As the calendar flips to February, Farmington Area School District students have already missed five days of school due to below-zero temperatures. That has made the district look at new ways to keep their students on track. “I hate to break it to you,� Superintendent Jay Haugen wrote in a letter to

parents last week, “but we are only half-way through winter. As you know, we have already missed five days of school due to the weather, and given the ongoing forecast, there could be more.� Because of that, the district has decided to introduce what it is calling flexible learning days. This is possible, in part, because of the district’s comprehensive digital learning

platform involving iPads for each student in the district. With a flexible learning day, teachers will provide their students with a day of learning that can be done anytime and anywhere. In the letter, Haugen said the opportunities will be customized by age and level. School districts have control of their calendars but must meet minimum attendance requirements

set by the state. Typically, Farmington would need to make up student days by adding to the end of the school year in June, but because of the digital platform, and because of flexibility as a state-designated innovation zone, the district is trying this new approach. Farmington was designated as an innovation zone by the Minnesota Department of Education, which means

Barth. “We wanted to build it back for them it so it was as good as it was before. We think it’s better than it was before.� The firefighters who volunteered their time made quick work of the demolition as the burned and smoke-damaged fixtures, wood and sheetrock were ripped out and flung into a dumpster. “Smoke and soot was in everything,� Barth said. “We cleared out everything, all the interior walls, all the sheetrock, to the solid concrete wall.�

A 39-year-old Roseville woman died just before midnight Monday, Feb. 3, after her family decided to remove her from life support following a Jan. 31 crash in Empire Township. The crash occurred about 7:54 p.m. on County Road 46 near Barbara Avenue. An offduty Hastings firefighter who witnessed the crash started CPR Susanne Elizabeth Preda, who was unconscious and did not have a pulse. She was taken, in critical condition, to Regions Hospital in St. Paul. The firefighter was able to obtain a pulse and doctors stabilized her condition, but she continued to be on life support. The preliminary investigation revealed that the Impala driven by Preda was traveling west on County Road 46 when it abruptly crossed the center line directly in front of a GMC Envoy traveling east on the road. The Envoy struck the Impala in the passenger side rear, caus-

Not long after a fire damaged the south portion of Celts Pub in Rosemount, members of the Rosemount Fire Department showed up to help once again. Many of the same firefighters who responded to the longtime downtown business when a fire started in the early morning hours of Monday, Sept. 9, carried axes and other equipment to help with the needed demolition work before Celts could rebuild. “They wanted their place back,� said owner Brandon

Radio days return Rosemount High School students to stage ‘On the Air’ by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The good old days of radio are back at Rosemount High School with performances of “On the Air� this weekend. The school’s theater and vocal students will take the stage as part of RHS Radio Theater’s one-hour production, for which rehearsals started the first week of January. Not even a handful of missed school days due to cold temperatures from the “polar vortex� could stop these talented students from assembling the comedic and dramatic shorts, along with vocal and instrumental selections. “The 15 students who make up the Radio Theater company this year are some of the finest actors, singers, and musicians that we have at RHS,� said director Thomas Hoffman. He said the missed school days were the big-

gest challenge to the production, but the students’ talent has made up for the lost time. This is the second year for “On the Air.� Hoffman said they decided to produce another show since it is allows performing arts students to experience performance in other venues other than the standard high school plays, musicals or musical revues. “It’s a unique experience,� Hoffman said.

Rosemount High School theater and vocal students perform during a dress rehearsal Tuesday for “On the Air� – a production of RHS Radio Theater. “On the Air� will be staged three times this weekend. (Photo submitted) Another feature of “On the Air� will be its live webcast. A link to the webcast will be at the RHS webpage, RHS Theatre Arts webpage, or on Facebook at Rosemount-HighSchool-Theatre-Arts. Student performers are Justin Blackman, Connor Cruit, Dylan Giles, Jacob Grunklee, Maddie Holtze,

Nicole Hutchinson, Colin Lamoreaux, Ryan Poehler, Audrey Powell, Emma Schneider, Becca Schultz, Claire Shaw, Governess Simpson, George Tangen and Peter Wallin. Main performances will be at 7 p.m. Feb. 7 and 8 and at 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 9. Reserved seating tickets

A recent study found that Farmington could support a 36-room hotel. Farmington does not currently have a competitive hotel within its city limits, and over the years, the city has been approached several times by citizens and potential developers interested in building a hotel there. Farmington City Administrator Dave McKnight said John Seibert of BriMark Builders approached the city about building a mid-scale hotel within Farmington last August. “The council gets asked this question more times than you even know,� McKnight said. After Farmington and BriMark Builders funded a hotel study through Hospitality Consulting Group, it was completed in November 2013. Based on the results of the market study, Hospitality Consulting Group found that a 36-room hotel can be market justified and economically feasible in Farmington. The study said Efficiency Inn is the only lodging property currently operating in Farmington. Constructed in 1950, the study found the 28-room lodging facility with outside entrances and no amenities would not be considered competitive with a new hotel. According to the study, visitors and guests to Farmington must travel five miles to Lakeville or eight miles to Apple Valley

to find hotel accommodations. The study further specified the most marketable hotel would have 34 regular guest rooms and two suites, a meeting room, indoor pool, exercise room, business center, complimentary breakfast and high speed wireless Internet access throughout the hotel. The study found that the five competitive hotels in the area achieved an overall annual occupancy rate of 61 percent, and for the first nine months of 2013, demand was up 4 percent over the same period in 2012. According to the study, Farmington’s population has increased by 71 percent over the last decade, with a projected population of 27,000 by 2020. Major commercial employers in the community are the Minneapolis Air Traffic Control Center and a Kemps Dairy Products processing plant. BriMark has helped build hotels in Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. BriMark is associated with Cobblestone Hotels, a rapidly growing chain of upper mid-market lodging facilities designed to function in smaller communities. The study indicates amenities at Cobblestone Hotels include a beer and wine bar off the lobby, indoor pool, fitness room, high speed wireless Internet, business center, guest laundry, convenience store, and free hot breakfast.

Opinion Lewis House helps end the cycle of domestic violence by Ann Averill SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

When a survivor leaves an abusive relationship, transitioning to a safe and healthy future is not easy. This difficult task requires a stabilizing support system to be successful. 360 Communities Lewis House provides the safe shelter, counseling and resources women and children need to build a violence-free future. When I met Rita and her two boys, Stephen, 8, and Christian, 9, (all names have been changed for this story), it was clear that the abuse they had suffered had taken its toll. Hank, Rita’s boyfriend, was a heavy drinker and would beat her regularly for things as trivial as forgetting to bring home something he wanted from the store. Hank was not the boys’ father, but was the only father figure they knew. Hank would abuse and demean Rita in front of the boys and would tell her that she was a bad mom. She believed him. It didn’t take long for Stephen and Christian to begin treating Rita the way Hank did. After one violent outburst, Hank was arrested and Rita left with the boys. The court issued a no contact order, which he quickly violated. Rita, scared for her family’s safety, called our crisis line to talk with an advocate. When the family arrived at the Lewis House, Rita was overcome with depression. Sometimes it was hard for her to get out of bed and feed her children in the morning. After regular meetings with our therapist and advocates, it didn’t take her long to look at her situation more positively, even though she knew she had

Guest Columnist

Ann Averill a long road ahead of her. However, Rita’s boys were out of control. The boys would run around the house swearing and calling everyone, including their mother, horrible names, they would hit when they got upset, and they would tell people they hated them. Stephen and Christian also had trouble in school and their grades were slipping. The problems the boys were experiencing were not surprising, given their circumstances. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reports that children who experience domestic violence are more likely to exhibit a broad range of problems, from behavioral issues to difficulties with cognitive development and social skills. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, the strongest risk factor of perpetuating domestic violence from one generation to the next, is when children witness violence between their parents or guardians. “Boys who witness domestic violence are twice as likely to abuse their own partners when they become adults,” they report. At Lewis House, we know the damage can be repaired. Children are resilient, and at our shelters, we are able to provide

resources and experiences to help them heal and thrive. Jack, a Lewis House volunteer, came a few times a week to hang out with Stephen and Christian. Jack helped with homework, took the boys fishing, played games, worked on puzzles, and read stories with them. Jack was the first positive male role model in their lives. After working with Jack, their grades started to improve as well as their behavior in school and at home. Stephen and Christian also participated in our Children’s Support Group, where they learned and developed strategies to handle frustrations, anger, and conflict in a healthy way. Rita also benefited from the Lewis House Women’s Support Group and as well as one-on-one counseling. Rita was relieved to hear other parents have similar challenges with their children. She developed her own sense of self-worth and implemented positive parenting strategies. Eventually, Rita didn’t need to come to our staff as often with her frustrations with the boys. Building up her confidence and her parenting skills were critical to promoting her self-sufficiency. After months of hard work, Rita was accepted into a long-term supportive housing program. She had a smile on her face that lasted for the rest of her stay at the Lewis House. Rita regularly checks in with Lewis House staff and continues to succeed. She feels safe, and hasn’t thought about going back to her abuser. Rita is currently enrolled in school and is pursuing a degree in Social Work. She said that after working with advocates at

the Lewis House, she is motivated to help others in a similar way. She also says the change in the boys’ behavior is definitely noticeable. They show her more respect and love than before, and are getting good grades in school. Rita emphasizes that they wouldn’t be where they are today if it weren’t for the help they received at Lewis House. Our 29th annual Domestic Abuse Awareness Luncheon will be held n Feb. 7. Elected officials, law enforcement and concerned community members will gather at Brackett’s Crossing in Lakeville to say “no more” to violence in all forms. Our guest speaker, actor and advocate Peter Hermann will talk about his Joyful Heart Foundation and how it is spearheading the NO MORE campaign. NO MORE seeks to spark national conversation and awareness about domestic violence and sexual assault. 360 Communities is proud to be a local ally of the NO MORE campaign. You can help the cause by getting involved. To donate to 360 Communities, or to volunteer at one of our Lewis House locations, please visit 360Communities.org. To learn more about NO MORE, visit NOMORE.org. Ann Averill is supervisor of 360 Communities Lewis House in Hastings. 360 Communities is a nonprofit that provides hope and support for people by engaging communities to prevent violence, ensure school success and promote long-term self-sufficiency.

Survey shows continued popularity of newspapers by Don Heinzman SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Minnesota newspapers and their websites are valued for their readership and advertising results, according to a survey hot off the press. Results of a survey, conducted by Scarborough researchers for the Minnesota Newspaper Association, show that in almost every category of news and buying decisions, newspapers and their websites are the first choice for information. While it’s true that younger readers get information from smartphones, apps and social media, those readers 35 years and older overwhelmingly prefer newspapers in just about every news and advertising category, survey results show. The researchers found that newspapers and their websites during a typical month reach 89 percent of the state’s residents and 78 percent in an average week. The weekly community newspapers have 51 percent readership, mirroring the 49 percent of Sunday readership. Taking

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Don Heinzman results of community, Sunday and weekday readership together, the net print readership is 71 percent. Responses in the survey showed newspaper advertising is valued: More than two-thirds (69 percent) of Minnesotans surveyed said newspaper advertising is important. These numbers are meaningful because they torpedo the beliefs that newspaper advertising is going out of style. Consider these other findings from the survey. Coupons are used by 74 percent, with 55 percent of respondents saying they most likely get them from newspapers. The biggest eye-opener in the survey is the high ranking of newspapers on

consumer purchases. For example, 59 percent bought home improvement merchandise, and of that percentage, 92 percent say they were reached by Minnesota newspapers. More than half (56 percent) bought lawn and garden equipment, with 93 percent saying they were reached by newspapers. In every purchase category – new and used vehicles, furniture and real estate sales – the reach of newspapers was over 90 percent. Newspapers are preferred as the source for all those glossy inserts. The newspaper is the preferred source by far for useful information about community schools, high school sports, things to do, local crime news, making voting decisions and local government news. ECM Publishers prides itself in publishing more local community news than any other media company in the state because the leadership believes news closest to you matters and adds to your quality of life. Readership surveys show that you

read and depend on your weekly community newspaper and its website for information and analysis more than any other source. Of course, some say this is all selfserving information from a survey conducted for the MNA. And you might say that you can do anything with figures. You need to know that 1,005 adults were surveyed by telephone in 12-minute English language interviews. The survey included 800 random-digit-dial interviews, 150 cellphone interviews and 50 oversamples (that is, additional interviews of a subgroup for more reliable data) with residents 18-34. I began by saying newspaper readership and advertising results are better than you’ve been led to believe. I just thought you’d like to know there is another side to the story, and we intend to tell it. The numbers are on our side. Don Heinzman is a columnist for ECM Publishers.

Letters Changes to park are unacceptable To the editor: Two Dakota County Parks that have numerous hills and some steep terrain are planned to have 5 percent grade and 10- to 20-foot-wide bike trails. The natural terrain within Spring Lake Park Reserve and Lebanon Hills Regional Park is far from the 5 percent grade that is required for the trails planned by the Dakota County Parks and seven county commissioners. The cost of constructing retaining walls, bridges, tunnels, and overpasses along with the trails are in the multi millions. These planned trails are quite invasive to the variety of wildlife, trees, river and lakes within both of these parks. I do not feel the majority of the public wants

this type of spending and destruction of two beautiful and rare parks that make Dakota County special. The Dakota County slogan “Forever Wild” will be extremely false if the natural beauty of these parks are destroyed by paved trails, according to this proposed plan. If there is a true need for new bike trails, please consider construction along main roads and around not through these parks. Keep pavement near existing pavement, save millions of dollars and leave the wild and natural peaceful and “Forever Wild.”

Wood smoke hazards deserve airing To the editor: The Dave Granlund cartoon, “Some of us needed a little more convincing…” in the Jan. 31 edition commemorating the 50th anniversary of cigarette health warnings was spot on. The same can be said about wood smoke: Some of us still need a little more convincing. And, I couldn’t help but notice the irony of the cartoon’s position next to

yet another article about the controversy swirling around the plans at Lebanon Hills Regional Park where they have an event planned for Feb. 8 at which nine bonfires will be burning throughout the evening. While people can no longer smoke tobacco in Minnesota indoor establishments and in many parks, there is virtually no protection from wood smoke which contains hundreds of the same toxic chemicals and fine particulates as tobacco smoke. Wood smoke is, in fact, more concentrated, travels farther and remains chemically active in the body up to 40 times longer. It is time that wood smoke is recognized as a physical barrier to the use and enjoyment of public

spaces for many people with disabilities such as asthma, COPD, cardiac disease, and diabetes. The South Coast Air Quality Management District in Southern California has found that the particulate emissions rate per minute from one beach bonfire is equal to that from the secondhand smoke from 800 cigarettes. So while the debate continues about whether or not new trails are needed and whether or not they should be paved, we should also be asking ourselves if everyone can breathe the air in and around the park.

Thompson selects Ham Lake senator as running mate by Mandy Moran Froemming and Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

State Sen. and Republican candidate for governor Dave Thompson, R-Lakeville, said last week he had selected Sen. Michelle Benson, R-Ham Lake, as his running mate. Both suburban senators were first elected in 2010 and re-elected in 2012 in what are regarded as strong Republican districts. Benson serves District 31, which includes Ham Lake, Andover and surrounding cities and townships to the north. She serves as the assistant minority leader and is a ranking

Dave Michelle Thompson Benson minority member of the Health, Human Services and Housing Committee. “In her short time in the Minnesota Senate, Michelle has risen to a leadership position through her strong work ethic and her desire to bring conservative reforms to Minnesota,� Thompson said in his announcement

Thursday, Jan. 30. Thompson said he and Benson would partner to enact strong conservative policies for Minnesota. He listed spending, tax and regulatory policy and education among his special concerns. Thompson has asked Benson to partner with him in reforming Minnesota’s health care system. Benson announced she and Thompson intend to introduce bills this legislative session to change the structure of the MNsure Board and strengthen the role of the Legislative Oversight Committee. Thompson previously said he would abide by the Republican

endorsement process, which had an unofficial start Tuesday with preference polls during caucus night. Other Republicans seeking the GOP nod are former House leaders Marty Seifert, of Marshall, and Kurt Zellers, of Maple Grove; Wayzata businessman Scott Honour; and Hennepin County Commissioner Jeff Johnson. Benson is a longtime resident of Ham Lake and is a certified public accountant with a master of business administration degree from the University of St. Thomas. Other committee assignments in the Senate include the Energy, Agriculture and

Government Reform and Redesign committees. A small business lawyer, Thompson hosted the The Dave Thompson Show for 7 1/2 years. The radio talk show aired on KSTP in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. Thompson’s show promoted generally conservative views. This past session, Thompson served the Minnesota Senate on the Education Committee, State and Local Government Committee, Taxes Committee and Tax Reform Division as the ranking minority member.

Opinion LETTERS, from 4A

It’s not too late for Lebanon Hills redo To the editor: It seems that the Dakota County Parks director and the Dakota County planning supervisor are more concerned with meeting the expectations of the county commissioners than of the people who use the parks. I do not understand why there is not a user group involved in updating the master plan for Lebanon Hills Regional Park. The proposed plan was created without such citizen involvement. It directly conflicts with the planning done in 2001 when the government and citizens worked together. I live on the border of Lebanon Hills. I feel passionate about the park and the use of the park. Please allow citizens to

be involved so that the final plan does have public support. Please direct the staff to involve a citizen group in creating the plan. SARAH SORIANO Eagan

Earth is doing its thing To the editor: Global warming or no global warming? Climate change or no climate change? Depends on who you listen to. In watching programs on “History� several years ago, this old Earth has done its thing preand post-dinosaurs. And, humans, factories, cars, etc., weren’t around then. What caused it? There have been five times in the Earth’s history when it was covered with a very thick cover of ice. Greenland used to be that – green, inhabited,

along with lots of other winter enthusiasts. With so many riders using the trails, they become pretty chewed up by the end of the weekend, but the Sno-Trackers and surrounding trail associations have groomers and volunteer drivers to smooth them back out during the week. The vast majority of the riders obey the laws and respect the landowner’s properties, and I want to thank them for that. But it saddens me to see evidence of a few people who don’t. Riding off the trails, on sidewalks, and across private property is trespassing, and is not only illegal, but makes us all look bad to the non-snowmobiling public. We work hard with local landowners so everyone can enjoy trails in and around Lakeville that connect to surrounding communities and want to enjoy this great winter sport for years to come.

Education Briefs District 196 expanding preschool offerings District 196 is expanding its half-day preschool offerings for 3- and 4-year-old children who live in the district through the new District 196 Connections Preschool program. Families will have a wider range of program offerings and locations to choose from, beginning with fall 2014 classes. “Previously, we had a mix of programs with different names, formats and registration processes,� explained Karen Kellar, Early Childhood Family Education/School Readiness manager. “In order to be as family friendly as possible, we have combined all our programs for 3- and 4-year-olds into Connections Preschool, with consistent curriculum, a common registration process and more financial assistance for families in need.� Key features of District 196 Connections Preschool include: Both morning and afternoon opportunities; seven different locations in the district; financial assistance available at all locations; consistent curriculum focused on meeting state and district learning standards, aligned with the Minnesota Early Childhood Indicators of Progress; licensed early childhood teachers; and five school-based options for 4-year-olds at no cost to families who meet certain requirements. “We are especially pleased to be able to expand our no-cost, school-based options with free transportation,� said Director of Elementary Education Julie Olson. “These will help boost the school readiness of students who may need more support due to financial, language, development or other factors.� The school-based programs are targeted for 4-year-olds in the Cedar Park, Echo Park, Greenleaf, Oak Ridge and Westview elementary schools’ attendance areas. In District 196 Connections Preschool, all children experience learning to work and play

with other children; prekindergarten skills in reading, writing and math; group settings; and routines and expectations.

Wedding & Bridal 2014 Marrying in Dakota County by the numbers More than 2,000 marriage licenses were purchased in the county the past two years Weddings are a big deal in Dakota County. In 2013, 2,411 marriage licenses were purchased in the county, up from the 2012 total of 2,386. While not all of the people who purchased marriage licenses in the county were married here, it’s likely that close to that number of wedding ceremonies were held in area churches and other venues in the past year. Based on those numbers, there could be close to 40 weddings conducted every weekend in Dakota County. However, there’s a wedding season in Minnesota that roughly corresponds with the good weather seasons, so most weddings are held in spring, summer and fall. With that in mind, prime sites for wedding receptions and ceremonies fill up fast in Dakota County as competition, based on the numbers, is great. These days, many wedding ceremonies and receptions are planned about a year in advance.

Such a hall likely won’t need any additional decorations, while a banquet hall that’s unadorned and lacks embellishments will, and those decorations can dip into a couple’s overall wedding budget. Compare the costs of the more decorated banquet hall with the one that’s more plain in appearance, factoring in the cost to decorate the latter, and you might just realize the one with more aesthetic appeal is more affordable in the long run. • Prioritize privacy. Few couples would be open to strangers having easy access to their wedding reception. When shopping for a banquet hall, look for one that gives you and your guests all the privacy you need. Many couples have taken to hosting the entire ceremony at a hotel, which may handle the bulk of the planning and remove the hassle of transportation for outof-town guests. However, couples considering a hotel should look for one that can promise privacy from other guests at the hotel who aren’t there for the wedding. The reception room should be secluded from the rest of the hotel so other guests walking by aren’t tempted to walk in on the festivities.

Farmington family seeks support for event After nearly five years in remission, 31-year-old Scott Matter returns to grueling chemotherapy regimens for grade II astrocytoma brain tumors. “Grey Matters� fundraising benefit will be held from 5-9 p.m. Saturday, March 1, at the Farmington Lanes Bowling Alley. The color grey represents awareness for brain cancer. The family is asking for establishments to

support this event by donating gift cards or products before Feb. 21. Scott’s parents, Tom and Sue Matter, have lived in Farmington for decades and have been local business owners for over 20 years, founding C&S Hand Bindery in 1993. The family has supported several community events as the city has progressed and developed. Now they are seeking the help of

the community they serve, for their son, in support of his continuing battle with brain cancer, their daughter-in-law and their 1-year-old granddaughter. For more information on Grey Matters and Scott’s fight, visit scottmatter.com. For sponsorships or donations for the event, call Sue Matter at 651-402-9991 by Feb. 21.

Sports Tigers: 13 and counting

Irish gymnasts looking to end state drought Rosemount also seeking second straight SSC title by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

our full lineup for the first five or six meets because of injuries and some other concerns,” Passeri said. “First, we were missing Abby Nelson. Then we were missing Kailey Askew. Then we were missing other kids. “But we thought we’d be good once we got everybody back because these girls always work hard and they’ve added a lot of skill since last year.” Indicative of the Irish’s depth was sophomore Meghan Creese’s performance against ninthranked Lakeville North. Creese did not compete all-around for Rosemount but won two individual events, scoring 9.5 on both vault and balance beam. Rosemount’s top three all-arounders took the top three places against North. Eighth-grader Josie Schlie scored 37.65, eighth-grader Shannon McCoy had 37.15 and Nelson, a sophomore, scored 35.775. Schlie also won floor exercise and uneven bars. Her 9.7 on floor was the fifth time she had 9.7 or higher in that event all season. The depth has helped raise the level of performance in practices, Passeri said. If one of Rosemount’s varsity gymnasts performs an advanced skill, it’s not long before one of the younger gymnasts asks to learn it, the coach said. Many of the Irish gymnasts came up through the Rosemount youth program that Passeri also runs but not all of them are full-time gymnasts. “We have a lot of twoand three-sport athletes,” he said. That group includes junior Rachel Schow, who won two hurdles races at the state Class AA track and field meet last spring. “We usually don’t come into a season with a lot of off-season training,” Passeri said. “But in those eight weeks we can work with them in the summer, they learned a lot of new skills.”

Rosemount’s gymnastics team has jumped at the chance to rewrite history. Before last year, the Irish had not won a conference championship in Jason Passeri’s tenure as head coach, which started in the 1997-98 season. If Rosemount wins its meet at Apple Valley at 6 p.m. Thursday, the team would go through the South Suburban Conference undefeated. The Irish already have clinched a tie for the title, which would be their second in a row. They also are likely to be favored in the Section 3AA meet Feb. 14 at Eagan High School. The Irish, fifth in the state Class AA rankings, are the highest-ranked Section 3 team. East Ridge (10th in the state rankings) and Park of Cottage Grove (13th) are expected to be among the contenders at the section meet. “We haven’t seen East Ridge yet this season, and you’re never sure about the rankings until you’re in the same gym and you’re going against each other,” Passeri said. Rosemount also wants to qualify as a team for the state meet, something the program has not accomplished since 1993 (the Irish also went to state in 1987). “We’ve had some good teams recently, but we always ran into a really good team at the section meet,” Passeri said. This year the Irish have a team that is talented and deep. In a Jan. 28 meet against Lakeville North – where Rosemount scored a season-high 146.825 points – 14 of the 16 individual scores that counted toward the team total were 9.0 or higher. The only meet the Irish didn’t win this season was the Park Invite, a 10-team meet where they finished Email Mike Shaughnessy at second to No. 2-ranked mike.shaughnessy@ecmRoseville. inc.com. “We didn’t really have

Tigers trying to get back in winning routine Boys hoops offense slowed in two losses to Shakopee by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

On one hand, back-toback losses to Shakopee will be tough to recover from if Farmington is going to get back in the Missota Conference boys basketball race. On the other hand, playing in the Missota should help prepare the Tigers for what’s coming in a few weeks – namely, the section playoffs. “The Missota doesn’t get the attention of some of the other conferences in the metro area, but it’s a really good league this year,” Farmington coach Shane Wyandt said. “The four (Class) 4A schools in the conference – Chaska,

Chanhassen, Shakopee and us – can play with a lot of teams, and there are some very good 3A schools that are going to contend for section championships.” Not that the Tigers needed any convincing about the Missota’s strength, but three recent losses – one to Chanhassen and two to Shakopee – helped prove Wyandt’s point. Farmington went from contending for the conference title to being four games behind firstplace Shakopee with six to play. “Yeah, last week was very disappointing for us,” Wyandt said. “We had hoped to pull even with Shakopee and now first place is probably Shakopee’s to lose. “The kids also wanted to be a No. 1 seed in their section. That’s probably going to be Lakeville

North now, but we think we still can be the No. 2 seed.” In their final six games, the Tigers (14-6 overall, 4-4 Missota) will try to recapture the form they showed in winning 14 of their first 17 games. Getting the roster healthy will help. Injuries and illnesses have been a problem, although Wyandt said he believes the worst of that is over. Farmington also will try to rediscover its offensive flow. The Tigers, a team capable of putting up big numbers, scored only 29 and 50 points in two losses to Shakopee last week. The Tigers shot 24 percent in a 54-29 loss to Shakopee on Jan. 28. Wyandt said the Tigers played a good second half in the rematch three days later, but they couldn’t overcome a halftime defi-

cit and lost 62-50. When healthy and running at full efficiency, the Tigers can display some offensive balance. Five players average seven points or more per game, with junior guard Zach Speikers leading the team with a 19.4 average. Speikers has scored more than 30 points five times this season. Senior forward Eli Rockett averages 13.3 points, and Mac Bassett (9.2), Nick Varner (8.2) and Johnny Dittman (7.2) also are offensive contributors. The Tigers played Chaska on Wednesday in a Missota game that took place after this edition went to press. Farmington was seeking to avenge a 94-80 loss to the Hawks on Jan. 7. Farmington’s next game is at Red Wing on Friday.

Skiers grab spots in state Alpine meet Kavanaugh, Lindsay are runners-up by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Skiers from Burnsville, Eastview, Apple Valley and Lakeville North qualified for the state Alpine meet via Tuesday’s Section 6 competition at Buck Hill. Lakeville North also will send its girls team after finishing second to Mankato West. North senior Courtney Kavanaugh helped lead her team to the state meet by finishing second in the Section 6 meet with a tworun time of 47.68 seconds. It will be a return to state for Kavanaugh, who qualified individually in 2013. Kate Hanson of Rochester Century won the section girls individual championship in 45.65. Bailey Servais of Lakeville North was fifth in 48.39. Kathryn Kossack also was among the top 20 individuals, finishing 16th in 51.01. Emily Ray was 31st in 56.04, Anna Konietzko placed 41st in 59.70 and Hoiland Taylor was 52nd in 1:02.51.

Section champion Mankato West is the other state-qualifying team from the Section 6 meet. Burnsville was fifth in the girls team standings Also qualifying were the top 10 girls finishers who don’t ski for Mankato West or Lakeville North. That group includes Eastview’s Claire Hefko, who finished sixth in 48.48, and Burnsville senior Liz Drusch, seventh in 48.63. This will be Drusch’s third consecutive trip to the state meet. Edina and Chanhassen earned the top two spots in the Section 6 boys competition. Eastview and Apple Valley were fifth and sixth, and Burnsville also was in the top 10, placing ninth. Burnsville’s Jack Lindsay tied for second in the individual competition in 43.31 and is one of two skiers from the Blaze boys team to qualify for state. The other is junior Jon Garbe, who will go to state for the second consecutive year after finishing eighth in 44.57 at the section meet. Others qualifying individually for the boys state meet include Eastview’s Luke Doolittle, fifth in 43.87; Apple Valley’s

Robert Hapke, seventh in 44.18; Matt Xi of Lakeville North, 10th in 44.72; Liam Tyler of Apple Valley, 14th in 45.51; and Croix Turner of Apple Valley, 15th in 45.61. Rosemount’s Aaron Ahlberg finished 18th overall and missed a place at state by one-tenth of a second. Louis Nguyen of Chanhassen completed two runs in 41.46 to win the boys individual title. Edina’s Spencer Knack tied Lindsay for second place. The state meet is Wednesday, Feb. 12, at Giants Ridge in Biwabik, with runs scheduled for 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Eagan High School teams competed in the Section 4 at Wild Mountain on Feb. 5, after this edition went to press. Among the Wildcats seeking spots in the state meet were Tommy Anderson for the boys team and Sally Anderson for the girls. Both were top-10 finishers at the 2013 state meet.

Three local teams going to state Nordic by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Eagan boys, Eastview girls and Burnsville girls all were favorites going into their section Nordic skiing meets Tuesday – and lived up to the expectations as all won section championships. Eagan won the Section 1 boys championship Tuesday at Valleywood Golf Course, while Eastview took the girls title, marking the first time an Eastview team has qualified for the state Nordic meet. Burnsville qualified for the state girls meet for the third consecutive year by winning the Section 3 championship at Theodore Wirth Park in Minneapolis.

Section 1 Eagan senior Josh Podpeskar won the boys pursuit race, consisting of a 5-kilometer classic leg and a 5K freestyle leg. He had the fastest time for both halves of the race, and his overall time was 30 minutes, 23 seconds. He won by 33 seconds. Senior Jacob Edmond (third, 31:09) and ninthgrader Patrick Acton (seventh, 32:14) also finished in the top 10 for Eagan. Acton was the only skier among the top 17 individuals who wasn’t a junior or senior. Eagan senior Brady Mavetz was 14th in 32:49.

Also advancing to state for the Wildcats are junior Chris Acton (27th, 35:44), ninth-grader Ryan Conroy (33rd, 36:52) and ninthgrader Ryan Steger (41st, 37:29). The top eight individual finishers who are not Eagan skiers also qualified for state. That group includes Lakeville South senior Mitchell Miller (eighth, 32:16) and Apple Valley senior Rhett Carlson (ninth, 32:20). Eagan scored 380 points and won the section championship by 11 over Winona/Winona Cotter. Lakeville South was third with 343. Apple Valley was fifth with 304, Lakeville North was eighth with 244, Rosemount was 10th with 209 and Eastview finished 13th with 77. Eastview sophomore Margie Freed was girls pursuit champion in 35:04, more than one minute ahead of the runnerup. She returns to the state meet after finishing 37th a year ago. The difference this year is Freed will compete at state with her team. Three Eastview girls finished in the top five and four were in the top nine as the Lightning won by almost 40 points over Winona/ Winona Cotter. Eastview senior Kaley Hedberg was fourth in 37:57 and sophomore Annika Martell finished fifth in 38:04. Kylie Kraemer, a

sophomore, finished ninth in 38:54. Indicative of the Lightning’s strength at the section girls meet was that Eastview skiers Sydney Hedberg and Lauren Herland were the only individuals in the top 25 whose finishes did not count toward their team’s total. Hedberg was 14th in 40:18 and Herland was 24th in 42:26. Also going to state for Eastview is Elena Dawson, who was 30th in the section meet in 44:24. Qualifying individually for state were Lakeville North sophomore Molly Wilson (10th, 38:56) and Lakeville South senior Carley Endersbe (11th, 38:59). Burnsville senior Vivian Hett apparently wasn’t jet-lagged after competing in an international meet in Finland last week. The Blaze girls won the South Suburban Conference championship while she was gone and once Hett returned, there was no touching them in the Section 3 meet. Burnsville finished 28 points ahead of runner-up St. Paul Highland Park in the 12-team Section 3 girls meet. Hett, the state’s topranked skier this season and the state individual runner-up last year, won the pursuit championship by more than three minutes, finishing in 33:44.

Skybound Fitness to have grand opening

Leprechaun Days group to meet Monday, Feb. 10 The Rosemount Leprechaun Days Committee will be meeting throughout the year to plan the 2014 event, which will be held from Friday, July 18, to Sunday, July 27, in several locations throughout the city. The event, which is expected to include about 60 separate activities, has an all-volunteer planning committee that meets at 7 p.m. in Room 210 at the Rosemount Community Center on the following Mondays: Feb. 10, March 10, April 14, May 12 and June 9. Additional meetings may be scheduled as needed. The committee is always looking for new members to assist in all phases of planning. Typically people can gravitate to an area of interest, such assisting with the parade, Midsummer Faire carnival, promotions, event logistics and much more. Businesses and community groups are welcome to plan an event to add to the fun. Among the businesses and community groups that planned events last year were the American Legion, Celts, Rosemount Area Arts Council, Dakota County Library System, the Velvet Tones, Rosemount Community Band, Cub Foods and Rosemount Parks and Recreation. For events to be included in promotional materials, groups need to fill out an event registration form at the Leprechaun Days website. Those forms are still being updated for 2014. Look for a future story in this newspaper about registering an event, for a parade float or for a booth at the Midsummer Faire. Rosemount Leprechaun Days also accepts donations to help defray costs to organize the events. In the past, donors have been recognized in promotional materials that aim to reach thousands of Rosemount area residents. Go to the website www.RosemountEvents. com for more information or call Leprechaun Days Committee President Diane Wellman at (651) 322-1442. SNOW DAY, from 1A district will record this as a regular school day since they will be assigned projects to complete at home, or wherever they may be over that weekend. “We do want the state to recognize this because it is an actual school day,� Haugen said. “As an innovation zone, this is exactly the type of thing we are trying out.� “A successful trial

Skybound Fitness, which owner Jon Reicherts says is a trendy new gym with a cult-like following, will hold a open house from noon to 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 16. Residents are invited to tour the studio at 15225 Carrousel Way, southwest of the intersection of County Road 42 and Highway 3.

“I started this business as an alternative to big box gyms, believing you can get great results by fostering a community of clients that hold each other accountable and provide a safe welcoming atmosphere for all fitness levels,� Reicherts said. The event will feature prizes, free healthy food and

a chance to meet Skybound’s trainers. The 1,200-square-foot studio provides group fitness classes at rates that are affordable, according to Reicherts, as less traditional equipment is used like tires, ropes, medicine balls, kettlebells, and more. Reicherts said classes

such as Boot Camp, Yoga, Zumba, and Kettlebell makes Skybound an appealing option for those looking for variety. For more information, call 612-234-1759 or log onto www.skyboundfitness. com.

Business Briefs WomEn’s Conference The Dakota County Regional Chamber of Commerce will host the fourth annual WomEn’s Conference from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday, March 13, at the Lost Spur Golf and Event Center in Eagan.

would mean that we could provide this opportunity for a whole host of situations, including some portion of the remaining days lost to inclement weather,� Haugen wrote in the letter to parents. On Jan. 28, when students were out of school for their fifth weather-related closing, Farmington teachers attended school to talk about how flexible learning could occur with their students.

“It’s things that teachers have wanted to do for awhile, but they didn’t have the time or the people to do that,� said Dan Pickens, Farmington’s head of instructional technology. He said flexible learning could include Google Hangout opportunities to discuss class projects or extra assignments that encompass multiple subject areas into one project. A recent survey by the district found that 95 percent

Dakota Electric is one of three Great River Energy cooperatives selected to participate in the RMI study to be conducted throughout 2014. The study will examine pricing and business models, providing an analysis of these factors to determine the best way all parties can benefit from solar installations. The goal is to develop a working model that can be expanded to other utilities around the country. The study is expected to conclude later this year.

of students have Wi-Fi availability at home. Students from middle school through high school have their own iPads, which they bring home every day. Fourthand fifth-grade students also bring iPads home. The younger students leave their iPads at school, but Pickens said there would be opportunities for those students to bring their iPads home over the weekend as they work on

these flexible learning opportunities. Also, he said all of the flexible learning does not have to be digital. “We’re wanting this to be flexible too with what the teachers want to do as long as they are rich learning experiences,� Pickens said. Currently, the district uses Schoology, a digital learning management system through a website where teachers create courses on that website.

Teachers can also use Google Apps for Education. Pickens thinks the possibilities are endless as the district digs deeper into what flexible learning can mean. “We’ve missed five learning days, and these kids need to continue to learn,� Pickens said. “We need to continue even if the weather is bad.�

Staying active and strong is key — along with making home environments as safe as possible. For more info on senior fitness and home safety, visit orthoinfo.org and nata.org.

DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE February 6, 2014

CELTS, from 1A In honor of the work the firefighters did on Sept. 9 and afterward, the Rosemount Fire Station is represented on the interior of the renovated bar and grill. A hose signed by many firefighters is in a case that is part of a streetscape reminiscent of many of Ireland’s roadways. In addition to the fire station, there’s the police station, a bank and depictions of second-floor apartments above the bar. “We took what was outside and brought it inside,� said Barth, who is an Irish descendant from the O’Connell clan and traveled throughout Ireland on an 11-day trip in 2001. “It makes it unique,� Barth said. “It gives you that taste of Ireland.� While many Irish pubs have lots of wood and booths that are more like nooks, the new Celts is more open, airy and inviting. The rebuild also came with some upgrades.

CRASH, from 1A ing the vehicle to spin out of control and into the south ditch. After impact, the Envoy remained in the traffic lane. The three people in the Envoy were found to be conscious and breathing; they reported minor injuries. The driver and one passenger from the Envoy were taken to Regions Hospital, where they received treatment. The crash remains under investigation, and the Ramsey County Medical Examiner is conducting an autopsy. The Dakota County Sheriff’s Office reports this is the first fatal crash of 2014.

Another feature of the renovated south portion of Celts Pub is a door with the Rosemount Police Department’s official patch encased on it. (Photo by Tad Johnson) Kitchen modifications mean it will more efficiently be able to handle lunch and dinner rushes, plus there were improvements to the restrooms. Rosemount manager Justin Lecher said the idea of the streetscape was something that seemed right. The chance to incorporate bold colors appealed to them and blended well

with the mural that Lecher, who studied graphic design at the University of Minnesota, originally painted 12 years ago when Celts first opened. Since the mural of Cashel Castle was covered in a sealant, it was one of the mainstays that were preserved after the fire. The other two of note were the sanded and refinished bar top and a door

from the kitchen that was included in the streetscape. That morning of the fire, Barth and Lecher did know what, if anything, could be preserved. “It was a scary morning,� Lecher said. “We did not know what was happening. When we walked in the building about midafternoon, we did not know the extent of the damage.� Barth knew about community support prior to the fire but was overwhelmed by the outpouring of concern. People sent many wellwishes through Celts’ Facebook page, some of them commenting about how Celts had been part of family traditions – birthdays, anniversaries and post-game meals.

The event will include prize drawings, happy hour prices, bingo, a meat raffle and music. Celtic folk musicians in the Locklin Road Band will perform from 5-7 p.m. in the south bar, while rock band Drama Queen will take the stage at the north bar from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Barth hopes the event will be the beginning of another chapter in Celts history.

Thisweekend A brass act all the way Chestnut Brass Company concert Feb. 9 in Lakeville by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Chestnut Brass Company has come a long way from its salad days as a Philadelphia street band in the late 1970s. The brass quintet has been featured on National Public Radio’s “All Things Considered,� saw its music aired on the PBS documentary “A House Divided� and, in 2000, won a Grammy for the album “Hornsmoke� with composer Peter Schickele. The band will be bringing its horn-centered sound to the Lakeville Area Arts Center on Sunday, Feb. 9, to perform as part of the ongoing Kingsley Shores Coffee Concerts series.

“Our Lakeville program is ‘Made in America,’ � explained trombonist Larry Zimmerman of Apple Valley, who joined Chestnut Brass in 1990. “We’ll perform folk songs from diverse traditions, popular tunes of George Gershwin, Cole Porter and Duke Ellington, and two new works by American composers Joseph Turrin and Eric Ewazen, who the quintet is happy to count as friends.� The concert is the second in this year’s Coffee Concerts series, which opened Jan. 12 with a performance by Minnesota Opera resident artists John Robert Lindsey and Victoria Vargas. After the Chestnut Brass concert, the series

returns April 27 with the Bakken Trio, a group formed by Minnesota Orchestra musicians. The concerts include complimentary coffee and refreshments in the series’ informal cabaret setting, with the musicians providing some background and insights on the pieces they’ve chosen to perform. All the performances are on Sundays at 2 p.m. at the arts center located at 20965 Holyoke Ave. in downtown Lakeville. Tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for students and seniors, and are available online at www.LakevilleAreaArtsCenter.com and at the door.
