Special request for Santa

by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

For more than a quarter century, Farmington has helped make the season special for children with the annual Christmas toy drive Toys for Town. While some communities band together to help out with organizations such as Toys for Tots or other charities, Toys for Town is central to the Farmington Police Department.

It reached a high point two years ago when more than 240 children’s lives were touched by the community’s generosity. This year there are about 200 kids with families who requested help for the holidays. The drive started a few weeks ago when bins were placed in 22 area locations includSee TOYS, 16A

Bringing MNsure to the people Workers in Burnsville, Rosemount to help residents find health care coverage by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

In an effort to reach people who might be eligible for health care coverage under MNsure, the state awarded Dakota County a grant of $190,376 to incite enrollment among minority and low-income households. As part of the program, in the coming months Dakota County’s certified MNsure application counselors will be at 360 Communities locations in Burnsville and Rosemount to help people sign up for health care coverage through MNsure – the state’s health insurance exchange website. People can schedule hourlong appointments when counselors will help people navigate the website, which has experienced some technical difficulties, and explain the options available based on income and other factors. “Sometimes all you need is some patience,� said Roger Meyer, MNsure enrollment project director and consultant to Dakota County.

service funds. The steps include continuing to use conservative revenue projections and continuing to budget extra for debt. “Not everybody pays their taxes on time,� Hanson said. “To ensure we have enough funds to make those payments, we fund those at 105 percent.� In 2012 the general fund exceeded its revenue, so the city retained those funds to strengthen its fund balance. The city will also look at cash flow from existing funds for revenue. If it continues past 2018, the council might increase future levies to eliminate the deficit by 2023. “It didn’t happen overnight, so it’s going to take some time to fix it,� Mayor Todd Larson said. Farmington currently has an AArating with Standard and Poor’s, which “is a good rating,� Hanson said, “but if we take these steps, I think over time it will be upgraded. It will make it cheaper to borrow.� The City Council also approved a comprehensive debt policy on Monday. While none of it was new, it pulled all the ideas into one document. “It’s good to have it all written down so we can consider the items each time debt comes up,� Hanson said.

Citing an issue with its fund balances, Farmington established new policies at Monday’s City Council meeting with hopes of keeping taxes low and preserving the city’s bond rating in the future. The general fund and debt service fund operate at a deficit in the weeks before the city receives property taxes in early summer and late fall. Last June the combined cumulative deficit reached $2.3 million, which didn’t meet the city’s financial policy nor the guidelines recommended by the state auditor’s office. “When you compare our fund balance or equity, it’s less than the cities of our size and our neighbors,� Finance Director Robin Hanson said. The city needed to borrow internally to pay its debt, but it was to be repaid as the tax dollars were received. That enough funds weren’t levied by the city for past projects was one reason the city was forced to re-examine its policies, but council members and city staff were focused on the future. The council unanimously supported Email Andy Rogers steps to increase the general and debt andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Hookah smoking indoors will no longer be allowed at local tobacco establishments in Burnsville. On Tuesday night, the Burnsville City Council approved a new tobacco ordinance that will limit hours of operation, square footage and seating capacity at tobacco shops in Burnsville. After a split vote, the council added an indoor use ban on tobacco sampling from devices such as hookah pipes, similar to a ban enacted by Minneapolis in 2011. The new ordinance would not put a ban on cigar bars.

The Dakota County Sheriff’s Office issued a nationwide warrant for the arrest of Lisa Marie Polasik, 26, of Farmington, with charges of aggravated first-degree tampering with a witness, a felony, as well as misdemeanor assault in the fifth-degree for an incident on Oct. 25 in South St. Paul. South St. Paul Police were called to a residence at 3 a.m. on Second Avenue for a report of an assault. According to the police report, Mary Beth Kaul, 40, of South St. Paul, and Polasik began questioning the unidentified victim and asking why they “snitched,� referring to a shooting in the city in August and showing her photos of police reports. They said they received them from Nicholas Michael Mason, who was

charged in August for second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon, firstdegree aggravated robbery and fifth-degree assault. According to the report, Kaul then punched the victim in the face with a closed fist approximately 50 times. The victim was then kneed in the face, pulled by the hair, and pushed down the stairs leaving the victim with severe bruising around the eyes and marks over the face. Polasik and Kaul’s cousin, Jeffrey Rewey, took the victim by the arm and threatened to strike with a pipe unless the individual gave something up. The victim had no money or drugs to offer, so Polasik and Rewey walked the victim home, threatening “there’s more to come.� When they got near the victim’s house, Polasik and Rewey said to get something and not to look

back, then got in a car and left. A friend who had been at the house where the victim was assaulted said they had a lot worse in mind for her, and the victim was terrified that they may still be a threat. Kaul was charged in November for both tampering and assault. The tampering charges carry a maximum penalty of 20 years in jail, a $30,000 fine or both. Polasik was also summoned in November by the Dakota County Sheriff’s Office for a controlled substance crime in the second degree with a prior conviction after selling 5.26 grams of methamphetamine to an informant. The charges carry a maximum penalty of 40 years, a $500,000 fine or both. Email Andy Rogers at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Thomson layoffs to be in Eagan

Blowing smoke – from a hookah – now only allowed outdoors Burnsville council adds indoor use ban on sampling from devices

by Andy Rogers

Mayor Elizabeth Kautz, council members Mary Sherry and Suzanne Nguyen voted in favor of the new regulations and ban, while council members Bill Coughlin and Dan Kealey opposed the new ordinance. The ordinance, as originally presented by the city staff and city attorney, did not include a ban on indoor hookah smoking, but was added by Sherry during discussion. Coughlin said he would have supported the ordinance without the ban. Burnsville currently has two hookah shops, Taha Hookah at 12010 County Road 11 and Ignite Hookah at 2552 Horizon Drive. Most of the discussion centered around the shops’ policies of letting customers buy tobacco in their shops and then smoke that tobacco in the shop

low us to balance our internal resources with the needs of our customers in a highly competitive environment.� The layoffs account for 5 percent of Thomson Reuters workforce and will primarily affect its financial and risk departments. The company employs 7,000 workers in Eagan, which serves as its headquarters for its legal business. Thomson Reuters has yet to release the number

of Eagan employees to be cut, but has said that job cuts are in management information systems. When announcing the layoffs, Thomson Reuters said Mike Suchsland, president of its legal division, will be replaced by Susan Taylor Martin.

Opinion Supporting the hidden hungry through 360 Communities by Karla Bauer SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

As a family support worker for 360 Communities Partners For Success, I witness poverty and hunger in schools and in homes every day. I see the barriers to success poverty throws up in front of students, and I work to help stabilize families so that children have a better chance to succeed in school and in life. But it was how I spent last summer that helped me see hunger and self-sufficiency in a new light. For two months, I performed intake assessments at 360 Communities Farmington Food Shelf. As food shelf guests would come in, I engaged them in conversation and listened to their stories. I would ensure they were accessing every resource they could to help them move toward self-sufficiency. Many of our clients were seniors who were in declining health and had little opportunity to work outside the home to supplement their income. They needed the food shelf to survive on limited incomes and were in need of long-term support. One afternoon, an elderly couple arrived for their food and met with me. They were guarded at first, unsure about who I was and what I wanted. I explained that I was there to learn more about what brings them to the food shelf each month and to see if there were other resources I could find for them. Hank was in his 70s and had diabetes. His condition deteriorated to the point where he could not perform his duties as a truck driver. He lost his job and with it, their only source of income besides social security. The couple’s children were not nearby and were unaware of their

Guest Columnist

Karla Bauer parents’ need to access the food shelf. And there was an additional complication. Hank began to tell me about the health of his wife, Carol. “I know I forget things sometimes,” Carol interjected. He turned to her and said, “Honey, I don’t mean to hurt your feelings. I’m telling her these things not to be mean, but so she understands.” Hank talked about his wife’s Alzheimer’s, how the disease had progressed and how he had struggled taking over all household responsibilities. Unfortunately, the couple’s situation is not uncommon. According to a 2012 report by the Greater Twin Cities United Way, almost 40 percent of the elderly (age 65 and older) have some kind of disability. I have seen how these disabilities and health concerns become a strain on finances with expensive medications and other medical related costs, such as travel, that are not covered by Medicare. Of the 30 families and individuals I met over the summer, almost half of them receive Social Security disability benefits as their primary form of income. Living on such a limited income, any emergency can pull someone’s self-sufficiency right out from under them. The food shelf helped Hank and Carol make ends meet. With little other sup-

ports from family and limited financial resources, their situation is difficult to say the least. I was able to help them get connected with other resources to help with specific financial concerns. They also appreciated having someone who would sit down and take the time to listen to their daily stresses. Their long life together was taking a very different turn than they had anticipated and the emotional support they received during our conversation was just as important as the resources and food we provided. Throughout the summer I met other seniors who were experiencing food insecurity as well. Some had children who helped them, others had children who never called, but they all shared the same burden: the stress and uncertainty that accompanies poverty. For senior women, poverty is a more common occurrence for a variety of reasons, from lower wages during their working careers to widowhood. According to a 2013 report from the National Women’s Law Center, more than twice as many women over the age of 65 lived in poverty than men – that’s over 2.6 million women compared to almost 1.3 million men. Eleven percent of women over 65 lived in poverty in 2012, but among women who lived alone, that percentage jumped to 18.9 percent. In one case, we were able to help a senior who was dealing with anxiety over her adult daughter’s mental health challenges. Maggie’s daughter could not work a full-time job and had dental needs that were causing her pain. Maggie also had her own health concerns, as her doctor told her she needed to start a special diet. We were able to set Maggie up with more frequent food shelf visits to

ensure she had regular access to special food items that met her dietary needs. I also provided Maggie with information about a free mobile dental clinic for her daughter. Maggie sounded so relieved, knowing that her daughter was going to have the care she needed. My time at 360 Communities Farmington Food Shelf last summer opened my eyes to a population with long-term needs that are often hidden from view. One day, I visited with a senior named Jack. He was a regular client at the food shelf and always had a joke to share with the food shelf volunteers. I saw a different side to him when he opened up to me about the loss of his wife five years ago. He cried as he spoke about loneliness and his need to connect with other people. During this holiday season, please check in with your senior relatives, neighbors and friends. Make sure they are eating well and have adequate housing and support. Even if you can just listen to their troubles, you can make a difference. Supporting 360 Communities is another way you can help. To make a donation or to find one of our five food shelf locations near you, please visit 360Communities.org or call 952-985-5300. Your gift will ensure people of all ages receive the stabilizing supports they need.

Student gives the gift of respect by Don Heinzman SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A Forest Lake High School student is giving a gift to every student with a learning disability by campaigning to end the use of the R word (retarded) in her high school. Clint Riese, editor of the Forest Lake Times, covered this story that deserves to be followed and duplicated in other high schools. Rachel Huset planned and carried out an all-school assembly where she explained her message: “Spread the Word to End the Word.” The 2,000 students were silenced by Rachel’s simple message and comments from victims of the word’s use. Rachel told the students of her five-year special relationship with Emily, now a thirdgrader, who has a learning disability. She told the hushed audience: “Emily means the world to me, and I want everyone to love her and accept her just as much as I do. She is my inspiration for this campaign. My initial goal was to start this campaign so that when Emily gets to high school, she will be loved and accepted just the way she is.” She told the students that the R word “has absolutely no place in our vocabulary.” “People with disabilities should not feel like they are not accepted or not wanted, and the R word creates that environment, whether you know that or not,” she said. One who listened was Brett Gravelle, senior and hockey team captain, who acknowledged that students have used the word repeatedly and don’t know what they are saying. Rachel had some aces up her sleeve. She introduced Zach Anderson, who explained he has a learning disability and Asperger’s syndrome. “All that means is that my brain works a little differently than yours,” he told the students. “But I’m just a regular teenager that wants to be treated just

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Don Heinzman like all of you. When someone says the R word, it makes me feel like you don’t think that I’m a regular teenager.” He went on: “When you say it, I think that you think I am dumb. I am a hardworking student that gets A’s and B’s, so I’m not dumb. I’m a Link Leader. I’m a basketball player. I’m a friend. I’m a teenager just like you.” Next, Rachel introduced Yoko Yang, the homecoming king, who has a learning disability, and he urged students to sign a banner pledging not to use the R word. It’s rare when a student plans an assembly all 2,000 students have to attend. Steve Massey, high school principal, said Huset’s program easily met the high standards for such an assembly. He said when students rise up and take the lead on issues, they have the power of what can happen. Now Rachel’s campaign is extending to the elementary schools. She learned of this international campaign when she volunteered with the Special Olympics. During this Christmas week, students with learning disabilities can be thankful for the gift Rachel has given them – a new respect because they no longer have to hear the R word from their classmates. Maybe other high schools can have this assembly and make a lot of students happier in the new year. Rachel welcomes your emails at Rachel.Huset@yahoo.com.

Teacher trips help students learn by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Local field trips for students are common, but not so much for teachers. But a Minnesota school recently took its teachers around neighborhoods they serve to help them understand more about their students and families. The ultimate goal is more student success. Many of the students at Academia Cesar Chavez, or their parents, come from Mexico. So Academia Cesar Chavez, a St. Paul charter public school, took the school’s faculty to visit Neighborhood House, CLUES (Cumunidades Latinas Unidas En Servicio) and the Mexican consulate – all located within 10 minutes of the school. “We want to expose the staff to the community so they can understand where their students come from,” explained ACC founder and Executive Director Ramona de Rosales. Principal Hernan Moncada told me, “If the staff is going to work with the community, they have to know the community.” There’s a lot of research to support the value of faculty knowing about, and using community information as they work with, students and faculty. For example, Gloria Ladson-Billings, a University of Wisconsin professor, studied outstanding teachers who appeared simultaneously on two lists: Principals created the first list, and parents developed the second. Billings observed faculty members who principals and parents agreed were excellent. In her award-winning book, “The Dreamkeepers,” Ladson-Billings described several things that most of the teachers did. One of the several strategies that most of these teachers used was to include references to local events, activities and community groups in their teaching. Then, as Ladson-Billings explains, these teachers “help students make connections between their community, national and global identities.” Other research by Joyce Epstein, a professor at Johns Hopkins University,

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Joe Nathan examined characteristics of schools that had a lot of parent and family involvement. She learned, among other things, that the best predictor of family involvement was not the income, race or marital status of parents. The best predictor of family involvement was what the school did to promote it. Understanding and respecting the community can help a school and classroom be more welcoming, encouraging and successful. So, for example, Academia Cesar Chavez educators learned about the close, ongoing relationships between families it served and their extended family members who still live in Mexico. Part of what ACC educators learned was that many of the families are simultaneously working to support their families and to attend classes so they can learn or improve their English. Thus, it’s important to schedule conferences at times that will work for parents. Educators won’t always live in the community or communities that their school serves.

HOOKAH, from 3A through hookah pipes. That is what is referred to as sampling. Amendments to Minnesota’s Clean Indoor Air Act prohibit most indoor smoking in public places, with some exceptions, including lighting of tobacco in tobacco-products shops “for the specific purpose of sampling tobacco product,� according to the state health department. Sherry said the hookah shops are exploiting a loophole by allowing customers to stay in the shops to smoke hookahs. Last February, a health department advisory said shop owners whose business model is “tobacco lounge� or “smoking lounge� should be denied local tobacco licenses “because this model is not legal in Minnesota.� Alex Bajwa, a lawyer representing Taha Hookah, attended Tuesday night’s meeting and spoke out against the indoor smoking ban from devices such as hookahs. His client had supported the ordinance as originally proposed by city staff without the indoor smoking ban. “The major concern for us was, we were actually very happy to see that all of the tobacco shops were treated the same under the city staff’s ordinance,� he said. “I guess the question comes when we ban sampling from devices but not sampling from cigars or cigarettes or cigarillos. The question we have is, why is one different from the other? “ Bajwa said his client is hearing from customers that it feels like the city is only banning hookahs and saying that those are different, more dangerous than being able to sample a cigar.

“Why is hookah tobacco considered more dangerous and it needs to be banned outright for sampling inside the shop, but it’s OK for the cigar bars to continue on in that operation?� Bajwa asked. Bajwa said hookahs are tied culturally to East Africa and the Middle East. Cigars within the city are predominately smoked by those who aren’t from those ethnic traditions. Kautz said customers can rent the hookah pipes and take them outside to smoke, which is what customers at Mediterranean Cruise Cafe in Burnsville do right now. “Having a lounge is prohibited by state statute,� Kautz said to Bajwa, “so you are in violation of state statute by having a lounge. We’re not even speaking about that. When we’re saying prohibiting sampling of tobacco product, we are looking at the Indoor Clean Air Act for all tobacco product. You just happen to use tobacco and you have a delivery device that we have had in this city for the last five years, or is it six? We have been open to that (with Mediterranean Cruise Cafe), but they are in compliance with state statute and with the city’s laws, so don’t do that, because that is incorrect.� The hookah shops came under fire in Burnsville following reported nuisances. The Fire Department has discovered instances of over-occupancy and other fire code violations at both businesses. A carbon monoxide reading taken in early November at Ignite, at a time when its ventilation system wasn’t working, showed levels five times acceptable Occupational Safety and Health Administration levels. Police have increased patrols at both

businesses and there have been complaints of noise, large crowds outside, loud vehicles, and other problems. In other business, the council rejected a request

by Tri-State Bobcat to keep the current Burnsville Bowl sign at their new location at the former bowling alley. The company wanted to keep the sign, saying that it was an iconic symbol in

the area. The height exceeds the zoning regulation of 24 feet set in that area. Instead, Tri-State Bobcat must work with city staff to come up with a plan to keep and remodel the sign

Conviction is a call to end domestic violence Roger Earl Holland convicted for killing his wife, unborn child by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The family of Margorie Ann Holland hopes to carry on in her name and stop further domestic violence after her husband was sentenced Tuesday afternoon to two consecutive life sentences for killing her and her unborn child on March 7. “We will move forward now by the grace of God, to be Margie’s voice to others in advocacy for an end to domestic violence, an end to being left with arms filled with emptiness,� the Apple Valley woman’s father, Ron Brown, told the Dakota County court in a victim impact statement. With Tuesday’s conviction of Roger Earl Holland, 37, Margorie Holland was proven beyond a reasonable doubt to be among the nearly 40 people in Minnesota who have died as a result domestic violence in 2013 – more than double the number of deaths in 2012. Margorie Holland’s murder is all too familiar with other domestic violence cases. Evidence introduced in court revealed that Margorie Holland on March 6 told her husband that she intended to divorce him, and in a text message sent 10 minutes earlier she told him that she intended to report him to authorities “first thing in the morning� for stealing her credit cards. “As advocates working to prevent domestic violence will tell you – the most dangerous time is when a wife or girlfriend finally takes action to end the marriage or relationship,� Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom said in a statement. “And that, unfortunately, is exactly what occurred here.

“We see far too much domestic violence in the Twin Cities and across Minnesota and throughout our nation. We must all dedicate ourselves to look for ways to prevent it. In Margorie Holland’s memory and the memory of the other innocent victims who have died at the hands of their spouse or partner, let us all offer a prayer of hope that this deadly violence stops.� More than 2,500 women and children are supported annually at Burnsvillebased 360 Communities Lewis House domestic violence shelters in Eagan and Hastings – that’s nearly seven victims per day. “Our sympathies go out to the family of Margorie Holland for their tragic loss,� said Sal Mondelli, president and CEO of 360 Communities. “Unfortunately, Minnesota has seen a surge in domestic homicides over the past year,� Mondelli said. “We want women to know that if they are in an abusive relationship, 360 Communities Lewis House offers confidential help 24 hours a day. Trained advocates provide shelter, counseling, safety planning and more to help women and children escape abuse. It is important that women don’t wait to call us until it is too late. They need to trust their instincts and call us if they don’t feel safe. “In order to curb this increasing trend of domestic homicides, we feel it is going to take the entire community to stand up against violence in all forms,� Mondelli said. “Most importantly, men need to get off the sidelines on this and engage as an active part of the solution.� Backstrom described Roger Holland as a desperate man who was experiencing financial troubles, was lying to his wife and had to do something to keep from being exposed as the liar he was. No evidence was intro-

duced that Roger Holland had been physically violent toward his wife prior to March 7. It was shown that the two had argued verbally and through text messages several times. Backstrom described Margorie Holland the morning of her death as ready to begin a new life. She was unaware that Roger Holland was considering and planning her death for some time, Backstrom said, as evidenced by multiple Internet searches made on Roger Holland’s smartphone and computer asking questions about whether someone could break their neck by falling down a flight of stairs and whether a person could break someone’s neck with one’s hands. He said Margorie Holland, a former member of the Texas National Guard, fought for life like the trained soldier she was. “She scratched and she clawed and she kicked, but she could not overcome the superior strength of her husband, Roger, as he eventually choked the life out of her,� Backstrom said. Roger Holland was also a former member of the Texas National Guard. “Her dreams for a happier life – her dreams of completing her schooling and starting a career as a physician’s assistant – her dreams of becoming a mom, would never be,� Backstrom said.

Family impact Roger Holland was told on Tuesday afternoon in court he would serve consecutive life sentences without parole after he was found guilty just 12 hours prior of two counts each of first- and second-degree murder in the March 7, 2013, death of his wife and child, a girl who was to be named Olivia. “Our arms are filled with emptiness and the shallow satisfaction that comes with hearing the verdict of guilty in the first de-

Brown said in a victim impact statement. “We will now be left with mere imaginations of how many more memories we could have shared with Margie and Olivia.â€? Roger Holland was found guilty of the same four charges that he was indicted for in April. “Words fail to express the grief, betrayal and horror we are now left with when we hear his name,â€? Brown said. “Even knowing justice is served does not comfort us.â€? His trial lasted two weeks and the jury deliberated for approximately 10 hours, delivering a verdict at about 1 a.m. Tuesday. During the sentencing hearing, family members of Margorie Holland asked for consecutive life sentences for both of the deaths, and Roger Holland denied the killings in a statement read by his attorney, the Pioneer Press reported. The first-degree murder with premeditation and intent to kill conviction will be appealed automatically to the state Supreme Court under Minnesota law, according to the Pioneer Press. The jury was faced with deciding if Roger Holland strangled his wife to death or that Margorie Holland died after she fell down the stairs at their townhome on 157th Street West. Roger Holland’s defense was that he returned home in the morning after going out to get breakfast and found his wife face down

phone records with a large number of text messages, which contained numerous arguments between the couple in the weeks prior to March 7 and some texts that referenced concerns about their financial problems. It was the text message records of March 7 that Backstrom said was the key piece of evidence. A text message Roger Holland claimed his wife sent him after he left the townhome was proven by a video surveillance tape to have been sent before he left the townhome, Backstrom said. “Inescapable proof of the truth of the violent, premeditated and intentional murder Roger Holland committed that morning,� Backstrom said. Roger and Margorie Holland had been married for approximately a year and a half and had been dating for some time before their marriage. They had moved into their Apple Valley residence in December 2012. Backstrom said in a press release that under Minnesota law, to convict someone of first- and second-degree murder of an unborn child, it is not necessary for a jury to find that a person had intent to kill the unborn child, or did so with premeditation, provided the defendant intended to kill the unborn child’s mother and did so with premeditation. Backstrom thanked the Apple Valley Police Department, the Dakota County Sheriff’s Office and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, which assisted in the investigation of this case. Backstrom praised chief deputy Phil Prokopowicz for his outstanding work prosecuting this difficult case.

on the floor wrapped in a blanket and non-responsive at the bottom of a staircase inside their townhome. He then called 911 to report she was unresponsive. Upon arrival of medical personnel, Margorie Holland’s body was cool to the touch, she was not breathing and had no heartbeat, according to the criminal complaint. Resuscitation efforts were attempted and she was transported to Fairview Ridges Hospital in Burnsville where she and her unborn child were officially declared dead. She was approximately 15 weeks pregnant. The prosecution said the medical examiner assigned to the case determined that Margorie Holland died by strangulation. When this evidence was introduced, Roger Holland’s defense offered that someone else could have entered the home and strangled her before Roger Holland found her. The complaint said medical personnel found numerous injuries on Margorie Holland’s body, including bruising and abrasions on her head, face, hands, legs, ankles and feet. Prosecutors presented that Roger Holland had visible scratches on the left side of his face and neck, and were signs of a struggle between the husband and wife. The defense attributed the scratches to Email Tad Johnson at rough sex, according to the tad.johnson@ecm-inc.com. Pioneer Press. Prosecutors also presented the Hollands’ cell-

Lakeville limits event spot-saving SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A new Lakeville ordinance aims to derail a growing spot-saving trend that has resulted in heated sidewalk and front-yard disputes during Pan-O-Prog, the city’s popular summer festival. The ordinance allows people to save spots one day ahead of a parade or any special event that happens in a street. It specifies that people cannot begin placing items for Pan-O-Prog Cruise Night and Parade until 9 a.m. the day of those events and requires all items to be removed by midnight so city crews can clean the streets. The tradition of saving viewing spots on sidewalks or in people’s front yards using tarps, bricks, chairs, ropes and blankets has grown increasingly competitive in recent years. This summer, many people put their items in public rights of way four or five days ahead of time, clam-

oring for prime viewing of Pan-O-Prog’s Friday classic car event, Cruise Night, and Saturday’s grand parade. Business owners and city officials say the items make downtown appear covered in trash. Don Speiker, owner of Lakeville Bowl, approves. “If I put junk out on the sidewalk, people would scream and holler,� Speiker said. He said if someone tripped, the city could be sued. The ordinance also bans people from securing their items to the boulevard with any materials that could “damage or negatively impact� the sidewalk or public right of way. Ben Franklin Drug store owner Scott Erickson also approves of the ordinance. He said he worries that his elderly customers could suffer serious injuries. “I can’t have 75-year-old grandmas stepping over blankets, tables and chairs to get inside our business,� Erickson said. City Council members said some frustrated busi-

ness owners or homeowners in the past have moved items placed to save spots, and have been confronted by angry spot-savers. A City Council memo states during this year’s Pan-O-Prog the city “received a significant amount of feedback� about the spot-saving trend. City Administrator Steve Mielke called the issues surrounding placesaving materials “a growing concern� at the Dec. 16 City Council meeting where the council unanimously passed the new ordinance as part of the long list of consent agenda items. The city will inform residents about the new rules in its publications and on signs posted before and during Pan-O-Prog. “We are hopeful this will improve safety and avoid heated discussions between people,� Mielke said. City staff worked with Pan-O-Prog officials, the Downtown Lakeville Business Association and city attorney to determine the ordinance provisions.

Overdose treatment could offer second chance by T.W. Budig SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A Brooklyn Center lawmaker is looking to give heroin overdose victims a shot at life, a second chance arriving too late to save her daughter. Sen. Chris Eaton, DFLBrooklyn Center, plans to introduce legislation allowing law enforcement, families and even people on the street to possess naloxone hydrochloride, or Narcan, an antidote for opiate overdose that can provide vital minutes for heroin overdose victims. By temporarily warding off possible asphyxiation, Narcan can provide a respite from death for further medical treatment. It’s “a simple solution to a terrible problem,� Eaton said of the legislation. Her 23-year-old daughter, Ariel Eaton-Willson, died in a Burger King parking lot in Brooklyn Center in 2007 from a heroin overdose.

Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek and Eaton appeared at a state Capitol press conference Tuesday, Dec. 10, to promote the pending legislation. Heroin deaths in Hennepin County are running at an all-time high, with 48 deaths recorded this year. Since 2011, 107 overdose deaths have been reported. Stanek described the proposed legislation as “life saving� because it would allow all of his 340 sworn officers the opportunity to administer Narcan, which can be injected or sprayed. Other law enforcement agencies would likely make Narcan available to their officers, he added. Administration of the drug is currently limited to emergency medical technicians, Stanek said. Eaton, a nurse by profession, wants Narcan readily obtainable — “to have it out there,� she said. She dismisses the idea that by making an antidote

available, more people would be willing to try heroin, perceiving a remedy is close at hand. Eaton said that is the same kind of logic critics of birth control had made. “If we can get this out in the community, we can save lives,� Eaton said. Stanek and Eaton described the drug scene in Minnesota as volatile and toxic, since high-grade heroin can be purchased cheaply, often by the young, blinded by a false sense of invulnerability. Eaton spoke of her daughter, who was perhaps driven to drugs from depression. “I was not aware she was using heroin,� Eaton said. “I knew something was wrong,� she said. Although her daughter did receive an antidote — a police officer noticed the commotion in the parking lot when the person her daughter was with franticly attempted to stash evidence, Eaton said — the antidote was given too late. “I miss her dearly,� Eaton said. “Ultimately, she made a bad choice.�

For many drug abusers the gateway to heroin is prescription drugs, Stanek said. A prescription drug collection program, in which residents can turn in unwanted, expired pre-

! $

scription drugs at drop-off points for disposal, has disposed of tons of unwanted prescription drugs, Stanek explained. In addition to making Narcan more accessible, Eaton also proposes to include a provision in her bill providing immunity from

prosecution for those calling 911 to report a drug overdose. Stanek said he would need to see the final language of the immunity provision to know whether he could support it. T.W. Budig is at tim.budig@ecm-inc.com.

Jonat h a n O z a n n e ’s new book may be the ideal stocking stuffer for fans of “Jeop- J o n a t h a n ardy!� or Ozanne the board game “Trivial Pursuit.� The Apple Valley resident recently released “Santa Claus’s Christmas Trivia Challenge,� a collection of 100 questions about the December holiday. Topics covered range from the commonplace – the origin of holiday traditions such as hanging stockings, for example – to odd and obscure items such as what the first artificial Christmas tree branches were made of (goose feathers dyed green). Ozanne said the book grew out of a series of Facebook posts in 2011 and

2012 in which he shared his knowledge of Christmas history with friends in the form of daily trivia questions. The positive reaction he got prompted him to put together the book this past fall. The research that went into the book was considerable, he said. “I consider myself to be an amateur historian

and one day it really struck me how little I knew about the history of Christmas,� Ozanne wrote in his author profile accompanying the book. “That prompted a massive research project in my spare time where volume upon volume of books about Christmas were read as I attempted to fill in this gap in my knowledge. I learned a lot and I wanted to share what I had learned.� “Santa Claus’s Christmas Trivia Challenge� is Ozanne’s second book. A lawyer by profession, he previously published “Law School Guidebook,� a handbook for students navigating their first semester at law school. Ozanne’s Christmas trivia book is available online through Amazon. —Andrew Miller

Sports Irish looking to be an all-around better team Girls hoops squad shows flashes of improved play by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Chris Orr has seen flashes of what he thinks the Rosemount girls basketball team can become. But, as the Irish’s 2-3 record would indicate, he hasn’t seen those flashes often enough yet. “We’re still looking to put it all together for 36 minutes,” said Orr, the Irish’s second-year head

coach.”In our first game against Eden Prairie (a 78-68 loss) we were up 13-2 early and led by six in the second half. We need to play a little more consistently to put away a game like that.” The Irish were 6-21 overall last season and tied for ninth place in the South Suburban Conference at 2-16. Several varsity regulars are back, stronger and a year wiser. The top returnee is senior guard Hannah Grim, who has signed with Marquette University. After leading the South Suburban in scoring as a sophomore, Grim averaged 18.5

points last season and scored as many as 35. Marquette is loading up on Minnesota guards; three signed with the Golden Eagles in November, including Grim and Bloomington Kennedy’s Kenisha Bell. One of the Irish’s problems the last few seasons has been developing another consistent scoring threat to complement Grim. “Hannah has always had a scorefirst mentality,” Orr said. “One area where she has improved is trusting her teammates enough to give them the ball when they have good shots.”

Grim has averaged about 18 points through the Irish’s first four games. Kaylie Hanson, a senior guard, is averaging about 10. Rosemount played a strong all-around game in its 71-36 victory over Bloomington Jefferson on Dec. 12. The Irish scored 48 points in the first half and got out to a 30-point halftime lead. Grim scored 24, but nine other Irish players put points on the board, including senior forward Kalley McMenomy (10), junior guard Ellie Vraa (eight) and Hanson (seven). That level of play

didn’t follow the Irish to Shakopee the next night, when the offense struggled in a 63-39 loss. Orr said he hopes Rosemount eventually will be characterized as a quick team that plays aggressive, man-to-man defense. “We can’t be just Hannah,” Orr said. “And we’ve had girls who have shown they can step up. We’ve talked about how we should have one goal – be a bulldog.” Actually, that’s not the Irish’s only goal. They also want to take better care of the ball. In Rosemount’s first three games,

the team had 14, 10 and nine turnovers, Orr said. “We want to have 14 turnovers or less per game,” Orr said. “Last year I don’t think we made that even once. We averaged 17.5 turnovers.” The Irish, who defeated Farmington 82-57 on Tuesday, return to South Suburban conference play at 7 p.m. Friday at Lakeville South. They will play in a holiday tournament at St. Cloud Tech High School beginning Dec. 27. Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

Tigers seeing progress on the court After taking some lumps, girls basketball team picks up some wins by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Farmington wants to demonstrate that it’s better than it has looked in its last two girls basketball games. Given time – and a return to health by a key player – the Tigers should be able to do just that, coach Sondra Chadwick said. The last couple of games were rocky for the Tigers, who are 3-4 overall. Their leading scorer, junior guard Sofia Chadwick, left during Saturday’s 73-39 loss to Owatonna because of a concussion. She also missed Tuesday’s 82-57 loss to Rosemount. Sondra Chadwick said Sofia Chadwick could return by Thursday night’s nonconference home game against Woodbury. The Tigers, with ev-

eryone healthy, won three of their first five games, including a 61-58 victory at future South Suburban Conference rival Apple Valley. All five of Farmington’s starters are returning players from last season, but none are seniors. The Tigers’ only senior, co-captain Aly Grebner, is typically the first player off the bench. Last season can best be described as a learning experience for the Tigers, who were 2-25, including 0-14 in the Missota Conference. They already have exceeded last season’s victory total. “Just having that year of experience playing against some strong competition, that should help us,” Sondra Chadwick said. “It gave our players a good idea of what they needed to work on to be

better this year.” Owatonna had a deep, talented team, Sondra Chadwick said, but the Tigers were able to stay with the Huskies for about the first nine or 10 minutes. The game got away from Farmington after Sofia Chadwick had to leave. Sofia Chadwick was averaging 17.6 points and 4.2 assists through the first six games. Abby Gallus, a junior guard, averaged 10.7 points. Grebner “has done an outstanding job coming off the bench and being a physical presence,” the coach said. “She’s gotten a lot of key rebounds.” Alicia Hett, another junior guard, averages 7.3 points. Morgan Mach and Leah Hammond are two more members of the Tigers’ deep group of guards; they scored

13 and nine points in the Rosemount game. Ninth-grader Kamryn Corraro has given the Tigers strong play at forward, as has junior Kaitlyn Gordon, the coach said. In addition to scheduling a couple of games against South Suburban teams in preparation for the Tigers joining that conference next year, the team also has gone 2-2 so far against potential section opponents, beating Rochester John Marshall and Rochester Century and losing to Rochester Mayo and Owatonna. Thursday’s game against Woodbury is the Tigers’ last before they go to Monticello for a holiday tournament Dec. 27. Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

Vivian Hett wins going away in Nordic opener Burnsville girls, Eagan boys are 1st-place teams by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Burnsville senior Vivian Hett, the 2013 state girls Nordic skiing state runner-up, won the first race of the 2013-14 South Suburban Conference season by almost one minute. Hett completed a 4.7-kilometer freestyle race Dec. 12 at Baker Park Reserve in 14 minutes, 40 seconds. Eastview sophomore Margie Freed was second in 15:32. Tamer Miche-Richter of Bloomington Jeffer-

son/Kennedy was the boys winner in 13:01, one second faster than Eagan junior Josh Podpeskar. Burnsville’s girls and Eagan’s boys won the team competitions. Tori Felton (seventh, 16:51), Jordan Horner (eighth, 16:53) and Jane Koch (10th, 16:54) also placed in the girls top 10 for Burnsville, which scored 168 points at the Dec. 12 meet. Freed, Kaley Hedberg (fifth, 16:46) and Kylie Kraemer (ninth, 16:54) were top-10 finishers for Eastview, which scored 151.5 points. Lakeville South finished fourth in the eightteam meet led by senior Carley Endersbe, who placed 11th in 17:05. Bri-

anna Vetter finished 19th in 17:41 for fifth-place Lakeville North. The ISD 196 team consisting of Apple Valley, Eagan and Rosemount placed eighth, and its top finisher was sophomore Ruby Carlson, who was 29th in 18:42. Eagan won the boys team competition with 156 points, 22 more than the ISD 196 cooperative of Apple Valley, Eastview and Rosemount. Wildcat skiers Podpeskar, Jacob Edmond (fourth, 13:45) and Patrick Acton (fifth, 14:20) placed in the top five individually. ISD 196 skier Rhett Carlson was third overall in 13:19 and teammate Grant Udelhofen was

11th in 15:02. Mitchell Miller finished eighth in 14:37 to lead Lakeville South, which took third in the team standings with 125.5 points. Burnsville’s Nate Blichfeldt finished sixth individually in 14:21. The Blaze placed sixth with 68 points. Lakeville North was eighth with 51 points, with Grant Eggan (24th, 15:33) leading the way for the Panthers. The conference held a classic technique race Tuesday, also at Baker Park. The next conference meet is a relay at 11 a.m. Dec. 31 at Valleywood Golf Course in Apple Valley.

Apple Valley attracts the bright lights for basketball Except for Eagles’ loss, TV game comes off without a hitch by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

When it came time for its TV close-up, Apple Valley High School was ready. In organizing what was likely the most eagerly anticipated and heavily hyped sports event in the school’s history, it was able to accommodate national television and put on a show that appealed to a wide range of people, from curious grade-schoolers to nonagenarian sportswriters (the Star Tribune’s Sid Hartman, of course). Last week’s boys basketball game between Apple Valley and Whitney Young high schools went off without incident – and by time the buzzer sounded to close Whitney Young’s 80-70 victory, it seemed like something the school had done numerous times before. Except that nobody in Minnesota really had done anything like this before. It is believed to be the first nationally televised high school basketball game in Minnesota. ESPN2 showed the game live, with the spotlight on two longtime friends – Apple Valley guard Tyus

Okafor’s team, Whitney Young High School of Chicago, won the nationally televised game 80-70. (Photo by Rick Orndorf) Jones and Whitney Young center Jahlil Okafor. They had pledged to attend the same college, following through last month when both signed with Duke University (they announced their choices in a live broadcast on another ESPN network). The school, meanwhile,

produced a 23-page media guide – unheard of for a regular-season high school game – and sold tickets for the 2,000-plus seats in advance. When ESPN people visited the Twin Cities last summer to review logistics for a possible game, AVHS athletic director

Pete Buesgens made it clear that if an Apple Valley team was going to be involved, he preferred the game to be held at the high school. That brought with it a number of issues that don’t arise for a normal regular-season game, such as: What happens if the coach who signed Jones and Okafor, who also happens to be one of the most famous coaches in the world, wants to come? Several Apple Valley police officers served as a security detail for Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski and assistant coach Jeff Capel, yet Krzyzewski still was bombarded with autograph requests. One of the autograph seekers was AVHS teacher Carla Christiansen, who has a copy of Krzyzewski’s book, “Leading with the Heart,� dating to her days as a coach in the Eagles girls basketball program. He wrote, “To Carla: Always Lead with Your Heart,� then signed it. Christiansen, a site manager for AVHS events, also got to watch her nephew, Stephen Christiansen, knock down a three-pointer early in the game. For her, the night was a win-win. Oh, and the game? It lived up to expectations, except maybe for those who were expecting the Eagles to win. There is

speculation that Okafor could be the No. 1 pick in the 2015 NBA draft, and it’s not difficult to understand why. At 6 feet, 11 inches, with a huge wingspan and hands large enough to palm a basketball, he controlled the paint at both ends of the floor. Apple Valley coach Zach Goring said there were a couple of times when he thought Okafor was hopelessly trapped under the backboard, only to see him use his length and strength to get the ball up to the rim. Okafor had 22 points and 15 rebounds, and the majority of his baskets were dunks. “We were trying to double him, but he’s so big, so strong, and agile,� Goring said. “We wanted to make their other kids beat us.� And that was the Eagles’ problem as the other Whitney Young players proved they were up to the task. The Dolphins have two other Division I-bound players in their starting lineup – Paul White (Georgetown), a 6-9 forward, and Miles Reynolds (Saint Louis), a 6-3 guard. Reynolds had 18 points and White 17. We don’t know much about the Dolphins’ bench because they never used it. All five starters played all 36 minutes. None of the reserves as much as took off his warmups.

Getting a Whitney Young player to foul out was a longshot at best as the Dolphins went the entire first half without being called for a foul. Additional breaks for TV timeouts and a commitment to a 2-3 zone helped keep the Whitney Young starters from wearing down. “They’ve got a bit of Syracuse in them the way they play that 2-3,� said Goring. Apple Valley even resoTyus Jones scored 25 points in the second half, finishing with 29, and sparked an Eagles’ rally after they fell behind by 17 points. But they couldn’t hit enough shots to complete the comeback. “I know I had to be more aggressive,� Tyus Jones said. “They put me in the middle to try to attack, tried to put me in positions to help the team. We were right there.� But even as the Eagles’ 35-game winning streak ended, they recognized they had been part of something bigger. They put their school, and their community, on a national stage. “I was happy for Apple Valley,� Jones said. “Apple Valley deserved this.� Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

Opinion Letters Obamacare success stories laughable

ginning of this coming to light, the attitude of our commissioners has been “don’t confuse us with facts, our mind is already made up.� It is not acceptable for Egan to just go through the motions of a sham to collect public input so that the public comment box required by the Metropolitan Council can be checked. He should pay attention to the taxpayers who object to the $31,029,429 bill that he voted for at the November Dakota County Planning Committee meeting.

To the editor: Regarding Ron Goldser’s letter “Health care act success stories� published Dec. 12; it appears to be just another attack on U.S. Rep. John Kline that the newspaper loves to publish. There well should be hundreds even thousands of “success stories� as logged on that Facebook site but they pale in comparison to the millions who have had their health plans cancelled, and/or will be paying significantly more SCOTT JOHNSON beginning in 2014.

It just happens that quickly,� Raptor Center clinician Pat Redig told the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Many of the eagles are convulsing and unable to stand, which are symptoms of acute lead poisoning triggered by the use of lead bullets. Why don’t we use leadfree bullets?

into the animal and fragment to increase damage. They argue that copper is not as effective because it travels through the animal and puts its force into the ground. Many pro-copper hunters argue that copper bullets leave an exit wound twice the size of the entry wound, which increases blood loss. Lead fragments in venison although small can lead adverse health conditions. A 2007 University of North Dakota School of Medicine study found that thousands of pounds of venison donated to food shelves contained fragments of lead, especially ground venison, and 59 percent of 100 randomly-selected packages of ground venison donated to the Community Action Food Pantry were contaminated with lead. So why not copper? Minnesota Deer Hunters Association executive director Mark Johnson argues: “The decision to use lead or copper should be a hunter’s prerogative. But from my own standpoint, if I can use something that is more accurate and something that is friendlier to the environment, then I’m going to do that.� Hunters have the right to shoot what they please. I would argue that with the knowledge we have pertaining to lead bullets and their harmful effects, it would be inhumane toward the eagles to not use copper. I am pro hunter, pro gun but believe if there is a better and safer way to kill deer why not try it.

John Kline has made it clear that he wants to repeal the Affordable Care Act – he’s voted over 40 times to do so. What we haven’t seen from Kline and Republicans in Congress is what they would do to make our health care system work better. The reality is the system wasn’t working before. Insurance companies had free reign over families’ financial and medical wellbeing. They could deny care, drop coverage, and hike costs with unchecked power. Those important protections are included in ACA and would be repealed if Kline had his way. The rollout of the website was frustrating. I’m angry and frustrated, like many Minnesotans, who don’t understand how this rollout could have been botched so badly. What would be worse would be Kline’s approach to throw out the ACA protections Minnesota families have. What have Kline and his colleagues done while they continue their repeal agenda? Nothing. USA Today reported that this Congress has accomplished less than any Congress in the last 60 years. The signature accomplishment of Kline and his colleagues was to shut down the federal government for the first time in 17 years. This political stunt may have shown their determination to repeal ACA, but it hurt our recovery and cost our economy $24 billion. Worse yet, while Kline

and his colleagues were shutting down the government, they weren’t working on important policy, like raising the federal minimum wage, passing immigration reform, or helping get people back to work. I remain focused on the priorities that matter to middle class Minnesotans – fix the problems with ACA, not throw it out. Congress needs to start worrying how to create family-supporting jobs, rather than simply saving their own jobs. That means raising the federal minimum wage and finally passing a Farm Bill – to name just two basic things Congress has failed to do this year. If Kline and his colleagues continue on this repeal agenda while ignoring things that would help Minnesota families get good family-supporting jobs, he will have earned the “donothing� label and the 9 percent approval rating that comes with it. MIKE OBERMUELLER Eagan, candidate for DFL endorsement in 2nd District

Where is Kline’s concern schools?

flawed and costly law on our schools is not in the best interests of teachers, parents, taxpayers, or students� (House Committee meeting, Dec. 1, 2013). He’s warning about the potential impact of Obamacare on schools. It may require they provide health care to substitutes or other part-time people who work over 30 hours a week. It sounds like Mr. Kline really cares about schools. Likewise, federal mandates for Special Education programs have had a huge effect on school district budgets. When it passed the special education law, Congress promised that it would pay 40 percent of the cost of special education; but federal funding to school districts has never approached this level. In 2004, for example, the federal government’s contribution was 20 percent nationally. Congress has yet to keep that promise, so local money is diverted from other programs to support the mandate. So much for his concern about federal mandates like Obamacare affecting local school finances. It appears Kline’s comments about Obamacare affecting schools is not about his love for funding education. Instead, it’s just his continued whining about Obamacare. Kline hates anything Obama. So when he complains about Obamacare hurting schools, take it with a grain of salt and 10 grains of aspirin. Kline can whine, but he certainly can’t legislate, lead, or govern. No amount of Obamacare can cure Mr. Kline’s problems.

To the editor: Incumbent 2nd District U.S. Rep. John Kline, R-Burnsville, claims to be concerned about the quality of education and the impact of federal laws on local schools. He talks about how “Washington can ‌ make these fiscal problems worse.â€? He says, “federal policies unrelated to education can still burden classrooms. The health care NANCY HALL law is a prime example. ‌ Burnsville Imposing a fundamentally

TOYS, from 1A ing businesses, banks, health care facilities, schools, restaurants and municipal buildings. This time of year tends to bring out the best in people. A few years ago, the department assisted on the death of a young boy’s grandfather who passed away in his sleep. They noticed the young boy was “just nuts for firemen,� Lindquist said. “He had firemen pajamas and pictures all over. It was just a few weeks before Christmas, so a few days later, we bought him the biggest fire truck I could find. They weren’t even on the list, but his grandpa just died. So we showed up in a fire truck and a few firemen helped us deliver the gift. We took him for a cruise around the block. Every year you hear something like that. It just all falls together,� he said. It’s a task that involves the Police Department, school district, Fire Department, area businesses and organizations. The Tiger Leadership Club, with nearly 100 high school students, raises funds for the ef-

forts. They organize the Mr. Farmington Pageant, a basketball tournament, Mr. Farmington competition and other fundraisers for Toys for Town. This year the students raised $3,600. Still, Lindquist is always worried the department won’t reach its goals every season. “I’m always nervous until we’re done, but someone smiles down on us and it always works out,� he said. This year is no different. The community has been generous, but there are still unfulfilled spots on the Christmas list. “There’s always enough for the little kids, but we need some for the boys and girls ages 10 to 14,� Lindquist said. “We need supplies too, like wrapping paper and tape. We try to bulk up after the season, but you go through so much of it.� Minnesota weather often dictates the shopping schedule. “It’s funny. If we don’t have any snow, the presents come in very slow,� Lindquist said. “If there is snow, we do well, but it’s been cold. People tend to hunker down and stay

inside when it’s cold.� There never seems to be enough toys until the final hour. The drive will accept donations up until Saturday. “I look at all the toys and I’ll make that one last ditch plea,� he said. “All of a sudden the last day or two, we’ll have more toys than I know what to do with.� If they have toys left over, Lindquist will donate them to the Salvation Army or Hands of Hope. Department staff organizes the gift list by age group and gender. Each child receives four to five presents. It’s a complex puzzle that always seems to work itself out in the end. The department uses the monetary donations to buy the families enough food for one big holiday meal along with filling in the gaps of toys. Last year they spent $6,000 on food and toys. Volunteers are welcome to wrap the gifts beginning at 9 a.m. Saturday at Farmington High School.

for the month ending October 31, 2013 (Exhibit B4); Advertising – October: Advertising revenue received by October 31, 2013 (Exhibit B5); NEA Foundation Grant – GH STEAM Room: A $5,000 grant from the NEA Foundation for compensating teachers who are integrating arts and science curriculum to utilize the STEAM Room at Glacier Hills Elementary School of Arts and Science (Exhibit B6); Personnel: Separations, leaves of absence and new staff (Exhibit C1); Clinical Experience: Agreement with St. Catherine University for clinical occupational or physical therapist experience effective December 2, 2013 through June 30, 2018 (Exhibit D1); REPORTS: Early Learning/Adult Basic Education Facility Director of Finance and Operations Jeff Solomon introduced the report on the Early Learning/Adult Basic Education facility and noted he had previously shared financing information for the project and would be happy to address any questions on the pre-sale analysis completed by Ehlers. Scott McQueen and Lynae Schoen with Wold Architects and Engineers, provided an overview of the current phase, which is completion of the Design Development for the Early Learning/Adult Basic Education Facility project. McQueen reported on the progress that has been made since his last report in September on the Schematic Design phase. He noted the 52,000 square foot space has been increased slightly to meet program needs and accommodate additional staff. He noted the additional 2,000 square feet is still within the project budget and has worked with the city to gain the approval to move forward with construction of the site. McQueen reported the zone to the west, toward the neighbors on Drake Path, has been thoroughly designed to the next level to include additional landscaping and berming; more development of areas for student use and to address storm water management issues. McQueen introduced Lynae Schoen who has been working with district staff. Schoen walked through the interior views and uses of each area in the building and the types of materials that they are looking to use. McQueen noted the project is moving into the Contract Document phase where final decisions will be made regarding materials and engineering. Wold will prepare the documents so that vendors are able to complete their bids in January. He plans to return to the February School Board meeting for the

MNSURE, from 1A residents in need. Because 360 Communities already has such connections with lower-income residents, county officials felt the nonprofit agency would be a good partner for the MNsure enrollment effort. Two other Dakota County nonprofits – Hastings Family Service and West St. Paul-based Neighbors Inc. – are also part of the effort. Meyer said one of the other benefits of the effort is informing residents about other options for financial assistance. CRIMES, from 1A report, she said she knew the plants were on the property but said someone had thrown marijuana a seeds in the greenhouse years ago and the plants just grew. She said she did not actively care for the plants. In the report, Abeln admitted to using marijuana for medical reasons, but denied smoking it out of a pipe, but rolling it with tobacco. She denied the drug paraphernalia belonged to her stating

Meyer said MNsure will know how effective the effort has been when its first report is issued in January. The January report might not tell the whole story, since Meyer said MNsure expects a rush of applicants as the deadline for open enrollment nears in March. The grant runs through September. Meyer and county officials will evaluate its progress this spring to determine if other efforts are needed. During the month of December, MNsure sessions with certified application counselors at

the Burnsville and Rosemount sites were on Tuesdays and Thursdays with morning and afternoon time blocks. The next MNsure session at the Rosemount Family Resource Center is 8 a.m. to noon Dec. 31. To sign up for appointments, call 651-322-5113 for Rosemount and 952985-5300 for Burnsville. More information about the Dakota County MNsure program is at 651-554-5611.

someone else had left the drug paraphernalia at her house. She was charged with two felony fifth-degree controlled substance crimes for possession and sale, along with one count of possession of drug paraphernalia this week. The maximum penalty for the charges is 10 years in jail, and/or a $20,300 fine. “Marijuana is a dangerous and addictive drug,� Dakota County Sheriff Dave Bellows said. “It’s a felony to possess a significant quantity of it.�

Using marijuana for medical purposes is illegal in Minnesota. A first-time offender that doesn’t have any prior drug convictions is eligible for a stay of adjudication, meaning there would be a period of probation and fines, according to Bellows. “Typically a first-time drug offender wouldn’t end up with a criminal record,� Bellows said.

board to award the bids. The building is scheduled to open in January 2015. Shane Butler, Project Manager with Bossardt Corporation, the construction management company, reviewed the project budget cost analysis and noted the first five contracts were $370,000 under estimated budget, which is reflected in the design development costs. The current total project budget is $13,510,000. Bossardt will put together another estimate and refine the budget even further as the project moves to the Contract Document phase; probably in mid-December. Seven people spoke to this topic and mostly expressed concern with traffic. Duchscher announced the administration will contact area residents within the next couple of weeks to respond to their concerns. Enrollment Projections for 201415 through 2018-19: Student Information Supervisor Kim Reis presented five-year district enrollment projections (Exhibit E), focusing on projected numbers for the 2014-15 school year. An Enrollment Projections Committee reviewed key assumptions and results from the census-based and cohort survival (grade progression) models to determine projections through 2018-19. Assuming all factors that affect enrollment stay the same, the projections show the enrollment decline has slowed and enrollment is stable. The total district enrollment for 2014-15 is projected to increase overall by 26 students to 27,228. Reis said the district’s peak enrollment was in 2003-04. The district attempts to maintain a 100 percent census of district population, and new development is tracked by individual census areas. New growth, which has begun, will be in the eastern and southern portions of the district.

all new course proposals, replicated courses, dropped courses and course title changes are in Exhibit G. He gave a brief overview of the course revision process and highlighted some of the changes. Courses are aligned with state academic standards and federal graduation requirements. In addition, the district engages the community as to what they think would be best for students. This was evidenced with the expansion of magnet school curriculum in world languages to middle schools and high schools. Troen noted students may earn college and high school credit by taking College in the School (CIS) Advanced Placement classes and other dual credit options. These courses have seen increased enrollment, save families’ tuition dollars and benefit students by being college ready. The changing world of technology and student interest also drives course revisions and exclusions. Programs are shifted to meet student needs. There were no requests for course revisions at the middle school level for next year. The board is scheduled to act on the proposed high school course revisions at its next regular meeting OTHER ACTION: Canvass Returns of November 5, 2013, General and Special Election: Administrative Assistant to the Superintendent Kim Craven asked the board to approve a resolution canvassing the returns of votes of the November 5, 2013 school district general and special election (Exhibit H). She noted nearly 24 percent of registered District 196 voters cast ballots and there were 553 absentee votes. There were 21,361 voters who cast votes for three School Board members and one challenger as follows: Mike Roseen-12,138; Gary Huusko-10,616; Art Coulson-9,811 and Craig Angrimson-7,199. Voters also voted to revoke the district’s existing referendum authorization of approximately $1,110.95 per pupil and replace it with a new authorization of $1,485.95 per pupil for ten years, with 14,217 voting in favor, 7,124 voting against the same and there were 20 blank ballots. Motion by Albright, seconded by Schutte and carried, with six members voting in favor and no member voting in opposition, to approve the resolution. Issuance of Certificates: Craven asked the board to approve a resolution authorizing issuance of certificates of election and directing the school district clerk to perform other election-related duties (Exhibit I). Motion by Magnuson, seconded

by Schutte and carried, with six members voting in favor and no member voting in opposition, to approve the resolution. Clerical and Secretarial Employees Appreciation: In conjunction with American Education Week and Education Support Professionals Day, Berenz asked the board to approve a resolution recognizing the vital role played by clerical and secretarial employees in supporting the education of students and declaring November 17-23, 2013 as District 196 Clerical and Secretarial Employees Appreciation Week (Exhibit J). Motion by Huusko, seconded by Albright and carried, with six members voting in favor and no member voting in opposition, to approve the resolution. Maintenance Support Employees Appreciation: In conjunction with American Education Week and Education Support Professionals Day, Berenz asked the board to approve a resolution recognizing the vital role played by maintenance support employees in supporting the education of students and declaring November 17-23, 2013 as District 196 Maintenance Support Employees Appreciation Week (Exhibit K). Motion by Schutte, seconded by Coulson and carried, with six members voting in favor and no member voting in opposition, to approve the resolution. BOARD MEMBERS AND SUPERINTENDENT UPDATES: Albright congratulated re-elected incumbents, thanked citizens for voting and reminded people that November 14 is Give to the Max Day and schools may receive matching donations through GiveMN. Duchscher thanked everyone for voting and the parent group for its support. Berenz reported she wrote Rick Heller who spoke at the October 14 board meeting. She congratulated incumbents and thanked all who took the time to learn about the levy and who shared that knowledge with others in the community. Berenz said the one-on-one engagement on the issue combined with community leaders and organizations such as Chamber and Rotary resulted in high voter turnout. ADJOURNMENT: Motion by Huusko, seconded by Schutte and carried, with six members voting in favor and no member voting in opposition, to adjourn the meeting at 7:15 p.m. Published in Dakota County Tribune December 19, 2013 150390
