The Family Fun Fest treated children and their families to plenty of entertainment Friday night in the Rosemount Community Center gymnasium and in the ice arena. The gym was filled with games, music and activities. Children got a chance to try their hands at many games for the opportunity to win prizes, sing along with the Alpha-Bits and jump around in one of three inflatable play structures.

Now that the Farmington School Board has approved the district’s new school concept, district administrators will begin hiring teachers and registering students for the project-based school. The board approved Farmington New School at its regular board meeting Monday night. Farmington New School is touted as a project-based, continuous progress,

multi-age learning center. The vote was originally set for the Jan. 27 meeting, but with no school that day due to subzero temperatures, the board shortened its agenda that night, pushing the decision back to Feb. 10. “This is not just a green light to go all the way forward, it’s a green light to take the next steps,� Board Chairwoman Tera Lee said. “I wanted to make sure that was very clear toSee SCHOOL, 11A

Bellows will not seek re-election Sheriff’s 35-year career in law enforcement started as a city of Lakeville patrol officer by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

After 35 years in local law enforcement, Dakota County Sheriff Dave Bellows said he will not seek re-election in November. He is recommending Chief Deputy Tim Leslie run for the position, a decision Leslie said he is considering and discussing with his family. Leslie added he expects

to announce his decision by next week. Bellows, 58, started as a Lakeville patrol officer in 1980, moved up ranks and then joined the sheriff’s office as commander in 1999. A year later, he was named chief deputy by former Sheriff Don Gudmundson, who then appointed Bellows sheriff when he retired in early 2010. Bellows was elected to the position that fall.

Dakota County’s most tenured employee, Bellows said retiring from law enforcement was a difficult decision because he still loves what he is doing and is eager to come to work, but he questioned whether he would still feel that same level of excitement in another four years. “I wasn’t sure about that,� he said. “Four years from See BELLOWS, 15A

Cold temps outside are the perfect excuse to gather inside for a chance to try some of the newest and trendiest wines with the Farmington Wine Club. The Farmington Wine Club, established in the mid 2000s, is a chance for Farmington municipal liquor stores to showcase some of the latest wines in a social setting. More than 40 people gathered Thursday, Feb. 6, at Celts Pub and Grill in Farmington to try more than 20 wines and a handful of craft beers. “I wanted to show our wines and craft beers, to showcase the hot spots that are up and coming in the liquor industry,� said Blair Peterson, liquor operations manager for Farmington.

Rosemount woman shares family spirit with at-risk youths Akslen named Eagan Citizen of the Year by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

For many young adults living at Lincoln Place in Eagan, family is a foreign concept. But on Thursday evenings, residents at the supportive-housing complex get a small taste of what it’s like to be a part of a family as they share a meal with each other and members of Berean Baptist Church in Burnsville. It’s a time for residents to discuss their day, relax and enjoy a home-cooked meal — a comfort many of them never had before. It’s a tradition that wouldn’t be possible without Rosemount resident Karen Akslen, who started the meal night shortly after Lincoln Place, which serves young adults who are at risk of homelessness opened in 2010.

alone, and I wanted to help them come together and create a sense of community,� Akslen said. “What every 18-year-old wants is a home-cooked meal.� Her first meal, homemade lasagna, had a small attendance of seven to eight residents. Not only did Akslen make a meal from scratch but also tried to make the dinning area cozy with a table runner and candles. After preparing the first meal on her own, Akslen invited residents to help with the cooking to further create a family atmosphere. Residents were delighted by the new experience and Lincoln Place employees were pleased to have an opportunity for residents to learn new skills while spending time with positive adult role models, said Aster Zenebe, a case worker at Lincoln Place. Most residents come to Lincoln Place from the foster care system or un-

stable home lives, Zenebe said. “Many of the youth here didn’t have positive relationships with adults,� she said. “She and the other volunteers from Berean are building that positivity. We are so grateful to have her.� It’s this interaction with residents and the opportunity to provide them a grandmother figure Akslen said she finds most rewarding. “I love seeing all the youths’ response and knowing that, even if they don’t say anything, I’m making a difference for someone,� she said. As word spread, more residents joined in the monthly meals. After the first year, Akslen’s fellow church members joined the effort, which enabled her to host a weekly meal, which serves between 14 and 16 residents every Thursday. “It’s wonderful to see how it’s developed,� she said.

Over the years, Akslen has expanded her efforts to include a food shelf and a Christmas gift drive at Lincoln Place. Both programs are sponsored by Berean Baptist Church, which collects items for the food shelf and raises funds to purchase Christmas gifts for all Lincoln Place residents. “We try to make it fun with a bag of items that they need and are fun things,� Akslen said. Last year, residents received clothes, personal necessities, movie passes and snacks that were tailored to each person’s taste. Though she remains passionate about the programs she’s started, Akslen was forced to step back a bit over the past year to care for her husband, Jon. In 2007 he was diagnosed with Louie Body Disease, which is a form of dementia that shares characteristics with Parkinson’s disease. In the last year, his condition became progressively worse. Akslen said she hopes to assist in some of the dinners at Lincoln Place this spring, though. Jessica Harper is at jessica. harper@ecm-inc.com or facebook.com/sunthisweek. "

County to create citizen panel for Lebanon Hills plan by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

In response to residents’ calls to be further included in the Lebanon Hills Regional Park planning process, Dakota County officials are looking to create a citizen advisory panel to weigh in on the proposed master plan. The proposed plan includes 24.5 miles of unpaved trails, a new paved 6.5-mile connector trail that runs east and west and a 2-mile paved loop around Holland and Mc-

Donough lakes. It would keep all existing unpaved trails in Lebanon Hills the same and would add 6 miles of unpaved trails. In total, the park would have 46 miles of unpaved trails. Large groups of residents have been critical of the plan and its process since its proposal last June. Claiming the county’s series of public meetings wasn’t enough, residents, many of whom are former members of a 2001 Lebanon Hills citizen advisory panel, urged officials to create a new citizen group.

Eagan resident Holly Jenkins, who is among those to call for a panel, said she is pleased county commissioners are “headed in the right direction� but worries whether the committee’s input will be limited. “I hope the selection process truly represents park users and citizens,� said Jenkins, who founded Wilderness in the City, a citizen group that has been critical of the existing master plan proposal. Concerned that residents were feeling left out of the process, County

Commissioner Nancy Schouweiler proposed creating the citizen committee, which was unanimously approved by the Dakota County Physical Development Committee on Feb. 11. “No matter what decision would we make, people would still be upset with the plan because of the process,� Schouweiler said. “We can’t go back once a decision is made. It’s in place for 10 years or so. We need to do it right.� The commission is expected to formally vote on

Feb. 25 on whether to create the committee. If formally approved, county commissioners will each appoint two members to the 14-member committee as well as several “at large� members who represent interested organizations. “We want this committee to represent the people of the entire county,� Schouweiler said.

Rasmussen students learn real-world policing at new training facility New law enforcement training facility opened in January by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

3 ' 3 // '< # AA ' " ;A

(,!' , ,*@

Rasmussen’s program keeps a small number of students — about 35 to 40 — which Ardolf said enables instructors to work one-on-one with students. In addition to taking a hands-on approach, instructors record students’ performance from mounted cameras to provide additional feedback. Like officers in the field, students are issued a uniform, bulletproof vest and weapon; however, students’ guns are plastic replicas. A padded room and video simulation enable students to practice useof-force tactics. Though most training exercises occur at the Eagan facility, students receive firearm training at a facility in Jordan. After completing a variety of simulations Friday night, the students practiced using pepper spray, which includes being sprayed themselves with the chemical irritant. “The exposure helps students really understand what’s it’s like. That knowledge is very useful in the field,� Ardolf said. Later in the program students will be required to be shot briefly with a stun gun. After undergoing extensive training, students receive certification in the use of stun guns, batons, radar and emergency vehicles. Offering a certification is one of several ways Rasmussen’s program differs from other law enforcement training programs, Ardolf said. Ardolf also noted that Rasmussen’s program, which will accept new applicants in April, provides more hours of use-of-force training than some other

academies in the area. In addition to providing additional training, Rasmussen offers its program in the evening to accommodate nontraditional students. When the facility isn’t being used to educate future law enforcement officers, it is used for continuing education opportunities for local agencies.

opportunities. The accredited program’s realistic simulations and instructors attracted Nucci to the program. “They work with us individually and motivate us to do better,� she said. As one of a handful of women in the program, the Chaska resident said she appreciates that female students are treated equally and held to the same standards at Rasmussen as their male counterparts. Nucci, 25, enrolled in Rasmussen’s training program after earning her bachelor’s in law enforcement from Kaplan University. A criminal analyst and investigation assistant for the Carver County Sheriff’s Department, Nucci said she has long held a passion for law enforcement. “I want to put the bad people away, be there for people in need and be a positive role model,� she said. Upon graduating, Nucci said she hopes to become a Carver County deputy. Like Nucci, Trevor Braran, 24, said he believes the program does an excellent job preparing its students for all possible situations. “They look at all scenarios and understand what we might need to use in the real world,� the former Marine said. The Maplewood resident is currently enrolled in Rasmussen’s law enforcement bachelor’s program while attending the training. He said he hopes, upon graduating, to work for the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, where he is an intern.

As law enforcement rookie Angela Nucci responds to a domestic call on Feb. 7 in Eagan, she pulls the boyfriend aside to get his side, while her partner questions his girlfriend. His evasive answers frustrate Nucci and take her questioning a little off course. Her supervisor steps in and asks, “What’s his name?� Nucci hasn’t asked yet. “Whose home is it?� the supervisor asks. She doesn’t know. With a combination of praise and critique, he steers her back on track. Friday’s “domestic call� is one of several realistic simulations in which Nucci and her fellow law enforcement students participate at Rasmussen College’s new law enforcement training facility in Eagan. Aimed at creating a realistic setting, the 8,000-square-foot facility, which opened in early January, is complete with a small furnished apartment, grocery store, bar and bank. Scenery, such as furniture and grocery items, are donated by local businesses. Students are tested from the moment they get the call to respond to a situation. As they approach the site, they must pay close attention to the address on the door.

All instructors are past and present law enforcement officers from local city, county and state agencies with an average of 14 years of experience. Most, including Ardolf, possess a master’s degree. “We look for very highlevel instructors,� said Ardolf, a Bureau of Criminal Apprehension agent with 25 years of law enforcement experience.

Opinion Place public notices where most citizens want to see them Both our nation and state were founded on the principles of self-government, including that the government exists to serve the people, not the other way around. That would suggest that government has an obligation to be as transparent as reasonably possible so that people can make a fair judgment of whether government’s activities are working well or not. One way that the government tells the public about its activities has been by publishing public notices in newspapers. In Minnesota, almost all of these notices are required by law, enacted by legislators who understood the importance of keeping the public informed. School board minutes, county board minutes, government financial reports, bidding requirements, public hearing notices, etc., are all required by state law. With the advent of new technology, most newspapers now publish such notices not only in the paper edition, but on their websites as well. In addition, to encourage use, the Minnesota Newspaper Association is now building a website that includes all such public notices published in any of the state’s newspapers. However, as a cost-cutting move, many local governments are now claiming that it should be sufficient for the government to publish all such notices only on the government’s own websites. The state Senate will be holding a hearing on such a bill, S.F. 1152, in a couple of weeks.

ECM Editorial Will this be good for making the public aware of government activities? Not if the results of a recent poll are any indication. In November and December 2013, Scarborough, a polling company surveyed 1,005 Minnesotans for the Minnesota Newspaper Association, about newspaper readership habits. Among the questions asked in the survey was: “If public notices were placed on government websites or in newspapers, how often do you think you would refer to them?” The polling response was clear: People would read them less if they were only posted on government websites, instead of in newspapers. The response: Newspaper Gov’t Website Usually 14% 6% Sometimes 22% 11% Rarely 35% 34% Never 28% 48% In short, readership would drop by about 20 percent. Survey respondents were also asked, “Do you believe keeping citizens informed by publishing public notices in the newspaper is an important requirement?” Minnesotans delivered an overwhelming verdict — 78 percent said, “Yes” and only 15 percent said “No.”

How important is it to publish public notices in a timely manner? Is it OK to forego notice of a public hearing on a controversial development, or do we really want to keep such information away from the public’s eyes? Will it lead to better government if the government’s activities are only announced on websites rarely visited by the public? Or would it be better to put them somewhere where the public is likely to see them? The Scarborough poll asked this question, “Suppose you could get public notices anywhere. Which way would you prefer?” The response was as follows: Newspaper or its Website 39% Mail 23% Social Media 8% Television 6% Government Website 6% Radio 4% The public prefers to look for public notices where they look for news, and government websites are not viewed by many as news sites. The printed paper also provides a permanent archive of public notices that cannot be manipulated by anyone after the fact, and those notices are being protected by the watchdogs of our government, newspapers. Electronic versions of any type of files can always be manipulated and removed from a website at anytime, for any reason. In order for government to function well, citizens need to know about its activities. Shield such information from

all but the most determined to uncover it, and the result will inevitably be more corruption, less understanding of government, leading to greater frustration among the populace and an undermining of the citizenry’s confidence that the government is working for the common good. Minnesotans want open and accountable government. To have that, we all need to realize that government has an obligation to inform the public of its activities in timely, easily accessible ways. We should not be saying to the 20 or 30 percent of the public which still are not on the Internet that keeping them informed does not matter. Nor should we be saying to the remainder that they have to go to websites where few people ever go. Instead, the government needs to ask itself, how do the people we serve want to receive information about government activities? How can we better serve them and keep them more informed? We have no issue with adding requirements for disseminating public notices to citizens, but see no public benefit from removing such notices from newspapers and other locations already required by law. Urge your legislator today to oppose S.F. 1152. This is an editorial from the ECM Editorial Board. Sun Thisweek and the Dakota County Tribune are part of ECM Publishers Inc.

School critic group ‘Better Ed’ fails fairness test with statistics by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A Minnesota group calling itself “Better Ed” should “know better” than to distribute misleading statistics. Perhaps even worse than the original act of distributing a postcard with inaccurate statistics is an email acknowledgement that these folks know the statistics are not accurate! Here’s the story, along with reactions from a few Minnesota superintendents whose high schools are highlighted on Better Ed’s postcard. Nineteen high schools were named, including Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan and Rosemount. Those high schools were cited on a postcard and in an email that Better Ed distributed with a headline, “They told me I was ready...” and a picture of a youngster who looks sad. The postcard lists statistics from 19 area high schools, titling those statistics “Public High School Graduates Who Need Remedial Classes in College.” The words “Remedial Classes” are in red. The statistics come from a report I’ve written about, “Getting Prepared, 2011.” The University of Minnesota and the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities System produced the study. The Getting Prepared report describes experiences of Minnesota high school students who graduated from high school in 2005-2008 and entered a Minnesota public college or university within two years of graduating and experiences of 2009 Minnesota public high school graduates who entered a Minnesota public college or university within one year of graduation. All public high schools are included, except those that had five or fewer students who took remedial (aka“developmental”) courses. The report as a PDF can be found online at http://bit.ly/1bPf6uk. Better Ed’s mistake is in badly misrepresenting the percentage of “public high school graduates who need remedial classes in college.”

Joe Nathan

Their figures are inaccurate, first, because the Getting Prepared report covers only Minnesota public colleges and universities. So it does not cover the Minnesota private or out-of-state public or private colleges that many Minnesota high school graduates attend. Thus, Better Ed’s postcard is wrong: We don’t know overall how many or what percentage of graduates from these high schools took remedial courses. In addition, the postcard’s report inaccurately describes the percentage of graduates who took remedial courses from each of 19 high schools. For example, the postcard states that 23 percent of Edina’s graduates need to take remedial courses in college. The Getting Prepared report actually says that 8 percent, not 23, of Edina’s graduates took remedial courses at a Minnesota public college or university. The postcard says 41 percent of Minneapolis Southwest High School graduates took remedial courses on entering a Minnesota public college or university. The actual figure for Southwest is 18 percent. Why this huge difference – 23 percent versus 8 percent, 41 percent versus 18 percent? The postcard inaccurately uses figures from the report. So, for example, Getting Prepared found that 2,599 students graduated from Edina High School in 2005-2009. Of those 2,599 students, 892 (34 percent) enrolled in a Minnesota public college or university. Of those 892, 208 (23 percent of 892, not of the 2,599) took one or more remedial courses. But that’s 8 percent of the overall Edina graduate pool (2,599), which is what Better Ed says it is

describing. It is actually 23 percent of the Edina graduates 2005-2009 who entered a Minnesota public college or university and took at least one remedial class. This is the same calculation for all the schools listed. Better Ed’s postcard says it is listing the percentage of “Public High School Graduates Who Need Remedial Classes in College.” No it’s not. The postcard is being distributed both directly through the mail and via email. Better Ed officials declined to tell me how many postcards were mailed. In text below the emailed card, Better Ed Director Daniel J. Lattier wrote, in part, “the percentages only refer to those graduates who attend in-state public colleges and universities.” So he should know this assertion on the postcard is not accurate: “Public High School Graduates Who Need Remedial Classes in College.” Lattier defended Better Ed’s assertions by citing national, not Minnesota, statistics. In a subsequent email responding to questions about the postcard, Lattier wrote, in part: “As you can see in the email we sent out below, we are aware of the nuances of the report. We have a limited amount of space on these postcards, and decided as a staff that the space did not allow for a significant qualification of the numbers.” In a later email, Devin Foley, Better Ed president, wrote in part: “With our postcard we merely joined with the voices of other concerned community leaders, such as the DFL chairs of the Education Finance and Education Policy committees — Paul Marquart and Carlos Mariani — who bemoaned the situation of ‘almost half of our graduates needing to take remedial classes upon entering college.’ This quote appeared in a longer column published last September in the Star Tribune.” The Getting Prepared report showed that 53 percent of students who graduated in 2008 entered a Minnesota public college or university within two years of graduating from high school. Of those

students, 40 percent took one or more remedial courses. So the figures in the Star Tribune column also need clarification. But “two wrongs don’t make a right.” I asked several officials from districts named on the postcard to comment. Mark Parr, director of secondary education for the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District, responded: “We understand that some students will need remediation upon entering a postsecondary institution. We also understand that there are inconsistent reports of what percentages of students require remediation. Our goal is and will always be to prepare students to the best of our ability for college and career readiness. We continuously strive to improve our instructional methods in that regard. We encourage our students to consider enrollment into a post-high school institution as well as encourage them to be as prepared as possible for that kind of rigor.” Ironically, Better Ed’s email also provided a link to a column that I wrote about this report in December for these newspapers. Yes, as I wrote, too many Minnesota high school graduates take remedial courses on entering our public colleges and universities. But it is not nearly as high a percentage of the total number of graduates as Better Ed reports. Better Ed’s use (or, I think, misuse) of the data is another reminder that, as state law requires, the Minnesota Department of Education should produce the report yearly. (The last available report was issued in 2011.) Schools, students and educators deserve accurate descriptions of their accomplishments and problems. Better Ed failed the fairness test.

Eagan likely won’t save old city hall Officials look to house artifacts in new building, or existing city facility Five months after arson destroyed Eagan’s historic town hall, city officials have decided they likely won’t restore the 1914 building. The roof and a wall of the structure were badly damaged in September by a suspicious fire. No arrests have been made. The building is Eagan’s second town hall. The first, built in the 1800s was destroyed by a fire. The Town Hall was used for meetings until 1965.

Most recently, it has been used by the Eagan Historical Society to house historic photos and displays. At a Feb. 11 meeting, City Council members concurred that the city should either replace the old town hall with a new building or create a space within an existing building for historical artifacts. Council members Meg Tilley and Cyndee Fields were absent. No formal action was taken

on the matter. Council members said they would like the new building to create a space to display city artifacts, rather than simply store them. When looking at displaying artifacts in existing buildings, they pointed to the Eagan Community Center and the former fire administration center as possibilities. “It might be worth having conversations to see if there are

opportunities for collaborative sharing of that building,� Council Member Paul Bakken said. “I’m becoming less confident in putting that property to the private market.� Grant money from the state’s Legacy Act program may be available if the space is deemed a museum. — Jessica Harper

Hospital starts fundraising campaign

In an effort to reach uninsured or underinsured people in need of health care coverage, the state awarded Dakota County a grant to encourage and facilitate enrollment into a health insurance plan through MNsure – the state’s health insurance exchange website. As part of the project, Dakota County’s certified MNsure application counselors will partner with nonprofit organizations to help people sign up for health care coverage. These application counselors spend four hours each week at the partner organizations

Fairview Ridges Hospital leaders have announced a $3 million fundraising campaign to support the hospital’s Specialty Care Expansion. “This expansion is critical to Fairview Ridges Hospital’s ability to meet the health care needs of the growing and aging population in our region. This project will help us do just that, but we can’t do it alone,� said hospital President Beth Krehbiel. “That’s why we’re embarking on the hospital’s first major fundraising campaign.� Total cost of the project is estimated at $60 million. The Fairview Foundation hopes to raise $3

helping people navigate the website and explain the options available based on income and other factors. By calling the following organizations, people can sign up for a one-hour appointment with an application counselor: • 360 Communities Burnsville, 952-985-5300. • 360 Communities Rosemount, 651-322-5113 • Hastings Family Service, 651-437-7134. • Neighbors, Inc., South St. Paul, 651-455-5000. • Dakota County Employment and Economic Assistance, West St. Paul, 651-554-5611.

Application counselors can also provide information on other programs and services that might be of interest. In addition to working with the nonprofit organizations, Dakota County Community Services is working with the Dakota County Library, Portico Healthnet and others to hold several library workshops to assist people in applying for health insurance through MNsure.

Farmington Wine Club’s wine tasting Feb. 6 was a date night opportunity for couples (from left) Joel and Liz Parenteau and Becca and Matt Hawkes, all of Farmington. The Farmington Wine Club is supported by Farmington municipal liquors stores as a chance for people to try new and trendy wines without the expense of buying an entire bottle. (Photo by Jennifer Chick) WINE, from 1A year for the Farmington stores and 2014 is starting off strong as well. The Wine Club hosts tastings four times every year with an annual fee of $25 for two participants. Wine Club benefits include free entrance into any wine tasting event, yearlong discounts at Farmington’s two municipal liquor stores, advance invitation to wine tasting events, and notice of special sales and new items. Those who aren’t members pay $3 to get into the wine tasting events. For many who participate, it’s about education and socializing. “It’s a good opportunity to try new wines I maybe wouldn’t try,� said Becca Hawkes of Farmington. She said it made for a unique date night opportunity with husband Matt and friends Joel and Liz Parenteau. Kim Lomas and Cindy Selinder have been going to the Farmington Wine Club events for many years. Before that, Selinder was a member of the Lakeville Wine Club, but when the events got too crowded, she turned to the more intimate gatherings in Farmington. Lo-

mas likes to try the new wines without the expense of buying an entire bottle at the store. Vineyards are making new wine blends that these two friends were eager to try. Wine vendors get a chance to interact with customers, to hear what they like about particular wines and sell them on new wines. Many of the wines showcased at the Farmington Wine Club were red blends or wines with local ties, like those from Cannon River Winery of Cannon Falls. Joe JerLoff, wholesale account manager for Cannon River, kept busy pouring most of the evening. With wines like GoGo Red and Gunflint Red, he was explaining not only the origins of the wine, and but the origins of the names. GoGo was the nickname for the grandma of Cannon River’s owners. The wine is described as soft and fruity with aromas of blackberry jam, raspberry and plum. Selinder was intrigued by the Cannon River Apple Wine, with a unique and crisp taste. “It’s fun to get out and meet everyone,� JerLoff said. “It’s my job to spread

the word about Cannon River. Local wines are starting to get more and more popular. By doing these events, people are trying Minnesota wines.� Minnesota’s cold-hardy vines, which can tolerate winter temperatures as cold as -35 to -45 degrees, are getting a workout this winter. Celts served four hearty winter courses designed to pair well with the wines and beers on display, starting with Irish stew, followed by Beef’N’Bleu, shepherd’s pie, and a cheesecake to finish. The pairing courses were offered for an additional fee of $5. “In the community, we are really trying to support local businesses with cross promotions,� Peterson said. “If I can help Celts, then they can help us. There’s no reason why we shouldn’t work together.� To find out more about the Farmington Wine Club and find out about future wine tastings, visit the city of Farmington’s website, stop by the city’s two municipal liquor stores, or call Peterson at (651) 280-6931. Peterson said another tasting event will be held in the spring.

night.� It wasn’t a unanimous decision with Board Member Julie Singewald voting against the decision to move forward with the new school. “If I am voting on something, to me it means dollars,� Singewald said, “and I want to know what dollars are tied to this, 100 percent. And I’ve asked a number of questions regarding FTEs (full -time equivalent teachers), even estimated, and I get that this is still in process, but I want to make it clear that administratively, if we are going to plan ... when we are voting on something, we are voting on something that is either a policy or has dollars behind it. That’s why I want to make it clear that if I am voting on something tonight, I fully want to understand the impact, and up to this point, I feel like we haven’t gotten all those answers.� She said after the meeting she wasn’t against the concept, but she needed more detailed budget numbers before voting for what will amount to a new school in the district. District administrators have stressed that they plan to keep the new school budget-neutral, using space at the existing District Instructional Services Center and drawing staff from within the district. But with no solid numbers to back up those claims, Singewald voted no.

Board Member Laura Beem voted for the new school, but she also wants to see budget numbers nailed down. “We do need to start to get those parameters around there so that, as a board, we understand what the commitment is and what the risks and the things that we are going to kind of be giving away, and that we understand the capital costs that are going to go into this building,� she said. “This starts to become very important as we are making decisions that are on this list now, that we need to understand the financial impact of those and that we, as a board, are comfortable with that. In case something goes wrong, we need to understand what we committed to.� The 100- to 120-student school will be open to all students in the district, ages 9 to 11, and will take students on a voluntary basis. If more students express interest than there is space, students would be selected by a lotterytype process. The school will be student-centered and feature project-based learning. Students will not be grouped by the traditional grade system, but instead by abilities and interests. The district plans a fall 2014 opening and is posting open positions to current teachers in the district. Information and registration meetings will be held over the next month: 5 p.m. Feb. 18 at Farmington El-

ementary School Media Center; 10 a.m. Feb. 20 at Countryview Community Room; 7 p.m. Feb. 20 at North Trail Elementary School Media Center; 10 a.m. Feb. 27 at Community Education Center at Meadowview Elementary; 5 p.m. March 3 at Akin Road Elementary School Media Center, and 7 p.m. March 3 at Riverview Elementary School Media Center. Information about the new school and an online application form can be found at www.tiny. cc/192NewSchool. Families seeking to enroll students in this new school should complete the application prior to April 1. In other business, Director of Finance Carl Colmark updated the board on the formal budget process for 2014-2015. For the first time in many years, the district is looking at a surplus in the general fund of approximately $200,000 for next year. Much of this can be attributed to an increase in the state education formula and all-day kindergarten numbers, Colmark said, but he stressed that he does not see this surplus continuing into future years. If the board wants to see its unassigned fund balance, which is basically an emergency fund for the district, reach the board recommended level of 6 to 7 percent, instead of the 2.2 percent it sits at now, he recommended the board consider a levy referendum.

FILM, from 1A grade at Scott Highlands Middle School. From there, he said he tinkered around with the art form as much as he could. “When I was a kid, I didn’t think of it as something I could be and a job,� he said. His focus on screenwriting and filmmaking became more clear in high school. Zschunke said broadcast journalism and video production teacher Jim Norris was his biggest mentor. “I used to hang around his office all the time, which was probably annoying,� he said. “I kept working on projects and he drove that passion.� He recalled that Norris’ advice was to make sure a career path was something that you love to do. “He pushed me and kept me in line,� he said. Zschunke said he also couldn’t have done it without the support from his parents, John, a Rosemount Middle School band teacher, and Kim, a secretary at Parkview Elementary School. “They’ve always been

Colin Noel (right) prepares to clap the slate during filming of the actors in a hot tub on the set of “The Polar Club,� a film that is being co-produced by Rosemount High School graduate Ben Zschunke. (Photo submitted) there for me,� he said.

Cool shoot The silly goggles and robe scene wasn’t the only inspiration. “The Polar Bear Club� is a serious look at the lives of four older men who are struggling with the meaning of

their existences and the legacies they want – or will – leave behind. The film follows the men as they have a penchant for jumping in frigid lake waters as a way of maintaining their youthful zest. When one of the four

men dies, the evaluation of the twilight years turns darker. “It’s going to be a little bleak,� Zschunke said of the film. “The main character doesn’t get what he wants in the end.� Still there is comedy laced in the dialogue. Zsc-

hunke describes it in the same vein as one of Minnesota’s other famous exports – movies by St. Louis Park’s Joel and Ethan Coen. “There is humor, but it is subtle,� he said. “It’s more like the Coen brothers’ twisted comedy.� Since Zschunke earned his diploma in 2011 from the University of North Carolina School of Arts, he and Price finished the script, casted actors, secured the assistance of Nashville-based production company Gear Seven Creative and raised enough money to fund the movie’s production through a Kickstarter campaign. “It’s been difficult communicating across the country when you are trying to pull it all together,� said Zschunke, who lives in New Orleans, while director of photography Spencer Goodall and Price live in Los Angeles and North Carolina, respectively. While it may seem natural the three were drawn to the land of 10,000 frozen lakes for a movie that centers around Polar Plunges, there was another important reason. The three sought wintertime shooting in Minnesota to qualify for Snowbate funding. The program attempts to draw

filmmakers to the state in the colder months and reimburses up to 25 percent of qualified Minnesota expenses. The state’s bait for filmmakers aims to inject positive economic benefit to the state as crews seek gas, food and lodging. The men were probably regretting their decision as subzero temperatures gripped the state last week and into this week. “It’s cold,� Zschunke said. “We are all bundled up. The actors have to run across a frozen lake and then get in a hot tub to stay warm.� It was challenging for the actors and crew. Zschunke said the cold didn’t help as he tended to production tasks for sets, props and costumes. When production and editing wraps up, the three hope to have “The Polar Bear Club� entered in several of the nation’s film festivals. “It is pretty competitive, but we know some people who can help us,� he said. As for future film projects, Zschunke isn’t thinking too far ahead. “I kind of want to see what happens after this movie,� he said.

now, I’ll be (in my 60s) and this is a young man’s game.� Bellows said he will keep teaching a master’s degree program part time at Metro State University and a human resource management for criminal justice class at the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.

Looking back Bellows said the years on the job have “gone by in a flash.� As a Lakeville officer, he remembered a car chase in a blizzard that turned into a sprint at Dodd Boulevard and Highview Avenue when the suspect screeched to a halt and ran into an open field. The foot chase lasted over a mile when the suspect dropped to the ground, exhausted. “I almost had to carry him back to the squad car so I could arrest him,� Bellows said. The intersection of I-35 and County Road 50 caused Bellows problems when the search for a reported drunk driver came to him in the form of the suspect performing a slowmotion head-on collision directly into Bellows’ squad. “I start talking to the guy, and he’s obviously drunk,� Bellows said. “He starts accusing me of hitting him.� Three months later, another man in also drove head-on into Bellow’s squad in almost the exact same Lakeville location, although that man had suffered a diabetic shock. “It’s like a magnet there for me to get hit by cars,� he said. Things have been easier on Bellows’ squad at the sheriff’s department, where he said he is proud of the initiatives that have saved money, increased safety and created successful partnerships with other law enforcement agencies in the county. He noted the success of 5530 Full-time or Part-time HIRING: Experienced Hydraulic Cylinder Repair Technician, Lakeville. Email: cylinder8075@ gmail.com / call 612-3143778

the Dakota County Drug Task Force, which has consistently rated in the top three in Minnesota, the county’s united effort to combine call centers to create the Dakota Communications Center, and the countywide prescription medication take-back program, which he said has been “wildly successful.� “We disposed of three tons (of prescription medications) last year,� Bellows said. “We created conveniences. All police departments (in Dakota County) have drop-off locations.� He said the county is always looking for ways to save money, and the recent decision to contract nursing serves in the jail instead of employing nurses has saved taxpayers over $160,000 annually while providing the same level of care. Bellows said he has enjoyed figuring out ways to come up with those kinds of innovations or use of technology to reduce costs. Dakota County has placed mug shots and jail roster lists online, drastically reducing the number of calls from relatives and media requesting information, saving staff time and increasing efficiencies. “I always looked at it as being good stewards of the tax dollar,� he said. Bellows said before his term ends in December, he wants to complete projects underway, including replacing the inmate phone system and overhauling the jail records system, described as a massive project. He said he will miss working with colleagues in the county, but is eager to devote himself to teaching and spending more time with family. “It’s really a most gratifying experience being sheriff in Dakota County,� Bellows said. “I still love doing the job, but you also reach a point when you ask yourself if there’s other things you want to accomplish. The answer is yes.�

Thisweekend Warriors swarm as darkness descends Fantasy is at the fore in Farmington author’s debut novel by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Cruel warlords, marching hordes of barbaric warriors and an epic fight with the powers of darkness color the pages of M.K. Lauren’s fantasy novel “Brethren Through Bloodshed.� Released last fall, the book marks the fiction debut of the 36-year-old Farmington author, who works full-time as a software engineer. “I’ve always been a fan of fantasy — typically that’s all I read, with a little science fiction thrown in here and there,� said Lauren, who’s also a longtime fantasy roleplaying gamer. “Eventu-

M.K. Lauren ally it dawned on me that I’ve got a creative side and decided to try a novel.� He began work on the book 12 years ago, but put the project on the

back burner to devote time to other life pursuits — foremost among them going back to school, getting married and raising three children. Since completing “Brethren Through Bloodshed,� Lauren has begun work on a followup, tentatively “Darkness Surges,� a book he envisions as the second installment in an ongoing fantasy series. The name “M.K. Lauren,� he said, is a pseudonym he adopted for his literary pursuits; he requested his real name not be published with this article. “Brethren Through Amazon.

From early settlers to the Space Age Rosemount history book author featured at Feb. 18 library event by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

In one sense, the groundwork for “Rosemount: From the River to Space,� Maureen Geraghty Bouchard’s history of her hometown, was laid in the author’s childhood. “I consider myself an implant — I was born and raised in St. Paul — but my father and grandfather were born and raised in Rosemount,� said Geraghty Bouchard, a Rosemount Area Historical Society member who’s been a resident of the city for about three decades. “Growing up I spent a lot of time at my grandparents’ house, and I started to learn about the city from the stories my grandfather used to tell.� The book, published last year, started to take shape about four years ago when Geraghty Bouchard, an employee of the Dakota County Historical Society, received a call from Pam Clausen, the daughter of Hap and Betty Hanson, informing the historical society that the Hansons had bequeathed in their will an endowment to the society for publications. Hap Hanson, the first superintendent of School District 196, and Betty Hanson, a longtime librarian, died in 1999 and 1974, respectively. Geraghty Bouchard jumped at the opportunity to write a history of Rosemount, though even now the published author says she doesn’t consider herself a writer. “If my high school

over the years and started collecting new information for the book with interviews and research. The book’s subtitle, “From the River to Space,� was suggested to Geraghty Bouchard by fellow Rosemount Area Historical Society member John Loch. She embraced the phrase, as it gives a nod to the first settlers in the area along the banks of the Mississippi River, as well as the Space Age achievements of the town, among them the production of the heat sensor for the Titan missile. Geraghty Bouchard will be discussing her book at the Robert Trail Library on Tuesday, Feb. 18, as part of the “Meet the Author Series� sponsored by the Rosemount Area Arts Council and the library. The “Meet the Author� event starts at 6:30 p.m. at the library, located at 14395 S. Robert Trail; admission is free. Copies of the book are $32.95. To purchase a book, email rosemount h i s t o r y @ c h a r t e r. n e t . Copies will also be available at the library event.
