The city of Rosemount is focused on the future as plans for a proposed mega-development at UMore Park continued to advance and two senior housing projects are expected to be built in 2014. Activity and approvals were granted for work at UMore Park this year as Dakota Aggregates’ 40-year mining operation began in January. Dakota Aggregates, a cooperative between Cemstone and Ames Construction, is mining the west 1,722 acres of UMore Park, which encompasses about 4,900 acres. The mining operation is only a prelude for what is to come. The plan for the entire site is for it to become a sustainable community with housing, commercial and educational sites as set forth in the University of Minnesota’s Alternative Urban Areawide Review.

The 113-page AUAR, approved Oct. 15 by the Rosemount City Council, primarily addresses work that aims to mitigate environmental factors such as water, erosion, wastewater, traffic and soil conditions based on the development. Outlined in the AUAR are four development scenarios, three of which are interpretations of the university’s December 2012 concept master plan. Those three scenarios range from providing housing for 25,000 to 35,000 residents and the opportunity for 18,000 to 24,500 jobs. The city of Rosemount currently has about 22,000 residents. The other scenario is based on the city of Rosemount and Empire Township’s comprehensive plans. Neither plan is specific enough to examine expected residential and non-residential uses. The mining operation, which had its annual permit approved after it was submitted Oct. 29, aims to extract material that can be used in concrete production, asphalt production, precast products manufacturing, and processing of raw aggregate materials.

Dew Days The annual Dew Days celebration in early summer was a hit. With new events – such as Beer, Brats and Bingo; Flavors of Farmington and a bean bag tournament – the festival brought out bigger crowds. In 2009, the Dew Days organization needed to borrow $26,000 from Farmington and Empire Township after failing to pull in enough profit. The group paid the loan back one year early because of the success of 2013’s celebrations.

Rule changes Citing citizen complaints, the city updated a couple of ordinances in the fall concerning golfing in city parks and property maintenance. In November, the city passed an ordinance banning golfing in all city parks. Residents complained that golf balls were hitting their property and were potential safety hazards to other park attendees. In October, the city updated the property maintenance code to make sure citizens were keeping up the exterior of their property. Using a complaint-based system, citizens are notified if the exterior of their property if 25 percent of the paint, siding, roof or brick work requires repair.

Opinion Board member welcomes input on Lebanon Hills master plan by Tom Egan SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

I seriously pondered whether I should respond to the letter written by Scott Johnson (“Commissioner Egan is correct,” Dec. 19, 2013) in this newspaper. I decided it was important to the reading public to clarify misinformation. So I am writing my response. First, let me say that many comments have been received in various forms about the plan for Lebanon Hills Regional Park and many of those comments have been negative. That is why Dakota County extended the process time for consideration of park improvement plans from last summer to early 2014. That is why interested parties were invited in September to join the Dakota County staff and board of commissioners on a tour of the park and workshop. That is why the Dakota County Board directed the Dakota County Planning Commission to hold a public hearing on Lebanon Hills this fall. That is why after receiving a unanimous recommendation by the Planning Commission to open the public comment period the Dakota

Guest Columnist

Tom Egan County Board on Nov. 19 unanimously voted to open that 60-day comment period on Lebanon Hills from Nov. 19 to Jan. 18. Also, two open houses were planned to make presentations to the public about tentative improvements at Lebanon Hills. One was held on Monday, Dec. 16 at the Dakota County Western Service Center in Apple Valley; the second is scheduled at the same location for Jan. 14. Dakota County staff did an incredible amount of work laying out clear and simple graphic information about the tentative plans. As a policy maker, I can’t possibly imagine relying on the opinion of the public concerning an issue such as this as much before they are presented with an opportunity to review information as before. None of the

comments Mr. Johnson mentions were made before even this first open house. Attendance at this open house was significant although a large number of attendees came with their own predisposition and weren’t very interested in the presentations. And then there is Mr. Johnson’s statement that “taxpayers [should] object to the $31,029,429 bill that [Egan] voted for at the November Dakota County Planning Committee meeting.” Well, for those of you who have recently read that this month the Dakota County Board of Commissioners voted to authorize a levy for 2014 that is 0.6 percent below the levy for 2013 keeping Dakota County with the lowest levy per capita of any county in the metropolitan area, you might be confused. You see, Mr. Johnson is wrong. The Dakota County Board has yet to authorized any amount for Lebanon Hills improvements. And if and when we do, it is anticipated that those improvements will occur and be paid for over 20 years. So again to summarize, we still have at least one more open house scheduled for Jan. 14 on tentative Lebanon Hills

improvements. It would be great if attendance at that open house was at least as good as we had at the first one. We may decide to hold further open houses. The intent is to collect, refine and condense all the information obtained from all sources – including these open houses – and to come back with plans that take into consideration all those comments. We are considering extending the period further to allow everyone to be engaged in all options. A number of people have contacted me … including several at the first open house … expressing a desire to work on a compromise solution for Lebanon Hills. Bearing in mind that the main responsibility the Dakota County Board has is to make Lebanon Hills – and all the parks in our regional park system -–as accessible to as many people as possible we will continue to work toward coming up with a plan that is as acceptable to as many people as possible. Tom Egan is a member of the Dakota County Board serving the Third District, which includes the city of Eagan. Columns reflect the opinion of the author.

‘Vitally important’ state report almost three years late by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

“I think it is vitally important to have the ‘Getting Prepared’ report updated in 2014, given the push we did this legislative session to advance early college opportunities for all secondary students.” That’s what Rep. Carlos Mariani, DFL-St. Paul and chair of the Minnesota House K-12 Education Policy Committee, told me this week. State law requires that this report be completed and shared annually with legislators. But despite this law, the report was last issued in January 2011, almost three years ago. It’s online at http://bit.ly/1bPf6uk. As with state and federal health care applications, it appears that, unanticipated computer and data problems are causing big delays. “Getting Prepared” shows what number and percentage of graduates from each Minnesota public high school had to take developmental, aka remedial or high-school level, courses when they entered a Minnesota public college or university. It’s valuable for legislators to know whether the state and individual schools are making progress. (A recent report on kindergarten readiness shows progress in that field.) Because the report shows how many graduates at each high school took re-

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Joe Nathan medial courses in reading, writing and math, high school educators can use “Getting Prepared” to identify and then work on improving student preparation in those subjects. “Getting Prepared” also helps students and families see how well prepared graduates are for public higher education. Finally, the report is important because of 2013 changes in state law. High school students are no longer required to pass reading, writing or math tests in order to graduate. Instead, students will be encouraged to take various tests and assessments that help them understand where they are compared to expectations of colleges and employers. Taking remedial courses costs families and taxpayers millions of dollars. Our goal should be to reduce the number of students entering public colleges and universities who take these courses. Minnesota Statute 13.32, subdivision 6(b) is clear. It reads in part: “Public postsecondary systems annually shall provide summary data to the Department of Education indicating

the extent and content of the remedial instruction received in each system during the prior academic year by, and the results of assessment testing and the academic performance of, students who graduated from a Minnesota school district within two years before receiving the remedial instruction. The department shall evaluate the data and annually report its findings to the education committees of the legislature.” I’ve been asking for this report since fall of 2012. In March 2013, I was told that the responsibility to produce the report had been shifted from the two public higher education systems, the University of Minnesota and the Minnesota State College and University system to the Minnesota Office of Higher Education. Since then, I’ve talked with Office of Higher Education officials a number of times. Initially the Office of Higher Education said data would be available in June. That later was changed to July and then “the fall.” I checked again with the Office of Higher Education and Department of Education officials this week. The report still is not done. State officials have held several meetings around Minnesota this month to encourage high school and college collaboration, leading to better-prepared students. Having an updated “Getting Prepared” report would have been

helpful. Sandy Connolly, communications director at the Office of Higher Education, explained the office’s analysis of data has produced “some inconsistencies ... with regard to the percentage of students taking developmental education at MnSCU.” So officials are “checking the individual records of thousands of students, a step OHE believes is necessary for the integrity of the final product.” Perhaps it’s time to go back to the old system, where the University of Minnesota and MnSCU system complete the report, until the inconsistencies can be resolved. More people may also be needed to help finish the report. The Office of Higher Education says the new report will include more details and, for the first time, data from Minnesota students attending private as well as public institutions. That could be valuable. But almost three years have elapsed since this report was produced. The law (wisely) says the “Getting Prepared” report is supposed to be done each year. It’s time to follow the law. Joe Nathan, formerly a Minnesota public school teacher, administrator and PTA president, directs the Center for School Change.

Farmington has a new option for those with serious fitness New Year’s resolutions; Crossfit Calypso opened its doors last month in Farmington. It’s not a traditional gym with rows of ellipticals and televisions. “We don’t use machines, we build them. We do things that will help people with everyday health,� co-owner Thad Caron said. Crossfit Calypso features pull-up bars, weight lifting bars, kettle bells, weight balls, gymnastics rings, jump ropes and row machines. The owners say their business model, too, is different than a traditional gym. “We don’t want a bunch of members who never come, like some gyms. We want a few members and we want them to come in every day to work their butts off,� Caron said. Crossfit isn’t easy to define. It’s not a weight loss program nor sportsspecific training. It involves building functional strength, mobility and overall fitness by combining gymnastics, Olympic weight lifting and highintensity interval training. “Everything you can imagine in fitness,� Caron said. “We run, we jump, we climb, and we lift. We have a few key workouts every year where we stop and measure our progress, but we rarely do the same workout twice.� Members are encouraged to come to daily one-hour sessions where there’s a workout of the day, or WOD, where participants complete a series of movements that could include anything from pull-ups, snatches, rowing, running, squats and more. The workouts are timed, so next time they’re performed, participants can see how they’ve improved.

Crossfit Calypso owners Max Dennis and Thad Caron recently opened their specialized fitness gym off Highway 50 in Farmington. (Photo by Andy Rogers) “We always want to be increasing our intensity either with more weight or faster,� Caron said. The draw is the camaraderie, since many of the same people are with you during the hourlong daily workouts. “Human nature is you’re going to push a little harder when someone is next to you,� Caron said. “If you see eight other people pushing themselves, you’re not going to let up.� The fact that there’s a personal trainer making sure participants are using correct form and encouraging members, while designing the workout, is another draw. Caron has been a personal trainer for six years, owning his own personal training business. Co-owner Max Dennis has a football background and works full time as an engineer in Minneapolis. As a college football player with the University of Nebraska at Omaha, he spent time with coaches who went on to start one of the first Crossfit gyms in the Midwest. He’s been doing the Crossfit-style

workouts long before most people heard of it. “My first stereotype is they’re just moving light weight, but after doing some research it’s actually pretty beastly,� Dennis said. Crossfit gyms have been growing in popularity with the number of gyms almost doubling in the past two years to about 10,000. “People who do Crossfit are usually pretty fit,� Caron said. “So when they talk to friends and family, they say they do Crossfit. It’s all word of month. It’s an actual sport now too. They have the Crossfit games on ESPN.� There are also gyms in Lakeville and Apple Valley, but the Calypso owners saw an opening in Farmington. “There’s nothing down here really,� Caron said. “I knew there was something missing from Farmington.� Caron said that Crossfit can be catered to anyone. They have members who are 13 years old up to seniors. “Some people came to us completely out of shape, and some came

in wanting to get in even better shape,� Caron said. “We say we create the workouts for the best and tailor the workouts for the rest.� Business has been good. Their goal was to have 20 members by January, but they actually had 30 by mid-December after being open about a month. Long-term, the goal is to have 100-200 members, hire more coaches and expand the facilities. The cost to join ranges from $100 to $150, depending on the number of classes. Crossfit Calypso has two classes from 5-7 a.m. and two from 5:307:30 p.m. during the weekdays, and from 10:30-11:30 a.m. on Saturdays. They offer two free introductory workouts a week on Monday night and Saturday morning, and a four-week introductory course. The gym is located at 21210 Eaton Ave., off Highway 50. “I knew I needed an big, tall industrial place,� Caron said. “We’re going to make some noise.�

State DFL caucus handed $100,000 fine by T.W. Budig SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board fined on Tuesday, Dec. 17, the Minnesota DFL Senate Caucus $100,000 for wrongfully working with 13 of its candidates in the 2012 election. The $100,000 civil penalty is among the biggest in state history. The DFL state party and the candidates were not fined. “We continue to maintain that our candidates and the caucus campaign committee complied with all campaign finance laws. Although we respectfully disagree with the board’s position, we believe it is better to put this matter behind us,� DFL Senate Majority Leader Tom Bakk, DFL-Cook, said in a statement about the settlement reached with the board. Senate Democrats admit to no wrongdoing in the settlement. The Republican Party of Minnesota began filing complaints in October 2012, charging that DFL campaign materials were wrongfully listed as independent expenditures, but the materials were not because the candidates were actively engaged in photo shoots in producing the print ads, thereby breaching the

legal wall between candidates and independent expenditures. Republican leaders heralded the board’s decision. “Senate Democrats were so intent on winning at any cost and throwing huge money into the 2012 campaign that they played fast and loose in a big way,� said Republican Party of Minnesota Chairman Keith Downey in a statement. “We will never know how this illegal coordination would have impacted the results in these races and ultimately control of the Legislature. They cheated, they won, but at least they are being held accountable now,� Downey said. Republican Senate Minority Leader David Hann, R-Eden Prairie, struck a similar tone. “The question really needs to be asked, ‘Would they have won the majority if they hadn’t cheated?’� Hann said in a statement. Campaigns named in the investigation include those of Sen. Jim Carlson, DFL-Eagan; Sen. Greg Clausen, DFL-Apple Valley; Sen. Melisa Franzen, DFL-Edina, and Sen. Alice Johnson, DFL-Spring Lake Park. The board noted in its findings that some of the candidates suspected the photo shoots were for the purpose of developing independent

expenditures but believed inquiring further could destroy the independence of those expenditures. The board recognized in assessing civil penalties that the candidates believed they could rely on the DFL Senate Caucus’ decision to ask them to participate in the photo shoots. “While this reliance was misplaced and does not affect the conclusion regarding whether the conduct results in violations of contribution and spending limits for the candidates, it is an appropriate factor to consider in assessing civil penalties in this matter,� the board concluded. The board previously has issued other big fines. It investigated independent spending by the Republican Party of Minnesota in 2002, which subsequently led to the reclassification of $500,000 in Republican independent expenditures as approved expenditures. Former Gov. Tim Pawlenty’s gubernatorial campaign was fined $100,000 by the board in the matter, and the reclassified funds were counted against the campaign’s spending limit. Email T.W.

Lindquist said. She noted that CDA has an affordability factor for seniors seeking independent living, while the Stonebridge project would attract seniors seeking aspects of assisted living. The Rosemount Port Authority approved the CDA’s purchase of about the northern 40 percent of the former Genz Ryan site for $300,000 during its Oct. 15 meeting. “We are excited about it,� said Kari Gill, CDA deputy executive director. “We are hoping to do an attractive building.�

Cleanup at odds Over the past year or so, the university and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have been at odds over cleanup on other portions of the UMore site. The university says it will work with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency with regard to the cleanup, but would only formally commit to a process if the corps did. The corps did not, so in November the MPCA started a formal process to take the lead in investigating and cleaning up contamination at UMore Park and hold both the university and corps responsible for paying for it. The corps and the university had the opportunity to enter into a cooperative cleanup agreement, but the corps maintained it was not a “responsible party� for the contamination left behind from the former World War II munitions plant – Gopher Ordnance Works. The MPCA says the university is the other responsible party, since other contamination is believed to be from former tenants the university contracted with and the university itself. 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. It is not known how much it could cost to assess and remediate the property. Some possible avenues for funding would be the Formerly Used Defense Sites program or the Defense Environmental Restoration Account, which are allocated by Congress to address Department of Defense responsibilities. 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

Rosemount residents reviewed in July Stonebridge Communities of Apple Valley’s plan for a senior housing and public activity center that would be built north of the Steeple Center. (Graphic submitted by city of Rosemount) 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, the university 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.

Senior housing Senior housing options in Rosemount will get a big boost in 2014 as two projects are expected to have work commence this spring. The Dakota County Community Development Agency purchased three homes on the east side of Cambrian Avenue in Rose-

mount this fall with the aim to consolidate the property with a nearly 1 acre north portion of the former Genz Ryan Plumbing & Heating site to build a 60-unit senior housing building. It would become the second such downtown Rosemount project in the works as Apple Valley-based Stonebridge Communities is working with the city to develop an 80- to 90-unit senior building with an attached 5,000-square-foot senior center north of downtown. “They complement each other,� Community Development Director Kim

Regulars at Celts Pub & Grill will have to wait until next year to pull up a stool at the 12-year-old south portion of the business, which was damaged by fire in the early morning hours of Sept. 9, as restoration work continues. The fire that reportedly was found at about 7 a.m. in the kitchen area by responding Rosemount firefighters was contained to the south portion of the building, which sustained heavy smoke damage. Celts-Rosemount owner Brandon Barth and manager by Justin Lecher wrote on the pub’s Facebook page Dec. 19 that the kitchen was cleared to open that day, but the south portion was not ready for patron use. The north portion of the business, which has a separate entrance and was added in summer 2004, was open by the end of the week after the fire. “We again want to thank everyone for their support during this time and look forward to seeing all of you,� Celts posted on its Facebook page Dec. 19. No one was in the building at the time of the fire.

Police believe the University of Minnesota student and Burnsville High School graduate was killed in Rosemount, where she was last seen Sept. 22. Schunk was with her ex-boyfriend, Anthony Lee Nelson, of Rosemount, at closing time Sept. 22 outside Nina’s Grill in Burnsville when Nelson allegedly shot a man to death. The victim was 23-year-old Palagor Obang Jobi of Savage. Authorities say she left the bar with Nelson and his current girlfriend, Ashley Marie Conrade, and they drove to her Rosemount townhome. Schunk’s family reported her missing Sept. 23. Nelson is charged with second-degree murder in Jobi’s death. Conrade is charged with aiding an offender for allegedly harboring Nelson. “We are committed to doing everything we can to bring to justice the person responsible for this horrific crime,� Chief Eric Werner said.

Murder-suicide

The shooting deaths of a married Rosemount couple was ruled a murder-suicide, according to the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office. The results released Oct. 10 show that Steven Lee Vasey Jr., 32, suffered multiple gunshot wounds, and Melissa Vasey, 31, suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound while inside their apartment at the 2900 block of 146th Street West.

For the contest, people are asked to fill out entry blanks. The winner of the car was drawn by an independent party. “Silas is one of our most favorite little shoppers,� said Becca Schorr, a Fluegel’s employee. “He always has this huge smile on his face and he loves to make us all laugh, and this year he even sang us a Christmas carol. It was beyond exciting to see his cute little hand-written name with his number on the slip of paper. When he came in with his mom and baby brother to pick it up, he was so happy and excited. He even whispered in his mom’s ear (she told me this later) it’s going to be his superhero car. We are so thankful to have such great customers, and are so thrilled so many people entered to win.� Other giveaways were 12 cat toy baskets and 12 dog toy baskets.

Local soldier on road to recovery Apple Valley graduate Kristopher Francisco, injured in Afghanistan, receives MMAF grant by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Kristopher Francisco’s 2010 deployment to Afghanistan came to an abrupt and terrifying end. While on a mission, the 2005 Apple Valley High School graduate and thenU.S. Army specialist was injured after an improvised explosive device was detonated directly beneath his vehicle. Making matters worse, he and the other soldiers came under enemy fire during the evacuation, and it was several hours before they were transported to a safe area. Even after leaving the combat zone, Francisco has had an uphill battle. He’s endured more than a dozen surgeries addressing a leg injury, and he still suffers from a traumatic brain injury and posttraumatic stress disorder. Francisco, who enlisted with his older brother in

the Minnesota Army National Guard in 2009 and went on to join the Army’s 101st Airborne Division, was awarded the Purple Heart for the injuries he sustained in Afghanistan. He also received a “thank you� of sorts recently in the form of a $10,000 grant from the Minnesotans’ Military Appreciation Fund, a nonprofit that awards grants to the state’s military personnel. “It will go a long way toward paying the bills,� Francisco, a Prior Lake resident who recently retired from the Army, said of the grant awarded Dec. 13. “It’s very humbling to be thanked for my service, and it feels really good that the people of Minnesota recognize those that serve in the military.� Since 2005, the nonprofit has awarded 15,000 grants totaling $9 million to Minnesota service

members. The levels of grants are: $500 for all Minnesota military personnel who serve in a combat zone; $2,000-$10,000 for those wounded in a combat zone, with the amount based on the severity of injury; and $5,000 to the families of those killed in combat. “Minnesotans’ Military Appreciation Fund was founded to honor Minnesota heroes like Spc. Kristopher Francisco, who risked his life for our freedom,� said MMAF chairman Roger Sit. “Awarding (Francisco) this grant is the least we can do to thank and honor him for the sacrifices he and his family have made for our country.� More about the Minneapolis-based MMAF’s grant program is at www. mmaf.org.

Sports 2013 in review: Irish get another shot at title Football team’s run to dome is a sports highlight by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Rosemount’s football players thought this might be their year to win a state championship. Although that didn’t happen, the Irish did succeed in giving their community something to cheer about for three months. The football team’s state runner-up finish was one of Rosemount’s sports highlights of 2013. In this story, we look at that and some other memorable moments:

To the dome Rosemount was the last team to win a state large-school championship game outdoors. In November, the Irish tried to be the last team to win a state large-school championship at the Metrodome. Eden Prairie stopped Rosemount short in its bid for the title, winning 28-7 in the Class 6A championship game. The Irish started and ended the season with losses, but also ran off 11 consecutive victories that clearly established them as a worthy Prep Bowl contender. They won 10 games by 24 points or more and rolled to the South Suburban Conference championship. They had an offense that could move the ball on the ground or through the air and a big-play athlete in Dimitri Williams. The defense featured two linebackers (Craig Syzmanski and Nate Sackett) who had more than 10 sacks each and a set of twins (Carter and Connor Yepsen) playing cornerback. “We definitely wanted to play Eden Prairie,” Sackett said the week before the Prep Bowl. “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.’ ” It wasn’t to be for the Irish, who were in the Prep Bowl for the second time in four years. A slow start on offense put them in a hole from which they couldn’t escape.

Hurdles surprise It’s fair to say that Rosemount’s Rachel Schow was a surprise champion in the 100- and 300-meter hurdles races at the state Class AA girls track meet because one of the people most surprised was Schow herself. “I couldn’t even think about winning one of them,” she said shortly after receiving her second first-place medal. “This is completely crazy.” Schow didn’t even start running the 300 hurdles until the 2013 season but, as a former sprinter, found she had the speed for it. In the 100 hurdles, she beat Lakeville North sophomore Michaela Preachuk by one hundredth of a secRosemount’s defense swams an Eden Prairie ball carrier at the Prep Bowl in November.

Future looks bright for Farmington athletic teams District prepares for move to South Suburban by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Farmington High School’s athletic teams will change conferences in a few months. While they prepare to take on the South Suburban, the Tigers also are hoping for a few more achievements in the Missota Conference. They already showed in 2013 they’re ready for the change. Following a some highlights:

The big move For the last few decades, Farmington High School has belonged to the Missota and Tri-Metro Conferences, with its teams occasionally – but not regularly – competing against the metro area’s big suburban high school. By the summer of 2014, that will change as Farmington joins the South Suburban Conference. The school announced in early 2013 that it was moving to the South Suburban, joining seven other high schools in Dakota County and two in Scott County. The move was not unexpected. The Missota Conference will dissolve at the end of the 2012-13 school year and all of its members have found other conferences, either on their own or through placement by the Minnesota State High School League. Farmington applied to and was accepted by the South Suburban. It will join another current Mis-

school: Rob Carpentier, who had been a teacher and girls soccer coach, now is AD at Park Center High School in Brooklyn Park. Tracie Randall, who had been an assistant girls soccer coach for the Tigers, took over as head coach and led the team to the Section 1AA championship game before losing to Lakeville North.

Back to back Softball might be one sport where Farmington can expect to be competitive immediately in the South Suburban Conference. The Tigers won their second consecutive Class 3A, Section 1 championship in May. The Tigers lost both of their state tournament games to finish 19-7.

Notebook: AV wrestlers win Christmas tourney Farmington’s LeDuc takes second place in his weight class by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Apple Valley, ranked first in Class 3A wrestling and as high as fourth nationally, had three individual champions and won the team title at the Minnesota Christmas Tournament on Dec. 20-21 in Rochester. Farmington, wrestling in the event for the first time, finished 15th of 33 teams. Apple Valley’s Seth Gross pinned Luke Rowh of Hastings in 1 minute, 10 seconds in the championship match at 138 pounds. Dayton Racer beat Simley’s Mack Short 6-4 in overtime in the 152-pound final. Mark Hall won the 170-pound title, beating Luke Norland of Jackson

County Central 11-2. Kyle Rathman (106), Gannon Volk (126), Bobby Steveson (182) and Paul Cheney (220) were runners-up in their weight classes. Cheney lost 4-2 to Prior Lake’s Alex Hart in a rematch of an early December bout won by Cheney. Cheney and Hart are ranked first and second at 220 in Class 3A, and their only losses are to each other. Apple Valley scored 292.5 points to run away with the team title. West Fargo (N.D.) was second with 179, with Prior Lake third at 169. Farmington’s top finisher was Jamin LeDuc, who finished second at 106. His loss in the championship match is his only defeat of the season after starting with 10 consecutive victories. The Tigers’ Matt Rustad finished fifth at 132. Taylor Venz, a state champion at 106 last season,

placed sixth at 126 in the Christmas Tournament. While Apple Valley is a regular participant in the Minnesota Christmas Tournament, Farmington coach Chad Olson said the Tigers have sought an invitation for years and finally got the call this season. Both schools will compete in the Rumble on the Red tournament in Fargo, N.D., Friday and Saturday, as will South Suburban Conference schools Rosemount, Burnsville, Eagan and Lakeville North/

Lightning moving up? Eastview is not ranked in the top 12 in Class 3A wrestling – yet. That might change after the Lightning defeated a couple of ranked teams last week. The Lightning edged No. 7 Shakopee 37-36 on Dec. 19, then beat Lakeville North 35-33 in its final match at the Richfield Du-

als on Dec. 21. Eastview, 11-2 overall, went 3-0 at the Richfield tournament. Luke Dodd (170 pounds) had five victories on the week to improve his record to 10-1. Nick Pegelow remained undefeated (11-0) at 195 after winning four matches. George Farmah, ranked sixth in Class 3A at 132 pounds, had a victory over Lakeville North’s Colin DeGrammont, who is No. 6 at 126.

Still No. 1 Eastview held the No. 1 ranking in Class 4A girls basketball into the holiday break after beating fourthranked Lakeville North 57-38 on Dec. 20. The Lightning is 6-0 despite having played only one home game. Eastview’s next six games are on the road; the Lightning won’t play again on its home court until Jan. 16 against Bloomington Kennedy. The schedule balanc-

es out in the second half of the season, when the Lightning plays eight of its final 10 regular-season games at home. Eastview outscored North 35-20 in the second half of last week’s South Suburban Conference game. Kari Opatz had 14 points and Madison Guebert 12 to lead Eastview. Sarah Krynski scored 15 for Lakeville North. Eastview and Lakeville North will play in a holiday tournament at St. Olaf College starting Friday, although the South Suburban Conference rivals are not scheduled to play each other.

Finding a safe home Burnsville resident leads Shih Tzu rescue group that saved puppy mill dogs by Natalie Conrad SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Imagine being trapped a situation with no space to call your own. This was the experience of 15 Shih Tzu dogs until a nonprofit pet rescue led by a Burnsville resident stepped in to transform their lives by providing safe homes. “We believe every dog should have a second chance and should be treated as a living creature with respect, dignity and compassion,� said Debbie Iverson, Shih Tzu Rescue’s president. “While our volunteers are located in Minnesota, we rescue Shih Tzus from other states as well. As long as we have available foster homes and the funding to do so, we will rescue and care for any Shih Tzu in need.� Eden Prairie-based group Shih Tzu Rescue of Minnesota received a $4,500 grant from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to provide veterinary care for 20 dogs seized from a North Dakota puppy mill in July. Shih Tzu Rescue originally took in 15 dogs from the puppy mill seizure, and one dog gave birth to five puppies shortly after intake. The grant helped cover the cost of vaccinations, medication, spay and neutering surgeries, and microchips. The group has already found homes for nearly all the dogs after they received the necessary medical and behavioral attention. The organization that started at the hands of a group of Shih Tzu lovers became an official 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in 2007. Shih Tzu Rescue is an all-volunteer organization with a mission to rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home Shih Tzus and Shih Tzu mixes in need of loving homes. All donations are tax deductible, and 100 percent of donations go toward the care and comfort of rescued dogs. While this is the first time the organization has received a grant from ASPCA, this is not the first time it has rescued dogs from a puppy mill, according to Kathy Diamond, Shih Tzu Rescue board member and treasurer. The 15 dogs seized from the puppy mill in North Dakota were among 174 dogs seized. According to Diamond, the dogs were confined inside a metal outbuilding in small, stacked crates. There was no ventilation or air conditioning. The dogs were housed five to a crate, and the crates were so small that the dogs had to lie down on top of each other. “People say dogs live in the moment, but they have memories,� Diamond said. “The damaging effects of living in a puppy mill are hard to forget.� A key part of rescue is rehabilitation, especially in cases such as these, Diamond said. All dogs rescued by Shih Tzu Rescue go through a thorough adoption process ensuring a safe home and good fit. Dogs stay in a foster home for at least three weeks as volunteers observe their behavior and offer rehabilitation. Adoptive families must fill out an application and provide references, and agree to a home visit both prior to and after the adoption. Throughout the process, Shih Tzu Rescue

(Photo submitted) volunteers and a trainer are available to help. The process may be intense, but the rewards are plentiful and well worth it, according to Iverson. “Mill dogs spend years in a cage,� Iverson said. “We watched them go from shaky, shy dogs to very playful companions.� The organization has grown over the years, and now includes 60 members and 20 foster homes. But why Shih Tzus? “They have a more human-like temperament than other breeds,� Iverson said. “They’re very much a companion breed and want to be with you all the time. They’re very loyal to the family and playful.� Shih Tzus are also non-allergenic, making them a good fit for a family pet. Many of the Shih Tzu Rescue foster parents have their own dogs and choose to take more in. “Shih Tzus are like potato chips, you can’t just have one,� Iverson said. Shih Tzu Rescue members unite to celebrate their love of the breed each summer at the Rescue Reunion at Round Lake Park in Eden Prairie. The organization also hosts a meet and greet from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. the last Saturday of each month at the Minnetonka Petco, 13691 Ridgedale Drive. For more information, visit shihtzurescuemn.org. In 2011, the ASPCA launched a national “No Pet Store Puppies� campaign, which seeks to raise awareness about the connection between puppy mills and pet stores and end the demand for puppy mill dogs. For more information about puppy mills and how to fight animal cruelty, visit nopetstorepuppies.com.

Girls heading to Florida in February

The girls compete in non-tumbling division, meaning they’re not allowed to do flips during the routine, except when they are included in stunts. It’s the first time Farmington has qualified for the National High School Cheerleading Championship, which “is the most prestigious school cheerleading competition in the United States,� Kroshus said. The team will be one of 500 from around the country competing for a national title on Feb. 8-9 at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla. Until then, the girls will focus on refining their routine and perform at competitions on Jan. 4 in Minnetonka and Jan. 11 at Edina, and then they will compete at state Feb. 1. The girls will also perform at the Farmington Expo on Jan. 25 and participate in a routine critique with some of the top judges in the industry on Jan. 5. The team members include Ali Rydberg, Alyssa Gemichu, Brianna Leondard, Crystal Vik, Eunice Adjei, Hannah Adams, Mackenzie Burns, Tianna Price and Tori Crenshaw, who are also coached by Greg Kroshus. The varsity has placed in the top four at multiple competitions this season, including second in Des Moines and second at the Apple Valley Beach Bash. Last year they won a state title and both National and National Grand Champion title from the WOW Factor Sports National Competition. This is the second year for the Farmington Competition Cheer Team program, which was taken over by community education in 2012. There are also middle school, elementary and Pee Wee teams.

by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Farmington varsity competition cheer team’s spinning, flipping and tossing abilities qualified the team for the national championships this season for the first time. Based on its performance at the Universal Cheerleaders Associations Hawkeye Championships in Iowa earlier this month, the cheer team is one of the best in the Midwest. The girls finished second in the small varsity non-tumbling division with a score of 77.5, earning them a trip to the National High School Cheerleading championships. The girls nailed a 2 1/2 minute routine that included elite partner stunts, pyramids, tosses, jumps, dance and a cheer. “The team has really increased their difficulty in the past couple of months,� coach Jen Kroshus said. “They also added flipping skills into their sequences, including one that involves the top girls getting caught in a prone position and rolling out towards the ground. Our toss involves our girls tossing another girl almost 20 feet into the air. Our cheer is one of the best in the area.� The team focuses on getting the crowd involved with the use of signs and megaphones. “The dance is probably the favorite part of the routine for the team,� Kroshus said. “They are big fans of Beyonce and requested to dance to ‘Single Ladies’ this year. We’ve includAndy Rogers ed some of her signature moves into Email andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com. our dance.�

One in three. That’s how many adults over 65 fall each year in the United States. Because older bones break more easily, falling injuries for seniors can be traumatic. Staying active and strong is key — along with making home environments as safe as possible. For more info on senior fitness and home safety, visit orthoinfo.org and nata.org.

Rock band Cedar has scored some major coups since the 2009 release of its debut album “Someday Soon.� They’ve opened for Hanson (of “MMMBop� fame), were featured on a Cities 97 sampler CD, and saw two of their songs aired on primetime TV – on ABC’s “Rookie Blue� and “Cougar Town.� “That was a pretty weird situation,� drummer Shawn Burtis said of the band’s song “Someday Soon� appearing as background music on the Courtney Cox sitcom “Cougar Town.� “I’ve been told that (Cedar frontman Jesse Mathews’s) aunt is a hair stylist for Courtney Cox or something. Our tape was passed around at the studio – it was kind of passed around the makeup room and made its way into the hands of the right people.� The band with roots in the Apple ValleyEagan area – three members are Eastview High School graduates – is set to release its new album, “Human/ Nature,� next month, with a CD release show set Jan. 11 at the Amsterdam Bar in St. Paul.

changes. Mathews’ wife and Cedar’s keyboardist, Derrin, left the group about a year ago after the birth of the couple’s first child. Joining original members Burtis, Mathews and bassist Kyle Wachter are two new additions – guitarist Justin Lansdowne and keyboardist Nathanael Raway. “We really didn’t know what the band would do after the last disc came out,� said Burtis. “It sounds kind of cliche and corny, but we all just like hanging out with each other.

Backyard Bunch classes begin in January rector Amy Kamarainen, who previously operated the Young Actors Theater Company in Eagan, said the new children’s theater group will have three or four instructors (in addition to her), with a maximum class ratio of 10 students for every one instructor. Classes will be offered evenings and weekends, with a summer camp schedule in the works. “It is a great new opportunity for the Rosemount area – one that is greatly needed for the south metro,� Kamara-
