Joe McCarthy, a physical education teacher at Meadowview Elementary in Farmington, probably gives the most popular homework of any teacher. McCarthy created a program to reward students for fitness, even though he believes there’s countless rewards already for being active.

berwolves and Lynx organization to help motivate younger students statewide to get them moving outside of class. Students in second through eighth grades in 60 Minnesota school districts will participate in the Get Fit program, which started Wednesday and will run three months. Every 15 minutes of exercise outside of class earns one point. Each student who achieves 75 points or more will receive a free Timberwolves ticket, a poster and another NBA-related prize. The NBA was looking for something like the NFL Play60 program,

which is a youth fitness campaign focused on getting young fans active for at least 60 minutes per day. The Timberwolves are the first NBA franchise to engage in a program like this, according to McCarthy. If it takes off here, it could spread throughout the NBA. It’s worked at Meadowview. In the program, students who are active outside the school day will record their information on a form. Exercise can include playing a sport, taking a dog for a walk, playing tag, raking leaves or shoveling snow. See FITNESS, 10A

Farmington test scores improve, have room for growth MCA tests going away soon for high school students by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Farmington students finished higher than the Minnesota average in mathematics, reading and science tests during last spring’s Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments testing. Farmington’s percent of students at or above proficient in math was 69.3, while statewide it’s 60.2. The reading percentage for Farmington was 60.2, which was 2.6 above the state average. Science was at 54.8, which was 2.4 above the state average. Compared to recent years at Farmington, math improved by more than 5 percent in two years and science improved 4.8 percent from last year. Overall reading scores declined in Minnesota. The method of taking the reading test was changed this year, and standards were updated. Digging deeper into the num-

bers, the Farmington district discovered some positives and negatives in the MCA results. Lower achieving students are showing higher growth, according the results. The percentage of students who do not meet standards, 8.1 percent in math, 16.7 percent in reading and 18.3 percent in science, is low, according to district assessment data coordinator Sharon Davenport. The number of students who exceed standards – the highest level – isn’t showing as much growth. In reading and science the percent that exceeded the standards is lower than the state average. “I’d like to see our reading results improve and be as high as math when compared to the state,” Davenport said. “The percent that exceeds level can improve.” MCAs are required for all public school students and are taken in the spring. Third- through eighth-graders took the reading and math test. Tenth-graders took the reading and 11th-graders took the math. The science test was taken by the fifth-, eighth- and 10th-graders. Usually the results are released in the summer, but this year they

were delayed because of changes in the reading standards.

MCAs going away By the 2014-2015 school year, the MCA tests will no longer be given to high school students. Instead, they will take a different career and college assessment test. MCAs will remain for grades 3 through 7. “(Minnesota) is moving toward an ACT-style test,” Davenport said. “They haven’t made a decision on what product they will be using.” Using the ACT or something similar would be a relief because most students already take the test. “For a lot of our students, that’s our assessment,” Farmington High School principal Ben Kusch said. “The ACT is the assessment our folks can identify with. It would be great if we could get all roads to flow into one.” He said it would help teachers and students focus on one set of standards. Email Andy Rogers andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Diversity rising, enrollment stable in District 196 by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District has become increasingly diverse over the past 10 years, yet enrollment has remained about the same, according to an Oct. 1 report. Enrollment of minority students has grown slightly over the past year with black students accounting for 12 percent of the student population, Hispanics 7 percent, Asians 9 percent and American Indians 0.54 percent, according to the report, which was presented to the School Board on Oct. 14. The population of white students in the district has fallen slightly to 69 percent. “I think the changes we’ve seen will continue in the future,” Board Member Rob Duchscher said.

Elementary schools have the most diversity in District 196 with minority students making up 33.76 percent of the elementary population. This is above the state average of 27.02 percent for elementary schools. Over the past 10 years the district’s minority population has risen from 15 to 30.12 percent. At the same time, the district’s portion of students who speak English as a second language has grown. English Language Learners make up 5.39 percent of the district as of Oct. 1, which is an increase from 2003 when it was 3.92 percent. Statewide, 6.94 percent of students speak English as a second language. In addition to becoming more diverse, District 196 has seen more students qualify for free and reduced meals over the past 10 years. The percentage of students

who receive free or reduced meals has gone from 9.2 percent n 2003 to 23.20 percent in 2013. “I’m surprised we are not seeing a greater increase in free and reduced meals with the economy,” Duchscher said. Total enrollment — which includes all students in kindergarten through grade 12, plus students in center-based special education and early childhood special education programs — has increased slightly (0.13 percent) to 27,202 between Oct. 1, 2012 and Oct. 1, 2013. “We’ve been holding our own,” said Kim Reis, student information supervisor for District 196. The K-12 only enrollment is 25,993 students, which is a 0.25 percent increase over the past year and 0.18 percent more than projected by the district last November for purposes of preparing the

2013-14 preliminary budget. The final budget presented to the board in December will reflect actual enrollments from the Oct. 1 count. The largest growth was within the elementary schools, which saw enrollment increase 1.1 percent to 11,679. Although enrollment picked up at district elementary schools, the 2013 kindergarten class was among the smallest in recent years with 1,782. “This is not a trend though,” Reis said. “Kindergarten enrollment has been fluctuating for a while.” This year, seniors make up the largest class with 2,113 students, but enrollment at district high schools has dropped by 1.8 percent to 8,319 over the past year.

Longtime entrepreneur remembered as pillar of community Dan Shimek dies of cancer at age 65 by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Dan Shimek wore many hats: entrepreneur, philanthropist, family man and joyful storyteller. No matter which hat he wore, the Dakota County business owner was loved and admired by those around him. Shimek, of Apple Valley, who died at age 65 on Oct. 11 after battling cancer for the past month, left his mark on a number of communities. “He was a pioneer,� Apple Valley Mayor Mary Hamann-Roland said. “His light will continue to burn brightly in our community.� Seeing promise in Apple Valley’s Central Village, Shimek and his wife, Kay, opened Enjoy! restaurant in 2004 at 15435 Founders Lane. The district was envisioned as a thriving downtown area, but by 2008 it was filled with empty storefronts and undeveloped lots due to the recession. A savvy businessman, Shimek was able to beat the tide. Three years later, the restaurant’s future became brighter as Central Village rebounded. In August, the couple temporarily closed Enjoy! and sold the restaurant to Twin Cities restaurateur Bob Tinsley, who plans to reopen it under the name Vivo. The family insists

Shimek’s health issues were not a factor in their decision to sell the restaurant. At the time, the couple said they sold the restaurant to “simplify our program.� Hamann-Roland described Shimek as an ethical businessman who treated his employees like family. Shimek’s generosity extended far beyond the restaurant. An advocate of public education, the Apple Valley resident generously contributed to Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan schools — the school district his own four children attended. “He was a pillar of the community and a father figure to a lot of people,� his daughter, Jessica, said. When a devastating tsunami hit Sri Lanka in 2004, Shimek helped fund reconstruction efforts — namely a school — in one of the island nation’s villages. A school named after Shimek stands as a lasting reminder of his passion for helping others. One year later Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, and Shimek and his family again extended a helping hand. “They are incredibly wonderful stewards of the community and the world,� Hamann-Roland said. Shimek’s entrepreneurial spirit extended well beyond Apple Valley’s borders. His first venture was Heat-N-Glo, which he founded in Burnsville in

He retired in 2002, but that was short-lived. Within a year he founded Eagan-based Outdoor GreatRoom Company, which designs and manufactures upscale fire pits, furniture and kitchens for outdoor living spaces. Though Outdoor GreatRoom felt the weight of the recession, it continued to thrive with annual sales in the millions. Aiming to save money and bring business to Minne-

sota, Shimek moved the company’s engineering, production and manufacturing operation from overseas and Salt Lake City, Utah, to its headquarters in Eagan. A year after opening Outdoor GreatRoom, Shimek opened Enjoy! and then Paradise Landing restaurant in Balsam Lake, Wis., and a winery called Chateau St. Croix in St. Croix Falls, Wis. “I wasn’t good at golf, and I enjoy business and being around good innovation,� Shimek said in a 2010 interview.

On Oct. 1, Shimek was diagnosed with advanced non-Hodgkin lymphoma and given a 25 percent to 50 percent survival rate. Dan and his family felt hopeful as he began his chemotherapy, Jessica said. But a week later, doctors discovered the cancer was far more advanced than they initially realized. This combined with other health issues, Dan’s prognosis began to look bleak. Shimek died at home with his family at his side. He is survived by his wife of 33 years, Kay; and children, Jessica Shimek, Danielle (Ricky) Dhaliwal, Kent Shimek and Richelle Shimek.

Volunteer, 75, is ‘irreplaceable’ presence at Burnsville food shelf by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Bill Ganz has been off his golf game since health problems struck this summer. His volunteer hours at 360 Communities are down, too. As the lead volunteer at the nonprofit agency’s Burnsville food shelf, Ganz could always be counted on for up to 28 hours a week. Then came his chronic lymphocytic leukemia, caused by exposure to Agent Orange, and mesothelioma, caused by exposure to asbestos. “Bang, bang. Both barrels,� said the 75-year-old Burnsville resident, who traces the long-dormant conditions to his service in Vietnam in 1968 and 1969 and the asbestos insulation to which he was exposed during 22 years of active duty with the Marine Corps. He’s being treated and plans a return to full duty at the Burnsville food shelf, the busiest of five operated by Burns-

ville-based 360 Communities. “He is irreplaceable,� said Kathryn Archambault, resource development manager for 360 Communities. Thanks to her nomination, Ganz was named one of six 2013 Community Builder Award recipients last month by the Burnsville City Council. “His love and passion for helping those in need, I feel, goes far beyond serving food,� Archambault said. “He has really touched the lives of many here at 360.� Ganz and his wife Jeri, parents of four, moved to Burnsville in 1981 when Ganz took a civilian job with Eaganbased Unisys as a product representative. He later worked as a product rep for Uponor in Apple Valley. After retiring, Ganz joined the Burnsville Breakfast Rotary Club, which led to his volunteer work with 360 Communities. He’s logged more

than 5,100 hours since 2007, according to Archambault, starting as a volunteer driver at 360’s Eagan location of the Lewis House, a domestic-violence shelter for women and their children. He drove Lewis House clients to doctor visits, court appearances, school registrations and other appointments. One Sunday morning he was called to drive a woman with a toothache to the only dentist that could be found. “I never asked questions� of the clients, Ganz said. “If they wanted to tell me things, I would be a good listener. Boy, there were some stories. You get irate.� When volunteer help was needed at the Burnsville food shelf, Ganz stepped up. He became Bill Ganz, the lead volunteer at the 360 Communities food shelf in Burnsville, was the volunteer leader of honored by the Burnsville City Council for his volunteer work with the nonprofit the operation, which agency.

Opinion Bus rapid transit trumps $1.2 billion for rail project by Mary Sherry SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Elected officials have to weigh many competing options – usually all good – when it comes to spending taxpayer money. I should know; I am an elected official – a Burnsville City Council member to be specific. When I see the number of options competing for scarce public transit funding, I try to think like a decision maker, even if I am not the one making the decision. Thus, I must respond to the Oct. 4 editorial, “LRT needs to move ahead as part of a long-term statewide plan.” I believe the Metropolitan Council should review and potentially reconsider its investment in the Southwest Light Rail Transit project. Here is why. According to background information available, the Southwest LRT is expected to cost nearly $1.2 billion. This investment would result in approximately 15 miles of new light-rail track (and the things associated with it). In my opinion, $1.2 billion could complete a number of other transportation projects that would have a broader impact in the Twin Cities.

Guest Columnist

Mary Sherry Burnsville City Council Member

Take, for example, the I-35W corridor. The Metropolitan Council is also working to develop the Orange Line using bus rapid transit. BRT, in contrast to LRT, uses buses on existing roadway corridors rather than requiring the development of a train system. There are, however, many similarities between the two. BRT buses would use their own lanes/shoulders to provide quick and efficient movement through traffic. They would follow a very regular and consistent schedule, similar to that of light rail. Most important, they would connect people to and from destinations without the need of a personal automobile. This BRT Orange Line project would require stations along the I-35W corridor at the already existing Burnsville Minnesota Valley Transit Authority Bus

Station, 98th Street, American Boulevard (near Best Buy and Southtown), 66th Street, an already constructed 46th Street station, Lake Street and several downtown Minneapolis stops. This project would also require and result in interchange improvements at I494/I-35W and Lake Street/I-35W. These interchange improvements would have the dual benefit of improving mobility for both transit users and motorists. The very roughly estimated cost for this project is $300 million, including the interchange improvements. This is obviously a very large investment, but it is only 25 percent of the base project cost for the Southwest LRT. Using that math, the Metropolitan Council could construct four similarly scoped BRT projects for the cost of the lone Southwest LRT project. Four BRT projects would also benefit a larger percentage of commuters. My opinion is not that the Southwest LRT project is a “bad” project. For three years, I commuted to downtown Minneapolis via the Hiawatha Line. It is an impressive part of the transit system. However, when I consider that this is “other people’s money,” I question the value the

entire metropolitan region would receive from this investment. To me, it seems there are other more cost-effective options to move people to and from work and recreation. This is also not a “suburban” rant against transit. As I’ve noted, I am a strong supporter of mass transit. However, I would recommend transit projects that would (likely) connect with more users and more destinations. While the Metropolitan Council may certainly have documentation that the project is cost effective, I would just point out again that $1.2 billion is a lot of money for 15 miles of track. When the city of Burnsville develops its capital improvement plans, we try to find the best value for the taxpayers in Burnsville. I’m not sure this project does that for the taxpayers in the metropolitan region. I know how I would vote on this project if I had the chance. How about you?

Children’s futures are on the line with levy vote by Bill Tschohl SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

It is important that Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District residents vote on Nov. 5. Our children’s futures are in our hands. We have 150,000 residents in the district with 90,000 registered voters. Typically only 33 percent of parents with children in the district schools vote per available data. In 2010 when major political offices were on the ballot 60,000 voted. In 2005 when no major offices were up for election only 18,000 voted. We will possibly see a similar low turnout this year, which means every vote really matters. Failure to pass the levy referendum will negatively affect many. District 196 has 3,600 employees, including 2,000 teachers, making it the second largest employer in the district. Approximately 70 percent of district staff lives in the district. If it is necessary to let go a number of teachers and staff, their loss of jobs will dramatically affect our local economy and home values. We are just starting to come out of a recession. Property values are starting to show signs of recovery. If the levy is not passed, it means severe cuts in employment and services throughout the school system. This could again bring down home values by as much as 5-10 percent over a period of time. If hundreds of teachers are let go, they will look for

Guest Columnist

Bill Tschohl opportunities elsewhere. This will be our loss. We have some of the best teachers. It would take years before experienced high quality teachers would want to look at our district again. We all like stability. We would like to continue to attract the best. We are the ones making decisions for young people that will affect their lives forever. We want our young people to have the same or better opportunities than we enjoyed. Voting “yes” on the levy referendum will allow students to enjoy the benefits and opportunities they deserve. The community’s attitude toward the levy appears pretty close. Favorable results will depend on voter turnout. If you are a believer in the levy, we need you to talk to your friends and neighbors about voting. On Nov. 5, voters will elect three School Board positions currently held by Art Coulson, Gary Huusko and Mike Roseen. There is only one challenger, Craig Angrimson, of Apple Valley. We

have experienced good leadership under the direction of the present School Board members and Superintendent Jane Berenz. In September Apple Valley was ranked No. 17 in the nation for cities under 50,000 on Money Magazine’s America’s Best Places to Live list. Much of this is due to the leadership of Mayor Mary Hamann-Roland and the City Council and the good school system. Three cities in Minnesota in this category were selected among the top 50. These cities score high on many of the qualities that families look for in a hometown. Money Magazine reported that when deciding on a great place to live they ranked what was most important with affordable housing at 35 percent, top ranked schools at 30 percent, lots of stuff to do at 21 percent and good high paying jobs at 14 percent. This ranking helps bring business and new homeowners to the area. The School Board has already made $34 million in budget adjustments within the last four years resulting in larger class sizes. If not passed, we will see further class size increases across all grade levels, leaving less individual attention to students. The fifth-grade band program would be eliminated. Three-fourths of this year’s fifth-grade students are participating in band; future fifth-graders would not have that same opportunity if

the levy is not approved. The more than 300 ninth-grade students participating in B-team sports this year would not have the option to play for their school. Fees for those who are playing high school athletics would increase by 20 percent for all sports. And the list goes on. If the levy passes, we would not need to make those cuts and total school district taxes on the $225,000 average-value home in District 196 would increase by $56 from this year to next year. The request is to extend the district’s existing levy, which would otherwise expire in two years, and increase it by $10 million for the next 10 years. The tax impact of the current levy is $176 per year on the average-value home. If the levy increase is approved, the total tax impact would be $360 per year. Following the unsuccessful 2010 levy vote, the School Board approved a third straight year of budget adjustments which totaled $34 million over three years. It included elimination of more than 100 teaching positions. We cannot afford to see this happen again. Remember to vote on Nov. 5. The future of our children depends on you.

Letters Vote yes for our local community To the editor: On Nov. 5, District 196 residents will have the opportunity to vote on a levy referendum question that will provide additional funding for our public schools. The District 196 administration has provided the relevant facts that help answer the questions that many of us have such as, “What will be cut if the levy is not passed?”, “What cuts has the District already made?”, and “How will the levy affect my property taxes?” on its website (district196.org). I encourage everyone to get informed before voting on Election Day. In addition to understanding the financial details of the levy, I would encourage voters to consider two other factors you will not see on the district’s website. • We live in a global

economy that rewards the best educated. Today’s students are tomorrow’s business leaders and employees. District 196 schools must produce world-class students who can compete not only across the state of Minnesota, but across the globe. A well-educated workforce is essential to our local economy and Minnesota’s long-term economic success. • Supporting the levy benefits our community directly. The additional money raised by the levy does not flow back to the state or federal government. We have witnessed everything from education payment shifts at the state, to the current government shutdown and debt ceiling debate at the federal level. The local levy on the ballot this fall helps to ensure the financial stability of our schools despite the political games played by state and federal politicians. Making further cuts to

our local schools is not a long-term winning strategy. Supporting the levy will directly benefit our local schools, our children, and the future talent pool for local businesses. Vote “yes” on Nov. 5 in support of strong District 196 schools. MICHAEL GRONEBERG Eagan

To the editor: After reading the latest round of letters supporting the School District 196 levy, it appears more education is in order. After adjusting for the new state funding, passing the levy will increase taxes on the average valued house by $58. But defeating the levy would result in a decrease of $128. That’s still a $186 swing, which is the actual cost of the new levy over the next two years.

Then add the cost of extending the current levy for an additional eight years and the 10-year cost is still around $3,250. That’s obviously more than a few cups of coffee per week.

didate Mike Obermueller believes that positive contributions come from various sources in a government that works well together for people who have an investment in it. His belief comes from a commitment to underlying harmony, based on the shared promise of opportunity for, and the wellbeing of, the people in our diverse country. Obermueller pursued this policy effectively in his work as a state representative in the Legislature in St. Paul, helping to forge bipartisan agreements on education and economic development. In recent weeks people in Congress have insisted they are right, and that government needs to run according to their scenario and script. Musically, they want to write the score. And we’ve heard some jarring, expensive clinkers in the public discourse lately. As a kid, I remember an ad about integration and tolerance. It featured Benny Goodman’s ethnicallymixed jazz quartet, with African-Americans, a Jew, and a Polish-Catholic. This diverse group played together with the excellence, balance and harmony that

America sought in postwar years. Obermueller is a candidate for Congress who remains true to his beliefs, and believes sacrifices in personal opinion can sometimes forward orderly progress in our society. Unlike some, he thinks there can be a positive role to take when a challenge isn’t being addressed elsewhere. He supports the ability of our government to pay its debt, and to avoid unnecessary expenditure from needless shutdown. Interestingly, Obermueller suggests we can do this by listening and harmonizing well together. PAUL HOFFINGER Eagan

Levy approval would avoid more cuts

ceive in District 196, even for households without school-aged children. Good schools help the community by building a stronger and better educated labor force, attracting talented, able, and educated people, attracting high quality employers, decreasing crime, dropout rates, and delinquency, and increasing property values. If this levy does not pass, District 196 will need to cut $10 million for 2014-15, and $20 million for 20152016. It already cut $34 million, including more than 100 teachers, in the last four years. Additional wholesale cuts will negatively impact our students’ schooling and educational experiences. What happens if the new tax levy does not pass on Nov. 5? Class sizes will increase, fifth-grade band and some middle school athletics will disappear, fees will increase for academics, arts, and athletics, student support staff and gifted and talented funding will decrease, and more cuts will be made. District 196 has cut enough in the past four years. What are the tax implications of this proposed levy? For the average house in the school district, valued at $225,000, overall property taxes would increase by $56 comparing last year to next year if the levy were to pass. I am certainly willing to pay the additional taxes to support our schools. I hope others are, too. Please vote to pass the new school levy tax for District 196 on Nov. 5.

To the editor: District 196 has a tax levy vote on the November ballot. If this levy does not pass, District 196 will cut $30 million over the next two academic years and our schools, students, and community will pay the price. Why pass this tax levy? District 196 has excellent schools and it is best for all in our community, the young and the old, that we keep it that way. The education our young people receive in District 196 gives them the tools they need to lead fulfilling and productive lives, to become contributors to society, and to compete in the local, national, and global economy. Our entire community DONNA GIBBONS benefits from the excellent Apple Valley education our students re-

Hookah lounges draw city scrutiny Burnsville will consider new regulations by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Joining other Minnesota cities that have cast a wary eye on hookah tobacco lounges, Burnsville will study possible new regulations on such businesses. Increased regulation of hookah lounges “seems to be a trend,” City Manager Heather Johnston said, with bans in some cities, including Minneapolis. The two hookah lounges in Burnsville have generated complaints from some citizens and from a chiropractor next door to one of them, officials said at a City Council work session Oct. 15. Council members gave the goahead for study of new regulations. Burnsville’s two hookah lounges — Taha Hookah at 12010 County Road 11 and Ignite Hookah Lounge at 2552 Horizon Drive — opened in recent months. Both businesses are near Highway 13. Both have city licenses to sell tobacco, but the intersection of hookah with Minnesota’s Clean Indoor Air Act is another matter. Hookah lounge customers typically rent or are provided hookah water pipes, purchase a bowl of tobacco of their choice and smoke it inside the lounge. A 2007 update of the Clean Indoor Air Act bans smoking in restaurants, bars and private clubs. Some exemptions are al-

lowed, including sampling or lighting of tobacco in tobacco shops. Because the term “sampling” isn’t well-defined in state law, some shop owners have established indoor smoking lounges where patrons linger for hours, according to a transcript of a June 2011 Minneapolis City Council committee meeting. State law allows cities to adopt tougher measures than those in the Clean Indoor Air Act to protect people from secondhand smoke, the transcript said. The sampling exemption is an exploitable loophole, Burnsville Council Member Mary Sherry suggested. “What I find rather amusing is that in this business, sampling means you buy the stuff and then you smoke it,” she said. If you paid for and ate food samples at Costco, “it would be a restaurant,” she said. If you did the same at a liquor store, “it would be a bar.” Doing so at a smoke shop makes it an “indoor smoking lounge,” she said. Minneapolis prohibits tobacco shops from providing smoking devices for sampling and doesn’t allow them to charge a fee for indoor seating. And only sampling of tobacco products furnished by the shop is allowed. Burnsville also has at least one cigar shop, Burn Premium Cigar Specialists at 409 W. Burnsville

Parkway, which has an indoor lounge. But it’s the hookah lounges that have drawn complaints, Community Development Director Jenni Faulkner said. Burnsville chiropractor Stephen McCombs, who occupies the strip mall space next to Ignite Hookah Lounge, has complained to council members about the smoke smell and about loitering and littering outside the lounge. Council Member Bill Coughlin said McCombs reported having once owned the dry cleaner next to the Burn cigar shop, whose smoke smell sometimes bled over into the adjacent coffee shop. “So my sense of things, good or bad, is that it’s really not a city matter; it’s really a landlord-tenant matter,” Coughlin said. As for litter in McCombs’ current parking lot, “it’s still a landlord-tenant problem.” “As bad as I feel for that tenant, I just think the city should tread carefully” on new regulations, said Coughlin, who has himself enjoyed a cigar inside Burn. “Once I choose to go in, they’re smoking, and whether I stay or go, that’s really up to me,” he said. Hookah can also be found in Burnsville at the Mediterranean Cruise Cafe, but it’s done outdoors. John Gessner can be reached at (952) 846-2031 or email john.gessner@ecm-inc.com.

Woman charged with stealing flea, tick repellent from Lakeville Fleet Farm Alleged thefts totalled over $3,700 A felony theft charge was filed Oct. 7 against a Prior Lake woman accused of shoplifting quantities of flea and tick repellent for pets from a Lakeville business. According to the Dakota County criminal complaint, Iryna Saatoff, 42, was prevented from leaving the Lakeville Fleet Farm store May 20 by security officers who told

Lakeville police they saw her put nine packages of Frontline Plus pet products in her purse and attempt to leave the store. After she was apprehended, the complaint said security officers reviewed video surveillance from previous days and saw Saatoff had been in the store on seven days between May 12-20. Each of those days,

Saatoff is allegedly seen on video concealing multiple packages of Frontline and leaving the store without paying for the merchandise. Police state the total value of all the merchandise stolen during that time period is $3,739.20. If convicted, Saatoff faces up to five years in jail and/or a fine between $3,000 and $10,000.

Apartment property manager charged with theft, forgery Alleged thefts of rent money at a Burnsville apartment complex last year are being blamed on the person who managed the property. Kathryn Ann Blankenship, 37, of Brooklyn Park, was charged Oct. 2 with felony counts of aggregating theft and check forgery. Her roommate is also charged in the alleged scheme. Burnsville police received a report last December of employee theft at Shalimar Estates Apartments, 13332 Parkwood Drive. An audit by owner Gaughan Cos. showed rent deposits totaling $6,548 missing for October and November, according to the criminal complaint. Interviewed by a company official, Blankenship said she had deposited all the money in the company bank account and denied taking any of it, the complaint said. The official interviewed several tenants from whom rent was missing. They said they gave Blankenship money orders, and she advised them to leave “pay to the order of ” blank, the complaint said.

Copies of four of the money orders were obtained. Three were made payable to Blankenship and one to her roommate, the complaint said. They were cashed at Walmart stores. The company official also said rent cash payments made by two tenants on Dec. 2, totaling $2,440, were missing, the complaint said. Police interviewed tenants and obtained search warrants. According to the complaint, their investigation showed that between last Oct. 1 and Nov. 30, Blankenship cashed three money orders totaling $672 at a Bloomington Walmart, two money orders totaling $600 at the Burnsville Walmart, and a $350 money order at an unknown location. Also during that period, the roommate, Rachael Elizabeth Ekholm, cashed a $302 money order at the Burnsville Walmart and an $800 money order at an unknown location, the complaint said. Ekholm, 34, of Minneapolis, is also charged with felony aggregating theft and check forgery. — John Gessner

Apple Valley school bus involved in crash No serious injuries reported A group of Apple Valley middle school student had a bumpy start to their day this morning when their school bus was involved in a crash. The crash occurred on 147th Street and Pilot Knob Road just a mile from Scott Highlands Middle School. Police say the driver of a pickup truck thought the intersection was a four-way stop and continued through after stopping just as the bus was crossing as it did not have a stop sign, according to a KSTP-TV report. The bus was carrying about 50 sixth-,

seventh-and eighth-graders, said Scott Highlands Principal Dan Wilharber. No serious injuries were reported. A second vehicle was hit as a result of the crash. The truck was totaled, KSTP reports. Wilharber immediately went to the scene and spoke with students and the drivers. He said some students had sore muscles, but they all appeared to be calm and in good spirits. A second bus picked up the students and brought them to school where they were assessed by the nurse. Parents of the students involved were notified of the incident, Wilharber said. — Jessica Harper

Burnsville looks to strengthen massage ordinance by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Burnsville will take a fresh look at its massage licensing ordinance, City Council members agreed at an Oct. 15 work session. Police Capt. Jef Behnken said city staffers are considering ways to close “loopholes� in the ordinance and ensure that Burnsville massage businesses practice the “professional standards our community wants.� In an interview, Behnken said there have been reports of website postings about “erotic� activities at some Burnsville massage businesses.

Asked about possible prostitution, he said there’s “no prostitution at all that we’re aware of � at any of the businesses. In looking to strengthen its ordinance, Burnsville is following the lead of other cities including Bloomington, Minnetonka, Eden Prairie, Rochester and Woodbury. The Police Department, city licensing staff and city attorney are seeking ordinance changes that would provide for regular inspections of the businesses, which don’t happen now. They’re seeking language to require “appropriate body coverings for employees and customers.�

Other proposed changes are requiring visibility into the businesses (but not the treatment rooms) and ensuring “appropriate advertising practices.� “I would hope you’d also take a look at websites,� Council Member Mary Sherry said. “That’s the current focus,� Behnken replied. City staffers also want language reaffirming that the city will investigate all massage license applicants. The city plans to hold a meeting with existing licenseholders and have ordinance changes ready for council action by next March. Council Member Bill

Coughlin wondered what massage services affiliated with medical clinics would have to say about new regulations. “Whatever’s good for one will have to be good for all,� he said. The city has issued 50 licenses for massage “enterprises� — 40 of them with storefronts and 10 that provide outcall services at various locations. A total of 172 people have massage licenses that allow them to work at only one storefront location. In July 2011 the council approved ordinance changes requiring professional certification and a minimum number

of training hours in massage therapy. The council established a new fee schedule to cover the cost of background checks. “Consideration was also given for the existing licenseholders in place at the time of adoption of the ordinance,� a city staff report said. “Also, input was sought from the existing licenseholders and business community as part of the process.� Since those changes, “there have been some concerns about inadequacies in the ordinance,� the report said.

Split with religion came with consequences

‘Deliverance at Hand’ author set to speak Oct. 20 in Apple Valley

by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Raised a Jehovah’s Witness, James Zimmerman says his break with the religion at age 31 came with painful repercussions. “Immediately, there was a lot of anxiety, confrontation with friends and family, because people who leave are shunned,� said the Burnsville native, now 38. “Those were difficult things to handle at first because that was my life.� Zimmerman, who was a member of two Dakota County congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses, chronicles his split with the religion in the memoir “Deliverance at Hand: The Redemption of a Devout Jehovah’s Witness.� Zimmerman will be discussing his book as the featured speaker at the Minnesota Atheists’ meeting at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 20, at the Apple Valley Community Center, 14603 Hayes Road. The event is free and open to the public. Two years after leaving the Jehovah’s Witnesses, Zimmerman got involved with the Minnesota Atheists,

serving as editor of the nonprofit group’s newsletter, as well as host of the “Atheists Talk� television show. Now a St. Paul resident and employed by a Twin Cities medical device company, he remains active in the Minnesota Atheists as a member of the group’s editorial board. Minnesota Atheists president Eric Jayne, of Apple Valley, said “Deliverance at Hand� helps to shed light on the fallout that can occur when someone leaves a religious community. For Zimmerman, one consequence of leaving the Jehovah’s Witnesses was the end of his relationship with his four grandparents, who are all members of the church. “There are some very powerful family dynamics at play in James’s story that I think are quite interesting and identifiable to many of us regardless of religious – or non-religious – identity,� Jayne said. “I think James does a wonderful job illustrating his struggle with coming out to family, friends and colleagues about his atheist identity.� “Deliverance at Hand� was published this month by Minnesota-

Judge appointed to fill district court vacancy Colleen Goggins King, of New Prague, was appointed to fill the First Judicial District Court vacancy created by the retirement earlier this year of Michael V. Sovis, of Apple Valley. King, who will be chambered at Hastings, works as a partner with New Prague-based Wornson, Goggins, Zard, Neisen, Morris & King, where she maintains a general practice that includes family law, criminal defense, estate planning, probate, conservator/guardianship matters and civil litigation. “Throughout her career, (she) has demonstrated a strong commitment

Colleen Goggins King to justice, and to the wellbeing of her community,� Gov. Mark Dayton said on Tuesday of the appointment he made based

on the Commission on Judicial Selection’s recommendation. “I am pleased to appoint (her) to serve as district court judge, and I am confident she will serve the people of the First District with distinction.� Previously, King served as a part-time public defender for Scott, Dakota and McLeod counties and was an attorney with Apple Valley-based McDonough, Wagner & Ho. She earned her bachelor of arts degree from the College of St. Benedict and her juris doctorate from the Hamline University School of Law. King is a founding board member of the New Prague Area Educa-

Two winners of the prize drawings at Apple Valley’s Sept. 27 “Hole Lot of Art� music and crafts festival have generously donated their prizes to area youths. Pictured from left are: Corrine Simi, Apple Valley Mayor Mary HamannRoland, Barry Haller, and Apple Valley High School Principal Steve Degenaar. Simi, who lost a daughter to cancer two years ago, entered the drawing in hopes of winning a bike to give to a child, and she ended up doing just that. Haller won a guitar and wanted to donate it to a music student at AVHS. The mayor, along with Bill and Nancy Tschohl, arranged for the school to receive the donated items at an Oct. 9 ceremony.

360, from 3A 24 volunteers, it’s the only one open five days a week. Ganz doesn’t just fill orders, stock shelves and trade jokes with fellow volunteers and 360 staffers. He’s a food shelf ambassador, making and maintaining contacts with the local supermarkets, civic organizations, churches and others that donate food. “This is grassroots. This is local community,� Ganz said. “And you get a bigger bang for your buck at this level, no question about it. We rely a lot on volunteers and food donations. You have to go out and go after it. You can’t just sit here and wait for the door to open. It’s like marketing, sales — you have to sell yourself.� Demand is up. From August 2012 through August 2013, the five food shelves had distributed nearly 6 percent more pounds of food

than they had during the same period a year before. “I’ve always looked at the food shelf as the door to get people in to find out what’s really wrong,� he said, referring to other services 360 offers, such as its schoolsuccess program and two resource centers. “Like Napoleon says, an army travels on its stomach, and a hungry kid doesn’t learn much.� 360 staffers do the screening and intake. Food shelf volunteers fill the orders and distribute the food. Ganz recalled one unemployed client — “single father, two kids� — who pulled up in his truck to pick up a food order he’d requested three days before. He brought good news of having been rehired since placing the order. “His cell phone rang while he was taking the order out,� Ganz said. “He just got laid off (again). Guy had tears.

So he and I walked around the parking lot. Can’t do anything about it, but you can listen.� Ganz recalled a couple who had been food shelf clients for a year pulling up to the door in an SUV. “They opened their car, gave me five bags of groceries,� Ganz said. “They said, ‘Here — we’re both working now.’ � He’s a little weak, dehydrated and dizzy from his illnesses, but Ganz is planning his comeback, saying “gloom and doom never got anybody anywhere.� “And you know the worst part about all this? A beer doesn’t even sound good,� he said. “A lot of water, a lot of juice.� John Gessner can be reached at 952846-2031 or email john.gessner@ecm-inc. com.

Lakeville woman, family Education place hopes on brain surgery ition-free financial literacy DCTC receives Assets for Independence grant

Fundraiser set for Lori Williams

by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lori Williams rarely leaves the house anymore. The 38-year-old Lakeville wife, mother, former active volunteer, sales professional and car racing fan has been sidelined with torticollis and dystonia, progressively debilitating conditions that cause uncontrollable muscle spasms and upper body contortions that leave her in excruciating pain. “She has spasms in her neck, her head tilts to the side and she can’t straighten up,� said friend Natalie Bartyzal of Lakeville. Lori’s conditions have become so bad that she has been at home on a morphine drip for about two years, while her husband Andy Williams struggles to care for her and their two sons, while managing work, daily responsibilities, the house and paying rapidly mounting medical bills. Lori’s disorders were triggered after she suffered multiple injuries in three separate car crashes she did not cause, including a rear-end collision and a passenger-side car crash during a ride-along with a Burnsville police officer. That crash was so severe that Andy said rescuers had to cut her out of the squad car, which was hit by a driver running a red light. Lori has spent years meeting doctors around the country, seeking some kind of treatment for her increasingly painful and debilitating symptoms. Nobody offered hope until she met Dr. Michael Rezak, a Chicago neurologist who is now giving the couple hope that Lori can return to a normal life. Previously, Lori was active in Lakeville’s sports community, a busy mom devoted to her family, including sons Chris, 15, and a student at Lakeville South High School,

Lori Williams and Cameron, 11, a sixthgrader at Kenwood Trail Middle School. She and Andy served for about five years as commissioners of the Lakeville Baseball Association’s in-house program and helped coach their boys’ various teams; Lori was well known for helping others in the community and supported her brother’s racing activities at Elko Speedway. Lori used to work in sales; more recently she ran a child care. Now, Lori is confined to a wheelchair, barely able to stand and in constant pain. “She wants to go back to work,� Andy said. “She hates staying home.� With Rezak, Lori has new hope of returning to a closer reflection of her previous life. She is scheduled to undergo brain surgery in December to implant two electrodes that would eventually receive mild shock waves. Andy said the treatments are expected to reduce the pain and alleviate symptoms. Preparing for the surgery requires the family to make five or six trips to Chicago, with Andy taking days off his job with the city of Minneapolis and adding to the pile of medical bills. “We’re struggling,� Andy said. “There are a lot of medical bills we are trying to pay that puts a

damper on everything. There is not an ounce of extra money.� Andy said he is also frequently fighting with the insurance company to cover treatments. A fundraiser is planned 6-9:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 19, at Babe’s Sports Bar & Grill, 20685 Holyoke Ave. in Lakeville.

FITNESS, from 1A

Children who attend Community of Hope Church in Rosemount listen to Ted Foreman speak prior to their volunteer efforts with Operation Christmas Child. Jeri Austad, children’s ministry director, is to Foreman’s right. (Photo submitted) SHOEBOX, from 1A what it was like to be him. ‌ Many people are tearyeyed after hearing him speak.â€? Foreman said the shoebox he received decades ago was the first gift he had ever received. “Growing up in Russia was very difficult,â€? he said, “especially because I was in an orphanage from a very young age. I lacked a loving family. I did not get to see my sisters very often. It was depressing and hopeless.â€? He said he remembers having to share everything with the other children in the orphanage. “I even shared a towel with my whole group of almost 20 kids,â€? he said. Foreman, a full-time diesel technician with Hoglund Bus and Truck in Monticello, said when he was young he never imagined he would live in America, “but God has the ultimate plan. He began working in my life with an Operation Christmas Child shoebox.â€? Foreman and his two sisters were adopted by a

Minnesota family when he was 13. He was reconnected with Operation Christmas Child when his adoptive parents happened to volunteer one year to pack gift shoeboxes. That’s when Foreman realized that it was Operation Christmas Child that sent his shoebox. In nearly all of his spare time, Foreman volunteers with Operation Christmas Child, relating his story to groups like the one in Rosemount. He’s also spoken at the organization’s national convention in Orlando, Fla. “This ministry plays a huge role in my life,� he said. “It changed my life and it continues to bless me. I’m so privileged to serve with Operation Christmas Child.� Community of Hope Church is one of many local contributors that will pack an estimated 24,500 gift-filled shoeboxes in the southern Twin Cities region, according to Nauman. She said that goal is a 10 percent increase from last year.

Since 1993, more than 100 million boys and girls in more than 130 countries have received shoebox gifts from Operation Christmas Child. Samaritan’s Purse works with local churches and ministry partners to deliver the gifts. Drop-off sites for the project that will be accepting items starting Nov. 18 are River Valley Church, 14898 Energy Way, Apple Valley; Lord of Life Lutheran Church, 16200 Dodd Lane, Lakeville; Prince of Peace, 13901 Fairview Drive, Burnsville; and Grace Slavic Church, 1985 Diffley Road, Eagan. Local groups and organizations can still be involved. National Collection Week will be from Nov. 18-22 when a site in Minneapolis will be open to organize and send out the shoeboxes. People can visit the website www.samaritanspurse.org/operationchristmas-child to find out more. Email Tad Johnson at tad.johnson@ecm-inc.com.

“I don’t want to decide what they do,� McCarthy said. “I want them to do what they want.� He has each student in class for 25 minutes every other day. That’s not enough, he said, so he developed homework. There’s no denying he’s passionate about health. “Obesity rates are on the rise,� he said. “Unless kids develop heathy eating habits and a habit of movement early in life, it doesn’t look good.� To McCarthy, there’s more benefits to being an active person than a ticket to a basketball game. “This is affecting their academic performance,� McCarthy said. “When kids are active, their focus improves. The more focused, the more ready they are to learn. They’re heathier. RAID, from 1A partment was on the scene during the apprehension of the suspect. Although the address was in Farmington, it was under Lakeville’s jurisdiction near the border. Washington was convicted in 2012 of felony domestic assault and two counts of violating no contact orders by the Dakota County Sheriff’s office. Criminal complaints since 2006 list Washington with a Farmington address. His arrest was part of a metro-wide effort by a joint law enforcement task force operation entitled “Safe Streets� last week to arrest gang members. The criminal charges involved the alleged gang called the East Side Boys in St. Paul, and the arrests were a product of a yearlong partnership among federal, state and local agencies, according to Ramsey County Attorney

They’re in school more often instead of being home sick. Every time the body moves, it creates brain cells. It relieves stress. As you feel better, you look better, you’re self confidence is better. It helps you sleep better. You listen better. There’s less problems at school.� Test scores at Meadowview have gone up and discipline has gone down since the program started, according to McCarthy. In the next few weeks, McCarthy is giving presentations at Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin teacher conferences about the movement and how it affects the brain. He’s the vice president of sport and physical eduction on the Central District American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance board and president of the Minnesota chapter. He was the 2012 Minneso-

ta Elementary Physical Education Teacher of the Year, and he coaches track, basketball and soccer. Last year he helped the school win $25,000 in a contest sponsored by ChildObesity180. In the past three years he raised almost $30,000 in donations for his program. Now he has the Timberwolves and the Lynx to help inspire more young people. “My biggest obstacle is lack of time with students,� McCarthy said. “Hopefully they can be active all seven days after school.� McCarthy is out exercising as well. He competes in triathlons when he’s not encouraging people to be active. For more information about the program, visit www.nba.com/timberwolves/wolvesfit.

John Choi. “I applaud the work of this great partnership and we look forward to doing everything we can to hold the defendants accountable for their alleged crimes,� Choi said. Included in the task force are officers and leadership from the St. Paul Police Department, Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, FBI, Minneapolis Police Department and Ramsey County Attorney’s Office. The East Side Boys were implicated in a number of recent crimes including the near fatal beating of bystander Ray Widstrand on Aug. 4. The Farmington Police Department doesn’t consider crime related to gangs a problem in the community. “We’re too far removed from those urban areas that attract that type,� Farmington police Chief Brian Lindquist said. “For lack of a better

word, we’re a bedroom community. We don’t afford the amenities that gangs are looking for. There’s no anonymity here. Most of the people are rather aware of what illegal activity looks like and give us a phone call. You’re not going to set up shop down here and not have someone notice something. You’re not going to hide under the radar here. Not as a group anyway.� Lindquist said Farmington might have a member or two of a motorcycle gang, or single member of a street gang, but not an entire group. “The only time it pops up is after a (television) special on gangs and middle school kids will go buy spray paint,� Lindquist said. “We always find them out right away.�

Asian carp expert: Invasive species can be controlled Healthy game fish populations prey on Asian carp by T.W. Budig SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The spread of the invasive fish is not without its ironies, Asian carp expert Duane Chapman said. Chapman, who helped draft national policy on Asian carp, appeared at the University of Minnesota on Tuesday, Oct. 8, as part of a speakers’ series sponsored by the Freshwater Society. “(Chapman) knows one heck of a lot about carp,� professor Peter Sorensen of the University of Minnesota Aquatic Invasive Species Research Center said. Asian carp were originally imported into the United States in keeping with the “Silent Spring� ethos, Chapman said. That is, the fish could eat unwanted vegetation or perform other biological chores without humans needing to rely on the use of chemicals. The story that these imports escaped into American waters because of flooding of fish ponds is a myth, Chapman said. Within a year of introduction, silver carp were caught in the wild, Chapman said. Silver carp – famed leapers and one of the Asian carp varieties considered invasive – are capable of jumping 10 feet

in the air and emptying boats by slamming boat throttles into high, Chapman said. In a sense, Asian carp provide verification to the history-repeats-itself theory. That’s because common carp, which dirty water by tearing up vegetation, were knowingly introduced into the United States in the 1870s, according to the University of Minnesota. “They’re good buddies,� Sorensen said of the carp, adding that the two groups don’t compete because their feeding habits are different. Although flatly saying biologists are not very good at risk assessment when it comes to Asian carp, these invasive species can be controlled, Chapman said. It took years to develop controls for sea lampreys, once depleting trout in the Great Lakes, but it was done. “We got a shot here, too,� Chapman said. Currently, the vanguard of Asian carp on the Mississippi River is at Lock and Dam 19 in Keokuk, Iowa, Chapman explained. While dried remains of a silver carp were found this summer on a dam abutment near Winona, he noted, there’s nothing like a full-scale invasion

Chapman believes controls can be found to manage Asian carp. (Photo by T.W. Budig) upriver at this time. “I wouldn’t sell my boat yet,� Chapman said. “(There are) very, very few fish upriver.� It remains a big question whether Asian carp can reproduce in Minnesota waters, he said. Not that there isn’t biological potential. One female Asian carp carried more than three million eggs, and the carp can spawn at different times of the year. “They’re really fecund,�

eries manager Brad Parsons, one of the panelists at the lecture, indicated that while a full-blown invasion of Asian carp into Minnesota waters could be years away, things could also change rapidly. “No, we can’t stay hyper-vigilant,� Parsons said of the current level of focus on Asian carp. But Parsons spoke of keeping active in efforts to curb the spread of the carp. Sorensen spoke of the state being at the beginning of the Asian carp invasion. Minnesotans are tracking the issue. A poll released in August by the Stop Carp Coalition showed six out of 10 Minnesotans reported hearing a lot or some about a fish called the Asian carp. While ironies exist with Asian carp, an irony of sorts also existed with Chapman’s visit. Because of the federal government shutdown, Chapman, a federal employee, came as a private citizen.

Chapman said. This is a worry. Asian carp are capable of filtering out 90 percent of larger suspended plant matter in water. Because Asian carp can filter materials as small as 4 microns, or, as a decimal, 0.00016 inches, researchers are looking at developing toxins so small as to only poison Asian carp. Studies from Europe suggest Asian carp can negatively affect game fish populations.

Asian carp can get big. A bighead carp caught in Missouri weighed 106 pounds, Chapman said. Healthy game fish populations are considered one means of controlling Asian carp, and Chapman noted that bluegills, black bass and catfish prey on Asian carp, the latter capable of eating silver carp that are almost a foot long. Asian carp spawn in rivers, and it’s believed the minimum length of river needed for spawning is 26 miles, Chapman said. While taking questions, Chapman was asked about erratic environmental DNA testing results for Asian carp in Minnesota, one batch showing positive hits for Asian carp above the Coon Rapids Dam, for instance, with later testing failing to replicate the results. Chapman indicated that he interprets DNA testing results cautiously. It doesn’t take much to get a piece of Asian carp DNA upriver, he said. More sensitive forms of testing are needed, Chapman said.

Sports Rosemount still owns SSC boys cross country Irish win team title for 4th time by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The names might change but the results don’t. Every time Rosemount’s boys have competed in the South Suburban Conference cross country championships they have left with the title. The Irish resumed their domination of South Suburban cross country last Friday, winning the team championship by 13 points over Burnsville at Eagan High School. Rosemount has won the SSC

title every year since 2010, when the conference was founded. The Irish have won five conference championships in the last seven years dating to 2007, when they won the Lake Conference. Burnsville High School senior Ali Ahmed won the individual championship, completing the 5,000-meter course in 16 minutes, 28.1 seconds. Rosemount and Burnsville had a close race for the team championship. The Irish’s fourth and fifth runners helped them carry the day by placing in the top 20, while the Blaze’s fourth and fifth runners

finished 23rd and 24th. Junior Sam Ivanecky led the Irish by finishing fifth in 16:58.4. Cody Sedbrook, a senior, was ninth in 17:08.5. Ryan Condon was 12th in 17:11.9, Ryan Brumm was 16th in 17:23.2 and Clayton Smith finished 19th in 17:25.9. Rosemount’s top five runners earned all-conference recognition, which goes to the top 20 runners in the conference meet. The victory at the conference meet was the third of the season for Rosemount, which also took first at the Apple Jack Invite in Lakeville and

the Ev Berg Invitational in Owatonna. The Irish, 12th in the state Class AA rankings, will defend their championship at the Section 3AA meet Oct. 24 at Valleywood Golf Course in Apple Valley. Burnsville’s Ahmed was about 13 seconds ahead of Lakeville South’s Wali Ibrahim in the boys individual race. Blaze junior Faysal Mahmoud was eighth in 17:07.9. Mahmoud and Ahmed qualified for the state Class AA meet last year. Blaze senior Mitch Brown also earned a spot on the all-conference team by finishing 18th in

LV North downs Farmington girls; boys fall at Owatonna SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lakeville North went into the season as one of the teams to watch in state high school girls soccer, but by late September the Panthers were in danger of coming apart. After starting with eight consecutive victories, they went through a six-game streak in which they only won once, and the tension was rising. But North regained its equilibrium just in time for the Section 1AA playoffs and earned a place in the state tournament for the third consecutive year. The Panthers beat Farmington 2-0 in the section final Tuesday night at Lakeville North High School. “We’ve definitely picked it up,” since the late-season slump, said North senior defender Lauren Brownrigg. “We have a good defense, and our forwards are playing better and better. We know we have a chance against any team in the state tournament.” North (13-2-3) will play in the state quarterfinals next week, and a victory there means a third consecutive trip to the Metrodome for the state semifinals. The opponent, date and location for the Class

AA quarterfinal game will be determined this weekend. Brownrigg scored on a penalty kick in the first half and Alyssa Ettl knocked in a rebound with 6 minutes, 35 seconds remaining in the section final. The North defense was typically stingy as the Panthers earned their 14th shutout. Lakeville North did not allow a goal in the Section 1AA tournament. Farmington (10-5-4), playing in the section final for the second consecutive year, had reason for optimism after playing Lakeville North to a scoreless tie in a regular-season game Sept. 28. The third-seeded Tigers also won 1-0 at No. 2 seed Lakeville South in Saturday’s semifinals on Kelly Kornmann’s firsthalf goal. All-State defender Isabelle Ferm set up the goal, and goalkeeper Ashley Becker earned the shutout. But the Tigers ran into a wall in the final, Lakeville North’s defense. The Panthers have allowed just six goals all season.

victory away. While the Tiger girls were battling Lakeville North in their section final, Farmington’s boys went to Owatonna for the Section 1AA boys championship game. Owatonna defeated the Tigers 2-0, winning its ninth consecutive game. Farmington finished 8-5-5. Farmington defeated Rochester John Marshall 4-1 and Lakeville North 1-0 to reach the section final for the first time in the boys program’s history. Jared Wolt scored the only goal of the game against Lakeville North. Blake Smith crossed the

ball to Wolt after receiving a throw-in from Ryan Parco. Goalkeeper Jake Agnew made 21 saves. Wolt was able to shake loose from the North defense for several scoring chances, which is “not an easy feat as he is doubleand triple-teamed when he gets the ball,” Tigers coach Julian Buss said. Farmington and Lakeville North will see more of each other next year when Farmington joins the South Suburban Conference, Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

Rosemount topped a Section 3AA field that included Eastview, Woodbury, East Ridge, CretinDerham Hall, Park of Cottage Grove and St. Paul Highland Park/St. Paul Academy. Irish teams took first place in all three relays. Jessica Troen, Olivia Johnston, Abby Tesch and Michelle Simms took first in the 200 medley relay in 1:54.21. Grace Herron, Cassandra Hutchins,

Katie Garrity and Megan Wenman won the 200 freestyle relay in 1:41.60. Herron, Garrity, Johnston and Wenman swam to victory in the 400 freestyle relay in 3:39.57.

All-conference runners for the Panthers were junior Justin Hanson (fourth, 16:57.4), senior Jason Windhorn (14th, 17:15.6) and sophomore Luke Anderson (17th, 17:23.4). Apple Valley finished fifth with 137 points. Junior Grant Udelhofen earned an all-conference spot by finishing seventh in 17:06.1. Eagan was sixth with 147 points. Senior Dan Podpeskar finished 20th

an Hett was the individual champion, finishing the 4,000-meter course in 14 minutes, 50.8 seconds. Lakeville South’s top seven runners finished 21st or higher at the conference meet; no other team had more than three

in the top 21. Rosemount had two all-conference runners – senior Hannah Grim (seventh, 15:30.8) and eighth-grader Sydney Hansen (ninth, 15:34.8). The top 20 finishers earned all-conference.

Holy Angels made plenty of mistakes in its football game against Farmington – including committing 15 penalties – but the Tigers not only couldn’t capitalize, they made a few critical errors of their own in a 30-17 loss last Friday. Farmington lost its third consecutive game after opening the season with four straight victories. The Tigers closed the regular season at home against Shakopee on Wednesday (the game took place after this edition went to press) and will play their first Class 6A playoff game Oct. 25. The Tigers’ problems against Holy Angels started when they were called for a personal foul on their first play from scrimmage. That pushed them back inside their 10yard line, and they eventually were forced to punt into a strong wind, with Holy Angels taking over at the Farmington 30. The Stars threw a 30-yard touchdown pass on their first play from scrimmage. From there, Holy Angels rode to a 30-3 lead on the running ability of quarterback Anthony Eckholm, who gained 157 yards on 12 carries and had touchdown runs of 67 and 55 yards. Farmington quarterback Tyler Van Winkle scored on a 9-yard run in the third quarter. Van Winkle threw a 62yard touchdown pass to Mackinley Bassett with 11 minutes remaining. Mason Gaylord kicked a 22-yard field goal in the second quarter. The Tigers’ regular kicker, senior Reid Taubenheim, was injured early in the game and did not return. Farmington passed for 213 of its 269 total yards. Bassett caught five passes for 131 yards. This week’s game against Shakopee is the Tigers’ last in the Missota Conference. The conference is disbanding after the 2013-14 school year, and Farmington will join the South Suburban Conference. Six of the eight

teams in the Tigers’ playoff section are South Suburban members.

Rosemount Rosemount stayed on course for its South Suburban Conference showdown against Lakeville North by routing Bloomington Jefferson 61-14 last Friday. The Irish (6-1 overall, 6-0 SSC) won their sixth consecutive game. The winner of Wednesday’s home game against Lakeville North (played after this edition went to press) will win the conference title. Jefferson went into last week’s game with a miniscule chance of tying for the SSC title, but Rosemount dashed that by scoring three touchdowns in the first quarter. The Irish outgained Jefferson 476-146 and had a 43-0 lead at halftime. More than half of Jefferson’s yardage came on a 75-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter. Junior running back Dimitri Williams scored Rosemount’s first three touchdowns, one on a 41yard pass from Jackson Erdmann and the other two on runs of 12 and 4 yards. Erdmann also completed an 18-yard scoring pass to Tyler Hartigan. Tyrek Cross and Lowell Green had touchdown runs, and Ethan Link threw a 46-yard touchdown pass to Eli Roble. Rosemount also scored when Gabe Ehlers recovered the ball in the end zone after Cross fumbled at the Jefferson 2. Brandon Ekern added a 32-yard field goal. The Class 6A playoffs begin Oct. 25. Pairings for the Section 3 quarterfinal round had not been released at Sun Thisweek presstime, but Rosemount is all but assured of opening at home. If the Irish advance past the first round, their second playoff game – against a “crossover” opponent from Section 4 – also likely would be at home.

Sports Briefs Jackson to West Point Rosemount High School senior Grant Jackson, a three-sport athlete, has verbally committed to compete in track and field at the U.S. Military Academy. Jackson placed second in the 200 meters at the 2013 state Class AA meet and ran on a 4x100 relay team that broke school and South Suburban Conference records. He also competes for the wrestling team and is a running back for the football team. Jackson was accepted to West Point in early September and committed last week after returning from an official recruiting visit. His older brother Adam, who also was an RHS ath-

lete, is in his second year at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado.

*NOTICE OF SPECIAL ELECTION INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 194 (LAKEVILLE) STATE OF MINNESOTA NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a special election has been called and will be held in and for Independent School District No. 194 (Lakeville), State of Minnesota, on Tuesday, November 5, 2013, for the purpose of voting on the following question: ____________________________________________________________________________

SCHOOL DISTRICT BALLOT QUESTION 1 APPROVAL OF SCHOOL DISTRICT REFERENDUM REVENUE AUTHORIZATION

YES NO

ONE-MAN, from 1A cus on recording and performing.” Iverson said he has performed at weddings for 25 years, playing mostly classical and acoustic guitar. More recently, however, he switched to solo performances, which he started doing just a few years ago and began doing shows last summer. The one-man band, he said, was his motivation for exercise. In 2006, Iverson was rear-ended by a distracted driver who failed to hit his breaks after coming off an entrance ramp in Bloomington. Iverson said the impact snapped his neck backward, which made his muscles too swollen for surgery. Iverson said he was prescribed medication, which caused his hip to fracture and gave him trouble with his back. Since then, Iverson has had eight major surgeries, with a ninth surgery, a neurological operation, quickly approaching. The surgeries have included fusions of multiple vertebrae, some of which came apart and required more operations to fuse together again. He has also endured various hip surgeries, in which Iverson said doctors inserted a steel hip and later replaced with a titanium one after he had an allergic reaction to steel. Doctors also needed to replace multiple screws that had come undone. “I like telling that sto-

ry,” he said with a smile. “I get to tell people I have screws loose.” The multiple operations have left him with a numbing feeling in his right hand and nerve damage in his left leg. Iverson worries about his upcoming neurological surgery. “The scary part is they need to shove my throat aside,” he said. “I’m worried it might screw up my vocal chords, but I’m crossing my fingers that doesn’t happen.” Despite the multiple surgeries, Iverson hasn’t let that stop him from doing what he loves. He said he prefers to use his drum set as physical therapy, because he didn’t like doing the exercises prescribed by his doctors. “I never liked rubber bands, you know, physical therapy stuff,” he said. “But drums, those are fun.” Iverson still performs and teaches despite his injuries. He said he gets frustrated when he is in so much pain he can’t physically play, but says he prefers it over the alternative, which is to quit playing altogether. Along with performing at weddings, Iverson can now officiate them. After shadowing a friend and previous student, Iverson recently became ordained after his friend pointed out how good he was with people. “He said I was a real people person, and he liked my philosophy,” Iverson

said. “I have a very good idea of what happens at weddings, you’re kind of like the conductor.” Since completing his training in August, Iverson said he has officiated four weddings. Though he considers himself an atheist, he says he has no problem officiating a religious wedding. “I may be an atheist, but I’m not a judgmental person,” he said. “I don’t care if you’re gay, straight, religious, or non-religious, it doesn’t matter to me.” Iverson is also part of the Community Education District 196 Highland Guitar Ensemble, through which he performs with other guitar players. “It’s basically orchestra for guitar,” he said. He teaches Monday through Saturday and performs at local bars. He said bars are more fun to play, but don’t make him as much money as weddings. He keeps a tip jar out while he performs, but says he usually uses his tips to pay for the meals and drinks of friends and fans who support him. A car crash left him with multiple surgeries and some pain, but Iverson doesn’t let that stop him from doing what he loves, which is playing music and helping others. As long as he can still play, he says he will keep going. Sara Potzmann is studying journalism at the University of Minnesota.

She had 41 kills in 4 sets against Eagan. She has verbally committed to Marquette University. The Lakeville North team is undefeated in match play.

Mark Ruhl proves once again that he is an integral part of the Lakeville South Offense. The Senior Captain lines up behind the quarterback as a runner, and out wide as a receiver and gets the job done both as a rusher and pass catcher. Mark’s ability lends itself to Special Teams, where he makes his mark as a kick returner. His efforts almost single handedly helped the Cougars beat Wayzata, one of the top teams in the state. When leading in a game, the Cougars rely on Mark to seal the game by gaining first downs. When behind, the Cougars trust that Mark Ruhl will come up with a big play when needed to keep them in the game. To date, Mark has rushed for 420 yards, and three touchdowns. He has 13 receptions for 157 Yards. Mark Averages 20 yards gained every time he returns a kick. Ruhl’s commitment to the game of football, and his teammates bring credit on himself and Lakeville South High School. He is truly deserving of Male Athlete of the Week.

Vote tally crowns new tapir calf a ‘princess’ The Minnesota Zoo’s female Malayan tapir calf, the first born at the zoo in more than 20 years, has been named “Amirah� (pronounced “ah MEER ah�) through a public naming contest. Amirah, which means princess, was the winning name with 401 votes. Amirah, born July 20, has quickly become a guest favorite at the Apple Valley zoo. Growing rapidly, she now weighs 101 pounds and can be seen on exhibit each morning with her mother “Bertie.� For the first 6-8 months of life, tapir calves resemble furry

watermelons with legs. They are dark brown to black with alternating bands of yellowish-white stripes and spots. Young tapirs can weigh as much as 450 pounds at one year of age and reach adult size in about 2-3 years. One of the most endangered animals in Southeast Asia, Malayan tapir populations are declining due to habitat loss from deforestation for agricultural palm oil plantations. Palm oil is used in many food products, cosmetics, and bath products. People can help save tropical forests that are

home to tapirs and other wildlife by purchasing products that use sustainable palm oil. More information is at www. mnzoo.org/DoOneThing/shopping.asp. In human care, the Malayan tapir is managed for breeding purposes by a Species Survival Plan, which, through the coordinated efforts of several zoos throughout the United States, helps maintain the gene pool for the future aid of the wild population. The zoo had four prior Malayan tapir births, the last one occurring in 1991.
