had arranged to meet Nelson in Burnsville on Sept. 21 to recover something, whether money or personal keepsakes, he said. A fellow U of M student said Schunk stepped down from a group called Students for Education Reform last December because of “personal issues.” They likely were related to the relationship, said Kenneth Eban, who served on the group’s executive board with her. “She always contributed at meetings and contributed questions and concerns with us,” Eban said. “But definitely you could kind of tell that something wasn’t right as far as her situation because there would be times where she would snap off or disengage unexpectedly. I unfortunately never took the time to see what was bothering her in her personal life because as I said before, you’re wrapped up in your own thing and I just thought that that’s how Anarae is … I never really dove deep into the question of what might be bothering her.”
Chess whiz, mentor, loyal friend Schunk rose to the pinnacle of the Metcalf Junior High chess program, a traditional powerhouse in state and national competitions, in 2008, her freshman year. She became the team’s No. 1 board, a first for a Metcalf girl in the male-dominated activity. “As soon as her name was up on the ladder, I remember her taking a picture of that,” coach Ribnick said. The team voted her captain, a prestigious role at Metcalf, Ribnick said. “Right away, she said, ‘Well, Rib, can you handle a woman as captain of your team?’ ” he recalled. With her leadership and people skills, the honor was no surprise. “She believes so unfailingly in other people,” Ribnick said. “She believes in them and their potential. When she is your friend or you’re her
friend, it immediately goes way beyond friends. You’re her sister or her brother. And she has your back.” She was part of a trio of talented female players that year — so good that Ribnick entered Metcalf in the Girls Under 16 National Chess Championship for the first time ever or since. The girls took second in the competition in Dallas, and Schunk finished in the top 10 individually, said Ribnick, a Metcalf math teacher. “Most any (chess) club you go to in the country will be predominantly guys,” he said, which “didn’t bother or faze her one bit. She helped attract other young ladies to the game. She absolutely thrived under it.” Their relationship didn’t end after Schunk went on to Burnsville High School, where she captained the chess team, joined the math club, played saxophone and clarinet and was chosen a class speaker at graduation. Schunk returned to Metcalf as an assistant chess coach for five years running. This season would have been her sixth. Schunk also privately tutored several of Ribnick’s classroom students in math last year and this year. She has coached School District 191 elementary chess programs at Sioux Trail, Hidden Valley and Gideon Pond, Ribnick said. She remained an active competitor in the Minnesota State Chess Association, one of its top women players, Ribnick said. She also worked as a private chess tutor. From her days as a junior high player, Schunk impressed on the coach that he was in charge of a family, not just a team, Ribnick said. “That’s what she brought to my coaching,” he said. “She made me better and our team better. And that’s what we have been ever since.” John Gessner can be reached at (952) 846-2031 or email john.gessner@ecm-inc.com.

MURDER, from 1A
A waitress at Nina’s who knows Nelson as “Cali” gave police a similar description of events. She said Nelson called her on her cell phone at about 2:45 a.m. and “asked if everything was OK at Nina’s.” Both the cousin and the car owner identified Nelson as the shooter in a photo lineup. Police went looking for him Sept. 24 at Conrade’s residence in Rosemount. As officers set up a perimeter around the house, Nelson was seen driving a Ford Fusion out of the townhouse complex. When police attempted a traffic stop, Nelson fled on foot into a quarry, where he eventually surrendered. Nearby police found a handgun fitting the description of the gun Jobi’s cousin slapped away from him, the complaint said. Questioned by police, Conrade said she didn’t witness the shooting “but knew that Nelson had done it.” Conrade said she, Nelson and Schunk left Nina’s in her vehicle, which the complaint said is the Fusion and is registered to her. Nelson, who was driving, drove around the block and parked in a cul-de-sac where he could watch the bar’s parking lot. Upon seeing police arrive, he swore and pounded the steering wheel, Conrade told police. “Nelson then stated, ‘F--- it!’ and drove away from the area,” the complaint said, describing Conrade’s version of events. “The three went to Conrade’s home where Nelson stayed until his arrest.” Nelson has convictions in Minnesota dating back to 2004. He’s been convicted of theft, fifth-degree drug crimes, receiving stolen property, aggravated robbery, driving without a valid license and giving a police officer false information. He made his first court appearance Sept. 26 and was held on $2 million bail ($1.5 million with conditions). Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom said he’ll bring the case to a grand jury for consideration of additional charges. Conrade made her first court appearance Sept. 26 and was held on $250,000 bail ($150,000 with conditions). Burnsville police said Sept. 25 that a private citizen offered a $5,000 reward for information on Anarae Schunk’s whereabouts.
Schunk, the first woman told police. She said the three eventually returned to her home in Rosemount. Schunk, a 2011 Burnsville High School graduate and University of Minnesota student who had arranged to meet Nelson Sept. 21, was reported missing the following day. The first woman, 24-year-old Ashley Marie Conrade, is charged with aiding an offender for allegedly helping him avoid arrest. Jobi was at Nina’s with two cousins, one of whom gave police this account of the shooting: After leaving the bar at about 1:45 a.m., Jobi began talking to a woman later identified as Conrade. A man later identified as Nelson told him to stop talking to Conrade, whom he said was his girlfriend. The cousin defused the situation and Nelson walked about 20 feet away but continued to look back at Jobi and direct comments at him. Jobi eventually punched Nelson, and both men stumbled to the driver’s side of a parked vehicle. “It was quiet for a moment, and then (the cousin) heard gunshots,” the complaint said. He dropped to the ground on the passenger side of the same vehicle. The man then got up, ran around the vehicle, jumped on Nelson and put him in a chokehold. Nelson began to turn the black and grey handgun toward him, so he “slapped the gun away and another shot was fired.” Nelson than grabbed the gun and ran from the scene. The vehicle’s owner, a female bar patron, gave police this account: A man later identified as Nelson approached her table and made lewd comments to her. He was joined by a woman later identified as Schunk, and made lewd comments about her, too. As the woman was leaving the bar, she saw some men arguing and then saw Nelson pull out a gun. She got into her car and locked the door. Nelson, standing in front of the car on the driver’s side headlight, began shooting toward or over her car in the direction of the bar. Jobi ran around the car, which the woman said was rocking “as if the two men were physically fighting” over it. After ducking down John Gessner can be reached and then looking up to see whether at (952) 846-2031 or email the shooting was over, the woman john.gessner@ecm-inc.com. “saw four or five flashes of gunshots and saw the victim go down.”

Sipping soda pop all day can damage teeth The auto mechanic loved his Mountain Dew. While working on cars, the 25-year-old always had an open bottle at his side, said his dentist, Dr. Gary Hildebrandt. The young man would take a sip, put it down and go back to work. “He would do that all day long,” Hildebrandt said. “He would only go through two 20-ounce bottles a day, which wasn’t a lot, but we had to make him dentures. He totally destroyed his teeth.” Dentists like Hildebrandt are sounding the alarm about the damage done to teeth by sugary drinks. Much of the harm is caused by the habit of sipping soda pop all day, said Hildebrandt, director of the Division of Operative Dentistry at the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry. Sugar in soft drinks combines with bacteria in the mouth to create acid that attacks the teeth. Acid in pop also weakens tooth enamel. Besides tooth decay, sugar drinks have been linked to weight gain, obesity and diabetes. About 35 percent of U.S. adults are obese, while 17 per-
cent of children aged 2-19 are obese. Last year, Americans spent $71 billion on carbonated soft drinks and energy drinks, according to Beverage-Digest, an industry newsletter. Soft drinks are the biggest sellers, but energy drinks and bottled water are a growing segment of the market. Soda pop has become a staple of the American diet. About one– half of Americans drink sugar drinks every day, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. Young people are the biggest consumers. Seventy percent of boys aged 2-19 drink sugar drinks on any given day, compared to 60 percent of girls in that age group. Soda pop is so damaging because it’s easy to carry around and sip all day, Hildebrandt said. When people eat or drink at regularly spaced meals during the day, teeth are protected by the natural flow of saliva in the mouth, he said. Saliva contains calcium, which replenishes calcium in the teeth and repairs damage. “If you add to that many episodes of sweets during the
day, then the body can’t keep up and you slowly, gradually lose mineral from the tooth. Gradually a hole forms and that would be a cavity,” he said. Hildebrandt advises patients to switch to sugar-free pop. Carbonic acid in diet pop doesn’t cause cavities, although it can erode teeth, removing protective minerals from the tooth surface, he said. Carbonic acid provides the characteristic soda “fizz.” “We don’t see erosion as big a problem as cavities,” he said. “We make dentures because people get aggressive decay, not because they have erosion.” Erosion can make teeth sensitive. Tooth decay can occur in children as young as infants, said Dr. Kevan Cahow, dentist at Midwest Dental in Eagan. “At that young age, most damage comes from parents giving them sugar water to help them sleep or pacify them,” he said. Water is the safest beverage choice for children and adults, he said. Bottled water has become a popular choice, but it typically isn’t fluoridated. Fluoride is added to most city water sup-
plies to prevent tooth decay. Cahow isn’t concerned about lack of fluoridation because it has the biggest impact before age 8, when permanent tooth crowns are forming. “After age 8, the crowns have already formed and calcified, so internal intake of fluoride won’t have much effect,” he said. The basics of brushing and flossing are keys to good oral health, said Dr. Patricia Braga, dentist at Cahill Dental Cen-

and speech, Assael said. As an example, people who’ve lost their teeth and are fitted with dentures tend to eat fewer healthy, raw foods and eat more processed, fattier foods, which can lead to weight gain and obesity. Oral health exams can also detect problems in the rest of the body, he said. For example, bleeding gums can be a sign of scurvy or vitamin C deficiency, while white patches in the mouth are a symptom of HIV infection. “The mouth is a mirror for everything else that’s going on in the body, the same way ophthalmologists can detect so much systemic disease by looking at the eyes, dermatologists can by looking at the skin,” he said.

that people with diabetes are more susceptible to serious gum disease, which may affect bloodglucose control and contribute to the progression of diabetes, according to the American Diabetes Association. People with diabetes are more susceptible to bacterial infection, with decreased ability to fight bacteria that attack the gums. A British study published earlier this year in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease found bacteria associated with chronic gum disease in the brains of patients diagnosed with dementia.

High levels of mercury exposure are associated with adverse effects in the brain and kidneys, according to the FDA. The low exposure levels associated with amalgam fillings are well below levels associated with adverse health effects, the agency says.

Research links oral health with overall wellness Going to the dentist may not rank highly on your list of priorities. But you may want to rethink those priorities, based on recent research linking overall wellness with the health of teeth and gums. The connection is obvious to Dr. Leon Assael, dean of the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry. “There’s a tendency for people to not think that teeth are part of their body or an essential part of their body or that the whole masticatory apparatus is somehow less essential than an esophagus or stomach,” he said. A growing body of research shows a link between healthy teeth and gums and other diseases like heart disease, diabetes and dementia. Research shows
teeth when in fact we find, day after day in the clinic here, is that people leave a lot of bacteria behind,” she said. She recommends an electric toothbrush with a round head that oscillates, reaching under the gumline and between teeth. Instead of dental floss, she recommends a flossing tool with a long handle like a toothbrush and disposable flossing tip. If a cavity develops, Braga creates fillings from porcelain

Sports Irish start fast, don’t let up, take league lead Rosemount routs Eagan in homecoming game by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Some consider the true test of a football team to be how it reacts when it’s missing a few players. In Rosemount’s case, it came storming out the gate and buried Eagan 41-14 last Friday, a victory that left the Irish in first place in the South Suburban Conference after Lakeville North lost to Prior Lake. The Irish won its homecoming game without starting quarterback Jackson Erdmann, who suited up but did not play. One of their receivers, Jordan Herbranson, watched from the sideline with one arm in a sling. Starting cornerback Carter Yepsen came out early because of an injury. And Rosemount gave its most dangerous offensive player, running back Dimitri Williams, the rest of the night off after he rushed for 113 yards in the first quarter. Little dropoff was evident as Rosemount improved to 4-1 overall and 4-0 in the South Suburban Conference. The Irish are the only SSC team undefeated in league play. “We have some depth, so we don’t want to rely too much on any one player,” said defensive back Conner Yepsen (Carter’s twin brother), who intercepted two passes and returned one for a touchdown. “If a starter goes out, it’s somebody else’s turn.” Rosemount all but put the game out of reach in the first quarter, scoring three touchdowns in the first 10 minutes, 1 second. Backup quarterback Luke

Rosemount gained 341 on the ground, with four players running for 47 or more. Jackson had a 4-yard touchdown run in the second quarter, making it 28-0. Entzion found Andy Jubenville for a 32yard touchdown pass for Eagan’s first touchdown about two minutes before halftime. Early in the third quarter, Rosemount took possession at the Eagan 35-yard line following a 10-yard punt. Jackson ran for 27 yards on first down, and Lowell Green scored from 5 yards out a few plays later. Tyrek Cross had a 3-yard touchdown run on the first play of the fourth Rosemount running back Tyrek Cross tries to shake off Eagan tacklers in the Irish’s 41-14 victory last week.

Tigers fall out of first with a thud Chaska scores early, often in Missota runaway by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Farmington’s stay in first place in Missota Conference football – and probably its stay in the Class 6A top 10 – ended last Friday when the Tigers lost 56-7 at Chaska. It took the Hawks, who were ranked fifth in Class 5A last week, 1 minute, 6 seconds to score their first points. They led 14-0 after the first quarter, 35-0 at halftime and 56-0 after three. The victory left Chaska (5-0 overall, 4-0 Missota) in first place in the conference. Farmington (4-1, 3-1) is tied for second with Chanhassen and Shakopee. Chanhassen visits Farmington at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 4.
Chaska outgained Farmington 461-173. Five of the Hawks’ touchdowns came on plays of 36 yards or longer. Two Chaska running backs gained more than 100 yards. Farmington’s score came in the fourth quarter on a 4-yard pass from Tyler VanWinkle to Mac Bassett. Bassett had four receptions for 57 yards and Jordan DeCroock had five receptions for 40 yards. VanWinkle completed 16 of 27 passes for 133 yards. Eli Rockett led the Tigers’ defense with 7.5 tackles. The Tigers moved into the Associated Press Class 6A rankings for the first time last week. They were tied for ninth but were likely to drop out of the top 10 this week (state rankings were scheduled
to be released Thursday, after this edition went to press). Chanhassen, Farmington’s opponent this week, is 3-2 overall after beating New Prague 55-0 last week. The Storm lost its first two games before winning three in a row. It has shut out its last two opponents. The Tigers’ final two regular-season games are at Holy Angels (Oct. 11) and at home against Shakopee (Oct. 16). Farmington will play a first-round game in the Class 6A, Section 3 playoffs Oct. 25; whether that game is at home could depend on whether the Tigers win one or more of their remaining regular-season games.

Notebook: Former Burnsville hockey player has neck surgery by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Edina High School girls hockey coach and former Burnsville High School player Laura Slominski underwent surgery Tuesday afternoon at North Memorial Hospital after fracturing a vertebra in her neck during a women’s hockey game Sunday night. In an entry on her CaringBridge.org site, Slominski wrote that the operation involved replacing a damaged vertebra and fusing several other vertebrae. According to the site, she has feeling and movement in all her extremities. She was injured when she went into the boards back-first, the CaringBridge site said. Slominski has been a math teacher and girls hockey coach at Edina High since 2008. She led the Hornets to four consecutive state tournament appearances from 2009 through 2012. Edina was Class AA runner-up in 2010 and 2011. Before going to Edina, Slominski was head coach at Bloomington Kennedy High School and an assistant coach at St. Cloud State University and the University of Minnesota. She was the 1998 Ms. Hockey Award winner while a senior at Burnsville High. Slominski went on to play four years at the University of Minnesota and was the Gophers’ captain her senior year.

No. 6 Chanhassen finished second at the Victoria Lions meet, while No. 5 Eden Prairie placed fifth. Edina, No. 3 in the state rankings, finished ninth in Tuesday’s meet but did not run its top lineup after competing in a 5,000-meter race at the Roy Griak Invitational on Saturday. Runners from Lakeville North, Farmington, Burnsville and Eagan also ran in Tuesday’s meet at the Chaska Par 30 golf course. Lakeville South had 63 points, 38 fewer than Chanhassen. Chanhassen had the top two individual finishers, but its next runner came in 23rd. By then, five Cougars had finished their races.

Marshall might be anxious for a third match to settle their score this season. North swept two games from Marshall in a best-ofthree match at the Southwest Minnesota Challenge in Marshall in early September. Two weeks later, Marshall swept Lakeville

Director of Special Education Mary Kreger reported school nurses worked throughout the summer at Camp Propel, on back-toschool days, at immunization review and vision screenings. Special education staff members began the year serving 4,151 students from birth through age 21. Special Education continues to partner with the Teaching and Learning Department to ensure all students receive high-quality, research-based instruction. Compliance continues to be a focus to ensure all state and federal special education rules and regulations are being followed. The Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) issued its report in June and noted 65 citations. Kreger said the district has until May 1, 2014 to fix the citations and bring files into compliance. Special education teachers are participating in Reading Recovery training and Leveled Literacy Intervention (LLI). Kreger noted there are 49 teachers at 13 schools co-teaching with general education. Kreger said this year Dakota Ridge will host the educational services for a chemical dependency program the district is obligated to provide. Director of Elementary Education Julie Olson shared that elementary schools welcomed 11,812 students; up 172 students from a year ago. There are 1,784 kindergarten students with 46 Kindergarten Plus classes. She reported 60 percent of kindergartners now have a full-day experience. Olson said the three magnets schools are beginning their sixth year and that all the magnet schools have waitlists. She reported on the extensive professional development in literacy that continues to take place, the success of the first year of Camp Propel and the second year of August literacy assessment days. Director of Secondary Education Mark Parr provided a snapshot of the secondary schools. He reported high schools have been busy since mid-August and that sports practices were adjusted to early morning or evening due to the extreme heat. Parr attended most of the secondary school orientations and open houses. He said middle school enrollment was at 6,100 students; 200 students above projections. High school enrollment was at 8,300 students; 23 more than projected. Secondary schools are continuing with the development and refinement of the Common Formative Assessment process in collaboration with the Teaching and Learning Department and will continue to maximize the use of data analysis and instructional alignment days. Parr said work will also continue to further strengthen the secondary coaching model as it is a critical component in enabling teachers to have even more impact on higher student achievement. Counselors are underway with the development of a common six-year individual plan entitled “My Plan” to help students define a pathway for college and career readiness by graduation. Parr presented background information on the district’s past principals’ evaluation instruments and noted that during the 2011-12 school year the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) collaborated with state principals’ organizations and other state leaders, including School Board member Jackie Magnuson who co-chaired the committee, to craft a new model based on principal core competencies as well as School Principal Leadership Standards. The MDE then published a model evaluation tool. District administration met with the Principals Association of Rosemount (PAR) to develop an instrument that would suit district needs based on the MDE model. The model is both formative and summative, and consists of principals and their directors arriving at goals in the areas of instructional leadership and core competencies with student achievement the focal point. In 2011, the Legislature enacted laws that established principal and teacher accountability. Principal accountability requirements apply for this school year and teacher accountability requirements apply beginning in 2014-15. Woodland Elementary School Principal and PAR President Lisa Carlson reported on the legislation and its purpose, which is to enhance principals’ leadership skills, and support and improve teaching practices, school performance and student achievement. She reviewed the required components for the annual evaluation. Rosemount High School Assistant Principal and PAR’s former Past President Kim Budde described the model created for District 196 principals, which was based on research and best practices. The evaluation requires administrators to set two goals; one tied directly to the school’s site goal that measures student achievement. The second goal is a professional development goal that begins by using Kim Marshall’s principals’ evaluation rubric for reflection in six areas. Olson said that during the 2011 special session, legislators also approved statewide standards for teacher development and evaluation, and requirements. Under the new legislation all public schools are required to have a teacher development and evaluation plan that meets the statutory requirements by fall 2014. Olson noted the plan can be locally developed by the board and teachers, or it can be the state plan, or it can be a hybrid of the state plan with some locally determined elements. The plan must include a three-year professional review cycle with an individual growth and development plan; a peer review process and the opportunity to participate in a professional learning community. It must include supports and evaluations of all probationary teachers and be based on professional teaching standards. A core group of teachers and administrators attended state-sponsored meetings to clarify requirements of the legislation. A larger committee of teachers and administrators will work throughout this year to create the District 196 Teacher Development and Evaluation Plan. We currently have strong mentoring and support for new teachers, administrative observation and evaluation based on Charlotte Danielson’s Framework for Teaching (which was identified in the state plan as a positive model), peer review support through Q Comp; strong professional learning communities and professional development support. Magnuson commented on the state-level evaluation committees she participated on and the more than 95-page state plan. Director of Teaching and Learning Steve Troen said the purpose of the annual report is to inform district residents about student achievement and developments in curriculum and instructional practices from the previous year (Exhibit G). The annual report contains a variety of detailed information including: progress in updating and revising specific district curriculum areas; results on state and national norm-referenced tests, and responsibilities, activities and membership of the Curriculum and Instruction Advisory Council (CIAC). Troen highlighted four areas included in the report: curriculum development; the K-12 Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment Committee; educational equity, and district assessments. There is a curriculum review process for each content area which is revised on a rotating basis to keep curriculum current and has three phases: 1) program design; 2) implementation, and 3) monitor and adjust. There were a number of curriculum areas in the active stages of the cycle during 2012-13. In the design phase were language arts for grades prek-12, health for grades 6-12 and social studies for grades 6-8. In the implementation phase, support was provided for science in grades k-12 and English language arts for grades prek-12. The K-12 Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment Committee focused 2012-13 professional development efforts on formative assessment strategies, which included a comprehensive literacy assessment system at the elementary level and an emphasis on common formative assessments at the secondary level; a continued emphasis on essential learning in all content areas, and developing a systemic response when students experience difficulty. Educational equity is defined as raising the achievement for all students. Last year all schools once again incorporated racial equity achievement goals and equity program target goals into their site plans and closely monitored progress. Troen said District 196 administered a number of assessments and that results on the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment (MCA) indicate the distance by which District 196 students outperformed the state average has widened. Results of the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP), ACT and GRAD Test are also reported. The district average ACT score was 24. Troen announced the CIAC is scheduled to review the report at its September 16 meeting. Any revisions recommended by the CIAC will be presented at the next regular School Board meeting when the board is expected to take action on the report. Berenz noted that middle school test scores have improved. The change to the middle school model has students spending more time in the core subjects. Director of Human Resources Tom Pederstuen highlighted terms from the two-year collective bargaining agreement with Dakota County United Educators (DCUE), representing teachers and school nurses (Exhibit H). The agreement is effective July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2015 and terms include: • Increasing the salary schedules by 2 percent each year, with an additional .71 percent to the top step for the first year and .6 percent the second year; • Increasing the longevity schedules by $63 to $190 for the first year and $62 to $187 the second year, depending upon level; • Increasing contributions to health insurance by 2 percent the first year and 1 percent the second; • Increasing dental insurance contributions by 2 percent each year; • Increasing the 403(b) matching contribution by $100 per year at each level, and • Other minor language modifications. Pederstuen noted the total cost of the contract is within the parameters set by the School Board, recognized the diligence of the bargaining teams and asked the board to approve the agreement. Motion by Magnuson, seconded by Huusko and carried, with five members voting in favor and no member voting in opposition, to approve the agreement. Motion by Huusko, seconded by Roseen and carried, with five members voting in favor and no member voting in opposition, to adjourn the meeting at 7 p.m. Published in the Dakota County Tribune October 3, 2013 29911

There’s something mesmerizing about the “finger tapping” technique that helped put Twin Cities guitar virtuoso Billy McLaughlin in the top 10 of the Billboard music charts. These days, the fact he’s able to play guitar at all is something of a miracle. McLaughlin, who’s set to perform Oct. 12 in Lakeville, was diagnosed in 2001 with focal dystonia, a neuromuscular disease that rendered him incapable of playing his own music. Not long after the diagnosis, he founded the holiday music ensemble SimpleGifts as a way to continue playing professionally while his solo career dissipated. For SimpleGifts he developed a unique – and very rudimentary – twofinger playing style to complement the group’s vocals, piano and violin. As SimpleGifts gelled – the group has released four holiday-themed CDs – McLaughlin has worked to revive his solo career, and he released the album “Into the Light” in 2007. Astonishingly, for his solo work the right-handed McLaughlin taught himself to play guitar left-handed. That feat of wizardry is chronicled in the documentary film “Changing Keys,” which aired on PBS in 2010. His solo efforts continue this month with McLaughlin – a White Bear Lake resident and winner of multiple Minnesota Music Awards – set to take the stage of

Thisweekend 50 miles of fine art Scott County Art Crawl runs Oct. 5
Nature photography by Adam Jones has appeared in National Geographic Books, LIFE magazine and Sierra Club publications.
Expert advice on visual wonders ‘Explorers of Light’ presentation features nature photographer Adam Jones The featured speaker at the “Explorers of Light” photography workshop in Rosemount comes with a high-powered resumé. Adam Jones, who will be leading the Oct. 19 workshop at the city’s Steeple Center, specializes in nature and travel photography, with publication credits that include National Geographic, LIFE magazine and the Sierra Club. The Kentucky-based
photographer also has done advertising campaigns and other commercial work for companies you might not associate with nature photography – among them Miller Beer, Disney and Honda. In 2006, he was among 50 photographers selected for Canon’s “Explorers of Light” program, and in that capacity will be sharing his expertise at the Rosemount event, which is hosted by the
Rosemount Area Arts Council and the St. Paul Camera Club. The workshop runs from 7-9 p.m. at the Steeple Center, 14375 S. Robert Trail. Cost to attend is $5; admission is free for students. Pre-registration is required at www.rosemountarts.com and everyone who registers will be entered in a drawing for door prizes. —Andrew Miller
There’s art in store at every stop along the 50mile route of the Scott County Art Crawl this weekend. Founded in 2010 and hosted by the Savage Arts Council, the self-guided tour returns this year with 35 artists at 18 stops in the cities of Prior Lake, Savage and Shakopee. The idea behind the event, which runs 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 5, is to introduce art buyers to the work of local artists and to offer a window into the places where they make their art, according to organizers. “The Scott County Art Crawl is a fun-filled day with exploration and discovery of original high-quality artwork and emerging artists,” said Heather Mathews, a member of the Savage Arts Council Board. “This is a day that celebrates the fine art created right here in our own back yard.” Stops along the art crawl route will have paintings, sculpture, pottery, jewelry and more on offer, with prices ranging everywhere from $5 to $1,000. New to the event this year is an interactive theater experience with the River Valley Theater Company at Shakopee
Randy McWilliams, who makes bronze sculpture, jewelry and pottery at his home studio in Prior Lake, is one of 35 artists featured at the Scott County Art Crawl this weekend. (Photo submitted) West Junior High. Throughout the day guests can stop by the junior high school to watch a rehearsal for the theater group’s upcoming comedy “Blithe Spirit,” meet the director and set designers,
and take part in group improvisation activities. For a map of the art crawl route and a list of participating artists, visit w w w. s c o t t c o u n t ya r t crawl.org. —Andrew Miller
