Family and friends provide a sense of comfort and love. For 37 people across the state this year, that comfort turned to violence before ending in death. Twenty-four women, six men and seven friends or other family members have died this year as a result of domestic violence, according to the Minnesota Coalition for Battered Women. Eighteen domestic violence homicides occurred last year – all but four were women, according the coalition’s 2012 Femicide Report. Homicides in which the known or suspected perpetrator was a current or former intimate part-

Nearly 40 people across the state have lost their lives to domestic violence this year, more than double the number of similar incidents reported last year.

Police believe the University of Minnesota student and Burnsville High School graduate was killed in Rosemount, where she was last seen Sept. 22.

A recent study found the city of Farmington overall pays its employees within the market range and recommended adoption a new 11-step salary structure that could raise many salaries. St. Paul-based Fox Lawson and Associates was hired by Farmington to perform the classification and compensation study, which was presented to the City Council

last month at a work session. The study found that the city is competitive as overall its salaries. “Each position is different,” City Administrator Dave McKnight said. “Some are high, some low.

Lakeville veterinarian treats patients differently Cathy Lund blends East, West to help pets heal by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lakeville veterinarian Cathy Lund used to be suspicious when patients would show her a bag of herbs another practitioner prescribed for their pet. “I was worried it might harm patients,� Lund said. “Before I knew about these techniques, I assumed they were dangerous or didn’t work.� Now, she prescribes pet patients Chinese herbs herself, having quit her job on staff at Southfork Animal Hospital (although she still rents space there) to open her own practice that blends Eastern and Western medicine to treat pets. Her interest in Eastern medicine was spurred after witnessing dramatic improvements humans experienced after visiting a holistic doctor. She said Eastern techniques have been successful in treating behavioral problems, and many people with allergies have found relief in the plant-based remedies provided by holistic practitioners whose treatment differs greatly from Western medicine. Holistic practitioners operate from the basic premise that disease comes from imbalances and they strive to regain that balance, she said. Lund, 53, began taking homeopathy courses, which she

Dr. Cathy Lund listens to Tinsel’s heartbeat as the Havanese pup’s owner Sue Lundgren of Eagan looks on. (Photo by Laura Adelmann) said were extremely challenging and take decades to master, but found the use of Chinese herbs “made sense� to her and pursued that track. For the past seven years, her practice has expanded to blend both traditional and Chinese medicinal techniques. She primarily uses homeopathy (homotoxicology), nutri-

tion, glandulars and flower essences in addition to providing traditional veterinary services and medicines. “Our main goal is to try to get to the root of the problem and fix it,� Lund said. Techniques she may use include prescribing a fresh diet and using certain herbs to enhance the immune system.

She recently saw dramatic improvement in a pet suffering from allergies and chronic bowel issues. “That’s exciting and one reason I got into this type of medicine,� Lund said. “Sometimes we can do things that will balance out the body so well we can actually eliminate disease.� But if improvement still lacks with three to six months of treatment, she will refer patients to a traditional veterinarian. “At that point, I feel like I owe it to that pet to see another practitioner,� Lund said. While she has embraced Eastern techniques, many traditional practitioners still look at it with skepticism as she once did. Lund is certain that perception will change over time as pets improve and they go back to regular veterinarians and they see the changes. “It’s not like there isn’t a place for both,� she said. “There certainly is. With chronic illnesses, Western medicine doesn’t always have the answers for people, and some techniques from other countries may be helpful.� To make an appointment with Lund, call 952-892-7970.

She expects treatments to produce results within months, but sometimes her treatments for ailments like cancer “are just trying to buy more time than a dog would have with conventional treatment alone,� she said. Lund said her greatest joy Laura Adelmann is at laura. is when patients respond posi- adelmann@ecm-inc.com. tively to the treatments.

Minnesota’s report card mostly positive Scores show some narrowing of achievement gap by Howard Lestrud SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

National test results released Thursday, Nov. 7, revealed that Minnesota fourth-grade students recorded the best math scores in the country. These results were compiled by the National Assessment of Education Progress, otherwise known as The Nation’s Report Card. The report is the largest nationally representative continuing evaluation of the condition of education in the United States. It informs the public about what America’s students know and can do in various subject areas and compares achievement data among states and various student demographic groups. Gov. Mark Dayton and Minnesota Department of Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius said at a Capitol press conference there was progress in narrowing Minnesota’s achievement gap between white students and students of color. Dayton, in his first in public appearance since he had additional hip surgery two weeks ago, said Minnesota is making important progress in narrowing the achievement gap; “however, the need for continued improvement is clearly indicated.� Dayton said Minnesota African American fourth-graders scored fourth highest in the country in math. Minnesota was 22nd in 2011. In reading, Minnesota was 10th best in 2013, moving up from 22nd two years ago. The gaps in reading between white students and African American and Spanish

Gov. Mark Dayton made his first public appearance in two weeks on Thursday, Nov. 7, and took the opportunity to join Minnesota Department of Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius in reporting achievement gap data that shows Minnesota making significant progress in narrowing the achievement gap between white students and students of color. (Photo by Howard Lestrud) students were reduced by 10 test points, about a 25 percent improvement since 2009. Minnesota eighthgraders ranked fifth best in math and 11th best in reading, posting Minnesota’s best scores ever. “Those results tell me,� Dayton said, “that we have made some important progress; however, we still have much more work ahead of us.� Dayton said he believed that the new initiatives he proposed and the

Legislature approved will show even more positive results in the years ahead. He thanked Minnesotans who approved almost 90 percent of the school referendums last Tuesday, a record high number. “That money, I can assure you, will be wellspent,� Dayton said. Cassellius pointed to several initiatives that contributed to this success, including significant investments in early education, the new “Read

Well by Third Grade� law that includes a requirement for every district to create a literacy plan, Minnesota’s waiver from the federal No Child Left Behind law, and more rigorous reading and math standards. “We have always known we have great teachers,� Cassellius said. “Now we are building toolkits and taking the

steps we need to make sure that every Minnesota child has what it takes to be successful. “We have set real high standards the past 10 years, and each year it gets better and better.� Cassellius said Minnesota didn’t see as much progress at eighth grade. “We know we have had some difficult times the last 10 years, borrowing from schools, cutting programs and having higher class sizes but we have doubled down in our eighth-grade efforts, making sure kids can be better prepared,� Cassellius said. She emphasized those extra efforts, combined with leadership and great teaching, are the things that have made a great difference in showing progress. Cassellius said Minnesota saw its black-white gap cut in half where it used to be the seventh largest gap. Now, it’s the 13th largest gap. Cassellius said Minnesota still sees struggles with gaps in the eighth grade; “however, we know if we continue to work on our secondary program and to make sure we are teaching reading and making sure that all kids are reading well at third grade or earlier,

our eighth-graders will achieve.� The achievement gap between white and African American eighthgraders in reading is the seventh largest in the nation, while in math the gap between those students is fourth largest. “We are really encouraged by the data today,� Cassellius said. House Minority Leader Kurt Daudt, R-Crown, speaking to media later, said Republicans are committed to improving the education of Minnesota students, and “we want to make sure we put our students first.� Daudt pointed to policies enacted when Republicans ran the Legislature, such as focusing on thirdgraders reading at grade level. Daudt said Republican concerns are “by getting rid of the graduation standard tests and lowering accountability and lowering standards for Minnesota students, we aren’t going to continue seeing improvement in education.� More information on NAEP is at http://nces. ed.gov/nationsreportcard.

Opinion The gift of Armful of Love: the 360 Communities experience by Anika Rychner SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A woman recently interviewed to participate in 360 Communities Armful of Love, our holiday gift program that has been matching families in need with sponsors for over 40 years. With her 1-year-old baby at her side, she told us that her husband was a painter who found odd painting jobs to support the family, but with the cold weather and winter coming those jobs were becoming scarce. After completing the Armful of Love application, we explained that 360 Communities had many more programs that could help her family through difficult times. She was grateful to hear about the food shelf and we were quickly able to access enough diapers and wipes to get her through the rest of the week. When we gave them to her, the mother began to cry. She thanked us for the help and returned the next week for a 360 Communities assessment intake that connected her not only with food shelf services but with a wide variety of other programs and resources. This is just one example of how 360 Communities staff and volunteers engage

Guest Columnist

Anika Rychner families to surround them with resources. Whether an individual or a family first engages with 360 Communities through a school, a hospital, child care, one of our domestic violence shelters, one of our five food shelves, or through Armful of Love, we are able to connect with them on a deeper level, many times uncovering other needs. Then the work of ensuring safe and healthy homes, promoting school success for their children, and ultimately encouraging self-sufficiency begins. Sometimes self-sufficiency can happen quickly when an individual or a family simply needs food or emergency services to bridge them through a difficult shortterm period. In many cases, however, it takes more intensive support through multiple programs and resources to create a success story. This is where 360 Communities excels. By intervening early and of-

ten with families, we are able to make sure ensuing generations have a better chance at successful lives, free of food shelf dependency. According to Hunger Solutions, about 36 percent of Minnesota food shelf clients have at least one working adult in the home. For these folks, it’s not an unwillingness to work, it is low wages and reduced hours that make it difficult to achieve self-sufficiency. For others, there has been a job loss, a medical emergency, domestic violence, or a combination of barriers that place them in crisis. The reasons why people access food shelves are complex and varied, so it requires unique and innovative solutions to help them reach self-sustained success. With Armful of Love, 360 Communities makes it easy to access items like holiday gifts, clothing and food for families. By doing so, we invite a deeper conversation and build trust. Then we can provide far-reaching supports to help further stabilize any crisis and work with clients to achieve greater self-sufficiency. This year, Armful of Love staff and volunteers have already completed more than 1,100 interviews. Each one of these brief interviews for holiday gifts opens the

door to a meaningful conversation about barriers to success as well as an opportunity for a family to engage with 360 Communities. In one week alone, we had 22 Armful of Love families return for food and financial assistance intakes stemming from these interviews. The true gift of the Armful of Love program is the 360 Communities experience of support. When our partners in the community donate to a 360 Communities program, their donation dollars go much further to help a client because of the interconnectivity of our programs and resources. Eighty-two cents out of every dollar goes into direct service work. Our holistic approach ensures that every donation to our organization has far-reaching impacts designed to last for generations to come. Anika Rychner is director of self-sufficiency at 360 Communities, a Dakota County a nonprofit that engages communities to prevent violence, ensure school success and promote long-term self-sufficiency.

Workers must share in hometown business’s success by John Van Hecke SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

When customers come into Apple Valley’s Target store, they expect sparkling aisles, neat eating areas, and clean bathrooms. Enrique Barcenas is one of the folks who works to ensure this home state company looks its best when the doors open each morning. He is an overnight janitor for Prestige Cleaning, which Target hired to clean this store. It’s hard work, but important work for Enrique, who lives in Farmington and shares expenses with his nieces and nephews, trying to stretch his $8 an hour salary to the max. It’s not nearly enough to keep up with basic needs. In fact, wage stagnation is a serious problem not just for workers at the bottom-end of the wage scale but for the economy as a whole. The minimum wage, which sets the floor for salaries overall, is falling behind living standards fast. Had it kept pace with inflation from the late 1960s, the minimum wage would be well over $10. Enrique is organizing with retail janitors across the Twin Cities together with the Center of Workers United in Struggle (CTUL for its acronym in Spanish) to demand respect. After multiple phone calls, letters and delegations to their companies, workers have only been met with increasing reports of retaliation. Workers have been

Guest Columnist

John Van Hecke left with no choice but to bring this issue to public light through two recent strikes demanding the right to organize without fear of retaliation. Enrique, hundreds of retail janitors in the Twin Cities, and thousands of low-wage workers around the country are at the forefront of a movement for change. It is time for labor law to catch up with today’s economic reality and with the actions of lowwage workers both nationally and locally. Here in Minnesota, Enrique and CTUL are part of a coalition calling on Minnesota policymakers to come through with a $9.50 minimum wage, which is currently awaiting debate at the state Legislature. Enrique is one of more than 30,000 Minnesota Hispanics who would see a positive impact from a $9.50 an hour minimum wage. This increase would boost purchasing power by $43 million for the Hispanic community, according to findings from a recent JOBS NOW analysis. It would increase total purchasing power by nearly half-abillion dollars.

The extra money would help workers like Enrique pay for daily necessities at locally-owned stores like Target, and main street shops. JOBS NOW Cost of Living research shows that in a family of four with two full-time working parents and two children, each parent needs to earn at least $14 an hour to meet even basic needs. Raising the wage is also important for the state’s broader workforce because its economic rebound has been heavily fueled by low-wage service sector jobs. Forty-five percent of all Minnesota’s recent job openings are part-time, according to the Department of Employment and Economic Development’s latest jobs vacancy survey, up from pre-recession levels that ranged in the mid to high 30s. Since 2000, Minnesota’s median household income has declined roughly $5,000 in 2011 dollars, according to census figures. This is also a symptom of growing suburban poverty, fueled by not only lowwage workers moving to suburbs for lowercost housing, but by middle-class workers who’ve lost jobs and wealth. In the last decade, Minnesota’s suburbs have been hit particularly hard. From 1999 to 2012, the number of people in poverty grew by 130 percent in the suburbs (to 170,000), compared with growth rates of 39 percent in Minneapolis and 47 percent in St. Paul, according to Wilder Research’s analysis of American Community Survey Data.

The state as a whole must find a way to create more openings that require advanced training. According to the latest DEED job vacancy survey, only 42 percent of job openings require education or training beyond high school, down from 44 percent from four years ago. Openings requiring a four-year degree have dropped from 29 percent to 25 percent. The market has failed working Minnesotans like Enrique, by not setting wages to keep pace with basic living expenses. This is ironically happening at the same time Minnesota’s richest have bounced back from the Great Recession at an accelerated pace. On Black Friday, Enrique and many other retail janitors in the Twin Cities are planning a large action calling on contracted companies that clean Target and other stores to respect workers’ rights to organize (www.ctul. net). Enrique and thousands of other lowwage workers are stepping up to demand a change at their companies and nationwide. It’s time for policymakers to do their part by evening the playing field so that all Minnesotans prosper. A $9.50 minimum wage policy is one way of bringing fairness back to our economy. John Van Hecke is Minnesota 2020 executive director. Columns reflect the opinion of the author.

Letters Thankful to the community for supporting District 196 To the editor: Our children are the future and the education they receive is important in shaping their future. We are fortunate to live n School District 196, one of the state’s most desirable districts. We have some of the state’s best educators. Because of the levy referendum’s approval the district will be able to keep many fine teachers and continue to attract the best staff. Thanks to the voters, with pride, we can continue to say we are the best place to live and raise a family. The levy referendum passed due largely to the

dedicated efforts of Superintendent Jane Berenz and Jeff Solomon, district financial director. For close to four months, they were very busy meeting with residents, explaining the referendum and passing out materials. Berenz assisted UNITE 196, a group of more than 200 volunteers interested in continuing good education. The group was organized and led by Retno Saridewi, of Lakeville, and Charles McCready, of Apple Valley. A key member was Michael Groneberg, of Eagan. They organized the distribution of thousands of pages of literature and created UNITE196.org. Groneberg said our children need a world-class education to compete in the

global economy. A group of 50 Key Communicators promoted the district and distributed materials. They will continue as an advisory group. Apple Valley was ranked 17th as one of the nation’s Best Places to Live by Money Magazine. This was possible through the city and schools’ reputation. Mayor Mary Hamman-Roland and Chamber of Commerce President Ed Kearney were very active in promoting the levy referendum’s passage. Please thank our superintendent, the fine people who run the district, School Board members and teachers who are dedicated to serving us and our children. We are fortunate to enjoy the benefits of their service.

Immigrants valuable assets to the economy To the editor: Our immigration system is broken, and U.S. Rep. John Kline, R-Burnsville, bears responsibility for not fixing it. Contrary to Mr. Kline, even the Minnesota Chamber of

Commerce supports immigration reform, including a pathway to citizenship. The chamber recently released its report called the Economic Contributions of Immigrants in Minnesota. Their rationale, quoted from the report, is straightforward: • Immigrants are younger than native Minnesotans: They fill jobs vacated by retiring workers, and pay taxes that provide needed state and local revenues. • As consumers, immigrants in Minnesota have an estimated $659 billion in lifetime earnings and annual purchasing power of $5 billion. Immigration slows population decline in rural towns and struggling urban neighborhoods, and contributes to the growth of housing values. • Immigrants comprise 7 percent of the state’s population but 9 percent of the workforce. In six

industry sectors and 17 occupations, both higher- and lower-skilled, immigrants comprise more than one quarter of the workforce. • Immigrants pay an estimated $793 million in state and local taxes annually. • Six percent of the state’s business owners are immigrants. • Through networks and cultural assets, immigrants strengthen Minnesota’s global connections and make the state more attractive to global investors, businesses and talent. Second District candidate Mike Obermueller agrees with the approach taken by the Chamber of Commerce. On the other hand, Kline throws immigrants out of his office and has them arrested.

I-35 traffic delays to resume in 2014 Cretin-Derham Hall junior dies in car MnDOT did not finish freeway road repairs by Laura Adelmann That work turned out to be begin work on the southbound crash in Eagan more extensive than expected, side, Klein said. SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

After months of traffic headaches, all lanes on Interstate 35 through Lakeville have reopened, but the reprieve is temporary. The Minnesota Department of Transportation will again reduce north/south traffic to single lane this spring, but instead plans to close the southbound side of the interstate to complete road repair work originally anticipated to be finished this month. Drivers have endured traffic backups on the interstate, and as a result around the city, since May as crews worked on the northbound side of the highway.

and combined with a wet spring, progress slowed, said MnDOT spokesperson Kirsten Klein. “It was a lot more work than they had anticipated,” Klein said. “There were a lot more concrete repairs needed.” This month, road crews will put finishing touches on I-35’s northbound shoulders and temporary lane closures are expected, she said, but all lanes will be open in both directions for the winter. Weather permitting, MnDOT will close southbound I-35 from County Road 50 to County Road 70 in Lakeville in the spring to

Both northbound and southbound traffic will be moved to the northbound side until the work is complete. Klein did not know how long the lanes would be closed or how long the work would take, but she said the work is less extensive than the northbound side. “We currently are surveying the repairs and should have a better idea in the next few weeks for a timeframe to complete the work,” she wrote in an email.

Minnesota Zoo director named president of World Association of Zoos Minnesota Zoo Director and CEO Lee Ehmke recently earned a two-year appointment as president of the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums. “I am honored to have been chosen to serve as president of WAZA,” Ehmke said. “As the future of wildlife and wild places becomes increasingly uncertain, the collective work of zoos and aquariums is more critical than ever. International cooperation on species survival and in situ (in nature) conservation, the sharing of best practices and representation of the zoo/aquarium community in global conservation forums are all roles facilitated well by WAZA. The Minnesota Zoo has long been engaged in the development of an effective global zoo/aquarium network, and I am excited by the opportunity to expand our participation.” WAZA includes 300 members from leading zoological institutions, associations, affiliate organizations,

and corporate partners around the world. Its goal is to guide, encourage and support its members and likeminded organizations in animal care and welfare, environmental education and global conservation. Its work includes conservation education, management, endangered ani- Lee Ehmke mal breeding programs, and best practices in exhibit development. “Lee’s appointment is tremendous recognition for the Minnesota Zoo and its commitment to conservation,” said Minnesota Zoo Board Chair Julie Kunkel. “Our involvement with WAZA has resulted in demonstrable benefits for the zoo, and we look forward to Lee’s tenure as president as an opportunity to advance our conservation efforts.” As president, Ehmke will repre-

sent WAZA at international environmental policy and regional zoo association meetings. He will lead WAZA Council and executive offices in implementing the organization’s strategic plan, working toward WAZA’s ultimate vision: that the full conservation potential of the world’s zoos and aquariums is realized. His top priorities include re-visiting and updating the World Zoo and Aquarium Conservation Strategy, initially developed in 2004, and completing a global strategic framework for zoo animal welfare. Ehmke, who has served on the WAZA council since 2009, succeeds Jörg Junhold, director of the Leipzig Zoo in Germany. He has served as director and CEO of the zoo since 2000.

A 16-year-old boy died shortly after midnight Nov. 10 after the car he was driving went off a road in Eagan and struck a power pole, according to Eagan police. Max Lowell, a Cretin-Derham Hall High School junior, was ejected from the vehicle and died at the scene at about 12:22 a.m. Police did not say what caused the crash, which is under investigation by Eagan police, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office, and the Minnesota State Patrol. The crash in the 900

block of Cliff Road downed power lines and caused power loss to several homes. The road had to be closed while crews repaired the lines west of the northeast entrance to Lebanon Hills Regional Park. Lowell, an Inver Grove Heights resident, who was involved in youth programs at River Valley Church in Apple Valley, was a starting football player for Cretin-Derham Hall, according to news reports. A memorial service was held Wednesday at the church.

Apple Valley man dies in two-vehicle crash An Apple Valley man was killed and three people were seriously injured Nov. 8 in a two-vehicle collision in Itasca County. According to the Minnesota State Patrol, Aeron E. Hammargren, 38, was traveling west on Highway 2 at about 2:10 p.m. when an eastbound Ford Fusion lost control and crossed the center line; Hammargren’s Ford Mustang struck the side of the Fusion, left the roadway and came to rest in the north ditch. Hammargren was pronounced dead, and his two passengers – his son and daughter, 13-year-old Justis E. Hammargren and 12-year-old Choloe

M. Hammargren, both of Apple Valley – were transported to St. Mary’s Medical Center in Duluth with serious injuries, the State Patrol said. The driver of the Ford Fusion – Alice M. Lemcke, 67, of Bigfork, Minn. – also was seriously injured and transported to St. Mary’s Medical Center. Both vehicles were totaled in the accident. All drivers and passengers were wearing seat belts. It’s unknown if either driver had alcohol in their system when the crash occurred, the State Patrol said. —Andrew Miller

Snow-white German shepherds are national champs Female wins coveted obedience award by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

To some who see Ron Halling and his two companions on their daily walks through central Burnsville, he might be recognizable as the guy with the white German shepherds. Those who pause to remark on the handsome canines may learn from their owner and handler that both are repeat national champions in obedience competitions. “Most people think they’re twins,� Halling said, adding that his dogs have attracted fans all along the 5.5-mile route that starts at his home on Parkwood Drive. In fact, 6-year-old Riley is a son of 9-year-old Addie, whom Halling bred to another of his white German shepherds, Hunter, who died about a year ago. Halling, Riley and Addie notched another national championship — their fourth straight — in the Brace competition at the German Shepherd Dog Club of America Nationals Oct. 11 in Philadelphia. The trio scored a nearperfect 397 of 400 points in the two-dog competi-

ing Club and is the club’s obedience director. He’s taught all breeds, but his favorite is the German Shepherd. He offers a monthly workshop on German shepherd obedience. He and his dogs have won “hundreds� of awards, Halling said. “I’m one of the few guys that you pay to come and see,� said Halling, a U.S. Postal Service supervisor in Minneapolis who retired in 2010. “I tell you what to do when your dog acts aggressive, and that’s what the first hour of my class is about.� Some German shepherd breeders don’t like white dogs, saying they have a “digressive� gene, Halling said. That doesn’t bother him. Whites are all he’s ever owned. His first, in 1972, was named Cokerr. “I started with a German shepherd that was so vicious it was quarantined three times by the city of Minneapolis,� said Halling, a 1972 graduate of Richfield High School who moved with his wife, Ann, and their children to Burnsville in 1982. “And I ended up taking him through obedience, which was part of my sentence, basically. One night I ran

into a Minneapolis policeman who ran the canine unit. He taught me the dog was going to continue biting. But he taught me how to teach it when to bite and when not to bite.� German shepherds aren’t aggressive by nature, Halling said. “They can be if they don’t have a good, strong pack leader,� he said. The human owners are a stand-in for the pack. “That’s where people run into their problems. They buy German shepherds or get gifts of a German shepherd, and then they try to treat it like a normal dog. And most German shepherds, if they don’t have the pack leadership, they’ll have a tendency to try to find their hierarchy in the family.� Teaching German shepherds obedience takes patience, time and a firm set of verbal “markers� to reward good behavior and discourage bad, Halling said. “Be consistent and firm,� he advised. “But make it fun for the dog. Just practice, practice, practice.�

Lakeville businessman survived Nazi imprisonment to build family legacy Sidney Manders demonstrated integrity by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Sidney Manders was 20 years old when his plane was shot down over Germany on Nov. 5, 1944. Seven of the 10-member crew he was with became prisoners of war near the end of Hitler’s rule over Germany, a devastating experience he talked little about before his unexpected death Oct. 27. Manders, 89, was a St. Paul native who joined the Air Force and was a gunner aboard the B-17 when it was struck by anti-aircraft fire, said crew mate Merlin Dyvig, 89, of Iowa. “The airplane caught on fire and we couldn’t seem to get it out,� Dyvig said. “We were leaking (fuel) something terrible. There were so many holes in the wings, we expected to blow up.� He said the pilot ordered the men to bail out before the engine fell out, and the pilot and the bombardier remained in the plane when it crash landed in France. Dyvig said he and the other men who had parachuted out landed in Nazi Germany; they were rounded up and taken to a POW camp. A German police officer found their copilot, a Jewish man, and hung him in front of the men. It was a horrific scene that family members said haunted Manders the rest of his life. Manders had landed in a tree, breaking both legs, and never received

Education District 196 enrollment to rise slightly by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

For the first time in nearly a decade, Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan schools may see a slight uptick in enrollment next school year. The increase is expected to encompass all levels, with district high schools seeing the greatest rise by Oct. 1, 2014. Enrollment in District 196 high schools is expected to reach 7,836 students, which is an increase of 75 students, or 0.97 percent. Elementary school enrollment is projected to reach 11,653 students, which is an increase of 26 students (0.22 percent). Middle school enrollment is expected to increase by one student with a total enrollment of 5,996 students. Kim Reis, student information supervisor for District 196, credits the recent turnaround to cyclical trends and a recent increase in housing developments within in the district. District officials determine enrollment projections by examining housing trends, existing enrollment numbers and census data. K-12 enrollment is expected to reach 26,040 next year. Total enrollment, which includes early childhood and adult basic education programs, is expected to increase by 24 students (0.10 percent). Enrollment in District 196 has fallen each year since 2006, but has slowly started to stabilize. Jessica Harper is at jessica.harper@ecminc.com or facebook.com/sunthisweek.

Creative fundraising at charter school The recent levy referendum in District 196 will not benefit Paideia Academy in Apple Valley. Charter schools like Paideia Academy survive on the same federal and state funding that all schools receive but they must rely heavily on fundraising dollars to enhance the budget. Marci Levy-Maguire, Paideia’s director, has resorted to provocative measures to help raise funds for science lab supplies, student workbooks, updated computers, improvement to the school’s library and after-school clubs. She has volunteered to swim with Mall of America’s SeaLife’s sharks on Give to the Max Day, Nov. 14. “The school could use an infusion of $62,000 for the items on our priority list and if we were allowed to partake in the dollars raised by the recent levy, we could meet our needs with less than 11 percent of our student population,� said Levy-Maguire. The school has received a clean audit of its financials in each of its nine years of operation. It maintains a healthy fund balance which acts as a cushion against unanticipated expenditures, funding deficiencies and state aid holdbacks. To help Paideia Academy with its fundraising efforts, visit www.paideiaacademy.org and click on the green donation button. Donations are accepted year-round.

Stoven began her journey with community education in 1986 when District 196 received a grant to investigate and initiate older adult programming. Through that grant, she started the Apple Valley Senior Group – which began with eight members and continues today with thousands of participants each year – and was hired to lead senior adult programming and partnerships. She also has led the district’s United Way campaign and Back to School Supplies project.

Paideia Academy information night slated Paideia Academy, a tuition-free, K-8 public charter school at 7200 W. 147th St. in Apple Valley, will hold an information night for prospective families of elementary and middle school students from 6:30-8 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 20. The school’s mission is to challenge and inspire learners by providing a rigorous, content-rich, classical education incorporating languages, music, and the arts while nurturing positive character development. Tours of the school are available at 10 a.m. the last Thursday of each month or by appointment. For more information or a tour, call 952-953-6200 or visit www.paideiaacademy.org.

Convoy of Hope – have staff and programs in the Philippines, and use MannaPack meals in ongoing hunger relief and community development work. “With three partners working in the Philippines every day, our food can quickly get where it’s needed most when disaster strikes,� said Matt Muraski, FMSC director of international programs. “All three partners are mobilizing their meal inventories for this disaster, and two of them – Convoy of Hope and Risen Savior Missions – have asked us to ship at least nine additional cargo containers, or 2.5 million meals, as soon as possible.� Muraski said he expects the requests to climb as partners of FMSC assess the need. Typhoon Haiyan roared through the central Philippines for 48 hours last weekend, reportedly killing 10,000 people, leaving 600,000 displaced, and destroying rice and coconut crops that will take months, if not years, to replace. “Not only is there an

urgent need for shortterm food relief, but also for long-term supplies as Filipinos rebuild their local food sources,� said Muraski. “For months to come, Feed My Starving Children will need volunteer meal-packers and generous donors to meet increased need in the Philippines, while continuing to serve nearly 50 other nations where we have promised meals this year.� FMSC receives no government support or donated ingredients, so private donations are needed to fund all meals at 22 cents each. Donors may give online to the Philippines relief effort at fmsc.org/ Philippines. Volunteers may sign up at fmsc.org/volunteer to pack meals at FMSC locations in Eagan, Coon Rapids and Chanhassen.

WERNER, from 1A

Retired Maj. Gen. Larry Shellito, commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs and former adjutant general of the Minnesota National Guard, gave the keynote address at the Patriotic Days at Farmington High School on Nov. 7. (Photo by Andy Rogers) PATRIOTIC, from 0A faculty and special guests. The theme of the evening was to pay tribute to Vietnam War veterans. Ret. Maj. Gen. Larry Shellito gave the keynote address and spoke of his time as a Vietnam veterans. He said he was shipped out 12 days after graduating from college. With a background in accounting and finance, he figured he was in for office work, but instead strapped on a parachute and spent most of the time in the jungle. “It was the most transformative time of my life,� Shellito said. He urged veterans to tell their story.

“Vietnam vets kept it to themselves when they got home,� Shellito said. “Share you’re story.� Shellito is the commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Veteran Affairs. The event also featured music by both high school concert bands, which played the “Armed Forces Salute,� and Cantabile choir, which performed “In Flanders Fields.� A combined fourthgrade choir sang the “Star Spangled Banner,� “America,� and “This Land is Your Land.� Following the featured speaker, Seth Molitor and Ryan Parco played “Taps.� Student speakers included Victoria Almquist, who recited

her winning essay from the Freedom of Democracy contest. Cyndi Schmidke and Jake Hoffman, leaders of the high school’s Yellow Ribbon Network Student Chapter, shared master of ceremony duties. The evening closed with a rendition of “God Bless America� with the concert band, and solos by Abby Haenni and Aundreya Edwards from Christian Life School. More than 27 Farmington businesses, organizations and individuals helped coordinate and sponsor the event. Email Andy Rogers at andy.rogers@ecm-inc. com.

the city. There he met a woman whom he recalled he assisted months ago as a member of the Domestic Violence Response Unit when she was the victim of assault. She didn’t remember him, but Werner was overwhelmed by the changes he saw. The woman had a wonderful apartment, her children were happy and growing due, in large part, because the woman was able to escape the abusive relationship with her husband. It’s moments like this Werner and other officers focus on when battling domestic violence – one of the most pervasive crimes in the south metro, Minnesota and the nation. “That is why we are here – to help others,â€? said Werner, who worked in Burnsville for 13 years before being hired as Rosemount’s chief in September 2012. Officers, advocates and community members can become overwhelmed by the statistics with a feeling that they can’t make a dent in the problem. Those numbers include: • One in four women will experience domestic violence in their lifetimes. • 37,010 Minnesota women and children were served by domestic violence programs in 2006. • Over the past decade, an average of 18 Minnesota women have died from domestic abuse each year. • According to a report from Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom, there were 58 cases of felony domestic violence charges in the county in 2011. Werner said everyone in the community – law enforcement, prosecutors, advocates and residents – need to collaborate in all phases of response in an effort to curb domestic violence. Police officers and sheriff deputies are on

the front lines in this fight. Law enforcement training and changing tactics aim to improve response to reports of domestic abuse. Werner said scenes can often be “dangerous,� “turbulent� and “volatile.� Since Rosemount has one officer per squad car on patrol, two squad cars are required before entering a scene. Werner said Rosemount has a mutual assistance agreement with Apple Valley and Inver Grove Heights, which has helped in many cases. Even before officers arrive on the scene, they are preparing for entering a residence by communicating with dispatch regarding previous calls from the location. “It’s a lot of risk assessment: What is the history of violence? Are there weapons involved?� Werner said. Because changes in Minnesota statute created the ability for law enforcement to charge domestic cases rather than it needing a victim’s consent to press charges or serve as a court witness, officers have been trained to vigilantly collect physical evidence and witness statements immediately. Werner said it’s often the first priority on the scene to separate the victim from the alleged perpetrator and calm down both of the parties. Officers immediately start collecting evidence. Werner said they are trained to ask the right questions to support possible charges. With a typical 48-hour hold in jail for those arrested on probable cause, officers need to work quick to submit charges to the city or county attorney’s office especially if they feel a suspect’s release would further endanger a victim. Residents can best help in preventing domestic violence by calling police if they suspect abuse or indications that abuse could occur – shouting, visible injuries or a person’s change in

The toll Werner said it’s officers’ priority to make sure the victim is safe, working in cooperation with agencies like Burnsville-based 360 Communities, which operates Lewis House locations in Eagan and Hastings for women and children who have been victims. The nonprofit agency also offers an array of victim support services, including court advocacy, sexual assault counseling, food assistance and much more. The swift, professional and compassionate response to the frequent reports of domestic assault “starts the process of how we create healthy families,� Werner said. “It is a lot of work with a lot of different people to prevent further violence and to undo what had been done,� Werner said. He said Dakota County is blessed to have the cooperation of 360 Communities, the Dakota County Attorney’s Office, the sheriff ’s department and other municipal police departments. That cooperation helps address what Werner said is the biggest concern in preventing domestic violence. “The arrest is a stopgap measure,� he said, because its doesn’t deal with the fact that boys who witness domestic violence are twice as likely to abuse their own partners and children when they become adults, according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. “When children are involved, it is heartbreaking,� he said. Programs like those at 360 Communities and court services allow boys to access counseling services in an effort to end the cycle of violence. Werner said domestic violence response and prevention is a top priority for the department. “I’m proud of what we have in our organization to meet the challenges,� he said. Although the frequency of reports and the complexity of the response can make efforts to prevent domestic violence a huge challenge, Werner said people can’t focus solely on the statistics. “What would it be like if we did nothing?� Werner asked. “Getting the best outcome for families – that is our measure for success.� Email Tad Johnson at t a d . j o h n s o n @ e c m - i n c. com.

Lakeville man saves neighbor’s home from fire Mark Keppel has a history of heroic actions by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Soldier gets Purple Heart – at last Kenneth Tinsley was wounded in Vietnam in 1968 by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

It was a long time coming, but Kenneth Tinsley finally received his Purple Heart. More than four decades after he was wounded in a rocket attack in Vietnam while serving with the Army’s 1st Infantry Division, Tinsley was awarded the Purple Heart at a ceremony Monday at the Apple Valley American Legion. The Purple Heart is a combat decoration given to those wounded or killed while serving with the U.S. military. “This award represents true sacrifice and goes to our most valiant warriors,� said Maj. Kristen Auge, deputy director of public affairs for the Minnesota National Guard, who served as master of ceremonies at the Monday presentation. As for the long delay between being wounded and receiving the combat decoration, Tinsley, of Apple Valley, attributed it to a simple oversight. Ten days after the April 1968 rocket attack, he left Vietnam because his tour

(Photo by Andrew Miller) of duty was complete, and understandably he was more focused on returning home than inquiring into the status of his Purple Heart. There the matter stood until a few years ago, when a friend with a military organization encouraged Tinsley to fill out the paperwork to receive the award. The large crowd in at-

tendance in the American Legion hall for the ceremony included Tinsley’s wife, Karen, and more than a dozen of his extended family members. Presenting the award was Chuck Jones, Minnesota Department Commander for the Military Order of the Purple Heart.

A Lakeville man’s prompt actions saved his neighbor’s home from almost certain destruction on Wednesday, Nov. 6. The incident started when a panicked teenage neighbor ran out of the Innsbrook Drive home next to Mark Keppel yelling that his house was on fire. Keppel sprang into action. As 911 was called, Keppel, 59, grabbed his fire extinguisher and ran into the home already so thick with smoke he said he had to duck down to breathe. Keppel saw flames had engulfed the stove and microwave and were melting the countertop. “The whole wall was on fire,� Keppel said. After extinguishing about half of the flames, Keppel said he had to step out onto the deck to get some fresh air. He returned, located a wooden stick in the tracks to the sliding glass door and used it to open cupboards to extinguish flames inside. Within 10 minutes, Keppel had the fire out, just as Lakeville firefighters and first responders were arriving on the scene. Lakeville Fire Chief Mike Meyer credited Keppel for saving his neighbor’s home. “It would have been obviously a much worse scenario if he didn’t come in with an extinguisher,� Meyer said. “It would have involved the whole kitchen.� He said the boy had been heating oil for french fries, left it unattended and returned to find it on fire. Meyer estimated the

home suffered about $10,000 in smoke damages. While he advised people to keep fire extinguishers close to the kitchen, and credited Keppel for saving the home, he added he does not suggest anyone enter a burning building. “I commend what he did,� Meyer said. “He saved the neighbor’s house from further damage, but the flip side of that is you have to be careful when doing that kind of thing.� Betty Keppel said she was proud of her husband’s actions. “There are not a lot of people who would literally run into a burning house to help someone,� she said.

This was not the first time Mark Keppel has performed life-saving actions. Long ago, he also used a fire extinguisher to put out a fire in their own home, and Betty Keppel said he performed the Heimlich maneuver on their 12-year-old daughter Madison when she was a year old to save her from choking on a coin. Two weeks later, he saved another toddler who was choking on a hot dog and had turned blue. “He’s always been my hero,� she said. “Now he’s just more of one.� Laura Adelmann is at laura.adelmann@ecminc.com.

Sports Rosemount hits jackpot at section swimming Irish, Farmington will be represented at state next week by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

It wasn’t so much a question of whether Rosemount would win the Section 3AA girls swimming and diving championship. First, the Irish were heavily favored, and second, the section meet format emphasizes getting teams and individuals through to the state meet. On that second matter, the Irish succeeded spectacularly. They have 11 individual qualifiers and three relays in next week’s state meet, which coach Tami Carlson said she believes is a school record. Rosemount has state qualifiers in all but one event. “Some of our girls didn’t have to taper for the section meet, but the ones who did taper did a great job there,” Carlson said. “We thought our eighth-grader, Cassandra Hutchins, would taper well, and she qualified for state in the 100 free(style).” Rosemount sophomore Megan Wenman is a state medal contender in the 200- and 100-yard freestyle races. She won the 200 freestyle at the Section 3AA meet Nov. 8 in Richfield in 1 minute, 51.12 seconds and has the fourth-fastest seed time in that event at state. Wenman is the No. 5 seed in the 100 freestyle after winning the Section 3AA race in 51.12. But she might have more in the tank, particularly in the 100 freestyle, where she was second in the 2012 Class AA meet. The Irish also are medal contenders in the 400 freestyle relay, where they’re seeded fifth after Grace Herron, Katie Garrity, Olivia Johnston and Wenman won the section championship in 3:32.38. Michelle Simms, Johnston, Abby Tesch and Hutchins took second in the 200 medley relay in 1:49.36, a time that was about 2.5 seconds below the state cutoff. Tesch was second in the 200 freestyle relay in 1:54.35 as Rosemount swimmers swept the top two places at the section meet. Tesch also advanced in the 100 butterfly by taking third in 58.61 and beating the state qualifying standard. Johnston is section champion in the 200 individual medley in 2:06.52 and is the No. 5 seed at state. Garrity was third in 2:09.08, a time that beat the state cutoff. Johnston also placed second in the 100 breaststroke in 1:05.19. Herron won the 50 freestyle and 100 butterfly at the Section 3AA meet. She is the No. 8 seed in the 50 freestyle at 24.26 seconds and the seventh seed in the butterfly at 57.16. Senior Sawyer Murray was third in diving with 338.15 points and will

move on to state. Hutchins advanced in the 100 freestyle by taking second to Wenman in 54.13. Garrity was Section 3AA champion in the 500 freestyle at 5:04.34 and is the No. 4 seed in the event at state. Rosemount is the No. 8 seed in the 200 freestyle relay. Herron, Garrity, Hutchins and Wenman won the event at the section meet in 1:38.29. The Irish breezed to the Section 3AA championship with 478.5 points, almost 150 ahead of Woodbury, the runner-up. They will try to improve on last year’s 13th-place finish at state. The state meet will begin Monday with diving preliminaries at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center. Swimming preliminaries are Tuesday, with swimming and diving finals scheduled Wednesday. All Class AA competition begins at 6 p.m. This year’s schedule puts a few more days between the section and state meets. Carlson said she didn’t think that would be a problem for her top swimmers, who were not going to taper until after the section meet anyway. The bigger question would be how it affects swimmers who needed to taper for their section meets and then have to prepare for a state meet almost two weeks later.

Farmington Farmington swimmers qualified for the state meet in seven events after the Tigers finished third at the Section 1AA meet last week in Rochester. Among the qualifiers was senior Kaitlyn O’Reilly, who won the 200 individual medley in a section-record 2:05.03 and is the No. 2 seed at state in that event, behind only Lakeville South’s Brianna Alexander. O’Reilly also advanced in the 100 backstroke, taking third in the section finals in 57.56. She’s the seventh seed in that event at state. Farmington junior Kristen Kracke made it through in the 50 freestyle, taking second in 24.51. She also reached state in the 100 freestyle with a third-place time of 53.38 at sections. Chelsea Gehrke finished third in the 100 butterfly in 58.54 but beat the state qualifying standard by more than one second. Farmington teams also reached state in two relays. Kracke, O’Reilly, Gehrke and Cora Ruzicka were second in the 200 medley relay at sections in 1:49.02. The same four individuals were second in the 200 freestyle relay in 1:38.48.

Another one steps up for Irish Cross scores twice in Rosemount’s 38-7 victory by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

As Rosemount’s winning streak increases, its cast of contributors grows larger. Thursday night, the Irish romped past Eastview 38-7 in a state Class 6A quarterfinal game at TCF Bank Stadium, getting big plays from a running back who couldn’t suit up for the team’s first three games. Tyrek Cross, a 185-pound junior running back, scored two touchdowns. He missed the Irish’s first game against Eastview, a 24-0 victory in the second week of the season, because Minnesota State High School League transfer rules mandated that he sit out three games after he moved from Wisconsin. He watched closely, though. “I knew it was a big rivalry,” Cross said. “That first game, I could see they were a tough, physical defensive team. But we have a lot of weapons now. If they try to take away one of our guys, another one can come in

and make a play. We’re kind of hard to stop.” In 10 games since the Irish’s only loss to Wayzata in the season opener, they have outscored opponents 410-90. “They played well. Obviously they’re a good team, well schooled,” Eastview coach Kelly Sherwin said. “The big thing is we couldn’t give up big plays, and they had about three that killed us. We had to make them go the length of the field, which is tough for high school teams to do, and hope they made some mistakes.” Rosemount (10-1) will play Roseville, a 24-21 winner over Maple Grove, in the Class 6A semifinals at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 14, at the Metrodome. It will be the Irish’s third trip to the semifinals in four years, and the first time they have made the semifinal round in consecutive years. It took the Irish almost the entire first quarter to take the lead, but once they did “we just kept playing Rosemount football,” Cross said. Rosemount scored with 44 seconds left in the first quarter on a Cross 41-yard run. He got the ball on a

sweep, waited for his blocks to set up and when they did, he took off and scored without being touched. Irish kicker Alex Trana made it 10-0 with a 25-yard field goal in the second quarter. A 42-yard pass from Jackson Erdmann to Tray Ashby-Phan put Rosemount in position for the field goal. A 19-yard punt gave Rosemount the ball at Eastview’s 35, and seconds later the Irish scored again. Dimitri Williams found a wideopen Tyler Hartigan with a halfback option pass for a touchdown and a 17-0 lead. A 37-yard run by Cross into Eastview territory set up the Irish’s third touchdown, a 15-yard run by Lowell Green with 8:02 left in the third quarter. Rosemount’s lead grew to 24-7. The Irish’s next possession ended with a 54-yard touchdown pass from Erdmann to Williams. Cross scored his second touchdown of the game on a 12-yard run with 11:00 remaining.

DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE November 14, 2013

HOMICIDES, from 1A shot a man to death. Authorities say she left the bar with Nelson and his current girlfriend, Ashley Marie Conrade, and they drove to her Rosemount townhome. Schunk’s family reported her missing Sept. 23. Roger Earl Holland, 36, has been charged with two counts of second-degree murder in connection with the death of his wife and their unborn child. Margorie Ann Holland, 37, was found March 7 by police lying at the bottom of a stairway in her apartment, according to the criminal complaint. Police and medical personnel found Margorie Holland’s body had bruises, abrasions and a neck injury consistent with strangulation. Roger Holland told police he found her facedown on the floor and nonresponsive. He said he began CPR before calling 911 to report that his wife was in cardiac arrest. Jury selection for the case is underway. Opening statements and testimony for the trial will begin Monday, Dec. 2. The Oct. 8 shooting deaths of a married Rosemount couple, which was ruled a murder-suicide, were not included in yearto-date statistics. In the case, Steven Lee Vasey Jr., 32, suffered multiple gunshot wounds, and Melissa Vasey, 31, suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound while inside their apartment at the 2900 block of 146th Street West. Police records indicate there were no prior calls to the residence.

Response teams Domestic Abuse Response Teams from police departments across the metro answer thousands of domestic calls every year in an effort to prevent relationships from deteriorating to fatal outcomes. “We handle everything from an argument between a brother and a sister or any type of domestic re-

lationship to full-blown, people getting beaten,� said Sgt. Dennis Paulson, who oversees DART activities at the Eden Prairie Police Department. Although the situations vary from call to call, DART officers do their best to assist victims and refer them to services like Burnsville-based 360 Communities, which runs the Lewis House shelters for women and children who have been victims of domestic abuse in addition to offering an array of support services. Officers work with individuals to make sure they have emergency plans, including a place to go when situations turn threatening. The team ensures consistency by making sure victims meet with the same officer, building a relationship of trust and support. The ultimate goal is to stop the problem and reduce repeat calls. “We let the abusers know that we won’t tolerate this behavior and do our best to help the victim get past the situation,� Paulson said. The incidents vary as much as the areas in which they occur and the socioeconomic groups they affect. In Edina, a suburb with an affluent reputation, domestic violence occurs as frequently as anywhere else but is less likely to be reported, according to Edina Police Chief Jeff Long. The community has less multifamily housing, meaning the domestic violence is occurring in single-family houses where it is not heard and reported like it would be in an apartment building, he said. Police also refer victims to Public Health agencies for services. State law is clear that police have to arrest the suspect in domestic abuse if he or she is causing injury to another person, Long said. “The law is there to protect victims,� he said. Domestic violence situations are precarious for

both for officers and the people involved. “It’s an emotionally charged situation where people aren’t thinking rationally and can turn to knives, guns or their fists when police arrive,� Long said. Victims have a history of turning on officers when a family member is being arrested, Long said. In some cases, the victim is dependent on a spouse for financial support and realizes the arrest means they’ll lose their means of support. In a case where a son was arrested for attacking his mother and brother, Long and a detective had to call in backup after the mother and brother began attacking the police once they realized the officers were going to make an arrest, he said. While the majority of domestic violence homicides involve a man murdering a woman, and domestic incidents in general are commonly between a man and woman, domestic violence can occur in any type of relationship. The Brooklyn Center Police Department and DART are working to educate people of all cultures about resources related to domestic violence. “In some cultures, violence is expected, it’s almost acceptable,� said Brooklyn Center Police Department Cmdr. Tim Gannon. “The department is trying to let people know not to be afraid of police and have us come out and help.� Brooklyn Park police use the knock-and-talk program for high-risk cases. Officers and Domestic Violence Prevention Coordinator Jamie Olson will make unannounced visits to a house when they believe an assault may occur. “We try to do it as close to an assault as we can, and the goal is to provide the victim with information, possibly make arrests for future order violations and most importantly create a relationship with the victim to trust police in fu-

ture,� Olson said. Every domestic-related case, whether assault or order-related violations, goes to Olson. Every case is scored with a recidivism test (likelihood of particular offender offending again), Ontario Domestic Assault Risk Assessment and a lethality assessment. Overall, domestic incidents tend to fluctuate from year to year, but an increase in reports of assaults isn’t necessarily a bad thing, according to Olson. “When we see an increase in numbers, it doesn’t necessarily mean there’s been an increase in violence,� Olson said. “It just means there has been an increase in reporting.� What happens behind closed doors between loved ones, family members and friends is hard to uncover and prevent. While law enforcement does its best to combat the problem, most cases of domestic violence are never reported to the police, according to the 1989 Violence in Marriage study. Even the amount of domestic homicides reported is up for interpretation. “It’s been a very tragic year, but this is just a small group of those who have suffered from domestic violence,� said Safia Khan Lovett, a program manager for the Minnesota Coalition for Battered Women. “There are thousands more that go unreported.� According to Olson, domestic violence is an issue that affects each and every community, whether it is acknowledged or not. “It doesn’t matter if it’s low income, high income, what race,� she said. “It’s something that’s part of every community.� ECM Publishers Inc. reporters Tad Johnson, Paul Groessel, Lisa Kaczke and Katy Zillmer contributed to this story.

Holiday program helps seniors Home Instead Senior Care is teaming up with the Burnsville Senior Center and area retailers to sponsor Be a Santa to a Senior, a program that collects, wraps and delivers gifts to lonely and needy seniors in south-of-theriver suburbs. The program runs through Dec. 11. Christmas trees in area stores and businesses feature ornaments with the first names of the seniors and their gift requests. Holiday shoppers can pick an ornament off the trees, buy the items listed and return them unwrapped to the store, with the ornament attached. Home Instead Senior Care staff and helpers will collect, wrap and distribute the gifts.

Trees are located in the following local establishments: Augustana Regent, 14500 Regent Lane, Burnsville; Burnsville Senior Center, 296 W. Burnsville Parkway; Byerly’s, 401 County Road 42 E., Burnsville, and 1299 Promenade Place, Eagan; City of Burnsville, 100 Civic Center Parkway; Highview Hills Senior Living, 20150 Highview Ave., Lakeville; Home Instead Senior Care, 1600 Cliff Road, E., Burnsville; The Rivers Senior Living, 1111 River Hills Drive, Burnsville; Walgreens, 2200 Highway 13 E., Burnsville. For more information about the program, visit www.beasantatoasenior.com or call 952882-9300.

STUDY, from 1A

positions are accurately evaluated and classified. The study compared compensation to similar positions in other markets. It also studied internal equity, and made sure the current structure and any changes would comply with state and federal laws. Fox Lawson has studied other cities’ compensation in Minnesota and has experience in evaluating positions such as accountants, maintenance workers, human resources, fire marshals, liquor store managers, directors, assistants, and other specialists. The council hired Fox Lawson to conduct the job evaluation study in March for $22,000, which came out of the Employee Expense fund. Fox Lawson has worked with Farmington in the past and is familiar with its pay structure.

that allows for completive salary increases. Option one would boost the lowest paid employees salaries, which would increase the current payroll by 0.3 percent or $9,147. The other two options would install the recommended 11-step salary structure, which would at most increase payroll by 1.2 percent or $39,429. What the city does with the information is still up for discussion. The City Council will discuss the findings, proposed wage scales, and how it wants to negotiate with unions during a closed session Monday. Non-union positions will be part of the 2014 budget. This study does not include police officers, according to McKnight, which make up a large portion of the city’s budget. The city recognized Email Andy Rogers at the need to conduct a andy.rogers@ecm-inc. study to make sure the com.

Mejia will be discussing her reptile research at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 19, at the Robert Trail Library in Rosemount as part of the “Meet the Author� series sponsored by the Rosemount Area Arts Council.

reptiles comes as a surprise to those who know her. “I’m actually not a reptile person – I’m the kind of person who sees a garter snake and screams and runs away,� she said. “The Dragon Keeper� is available from online booksellers such as Barnes & Noble and Amazon.

Talking Prevention with Dr. Louie and Metro Dentalcare Dr. Louie graduated from the University of South Dakota School of Medicine in 1999 and the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry in 2005. She enjoys the challenges of general dentistry including implant restorations, extractions, root canals, dentures and partials, children and cosmetic work. “My passion is to make people feel good about themselves, and what better way to do that then to give them conď€ dence in their smile. A healthy mouth leads to more smiles and in turn conď€ dence in your other daily activities.â€? Dr. Louie’s team includes an exceptional group of individuals who have worked together for the last 5-8 years. Her team works side by side to make your experience in the dental ofď€ ce as pleasant as possible. The team wants to teach you how to take good care of your teeth to prevent unnecessary major dental work in the future. “Prevention is always the key to retaining your natural teeth as you age.â€? Being able to work in a multi-specialty practice group is important to Dr. Louie but so is her life outside the ofď€ ce. She enjoys spending time with her husband Tom, sons Ethan and Grant and daughter Taylor Mei. Spending time with her family outdoors, gardening and reading round out her interests. Dr. Louie has seen areas of underserved populations where dental care is not readily available. “It is fortunate that we have the opportunity to access preventative dental care. People should not fear going to the dentist. They should fear the outcome of not being able to go. My team offers a exible schedule including evenings and Saturday hours.â€?
