on if it might be best for the overall community to aggregate the funds in one project for the betterment of the community. “That might be closer to the true intent of the agreement,� he said.

Rural Dakota County homeowners are grappling with rising heating costs in the midst of one of the coldest winters in decades. Propane fuel prices have hit historic highs, said Steve Sargeant, vice president and general manager

of Lakes Gas Company, which provides propane throughout Minnesota and the upper Midwest. He said prices have climbed from $1.69 per gallon to over $5 per gallon since December. “This is unprecedented,� Sargeant said. “And the supply is extremely difficult.�

Gov. Mark Dayton and some Minnesota lawmakers recently requested immediate action by President Obama’s administration regarding the nation’s propane shortage, which started when a major pipeline was closed last fall. While supply dropped, demand rose as the wet fall forced farmers to use

more of the gas than usual to dry corn crops. Before reserves could rebuild, subzero temperatures hit and stayed, increasing demand for heating and significantly drawing down propane inventories, said Lakeville River Country Co-op manager Ray Bohl. Dayton, U.S. Sens. Al

Moose are graceful for their size. Wolverines are feisty. Rats? They aren’t rare, endangered or expensive to replace, said Dr. Rachel Thompson, an associate veterinarian at the Minnesota Zoo in Apple Valley. Thompson’s favorite animals include moose and wolverines, but she won’t play favorites with any of the zoo’s more than 4,000 residents. The Burnsville resident spent a recent morning operating on a rat who is part of a rat crew that provides “comic relief � by scampering across the stage during the zoo’s bird show. Thompson spayed the female patient and removed her ovaries and uterus to stop blood loss through her reproductive tracts. “She’s just as important as any other animals,� said Thompson, who considers all zoo animals ambassadors for their species and the zoo’s mission. Thompson, 34, came to the zoo six years ago. She moved to Burnsville in August 2012 with husband Aaron, dog Riley and cat Elsie. A full-time associate vet, she’s part of a crew that includes senior veterinarian Jim Rasmussen and part-time associate Tiffany Wolf. “We have a pretty comprehensive medical program for all the animals at the zoo,� Thompson said. “They get lifelong medical care free of charge. ... We provide a very high standard of care compared to maybe what people would even think of for themselves.� Hailing from Sioux Falls, S.D., Thompson did

I went into college knowing that was what I wanted to do.� She was introduced to zoo medicine as a speciality by a college advisor who did artificial insemination work with elephants. “I started getting exposed to the conservation work and more overarching elements of zoo medicine,� Thompson said. “I really became interested in that and developed a passion for the conservation and education compo-

nents that go along with that.� Most zoos — including the Minnesota Zoo — consider it part of their mission to promote preservation of plant and animal species and conservation of wild and natural spaces, Thompson said. “If you get to experience seeing these animals in Minnesota they mean more to you, so that you might make more effort in your personal life — whether it’s by recycling, using less water, using less resources in general, contributing to projects, or maybe donating money to help with a specific conservation project, whether it’s a specific species or adopting a park,� Thompson said. Most zoo animals are born under human care, she noted. “It’s not like they were plucked out of the wilds and introduced to an environment that’s very different,� she said. “That (the zoo) is all they’ve known. And they serve as ambas-

sadors for their wild counterparts.� Picking a favorite animal is as hard as picking a favorite child, Thompson said. “I love working with the moose,� she said. “I really like the wolverines as well. They’re feisty, very dynamic little creatures, and you don’t get to see them in a lot of collections. Ours is unique in that we have wolverines.� Moose are “amazing,� Thompson said, graceful and fast-moving despite their bulk. She has worked on a Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa project to collect data on Minnesota’s dwindling moose population. Thompson administered anesthesia to immobilized animals so researchers could draw biological samples from them. “I did it last year,� she said. “I’m eight months pregnant, so I can’t ride in the helicopter this year.� John Gessner can be reached at 952-846-2031 or email john.gessner@ecm-inc.com.

Bonding request includes local projects Zoo, technical college work up for discussion by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Funds for two stateowned sites in Dakota County were included in Gov. Mark Dayton’s bonding request that was released this month. If approved, the Minnesota Zoo would receive $12 million for renovations, repairs and a new exhibit, and Dakota County Technical College would receive about $5 million to complete the Transportation and Emerging Technologies project. It’s anyone’s guess if the funds will be approved in full as DFLers and Republicans will dissect the requests after the session begins Feb. 25. Sen. Greg Clausen, DFL-Apple Valley, said in all likelihood the $986 million in requests will be trimmed down. “At this time, it is difficult to identify projects which may be eliminated or reduced,� he said. “It is my hope and goal that the Min-

Minnesota Zoo officials will be back at the State Capitol again this legislative session to lobby for approval of funds requested through the bonding bill. Sen. Carrie Ruud, R-Breezy Point, (above) looked at a slow loris during a 2013 capitol visit by the zoo’s Kevin Weir. (Sun Thisweek file photo) nesota Zoo and Dakota County Technical College project allocations remain intact through the legislative process.� Rep. Pat Garofalo, RFarmington, said he didn’t see the need for the state to borrow another billion dollars since the state has a $1 billion surplus. “If these projects are needed, then government should pay cash for them as opposed to increasing the debt,� he said.

Dayton and Minnesota Zoo CEO Lee Ehmke on Dec. 17 to talk about the zoo’s request. He said the Senate Bonding Committee will tour the zoo in February. “My hope is that the committee will support the governor’s recommendation and allocate the full $12 million,� he said. The technical college in Rosemount request includes renovations to common instructional spaces and multi-use classrooms for the heavy truck program, heavy construction equipment program, and new emerging technology programs. Clausen said the DCTC project is in line with the governor’s emphasis on workforce training and is a Minnesota State Colleges and Universities priority as well. He said a bonding project such as this is an “investment in needed public infrastructure improvements and asset preservation projects, which will strengthen the Minnesota economy, provide better access to services and creates jobs.�

Garofalo said taxes were raised by over $2 billion last session. “Minnesota government has plenty of money without having to borrow more to spend,� he said. Included in the Minnesota Zoo’s request are Discovery Bay renovations, the opening of a new Hawaiian monk seals exhibit, repairs to the Upper and Lower Plaza, and additional essential repairs. Email Tad Johnson at Clausen said he met with tad.johnson@ecm-inc.com.

Capitol renovations are biggest slice of bonding pie by Mike Cook SESSION WEEKLY

Gov. Mark Dayton has whittled nearly $3 billion in requests into a capital investment, or bonding, proposal that totals just under one-third of that amount. His proposal includes $986 million in generalobligation bonding toward a $1.4 billion total investment. Local match requirements would make up the difference. “This proposal addresses many of our state’s critical infrastructure needs, while strengthening our economy and getting more people back to work,� Dayton said. He estimated the proposal would create more than 27,000 jobs. “If you don’t do these projects you don’t put people to work,� Dayton said, adding that high priority was given to projects that are “ready to go.� Of the governor’s proposal, 38 percent of fund-

ing would be for projects in the seven-county Twin Cities metropolitan area, 34 percent in Greater Minnesota and 28 percent would go for statewide programs. By investment area: 27 percent is for education, 24 percent for economic development, 15 percent for environment, 13 percent for State Capitol renovation, 12 percent for corrections and human services, 7 percent for transportation and transit and 1 percent for veterans and military affairs. The largest single investment, $126.3 million, would be to complete the State Capitol renovation. Workers are currently in the process of upgrading the 109-year-old building, including repairs to its façade and modernization of the mechanical, electrical, heating and plumbing systems. With the new money, restoration should be complete by the end of 2016. Higher education systems would receive $233

million worth of improvements, including $40 million in asset preservation for both the University of Minnesota and the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system, $74 million for additional infrastructure improvements at 17 MnSCU campuses, $56.7 million for the university’s Tate Laboratory of Physics building and $12 million in research laboratory space on the Twin Cities campuses. Among other aspects of Dayton’s proposal are: • $50 million for housing infrastructure and rehabilitation; • $17 million in transit investments; and • $12 million for economic development projects and grant programs. “Governor Dayton’s robust bonding bill demonstrates strategic investments in our state which will create thousands of jobs and support the continued growth of Minnesota’s economy,â€? Rep. Alice

Hausman, DFL-St. Paul, said in a statement. She chairs the House Capital Investment Committee. “This is an excellent start to the conversation and it’s extremely encouraging the governor has included many projects that have been in the queue for some time.â€? Rep. Matt Dean, RDellwood, the committee’s lead Republican, wasn’t as enthusiastic. “Today’s wish list is another example of Gov. Dayton asking hardworking Minnesotans to overpay for things they would never buy for their families or small businesses. ‌ The governor shouldn’t send hardworking taxpayers a credit card bill for his outof-touch spending,â€? Dean said in a statement.

Opinion Policymakers should be cautious with budget surplus The governor, legislators and Minnesota citizens all received good news in December. Minnesota Management and Budget, formerly known as the state Finance Department, in its most recent economic forecast projected an improvement in the state’s economic position of more than $1 billion for the current twoyear budget cycle. When the Legislature comes back into session late in February, this uptick in available revenue will generate a lot of attention from policymakers across the entire political spectrum. This will include those eager to increase spending, those eager to reduce taxes and many wanting to do both. Inasmuch as 2014 is an election year for the governor and all members of the House of Representatives, we can expect considerable political dimensions to the public policy deliberations surrounding budget matters. We urge policymakers to be cautious in approaching their fiscal responsibili-

ECM Editorial ties during the 2014 legislative session. In fact, we believe most, if not all, of this surplus should be added to the currently inadequate budget reserve. Past budget experiences should have taught everyone valuable lessons about state fiscal matters. Surpluses can evaporate quickly with economic downturns, and today’s actions can exacerbate tomorrow’s fiscal challenges. Remember the “Jesse Checks” employed to distribute the surplus of the late 1990s? By 2002, newly elected Gov. Tim Pawlenty was confronted by a record $4 billion deficit. The “forecast balance” of $1.086 billion projected this past December was immediately reduced by $261 million by operation of current law, almost all of which was to pay back state borrowings from school districts. This leaves a

“budgetary balance” of $825 million for consideration during the upcoming legislative session. It is important to note that the $825 million is not money on hand, but rather a balance projected to be on hand on June 30, 2015, 19 months from the time of the projection. While $825 million is a substantial sum, Minnesota’s two-year general fund operating budget is $39 billion. The projected $825 million budgetary balance amounts to a variance of slightly more than 2 percent. This relatively small variance could easily evaporate over the next 17 months. We would hope that Gov. Mark Dayton and legislators read the statement of Minnesota’s Council of Economic Advisors included within the official Budget and Economic Forecast released in December. The council observed that the “budget reserve remains well below the level bond rating agencies expect from

AAA-rated credits.” The council further noted that “Moody’s ratings guidelines indicate that AAA-rated states should have statutory reserves of at least 10 percent of current revenue.” Minnesota’s current reserves amount to 5.2 percent, the council noted. We know that legislators will face significant pressures to increase spending and reduce taxes with this remaining $825 million budget surplus. We urge, however, that they heed the cautionary advice of the Council of Economic Advisors. We would hope that policymakers take a longer-term perspective and restore better fiscal discipline in Minnesota’s financial affairs by avoiding spending increases and revenue reductions during the 2014 legislative session.

Seeking common ground may help improve schools by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Can the Minnesota Business Partnership, which focuses on making the best possible use of existing funds, and Parents United, which urges that more money be spent on Minnesota’s public schools, find things they agree on? Can the African American Leadership Forum, which represents more than a thousand Minnesotans, many deeply concerned about public schools, agree with what the Minnesota Association of School Administrators is suggesting? An intriguing new effort is hoping the answer to these questions is “yes.” I give former Minneapolis Mayor Don Fraser and former St. Paul Council of Churches Executive Director Grant Abbott considerable credit. Over the next few weeks, they are convening a variety of groups for public conversations that will be taped and available for viewing online at Minnesota Achievement Gap Committee website. Their goal is to improve Minnesota’s public schools, with a focus on reducing

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Joe Nathan the achievement gap. First, they want to find several things these groups agree on. Then they hope to work with the organizations to focus on agreements in ways that make a real, positive difference for Minnesota students. Fraser started the Achievement Gap Committee in 2007. He wanted to provide a forum for people to share their research, concerns, strategies and success in reducing the achievement gap. Over the years, teacher union presidents, university professors, district and charter educators, and a wide range of others described what they were doing. Despite their efforts, Minnesota has one of the nation’s largest gaps in high school graduation rates among students of different races. Abbott and Fraser

wanted to do more. So late last year, they began inviting a variety of groups to make brief, 15-minute presentations on a panel – with people they sometimes agreed with and sometimes disagreed with. Full disclosure: They asked me to be part of a panel that included Mary Cecconi, executive director of Parents United for Public Schools; Maureen Ramirez, policy and research director with Growth and Justice; and Chris Stewart, executive director of the African American Leadership Forum. The meeting, the first of three, was Jan. 21. Some of the talking points were: • Cecconi presented graphs illustrating her view that Minnesota should spend more money on K-12 education. She does not think more money is the total answer, but she definitely thinks it is part of what’s needed. More information is available at the Parents United website. • Ramirez explained that Growth and Justice has prepared reports showing key areas of what it describes as “strategic investment,” such as more high-quality early childhood education programs. • Stewart described what his organiza-

tion believes are five key gaps, including the “preparation gap” and the “belief ” gap. Read more about education gaps at headwatersfoundation.org/Closing_the_ Five_Education_Gaps. • I pointed to research about the value of strong early childhood programs for students from low-income families and of students taking dual-credit courses, the progress Minnesota has made and the need to do more. Over the next month, the committee will convene two more meetings to hear from other groups and then seek points of agreement. Cynics quote retired football coach Lou Holtz: “When all is said and done, a lot more is said than done.” Give Fraser and Abbott credit for taking on tough but important issues. They may not succeed. But they may. Joe Nathan, formerly a Minnesota public school teacher, administrator and PTA president, directs the Center for School Change. Reactions welcome, joe@centerforschoolchange.org.

Letters No new trails are necessary To the editor: In 2001 a Lebanon Hills Regional Park Master Plan was created with input by a stakeholders task force consisting of 13 park users and 13 representatives from affected surrounding municipalities. Development in the park is now being proposed with a new Master Plan backed by a majority of the Dakota County commissioners including the new chairwoman Liz Workman and vice chairman Tom Egan. The 2001 plan designated much of the park’s eastern section as the “preserve zone” with “development zones” located other areas. An asphalt connector trail is being proposed to traverse the park through the heart of this preserve zone under a new Master Plan. Many other new “soft trails” and features are being planned in the new proposal. The trouble is the “13 park users and 13 representatives,” or someone like them, have not been asked whether or not these new development schemes are wanted or necessary. At the open houses

in December and January, I was amazed at the clever presentation of the various proposals. With regard to the paved connector trails: the posters and discussions that were offered centered on which of the paved trails I might like, rather than asking the question: “Is a connector trail needed in Lebanon Hills Regional Park?” No new trails are necessary. Further trail development will further segment the park, inherently di-

minishing existing natural secluded areas. For Lebanon Hills, “progress” does not always mean more development. There is much need of natural habitat restoration, including the eradication of buckthorn. Real progress in this park would be to get the buckthorn situation under control. I’ve lost faith in the current manner in which the exchange of ideas is taking place. I do not believe the Dakota County commis-

sioners are really listening to the basic questions. I have lost confidence in the Dakota County commissioners that support the new Master Plan. It appears that meaningful, authoritative, citizen involvement is again necessary in this discussion, to bring the scale more in balance with the theme of preservation prevalent in the 2001 Master Plan. DALE FORD Eagan

Minimum wage increase would provide stability To the editor: Back in the 1920s Henry Ford began paying his employees enough for them to be able to buy the fruits of their labor, his early cars. Forty years later Congress raised the minimum wage enough to afford minimum wage workers enough to raise a family. Today there is debate about just that question. Proponents of an increase say the minimum of the 1960s would run over $30 per hour today, after accounting for

inflation. Opponents say that would merely reduce the availability of jobs in the market place. Some economists challenge that otherwise widely-accepted idea, saying the raise would immediately be reflected in pent-up demand in the markets for goods and services that would require more jobs. If we are to be a humane society, we must value the stability of families on a level that affords them a way to survive and care for children. This value is itself carried into the next generation. Children themselves must be equipped to care for their families through a decent education. An inhumane society would not care about the number of lowwage jobs it takes to put food onto the table. This debate must be resolved for the good of low-wage earners if our society is to retain a humane character. If we aim to preserve values which care for vulnerable people, which prepare people to do well, we must take steps to improve our economy by rewarding people who work. We must educate our young and give people the means to earn their way out of the poverty, which has grown faster and larger than in recent memory. LARRY KOENCK Eagan

Obermueller’s tax policies favor middleincome

while those for upperincome folks have grown very nicely. In terms of public policy, this may mean better-off taxpayers may need fewer tax breaks than the rest of us. But in fact, they’ve gotten more of them until recently. Mike Obermueller, candidate for Congress in the 2nd District, thinks we need to end tax subsidies for big oil companies and ask millionaires to pay their fair share. Millionaires tend to reply, “We actually pay most of the taxes. It’s for national security. If oil companies aren’t given every possible tax advantage, they might not supply us with enough gasoline.” Yet the most recent years have been offthe-charts for oil profits, increasing each year, and the Warren Buffett rule says rich folks should pay as high a percentage of their income as the rest of us, although they don’t just now. Obermueller’s got a point. Maybe it’s time to reduce the sweet tax breaks for the wealthy, and boost them for the rest of us. Economists say it could boost our economy’s demand, and small-business bottomlines, and employment as well. While this may not coincide with the wishes of the already-wealthy, it may follow the advice of Pope Francis. He recently wrote that if we don’t attack the structural causes of income “inequality, no solution will be found for the world’s problems.” The pope agrees with 2013 Nobel-prize-winning American economist, Robert Shiller, who believes our skewed income structure is “the most important problem that we are facing now today.” Mike Obermueller has substantial backing for his desire to change our tax policies.

To the editor: Have you felt like the price of everything has gone up, while your income has stagnated or fallen? The Census Bureau reports those feelings have basis in fact.

The calendar revisions were approved by the School Board at a special meeting Jan. 27. Under the revised calendar, all students will have school on Thursday, Feb. 13. That date had been scheduled as a day off for elementary and middle school students, for parent-teacher conferences. The first added day of school for high school students will be Friday, Feb. 14. That date had been scheduled as a day off for all students, but only elementary and middle school students will have Feb. 14 off under the revised calendar. The revised schedule for elementary and middle school conferences will be Feb. 12 and 13, from 4 to 8 p.m. both nights, and Feb.

14 from 8 a.m. to noon. The second added day of school for all students will be on Friday, March 14. That date had been scheduled as a staff development day for all levels, but will now be a day of school for all students. “We believe adding these two days for students is important given the unusual amount of instructional time that has been lost due to the weather cancellations,� said Superintendent Jane Berenz. “Having these additional days earlier in the calendar will provide for a better teaching and learning environment than adding them to the end of the school year.� District 196 and most other districts in the metro area have canceled school four times this month – Jan. 7, 23, 27 and 28 – due to the extreme cold temperatures and windchill warnings. Gov. Mark Dayton canceled school statewide on Jan. 6 due to the cold.

Paragon Outlet Partners, a Baltimore-based real estate development firm, announced more tenants for its 409,000-square-foot outlet center currently under construction in Eagan. The list released Jan. 23 includes Reebok, Old Navy, True Religion, Lucy, Talbots, Gymboree and Movado. With the latest group of tenants, the outlet center is 90 percent committed. The latest tenants are in addition to the list announced last summer: Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH, Coach Factory Store, Michael Kors, Cole Haan, Banana Republic Factory Store, Gap Factory Store, J. Crew, Polo

Ralph Lauren Factory Store, Adidas and Nike Factory Store, among others. The outlet center, which will serve the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, is the first major new development project within the Cedar Grove Redevelopment District. “Leasing has progressed at a rapid and rewarding pace,� Paragon Outlet Partners Principal Nicholas King said in a news release. “As the Twin Cities region’s newest outlet shopping center continues to take shape, we are delighted to welcome our newest tenants to our growing merchant community.� Construction of the outlet mall began in June 2013 and is expected to bring approximately 400

construction jobs. Paragon representatives expect the mall will bring up to 2,000 retail jobs to the area when it celebrates its grand opening this summer. The mall’s construction has spurred development in the Cedar Grove Redevelopment District including a hotel, and a housing and retail complex. Morrissey Hospitality Co., which manages the St. Paul Hotel, plans to build a 123-room hotel next to the outlet mall. Apple Valley developer Stonebridge Communities plans to build a four-story mixed-use building nearby. The proposed project includes 180 market-rate rental housing units combined with between 12,000 and 14,000 square feet of commercial space.

KENYA, from 1A college,� Lansing said, “to teach in developing countries. I thought this would be a great way to start that career.� Lansing was part of a group of Farmington High School students who attended We Day Minnesota on Oct. 8, 2013, at the Xcel Energy Center. We Day was an educational event that prompted young people to lead local and global change, and is part of the yearlong We Act Program. At the event, Lansing filled out a postcard indicating he was interested in participating in a youth volunteer mission and soon ME to We, an nonprofit that organizes youth volunteer trips, contacted him. The group was organizing a three-week trip to Kenya from July to August and asked if he wanted to join the trip. After persuading his parents, Heidi and Dave, Lansing began raising the $5,300 needed to fund his trip. He talked to Theresa Agerter, an assistant principal at the high school, and she was interested in TRUST, from 1A real positive,� Mayor Bill Droste said of the YMCA building in Rosemount. In the past few months, representatives from the city and YMCA met with officials with Dakota County Technical College and the University of Minnesota to talk about potential site locations. Droste said they have identified a location south of County Road 42 on both sides of Akron Avenue as a potential location. A YMCA-commissioned study found there was strong support among Rosemount residents and DCTC students for the recreational, educational and family services YMCA provides, particularly a pool. “We have real good sur-

bringing his project to the attention of the student body. Since We Day Minnesota, the school’s students had been looking for a project to support. This seemed like a good fit. In addition to Lansing’s own fundraising, now students from across the Farmington School District have started collecting change through We Create Change, a year-long fundraising campaign in support of international charity and educational partner Free The Children. The project is made possible in Minnesota by Bremer Bank. Across the district, students are gathering change to fill special Free The Children/Bremer Bank cardboard school houses. Each $20 will purchase a brick to build a school in Kenya. All five elementary schools, two middle schools, and Farmington High School are working together to raise $10,000 to build a school in Kenya. Farmington High School students are building an 8-foot long wall to track the progress of their fundraising efforts. For each $20 raised for a

school brick overseas, students will place a paper brick on the wall to raise awareness and encourage their fellow students to get involved in We Create Change. They are hoping to raise the money by the end of the school year before Lansing leaves on his trip. He will be traveling to southern Kenya to live with a Maasai tribe. “I’m hoping that I will be able to gain a really good understanding of what it means to be a good global citizen,� Lansing said, “to be immersed in a new experience and culture, and I’m excited to meet people from the other side of the world, to tell them that there are others here that want to see them succeed and prosper.� Lansing still needs to raise about $3,000 for his trip expenses by April 30. To donate to his trip, contact Lansing at jason. lansing@yahoo.com, or call Farmington High School at 651-252-2501. For more information or to donate to the Farmington High School We Create Change project, call the school.

vey data,� Droste said. He noted that Rosemount doesn’t have a large privately-owned fitness facility like those in Lakeville and doesn’t have a public aquatics site like Farmington, Apple Valley and Eagan. YMCA currently operates sites that include pools, gyms, fitness centers and other features in Eagan and Burnsville. Droste said YMCA construction projects are typically funded by a portion of funds raised in the local community.

The fund has helped develop projects such as the Dakota County branch Robert Trail Library, athletic fields and street lights. At the Trust Board’s Dec. 16 meeting, it granted $1,000 to the Rosemount High School Girls Hockey Blue Line Club and $933 to the Salvation Army. SKB Environmental was established in 1983 as a landfill for construction and demolition debris. Over the years, the company has added efforts to recycle many of the waste materials brought to its locations. Johnson said a contributing factor that led to the decision to end the trust fund was the acquisition of SKB by Texas-based Waste Connections in mid-2012.

Trust fund history The SKB Environmental Trust Fund was capped at $1.5 million in 2008 and the excess funds generated by its investments were directed to be distributed to the city and to local organizations.

Customers asked to conserve natural gas Minnesota Energy Resources said cooperation was great

out the company’s service area, which includes parts of Dakota County. “Our system is stable at this point, and we are watching closely to ensure safe, reliable service to our customers,� Nick said on Monday. “Customer response to this has been a great help. We still request that customers take measures to conserve without impacting their individual safety.� The company informed customers on Tuesday that they could resume normal natural gas use. Minnesota Energy said it had curtailed natural gas service to commercial and industrial “interruptible� customers. The company said it expected interruptions could continue during this unusually cold weather pattern. Due to the problems with supplying natural gas, there also has been shortages of propane. Equal parts of natural gas and crude oil are used to make propane (see related story). Information on safety and cold weather tips is available on the Minnesota Energy’s website at www.minnesotaenergyresources.com. If customers smell gas or suspect a gas leak, they should move to a safe location and contact the Minnesota Energy customer service center at 800-8894970. – Tad Johnson

PROPANE, from 1A

but I don’t think it’s ever gotten this high.� Sexton said the same propane fill that used to take truckers an hour at the terminal now takes almost two days. “There’s nothing there,� Sexton said. “All that has been in storage has been sucked dry in Minnesota. There’s no gas.� Many propane companies are rationing propane to customers who heat their homes with the fuel. Soaring propane prices are forcing Dwight and Donna Pederson, of Lakeville, to take money from their savings to pay for it. Donna Pederson said their last fill in early December cost $1.89 per gallon; now prices are at $5.69 per gallon. With just 29 percent remaining in their tank, they expect to need a refill this week; their fuel company will only provide a maximum of 250 gallons per fill. “I’m very concerned,� Donna Pederson said. “My hot water heater and furnace operate on propane, so if I don’t have heat, the water freezes and my pipes burst.� Propane officials say things will get better once spring comes, and in the meantime are urging customers to conserve their propane supply by turning down the thermostat and not heating buildings or rooms that don’t need to be heated. “Hopefully, spring will come soon,� Leider said.

Rosemount-based Minnesota Energy Resources asked customers to turn their thermostats down to 60 degrees on Saturday after a natural gas pipeline in Winnipeg, Canada, ruptured further pinching supply. The company said one of three pipelines affected by the incident was expected to return to normal Monday as Minnesota Energy asked customers to continue to conserve and avoid using natural gas appliances and to use electric space heaters but be careful not to overload circuits. “By everyone pitching in, customers, utilities, pipelines, local government and the media, we were able to maintain system stability during a very difficult time,� said Barb Nick, president of Minnesota Energy Resources. “A combination of factors including extreme cold weather and the loss of natural gas supply really tested the pipeline system and customers’ patience. We know this hasn’t been easy for our customers and we thank them for their cooperation and continued conservation.� Minnesota Energy said the rupture severely disrupted gas supply through-

communities may be “in danger of running out completely — a development that would be devastating for those communities.� The letter asks that funds be available for emergency deliveries of propane. Dayton declared a peacetime State of Emergency on Monday, activating the Minnesota Emergency Operations Plan and coordinating response efforts across all state agencies. The National Guard is also placed on active duty to respond to emergency situations. He also directed the commissioner of commerce to “use his consumer protection authority� to guard Minnesotans against price gouging.

Minnesota Propane Association Executive Director Roger Leider said production is “very tight� and expects supply will remain limited until spring. He said most concerning is that people need another fill to get them enough propane to heat their homes through the winter. Kevin Sexton, general manager of River Country Co-op, owned by its members in and around Dakota County, cited concerns about rising prices and dropping supply. “I’ve never seen something like this,� Sexton said. “I’ve been around 30 years, and we usually have Laura Adelmann is at laura. a little spike every year, adelmann@ecm-inc.com.

shoveling, not snow, but sand to build pillars and steps for the new school. “What I thought we were coming down here to do was to build a building, however, it is much more than that, we are building hope,� Geis said in his recorded interview. Geis, along with approximately 50 other volunteers and educators, flew into the capital of Dominican Republic, Santo Domingo, last week and then traveled to the mountain town of Constanza. Geis said Constanza is an agricultural area where residents grow fresh lettuce, beets, cucumbers and squash, but most of the food grown there is exported. As a Minnesota farmer, Geis was fascinated by the agriculture. “It’s an impressive and very fertile valley that we are in,� he said during his web broadcast. The average laborer working in the field there earns $8 per day three days a week. “It’s incredibly hard to make a living so the whole notion of this is to break that cycle of poverty,� he said. The current school at Constanza educates 230 students, but once the vocational school is built, 400 students can be educated there in welding, culinary arts, tailoring, construction and other vocational skills. “The whole notion of this school, it’s revolutionary in the sense that the children, in their hearts, we are lighting this fire that they can do more,� Geis said. During the students’ recess breaks, the work group also took a break, playing football, baseball and Frisbee. At times, Geis said the group was frustrated with the slow pace of the project since much of the building is done by hand, but part of the mission was realizing the cul-

tural differences that exist between the United States and the Dominican Republic. “Not only are we building hope and transformation here, we are building relationships, which is much more powerful and longer lasting,� he said. The Lifetouch workers will not finish the school building. “We’ve got the foundation started and the people here are actually going to finish it,� Geis said. “And it’s important that they finish it so that sense of accomplishment that they have it done is a wonderful thing for them.� While there, Lifetouch and the volunteers spent a day taking pictures of the students. For many, this will be their only printed photo. Once the photos were handed out to students, Geis said they were trading them like baseball cards. In addition to working at the school, Geis and other volunteers visited with families around Constanza. Most students live in two-room houses the size of living rooms in the United States. The volunteers received a warm welcome everywhere they went. “You won’t find them any more kind and showing that hospitality,� Geis said. “What I see coming to light is the scripture every single day, the story of the widow’s mite. Here they give what they truly need.� While there Geis tweeted photos and comments of the week’s activities. He arrived back in Minnesota on Tuesday evening. “It has been one of the most profound learning experiences and given me a new lens, not only on education, but about culture, about the diversity of our whole society and I look forward to coming back sharing that with you all back in Minnesota,� Geis said as he ended his broadcast Monday morning.

Sports Tigers hit a speed bump

Rosemount wrestlers take place in top 10 Irish one of five SSC teams that are ranked by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Critics might dismiss South Suburban Conference wrestling as being one team deep, but the state Class 3A rankings suggest otherwise. While Apple Valley continues to be the state’s dominant team, last week’s theguillotine.com Class 3A rankings had four other South Suburban teams in the top 12: Prior Lake (third), Rosemount (ninth), Eastview (10th) and Lakeville North (12th). Rosemount is having one of its best seasons in years, cracking the top 10 in the state rankings and having several highly ranked individuals. Last week the Irish lost to Prior Lake in a matchup of ranked teams but came back the next day to beat Hopkins and Henry Sibley in a home triangular. The Irish tossed a shutout at Hopkins, winning 61-0. The team also finished fourth at the Eastview Invitational on Jan. 18. While it might not have been the greatest day for the team, which was missing three of its varsity regulars, it was a huge day for some individuals – most notably Adam Hedin, who won the 132-pound bracket and was named the tournament’s most outstanding wrestler. Hedin edged Wayzata’s Nick O’Brien 5-4 in the championship match. O’Brien is a four-time state tournament qualifier and was Class 3A runner-up at 126 last season. “The kid from Wayzata has about 175 career victories,” Rosemount coach Brett Larson said. “Adam had a great tour-

On Tuesday night, they had a season-low point total in a 54-29 home-court loss to Shakopee. Eli Rockett, who scored 12 points, was the only Farmington player with more than five. A quirk in the Missota Conference schedule gives Farmington a quick opportunity for redemption as the Tigers go to Shakopee for a rematch Friday night. (Photos by Rick Orndorf)

(Photo by Mike Shaughnessy) nament, and the championship match was his 100th career victory.” Hedin, a sophomore, is the fastest to 100 victories in Rosemount High School history. He’s ranked third in Class 3A at 132 pounds by theguillotine.com. Irish senior Adam Jackson won four matches at 145 and took first in the weight class. A pin and a major decision were among the victories. Jackson missed some matches earlier in the season but is in a groove now, Larson said. “He really looked dominant,” the coach said. “It was by far the best he’s wrestled all season.” Jake Baker (113) and Payton Otterdahl (285) were second in their weight classes at the Eastview tourney. Otterdahl lost in the finals to an undefeated wrestler from Winona who’s ranked fifth in Class 3A. Austin Valenzuela, seeing his first varsity action

of the season, went 3-2 and placed fifth at 160. The Irish had four wrestlers ranked in the top 10 at their weight classes by theguillotine. com. In addition to Hedin’s No. 3 ranking at 132, Baker is seventh at 113, Craig Syzmanski is 10th at 220 and Otterdahl is ninth at 285. The Irish wrestle at Lakeville South at 7 p.m. Thursday and close the regular season at Lakeville North on Feb. 6. Following that is the Section 3 tournament, where Apple Valley is again the heavy favorite. Rosemount was second to Apple Valley in last year’s section team tourney and would like another shot. “I think we’re stronger than last year,” Larson said. “We have some talented individuals and a good lineup overall.” Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

Shakeup of football scheduling on the way MSHSL approves district plan; Rosemount athletic director casts dissenting vote by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

It’s possible the 2014 South Suburban Conference football champion could be the last South Suburban Conference football champion. Not because the conference is going away, but because of a change in how the Minnesota State High School League will have its members schedule games. The MSHSL board of directors Jan. 23 voted to restructure high school regular-season football by approving a “District Football Scheduling” proposal. The plan, designed to help schools that have had trouble scheduling their full complement of eight regular-season games, will divide schools into districts of at least 10, and preferably 16 or more, with proximity and similar enrollments among the criteria for placement. Schools within a district then would collaborate to create schedules for each team. The plan will take effect in 2015. Section and state playoff formats would not change. Districts could have teams from more than one enrollment class, and there is no assurance that all schools within a conference would be placed in the same district. The MSHSL board approved the proposal 19-1, with Rosemount High School athletic director Mike Manning casting the dissenting vote. Manning said Tuesday it was his understanding that 80 percent of the high schools in the state opposed district football scheduling. “I disagree with it as well,” said Rosemount football coach Jeff Erdmann, whose team was Class 6A runner up in 2013. “I believe there are too many unknowns ... “The big issue is the Lake Conference teams being able to fill a schedule. Our conference has made arrangements with the Lake for the past five years to play non-conference games. This issue could be resolved easily if another big-school conference would simply help with scheduling non-conference games with the Lake, like our conference has done.” Lake Conference member Eden Prairie, the 2013 Class 6A football champion, played two games against Northwest

Suburban Conference schools and one against a South Suburban Conference school and yet still had only seven regular-season games, one short of the maximum. Manning said he favored continuing to work with the Lake Conference, which has only five schools, to help them fill their schedules. But he added that the problems could be handled at the local level without introducing a new scheduling system statewide. He said he also would like to see current conference structures remain in place. When Farmington and Shakopee join the South Suburban next year, it will give the league eight schools in Dakota County and two in neighboring Scott County. “We’re spoiled,” Manning said. “The South Suburban Conference is such a good deal for us. We also think it’s good for our fans when they don’t have to drive as far to our road games. I don’t know if as many of them would travel to Wayzata or Eden Prairie.” A committee will be formed to determine district lineups in the spring, with the goal to have them approved at the June 2 MSHSL board meeting. Districts then would begin work on scheduling for the 2015 and 2016 seasons with a Nov. 1, 2014, deadline to have them completed. The high school league will encourage schools in each district to form their own football-only conferences, complete with all-conference or all-district teams. While there was some concern expressed about scenarios in which Class 5A teams would have to play Class 6A powers such as Eden Prairie and Wayzata, Lakeville North football coach Brian Vossen wondered if the changes would take away opportunities for the Panthers to play the large-school powers. Lakeville North is one of the smallest schools in Class 6A football, and Vossen said he believes it’s possible a district scheduling arrangement would match the Panthers with some Class 5A teams. “I don’t want to play 5A schools,” Vossen said. “Nothing against them; a lot of them have very good programs. I’ve told my athletic director, Russ Reetz, that I want to play the most competitive schedule we can get. “We’ve lost to Eden Prairie in the

(state) playoffs the last two years. To learn to beat a team like that, you have to play teams like that.” Class 6A football has 32 schools. The group consists of most of the state’s largest high schools, plus a couple of private schools (Cretin-Derham Hall, TotinoGrace) that opted up. “I think 16 is a perfect number of schools for a district,” Vossen said. “If they split the 32 (Class 6A) schools into two groups of 16, I’d be happy.” MSHSL associate director Kevin Merkle gave the board results of a football survey that found 18 percent of member schools currently had “challenges” scheduling regular-season football games, and 41 percent had difficulty with scheduling within the past 10 years. Some of those schools are in outstate Minnesota, which either had to travel long distances to play a game or went with a week unfilled on their schedules. “The arrangement that passed simply passes the very difficult task of arranging new conferences to the athletic directors and principals of the 16-team districts,” Erdmann said. Filling football schedules has not been a problem in the 10-school South Suburban Conference since its formation in 2010. But the league does have some scheduling idiosyncrasies. Because the regular season is limited to eight games, teams can’t play all of the other schools in the conference in the same year. Some teams play conference opponents in all eight of their regular-season games, while others play seven conference games and one non-conference game. Those issues pale in comparison to the benefits the South Suburban Conference provides Rosemount, Erdmann said. “Our current conferences are geographically based and help us out with short drives, reduced transportation expenses, and less dangerous routes for parents and students during rush hour traffic,” Erdmann said. “Kids get back from games at a decent time so they have more time for downtime or to do homework. Schools that end up having to make longer trips for all sports all year will be greatly impacted by this decision.” Rosemount, the easternmost South Suburban Conference school, is about 25 miles from Shakopee, which will be the

SSC’s westernmost school when it joins the conference for the 2014-15 school year. Most of Rosemount’s other road trips within the conference are much shorter and don’t involve getting on a freeway. Erdmann said that appeals to schools such as Rosemount, where transportation budgets have been cut to the point where athletes in some sports drive themselves to road games. “If our transportation expenses increase we will have to raise funds or raise fees for participating,” Erdmann added. “I am guessing our district isn’t going to say, ‘Oh, now we have to travel to Eden Prairie, Mounds View or Stillwater more often through rush-hour traffic, so we will increase the funding for all of our sports at every level.’ ”

2015 season starts earlier The MSHSL board also approved an earlier start to the 2015 football season, made necessary because the Prep Bowl is expected to take place two weeks earlier than usual. The 2014 and 2015 Prep Bowls will be at TCF Bank Stadium. Because of University of Minnesota games already scheduled, Nov. 13-14 are the only weekend dates in November 2015 that the stadium is available to the MSHSL. In 2015, preseason practices will start Aug. 10, one week earlier than usual. Teams will be able to play games beginning Saturday, Aug. 22. Games are likely to replace the scrimmages that many teams schedule at the end of the second week of practice. The change means most teams will have played three games before the opening day of school. The change is likely to be for the 2015 season only because the MSHSL is expected to move the Prep Bowl to the new Minnesota Vikings stadium when it opens in 2016.

Four classes for softball The MSHSL board also approved a proposal to expand the state softball tournament from three classes to four beginning in 2016. The tournament is expected to remain at its present location, Caswell Park in North Mankato. Email Mike Shaughnessy mike.shaughnessy@ecm-inc.com.

24-hour road condition information

1-800-542-0220 Minnesota Department of Transportation Horoscopes ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you are inspired to take on the world, but you may want to focus on smaller goals this week. Finishing a long-lingering work project is a viable option.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, a friend may shock you by doing something really outrageous. You do not know what to make of this change in personality, but do your best to take it in stride.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, something does not seem to be falling into place. Take stock of things at home and at work to see if you can crack this nut. A little more investigation many be necessary.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, work figures to put a lot on your plate in the coming week. You can handle everything that comes your way, so long as you keep your cool and continue to work hard.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 You may be offered a professional opportunity this week that is too good to pass up, Gemini. Despite this great offer, do your best to stay focused on work for the next several days.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 You may be tempted to sneak off and play hooky from work, Sagittarius. Just make sure you handle all of your obligations first. Now is not the best time to kick up your heels.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Exercise caution and do not jump to any conclusions at work, Cancer. While you may know what your boss expects from you, it is better to wait to hear what he or she has to say.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you have so much to do now that your mind may be in a complete jumble. Others will come at you with questions, but take a deep breath and answer them one at a time.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you can envision exciting adventures ahead, and those times will be here before you know it. Channel your enthusiasm so you can get a head start on planning your adventure.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Change is not the best idea right now, Aquarius. It is much better to stick with the status quo for a little while longer. Then you will have enough stability to make a change.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you have a desire to be different from everyone else this week. It's good to be original, but don't stray too far off the beaten path or you may find yourself lost.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, you have many new ideas about how to get rich quick, but you will probably want to find more sensible ways to earn a living.

Thisweekend DANCING INTO THE NEW YEAR

Apple Valley’s Galaxie Library celebrated the Chinese New Year on Jan. 25 with a performance by the Twin Cities Chinese Dance Center. It was a pre-New Year’s party, so to speak, as this year the Chinese New Year falls on Jan. 31. The event was part of the ongoing Minnesota Mosaic Cultural Arts series offered by the Dakota County library system; the next Minnesota Mosaic event will feature storyteller Nothando Zulu sharing African and African-American folktales at 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 3, at the Burnhaven Library in Burnsville. More about the series is at www.dakotacounty.us/ library. (Photos by Andrew Miller)

Three Choirs Festival

Sunday Feb. 9, 2014 3:00 pm

Stephen J. Ramsey, Conductor / Music Director

Lynne’s self-titled 2006 debut album produced three singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts – “Lipstick,� “Do We Still� and “More� – and since his breakthrough onto the national country music scene the U.S. Army veteran has been working to build Tribute to the Troops, an annual charity motorcycle ride he co-founded that raises money for families of soldiers who died in non-combat situations. Among the highlights of his country music career, Lynne has logged more than a dozen appearances on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry and seen his music aired on TV programs including CBS’s “Criminal Minds� and “Fox NFL Sunday.� This past week saw him putting the finishing touches on the theme song for next year’s United Way campaign, which he was commissioned to produce. Tickets for the concert at Bogart’s in Apple Valley are $15; more information is at www. bogartsplace.com. The Bogart’s event also features a pre-show dinner with Lynne; details are at www.rockielynne.com.

Country music artist Rockie Lynne is no stranger to Minnesota winters — he lived in Coon Rapids for a spell before signing his first major-label record deal and heading to Nashville – but the North Carolina native admits he never really acclimated to the arctic chill of the Land of 10,000 Lakes. “When I lived in Minnesota, my friends would come over and I’d be in the house with a stocking cap and a coat on,� Lynne said. “I love it in Minnesota, I love the whole way Minnesotans look at life – it can be 20 below zero and nothing really stops – but I never got used to the weather.� Lynne joked that he’ll be bringing every item of clothing he owns for his return to Minnesota next month, when he’ll be performing a CD release concert Feb. 8 at Bogart’s Place in Apple Valley in support of his new album, “Radio Road.� The album takes its name from the address of Lynne’s recording studio – housed in an old radio station at 1117 Radio Email Andrew Miller Road. andrew.miller@ecm-inc.com.
