With spring officially on the calendar, Farmington is looking forward to Dew Days in June.

With a resurgence in the downtown festival over the past few years, organizers estimate that as many as 8,000 people fill downtown Farmington during the multiday festival to visit with neighbors and sample all that Farmington vendors and store owners have to offer.

This year, Dew Days begins Tuesday, June 17, with Farmington royalty coronation events and continues through Saturday, June 21.

The 2014 Dew Days grand marshal will be Harold Roy, a World War II veteran from Farmington.

Each year, the Dew Days Committee holds a button design contest. Entries from middle and high school students within Farmington are evaluated by Farmington art teachers. This year’s winner is Kristi Flodin, 12, from Dodge Middle School. Watch for her but-

There are a few changes to the usual Dew Days lineup, as well as a few additions.

This year, bingo will be moving to Thursday night while the Flavors of Farmington, where people sample free food from local restaurants and retailers, will be Wednesday night. Darla Donnelly, chair of the Dew Days Committee, said it made the schedule changes to reduce conflicts with other area bingo activities usually held on Wednesday nights.

Now bingo players have even more chances to play that week.

‘I’ve earned my time to relax,’ Lakeville commissioner says

by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

After 20 years, Lakeville’s Paul Krause will not seek re-election to the Dakota County Board of Commissioners when his term expires in December.

“I just think it’s time for me to do other things,” Krause told Sun Thisweek.

“I’ve been thinking that way for a long while.”

He plans to spend time with his grandchildren, travel and relax. A former Minnesota Vikings defensive back and Pro Football Hall of Famer, Krause has endured multiple health problems he said were caused by concussions he suffered while in the NFL. “I don’t feel the greatest,” Krause said. “I played 16 years in the NFL, and I’ve got a lot of bumps and bruises, aches and pains. I think I’ve earned my time to relax.”

Krause, 72, has represented Lakeville through some of Dakota County’s most ambitious years, when construction was booming and the city grew rapidly.

He said he is proud of the county’s efforts to keep

property taxes down while building roads, bridges and parks.

“I’m proud of the board itself,” Krause said. “Dakota County has a tremendous board, and ever since I have been on it, we have held taxes down to the lowest in the state. I think we should be very proud of that.”

State Rep. Mary Liz Holberg recently announced plans to run for the seat held by Krause.

Krause said he considers Holberg a friend but does not plan to endorse anyone for the position.

“I’m not going to endorse anybody,” Krause said. “Right now, I don’t think I want to do that. I don’t think it’s necessary or right to push somebody.

I’m not even getting into saying anything about who should run.”

Krause, who chairs the county’s Physical Development Committee of the Whole and the Regional Railroad Authority, has always had an interest in transportation issues.

Apple Valley woman charged after fatal crash

by Andrew Miller

SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

An Apple Valley woman was charged this week in connection with the April 2013 crash that took the life of a passenger in the group-home van she was driving.

Prosecutors allege that Amanda L. Schlachter, 29, ran a red light while dialing her cellphone at the time of the accident that saw the death of 66-yearold James F. Sundboom.

According to the criminal complaint, Schlachter, an employee with an area group home for adults, was transporting clients in a Dodge minivan back to the group home the afternoon of April 6, 2013, after taking them shopping and having lunch.

Schlachter allegedly ran a red light at Garden View Drive and McAndrews Road in Apple Valley and collided with another vehicle. The Dodge minivan rolled onto its side in the crash and then collided with a third vehicle.

Sundboom, a passenger in the Dodge minivan, was seriously injured and transported to Hennepin County Medical Center,

Two adult male passengers and one adult female passenger in the minivan also were seriously injured, the complaint said.

Schlachter, who also suffered serious injury in the accident, has been charged in district court with one count of criminal

vehicular homicide and three counts of criminal vehicular operation resulting in substantial bodily harm. “This tragedy underscores the great danger associated with texting or dialing a cellphone while driving,� Dakota County Attorney James Back-

strom said.

If convicted on all counts, Schlachter faces a maximum penalty of 19 years in prison and fines totaling $50,000. She will have her first court appearance next month.

SeeClickFix begins Now when Farmington residents see concerns along Farmington streets and within Farmington parks, they can report them instantly.

On March 27, the city of Farmington announced that SeeClickFix, an online and mobile interface place-based reporting platform, is now open for residents to access.

Residents can report neighborhood concerns and improvements through service request categories on the city’s website, through mobile applications for iPhone and Android systems, a Facebook app and SeeClickFix.com. There is no cost to download and use the program.

When submitting issues with the mobile app, residents can provide location, descriptive and photographic information in real time. Once a request is submitted, the person who reported it, the city, and anyone watching the area will receive an alert. Farmington will then acknowledge the service request, route it to the proper department, and update the request once it’s been resolved.

The program allows residents to report community issues, as well as view, comment on and vote to fix problems submitted by their neighbors. According to a press release from the city, citizens can even create their own watch areas to receive notifications about all issues

The message of “Get That Girl a Cheeseburger,� she said, is that “humans are humans, they’re not their disorders, and no one is immune to getting

reported in their community, enabling them to follow the progress of all service requests, not just the ones they report. “It is a reporting feature where anybody that downloads the app to their phone can basically send a report to the city by clicking,� said Brenda Wendlandt, Farmington’s project lead on the SeeClickFix implementation. “We’re really hoping it takes off and residents utilize it. We are hoping they embrace the tool.�

Reports can be submitted and tracked from Farmington’s website at http:// www.ci.farmington.mn.us/SeeClickFix. html, where residents will also find links to download the iPhone and Android apps.

Residents can use the app to report graffiti, vandalism, trail repair, playground issues, lighting issues, lawn or weed complaints, tree concerns, environmental concerns, garbage issues and road conditions such as potholes and traffic problems.

Farmington began investigating the possibility of a mobile application after looking at a number of tools to create better communication with residents.

At the same time, the city was looking to streamline its work order software.

SeeClickFix seemed to be a program that could help with both issues. The goal of the new app is to make reporting more mobile and fluid as residents can submit problems directly from the spot where the problem is.

Opinion Amazing Swedish choir performs at St. Joseph’s by the Rev. Paul Jarvis SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Vettern College Choir from Jönköping, Sweden, performed a concert March 29 at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Rosemount.

The choir dramatically enacted with gesture and movement and even folk costumes a connection between Minnesota and Sweden.

After the concert’s midpoint, the singers came in dressed in Swedish folk costumes and choir director Ove Gotting read excerpts about Swedish farmers’ anxiety in mid-19th century Sweden.

Reading the unhappiness of yester-century is something Swedes are prone to do, as there is this notion, according to Gotting, that a Swede really isn’t happy until he or she is really unhappy.

The farmers of 19th century Sweden, he would relate with quotes, were indeed unhappy – as their families had grown great in size and there wasn’t enough land to satisfy their industriousness. Expanding Swedish cities weren’t able to absorb the population growth.

And so starvation became commonplace in the Swedish countryside and impoverished urban settlements. The Swedes had heard about all the land available for settling in America. But it would take a lot of unhappiness to convince even the starving and near-starving to leave behind their families and friends, their homeland and the land they worked and loved … even for

not overacting – sang a piece about the acquisition of the family’s first iron stove.

For both children and parents, it was better than any toy or any new shoes. It would heat the home, and cook and bake their meals, all at once. It would boil their water for baths and for coffee. There was a frying pan with the stove and an oven.

As we watched the choir sing and act around the imaginary stove, we could feel the unhappiness of emigration to sheer happiness in immigration – symbolized by a simple stove.

Though they would love their new land, they still left a part of their hearts in Sweden – as conveyed by letters written back and forth as often as the ships would carry.

It was a remarkable evening. And I do hope you’ll be able to come again when the choir comes again. The audience, led by me, forced them to say yes, or “ja.”

Before the concert, the largely Lutheran choir performed in our Mass (liturgy).

And between Mass and concert, the parishioners of St. Joe’s provided Scandinavian fare for all to enjoy. The only problem the choir director had was that we were serving the herring AFTER the Swedish meatballs, instead of the other way around – the proper Swedish way, that is.

Swedish. But with the brief explanation beforehand, and with concise gestures, everyone knew that the unhappiness of the farmers’ situation won the day by sheer numbers. The entire village knew what many had to do.

At one point in the concert, the choir actually surrounded the audience in a musical piece that was at once ethereal and somber, producing a feeling of homesickness, but also hope in a new beginning. This was perhaps the part of the concert that most people commented on and truly enjoyed.

In Minnesota, the Swedish immigrants would live through winters tougher than anything Nordic Sweden experiences. But they had land. They could make a living.

They had something to eat.

Stronger state bullying law would protect students

by Don Heinzman SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Bullying in schools is real and needs to be addressed.

There’s a bill in the Minnesota Legislature that would define bullying and prescribe how school administrators should respond to a bullying complaint. Critics say the state should get out of solving bullying problems, while proponents say the state’s present 37-word bullying law doesn’t go far enough in giving directions on how to lessen the problem.

Gov. Mark Dayton, when asked his view, skirted answering what kind of antibullying bill he’d sign, but acknowledged he prefers that it be handled at the local level using common sense as the guide.

The fact is that students in this country are being bullied more than we imagined, according to research. Added to the problem is cyberbullying, in which kids can be bullied online by accusers who sometimes

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Don Heinzman remain anonymous. What’s more serious, a study shows, is that students who are victims of bullying are twice as likely to commit suicide.

Bill author Sen. Scott Dibble says thousands of students in Minnesota stay at home because of the way they are treated in school.

One basic question the Legislature needs to decide is, What exactly is bullying? How does it differ from harassment and teasing?

And then what should be done about it?

Many years ago, parents told their kids

to shrug it off and just fight back. That was easier said than done.

The Minnesota story on bullying began in a school district where a parent of a son, who committed suicide allegedly because he was taunted, complained to school authorities. She claimed the school didn’t act fast enough on her complaints about bullying.

Eventually the issue grew over concern that the school culture failed to address bullying of students of different genders, sexual orientations and ethnic origins.

The concern reached the halls of the Legislature, where a weak statute was enacted. The law is said to be one of the weakest state bullying laws in the country.

Now the Legislature is attempting to define bullying as more than just teasing in school halls.

After some changes, the definition is a pattern of intimidating, threatening, abusive or harming conduct. It can’t be just one incident; it has to be repeated. The bul-

lying must substantially interfere with the student’s opportunity to learn and receive services and privileges from the school.

The bill has been amended with some of the original provisions removed, including one that would have allowed the state commissioner of education to withhold state aid from schools that fail to follow the new bullying law. School employees, volunteers and new staff members must undergo bullying training, just as they do for other challenging behaviors.

There are times when people prefer the government stay out of the local school district’s business. This should not be one of those times. A more defined law is needed.

It is needed to protect all students – period.

Area school districts, charters honored for financial performance

by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A Minnesota Department of Education’s School Finance Award will never compete with “March Madness” for public attention. But MDE has recently given 69 percent of Minnesota’s traditional districts and 80 percent of Minnesota charter public schools an award that measures solid accomplishment and merits public praise.

In the southern and western metro area, winners included the districts of Bloomington, Burnsville-Eagan-Savage, Buffalo-Hanover, Columbia Heights, Delano, Eden Prairie, Edina, Farmington, Hopkins, Lakeville, Minnetonka, Mounds View, Orono, Osseo, Richfield, Rockford, Rosemount Apple ValleyEagan, St. Louis Park, St. Francis, Waconia, Watertown-Mayer, Wayzata, Westonka, and the charters of Beacon Prep and Seven Hills in Bloomington, Global Academy in Columbia Heights, EXCELL Academy in Brooklyn Park, Main Street charter in Hopkins, International Spanish Academy charter in

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Joe Nathan Minnetonka, Partnership Academy in Richfield, Paideia Academy in Apple Valley, Sage Academy in Brooklyn Park, and Cologne Academy in Cologne.

The complete list of districts and charters receiving the award is available at http://bit.ly/1gwBYqM. I asked Tom Melcher, MDE’s director of school finance, what the public should conclude about districts and charters that received this award. Many educators and legislators regard Melcher, who has worked 35 years with MDE, as the Minnesotan who knows the most about school funding. Melcher also is known as a person to be trusted.

What does he think the award represents?

He explained to me that this is the

10th year MDE has made the report available. Melcher said the districts and charters receiving the award “are doing a good job with timely financial reporting to the state. They are fiscally strong and are maintaining positive fund balances in all their accounts.”

What about those districts that did not receive the award?

“There are a small number of districts that are running deficits,” he said.

“Those districts need to get back ‘into the black.’ The majority of districts that did not receive the award missed reporting deadlines. The department would appreciate getting those reports on time so that MDE can publish reports from Legislature and public on a timely basis.”

Criteria for receiving the award include fulfilling MDE requirements in three basic categories: • Submitting financial information on time and complying with Minnesota statutes.

• Showing specific signs of fiscal health.

• Demonstrating accurate financial reporting.

Details are here: http://bit.ly/ NSKHa4.

Melcher mentioned that the number of districts and charters receiving the award has increased over the last decade.

That’s in part because the MDE staff no longer requires a formal application for the award. It’s also because more schools are submitting timely, accurate reports and are operating “in the black.” Now, state staffers simply check to see which districts and charters are meeting the criteria. That seems like a wise decision at MDE because it saves educators’ time.

MDE wisely recognizes solid financial performance along with accurate reports, submitted on time. These are not the only ways to judge the work of a district or charter.

But they help give the public more information — important information — about how well our taxes are being used.

Housing on 472 acres is planned in Lakeville Mattamy Homes proposes to build 970 upscale houses

by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Mattamy Homes, Canada’s largest home builder, this week announced plans for a major development in Lakeville that will usher in even more building opportunities along Cedar Avenue.

By next spring, Mattamy Homes plans to start development for 970 upscale homes on a 472-acre site along Cedar Avenue.

The size and scope of the high-end housing project was the focus of a rare joint meeting with the Lakeville Planning Commission, Economic Development Commission, Parks and Recreation Committee and City Council on March 31.

Daren Laberee, Mattamy Homes land development manager, said the company will invest hun-

jacent parcels along Cedar Avenue.

Incorporated into the development plans is a 67-acre public park that Mielke compared to King Park or Aronson Park.

Little called the park concept “exciting,� and said it could include more fields for baseball, softball, soccer or lacrosse.

The project will also allow for the extension of 185th Street between Highview Avenue and Cedar Avenue, a major piece of the plans for the road to be an east-west connection from Cedar to I-35. “All that’s left is a threequarter mile stretch between Highview (Avenue) and Dodd (Boulevard),� city Community and Economic Development Director Dave Olson said.

A new north-south city collector road is proposed through the project to connect from County Road 50 to Highview Avenue. Also proposed is the realignment of Dodd Boulevard

to a more east-west direction to meet 179th Street at the stop light.

Laberee said Mattamy is planning the development to include 704 single-family homes, 138 row townhomes and 128 “age-targeted detached townhomes.� The detached townhomes are intended for seniors and designed as single-familystyled homes with all mowing, plowing, siding maintenance and trash removal provided through a homeowners association.

Homes are estimated to cost between $350,000 and $500,000, with lots that are 55 feet to 75 feet wide, some that may feature wooded backyards.

Laberee said the company envisions the development will attract higherincome executives with families and plans to build several private parks and a fitness center for residents’ use.

The development will feature a greenway next to tributaries that flow

through the land, and Laberee said there may be several play areas along the linear parkland.

City officials praised the project and expressed excitement about the plans. “This is another exciting development for Lakeville,�

Little said. “It provides new options for those looking to move to Lakeville or those wanting to stay. “Economically speaking, the overall project will increase enrollment in our schools, provide construction jobs for eight to 10 years and infuse revenue into the budget so we can keep up with growth and keep taxes low.�

City staff also indicated support for the development. “We’re just very excited about this project and happy that they’ve chosen Lakeville to develop it in,� city Planning Director Daryl Morey said.

AV man charged in Burnsville educator’s traffic death Ketcher worked in Chineseimmersion program

by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Burnsville resident Elizabeth Pan-Chung-Ping Ketcher had been driving to work in the Minnetonka Public Schools since May 2009.

Her morning commute on Sept. 24, 2013, was her last.

A paraprofessional in the Chinese-language immersion program, Ketch-

Elizabeth Ketcher er, 58, was three and a half miles from Excelsior Elementary School when her Toyota Corolla was struck

by a Ford 250 pickup.

Now the truck’s driver is accused of being under the influence of illegal drugs when he pulled into an intersection against a red light and rammed the driver’s side of Ketcher’s car.

Darvin Roy Basche, 50, of Apple Valley, was charged March 25 in Hennepin County with criminal vehicular homicide while driving with drugs in his system.

Basche has a criminal history in Minnesota, with open-bottle and recklessdriving convictions in 1991, a DUI conviction in 1992 and a fifth-degree

controlled-substance conviction in 1999.

The crash occurred at 7:45 a.m. at the intersection of Highway 7 and County Road 101 in Minnetonka. The Taiwanese-born Ketcher, a popular staff member in Minnetonka’s Chineselanguage program, died at 9:04 a.m.

According to the criminal complaint, Basche was stopped for a red light in a northbound lane of County Road 101 when the lights “cycled,� changing eastbound Highway 7 traffic to red and adding a green arrow for cars turning onto southbound 101.

Basche, upon the cycle change, “immediately pulled into the intersection despite his light remaining red,� the complaint said.

Two cars turning with the green arrow pulled out briefly but stopped as Basche accelerated past.

Ketcher, driving westbound on Highway 7, entered the green-lighted intersection at about 38 mph. Basche’s much larger vehicle had reached about 21 mph when it struck her driver’s-side door. “The force of the impact pushed defendant’s pickup far enough into Ms. Ketcher’s cabin that neither her engaged seat

belt nor her deployed air bags could save her,� the complaint said.

Ketcher’s car then struck two others. The drivers and passengers weren’t injured.

Basche could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted.

‘An anchor for our program’ Ketcher was educated in Taiwan, earning a bachelor’s degree in economics. There she met her late husband, the Rev. Rodney Ketcher, a church missionary from the United See CHARGE, 7A

Joining her husband in missionary work, Ketcher later returned to Taiwan, teaching English to Chinese adults and children.

Returning again to the United States, she became a substitute teacher in Chinese at Breck School before joining the Minnetonka district. “She was an anchor for our program,� Excelsior Elementary Principal Lee Drolet said in an email. Excelsior is one of

the district’s two Chineseimmersion sites.

Ketcher was a reserve teacher who substitutetaught in the program nearly every day before joining Excelsior as a paraprofessional in September, Drolet said. “She was so diligent about coming to school, even when it was scary weather,� Drolet said.

Ketcher served as a long-term substitute during the kindergarten teacher’s maternity leave, and assisted the teacher as a paraprofessional this past fall, Drolet said. “Elizabeth was seen to

the children in that classroom as a second teacher, and they referred to her as ‘Pan Laoshi,’ Pan being her Chinese name, Laoshi meaning teacher,� Drolet said.

Having seen her work with the class many times, Drolet said Ketcher “was filled with energy, happiness and enthusiasm when she taught the kindergartners.�

Payment arrangements for natural gas customers Natural gas customers of Minnesota Energy Resources who have fallen behind on their natural gas bills and not made apparent attempts to catch up will soon face disconnection of service, according to company representatives. The company reports a significant rise in the number of customers who are behind on their utility bill, likely due to the harsh winter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those customers that

have made efforts to pay over the winter or have worked out a payment arrangement with us shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be concerned,â&#x20AC;? said Jeff Larson, external affairs manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, customers who have neglected to make significant payments during the winter and who expect the company to give them additional time to bring their account current could face disconnection.â&#x20AC;?

Minnesota Energy Resources disconnected service to nearly 10,000 customers in 2013.

Customers with past-due balances should immediately take steps to pay the bill in full or setup a payment arrangement by calling 800-401-6402 to use the interactive voice response system or by visiting www. minnesotaenergyresources. com to make a payment or setup arrangements.

Customers who believe they may qualify for lowincome energy assistance should contact their local agency to apply before funds are depleted. A list by county is also available on the Minnesota Energy Resources website. Customers who have a Cold Weather Rule payment plan will soon receive a letter reminding them the agreement will ex-

pire on April 15.

Resilient Communities Project partners with Rosemount to advance community sustainability The University of Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Resilient Communities Project has selected the city of Rosemount as its partner community for the 201415 academic year. The partnership will bring the expertise of hundreds of graduate students and the university to sustainability-related projects identified by Rosemount city staff and community partners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we plan for Rosemountâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a top goal of the City Council to work toward the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s environmental, financial and cultural health,â&#x20AC;? said Rosemount Mayor Bill Droste. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be a great advantage to consult with the University of Minnesota on ways to make Rosemount a more sustainable community for our growing and diverse population.â&#x20AC;?

RCP organizes yearlong partnerships between the University of Minnesota and Minnesota communities.

Each academic year, RCP chooses a community partner through a competitive request-forproposal process, helps identify potential projects based on community-identified sustainability issues and needs, and matches the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s project needs with

University of Minnesota courses.

The program was launched during the 2013-14 school year, when RCP worked with Minnetonka on 14 projects that engaged 25 classes and more than 200 students across eight colleges at the University of Minnesota. Student work helped the city to advance initiatives to reduce phosphorous and sediment pollution in local lakes and rivers, evaluate and improve local housing assistance programs, plan for transit-oriented development around future light-rail stations, reduce traffic congestion, and increase engagement with local residents. RCP is concluding its current academic year partnership with North St. Paul, which has matched more than 40 courses and 300 students with 17 projects, from implementing a â&#x20AC;&#x153;living streetsâ&#x20AC;? policy and creating environmental education programming for local parks to helping residents age in place and promoting redevelopment and pedestrian improvements in the downtown business district.

The partnership provides the community with access to students from a wide range of pro-

grams and disciplines â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from architecture, planning and engineering to business, environmental sciences and the humanities. Through work with RCP, the community is able to enhance its own capacity to advance sustainability. Students who participate in RCP projects benefit from realworld opportunities to apply their knowledge and training and bring energy, enthusiasm and innovative approaches to address local issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are looking forward to working with Rosemount as our next community partner,â&#x20AC;? said RCP director and Humphrey School of Public Affairs associate professor Carissa Schively Slotterback. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal showed a clear commitment to advancing sustainability and resilience and outlined a wide range of projects that will provide tremendous communityengaged learning opportunities for University of Minnesota students.â&#x20AC;?

Rosemountâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winning proposal identifies 40 projects for which the city would like assistance, including affordable and multigenerational housing, neighborhood and resident engagement, recreational programming for

youth, services for new immigrant communities, open space restoration, turf management, community gardens, public art, employee wellness and staffing, alternative and renewable energy, climate adaptation, energy and water conservation, storm water management, business clustering and economic development, green business parks and transportation planning.

Staff from RCP and Rosemount will begin working this spring to define the scope of the projects and match them with courses offered at the university in fall 2014 and spring 2015.

RCP program manager Mike Greco will administer the partnership on behalf of the university, and Kim Lindquist, Rosemount community development director, will coordinate the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participation in the program.

RCP is an initiative of the Sustainability Faculty Network at the University of Minnesota, with funding and administrative support provided by the Center for Urban and Regional Affairs and the Institute on the Environment.

Sports Notebook: Expect a flood of postponements on June 28 at St. Cloud State University.

All players with Dakota County connections will play for the South all-stars, who will play the North team in the annual game featuring top seniors from the 2013 high school season.

Conner Yepsen of state Class 6A runner-up Rosemount will play for the South, as will Lakeville North running back Jamiah Newell, Lakeville South linebacker Tyler Lattery, Farmington kicker Reid Taubenheim, Eastview linebacker Jacob Bechstein, Apple Valley offensive lineman Tyler Rolland, Eastview offensive lineman Joey Marinello, Lakeville South defensive end Alex Hoffman and Apple Valley defensive lineman Lord Josh Hyeamang.

In what seems like a repeat of 2013 – because it is – the first few days of April were filled with postponed and rescheduled high school sporting events.

In part because of snow on the ground and in part because of more foul weather predicted for the end of this week, most events were rescheduled, or just canceled.

Lakeville North’s boys and girls track teams were to kick off their outdoor season at Farmington on Tuesday, but cold weather prevented that from happening. The first round of South Suburban Conference baseball and softball games were scheduled for Friday, but all have been postponed. That includes a softball game between Burnsville and Lakeville South that featured two new head coaches – Pat Feely for Burnsville, returning to the position after coaching the Blaze to back-to-back state championships in 2004 and 2005, and Lakeville South’s Rob Laden.

The Burnsville-Lakeville South game is rescheduled for April 10 at Burnsville.

Eastview and Bloomington Jefferson pushed back their scheduled baseball opener from Friday to 4 p.m. Saturday, but that seems iffy at best because of the forecast for snow Thursday and Friday.

Spreading the language of basketball Clinic owner helped teach the sport on island off Honduras

by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Like many places in the Caribbean, the island of Roatan is a thriving tourist destination with a desperately poor native population.

It’s popular among scuba divers, which is why Brian Ammann first went there eight years ago. When he returned in March, he brought supplies to help the locals not only further their education, but feed their interest in basketball, a growing sport on the island.

Eight pallets of donated items went with Ammann, a Lakeville resident, on what was a combined humanitarian trip and vacation. Donations ranged from backpacks to hold school supplies, to bicycles, to an electronic basketball scoreboard, which Ammann said is the first one on the island.

Ammann, who owns the Minnesota School of Basketball, ran clinics for the local players for several days. He still had time to make 23 dives off the cost of Roatan, one of the Bay Islands that are part of Honduras.

Local high school basketball programs including the Apple Valley, Eagan, Eastview, Rosemount, Farmington and Lakeville South boys and girls teams, donated items for the mission. Even if

it was used gear, it was a vast improvement over what the local players had, Ammann said.

It’s not uncommon for basketball players in Roatan to have to share shoes, Ammann said. If one player comes out of a game or practice, he would leave his shoes on the court so the player coming in could wear them.

“We were able to come down there with about 800 pairs of shoes,” Ammann said.

By what Ammann described as “happenstance,” he found out about World Youth Movement, an organization founded by Byron, Minn., native Courtney Lenox.

Lenox lived on Roatan for six years as her organization worked to get resources to at-risk youth.

One of the things she did was organize a basketball program, which now has two teams. The older of the two teams won a tournament in Tegucigalpa, the Honduras capital, and five of its players received scholarships to continue their education at private schools on the mainland.

Ammann collaborated with World Youth Movement to get the supplies to the island. It wasn’t just about basketball, though.

“School supplies are really needed there,” Ammann said. “The problem is they don’t have any money. Kids get one notebook, for every subject, for the whole school year. Up until last year, they only went through sixth grade, although they

go through n i n t h g r a d e now.”

Stories such as that resonated with Brian M e l i s s a Ammann Guebert, a School District 196 teacher and head coach of the state Class 4A champion Eastview girls basketball team. Her team was one of those that donated items for the relief effort.

“Living here, I think it’s hard for kids to understand what it’s like to literally have nothing,” Guebert said.

Getting the supplies to Roatan was a difficult task in itself. First it had to be taken by truck to Miami, then put on a boat to the island. A parent of one of Ammann’s basketball students is paying the transport costs.

The work wasn’t done once the supplies reached the island. Ammann said Honduras customs officials demanded $1,300 before they would allow the cargo to be unloaded.

When that was paid, they asked for $1,000 more.

Ammann and others involved in the relief effort balked at the second demand and the customs officials relented.

Ammann said the Roatan youth are enthusiastic about basketball but need guidance.

“The level of basketball isn’t to where it is in the United States, but it’s improving,” said Ammann, a former men’s basketball coach at Augsburg

College. “From working with the kids, I found that their ball-handling skills were very good. There were some kids there who could really handle the basketball.

“Most of them have never run an offense because they haven’t been exposed to coaching. It’s all freelance. They’re athletic and like to get to the rim but they’re a little reluctant to shoot from outside because they’re not as successful at that. They need some help developing their mechanics. What they know about shooting is what they’ve seen from watching the NBA on TV, and 90 percent of the players there want to get to the rim and dunk.

About 10 percent of the players in the NBA are actually good shooters.”

Eventually, the goal is to place some Roatan players on American junior college teams, Ammann said. But if basketball gives them access to a better education on the mainland, that too will be a success, he said.

It would be difficult to come back to the same people year after year for donations, but Ammann said he is considering making a Roatan relief effort an every-other-year venture.

Besides, he said, it’s time to go back to work.

“The last few weeks I spent more time on this than I did on my real job,” he said.

Fasching stars for Frozen Four-bound Gophers Former AVHS player named team’s top rookie

by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Hudson Fasching has had an eventful first season with the University of Minnesota men’s hockey team, to understate the case.

After two seasons at

Next week, Fasching and the Gophers will play at the NCAA Frozen Four in Philadelphia.

“As a kid growing up, a Minnesota kid watching the Gophers, so far it’s been everything I ever imagined,” Fasching said during last weekend’s West Regional tournament at Xcel Energy Center, where the Gophers defeated Robert Morris 7-3 and St. Cloud State 4-0 to earn a place in the Frozen Four.

Fasching, who scored a goal against Robert Mor-

ris, is sixth on the team in scoring with 29 points and fourth in goals with 13.

The Burnsville resident played two seasons of varsity hockey and one year of varsity soccer at Apple Valley High School, helping the Eagles reach the Class AA boys hockey tournament in 2010 and playing on their state championship soccer team later that year.

Choice is in at Burnsville food shelf New model helps 360 Communities get closer to clients

by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Business as usual was suspended Monday, March 31, at the 360 Communities food shelf in Burnsville.

The food shelf is still busy, serving 15 to 20 households every weekday. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the way people are served that has changed.

360 Communities, a Burnsville-based nonprofit serving Dakota County residents, has switched to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;choiceâ&#x20AC;? model for the food shelf at its Burnsville Family Resource Center on East Highway 13.

The new model allows clients to â&#x20AC;&#x153;shopâ&#x20AC;? for their food items while encouraging more interaction with staffers and volunteers who might steer them toward other needed services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have choices in a time where it feels like most things are out of control.

It gives you that sense of control,â&#x20AC;? said Anika Rychner, 360â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of selfsufficiency. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think most importantly, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s giving us more of an opportunity to build relationships and trust with people weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re serving.â&#x20AC;?

The Burnsville food shelf, one of five in Dakota County run by 360, used to prepackage food orders that clients would pick up by appointment.

Now the appointment includes shopping. Volunteers, known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;personal shoppers,â&#x20AC;? are on hand to explain clientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; food choices and show them around the supermarket-style shelves, refrigerators and freezers.

With the change, 360 has also improved the intake process for food-shelf clients, Rychner said. Being short of cash to buy food often isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t their only problem. 360 also offers services around domestic violence, sexual assault, success in school and building longterm sufficiency. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where we get to the heart of the matter,â&#x20AC;?

Rychner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because food brings people to our door, but when people need

Kelly Jansen, of Burnsville, inspected her â&#x20AC;&#x153;shopping menuâ&#x20AC;? March 31, the day the 360 Communities food shelf in Burnsville debuted its new â&#x20AC;&#x153;choiceâ&#x20AC;? model. (Photo by John Gessner) food, they usually need other kinds of support that we are able to offer.â&#x20AC;?

One of Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visitors was 54-year-old Kelly Jansen, of Burnsville. She was given a flat cart for her groceries and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;shopping menu.â&#x20AC;?

Jansen said using the food shelf is part of getting her life back together after her physically abusive husband shot and killed himself in November 2011, leaving her with unpaid bills. Jansen said she has also used 360â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lewis House domestic violence shelter and told her story to clients there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am a long ways from where I was,â&#x20AC;? Jansen said, radiating optimism.

Other Monday clients included a nervous firsttimer who shopped for his family of five and had to be prodded to take everything allotted him based on family size, Rychner said.

Another first-timer, who had lost her job, had trouble reading her shopping menu through her tears, Rychner said. A volunteer came to help.

The choice model is a dignity-booster in a foodshelf setting, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very much a best practice among food shelves all over the metro

area,â&#x20AC;? Rychner said.

The food-shelf space in Burnsville was rearranged to accommodate the new model. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just like in a grocery store, you have cans that are lined up and labels facing forward,â&#x20AC;? Rychner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anything we can do to make people feel as comfortable as possible.â&#x20AC;?

Two new refrigerators and two new freezers were bought with help from the Burnsville Noon and Breakfast Rotary Clubs, which contributed $8,000 after landing a grant from the Hunger-Free Minnesota campaign.

Volunteer staffers at the food shelf, which is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays, typically include two personal shoppers, two stock workers and two warehouse workers, Rychner said.

360â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lakeville food shelf, a partnership with Messiah Lutheran Church, may also adopt the choice model, Rychner said.

rently evaluating the service.

DARTS will deliver rides in and between six cities in Dakota County â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Farmington, Apple Valley, Lakeville, Burnsville, Eagan and Rosemount â&#x20AC;&#x201D; three days a week, Tuesday through Thursday, and eight hours a day, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

All ride destinations within those cities will be eligible and riders will voluntarily contribute a suggested fare based on income, ranging from $3.50 to $7.50 each way.

No one will be denied a ride due to inability to pay. A driver, who will be assigned to the same route each day, will assist riders from their homes to their destination in a bus equipped with a wheelchair lift.

The driver will help carry shopping bags and assist riders getting in and out of the vehicle.

Residents will call the reservation registration voice mail line at 651234-2281 to schedule rides at least two days in advance. If a resident needs a companion to ride for assistance beyond what the driver can provide, that companion may ride for free.

DARTS estimates that more than 7,000 residents may benefit from this service. Studies from the Metropolitan Area Agency on Aging show that one in five older adults does not drive, and public transportation in suburban Dakota County can be challenging to those without personal automobiles.

DEW DAYS, from 1A in Farmington, will sponsor activities for children through teens. Many of those activities will require prior registration, so check the Dew Days website, www.farmingtondewdays.com, for updates.

He will also offer childwatching services during Flavors of Farmington so parents can enjoy the event.

After premiering at Dew Days last year, the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s softball tournament is again scheduled for Saturday, June 21, and Sunday, June 22. This year, the tournament will be played on the new Empire Softball Fields off Highway 3.

Donnelly said the Dew Days Committee has been working hard. It took a

one-month break after last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dew Days but then got right back to work.

The tent that houses many of the Dew Days activities will be even bigger than last year, to shield from both sun and the rain that usually shows up during Dew Days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rain, it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be Dew Days,â&#x20AC;?

Donnelly said.

Friday and Saturday nights will feature live bands. The bean bag tournament is growing in popularity so the committee plans to provide even more boards for team play with an earlier start time. Many of the events are free to the public. So mark your calendars for a fun time in Farmington. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If anybody comes down, they will not be bored or disappointed,â&#x20AC;?

Donnelly said.

ARLANDSON, from 1A

Minneapolis to help defray Arlandsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out-of-pocket medical expenses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She and I have become very close due to the contact weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had with her illness. We call each other â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hermanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that means â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in Spanish,â&#x20AC;? said Gayleen Asleson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine anyone could meet her and not want to help. This is something that no one plans for, and it really throws you for a loop.â&#x20AC;?

The benefit fundraiser is planned for 4-9 p.m. Sunday, April 6, at Devilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Advocate bar, 89 S. 10th St., Minneapolis. The event will include a silent auction, raffle drawings, cash bar, appetizers and music

County Board Chair Liz Workman, Burnsville, said the board will miss the â&#x20AC;&#x153;steady and practical approachâ&#x20AC;? Krause brought to its work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Paul is a man who says what he means and means what he says,â&#x20AC;? Workman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That kind of genuine, straightforward presence on the board has been invaluable to us all.â&#x20AC;?

Krause thanked constituents who voted for him over the years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got great people here in District 6,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can say nothing but good things about Lakeville.â&#x20AC;?

New building for dance academy

Luther Jazz Orchestra in Apple Valley

Ballet Royale Minnesota dance academy is constructing a new independent building in Lakeville on Kenrick Avenue just south of County Road 46, across the freeway (I35) from its current location. Ballet Royale is also the official school of the nonprofit ballet company, Twin Cities Ballet of Minnesota, which will also be housed in the new building. The building will have almost twice the space (approximately 8,600 square feet) of the current facility. Three large dance studios plus a fourth smaller Pilates and supplemental studio will all feature natural light, 14-plus feet ceilings, in-floor radiant heat, and a state-of-the-art sprung dance floor system. The building will also include a convertible rehearsal and performance space, Wi-Fi counters, spacious womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dressing room with en suite restroom, staff room, storage and free parking. The building is scheduled to be completed this summer in time for Ballet Royaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s July four-week Summer Intensive program. (Photo submitted)

Thisweekend Expressions returns with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dixie Swim Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Some horror stories Comedy opens April 4 in Lakeville are all too real Burnsville man chronicles domestic hell in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Liesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lakeville-based Expressions Community Theater is bringing Southern comedy to the south metro with its latest production. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Dixie Swim Club,â&#x20AC;? which runs April 4-13 at the Lakeville Area Arts Center, follows five Southern women who became friends on a college swim team and reunite every August at a beach cottage to laugh, catch up and meddle in each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives.

This is the second time Expressions, a theater troupe specializing in comedies, has staged â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Dixie Swim Club.â&#x20AC;?

The group first presented the show in 2011. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was so well-received and so well-loved that we wanted to bring it back,â&#x20AC;? said Annie Estes of Rosemount, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s directing the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current incarnation.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a situationcomedy feel to the production, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no surprise given the writing team behind the play.

The trio of dramatists includes Jamie Wooten, whose credits include epi-

The play focuses on four weekends spanning 33 years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at ages 44, 49, 54 and 77. Expressions is employing makeup and wigs to give the actors the look of septuagenarians for the final scenes.

The draw of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Dixie Swim Club,â&#x20AC;? Es-

tes said, is the bonds the women develop as the audience observes them through the years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The friendship is the sixth character in this show,â&#x20AC;? Estes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard not to get a connection to these characters.â&#x20AC;?

The five-member cast includes Beth Adams, Bonnie Rae Backer, Rosi

Braatz, Susan Dempsey and Deb Klingberg.

O.A. Matthews tells a nightmarish tale in â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lies.â&#x20AC;?

The scariest part, according to the pseudonymous Burnsville author, is that every ugly scene chronicled therein is true.

At turns sad, depressing and frightening, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Liesâ&#x20AC;? is Matthewsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; account of how a malicious ex-girlfriendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s years of lies and harassment destroyed his relationship with his adopted daughter.

Matthews, a transit bus driver in Dakota County, said he walked away from the relationship with the girlfriend after years of relationship hell, in which minor arguments would snowball into false allegations of domestic violence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At some point, she started pretending to be attacked by me,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every time there was an argument, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll call the cops and tell them youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re beating me.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;?

From there, things only got worse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Liesâ&#x20AC;? is not a sunny read, filled as it is with accounts of contentious court hearings, no-contact orders and mean-spirited skullduggery.

In the book, all names have been changed, and Matthews asked that his real name not be published in Sun Thisweek in order to protect the identity of his daughter, now 12 years old.

Matthews said he wrote the book not for literary fame or fortune, but

because he felt the story needed to be told. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Part of the reason I wrote the book is I wanted friends and family to know what was going on â&#x20AC;&#x201D; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d heard bits and pieces over the years,â&#x20AC;?

Matthews said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also want my daughter to know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a bad dad, that I left because I just felt threatened,â&#x20AC;? he said, noting that he no longer has contact with his daughter for fear it will open the door to further harassment from his ex. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It kills me not being able to see my daughter grow up, but at this point I just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to put myself in a position to be arrested on a false charge,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m afraid to lose everything over a lie.â&#x20AC;?

Published last year, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Liesâ&#x20AC;? is available on Amazon. More about the book is at http:// amotherslies.com.
