MPCA likely to take lead on UMore cleanup State agency says Army Corps and University of Minnesota will pay for it by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

It appears that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency will investigate and clean up contamination at UMore Park in Rosemount and hold the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the University of Minnesota responsible for paying for it. The corps and the university have until Dec. 19 to submit information prior to the MPCA issuing a Request for Response Action to conduct the inves-

tigations and clean up under its guidance, according to a Nov. 5 letter. The corps and the university had the opportunity to enter into a cooperative cleanup agreement, but the corps maintains it is not a “responsible party� for the contamination left behind from the former World War II munitions plant – Gopher Ordnance Works. “We continue in our belief that the United States has fulfilled any obligations it may have with respect to the prop-

erty,� wrote Stanley E. Tracey, assistant district counsel for the Omaha, Neb.-based corps, which handles cleanup efforts for the Department of Defense and includes Minnesota, in a June letter to the MPCA. U of M General Counsel William Donohue said on Friday the university, which the MPCA says is the other responsible party, since other contamination is believed to be from former tenants the university contracted with and the university

itself, would participate a cleanup agreement only if the corps participates. “We will meet with the PCA,� Donohue said. “Our goal is to deal with the environmental concerns in a responsible way.� In a June 26 letter, the MPCA wrote it is willing to initiate court proceedings and impose fines under state law to clean up the site and recover costs, but welcomed collaboration on the part of the corps and university. The corps said the

terms of the land transfer in 1948 removed it from responsibility for any residual contamination. Donohue said that the corps’ past practice with regard to cleanup of such sites, including its participation in UMore studies up until 2006, shows it should participate in the cleanup related to the former munitions plant. About 20 years ago, the corps assisted the state of West Virginia in providing about $100 million in See UMORE, 8A

Wendy Wustenberg and her son Russell were on vacation in Plymouth, Mass., three years ago when she learned that one of the original passengers on the Mayflower, Myles Standish, brought a flock of English Leicester longwool sheep to the new country. This was interesting because Wustenberg and her family has a flock of the sheep, a rare breed in the United States, and she is the 12th cousin of Standish. Wustenberg has always known she was a descendant of the Mayflower. She grew up with a large painting of the Mayflower above her parents’ piano. “It’s something my mother (Ruth Morris Wiberg) took a deep interest in,� Wustenberg said. “She was the person who cared the most and taught me about the Mayflower, but I admit when I was younger, it wasn’t as meaningful to me.� As a child she would tell her classmates that she was a descendant, but the students didn’t believe her, so she only talked about it with her family. She became more interested in her teens during a trip to East

The Farmington School District is in the planning stages for a new school for elementary-age students that would start next school year. The new school could serve about 100 students at the Instructional Services Center where the district can implement its strategic plan of innovation and customized education on a smaller scale. It would open its doors

in fall 2014 starting with fourth- through sixthgraders. Eventually it could be for kindergarten through eighth grade, according to Superintendent Jay Haugen. The school’s definition is still being written, but the district has a design team of teachers and staff that’s meeting in early December to begin planning. It would be a school where students and teachers would have more freedom to progress. “The idea is every student, even those who struggle academically, but they have some things inside them they’re really good at,� Haugen said. “Often there are things See SCHOOL, 14A

the adjutant general of the Minnesota National Guard, Richard Nash. There will be a performance by the North Star Brass Quintet from the 34th Infantry Division Band and a video showcasing the efforts of the past five years. The event is free. There is no need to RSVP. The Farmington Yellow Ribbon committee has 25 members who meet once a month along with about 300 volunteers and student chapter at the high school. The group holds monthly veteran dinners at 6 p.m. on first Monday of every month September through May at a rotating location among 18 area churches and Dakota Electric. “We try to make sure we’ve connected with every military veteran in the community,� Kuyper said. They also have a team of volunteers who help military families with a variety of tasks such as moving, snow shoveling, lawn care and house cleaning. “Initially it was to help families with deployed members, but we support veterans of any age,� Kuyper said. “It has really helped our community come together.� The Farmington Police Department also informs the committee if there’s a military veteran in crisis. “We’ve found help for a homeless veteran before,� Kuyper said. “We can’t help financially, but we can connect them with resources. There hasn’t been a request we haven’t met.� The program is getting national attention. Last February, Kuyper went to Washington, D.C., to visit with first lady Michelle Obama. “First lady Michelle Obama and her team want to get something started across the country,� Kuyper said. “It’s become the national model for grassroots support for the military. It really was this group in Farmington that got it started and it was the success that got it started in the state.� It all started in Farmington about five years ago when Gov. Tim Pawlenty proclaimed Farmington to be the first Yellow Ribbon community. “It’s been a phenomenal five years,� Kuyper said.

Helping military veterans and their families is a noble venture, but it’s hard to know where to start. Five years ago the Minnesota National Guard was looking for a way to guide communities to help reintegrate service members back to civilian life and support their families. There wasn’t any structure, so a group of citizens in Farmington worked with the National Guard and Minnesota Humphrey Institute to create a Yellow Ribbon Network of community groups in schools, churches and businesses. “We wanted to answer one question: How can we be a community that goes over and above helping our service members and their families?� Annette Kuyper said. “We documented what works and what doesn’t. It became the blueprint for Beyond the Yellow Ribbon.� At the time, Kuyper was working for Target Corporation while her son was deployed, and she was looking for ways to help. Kuyper initiated the program and now oversees the entire Beyond the Yellow Ribbon program as the director of military outreach with the Department of Military Affairs. There are 198 Beyond the Yellow Ribbon communities in Minnesota, including all of the large cities in Dakota County. Farmington was the first, and now it’s time to celebrate. A five-year anniversary gala will begin with an hors d’oeuvre reception at 6 p.m. and a program at 7 p.m. Dec. 6 in the Farmington High School auditorium. Andy Rogers Speakers include Gov. Mark Dayton, Email retired Maj. Gen. Larry Shellito, and andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Farmington City’s foreclosures plummet Housing market board will select looking strong boundary change plan Dec. 9 by Andy Rogers

move from Akin Road to Meadowview. Students off Camden Path, Court and Circle would go from Farmington Elementary to Meadowview. Countryview, Parkview Ponds and Mystic Meadow neighborhoods would move from Dodge to Boeckman Middle School. The black option affects 269 students, the highest number, but it’s the most balanced student population option. It requires additional Countryview neighborhood transportation. Crossroads and Autumn Meadows neighborhoods would move from North Trail to Meadowview. Countryview neighborhood students would move from Akin Road to North Trail. Students off Camden streets would change from Farmington Elementary to Riverview. Students from the Middle Creek, Crossroads, Autumn Meadows and Mystic Meadows neighborhoods would change from Dodge to Boeckman Middle School. The white option affects 225 students. Autumn Meadows and Dakota Estates neighborhoods would attend Meadowview and Camden neighborhood students would attend Riverview. Autumn Meadows, Dakota Estates, Parkview Ponds and Mystic Meadows students would attend Boeckman Middle School. An application could be filed to allow students to attend their original schools. Depending on the option, the district might look at altering school-start times in order to create a more efficient bus schedule.

Upon further review, the Farmington School District has cancelled a Dec. 3 public input meeting about district boundary changes because the Attendance Area Committee doesn’t plan on making any alterations to its three options. The committee scheduled the Dec. 3 meeting anticipating changes, but members determined they could move forward with the current options. “We didn’t make any changes so there will be no more public meetings,� School Board Chairwoman Tera Lee said at Monday’s board meeting. The new attendance boundaries will be considered by the School Board on Dec. 9 at Boeckman Middle School. The Attendance Area Committee plans to recommend one of the three plans and the board will make a final vote. The district had three public meetings to present the options in November. Boundary changes are needed for a variety of reasons, including the addition of all-day kindergarten and unbalanced enrollment at elementary and middle schools. Akin Road, Farmington, and North Trail elementary schools are over capacity, while Riverview and Meadowview are under capacity. Levi Dodge Middle School has 108 students more than Boeckman Middle School. In all of the plans, students in the area west of the railroad tracks and north of Maple Street would move from Farmington Elementary to Riverview. The orange option affects 216 students, which Email Andy Rogers at is the lowest number. andy.rogers@ecm-inc. Countryview neigh- com. borhood students would

At the epicenter of the recession in the mid-2000s were foreclosures, but more than six years later, the list is growing shorter. In 2012, there were 223 foreclosures in Farmington. In 2013 from January to October, there have been 62, according to the Dakota County Community Development Agency. “It’s a significant improvement,� Dakota County Commissioner Mike Slavik said. “People are getting back into building. Countywide, it’s going down, but Farmington has done much better this year.� Farmington isn’t the only city that has seen decreases. In Dakota County, from January to October, foreclosures decreased from 1,525 in 2012 to 820 in 2013.

Notice of Pendency numbers, which are filed by mortgage company attorneys to start the formal foreclosure process, are also down. From January to October 2012, there were 2,365. In 2013, it’s down to 1,294. “It’s speculation, but based on the cases we see, we do know many existing clients are going back to work,� Dakota County Community Development Agency home ownership specialist Kwame OwusuAcheampong said. “More than 50 percent initially came to us because they fell behind due to loss of income or reduction of income. Now they’re making enough to make the payments.� Increasing residential values have inspired homeowners to keep their homes. “We hear them say they want to stay in the home because the value has gone up,� Owusu-Acheampong said. “It makes more economic sense now to stay in the home.� Other reasons people had for

falling behind in payments were because they were struggling with their specific loan. “Subprime mortgages were giving some people hardship,� OwusuAcheampong said. “Most of the people we see now have fairly good terms.� The CDA anticipates foreclosure notices will continue to decrease. The foreclosure epidemic infected Dakota County in 2007 and peaked in 2010. The CDA offers free mortgage counseling for individuals struggling with their payments. “Even though the foreclosure situation is getting better, we’re here with foreclosure counseling,� homeownership specialist Shannon Gerving said. “If you’re struggling or have questions with the process, we’re here.� More information can be found at www.dakotacda.org.

Charter files federal lawsuit against Lakeville City Council tables issue to seek resolution by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Current Lakeville Charter cable customers could be on the hook for years of back fees the city says it’s owed. Charter Communications has filed a federal lawsuit against the city of Lakeville disputing the city’s findings that the company violated its franchise agreement and owes Lakeville $565,928. The company’s lawsuit demands a jury decide the case. Lakeville officials earlier this year asserted Charter should have

been charging customers 50 cents per subscriber for educational and government fee and turning it over to the city for the past 15 years. At first, the city claimed Charter owed almost $1 million in back fees, but has since determined it can legally recoup only six years of unpaid fees at 6 percent interest rate to total $565,928. Charter officials claim the city relieved the company of charging the EG fee in 1999, and never asked for the money before, despite two audits since signing the franchise agreement in November 1998. Charter has been charging cus-

tomers the 50 cents per-subscriber EG fee since August, and according to a Nov. 18 letter from Charter to City Administrator Steve Mielke, will raise its rates in January. In the letter, LeeAnn Herrera, Charter’s government relations director, stated the company is increasing its rates to “reflect cost changes in the marketplace.� Charter’s broadcast TV surcharge will increase from $2.15 to $3.50, and most services, including limited basic and expanded service, will increase by $1; Latino View will See CHARTER, 14A

Opinion Congratulations, concerns about school referendum victories by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Congratulations to the many parents, community members and educators who produced a record approval rate of local district referendums. This was a huge amount of work, especially in an economy that is challenging for many Minnesotans. According to the Minnesota School Boards Association, 51 of 59 operating levies were approved. That’s 86.4 percent, higher than any other year since the association began keeping records in 1980. Moreover, 23 of 26 requests for buildings or other capital expenses were approved – an 88 percent approval rating. “We presented this referendum as a choice for our community and are pleased with the increased voter turnout compared to similar previous elections,” Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan Superintendent Jane Berenz responded. “We are thankful that two-thirds of participating voters chose to increase the community’s investment in our schools in order to maintain the quality programs that have and continue to make Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan a school district of choice.” She said that without the additional $10 million per year that the new levy will provide, the district would have had to cut the budget again by increasing class sizes and eliminating programs like fifth-grade band and ninth-grade B-team sports. “(Those) are key components of our district’s Triple A philosophy of providing students a variety of opportunities in academics, the arts and athletics,” she

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Joe Nathan said. “The vast majority of people will admit the value that a well-respected school district adds to a community and to individual property values,” she wrote. “In this election, a strong majority (67 percent) said they are willing to pay more to maintain what we have in District 196.” Similar support was shown for the Lakeville Area School District when nearly the same percentage of yes votes gave the district an additional $5.6 million a year for 10 years. During the decade since the district has gone without new levy money, it has cut programs like arts, fifth-grade band and high school industrial technology. Based on board priorities, the new funds will stabilize the budget, maintain programs and introduce science, math, technology and engineering opportunities. Other districts experienced similar success on Election Day. Mounds View schools’ $11.5 million annual amount will keep class sizes at the current levels and maintain current programs. Osseo’s $9 million per year for 10 years will help retain current class sizes, extra-curricular activities, and longer bus routes. A second $5 million is slated for

technology. “Voters understood the need and determined that they supported the work we are doing to get improved student achievement results,” Superintendent Kate Maguire wrote. “Voters appreciated that the School Board listened deeply to community feedback last spring and took the $3.1 million in cuts for this current school year in places that had the least impact on direct classroom instruction.” Bloomington school will get an infusion of $6 million a year for 10 years for safety and security measures to better prepare, protect and respond to future school emergencies, and for educational technology to transform learning, and to engage and empower personalized learning experiences for all students. Hopkins schools will receive $3.1 million annually for 10 years for general operations and passed a capital projects levy for improvements to security, food service, technology and curriculum. Orono schools will use levy funds to expand world language program and improvements STEM education and college and career readiness services. However – and I mean no disrespect to all who worked hard and successfully to win approval for additional funds – I think it’s a mistake for the U.S. to be an outlier among nations in our reliance on local property taxes. The widely respected Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development reports that about 27 percent of education funding comes from local sources in the European and Asian countries it works with, while in the U.S. it’s 53 percent.

This year’s victories add to inequities in funding that 2013 Minnesota legislators were trying to discourage when they approved hundreds of millions of additional dollars to public education. For example, according to the Minnesota School Boards Association, here are varying additional amounts per pupil that some districts now have available to spend, based on approved operating levies: Hopkins, $2,319.43; Osseo, $1,989.29; Orono, $1,861.71; Stillwater, $1,536.47; Rosemount-Apple ValleyEagan, $1,485.95; Mounds View, $1,024; Little Falls, $948.11; Lakeville, $540; and Braham, $275.32. Greg Abbott, Minnesota School Boards Association communications director, pointed out that these figures do not necessarily reflect all previously approved levies. Trying to equalize opportunities, Minnesota’s 2013 Legislature approved, for example, more than $100 million to pay for all-day kindergarten in every district and charter public schools. Legislators did not want this research-based program potentially dependent on whether local taxpayers approved funding for it. Resolving these dilemmas is the subject for another day. Many Minnesotans said “yes” to more money and better facilities for public schools. That’s a strong affirmation, especially in troubled times.

Fifty years after President Kennedy’s death, youth never restored by Howard Lestrud SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The heartbeat of the United States skipped a beat Nov. 22, 1963, when our 35th President John F. Kennedy at age 46 was assassinated on the streets of Dallas, Texas. It has been 50 years and that heartbeat of our nation has never been the same. We lost not only a sense of youth on that day, but also a sense of innocence. Many of our nation’s populous was not around 50 years ago but those of us who were have tried to keep the memory of a popular world leader alive. Even every president since, and there have been nine of them, have tried to capture some of that charisma presented by Kennedy, his young wife and their two children. The 50th anniversary of the assassination was not a celebration. It was a remembrance of memories we have of Kennedy and of the events surrounding the assassination. In the past few weeks, we have read about Kennedy’s administration and his assassination through books, magazines, newspapers and social media. Because of the beginning of Kennedy’s Technicolor presidency, we have been able to recall our memories very easily. Those of us who remember the four days beginning Nov. 22, 1963, recall

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Howard Lestrud where we were and what we were doing. Our younger generation, of course, remembers where and what as it relates to the terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C. on Sept. 11, 2001. Kennedy only served 1,000 days and his administration suffered some early defeats including the Bay of Pigs in Cuba. His administration received some honorable grades as it dealt with the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1963 and as it handled civil unrest in the southern United States. On Aug. 5, 1963, during Kennedy’s presidency after more than eight years of difficult negotiations, the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union signed the Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. President Lyndon Johnson also spiked Kennedy’s achievements by pushing through key civil rights legislation in 1964. We were robbed of our future when an itinerant loner and loser, Lee Harvey Oswald, killed our president. The al-

leged assassin was also shot and killed by someone who could fit Oswald’s psychological makeup. Questions remain about Kennedy’s death and fingers point to conspiracy with more than 60 percent of the population believing Oswald did not act alone. Many conspiracy theories exist but none have produced convincing evidence.

The spirit of John F. Kennedy still lives but our country has not been the same. We have a country that is still seeking a way to live and laugh together. Howard Lestrud is ECM Publishers political editor. Email him at howard.lestrud@ ecm-inc.com. Columns reflect the opinion of the author.

Letters Perplexed by examples To the editor: I read U.S. Rep. John Kline’s column and I am a bit perplexed. He says 140,000 Minnesotans have been notified their health coverage was canceled due to the Affordable Care Act/ Obamacare. That is not exactly accurate. Insurance companies can’t legally cancel policies in Minnesota. These people have been informed that their coverage must change so their premiums may also be changing. I hope he told the people he spoke to (particularly

Jim the self-employed plumber) that before they accept those premiums they can go to www. mnsure.org/ and check out the different levels of plans and costs. They may qualify for a credit. Kline speaks of Linda’s plight. Is her husband the only retiree the company dropped? Did they explain why the ACA forced them to drop just one disabled retiree? I’m not sure what part of the new coverage required by the ACA Kurt does not want. Is he comfortable with a spending cap? Doesn’t he want to keep his children on his policy until they are 26?

Is he unhappy his insurance company can’t drop him or his children if they make a claim, arguing the illness is related to a preexisting condition? Does he want his health care costs to continue to rise because hospitals and doctors need to make up for the costs of treating those without coverage? I am a little confused about Mark from Prior Lake. Why was his son fired instead of having his hours cut? For six years the GOP controlled the White House, the Senate, and the House. The cost of health care skyrocketed. In 2000 the average cost

I wish it had infuriated Kline back in 2002 when he was elected enough to introduce a plan that would have curbed these costs and assured that no one could dodge personal responsibility by failing to have coverage.

Thanks for giving to the max To the editor: Challenging, frustrating and exciting are how some described Give To The Max Day. With more than 4,400 nonprofits all asking for donations, it’s always a question of where donors will direct their dollars. Because of technical difficulties, it took some real dedication and patience for some people to make a donation. However, that didn’t stop generous Minnesotans from giving more than $17 million to their favorite charities. From those who serve and are

served by all of these great nonprofits, a sincere thank you for giving both your funds and your time. KAREN KITCHEL Cheerful Givers president Eagan

prices everywhere. The Democrat warehouse tax of 6.5 percent due to go into effect in February will gouge Minnesotans like Enrique dearly every time he goes to the grocery store or any business that has a warehouse. Van Hecke cites a minimum wage of $9.50 an hour as something policymakers should support. Business will have to lay people off if wages were increased to $9.50 an hour, and many are stretched to the limit in this weak economy. Companies, unlike government, have to make a profit, and if they don’t, they go out of business. USA Today cited that ballot initiatives to increase the minimum wage are being proposed to drive voter turnout and help Democrats in midterm elections in 2014. So, does Van Hecke care about Enrique or only about helping the Democrats in the 2014 midterm Congressional elections? We need job creation, such as John Kennedy accomplished in the 1960s, not liberal policies that have harmed our economy.

To the editor: Workers must share in hometown business success, said an guest column by John Van Hecke in the Nov. 15, 2013, edition. Van Hecke is an executive director and fellow at Minnesota 20/20. Minnesota 20/20 is a socialist, liberal, highly partisan think tank that supports smart growth, global warming, light rail and Obama’s Unaffordable Care Act. If I missed any of their other positions, I apologize. Van Hecke cites in the column that Enrique Barcenas works for Prestige Cleaning as a janitor and cleans Target for $8 an hour. Van Hecke cites that wages have not kept pace with inflation.

Finding hope to escape domestic violence Advocacy services work to combat, prevent domestic violence by Natalie Conrad SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Domestic violence and abuse are difficult problems to solve, but there is hope. Before or after law enforcement steps in, a variety of advocacy services are available to help victims break free of domestic violence, whether their needs are physical, emotional, financial, legal or otherwise. Burnsville-based 360 Communities has operated Lewis House shelters for women and children who have been victims of domestic violence since 1979. The shelters have helped more than 65,000 survivors over that time. More than 2,500 women and children are supported annually at the sites in Eagan and Hastings – that’s nearly seven victims per day. “Once you start seeing those red flags, you should call an advocate,� Ann Sheridan, director of violence prevention for 360 Communities, said of 360’s trained volunteers and professionals who have prevented countless cases where violence would have escalated without intervention. Among the first steps is finding housing. Lewis House offers temporary housing for victims and advocates who help give them a safe and affordable place to live. They also help coordinate retrieval of belongings or going back to their home. While food shelf services are offered, 360 Communities also tends to the emotional side. Support groups meet regularly for both women

I am a domestic abuse survivor. I would not be where I am today if it wasn’t for the amazing people surrounding me. I was able to grow resilience because of the love and support I received from my friends, family and community. Speaking out about abuse is my way of giving back and expressing gratitude after escaping my abusive marriage. Love can be healthy, or love can be dysfunctional and dangerous. Love is not controlling. Love is not shame or blame. Abuse and control are not love. Adrenaline can trick you into thinking it’s love, but it’s not. I was in an abusive relationship for 13 years. While I was in it, I thought I was in love. It wasn’t until I got out that I was able to see clearly what my life had become. There was never a frontal attack that I would have recognized as abuse. It was just a continuous stream of actions and words disguised as jokes. Jane Gilgun, a professor with the University of Minnesota’s College of Education and Human Development, calls it “kidding on the square,� which is putting someone down while presenting it as a joke. My example is a situation where my young daughter was sitting on the couch with her father. He looked into the kitchen at me and said, “Look at your mom. She’s so beautiful, she’s so hot. Too bad I hate everything else about her.� Is this a joke or a slam? Behavior like this eats away your self-esteem

and makes you doubt yourself. My abuser used this type of behavior to get to me in a roundabout way, then he would turn it back on me, telling me that I was too sensitive or too emotional, which continued the pattern of self-doubt. Everything that went wrong in our relationship was always my fault. My life became a game of trying to be two steps ahead of him. Because of that, I unknowingly became the buffer between him and the world. I was exhausted because I was living two lives: his and mine. I thought it was love. It wasn’t. What I thought was love was nothing more than adrenaline, guilt and fear. Emotional and psychological abuse does not leave the telltale marks of physical abuse, but they are just as damaging. Violence often begins with emotional abuse and threats, and then moves to physical abuse. Fiftypercent of all women will experience physical violence in an intimate relationship. Many will never be physically abused until the last time. My ex was an emotional abuser. He used words and acts to make me feel worthless and powerless. He attacked my self-esteem and sought out my strongest qualities and tried to destroy them. He stalked me and used physical size to intimidate me. He also used money to control and scare, leaving my children and I without funds and almost homeless. His lies, gambling and abuse came to a head in 2007. I told him he needed to seek help for his behavior. When he realized he may be losing me, he became erratic and

threatening. Please remember: If you think you are in an abusive relationship, the most dangerous time is when you decide to leave. I turned to the community for support. First, I called the police. The Eden Prairie Police Department suggested that I go to Bloomington-based Cornerstone domestic abuse crisis program for help. I did. Cornerstone helped me get my order for protection. The order didn’t mean that he was going to go away, but it gave me an opportunity to define my safety needs and created a foundation for me to get out. Over the last six years, my order has been amended – because he didn’t follow it. Held up by the Court of Appeals – because he appealed it. Reissued every year – because he violated it. Last year, the order for protection against my abuser was extended for 10 more years. There is no stereotypical abused person. You cannot recognize us by the color of our skin, the economic background we came from, the clothes we wear or our gender. Domestic abuse can happen to anyone. If you think you or someone you know is in an abusive situation, there is help. There are people and programs designed to help and protect. Cornerstone also lists red flags and myths on its website. I was helped by both Cornerstone and the Domestic Abuse Project of Minneapolis. K.T. Bernhagen shared this story with the public during an Oct. 7 domestic violence vigil in Eden Prairie.

In an interview with police on March 19, 2012, Kakish allegedly admitted to withdrawing money from the victim’s account at casinos when his own accounts reached their daily limits. After taking the money, Kakish would transfer money into the victim’s account. Kakish admitted to falling behind on the victim’s rent payments and other expenses, but couldn’t explain why there were money transfers from the victim’s account into his own. If convicted, Kakish could face up to five years in prison for the felony count and up to one year in jail for the gross misdemeanor count.

An Eagan man is accused of taking thousands of dollars from a vulnerable adult in his care. Muhannah Samir Kakish, 40, was charged on Nov. 6 in Dakota County District Court with felony financial exploitation of a vulnerable adult and gross misdemeanor financial exploitation of a vulnerable adult. According to the criminal complaint, Kakish had guardianship over a man who was living in adult foster care and was responsible for managing the man’s money. Instead of paying the man’s rent and personal expenses between Aug. 1, 2011, and Feb. 8, 2012, Kakish allegedly withdrew large sums of cash from the man’s account to gamble. Kakish was the only person with access to the account, and also transferred money from Jessica Harper is at jessica.harper@ecmthe victim’s account to his own. inc.com or facebook.com/sunthisweek.

Apple Valley’s Spoon restaurant has closed, but a chaotic scene that transpired there late one night last year has resulted in criminal charges for a Brooklyn Center man. Davonte M. Lynn, 20, was charged in district court Nov. 12 with felony terroristic threats for allegedly pointing a gun at a crowd in the parking lot of the Asian fusion restaurant at 14871 Granada Ave. According to the criminal complaint, Apple Valley police were called to the restaurant around 2 a.m. Oct. 27, 2012, on a report of 20 to 30 people fighting in the parking lot. Upon arrival, officers were asked by restaurant employees to assist with the out-of-control crowd, and police subsequently ordered everyone to leave the parking area, which was covered with debris, empty bottles, jewelry, glasses and other items. As the crowd began to

disperse, two women approached police to report that a man – matching Lynn’s description – had pulled out a gun during the commotion in the parking lot and pointed it at the crowd before boarding a party bus. As the women were giving their account, other officers on the scene pulled Lynn off the party bus because he was yelling threats “to shoot people� out the party bus window, the complaint said. Security personnel at Spoon confirmed the gun-pointing allegation, reporting that the suspect “pointed the handgun toward several people in the crowd and then lunged forward twice,� causing people to flee in panic, according to the complaint. Though police located Lynn on the party bus, they did not locate the gun he allegedly possessed. If convicted, Lynn faces up to five years in prison and a fine of $10,000. The incident involving Lynn was among the host of police incidents and

fire code violations on record when the Apple Valley City Council voted to deny renewal of Spoon’s liquor license in January of this year. Apple Valley police Chief Jon Rechtzigel told the City Council that since May of 2011 police had responded to at least eight incidents that occurred during “hip hop� and nightclub-type events at Spoon. During one call to the restaurant, police observed unlicensed “security guards� carrying loaded handguns while consuming alcohol. Additionally, Apple Valley Fire Chief Nealon Thompson noted a total of 27 fire code violations at Spoon in a two-year period. Spoon owners Kav Theng and Van Ngo sold the assets to the business last summer. Fiesta Mexican Cuisine now operates out of the former Spoon space on Granada Avenue.

DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE November 28, 2013

THANKSGIVING, from 1A from somewhere else. I’ve been very fortunate throughout my life to acquire friends from other places, and it help us appreciate the stories why people come here.� Wustenberg has been a strong advocate for “opening the borders for people who want to come here and find a life, build a home and raise a family, and do all the things that makes this an amazing country,� she said. “I respected the immigration paths to get here. As tough as it was, we still come. It’s the story of the United States. Hopefully, we have a better blend of cultures. The idea of the collaboration with the native people is an important part, a difficult part. The romantic notion of a perfectly cooked dinner, that was the Hallmark card version of the story. You got to give everybody credit for what they were able to accomplish back then.� When Wustenberg returned to Plymouth three years ago, the memorials and museums had evolved. They included a Native American Wampanoag homesite along with a 17th century English village. Members of the Wampanoag Native Americans were also descendants of the same tribe that helped the Pilgrims. “They have two completely different cultures coexisting in the same property trying to be authentic,� Wustenberg said. “That’s an important part of the story.� Her own Thanksgiving celebration is still traditional as her fellow Mayflower relatives on the Morris side gather every year. “We have all the things we typically associate with a gluttonous meal,� Wustenberg said. “We will spare nothing. We eat all afternoon, play games and eat again with football on in the background. It’s a

great day to take a break. We’re not a family that shops. We sit around and talk. “The more I hear about the historical interpretation, the more I hear we’re doing it wrong but we’re going to do it anyway. It means a lot to my kids.â€? Wustenberg and her husband, Bill, have lived on the east side of Farmington for 24 years. Their flock of sheep started as a 4-H project and grew to a 50-head flock at one point. Now they’re down to three as their children are in college. Her son attends graduate school at McGill University in Montreal for opera studies, and her daughter, Lauren, attends Northwestern University in Illinois working toward an environmental studies major. They’re both pursuing their dreams. Wustenberg pursued her dreams as well. Her journalism degree from the University of Minnesota and love of public policy has taken her all over the world. She was the press secretary for former Minnesota Gov. Al Quie and she was the policy director for Gov. Jesse Ventura. In between she worked for Twin Cities Public Television with the “Almanacâ€? and served on the Farmington School Board. “It’s all about the freedom to pursue your own happiness,â€? Wustenberg said. “We’re all pilgrims in the end. We’re all trying to find happiness and freedom to this day and we do that in collaboration with other people. It’s not just the Pilgrims’ story. ‌ You never sell short the opportunities that are out there if you take a risk and work hard. That’s a privilege that’s not always out there in the world. “If that’s not Thanksgiving, I don’t know what else is.â€?

Thanksgiving surprise

Society of Mayflower Descendants has active state chapter

Anonymous Lakeville couple donate $1,400 to help struggling families by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Farmington resident Wendy Wustenberg and her children are members of the Minnesota Society of Mayflower Descendants, which has about 475 members, who are part of a larger chapter based out of Plymouth, Mass. Members can trace their descendants back to the Mayflower’s 26 families that survived the first year. From those 26 families, about 20 million people can claim to be descendants. Other area members of the association include Apple Valley’s Diane Trower; Rosemount’s Heather Zeissler; Eagan’s Nancy Van Buren and Mark Monson; Lakeville’s Claudia Braun, Jacquelyn Fletcher and Suzanne Johnson. “If a person suspects they’re a descendant, chances are they can prove it pretty quickly,� Wustenberg said. The society is thorough with its membership. Her son recently joined, but he was required to submit a series of papers and it took months to complete.

Multiple Lakeville families had a happier Thanksgiving after an anonymous couple donated $1,400 worth of Cub Foods gift cards to local schools to distribute to financially struggling families. The couple sent a $100 card to each of the 14 schools in the Lakeville School District with a Nov. 16 letter that quoted Bible verses and expressed their desire to help others. They asked that the Cub Foods gift cards be given to a student “whose family is struggling financially so they will have a nice Thanksgiving meal.� “Some families fall through the cracks and don’t get the assistance they need,� the letter stated. Bible verses cited in the letter sent to principals were Psalm 145:14-15 and 1 John 3:17: “If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion — how can God’s love be in that person?� “The Lord has blessed us and we want to pass on that blessing to others,� the letter stated, signed by “A Lakeville

couple.� Lakeville School District spokeswoman Linda Swanson said she cannot recall a similar donation in the 23 years she has worked in the district. “It warms my heart,� Swanson said. “It makes me know there are people out there who are generous and loving, and I hope they are getting a really good feeling out of this.� She said Orchard Lake Elementary Principal Marilynn Smith was the first to notify others of the generous donation by posting a copy of the letter on Facebook. Other school officials replied they received an identical letter and gift card. As of last week, Smith’s post had 287 “likes,� and there were 14 comments praising the Lakeville couple’s action. “That is so sweet and thoughtful,� wrote Clare Rambo Jordan. Fred Scott stated, “That makes me wanna cry.� Swanson said each school was distributing the funds in various ways, including one school that divided it into four $25 gift cards. She said the biggest problem is that they don’t know who to thank.

Regents question UMore plan Some feel the project might not yield results by Danielle Dullinger MURPHY NEWS SERVICE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA

The University of Minnesota’s UMore Park is moving forward with plans to develop the land, but some regents are questioning the real value of the property. Rosemount’s City Council approved the Alternative Urban Areawide Review for the land Oct. 15. Regents met Oct. 11 to discuss the status of UMore Park developments, and the value of the land to the university was debated. Initial plans to develop the 5,000 acres were approved by the university’s board of regents in 2008. The concept master plan includes plans for a sustainable community of 20,000-30,000 people to be developed over the next 25-30 years. The community would be a mix of residential, retail, commercial and industrial use. The land is currently being used by the university for agricultural research and by Dakota Aggregates to mine the southwestern portion, UMORE, from 1A funding for the cleanup of contamination as a result of a munitions plant similar to Gopher Ordnance Works, according to Donohue. Donohue said the corps has told him they don’t have funds to commit to a project. “It is a big piece of property in Dakota County,� he said. “The people in the city of Rosemount and Dakota County want it used.� It is not known how much it could cost to assess and remediate the property. The cost of the remedial investigation of UMore East was approximately $1 million, according to Donohue. A 2012 Patch news report said a comprehensive site analysis could cost between $8 million and $10 million, citing Dakota County environmental officials. Some possible avenues for funding would the Formerly Used Defense Sites program or the Defense Environmental Restoration Account, which are allocated by Congress to address Department of Defense responsibilities, LAKEVILLE, from 6A ence in addition to eight years in management in the private sector. He holds a bachelor of arts in political science from

which is rich in gravel, said Michael O’Keefe, chairman of the board of governors for UMore Park LLC. Regent Dean Johnson, vice chair of the board, raised concerns about the funds being produced by the mining project. Richard Pfutzenreuter, university chief financial officer, estimates the mining will cost $10.2 million through the end of the fiscal year in June 2014. Revenues to date are about $8.2 million, he said. “Right now the project has not fully paid for itself,� Pfutzenreuter said in the meeting. “Going forward between mining and development will make this venture a positive cash flow. So far, we’re just a tad short.� Regent David Larson expressed concerns about the cash flow of UMore Park. “This is extremely expensive land to conduct agricultural research on,� Larson said, “and we should be extremely thoughtful as to what the alternatives are.� Regent Laura Brod is concerned about the university’s role in developing UMore Park. “I recognize that a lot of the

decisions predate this board,� Brod said. Brod went on to share her worries about staying focused on the university’s mission and “whether the university ought to be in the development business,� she said. “I worry about being in the development business and competing against the private sector,� she said. Regent Clyde Allen expressed his support for the development and its educational capabilities. “We could try to take a big step forward in how communities develop,� Allen said. “How do you build a whole community from scratch?� Teaching students and learning how to take a large plot of land and put it together relates directly to the university’s mission, Allen said. While some regents expressed concern, the plan is still on track for development. “We’re setting up a plan for a master developer,� Regent John Frobenius said. “We will finally produce some positive cash flow.� Danielle Dullinger is a University of Minnesota journalism student.

according to Tracey. “If the other parties wish to bring claims against the United States, they are free to do so,� Tracey wrote. “Depending the nature of the claim, it may be addressed using funds other than DERA.� Kathryn Sather, MPCA Remediation Division director, said the last time the MPCA had to take similar steps to compel a remedial action was prior to the 2007 cleanup of 3M company sites in the eastern Twin Cities. 3M acknowledged in an annual report that it set aside $117 million for potential environmental liability stemming from perfluorochemicals, according to a Minnesota Public Radio report. For a portion of 3M’s work, about 2 acres of soil, 18 feet deep, was removed to a specially prepared section of the SKB Landfill in Rosemount. The portion of UMore land that has the highest degree of scrutiny is the Superfund area that is about 10 acres mostly east of Babcock Avenue and north of 155th Street. This area is not part of the mining area Dakota Aggregates is conducting to

the west. According to the Remedial Investigation Report for UMore East in 2011, the areas with the greatest environmental impacts appear to be consistent with historical Department of Defense operations, Donohue wrote in a July letter. Other sources of contamination are the university, which disposed of chemical wastes in the Burn Pit site, and from tenants the university contracted with that used the site for disposal of lead, copper and polychlorinate biphenyls, or PCBs, for about 20 years starting in the 1960s, according to the Environmental Protection Agency’s fourth five-year review of the site, which was completed in June 2012. Remediation work to protect human health has been completed on the site in recent decades, according to the EPA. The university has posted signs on some segments of the property due to the presence of potential physical hazardous and identified substances, according to the Alternative Urban Areawide Review. The AUAR stated that

Rosemount and Empire Township will require that any of these remaining physical hazards be addressed prior to redevelopment. The U of M’s three redevelopment scenarios, which could ensue in the next 20 to 30 years, show the land in question being used for residential, open space or industrial uses. Donohue said any cleanup would be done in conjunction with development. The EPA’s review said three areas need to be evaluated and have appropriate cleanup with regard to PCBs and other contaminants for it to be protective of human health and the environment in the long term. The EPA’s five-year reviews, the next one due in 2017, will continue to be required because hazardous substances, pollutants and contaminants are above levels that allow for unlimited use and unrestricted exposure.

their respective departments, holding numerous positions of increasing responsibility and have attended the FBI Academy in Quantico, Va. The finalists will undergo additional testing and interviews. Former Lakeville police Chief Tom Vonhof retired Oct. 1. He had served 33 years with the department and was chief since 2006.

Lakeville police Sgt. John Kornmann, the department’s most senior sergeant, was appointed as interim chief to lead the department in September. Lakeville City Administrator Steve Mielke said he hopes to have a final decision by mid-December, with an expectation that the new chief would be sworn in by mid-January

the Minnesota Alliance for Family and Animal Safety. The alliance aims to reach victims of domestic abuse who are 50 and older and provide shelter for abused animals. “We get about 12,000 calls a year, and 2,000 are about finding shelter,� Schmitt said. “The rest are about getting help. Every time, they’re reaching out.� The Day One crisis number is 866-223-1111.

Preventing violence Domestic violence profoundly affects not only the lives of the victim and the perpetrator but also the children who have witnessed the abuse and have been victims. According to Cornerstone, children who have witnessed abuse learn that to get what they want, violence works. The advocacy service works toward ending generational cycles of violence and abuse by teaching children about appropriate, healthy relationship skills through Preventing Abuse and Violence through Education. “For domestic violence especially, we want to make sure they understand power and if they’re using it to hurt someone,� said Barton Erickson, a school-based prevention coordinator. “Also recognizing the use of gender or feminine terms is key.� PAVE is in 17 schools in the Cornerstone service area. PAVE educators start in elementary schools to educate young children on family violence, self-esteem and healthy communication. In junior high, PAVE educators focus on agerelated issues around family abuse and violence in the schools. Educators not only focus on classroom presentations but work with students, both individually and in group settings, on family abuse issues, healthy relationships, anger management, communication skills at home and in school, bul-

lying and harassment. In high school, PAVE educators focus on dating abuse and violence in the home, peer relationships and violence prevention in school. “For their first relationship ever, learning what’s healthy is really important,� Erickson said. Fairview Hospitals is a referral for more extreme cases, typically when significant mental health or substance abuse problems arise. Domestic violence between parents or relatives is commonly at the root of a student’s behavior problems, especially relationship issues, and PAVE educators are prepared to contact child protection services. “Growing up is an extremely confusing place to be when parents both love and hurt each other,� Erickson said. PAVE educators aim to reach students through a variety of platforms of new media and technology. Erickson said their ultimate goal is to make things relevant and tangible and to make change.

Say something As a bystander, domestic violence can be difficult to ascertain. There are many signs and red flags. The biggest sign is controlling and manipulative behavior, according to Jamie Olson, the domestic violence prevention coordinator at a Twin Cities police department. “Abusers use power and control over victims, which does not limit itself to physical control,� she said. “It’s getting children involved, physical, emotional and financial. Every abuser uses different tools to put power and control over the victim.� Once signs of domestic violence have been observed involving family or friends, the most important thing is to be nonjudgemental, according to Bob Olson at Cornerstone. “Take the time to educate yourself about the

dynamics of domestic violence,� he said. “It’s OK to approach them and ask if they’re OK.� Friends or loved ones of a victim or someone they think may need help are also encouraged to contact their local advocacy service or, more importantly, the police. “If you see or hear something, call the police,� Becker said. “It’s surprising to me how many people will hear domestic violence happen but not say something or call the police. If you hear abuse occur ... call 911.� Neighbors or family members of a person who they know or think is being abused can call 360’s confidential line at 952985-5300. Until provisions are taken or a safety plan is drafted, it may actually be safer for victims to stay in the relationship. “When they leave is the most dangerous time,� Schmitt said. “We can work with them prior to leaving, develop safety plans on how to continue and take control.� Picking up the phone and asking for help is the first step – and it is not an easy one. “It takes a lot of courage to pick up the phone and make that call,� Schmitt said. “It really is a process. They just need to know there is help in the community.� Domestic violence simply isn’t like other crimes, Jamie Olson said. “If someone steals your purse or robs you or burglarizes your home, you have no issues pursuing charges or cooperating with police, but when the person that assaults you is a spouse, a child, a parent, it’s someone you share a relationship with, and it’s not stranger,� she said. “It’s important to understand that situation the victim is in. It’s a crime with a personal relationship attached to it.�

Sports Former Prep Bowl spectators now get to play Many Rosemount players were in stands for 2010 state final by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Rosemount football players don’t have to reach in to the deep, dark recesses of their memories to tell a questioner where they were the last time the Irish had a chance to win a state championship. It’s right there, front and center. They remember it like it was yesterday, and it wasn’t much longer ago than that. “I’d say more than half of us were at the dome,” senior linebacker Nate Sackett said. “I was there. I was a ninth-grader, probably not watching the game as closely as I should have, but I remember being excited to be there.” They don’t remember the outcome quite as fondly. Wayzata defeated Rosemount 31-14 in the 2010 Prep Bowl as Trojans running back Mitch Underhill broke open a close game with three long touchdown runs in the third quarter. This year’s Irish have an opportunity to write an ending they will like better when the play Eden Prairie in the Class 6A championship game at 7 p.m. Friday at the Metrodome in Minneapolis. Rosemount is on an 11-game winning streak after losing its season opener; Eden Prairie (11-0), the defending state champion, has won 16 in a row dating to last season. Rosemount was in a

Rosemount’s defense, including Dan Monson (12) and Tre Peterson (34) go after Roseville quarterback Jacques Perra during the state Class 6A semifinals. The Irish will play Eden Prairie for the state championship at 7 p.m. Friday at the Metrodome. (Photo by Rick Orndorf) state football championship game one other time – in 1981, when the Irish defeated Moorhead 4014. That was the last time state championship games were played outdoors. At least some state title games are likely to move outside starting next year when the Metrodome is torn down to make way for a new stadium. Irish senior tight end Gabe Ehlers also was at the 2010 championship game and “I was kind of expecting them to win. I’d

gotten to know some of those guys, and they were expecting to win, too. But they did show us what it was going to take to get there.” There’s always an undercurrent of tension when teams from the South Suburban and Lake conferences meet, particularly when the Lake Conference team is Eden Prairie. In 2009, the Minnesota State High School League proposed to place Wayzata, Edina, Minnetonka and Hopkins in the Lake Con-

ference, which at the time included Eden Prairie and nine of the present South Suburban members. Ten schools, including Rosemount, broke off from the Lake and formed the South Suburban Conference. They did not invite Eden Prairie, which then joined Wayzata, Edina, Minnetonka and Hopkins in a downsized Lake Conference. That’s probably more of an issue for administrators and coaches as opposed to players. Still,

Sackett said the Irish were anxious to get Eden Prairie as an opponent in the Prep Bowl. “We definitely wanted to play Eden Prairie,” Sackett said. “It’s not that other teams in the state aren’t good, but Eden Prairie’s expected to be there. They’re the defending champion. We want to be able to say, ‘Yeah, we beat them.’ ” Eden Prairie can use Email Mike Shaughnessy at its running game to wear mike.shaughnessy@ecmdown opponents.

Irish, Tigers move up the swim leaderboard

TAGS South takes third at qualifier

Local teams place in top 12 at state by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Rosemount and Farmington made big moves in the team standings at last week’s state Class AA girls swimming and diving meet. The Irish, who were 13th at state a year ago, moved up to seventh, scoring 141.5 points, more than twice as many as they had during the 2012 Class AA competition. The Tigers placed 12th with 60 points after finishing 19th in 2012. Wayzata scored 275 points to win the team championship Nov. 20 at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center. Two other Lake Conference teams, Minnetonka and Edina, were second and third. Rosemount, which shared the South Suburban Conference championship with Lakeville North and Prior Lake, had the highest finish of any South Suburban team at state. Farmington had the second-highest finish of any Missota Conference school, trailing only Chanhassen, which placed fifth. Irish sophomore Megan Wenman had a strong showing at the state meet, finishing fourth and fifth in two individual events and helping Rosemount’s 400-yard freestyle relay to fourth place. Grace Herron, Katie Garrity and Olivia Johnston also swam on the 400 freestyle relay, which had an All-America consideration time of 3 minutes, 30.12 seconds. Wenman swam to fourth place in the 200 freestyle in an All-America consideration time of 1:50.30. She was fifth in the 100 freestyle in 51.52, which also earns AllAmerica consideration. Johnston reached the

more team speed than any previous Irish team. “Over the years we’ve been known for our speed,” said running back Grant Jackson, who watched his older brother play in the 2010 Prep Bowl. “We’re not the biggest team out there, but we’re fast, and that’s helped us this year.” Rosemount has a stable of running backs, enough that the Irish can occasionally move junior Dimitri Williams from tailback to wide receiver to create matchup problems. On defense, linebackers Sackett and Craig Syzmanski each has more than 10 sacks. Tre Peterson has had an outstanding season at defensive tackle, and the Yepsen brothers, Carter and Conner, have been solid as the cornerbacks. Conner Yepsen has two interception returns for touchdowns this season. And maybe karma will be in the Irish’s favor. In Rosemount’s 1981 championship season, coach Bob Sadek had his son Brett playing quarterback. Bob Sadek died in May at 70. Brett Sadek, a longtime District 196 teacher and coach, returned to the Rosemount football program this year as an assistant coach for the sophomore team. The Rosemount player taking snaps on Friday is expected to be junior Jackson Erdmann – whose father Jeff is the Irish’s head coach.

championship heat in the 200 individual medley, finishing eighth in 2:08.05. Herron was seventh in the 100 butterfly in 57.44. Sawyer Murray, a senior, placed eighth in diving with 353.10 points. Wenman, Herron, Cassandra Hutchins and Garrity won the consolation final of the 200 freestyle relay and finished ninth overall. They had an AllAmerica consideration time of 1:37.48. Also reaching the consolation finals for Rosemount were Abby Tesch in the 200 freestyle (14th, 1:55.28), Garrity in the 200 individual medley (10th, 2:08.41), Herron in the 50 freestyle (ninth, 24.12), Garrity in the 500 freestyle (ninth, 5:00.81, a time bettered by only three swimmers in the championship final) and Johnston in the 100 breaststroke (14th, 1:06.75). The Irish might have the potential to finish higher at state next season. Although they will graduate Murray, most of their top swimmers will return. Farmington’s state meet included two seventh-place finishes, one in an individual event and

Senior Kaitlyn O’Reilly returned to the championship heat in the 200 individual medley and finished seventh in 2:07.28. She finished eighth in the 100 backstroke in 58.59. O’Reilly anchored the

Tigers’ 200 freestyle relay, which finished seventh in 1:38.10. Kirsten Kracke, Chelsea Gehrke and Cora Ruzicka also swam on the relay. The Tigers also picked up 13 points in the consolation finals. Kracke,

O’Reilly, Gehrke and Ruzicka were 12th in the 200 medley relay in 1:49.65. Kracke was 14th in the 50 freestyle in 24.48 Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

The TAGS South Level 4 team placed third and the Level 5 team placed fifth in the state qualifier at Legacy Gymnastics on Nov. 17. The Level 4 team scored 107.625. The team placed second on the uneven bars, led by Jaden Rivera of Lakeville who placed second (9.425). Maren Sundberg of Eagan and Kajsa Thrawl of Eagan tied for third place (9.4). Ella Hillis of Lakeville took third on the balance beam (9.0). Kailey Tomzak of Eagan and Athena Zahn of Apple Valley took second (8.75) and third (8.65), respectively. Tomzak placed first (9.2) on the floor exercise. Sundberg and Lauren Foyt of Rosemount both earned 9.05 to round out the top three team scores. Sundberg placed second on vault (8.875). Tomzak was third in her age group with an 8.425 and Rivera was eighth with an 8.4. In the all-around, Sundberg finished in third (35.775) and Thrawl fourth (35.3). Tomzak received a 35.175 for second place in her age group.

Providing a choice school within the district might continue to boost district enrollment. Farmington has 6,967 students kindergarten through 12th grade as of Oct. 1, with an increase of 203 students for the 201314 school year. The district also saw a 62 percent increase to 225 students coming in from outside the school district. The number of students living in the district who aren’t attending District 192 schools is up three percent to 1,198. Those students could be attending a private school, charter school, homeschool, online school or another public school. Haugen said public schools tend to have a lot more students leaving than coming in with 427 of those attending private school. “It’s great to see we’re up 62 percent, but we want to collect more of those 1,200 students who are making other choices,� Haugen said.

we just don’t do a lot with them. We should be able to support any student. It might be something different for each one. It’s finding those pathways. If they get excited about learning something, everything else improves.� Haugen said the district has the staff, student supplies and a growing student base, so it would be budget-neutral. “Really it would be up to the staff members; the implementation is up to them,� Haugen said. “They will have a large amount of freedom to create this school. It’s the kind of freedom we’re trying to give to all of our schools, but there’s so much structure still in place in the school district. Sometimes it gets in the way. This is a place where we would start something new.� Haugen said it’s going to require continuous improvement and innovation to make it successful. “Innovation is what you do when you don’t know what you want to do,� Haugen said.

Michael Bolton

Singer finds new audience with YouTube hit Michael Bolton concert Dec. 3 at Burnsville Performing Arts Center by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Michael Bolton has won multiple Grammy Awards, packed arenas and sold millions of albums worldwide. But it was two days spent with The Lonely Island comedy troupe in 2011 that’s given the superstar singer’s career a mark of success unique to the digital age: YouTube sensation. First aired on “Saturday Night Live,� the “Jack Sparrow� video Bolton recorded with The Lonely

Island’s Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone and Akiva Shaffer soon went viral on YouTube, and now has more than 116 million views. The clip proved so popular that Bolton, who’s set to take the stage of the Burnsville Performing Arts Center on Dec. 3, has incorporated an abridged version of the song into his live shows. “Nobody could have guessed the enormity of it,� Bolton said by phone Monday. “Lonely Island is so much fun to work with,

Recorded in two days in 2011 and first aired on Saturday Night Live, “Jack Sparrow� has more than 116 million views on The Lonely Island’s YouTube channel. but it almost feels like you’re not working. You’re just trying to do funny things. They were long, 17hour days (of shooting the clip), but everybody was laughing the entire time.� The possibility of a followup video to “Jack Sparrow� has been discussed by Bolton and the three Lonely Island comics, but Bolton said they’re not going to rush it.

“We don’t want to hurry up and throw something together because of the success – that would be a mistake,� said Bolton. “It’s going to take us time to devise that, to agree upon it, and it’s going to take a sponsor.� And while “Jack Sparrow� has helped to expose Bolton to a new audience, guests at his Burnsville concert next month can

expect to hear hits such as “When a Man Loves a Woman� and “How Can We Be Lovers� that helped him earn multiplatinum status. “I do a verse and a chorus (of “Jack Sparrow�) on tour, only because the people kept screaming for it,� he said. “You have to bring the greatest hits – it’s a relationship with the audience that requires some

responsibility.� Tickets for Bolton’s Burnsville concert are available through the arts center’s website. The Burnsville venue is offering 50 percent off the purchase two tickets or more on Black Friday; details are at www.burnsvillepac. com/black-friday.html.
