St. Patrick’s Day is viewed by many as a time to be merry and quaff down pints of green beer. Before revelers head out the door this weekend to parties related to the Irish-infused holiday, they should think about how they are going to get back home safe and not end up in jail, the hospital or the morgue. Seven volunteers in Rosemount discovered how quickly they can go over the state’s 0.08 blood alcohol limit after having a few drinks during a “controlled drinking� event at Fire Station No. 2.

Planned improvements along 195th Street in Farmington aim to improve the road surface while creating better traffic flow and increased safety. Residents of Farmington were able to look at proposed changes to 195th Street between Flagstaff Avenue and Diamond Path in Farmington last Thursday night at a joint open house by the city of Farmington and Dakota County.

“These were concepts where we wanted to get feedback from the public before we finalized the design,� said City Engineer Kevin Schorzman. He said the city and county wanted residents to look over the plans and general concepts, identifying any issues that the planners may not have recognized. Schorzman said it was a good turnout with more than 80 people stopping by Farmington’s Maintenance Facility to look over the plans. “Quite honestly, it was probably the most posi-

tive open house I have ever been to in my career,� Schorzman said. Since 195th Street, also known as County Road 64, is a Dakota County road, Dakota County has taken the lead in the project. Schorzman said the county will pay 55 percent of the cost with Farmington picking up the other 45 percent of the price tag. This section of road came to the attention of Dakota County because the road was falling apart in areas. Since the road See STREET, 7A

It’s in the bank Farmington students create change for school in Kenya by Jennifer Chick SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

It took Farmington students less than two months to raise $10,000 to build a school in Kenya. And they did it one quarter at a time. The fundraising efforts were part of We Create Change, a partnership between Free The Children and Bremer Bank to build schools and improve access to education in developing communities around the globe. Since We Day Minnesota last October, FHS students had been looking for a project to support. Farmington High School student Jason Lansing was inspired by We Day Minnesota to extend his focus outward. He will be traveling to Kenya in July to help build a school there, and when he talked with Theresa Agerter, an assistant principal at FHS, about his trip, she was

For the past decade, the Eagan and Lakeville Resource Centers has provided emergency food support to local residents. As the Eagan nonprofit continues to fulfill its mission, it will do so under a new name. On March 20, the Resource Centers, which operates two food shelves and five mobile pantries in Dakota County, will officially become The Open Door. “Our name wasn’t reflective of our geographic area anymore,� said Lisa Horn executive director of the Eagan and Lakeville Resource Centers. “The new name reflects our mission: that our doors are always open.� The Eagan Resource Center was founded in 2004 by Mount Calvary Lutheran Church when it opened a food shelf to serve Eagan’s poor. At the time, the food shelf served 40 families a month, but during the next

five years, demand quickly swelled to 300 families per month, prompting the church leadership to turn the Eagan Resource Center into a nonprofit organization, which is no longer tied to the church. In 2010, a group of concerned citizens approached the Resource Center about opening a food shelf in Lakeville after the suburb’s only one closed. The Lakeville pantry opened in Oct. 2010, prompting the nonprofit to change its name to the Eagan and Lakeville Resource Centers. Since then, the Resource Centers’ reach has expanded well beyond Eagan and Lakeville. In 2012, the nonprofit rolled out its Mobile Pantry — a short bus that was converted into a food shelf on wheels — which now serves Apple Valley, Inver Grove Heights, Rosemount and Burnsville. Between its brick-and-mortar food shelves and its Mobile Pantry, the Resource Centers currently serves more than 5,000 people in Dakota County each month. In addition to the name

change, the Resource Centers will adopt the tag line: A fresh approach to ending local hunger. Providing healthful, fresh food has been a central part of the nonprofit’s mission since 2007 when it began offering fresh produce, dairy and meats. Today, fresh and perishable foods account for approximately 70 percent of the Resource Centers’ pantries’ stock. Though the Resource Centers will taken on a new brand, it’s mission will remain the same — to provide healthful food support for the community. The nonprofit will reveal its new logo and brand at noon March 20 during its fifth annual Empty Bowls event at St. John Neumann Catholic Church at 4030 Pilot Knob Road in Eagan. Empty Bowls, which is from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 4:30-7:30 p.m., is a fundraising event in which attendees can, for a suggested donation of $20, select a handmade bowl or mug, enjoy soup and bread from one of several local restaurants and leave the bowl empty as a sign of hunger in their community.

New option for learning in Apple Valley Rosemount man sentenced for misuse of clients’ $72,000

Brightmont Academy offers one-to-one instruction by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Parents and students seeking an alternative to the traditional K-12 education model may find a solution at Brightmont Academy in Apple Valley. The private school, which opened this month at 15624 Pilot Knob Road, offers one-to-one instruction, year-round flexible scheduling and a number of different enrollment options. The Apple Valley site is Brightmont’s second campus in Minnesota – a Plymouth campus opened in 2013 – and its ninth school nationwide. “As we have seen with our Plymouth campus, one-to-one instruction works,� said Laura Porter-Jones, Apple Valley campus director. “When a student needs more than the traditional school can offer, Brightmont Academy creates a customized approach to improve learning outcomes.� The school offers three enrollment options – students can attend full-time and earn a high school diploma issued by Bright-

A 50-year-old Rosemount man was sentenced on March 3 to community service, 20 years of probation and pay a restitution amount that has yet to be set after he pleaded guilty to charges connected to the theft of $72,000 paid by clients to the collection agency he owned. Scott Alan Schoaf pleaded guilty to felony theft and theft by swindle after a random audit discovered his misuse of funds through his company, Alternative Receivables Solutions Inc., for the period of June 2009 to March 2010. The Minnesota Department of Commerce’s October 2009 audit found that ARS was “out of trust� on trust accounts maintained by the business, had commingled client funds with operating funds and failed to remit to clients (creditors) some client funds that ARS had collected from debtors on the client creditors’ behalf, according to the criminal complaint. It also was discovered that ARS had transferred

Burnsville eyes pedestrian bridge at 13 and Nicollet by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Burnsville City Council members have begun laying the groundwork for a possible pedestrian bridge over Highway 13 at Nicollet Avenue. At a March 11 work session, council members gave the go-ahead for further study and possible application for federal funds. The council is expected to decide this fall whether to include the bridge, estimated at $1.5 million to $2 million, in its next fiveyear capital improvements plan. The city would then apply this year or next for federal funding, which could arrive in 2018 or 2019. Crossing the six-lane highway at Nicollet is already difficult, and pedestrian demand is sure to rise with growth of the Burnsville Transit Station, city officials say. The bridge would link the transit station north of Highway 13 with the Heart of the City development of condos and businesses to the south. “The big driver is we’ve got the Burnsville Transit Station north of that intersection,� Albrecht said. The Minnesota Valley Transit Authority station is a candidate to host the southernmost stop of the first phase of Metro Transit’s Orange Line, a bus

rapid transit line scheduled to launch in 2018 on Interstate 35W. The MVTA is also preparing to add Prior Lake and Shakopee to its bus service area, which would make the transit station even busier, Albrecht said. “That is going to be a transit hub substantially beyond what it is today,� he said. A site on Travelers Trail in the Heart of the City is also possible for the Orange Line stop, Albrecht said. The bridge would provide a link between the stop and the transit station. Highway 13 carries 30,000 to 35,000 vehicles a day at Nicollet in a 50 mph zone, Albrecht said. Pedestrians must cross six lanes, plus a westbound right-turn lane. There’s a “refuge median� for those who can’t make it one cycle, according to Albrecht, who said crossing is too daunting for some. “The road is only going to get more difficult to get across,� he said. Mayor Elizabeth Kautz said she’s seen pedestrians this winter standing on snow piles in the median waiting for the light to change. “That was really, really dangerous, I thought,� she said. The idea of a pedestrian bridge at 13 and Nicollet isn’t new. It was

recommended in a multiagency Highway 13 corridor study, according to Albrecht. “I see this as a safety issue,� Council Member Bill Coughlin said. Two locations are being considered just east of the intersection. Both potential designs would have approach ramps. The site closest to Nicollet would have a circular “helix� ramp. Federal funding for such projects is usually capped at $1 million, Albrecht said. That potentially leaves $500,000 to raise for a basic bridge with approach lanes. The city, the MVTA and the Minnesota Department of Transportation are possible funding partners, he said. Adding weather protection to keep snow out and encourage yearround use would add about $500,000, Albrecht said. The bridge would likely have a high initial cost per pedestrian, Albrecht said, but use would grow. “It’s pretty much transit-related,� he said. But the city does hear from some people who live in the Heart of the City and have trouble making the crossing, Albrecht said.

trust accounts funds into operation accounts, which were separate from each other. It was reported that the trust account had a negative balance 44 times in 2009. Schoaf will work for 30 days in the Sentenceto-Serve program and will serve an additional 25 days each year in the program until the restitution is paid in full. As part of the sentencing, Schoaf cannot volunteer or be employed in a position that requires handling of funds. An additional count each of felony theft and theft by swindle were dismissed at sentencing. He was charged in April 2012 with four felony counts. Dakota County James Backstrom praised Assistant County Attorney Elizabeth Swank, who prosecuted the case, and he thanked the Rosemount Police Department and the Minnesota Department of Commerce for their thorough investigation.  â€“ Tad Johnson

Opinion Shootings motivate school security efforts by Don Heinzman SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

When students Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris entered Columbine (Colo.) High School on April 20,1999, and shot 12 students, a teacher and themselves, Rick Kaufman was director of school communications for Jefferson County Public Schools. Within minutes of the shooting, he was at Columbine helping wounded students. Today, Kaufman is executive director of community relations and emergency management for Bloomington Public Schools. Motivated by the Columbine tragedy, he continues to help school districts implement ways to be safer. He said the number of school shootings have spiked again since the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting last December and use of guns will surpass car accidents as a leading cause of deaths among young people next year. Kaufman agrees with critics who say you can’t stop the “active shooter” who enters a school to kill. He counsels school districts that buying time and taking measures to prevent these incidents are the best approaches because most active shooters kill their

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Don Heinzman victims within the first three minutes, while it takes three to four minutes for police to arrive on scene. Often, the shooter had a history of threatening suicide, was bullied or threatened, and suffered from depression. And in just about all cases, someone knew about the shooter’s intentions ahead of time. Last fall, Bloomington voters approved a technology and school security bond, of which $2 million per year for 10 years was intended to make their schools more secure. This summer, construction will begin to modify school entrances as part of a new Access Management System. Main entrances will be renovated to limit school access by guiding visitors into the office once school is in session. Visitors will check in via a Visitor Management System that screens visitors against a database for sexual offenders and parent

custodial rights before allowing access to the school. Other improvements include: • New alarm buttons to be used in an emergency to close off all fire doors leading to wings of the schools. • Laminated or film on entrance windows and doors designed to limit shattering, unlike how the shooter got into Sandy Hook Elementary School. • All doors with access to playfields, athletic fields and staff parking lots will be equipped with keyless access control units. The new system will also detect if a door is propped open or an attempt is made to pry it open. The district has also implemented training of each school’s emergency response team, and eventually all staff, in ongoing efforts to ensure schools are safer and more secure. Kaufman said staff has embraced the new security measures and training. “Knowing what to do in a crisis can be the difference between chaos and calm, and in some cases even life and death,” Kaufman said. “That’s powerful for understanding the need to be prepared.” The challenge for school administrators is balancing the desire for schools to be a welcoming environment while being more secure.

Kaufman said we live in a different time, where easier access to guns and violent response has become more the norm to resolving a person’s real or perceived wrongs. Usually the active shooter is a person who has familiarity with the school, often a current or former student. It’s obvious more students are coming from dysfunctional families. Kaufman said the district is better prepared today than a year ago and will be better prepared next year than this year. “We must remain vigilant, from intervention and prevention programs to address students before they turn to violence, and preparation and response for incidents we hope never occur,” he said. The shooting at Columbine High School is never far from his mind, nor is the promise he made to the victims’ families, that “if we can prevent one student death as a result of a violent act, then we’ve honored the memories of all those killed or injured.” Don Heinzman is a columnist for ECM Publishers.

Dang, I’m really going to college!’ ‘by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Taking college-level courses at his high school was “fantastic,” according to Khalique Rogers, a student at Gordon Parks High School in St. Paul. “Our research shows that in just one year, these courses produced more than $13 million in potential savings for students and families,” according to Mary Olson, director of communication and public relations in the Anoka-Hennepin School District. Olson reported that in the 2012-13 school year, approximately 79 percent of the district’s seniors “took at least one potential college credit earning course during their high school experience.” Both are referring to one of the greatest opportunities, or bargains, Minnesota public schools offer: the ability to earn free college credits while taking collegelevel courses offered in high school. In some high schools, students are earning a two-year Associate of Arts, or A.A., college degree as they graduate from high school. These courses are part of the overall “dual high school credit” course program available in Minnesota – one of the nation’s broadest set of opportunities. PostSecondary Enrollment Options, PSEO, Minnesota’s law allowing 10th- through 12th-graders to take free college courses on college and university campuses, is one option. But it’s equally important for students and families to know that in virtually every one of Minnesota’s high schools, students can earn free college credits in classes at the high school. There are many ways to do this, including Advanced Placement, International Bacca-

Joe Nathan laureate, College in the Schools, Project Lead the Way and the CLEP tests. Here are a few of many examples. Mounds View and Irondale high schools are two high schools that have developed an opportunity to earn these A.A. degrees Spectrum High School, in Elk River, already has graduated students who also earned these degrees. The Farmington High School website notes that students at the school have the opportunity to earn college credit in the high school via Advanced Placement and Concurrent Enrollment. Minnetonka Superintendent Dennis Peterson recently cited the “quality of courses offered at our high school through IB, AP and Vantage.” Minnetonka offers a vast array of such courses. Richfield High School Principal Jason Wenschlag wrote via email: ““The CIS and AP classes are valuable to us because we have a lot of really smart, hardworking students who want the academic challenge that those classes provide. Further, some of those classes are designed for students who might not normally take a college-level class, so we are preparing more students for the rigor of postsecondary education.” He reported that this semester, 216 RHS students are taking a College in the Schools course at the high school, offered in cooperation with the University of Minnesota, and 199 students are taking an Advanced

The study showed that the number of Minnesota students who took an AP exam before leaving high school nearly doubled during the past decade, growing from 9,256 in 2003 to 17,482 in 2013. The number of students who posted passing scores on these exams also doubled, from 5,882 in 2003, to 11,497 in 2013. Minnesota Department of Education estimates, “With an average rate of $348.93 per credit hour, those passing scores helped save Minnesota students and their families nearly $44 million.” Brenda Cassellius, Minnesota’s education commissioner, commented: “It is exciting to see more students throughout Minnesota not only taking more rigorous courses, but also posting higher scores. … Our students are not only challenging themselves and proving that they are ready for college and career, they are also earning a college credit — which means substantial cost savings as they make the transition to postsecondary education. … These results are a testament to the amazing educators in Minnesota who have not only striven to increase access to college-level courses for all students in high school, but who provide targeted, meaningful instruction to ensure their students succeed.” The complete report is at http://bit.ly/1jrdUH6. Karen Hynick, system director of P-20 and College Readiness for the Minnesota State College and Universities told me: “Minnesota State Colleges and Universities are deeply committed to advancing their partnership efforts with their local school districts to enable col-

Veterans memorial donations sought To the editor: The Farmington Area Veterans Memorial Committee has received some very good news. A local organization, Support Our Troops Haunted House, has pledged $10,000 to our memorial project if we can match it with donations from others. This is an opportunity for businesses and individuals to give and have their gift matched by this generous offer. This organization raises funds by their hard work in operating the Haunted House at the Dakota County Fairgrounds each Halloween. Please send donations of any amount to Farmington Area Veterans Memorial, P.O. Box 61, Farmington, MN 55024. Your donation is income tax deductible and will be very helpful to our continued construction plans this summer. LEON W. ORR Farmington Area Veterans Committee Farmington

Marijuana vs. tobacco, marijuana wins To the editor: Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom is no lexicographer. He thinks it is “incongruous” for Minnesota to approve medical marijuana. What is incongruous is Backstrom’s support of the status quo and the disparate way in which the tobacco and the marijuana plants are treated by Minnesota statute. One plant causes over 350,000 deaths per year nationally. The other has no known level of toxicity. One plant causes cancer, the other does not. Marijuana contains cannabinoids which are noncarcinogenic and demonstrate some anti-cancer properties. Tobacco contains nicotine, which is not only addictive but also promotes the development of cancer cells and their blood supply. One plant has no medicinal use. The other plant has proven medicinal use that even Backstrom acknowledges. Marijuana has well-established medical uses, especially for controlling chemotherapy-

induced nausea, boosting appetite in AIDS patients and relieving neuropathic pain – without the dangers of opioid painkillers. And it may inhibit tumor growth. It has long been used for glaucoma. One plant is physically addictive, the other is not. Marijuana may cause psychological dependency, but that does not rise to the level of addiction. As a former tobacco user, I can testify to the tremendously addictive nature of that plant. One plant is the major cause of lung cancer, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, heart disease and stroke. The other plant has not been directly linked to these diseases. A 2006 study funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse tried and failed to link marijuana to lung cancer. Prior to the plant being criminalized, it was frequently used to treat asthma as it is a bronchodilator, while tobacco smoke causes broncoconstriction. One plant is legal. The other plant is not. Even though the National Commission on MariSee LETTERS, 5A

DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE March 13, 2014

Weigh in on Vermillion watershed plan The Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers Organization is looking for public input to develop the next 10-year watershed plan to improve water quality and overall health of the watershed. The public will have three opportunities to attend a “community conversation� workshop from 6-8 p.m. on the following dates:

• March 26 at Pleasant Hill Library, 1490 S. Frontage Road, Hastings. • April 1 at the Scott County Library, 110 J. Roberts Way, Elko New Market. • April 10 at the Dakota County Extension and Conservation Center, 4100 220th St., Farmington. Community conversations offer an opportunity for people living in

the watershed to express their views about water resource issues and priorities that the Joint Powers Organization Board will consider as the watershed plan is developed. Each meeting will include discussions of water resource issues and strategies to achieve water resource goals. Space is limited and reservations are recommended by emailing

water@co.dakota.mn.us or calling 952-891-7000. Twenty communities and townships in central Dakota County and eastern Scott County are completely or partially included in the Vermillion River Watershed. To learn more or find out if you reside within the watershed, visit www.vermillionriverwatershed.org.

equal work. He supports the Paycheck Fairness Act and opposes any weakening of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009. By contrast, our current representative, John Kline, voted against the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. In addition to equal pay for equal work, women have a right to make choices that affect our bodies and our families, including the use of contraception and safe access to abortion. Again, the contrast is clear: Obermueller believes that women have the right to access effective birth control, while John Kline consistently votes against women’s reproductive freedom. John Kline may have big money on his side, but voters can exercise their rights by choosing a candidate, Mike Obermueller, who believes in women’s equality, both at work and at home.

day program does little more than enhance unions who benefit by additional union dues and more teachers who are union members. Home environment is by far a better learning arena for most students than classrooms. Yes, there are single-family households and low-income people with children that could benefit, but to include all students into a one-sizefits-all-pre-K program is not a smart or financially practical solution.

examples of studies that demonstrate these longterm benefits. There are TED talks that explain how these benefits happen. Rolnick says the best return-on-investment we can achieve is through investing in high quality preschool education. A further study by Harvard University in Boston showed that in reading and math, children who went for more than a half-day learned more. Children in smaller classes made more progress than those in larger classes, and the availability of a teaching aide was especially helpful for some students. These studies may be why Mike Obermueller, a candidate for Congress in Minnesota’s 2nd District, agrees with sheriffs, police chiefs, and county attorneys in Dakota, Scott, Goodhue, Wabasha, Rice and Washington counties. They say it makes the job of law enforcement easier when we invest in quality early childhood education. These law enforcement people are part of a group called “Fight Crime: Invest in Kids.� Being judicious with government spending may be prudent. Rejecting it out of hand, without consulting research, is foolish. We have allowed the incumbent representative in Washington, D.C., to act abruptly in rejecting early childhood education.

juana, which had most of its members appointed by the original drug warrior Richard Nixon, recommended in 1972 that marijuana be decriminalized, the plant remains illegal. What is incongruous is how these two plants are treated by Minnesota statute. It is time to correct the error and stop wasting scarce law enforcement resources trying to keep a medicinally useful plant away from people who would benefit from it. DANIEL FITZSIMMONS Apple Valley

Obermueller supports women’s issues To the editor: March is Women’s History Month, and it’s important to celebrate women’s past achievements so that all of us can imagine and work for a future in which gender equity is the norm. Without such knowledge — for example, knowledge of American women’s successful struggle to win the vote in 1920 — women will continue to be treated as second-class citizens. Sadly, gender equality is not yet the norm. Even in the United States, women have not achieved full equality. Fortunately, now that women have won the vote, we have the freedom to support candidates who believe in gender equality and, if necessary, remove from office those who continue to impede our progress for equal pay, reproductive justice, and family planning. Voters in the 2nd District have a clear choice in 2014: Mike Obermueller, candidate for the U.S. House, believes that women deserve equal pay for

Early education not a solution To the editor: I see by the Feb. 28 edition of the paper that the prolific letter writer Paul Hoffinger has once again put forth his liberal views, this time on education. He claims that early childhood education is vital for the success of children later on in their lives. He further states that a recent Harvard study says there are huge benefits from early childhood education programs. I can cite a Stanford University study that tracked over 14,000 youngsters nationwide and found that by fifth grade all gains experienced by early pre-K programs vanished. Squandering tax dollars on a questionable full-

PETER CARNEY Eagan

Rejecting early education is foolish

To the editor: A recent letter writer suggests I didn’t provide evidence that early childhood education prevents criminal behavior later in life. Apparently that assumption, that it really does not give rise to lawful behavior, may be behind opposition by U.S. Rep. John Kline, R-Burnsville, to public early childhood education. It seems the writer, and Kline, even believe that the majority of studies show no long-term benefits to participants. I disagree with that idea.

Education Fifteen District 196 teams headed District 196 students qualify for DECA to state Destination ImagiNation international conference Fifteen teams representing eight District 196 schools had top finishes at regional competitions and qualified to compete at the Destination ImagiNation (DI) state tournament April 12 in Champlin. Destination ImagiNation is a worldwide, performance-based competition that develops students’ creative skills through problem-solving, improvisation, teamwork and independent thinking. Teams of students ranging from elementary to high school compete by age level in one of seven different challenges: technical, scientific, structural, fine arts, improvisation, service learning and early learning. District 196 schools competed in regional tournaments held Feb. 22 in Maple Grove and

March 1 in St. Paul. At each regional event, the top two or three finishers in each challenge and age level qualified for the state tournament. The state qualifying teams from District 196 include the following: • Squishy Flaming Dictionaries, Diamond Path Elementary School of International Studies, first place in the Laugh Art Loud fine arts challenge. • Psychedelic Creatures, Diamond Path, first place in the Pitch & Play service learning challenge. • Duct Tape Phobia, Dakota Hills Middle School, first place in The Tension Builds structural challenge. • The Flaming Foxes, Greenleaf Elementary School, second place in the Laugh Out Loud challenge. • Society of Cham-

Progression course offered for teens The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) of Minnesota will hold a free, six-session course designed to empower young people to take charge of their lives and deal with the issues they are facing in a healthy and effective way. It will be held 6:308:30 p.m. Mondays, April 7 to May 12, at Amazing Grace Lutheran Church, 7160 S. Robert Trail, Inver Grove Heights. The course helps teens

understand how to maintain good mental health; how to recognize signs of stress, anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder; how to help friends, siblings and parents understand what they are going through and different types of treatment options. Registration is required. For information, or to register for this class, contact Andrea Lee at 651-645-2948, ext. 106.

pions, Greenleaf, third place in The Tension Builds challenge. • Panda Portraits, Parkview Elementary School, first place in the Laugh Out Loud challenge and winner of the DaVinci Award. • Jumpin’ Monkeys, Pinewood Community School, third place in the Going to Extremes scientific challenge. • Argentina Apples, Rosemount Middle School, first place in the Going to Extremes challenge. • Simply Intense Complex Butter, Rosemount Middle, second place in The Tension Builds challenge. • Pigs Who Shall Not Be Named, Shannon Park Elementary School, second place in the Going to Extremes challenge. • The Dragon Bolts,

Shannon Park, second place in the Going to Extremes challenge. • Everyone, Shannon Park, fourth place in the Going to Extremes challenge. • Little Neon Monsters, Woodland Elementary School, first place in the Dig In technical challenge. • Flaming Rainbow Monkeys, Woodland, third place in the Dig In challenge. • The Mighty Mustaches, Woodland, second place in The Tension Builds challenge. The Awesome People team from Shannon Park Elementary won the Spirit of DI Award at the east metro regional tournament in St. Paul, but finished one place short of qualifying for the state tournament.

Parkview Elementary addition under consideration Officials in the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District are hoping to build an addition onto Parkview Elementary School in Lakeville to combat growing class sizes. Though enrollment has remained stable with about 800 students in the past 10 years, the 44-yearold school expects to face a rapid increase in enrollment in the next few years due to new housing development within its attendance area and the dis-

trict’s new all-day kindergarten program. “A new addition will create space added for our learners and an added value to our taxpayers,� Finance Director Jeff Solomon said at the March 10 board meeting. The School Board unanimously approved that a proposal be submitted for review by the Department of Education. From there, the Board will review more detailed plans. — Jessica Harper

Nine students from Rosemount High School and four from Eastview High School had top four finishes at the Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA) state competition March 2-4 in Minneapolis. Approximately 200 students competed in each business- and marketing-related event at the state competition and the top four finishers in each event qualified for the DECA International Career Development Conference May 3-6 in Atlanta. Virginia Norder of Rosemount was a qualifier in two events, taking first in Business Finance Services and second in Economics and Marketing. Katie Coyne of Eastview was also a double qualifier, finishing first in Public Speaking and second in the Marketing Communications team event along with teammate Taylor Leighton. Ribhav Gupta and

Rishabh Gupta of Eastview qualified for the international conference by taking third place in the Entrepreneurship Growing Your Business team event. Other qualifiers from Rosemount are Brady Drescher, third place, Food Marketing Series; Kaitlyn Debaun and Anna Grausnick, third place, Hospitality and Services team event; Jennifer Wahl, third place, Quick Serve Restaurant Series; John Herron, third place, Retail Merchandising Series; William Lai, fourth place, Business Finance Services; and Megan Beasley and Carley Cook, fourth place, Hospitality and Services team event. DECA is an international association of high school and college students and teachers of marketing, management and entrepreneurship in business, finance, hospitality, and marketing sales and service.

District 196 ice College fair skating show at AVHS The District 196 Icettes figure skating team will present its annual ice skating show at 7 p.m. March 13-15 at the Apple Valley High School arena.

KENYA, from 1A said Jay Haugen, superintendent of Farmington Area Public Schools. “They were given the license to think big and do great things. They were the drivers and the leaders. They don’t need an adult to organize them, they can make the difference themselves.� Each $20 collected provided a brick, the cornerstone of a new school that will transform the

STREET, from 1A was in need of repair, the county and Farmington decided to look at it with an eye toward future growth. That section of 195th Street will be expanded to a three-lane road to accommodate a turn lane for vehicles. Trails will be located on both sides of that section of road, and Farmington will also be installing curb and gutters to help with storm runoff. At the intersections of Flagstaff Avenue, Pi-

lives of hundreds of children. According to Free The Children, 57 million children around the world are still denied access to education. Because of this, Free The Children’s Year of Education initiative is focused on building 200 schools and improving access to education in developing communities around the globe. On Feb. 25, 35 students from Farmington Area Public Schools joined Jeanne Crain, president

and CEO of Bremer Bank Twin Cities, for the firstever official We Create Change “quarter dropoff � event in Minnesota. At that time, the students had raised more than $6,000 in support of We Create Change. By Feb. 28, they had raised their goal of $10,000, celebrating through a tweet from a special Twitter account, Tiger Bricks, which they had set up to track progress. “$10,000 raised in un-

lot Knob Road and Akin Road, the plan proposes roundabouts instead of all-way stops. Right now, Farmington has just one roundabout, at the intersection of Highway 3 and 195th Street. Schorzman said it has been there since 2008. One of the concerns raised by citizens has been how traffic will be spaced with a roundabout. Schorzman said a roundabout may not create quite as even spacing between cars as a four-way stop would, but gaps between

the groups of cars should be longer than with an all-way stop. Data presented at the open house, and also available on Dakota County’s website under transportation and planned road construction, showed that roundabouts can be more fuel efficient than an all-way stop, with fewer delays during peak and non-peak periods, and a lower percentage of injury crashes, 16 percent compared to 34 percent for all-way stops. “Traffic engineering is very counterintuitive,�

Schorzman said. “What most people think is a solution will actually make it worse.� As an example, he said many people suggested lowering the speed limit along 195th Street. But lowering the speed artificially can create more hazards and make it even harder for people from the side roads to turn onto the main road. Another concern along 195th Street is the congestion at the intersection with Pilot Knob Road (County Highway 31). Because of

this, Dakota County is recommending that Pilot Knob be expanded to four lanes from 190th Street to 195th Street. From 190th Street north, Pilot Knob is already four lanes, so this will extend that four-lane section further south. Meadowview Elementary is located along 195th Street, so traffic flow around the school will be assessed as the county and city move forward. One of the proposed changes Schorzman is most excited about is a planned pedestrian underpass at Mead-

owview Elementary. This way, students walking to school will not have to cross the expanded threelane road. “We’re trying to separate the kids from the traffic,� Schorzman said. A proposed schedule will have work on 195th Street starting in April or May 2015 and going through October. Schorzman said another open house is planned in September to roll out the actual design to residents.

Leprechaun Days looks to replace funding source Free parade entry offered to businesses that give over $501 by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Legacy includes Rosemount residents (from left) Patti Drew, Kevin Carroll and David McKoskey of St. Paul. The group will play during the Rosemount Rotary Club’s “Irish for a Day Soiree� at the Rosemount Community Center on Saturday, March 15. (Photo submitted)

Rosemount band members to play at Irish events Legacy to perform at Rotary event and in St. Paul by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Rosemount residents Kevin Carroll and Patti Drew, along with David McKoskey, of St. Paul, are members of the Celtic band Legacy, which will play during Rosemount Rotary’s Irish for a Day Soiree at the Rosemount Community Center on Saturday, March 15, but it won’t be the only jig gig on their slate. While the band will highlight the Rotary fundraiser that will also include a performance by Irish dancers, a raffle, a silent auction, a cash bar and a traditional Irish meal catered by Rosemount’s Las Tortillas Restaurant, the band will also offer a seminar on Irish music and play on the main stage during the St. Patrick’s Day Irish Celebration at the Landmark Center in St. Paul. The seminar, from 2:303:20 p.m., will focus on “Rebel Songs� as band members will offer some insight into the Irish musical tradition. After the seminar, the band will set up at the main stage for a music set as part of the Irish Music and Dance

Association event that runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. with music, dance, food, children’s crafts and other vendors. While the St. Paul events make this a busy time for Legacy, they have certainly enjoyed being part of the Rotary event, which is in its third year. “One of the things people like most about the soiree is that it is a casual fundraising event,� said Rotary member Erin Edlund. “People wear their favorite St. Pat’s T-shirts, beads and jeans – we have even had a few brave souls dress up as leprechauns.� Tickets are $50 per person or $350 for a table of eight. “It’s been a privilege to be part of a club that is really passionate about everything ranging from local to international service projects – and that impact always seems so much bigger because of the amazing amount of work Rotary International does around the world,� Edlund said. The event supports the club’s projects, which will have a special focus this year on providing financial support for children at the Rosemount Family Resource Center to attend various camps, workshops, field trips and other educational and lead-

ership activities during the summer months. “One of the things that our club is really passionate about is youth development,� Edlund said. “We are very excited about the project and are hoping to increase our fundraising over years past to give the fund a good start.� Funds also help support STRIVE, a mentoring program at the high school, and international programs like polio vaccinations and the packing of food for those in need. “Students in the STRIVE program develop strong relationships with their Rotary mentors, and we often hear feedback from those students that their mentors helped them get through their senior year, think about their futures differently and helped inspire them to do and be more,� Edlund said. Those interested in purchasing tickets should contact any Rosemount Rotarian, call Erin Edlund at 952-261-6133 or email rosemountrotary@gmail.com. More about the Irish Celebration is at www.irishmusicanddanceassociation.org, then click on St. Patrick’s Day in the menu at the left. Email Tad Johnson at tad.johnson@ecm-inc.com.

The Rosemount Leprechaun Days Committee is expanding opportunities for local businesses and organizations to promote themselves as sponsors after the committee learned earlier this year that one of its consistent sources of funding was going away. With the conversion of the SKB Environmental Trust Fund monies to the city for a future large-scale city project, donations from the trust fund will no longer be available. “SKB has done so much for Leprechaun Days and the entire city over the years,� said Diane Wellman, Leprechaun Days Committee chairwoman. “We are very appreciative of their efforts, and we know the company will continue to be great community supporters. We understand that the trust fund liquidation was important for the good of the city’s residents, and we are confident we can raise enough money to replace it.� With that in mind, the committee is offering businesses that give at the two top levels of sponsorship – Gold and Sapphire – a chance to enter their own float in the Grand Parade on Saturday, July 19, which is during the first weekend of Leprechaun Days. The parade has traditionally been held the second weekend. The parade is annually attended by thousands of spectators. Wellman said it is a great way to promote one’s business to paradegoers. A 2007 survey commissioned by the city of Rosemount found that 72 percent of local residents participate in the annual 10-day festival. It is likely many of those who participate in Leprechaun Days make attending the parade part of their tradition. “We feel that the exposure that businesses receive from being in the parade far outweighs the cost to participate,� Wellman said. Businesses that become a Sapphire Sponsor at the $501 to $2,499 level won’t have to pay the $100 parade registration fee. The fee will also be waived for Gold Sponsors at the $2,500 to $5,000 level. Parade participation is free for community service or nonprofit groups. Gold and Sapphire sponsors will

The participation forms include those for having a commercial or food booth at the Midsummer Faire, an entry in the Grand Parade or to plan an individual event. The Faire will be held Friday, July 25, and Saturday, July 26. The Grand Parade will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, July 19. This is new date for the event will be during the first weekend of Leprechaun Days. The parade has traditionally been held on the second Saturday. Groups, organizations and businesses are encouraged to plan an event that can add to the 60-plus events that make up Leprechaun Days. An application is required to include it in the official schedule of events.

have their names and/or logos included on promotional items related to Leprechaun Days, which may include banners, fliers, newspaper and website listings. Emerald Sponsors that give up to $500 will have their names listed on promotional items. The deadline for becoming a sponsor is June 1. Most of the money raised by the committee goes to pay for planning costs related to the Midsummer Faire’s stage entertainment, carnival, fireworks show, contracted services for items such as waste removal and much more. Businesses and individuals interested in donating can do so by sending checks payable to Rosemount Leprechaun Days, P.O. Box 256, Rosemount, MN 55068. Those with questions about donating time or in-kind services can send an email to LeprechaunDays@ gmail.com. More information about Leprechaun Days is at www.RosemountEvents.com.

Sports Eagles won’t be back-to-back champs Cretin-Derham Hall upset ends Apple Valley’s season by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

One day after Apple Valley’s boys basketball season ended earlier than many thought it would, the Eagles were still having trouble processing the result. “It’s 2:30 (Friday afternoon) and I feel like I should be in the gym getting ready to play next week,” Eagles coach Zach Goring said. Apple Valley isn’t there because of an 89-77 loss to Cretin-Derham Hall in the Class 4A, Section 3 championship game Thursday night at Farmington High School. The Eagles held an eight-point lead (65-57) with 6:45 remaining in the second half but couldn’t maintain it. Neither team scored in the first overtime as the Raiders held the ball for most of the four minutes. In the second overtime, Cretin-Derham Hall outscored Apple Valley 15-3. Eagles fans also saw starters Tyus Jones and Dennis Austin hit the floor hard within seconds of each other in the final minute of the second overtime. Austin was taken out of the gym on a stretcher

(Photo by Mike Shaughnessy) with an apparent back injury. Austin was evaluated, tested and then released from the hospital at 12:30 a.m. Friday, Goring said. Jones stayed down for a couple of minutes after he collided with a CDH player, then walked slowly to the locker room. He returned to the floor and played briefly in the final minute. Although Cretin-Derham Hall is ranked fifth in Class 4A, its victory over Apple Valley was por-

trayed as a massive upset. And perhaps justifiably so – the Eagles had not lost to a team from Minnesota since December 2012. Apple Valley (27-2) will not get a chance to defend the state championship it won in 2013. “The hard part is, the kids loved playing at the Target Center and wanted to do it again,” Goring said. Cretin-Derham Hall (23-6) limped into the playoffs with three losses

in its last five regular-season games, but the thirdseeded Raiders beat No. 2 seed East Ridge and No. 1 seed Apple Valley to earn their place in the state tournament. The Raiders attempted more three-point shots (37) than two-pointers (32) in the section final, and their comeback took shape when some of their long-range shots started falling. They had 12 threepoint baskets to Apple Valley’s two.

“Whenever we were up by five or seven points, I thought if we could get a stop or two we’d have a lot of momentum,” Goring said. “But we couldn’t do it. Every time there was a loose ball it seemed like they got it, got an open three and made it.” Cretin-Derham Hall also created some matchup problems for Apple Valley, Goring said, because the Eagles’ taller players had to spend some time defending the perimeter, which took them out of rebounding position. Guards Michael Hannon and Donnell Gresham scored 26 and 25 points for Cretin-Derham Hall. Jones, Apple Valley’s career leader in points and assists, finished his fiveyear Eagles career with 35 points on 14-for-25 shooting from the floor. He also made six of nine free throws and had eight assists. Sophomore center Brock Bertram had 17 points and 11 rebounds, and Austin had 10 points and 15 rebounds. In addition to Jones, Apple Valley will graduate starters Austin and Robert Tobroxen. Goring said he expects Austin to continue his playing career, possibly at a junior college. To-

broxen sacrificed some of his offense to guard opponents’ top scoring threats. Trey Pipkins, a 6-foot-7 senior, became a key player off the bench for the Eagles this season. Guards Jake Rhyner and Charles Young also graduate. Jones, who was Apple Valley’s starting point guard from the day he joined the varsity as an eighth-grader, will be at Duke University next year. But there still should be plenty of Jones family influence on the Eagles. Eighth-grader Tre Jones, who missed the end of this season because of a broken clavicle, will be back next year. Older brother Jadee is an Apple Valley assistant coach. As for Tyus Jones, “he was always great with the traveling basketball kids and the (Valley Athletic Association) kids,” Goring said. “There are many kids in Apple Valley who want to be the next Tyus Jones. That’s leading to more numbers in our youth program and kids spending more time working on their skills.” Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

Doing the heavy lifting

Overachieving Wildcats take third by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

To hear coach Mike Taylor and his players tell it, this might not have been the most heralded group of players to come out of Eagan youth hockey. “We just kind of played the game” as youths, said Nick Wolff, who developed into a workhorse defenseman for a Wildcats team that took third place at the state tournament last week. “We weren’t very good, but we weren’t poor, either. We just had fun with it. But we started building a team.” Last offseason, the players started asking Taylor for more demanding workouts. Taylor, who said he thought the conditioning program was pretty grueling as it was, went along. By the end of a 20-101 season, the Wildcats became a team that could do more than just hang out together. They matched the highest finish ever for an Eagan team at state, and their overachieving ways likely had a lot to do with Taylor being named Class AA coach of the year. Taylor described the players as a group that’s ruthless when needling each other, “but if anyone outside their group says boo, they’re coming after them. They call themselves a family, and I think they are.” Eagan completed its season with a 6-4 victory over Eden Prairie in the state Class AA thirdplace game Saturday at Xcel Energy Center. Wolff scored the game-

winner with 25 seconds left and the Wildcats skating shorthanded. He added an empty-net goal with six seconds remaining. Max Elsenheimer and Ian Entzion also scored two goals each for the Wildcats. The Wildcats faced a quick turnaround as they had to play again less than 17 hours after losing to Edina 3-1 in the semifinal round Friday night. “It’s tough. If you play 40-45 minutes, it takes a toll,” Wolff said. “But you’ve got to rest and hydrate and prepare for the next game.” The Wildcats were playing catch-up all night against Edina, which took the lead less than two minutes into the semifinal game. The Hornets made it 2-0 late in the second period. Eagan, which was held to 16 shots, had some hope when it pulled goalie Andrew Lindgren for an extra attacker and Jack Jenson scored with 46 seconds remaining. But the Hornets put it away with an empty-net goal with 16 seconds to play. Eagan, the tournament’s fifth seed, opened with a 3-0 victory over fourth-seeded Duluth East. Senior forward Max Elsenheimer scored two goals and had one assist. Lindgren made 28 saves to earn the shutout. Elsenheimer had 10 points (seven goals, three assists) in six postseason games and likely will get a closer look from college and junior programs, Taylor said. Lacrosse also could be an option for Elsenheimer, who will be

one of the Eagan boys team’s top returning players this spring. Wolff is expected to join the Des Moines Buccaneers of the United States Hockey League this week and is keeping his options open about college. His defense partner, senior Tom Muck, “is going to get a plethora of offers from junior teams,” Taylor said. Jenson and Taylor Karel are expected to be with a junior team in Corpus Christi, Texas, next year. The Wildcats came on late in the regular season, winning five of their final seven games. The only losses in that stretch were to Lakeville North and Burnsville, the top two teams in the South Suburban Conference. They finished fifth in the South Suburban and were seeded fourth in the Section 3AA tourney, but the Wildcats did their best work late in the season. “Kids grow up, change and mature,” Taylor said after Eagan’s state tournament victory over Duluth East. “Yeah, maybe we didn’t think this run would happen when we looked at these guys as Bantams and Peewees. But looking at them now, I’m not surprised.” In four trips to the state tournament – including three in the last four years – the Wildcats have two third-place trophies. Wolff said he doesn’t believe it will be long before a future Eagan team tops that. “Eagan’s going to get first place sometime,” he said. “No doubt about it.”

He went on to finish third in his weight class. Order of finish is determined by the combined weight of a competitor’s best snatch lift and clean and jerk. Burnsville won the boys, girls and combined team championships. Rosemount was second in the overall standings and Lakeville South was fourth. (Photo by Mike Shaughnessy)

MITCH HERRERA

SWIMMING AND DIVING LAKEVILLE SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL Mitch is an outstanding student whose schoolwork is of the ďŹ nest quality. As a student, Mitch is a hard worker who strives to reach well planned goals. Being the type of athlete coaches dream of, Mitch is blessed with talent, an excellent work ethic, and a never say die attitude! Mitch’s exceptional abilities include creativity, enthusiasm, and task commitment. Mitch’s most impressive attribute, however, is his ability to perform under pressure, both mentally and physically. As a coach, I could always count on Mitch to be his best at the big meets. It was as a leader of the swimming & diving team that Mitch shined the brightest. His leadership style is well balanced, leading by example and vocally as required by the circumstances.

DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE March 13, 2014

Thisweekend Oenophile intrigues Author of winery mystery series featured at Rosemount library event by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Wine country is awash in mystery in the fiction of Barbara Ellen Brink. The Rosemount author of the Fredrickson Winery mystery series — which is set at a small California winery and includes the novels “Entangled,� “Crushed� and “Savor� — will be appearing at the Robert Trail Library on Tuesday, March 18, as part of the ongoing “Meet the Author� series sponsored by the Rosemount Area Arts Council. Admission is free to the 6:30-8 p.m. library event, which will see the author reading excerpts from the three winery novels. Brink took time recently to talk with Sun Thisweek about her writing rituals, the secrets to writing suspense and why wine country makes a good setting for murder. Q: What inspired you to write a mystery series set at a winery? A: Inspiration comes in strange and varied ways. I’ve dreamed whole book plots while sleeping. I’ve been inspired by personal

Barbara Ellen Brink stories of people I know. Sometimes I’ve read an article or heard a news story that set my mind spinning with “what ifs.� That’s basically what happened when I started “Entangled,� the first winery novel. It was around 2006 when I noticed how wine had become a huge story in the news. Articles were being written about new vineyards, wine tasting parties and the growth of the industry. I thought with so many people in love with wine and so many mystery lovers out there, that the two should go hand in hand. Q: At what point in your life did you know you

wanted to be a writer? A: I always loved writing, and after high school, I even considered going into journalism. But life took over and I didn’t really have time to give it serious thought once I was married and had children. About 14 years ago, I decided it was time. I started writing again and haven’t stopped since. Q: What is your writing strategy? Do you have any writing rituals? A: My strategy for writing a novel is to keep my rear in the chair and continue writing even when the inspiration disappears. Inspiration is just a glimmer of an idea. The actual writing — putting one sentence after another — is hard work. I have a home office where I write. Some writers say they can write at the coffee shop or in a crowded restaurant, but that doesn’t work for me. I’m a creature of habit and I need solitude to concentrate. Besides, it can be embarrassing if you’re talking back to the characters in your head and you’re sitting all alone. The only rituals I have

would be to have plenty of coffee on hand, my snack drawer stocked with chocolate and almonds, and a good book to read when I need a break from my own writing. Q: Which authors have inspired you? A: I tend to read a lot of thrillers, suspense and mysteries for the very same reason that I write them. I like solving the puzzle. The problem is, I often solve the puzzle way too soon. But there are some authors that are masters at keeping secrets to the end. Some of my favorites are Patricia Cornwell, Linda Fairstein, Sibella Giorello and Steven James, to name just a few. Q: Any book projects currently in the works? A: I’m working on a murder mystery set right here in the southern suburbs of St. Paul. Young women are going missing and a female reporter with the local news station teams up with a detective to solve the case. Email Andrew Miller at andrew.miller@ecm-inc.com.

GAROFALO, from 1A sponses as news of the tweet was reported by Twin Cites media outlets, Deadspin and Huffington Post. Some credited Garofalo for speaking his mind, while others said the comment was racist, citing its use of “streetcrime� and that most of the NBA is comprised of African-Americans – 76.3 percent, according to a 2013 University of Central Florida study. The fervor over the

comment led Garofalo to issue a press release through his House office that said: “In the last 24 hours, I’ve had the opportunity to relearn one of life’s lessons: Whenever any of us are offering opinions, it is best to refer to people as individuals as opposed to groups. Last night, I publicly commented on the NBA and I sincerely apologize to those who I unfairly categorized. The NBA has many examples of players and owners who are role models for

Minnesota State Patrol Trooper Dan Marose said that’s why people who feel they are too drunk to drive shouldn’t “wait it out� because they may actually be becoming more intoxicated without having another drink. Marose points out that studies have shown that the “buzz� from alcohol impairs one’s decisionmaking as it “tricks� people into thinking they are

OK to drive when they are really over the legal limit – and have been for some time. While law enforcement officials say publicity in advance of holidays like St. Patrick’s Day is important, they also used the event to demonstrate their skill at detecting if someone has been drinking by noticing changes in their speech or appearance, such as having glassy or red eyes. They say that those

who have been drinking and think they can “fake out� an officer will find it nearly impossible, since many officers have years of experience dealing with drunken drivers.

our communities and for our country. Those individuals did not deserve that criticism and I apologize. In addition, it’s been brought to my attention that I was mistaken and the NBA policy on drug enforcement is stronger than I previously believed. Again, I offer my sincere apologies for my comments.� When questioned yesterday about the original comment by Kevin Draper of The Diss, Garofalo said he was referring to the NBA’s high arrest rate

and that the NBA doesn’t consider marijuana use a substance-abuse violation. Draper wrote on his site that the NBA’s 5.1 percent arrest rate in 2010 would have matched the national arrest rate of 4.2 percent if five fewer NBA players were arrested that year, according to a San Diego Union Tribune study. Draper added that five or six NBA players were arrested in 2012, which would put its arrest rate at 1.1 to 1.3 percent. The

national arrest rate was 3.8 percent in 2012, he wrote. The NBA’s policy regarding marijuana use includes entering an abuse program on the first offense, a fine for a second offense and game suspension for subsequent offense, Draper wrote. The Pioneer Press reported that Garofalo told reporters outside a committee meeting room on Monday: “I don’t have a racist bone in my body. I pride myself on the fact that I’ve tutored in

Zero deaths

lings that won’t ever be home to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day or any other holiday,� Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom said. Toward Zero Deaths’ enforcement effort aims to reduce that number to zero through the rotating targeted enforcement every weekend in Dakota County. On any given weekend, 12 more officers will be in Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Farmington, Lakeville, Rosemount or one of five other cities specifically looking for drunken drivers. In 2013, the officers involved in the effort handed out 15,528 violations, including 125 DWI arrests. “That shows the success of the program,� Rosemount Police Chief Eric Werner said. “It works because of all of the agencies working together.� A grant of $307,375 paid for 6,487 hours of the officers’ time in 2013, and a grant of $354,976 is expected to fund a similar amount of hours in 2014. It cost about $20 of officers’ time for each DWI, seat belt, child restraint, speeding, warrant arrest, texting and other violations logged.

From 2008-2012, approximately 130 people died annually in drunken-driving crashes. That statistic dropped to 93 in 2013. “That’s too many Email Tad Johnson at spouses, parents or sib- tad.johnson@ecm-inc.com.

inner-city Minneapolis and in addition have been a strong advocate for the charter schools in our communities. But there’s no excuses. I apologize. I’m responsible for my actions and just want to promise everybody I’ll do my best to not make that mistake again.� Garofalo was elected to the Minnesota House in 2004.
