CDA purchases land for new senior building in Rosemount North portion of former Genz Ryan site to be consolidated with Cambrian Avenue home purchases

by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Dakota County Community Development Agency has purchased three homes on the east side of Cambrian Avenue in Rosemount with the aim to consolidate it 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 90unit senior building with an attached 5,000-square-

foot senior center north of downtown. “They complement each other,� Community Development Director Kim Lindquist said on Tuesday.

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.

Both projects are expected to have construction start in spring 2014.

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. See LAND, 9A

Hillview Park master plan approved in Farmington New 3-acre park to include sledding hill

by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Hillview Park area at 5970 183rd St. W. in the northwest area of Farmington, which has been undeveloped for more than 20 years, is getting some attention.

The Farmington City Council approved the master plan for a 3-acre park that will include a sledding hill, paved path and potential playground equipment at Monday’s meeting.

The plan includes clearing the brush and scrubs to create a sledding hill, as well as a paved loop that connects to the trail at 183rd Street and loops throughout the park. The sledding hill probably won’t be ready until next winter.

There’s also a plan to remove box-elder and cottonwood trees and plant more favorable shade and ornamental trees.

The plan was revised after a public meeting with area property owners last summer. The city moved the proposed playground to the west side of the park and moved the paved trail farther south, away from the houses to the north.

The total cost for the park updates comes in at $112,250 with $70,000 for new play area equipment and surfacing and

The next park project for the city is to put a sledding hill and playground at Hillview Park near 183rd Street in the northwest area of Farmington. (Photo by Andy Rogers) $19,000 for the paved trail.

The parks department has been busy in recent years updating its green areas.

The Farmington Parks and Recreation Committee cut the ribbon for renovations for Pine Knoll Park, 203rd Street, on

Wednesday. The park received $120,000 in improvements which included new playground equipment. There’s a unit for smaller children ages 2 to 5 and one for older kids ages 6 to 12. The park also received a new half court basketball court and a shelter.

New pool?

The Farmington Outdoor Pool was built in 1970 and opened in 1971. It served a much smaller population. The pool’s current condition is less than ideal, so the city hopes to do something within the next five years.

The department plans to “take a comprehensive look at our aquatic pool and current condition and what needs to be done to renovate the pool and bring it up to code,� Parks and Recreation Director Randy Distad said. “A recommendation will be to refurbish the pool or look at a possible new pool and location. Also, it would look at a splash pad.�

The money for the study comes from the 2013 Outdoor Pool’s Expenditure Budget.

The council also approved an updated fee schedule for the pool for 2014 which eliminated season passes.

Afternoon open swim cost is moved up to $5 because of extended hours going from 12to-4 p.m. Evening swim cost is decreasing to $2.50, as it’s half as long as the afternoon going from 6-8 p.m. Punch cards are also available: a 10-punch card for $45; a 20-punch card for $80; and a 50-punch card for $187.50, which is designed to replace the season pass.

The City Council also approved an aquatic feasibility study to be performed by USAquatics, which was by far the cheapest proposal, coming in at Email Andy Rogers $7,500 plus $750 for expenses. andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Local nonprofit reaches out across the globe Hands of Freedom seeks to empower India’s women SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Hands of Freedom’s goal is to give India’s poorest women and children the tools to pull themselves out of poverty.

The Apple Valley-based nonprofit raises funds locally to have freshwater wells installed, train women in various trades, and offer low-interest loans that allow women to fund business activities.

Founded in 2008, the Christian-based organization now serves about 20,000 people, and is establishing a network of

churches in India to help administer its programs.

Since its founding, the nonprofit has seen the installation of more than 20 wells providing water to about 6,000 people. “The wells kind of create the foundation for women to have time to work,� said Brian Numainville, Hands of Freedom board chair.

Hands of Freedom also creates “savings groups,� clusters of women who pool their savings, with the money made available for small loans.

The nonprofit holds a fundraiser each year to help pay for its activities in

India. This year’s Hands & Hope for India Gathering, held in partnership with Hope International, is Nov. 8 at the Radisson Blu in Bloomington.

The evening will include dinner and entertainment by contemporary Christian musician Sara Groves, as well as a presentation on the progress the nonprofit is making in India. Tickets are $60 and are available at www.hopeinternational. org/MNevent.

A new business in Apple Valley caters to those with a sweet tooth.

Petite Baked Cupcakes, which opened in September in the Shops on Galaxie commercial complex, is the first business venture for Burnsville resident Elham Mahmoud, who does all of the baking.

The shop – housed inside the home decor and furniture boutique Occasionally Yours – offers a variety of cupcakes including salted caramel, apple spice and Oreo mud, in addition to coffee

and other refreshments.

As Mahmoud was finalizing her menu over the summer in preparation for the business’s fall launch, she didn’t have to search far for taste-testers.

Her husband, Raed, and their four children were happy to give feedback on her cupcake experiments. “I think my kids and husband have stomachaches from all the sugar,�

Mahmoud said with a laugh.

Mahmoud, a Kuwait native who came to the United States in the early 1990s, previously worked as a substitute teacher, and her husband has owned an IHOP restau-

rant in Bloomington for about a decade.

With help from her daughter Rula, a freshman at the University of Minnesota, Mahmoud does the baking for her cupcake business off site, in kitchen space she rents at Faith Covenant Church in Burnsville.

Petite Baked Cupcakes is hosting a grand opening event Saturday, Nov. 2, with free coffee and prize drawings.

DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE October 24, 2013

Neck tattoo helps authorities identify fraudulent credit card users A Farmington man was charged with felony financial transaction card fraud after officers used surveillance video to identify his car, and his partner by his neck tattoo.

Michael Lee Daly, 33, was charged in Dakota County District Court last week for allegedly using a number of stolen credit cards at retail locations in Dakota County in May. The Burnsville Police Department was notified of several fraudulent finical card transactions from credit cards stolen from purses of parked cars in Bloomington and Burnsville in May. More than $2,300 was spent at several retail locations within three hours.

The surveillance video and eyewitnesses revealed that two individuals got into a Chevrolet Cobalt registered to Daly, and the photo was used to identify him at the other locations where the transactions

were made.

The officers also saw a “Cancer� symbol tattooed on the back of a second man’s neck. The Dakota County Jail keeps photos and descriptions of tattoos of inmates.

The man was identified as former Farmington resident Kurtis Ray Cornelius, 25, who was charged for four unrelated felonies four days later after leading police on a chase through Eagan, ditched his car at a park, and asked attendees of a youth soccer game for a ride.

He was charged with receiving stolen property, theft, fleeing a police officer, and possessing burglary or theft tools.

Cornelius was also charged for two felonies and a misdemeanor after officers found him sleeping with his car running at an intersection in Apple Valley and discovered 4.79 grams of methamphetamine and stolen property,

according to the police report. He’s been convicted of burglary in 2010 and 2013, and possessing a controlled substance in 2013.

Daly faces a maximum penalty six years in jail and/or a $20,000 fine.

Daly was charged earlier this month for fifthdegree possession of a controlled substance.

When the Lakeville Police Department went to his residence with a warrant, officers searched his pocket and found a glass pipe with trace amounts of methamphetamine, according to the police report. In plain view on the dresser, officers found bag containing .25 grams of meth.

Daly is facing two theft and fifth-degree possession charges, both felonies, in August, for attempting to steal $1,475 in copper wire from a store.

Fore! Gone Lakeville featured in book on lost golf courses

by Emily Bialkowski and Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Many people still talk about Antlers Amusement Park on the shores of Lake Marion that was abuzz with activity after Marion W. Savage and partners built it in 1910.

The Great Depression, low lake levels and other factors led to the amusement park fading into memory along with its 18-hole Antlers Park Golf Links that White Bear Lake resident Joe Bissen conjures up in his book “Fore! Gone.

Minnesota’s Lost Golf Courses, 1897 to 1999.�

Bissen, who recently completed a successful Joe Bissen Kickstarter.com campaign to publish the book, examines extinct courses across the state with historical information and first-hand recollections of the deceased links.

Finding information about the Antlers Park Golf Links was a challenge; Bissen said he found two Lakeville residents who remembered the course that closed in the late 1930s along with the amusement park that was owned by George O’Rourke.

Lakeville resident George Warweg, whose uncle owned the amusement park, still lives on the grounds, and Bissen said Warweg was most engaging in talking about the place. “A good share of the reconstruction of the golf course and amusement park was aided by conversations and a visit with him,� Bissen said.

Bissen also spoke to Betty Weichselbaum, whose grandparents emigrated to America from Germany in 1856 and made 160 acres along Lake Marion home, starting up the Weichselbaum Resort that boomed during the 1900s. “She did not remember the course in detail but did speak favorably about it,� he said.

Weichselbaum retired in 1983 after teaching for 39 years, including 26 in

Lakeville. “Antlers Amusement Park was such a prominent and fascinating place,� Bissen said.

He said there were plans possibly in place during its latter years to expand the course on the western shore to 27 holes. “Judging only by the topography and the two or three photos I’ve seen, it likely was a most respectable golf course,� Bissen said.

He said the course, from all indications, closed for the same reasons many of the lost courses he wrote about closed. “The Great Depression took a significant toll on many Minnesota golf courses, and many of those that were able to struggle through the Depression were then done in by the domestic effects of World War II,� he said.

Bissen, who works as a sports copy editor for the St. Paul Pioneer Press, began working on the book in July 2012 and completed writing in May. “I wrote a story for Minnesota Golfer Magazine on lost golf courses in the Twin Cities area. There were five to 10 of them and, as I did the research, I just really got hooked on the subject,� Bissen said. “The idea simmered around in my brain for a couple years about doing more research and maybe writing something. Then last July I took the leap and started researching hard.�

Bissen found that a large swath of lost golf courses exist in the southern part of the state – about 25 to 30 – though he had no hypothesis as to why.

The book is close to 300 pages and takes a look at 87 lost courses. “I heard of others but couldn’t confirm their existence. I have little doubt there are 120 or more,� he said.

October 24, 2013 DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Opinion Adjusting the dream of post-secondary education The ultimate goal for many generations has been a college education for every child.

With hard work, a scholarship here and a grant there, college was in reach for almost anyone willing to put in the hours.

Student loan debt was an issue for some, but loans were small and easily paid back once the student became employed.

Much is different today. A four-year college degree is out-of-reach for many middle class families who cannot produce $100,000 for a university degree. For others, they have obtained the degree but are strapped with debt beyond their means.

Still others will tell you there is no such things as a “four-year” degree – it takes five or more years to progress through the maze of college requirements while working 30 or 40 hours a week.

It is time to adjust the dream to fit reality in the 21st century. Part of this needed change is a cultural attitude adjustment – some will need policy change and perhaps legislation and additional funding.

The first attitude that needs to change is our prejudice against technical education. We continue to denigrate “trade schools” as places for the less intelligent and the under-achiever. Those stereotypes are just not true. Quality technical education will produce workers who can spend a lifetime in a high-paying career. Architectural technology and fluid power engineering, for example, have 100 percent placement with starting pay at $28.58 an hour.

Top-notch technical colleges are abundant in Minnesota. Private schools like Dunwoody College of Technology, and high-ranked public schools like Dakota County and Hennepin technical colleges, Alexandria Technical & Community Col-

ECM Editorial lege, and Minnesota West Community and Technical College provide numerous opportunities for students.

Business leaders and chambers of commerce will tell you about the “skills gap,” where jobs go vacant because qualified workers are not available. One such job, called computer numerical control operator, is often cited as a lucrative job without enough workers. CNC operators start about $17 an hour. Projected job openings this decade in the U.S. are 47,800, with a growth rate of 10-19 percent.

Another attitude adjustment is needed toward community colleges. Some in academia thumb their noses at community colleges, yet in many cases the quality of education is better (try 40-50 students in a beginning English class, compared to 300-400 in a university auditorium course), much cheaper and more accessible to many. In Minnesota, we have requirements within the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system where community college courses will be accepted at four-year schools – this should be universal.

We need a continued commitment to choice for our students. As a recent ECM Editorial Board editorial urged, “We strongly believe high school, college and state officials should continue to provide even more dual credit choices for students.”

Options for earning college credit include Post-Secondary Enrollment Options, online learning and credit for knowledge and experience. Many universities are experimenting with Massive Open Online Courses – these should be-

come part of the post-secondary education repertoire.

Online degrees are earning respect within the education field. Once considered throwaway diplomas, online-only schools like the University of Phoenix are being joined by Florida Tech University, University of Missouri and Texas A&M offering online degrees. Even the prestigious University of St. Thomas in St. Paul is now offering its mini MBA in an online option. Minnesota State-Mankato also offers online bachelor’s completion, graduate certificates and master’s degrees.

Online education offers flexibility to working students and saves transportation and lodging for others, one more option for students.

It may take lawmakers to force a few other issues: For example, Congress needs to continue commitment to the Pell Grant program, which provides up to $5,550 per student annually who can show financial need.

The Congressional Budget Office is targeting the Pell program for cuts, because overall costs have risen in recent years. A CBO report suggests tightening application standards and decreasing the grant amount. Critics argue cutting Pell will hurt low-income students, and ultimately the nation. The federal government needs to commit to funding Pell Grants as another way to make educational opportunities available to all income levels or the gap between the “haves” and the “have nots” will only get wider.

Minnesota legislators deserve a “thank you” from college students for leveraging additional funding for a promise that the state’s colleges and universities will freeze tuition for three years.

We need to follow through, too, and be smart consumers of post-secondary education. We should send our children to institutions that rank high on the “quality for less” surveys. Consider New Mexico Institute of Mining, $15,754 a year tuition, but a net cost of $8,600 to students with financial need. The University of Richmond, Virginia, estimates financial needs students will pay about $10,000 a year. The University of North Carolina, Asheville, says net price for out-of-state students with financial aid is about $8,800.

Competition for high school graduates is good for all – technical schools are bringing extended career options and challenging universities to be cognizant of overall costs and to not feel entitled to constant tuition price hikes. Technology is expanding online learning opportunities.

While we continue to believe that postsecondary education is vital to most high school graduates, we encourage those students to explore the many options available and demand a high return on every education dollar.

Our universities need to put the student first in every equation. Our state and national lawmakers must continue to prioritize higher education and pursue ways to make post-secondary education available to everyone.

And finally we must adjust our cultural expectations – college is not the only option for the high school graduate, but one of many in preparing for a lifelong, rewarding career.

Letters Editor’s note Sun Thisweek and the Dakota County Tribune will consider letters to the editor for publication in the Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 editions that are not related to the election or those that respond directly to information in a previous election-related letter. Submission of a letter does not guarantee publication.

Sometimes we have to do without To the editor: It seems we have become a culture of “myopic visionaries,” with the singular focus of: “I’ve got mine, I don’t care if you have yours.”

I lost my job, at age 59, after 26 years of service, and I struggle every month just to survive and “get by.” I have no TV, no computer, no Internet, no cellphone, no medical insurance, etc. I’m a single person in my 60s, with no kids.

I don’t want to pay more of any tax. We already pay too much tax in Minnesota, when not enough is done to curb wasteful spending, or simply “learn to live without” (nonessentials) as I’ve had to do.

large role in shaping that future. Students, residents, and property owners are fortunate to be in District 196, one of the state’s most desirable districts.

This year, new legislative majorities accomplished a lot for K-12 education: funding for all-day kindergarten and early childhood scholarships, important new reforms, and an increase in general funding. However, one good year doesn’t make up for more than a decade of underfunding, cuts, and shifts.

District 196 is facing a $30 million shortfall over the next two years and is asking for a levy increase to cover that deficit.

If the levy is approved, it would result in a $56 net school property tax increase from 2013 to 2014 for the district’s average value home. Another of the Legislature’s accomplishments — Equalization Aid — is the driving force in limiting the increase to $56, just $4.66 a month. This increase would, for many, be offset by the Legislature restoring direct property tax relief. The expanded Homestead Credit Refund will give Dakota County homeowners an average refund increase of $237.

Without this levy, District 196 would step back significantly with increased class sizes, cuts to great programs like Gifted and Talented, elimination of fifth-grade band and ninth-grade B-team sports, and increased high school sports fees. That would be for 2014-2015.

Another $20 million in cuts would be needed the following year.

We’ve met with District

196 officials, and we know that they very carefully considered if this levy was absolutely necessary. The board and administration have been good fiscal stewards. They made difficult cuts and froze salaries before going to voters.

Great communities have great schools. Great communities step up and support their schools because they understand the importance of education.

District 196 has made a positive impact on the lives of so many kids and helped them earn a bright future.

Our community has shown great support for District 196, and it’s time to do so again. We’ll be voting yes and hope our community will join us.

and have seen others almost hit because of these drivers. If this was a children’s school bus, this would be a severe crime.

It’s only a matter of time before someone is hit. The danger will only increase as it continues to get darker earlier. The mindset that this is acceptable must be eliminated.

I have no proposed solution other than possible routine police patrols or some sort of “stop” sign that swings out from the buses like on school buses – realize the lunacy that adults need a crossing guard to protect against other adult drivers. This issue needs attention.

What else is Niedermayr lying about?

No one read Obamacare as Speaker of the House Nancy Pelsoi said we have to pass Obamacare to see what is in the bill.

I’m glad we have Kline rejecting this bad bill that nobody read before it was passed.

Camp Invention inspired students To the editor: I would like to thank School District 196 for hosting the Camp Invention program this summer. Camp Invention allows children to transform their natural curiosity into big ideas by presenting real-world challenges that require them to use creativity, innovation, problemsolving skills, and teamwork.

This summer, 250 local elementary students at Highland Elementary School, Red Pine Elementary School and Thomas Lake Elementary School joined over 77,000 students nationwide in exploring STEM concepts through exciting, hands-on problemsolving activities.

I especially want to thank the Camp Invention directors Jodi Hansen, Mark Amundson and Trisha Miller, the talented local teachers and youth staff for inspiring the Eagan students, who displayed amazing creativity and resourcefulness throughout the week.

Keep the trails natural To the editor: As an avid trail runner I am strongly opposed to the current plan to modify trails at Lebanon Hills Regional Park. The plan calls for creating wide paved paths with a maximum slope of 5 percent by chopping off the tops of hills and filling in the low places and removing trees and shrubs along the wide path. Such destruction of the terrain destroys the natural beauty and challenge of running and walking narrow steep footpaths surrounded by vegetation, complete with rocks and roots. I enjoy running races on such primitive terrain throughout the United States and would hate to see some of our local treasure being destroyed.

ALLAN HOLTZ Oakdale

Lebanon trails are fun to run To the editor: I am a trail runner. I come to Lebanon Hills Regional Park to run the beautiful unpaved gravel and dirt trails most weekends, and so do many of my friends. On almost any Saturday morning, you can find groups running, hiking, dog-walking and – in the winter – snowshoeing the trails. Lebanon Hills Regional Park’s unpaved trails are a metro-area gem. If it were not for these trails, I probably would not have been able to train for and complete my first two ultramarathons this year (50-kilometer/31-mile trail races). And I would not have found a group of likeminded trail runners who I count among my good friends.

I am writing to encourage the Dakota County commissioners to please not pave the beautiful trails – they are a joy to hike, run, and snowshoe just the way they are.

Klobuchar expects Congress will avoid shutdown next time She pushing for passage of a farm bill

by Howard Lestrud SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Minnesota’s senior senator, Amy Klobuchar, expressed confidence after the government shutdown ended last week, saying there will not be another shutdown when the continuing resolution ends Jan. 15, 2014.

Klobuchar returned to Minnesota from Washington, D.C., Thursday night following a bipartisan agreement to fund the government and avoid default. She has been credited as one of the key members of Congress who negotiated a deal to end the 16-day shutdown.

On Friday morning, the Democrat was promoting a farm bill by making an appearance in Golden Valley. She recently was named a Senate conferee working toward passage of a farm bill. “Some say we have kicked the can down the road and while an agreement is important, it’s nothing you can celebrate and dance on the table about,� Klobuchar told the ECM Editorial Board on Friday.

She said it is a spirit of bipartisanship that led Congress to a solution to end the shutdown.

Asked why she feels confident another shutdown will not happen, Klobuchar said she “is just listening to what (Senate Minority Leader) Mitch McConnell has said and looking at what a lot of other Republicans have been saying.�

She said she was also looking at the impact of what happened and what it would mean to the Republican Party if it happened again.

Klobuchar said a re-

sponsibility also lies with the Democrats to get something passed or see the next round of cuts going into place.

In addition to budgetary actions, Klobuchar said Congress must pass a farm bill, an immigration bill and a transportation bill. The U.S. Senate has already passed these bills.

Klobuchar said “a lot more work� needs to be done by Congress. “My hope is that our policies will be helping and not hurting,� she said.

She admitted that the shutdown was frustrating to her and to many others.

A mini-agreement to end the shutdown resulted from bipartisan action in the House and the Senate, said Klobuchar.

She saluted Republicans Sen. John McCain, of Arizona; Sen. Mark Kirk, of Illinois; Sen. Mike Johanns, of Nebraska; Sen. Lisa Murkowski, of Alaska; and Sen. Susan Collins, of Maine, for being key players in working out a deal.

Klobuchar pointed to Tea Party resistance as being a factor that made it difficult for Congress to compromise and to find common ground. She said moderate Republicans made compromise happen.

The shutdown cost the country billions of dollars in lost economic gain, Klobuchar said.

Just hours after Congress passed and President Barack Obama signed legislation ending a government shutdown and increasing the statutory debt ceiling, Congress’ two budget chairs, Sen. Patty Murray, a Democrat, and Rep. Paul Ryan, a Republican, pledged they would try to find areas of agreement on longer-term fiscal challenges.

The dynamics are now different after the settlement, Klobuchar claimed.

She said she believes there will be more rational behavior in Washington. “It was ugly and chaos,�

Klobuchar said in describing conditions in Congress during the shutdown.

Klobuchar was part of a movement by female senators to solve the government shutdown and debt limit issues. “We had a few good men, too,� she said.

In assessing her role of reaching across the aisle, Klobuchar said two-thirds of her bills in the Senate since she was elected in 2006 have been authored with Republicans.

Klobuchar is a part of a group of female lawmakers who try to get together monthly. She recently invited the women to her house for a Minnesota potluck dinner. “We have developed true friendships,� Klobuchar said.

Klobuchar also talked about other issues, including the Affordable Care Act, the farm bill and the immigration bill.

She said Minnesota is in far better shape rolling out its health exchange program, known as MNsure, than other states.

She admitted there are significant problems with the health exchange websites. “My take is they had better fix it soon,� Klobuchar said.

Adoption of a farm bill like what was crafted in the U.S. Senate will result in a debt reduction of $24 billion, Klobuchar said.

Klobuchar said she believes the Senate passed “a very good bill� on immigration reform. She said the bill would save $160 billion in debt reduction in 10 years and $700 billion in debt reduction in 20 years.

Kline votes for compromise bill

by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Washington to face.�

U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, RStillwater, was the only Minnesotan to vote no on the compromise plan along with 143 other House Republicans.

Eighty-seven House Republicans voted for it.

Democrat U.S. Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken voted for the measure.

Eagan resident Mike Obermueller, a candidate for the Democratic endorsement in the 2nd District, said in a statement that Kline orchestrated the shutdown. “He’s part of the so-called Republican leadership team who for the past 16 days has consistently rejected efforts to get it back up and running,� said Obermueller, who lost to Kline in the 2012 election by eight percentage points. “Seniors and military families that have been adversely affected by this reckless behavior and needless uncertainty, and had it not been for the House Republicans, this could have been resolved weeks ago,� Obermueller said.

Bachmann told Devin Henry of MinnPost “this was a fight worth having.� “Ultimately (this fight is) about what type of government we want to have,� she said. “The president is insisting that he be the only decision-maker when it comes to something as crucial as the budget. What we’re saying is that’s not the way our government works.�

The House voted 285-144 to approve bill, which funds the government until Jan. 15 and raises the debt ceiling until Feb. 7. The Senate voted 81-18.

U.S. Rep. John Kline, R-Burnsville, was among the about one-third of Republicans who voted to approve legislation late Wednesday night, Oct. 16, to reopen the federal government and raise the debt ceiling.

Kline, along with U.S. Rep. Erik Paulsen, R-Eden Prairie, voted for the compromise that tasks a joint HouseSenate committee with developing a budget deal before mid-December. “Today, members of Congress were asked to make a difficult decision,�

Kline said in a statement released Oct. 17. “Ultimately, I was not willing to put the full faith and credit of the United States at risk. Congress and the White House must put country first. The result was imperfect, but it was a temporary solution I believed was in the best interest of Americans.�

Republicans sought changes to the Affordable Care Act before agreeing to raise the debt ceiling, but no alterations were made to the federal health care law through the Oct. 16 action.

Kline says he will continue to press for changes in the so-called Obamacare law. “Moving forward, we must address runaway spending, the debt and failed policies like Obamacare that are barriers to our economic recovery and threaten the future of our children and grandchildren,� Kline said in the statement. “Our record-high debt is as much the result of failed leadership as it is failed policies that grew government instead of our economy.

It took almost a year to complete the research and writing phase of production, and now Bissen is faced with printing and marketing. “It’s an enormous job, and you have to step out of your skin,� he said.

In addition to publishing the book, Bissen is setting up an interactive Google site at www.ForeGoneGolf.com that maps out the location of lost courses.

An avid golfer himself, Bissen won the Ma Cal Grove Country Club championship in 1980 and played the sport for Winona State. He’s been writing about golf for 35 years and has three grown children. “I like it, and I like what I do,� Bissen said.

lumbia Heights, Gem Lake/White Bear Lake, Mendota Heights, Minneapolis, North St. Paul, Richfield, St. Louis Park, St. Paul and Stillwater.

When possible, the book explores what the former courses have become.

One turned into an airport runway, another into part of a state forest, and dozens have become residential settlements.

In recent years, golf courses in Rosemount (Brockway), Eagan (Carriage Hills) and Burnsville (Orchard Gardens) have made way for housing developments.

These are not included in the book, along with another one, Parkview Golf Course in Eagan, which was recently sold and will be the site of a residential neighborhood.

I always see problems through to conclusion.

Experience with capital projects: I have past experience in construction, from initial footings on the ground up through real estate dealings — sold real estate. I am able to achieve the best value for projects with the highest level of quality and satisfaction of all. I have good relations with labor groups. I am pro-labor.

Knowledge of diversity: We have hosted many Rotarians from many countries, and also hosted a girl from Columbia for her senior year at Eastview. We got to know a lot about many cultures.

1) Why should voters elect you?

If elected, I will be the voice of what most of District 196 constituents are — regular working people. My door will always be open for suggestions and input, and I will also try to make an already good district great. I also have the support of labor, which is why America has thrived.

Thank you and I would appreciate your vote.

2) What are the biggest challenges facing District 196 and how do you plan to address those issues?

The biggest challenge is trying to make the district more financially accountable.

People in 196 are willing to pay for education, but want to know that their money is being used wisely. Also I would like to try to find a way to narrow the achievement gap. This is a problem in many districts.

Maybe we need to reach out and unite for a common cause. The students deserve this.

3.) A $30 million operating levy referendum will be on the ballot this November. Do you support the referendum? Why or why not?

I endorse it 100 percent. It is necessary at this time to enable the district to keep class sizes at a manageable level. I also never want to lose a district employee to budget issues, which is a possibility if the levy fails. There are also other cuts that would happen, but threats are not the way to pass a levy. Educate the public on why it is needed.

4) District 196 is expected to face deficits in the next few years regardless of the proposed levy. How will you address this predicted deficit and guide the district toward financial stability?

I think the budget has room for trimming of some needless items, plus I think that some items are overstated. For instance, $130,000 for copier leases next year.

I want to see why. Maybe it is necessary, but I want to see for myself. Also $2,500 for a training room clock? Really?

Mike Roseen Age: 62 Address: 879 Redwood Drive, Apple Valley Occupation: Retired Family: Wife Sharon, and two grown sons: Ryan and Brandon Mike Roseen Qualifications: I have lived in the district for 37 years. Both my boys graduated from Apple Valley High School. I have been on the board for 22 years. My experience and knowledge gives me great insight into the daily workings of the district.

1) Why should voters elect you?

I have the experience to continue to help lead the district. I have served on every committee at the district level. I have always been available to the citizens to discuss issues. I believe in public education and will continue my efforts to help make District 196 the best it can be.

2) What are the biggest challenges facing District 196 and how do you plan to address those issues?

The biggest challenge has to be the budget. It drives everything we do. We need to make sure we work within the budget and get the most for every dollar we spend. We

must make sure that the curriculum is current and challenging. The district needs to make sure that our schools are safe for the students and staff.

3) A $30 million operating levy referendum will be on the ballot this November. Do you support the referendum? Why or why not?

I support the levy. It’s very simple. We need the levy to continue the opportunities we have. Everything costs money. We as a district, must decide if the programs we offer are to continue. The citizens have supported the schools, and it is my hope they will continue to do so.

4) District 196 is expected to face deficits in the next few years regardless of the proposed levy. How will you address this predicted deficit and guide the district toward financial stability?

Future budgets for the district must always make sure that we are spending the money as efficiently as we can. That means we must always look for ways to keep the budget in balance. Every dollar becomes important and the board must do their duty to spend the taxpayers dollars wisely.

Gary Huusko Age: 56 Address: 718 Bridle Ridge Road, Eagan Occupation: Attorney Family: Wife, Laurie; daughter, Tara; son, Tyler Qualifications: I’ve Gary been a School Board mem- Huusko ber for two years and was on the district’s Budget Advisory Council from 2004 through 2011, and Strategic Planning Committee in 2011. I’m a member of the district’s Audit and Finance Committee and Legislative Committee.

I’ve been a parent volunteer throughout my children’s education.

1) Why should voters elect you?

I’d like the opportunity to continue to work with the board and administration to maintain the high achievement standards of District 196 students, ensure educational opportunities and advancement for all students, and provide positive future opportunities for all students, all within the constraints of a responsible budget.

2) What are the biggest challenges facing District 196 and how do you plan to address those issues?

Two of the biggest challenges facing the District are funding and the achievement gap. Funding continues to be a challenge due to under-funded mandates, inconsistent funding from the Legislature, and rising costs of providing a quality education for our students. I intend to continue to communicate with our legislators to impress upon them the need for more stable education funding and continue to work to provide the best education opportunities within our budget constraints. I will continue to support our administration, staff and teachers in developing programs for 196 students.

3) A $30 million operating levy referendum will be on the ballot this November. Do you support the referendum? Why or why not?

I do support the referendum. The district has made substantial budget adjustments in recent years. If the levy does not pass, the district will have to make additional adjustments of almost $30 million over the next two years. Those adjustments will result in larger class sizes across all grades, cutting programs, eliminating fifthgrade band and ninth-grade B-team sports, and increased participation fees. That will not only impact the quality of education our students receive, but it will also have a ripple effect throughout our communities, including affecting home values and making our communities a less desirable place to live or work.

4) District 196 is expected to face deficits in the next few years regardless of the proposed levy. How will you address this predicted deficit and guide the district toward financial stability?

I will continue to communicate and meet with our legislators to impress upon them the need for stable and adequate funding for education. I will also continue to work with the board, administration and staff to seek ways to maximize our use of district resources and I will work toward finding alternate funding sources to maintain programs or opportunities for our students that might otherwise be impacted by budget constraints.

a senior at the School of Environmental Studies Qualifications: I am a parent and taxpayer in the district who has served on the School Board for six years. I serve on several district, state and national education committees, including the Governor’s Education Finance Working Group, Native American Parent Advisory Committee, and Curriculum and Instruction Advisory Council. I also chair the school board’s Legislative Committee.

1) Why should voters elect you?

I have worked collaboratively with the community, administration, staff and my fellow board members to tackle a number of financial challenges over the past few years, including adjusting our budget by 10 percent over the past three years while keeping the cuts, as much as possible, out of the classroom. Our district has among the highest academic outcomes in the metro area while keeping administrative costs and property taxes comparatively low.

Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan is a destination district — new residents and businesses choose our district because of its high-quality schools and its well-educated workforce.

2) What are the biggest challenges facing District 196 and how do you plan to address those issues?

State funding, which makes up the majority of our district’s operating budget, has failed to keep pace with inflation for more than a decade. We continue to work with legislators to ensure adequate funding for our schools while working closely with our administration and employee groups to ensure that we keep the biggest share of every dollar in the classroom and that we stay focused on our primary goal: educating all of our students to their full potential. We also are working hard to pass an operating levy this fall that will help to mitigate future cuts.

Our racially predictable achievement gap. This vexing issue is not unique to our district. We have aggressively attacked the problem in every building and in every classroom, and we have started to see some progress. We need to continue this work by ensuring that our workforce looks like the community it serves and by building cultural competence across our district so that all children learn at a high level. It is important to raise the achievement of all students while closing the achievement gap.

3) A $30 million operating levy referendum will be on the ballot this November. Do you support the referendum? Why or why not?

Yes, I am a strong supporter of our levy

referendum.

The levy will allow us to avoid further cuts next year and mitigate the budget adjustments we expect to make in 2015. Our board and administration have been frugal and effective stewards of the taxpayers’ money. We have focused on teaching and learning, using data to inform our teaching and to ensure that all students are learning. We continue to educate some of the highest performing students in the nation while being mindful of the taxpayers’ ability to pay for our programs. We have been surgical in our adjustments to the district budget, so much so that a recent district resident survey told us that taxpayers are largely unaware that we have made adjustments totaling 10 percent of our operating budget over the past three years.

4) District 196 is expected to face deficits in the next few years regardless of the proposed levy. How will you address this predicted deficit and guide the district toward financial stability?

We have been as open and transparent as we can be with the public. We have asked the administration to draft a list of cuts that will occur if the referendum fails, not to scare residents, but to be as forthright as we can about the impacts if our revenue is not increased. We are asking for an additional $10 million of levy authority per year; if we went to the state cap, we would get an additional $16 million per year, but our community survey showed us that a levy that goes to the limit was unlikely to pass. So, while the need is greater, we compromised and settled on the $10 million amount that we thought our community would support. That means, even if the levy passes, we are likely to see additional budget adjustments in 2015 and beyond.

The board continues to work with administration to identify potential savings, such as: refinancing of bond issues when that makes financial sense; going to a selfinsured employee health plan that will save the district millions of dollars while providing employees the same high-quality coverage; energy savings across the district that are saving us hundreds of thousands of dollars annually; and bonding for the district’s Other Post Employment Benefits obligations, another financial move that didn’t garner a lot of attention but which is saving us millions of dollars. We will also continue to work collaboratively with our employees, students and parents, the business community and the board’s Budget Advisory Council to identify potential savings and to ensure that our taxpayers get the highest value for their levy dollar.

Irish, Tigers tackle True Team swimming Rosemount’s Garrity wins 500 freestyle at Class AA finals

by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Wayzata is the deepest, strongest team in Class AA girls swimming, as evidenced by the Trojans’ winning margin of almost 300 points at the state True Team finals Saturday night at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center.

The two Dakota County teams that qualified for the state meet, Rosemount and Farmington, finished eighth and 11th.

Wayzata started on its path to the championship by taking two of the top five places in the opening event, the 200-yard medley relay. The Trojans had the winning teams in the other two relays and won three individual events. They finished with 2,342 points. Stillwater, with 2,052.5, was the only other team above

2,000. Rosemount, the Section 3AA champion, had 1,382.5 and Section 1AA winner Farmington scored 822.

Prior Lake, the other South Suburban Conference team to reach the state finals besides Rosemount, finished 10th with 918.

Rosemount ninth-grader Katie Garrity finished first in the 500 freestyle, and her time of 5 minutes, 0.63 seconds was almost two seconds faster than the runner-up. Megan Wenman, a sophomore,

finished second and third in two events, and the two also swam on the Irish’s second-place 400 freestyle relay.

Wenman took second in the 200 freestyle in 1:53.11, seven-hundredths of a second behind the winner. She added a third place in the 100 freestyle in 52.69.

Garrity and Wenman teamed with Olivia Johnston and Grace Herron to finish second in the 400 freestyle relay in 3:35.53.

Burnsville (2-6) at Lakeville North (6-2) Lakeville North won a regularseason game between these teams 41-7 on Oct. 4. The second-seeded Panthers had nine days to recover emotionally from their 36-7 loss at Rosemount on Oct. 16 in a game that decided the South Suburban Conference title. What’s less clear is whether standout defensive lineman Greg Menard can recover physically in time for the playoffs after injuring an ankle in the Rosemount game.

At times Burnsville has shown it can play competitively against other South Suburban teams, but scoring points and staying healthy have been issues for the Blaze.

Burnsville closed the regular season with a 41-12 loss to Prior Lake last week, marking the seventh time in eight games the Blaze has been held to 17 points or fewer.

Will Reger has taken on a lot of responsibility as Burnsville’s quarterback as well as a full-time defensive player. Linebacker Brett Shepley is one of the Blaze’s top defensive players.

and quarterback. T.J. Sands also has had some carries. Ian Entzion has been the quarterback when the Wildcats want to throw, with Scott Danielson being one of his top targets. Linebackers Joe Kovach and Hogan Marshall have been among the Wildcats’ statistical leader on defense all season.

Park of Cottage Grove (3-5) at Eastview (4-4) After butting heads with rocksolid defenses from Rosemount, Lakeville North and Prior Lake during the regular season, one thing Eastview might find to its liking is a Park team that allows almost 35 points a game. The Lightning drubbed winless Bloomington Kennedy 35-0 last week, scoring all five of its touchdowns on the ground. If the Lightning has its way, it will want to keep it on the ground with running backs Will Rains and Tommy Hutsell – not only because that’s what the Lightning does best, but because it would sideline a Park offense that has the ability to score.

While Park is likely not a threat to go deep in the playoffs, its three victories in 2013 are more than the previous four seasons combined.

Expect the ball to be in the air a lot when Park is on offense; the Wolfpack puts it up more than 30 times a game and has five receivers with 19 catches or more. Park’s most dangerous offensive player is Elias Arlington, who has 50 receptions for 706 yards, both team highs, and another 183 on the ground. Quarterback Brandon Alt has thrown for more than 1,700 yards.

Eagan (2-6) at Lakeville South (5-3) South defeated Eagan 20-17 on Sept. 13, scoring the winning points on a free kick from kickoff formation late in the fourth quarter. It’s been an up-and-down season for the Cougars, who beat Wayzata in Week 2 but at other times have struggled to move the ball. Lakeville South re-tooled its offense to emphasize the run, and last week Mark Ruhl gained 196 yards and scored twice in a 28-7 victory over Bloomington Jefferson. Linebackers Josh Corcoran and A.J. Westrude are among the leaders on defense. Grant Mosser has been a two-way standout as a defensive back and receiver.

Eagan goes into the playoffs on a four-game losing streak. The Wildcats lost 28-7 at Apple Valley last week as they were unable to get into the end zone until the fourth quarter.

Kracke, Chelsea Gehrke, Cora Ruzicka and O’Reilly were 11th in the 200 freestyle relay in 1:42.70.

Notebook: Section 3 volleyball loaded again Eagan is ranked No. 1, but LV North seeded 1st

by Mike Shaughnessy It’s playoff time in high school football – and time to find out which teams will play the final prep games ever at the Metrodome.

The postseason started Tuesday and ends Nov. 29-30 when seven championship games take place at the Prep Bowl. It is the final Prep Bowl scheduled for the Metrodome, which will be torn down to make way for the new Minnesota Vikings stadium.

Apple Valley played St. Louis Park on Tuesday night in a Class 5A, Section 3 quarterfinal. The other teams in the Sun Thisweek coverage area will play at 7 p.m.

Friday in the Class 6A, Section 3 quarterfinals. Here’s a look at those games: Farmington (4-4) at Rosemount (7-1) The top-seeded Irish have been rolling, winning seven in a row after losing to Wayzata in double overtime in their season opener. They use a lot of people in their rushing attack – five players have 152 to 516 yards this season – which sets up big plays in the passing game.

Junior Dimitri Williams has 15 touchdowns, eight rushing and seven receiving. Quarterback Jackson Erdmann has passed for more than 1,100 yards. Tyler Hartigan has just nine receptions this season, but it seems as if every one is a big play; he averages 27.2 yards per catch and has four touchdowns. Linebackers Craig Syzmanski and Nate Sackett are playmakers on defense, and cornerback Conner Yepsen has returned three interceptions for touchdowns.

Farmington won its first four games, after which it appeared in the Associated Press top 10 in Class 6A. The Tigers haven’t won since. Farmington can move the ball through the air, as quarterback Tyler Van Winkle has completed about 55 percent of his passes for almost 1,400 yards. He had two touchdown passes in last week’s 21-14 loss to Shakopee. Jordan DeCroock, Mac Bassett and C.J. Wynings all have more than 20 receptions. Kevin Clifton, Eli Rockett and Mason Auge are among the Tiger defense’s leading tacklers.

Irish were Abby Tesch in the 200 freestyle (eighth, 1:56.33) and 100 butterfly (fifth, 58.96), Garrity in the 200 individual medley (seventh, 2:11.04), Herron in the 50 freestyle (fourth, 24.29) and 100 butterfly (sixth, 59.07) and Johnston in the 100 breaststroke (ninth, 1:07.91).

Carissa Boerboom, Johnston, Tesch and Cassandra Hutchins were ninth in the 200 medley relay in 1:52.29. Herron, Hutchins, Garrity and Wenman were fourth in the 200 freestyle

Eagan is ranked first in Class 3A volleyball but is the No. 2 seed in the Section 3 playoffs that started this week.

How is that possible?

Because it’s not just a matter of who you beat, but when you beat them.

The section seedings were completed before Eagan played in the Chaska Invitational last weekend, where the Wildcats beat Chaska 25-23, 23-25, 15-9 in the championship match to replace the Hawks at No. 1 in the state rankings.

Lakeville North (24-4) is the top seed in Section 3. The Panthers, who are ranked third in Class 3A, went undefeated in the South Suburban Conference, including a four-set victory over Eagan.

Eagan (24-2) played Bloomington Kennedy in a quarterfinal match Thursday night while Lakeville North took on Eastview.

The section semifinals will be Tuesday at Prior Lake High School, with the championship match scheduled for Nov. 2, also at Prior Lake.

Defending state Class 3A champion Lakeville North also is the threetime defending Section 3 champion.

Although some might expect a Lakeville NorthEagan showdown in the championship match, third-seeded Rosemount, fourth-seeded Burnsville and fifth-seeded Lakeville South might have something to say about that.

Rosemount won 20 matches during the regular season and Lakeville South took Eagan to five sets in a South Suburban match.

The Chaska Invitational is scheduled at the end of the regular season to give teams some strong competition before the playoffs, and Eagan coach Kathy Gillen-Melville said it was precisely what her team needed.

“For us, it was a huge confidence booster,” she said. “We took a loss in our previous match (against 10th-ranked Eden Prairie on Oct. 17), and we went to Chaska needing to play well. We needed to know we still can play well

against tough teams, and we showed a lot of intensity.”

Ninth-grader Brie Orr had a good tournament setting and hitting, said Gillen-Melville. Taylr McNeil, Madeline McNeil and Sarah Jurgens also played well, and the coach said the Wildcats excelled in blocking and defense.

“Our kids don’t really get too high or too low, and they had a good tournament,” the coach said.

Now the trick is keeping it up for a couple more weeks. The Section 3 champion advances to the state tournament beginning Nov. 7 at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul.

Lakeville North has been in the Class 3 championship match the last three years, winning in 2010 and 2012 and losing to Eden Prairie in 2011.

Swimming: three-way tie Prior Lake defeated Lakeville North 99.5-83.5 in a South Suburban Conference girls swimming meet Tuesday night, creating a three-way tie for the conference championship.

Prior Lake and North both were 8-1 in conference dual meets, as was Rosemount, which beat Eagan 98-83 on Tuesday.

Rosemount’s loss was to Lakeville North, and Prior Lake’s loss was to Rosemount.

Lakeville North and Prior Lake are the only two South Suburban teams in the top 10 of the state Class AA rankings at ninth and 10th.

North’s Zoya Wahlstrom and Alena Bodnaruk both won two individual events against Prior Lake and were part of the Panthers’ winning 4x400yard relay team.

Lakeville North, Lakeville South, Burnsville and Apple Valley will compete in the Section 2AA meet Nov. 6-8 at Hidden Oaks Middle School in Prior Lake. Rosemount, Eagan and Eastview are in the Section 3AA meet, also scheduled for Nov. 6-8. The Section 3AA swimming finals will be at Richfield Middle School.

The state meet will be Nov. 18-20 at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center. Edina is defending Class AA champion.

DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE October 24, 2013

LAND, from 1A 15 meeting.

The sale is contingent on the CDA receiving land use approval of its future project plans.

The entire 2.44-acre site had a listing price of $600,000, according to the city.

The CDA approved $1,464,122 in spending authority to purchase the three homes (a fourth one is still under negotiation), assist in relocating property owners and demolishing the homes.

Lindquist said the city and the EDA do not have any plans to purchase the 10 other homes on the east side of Cambrian, which terminates at the end of the block. “We are excited about it,� said Kari Gill, CDA deputy executive director. “We are hoping to do an attractive building.�

Lindquist said the city has been in discussions with CDA officials about building new senior housing for the past two years. “We were talking about potential locations, and they settled on this one as

one that worked quite well for them,� Lindquist said.

Gill said the project is part of the CDA’s third round of 10 buildings it has constructed in the past three decades. “It will be nice to be more in the downtown,�

Gill said.

Gill said the CDA has not had a neighborhood meeting. She said the building is only in the concept stage but would be oriented along South Robert Trail, have a similar look to the recently-completed site in Farmington and have underground parking.

Site added In a related action, the city will have a public hearing at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 5, at Rosemount City Hall regarding the addition of Stonebridge and CDA sites to the project area where the DowntownBrockway district’s taxincrement financing can be spent.

It would not change the area in which TIF taxes are collected, not result in changes to taxation of properties currently in the district, and does not ex-

brought to you this week by

tend the duration of the district.

TIF districts are established in order to pay for upfront construction costs that are paid back over time by increased taxes generated by new developments.

Lindquist said the city would assist the CDA with some site costs, possibly including property acquisition and relocating a sewer line that bisects the property.

Another possible source of funding would be a grant application under review from the Met Council’s Livable Communities Demonstration Account.

South portion The goal for the southern portion of the site will be for a commercial property that might have businesses that would be compatible with the senior building, Lindquist said.

The Port Authority agreed to suspend active marketing of the site until the CDA project is complete.

The Genz Ryan site has had much speculation about it since the company moved to Burnsville in ear-

ly 2005.

Kraus Anderson nearly started construction on a multi-tenant commercial building, but Health East backed out of the project in May 2009.

Since then, the city of Rosemount has shopped the site.

The CDA work would be another major project related to the Downtown Redevelopment Framework completed in summer 2004. The first project was Waterford Commons – a 108-unit apartment building and 13,000-square-foot retail building between 146th and Lower 147th.

The CDA’s development would be across South Robert Trail to the immediate southwest and a block away from its 44-unit Cameo Place development, which was built in 1997.

Gill said CDA senior housing sites have 1,300 people on waiting lists for the current 26 sites.

The state Demographer’s Office says Minnesota’s 1.3 million baby boomers started to retire in January 2008, which will continue for the next 20 years.

SENIOR | MIDFIELD BURNSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL

FARMINGTON HIGH SCHOOL

Last week, when Burnsville was down 2-0 in the Section 3AA Championship game, Abby stepped up and took control scoring the first goal and assisting on the tying goal. Burnsville went on to win in a shootout, qualifying for the state tournament. Abby inspired and led her team during this game. She is the team leader in both goals and assists this year and is a senior captain. Abby is a four year varsity player who has 26 goals and 33 assists for her career.

Jared is Farmington’s leading scorer with 12 goals in 7 games for the regular season. In the post season he has added two more, one in our Section 1AA Quarterfinals 4-1 victory against Rochester John Marshall and Jared scored the game-winner in our Section 1AA Semifinal 1-0 victory against #2 seeded Lakeville North. In the 15 games that Jared played in he has scored 14 goals. Of the games that Jared scored in 7 were FHS victories and two were ties. Jared is a 6’4� State Track and Field 800m athlete. He draws attention on the field. He spent the season being double and triple-teamed. Jared has had to battle for the goals he got, either by fighting for an open shot or winning a header. Jared doesn’t have any assists, but I wouldn’t hold this against him. He dishes the ball off exceptionally well. Jared has assists from the last three seasons at the Varsity level.

Awards & Accomplishments: 2 x All-Confererence, 1st Team All-State, All-Pioneer Press Team

Jared sustained a knee injury in our 8th game of the season.

He had 10 goals at that point. He missed two games after that and has been recovering ever since. It will be months before he is fully recovered.

DUCATIONAL XCELLENCE

Spotlight on Education “Imagine Your Future�

Helping college students choose the right major Picking a college major is a big step for young students. Though many adults eventually find themselves working in fields that have little to do with their college majors, many more spend their entire careers in the same field they chose to major in way back in their college days.

Choosing a major is a decision that ultimately rests on the shoulders of the students who must consider a host of factors before committing to a specific field of study. But parents can still help their children, whether those kids are already enrolled in college or collegebound, as they make such an important decision that

could very well affect the rest of their lives. • Encourage patience.

Today’s college students and college-bound youngsters are living in a world that’s significantly different than the one their parents or even older siblings might have encountered. Global and domestic unemployment rates remain high, and technology is changing the way many industries conduct business.

But students trying to pick a major should avoid picking one too quickly. Just because a certain field is experiencing job growth does not mean that field is ideal for all students. Encourage kids to be patient when choosing a major so they can find the

Today’s college students may lean on their parents for advice as they attempt to choose a college major that will help them improve their job prospects after college.

(Photo submitted) field that’s right for them, • Suggest a double major. and not just the major they Many of today’s students feel will produce the best job are fully aware of the diffiprospects. cult job market and the cost of a college education. As a result, such students want to choose a major they feel will put them in the best position to land a well-paying job after college. That’s a smart strategy, but it’s also one that overlooks the joy of studying a subject you are passionate about. Parents can simultaneously encourage kids to be smart about their job prospects and pursue their passions by suggesting a double major. For exam-

ple, if your child has a love of art but understands the difficulty in earning a living as an artist, suggest a double major in art and graphic design. This way he or she has more career options upon graduation but still has the chance to pursue a subject he or she is passionate about while in school. • Encourage students to apply for internships. An internship is another great way parents can help kids as they decide on a college major. Internships are rarely easy to get, but some firms hire interns who are still in high school. Parents should encourage kids to pursue internships as early as possible. Internships can provide young students with some real-world experience and give them an accurate glimpse into what their professional lives might be like if they choose a particular field of study. Some kids might be encouraged by an internship, while others might realize a given field is not really for them. Either way, the internship can help narrow down the field of prospective majors for young students.

• Let kids know a major isn’t the same thing as a career. The pressure to choose the right major can be overwhelming for some young students. But parents should let kids know that a major is not the same thing as a career, and many graduates end up working in fields that had little or nothing to do with their majors. For instance, just because a student earns a degree in finance does not mean he or she will end up working on Wall Street.

While parents should emphasize the importance of choosing the right major when speaking to their children, they should also let kids know that nothing is ever set in stone. That can help take some of the pressure off students as they make such an important decision. Today’s college students have more to consider when choosing a college major than many of their predecessors. But parents can still take steps to help kids choose the right major without succumbing to the stress that comes with making such a significant decision.

Five things you should never say in a job interview

6XSHULRU8 FRP

Are you having trouble landing a job and you’re not sure why? The right skills and an impressive resume may get you an interview, but getting hired is another story.

Experts say it’s all about presenting your character, personality, abilities and values in a positive, relatable light that is attractive to employers. “There’s no such thing as the perfect response to any question in a job interview,� says Andrea Kay, career columnist and consultant, and author of the new book, “This is How to Get Your Next Job: An Inside Look at What Employers Really Want.� “But what you talk about in the interview could cost you the job offer if you aren’t careful.

These are the top five things Kay says you should never talk about or say in a job interview: • Don’t talk about things you can’t back up. Before you state your claim to a quality that sets you apart, think it through. Just saying you’re a great team player or terrific problem solver doesn’t make it so, even if it’s true.

Discuss where, how, and exactly what you did that made you so effective. Be ready to cite one or two examples of how you’ve done what you say you can do. • Never say, “I have good people skills.â€? The words

If your search for employment has been frustrating, consider your interviewing technique. A few tweaks to your approach could mean a fantastic job offer. (Photo submitted) are so overused they mean nothing. Consider what it is you do that makes you effective when dealing with others. Are you good at working through difficult issues with co-workers? Do you have a knack for writing and talking to customers in a way that explains things? Tell interviewers about that instead. • Never say, “I just want to learn.â€? Employers aren’t in business to teach, but rather to deliver a service or product. An interview is an opportunity to show an employer how you can apply what you know to the business. So rather than focus solely on your eagerness to learn, tell an interviewer how you will use the skills you have begun to develop to solve problems.

• Avoid too much personal information that has nothing to do with your qualifications. Don’t talk about why you need the job (even if you do have a hard-luck story about sick children or a spouse whose been laid off). Don’t talk about politics, religion or sexual preferences.

When a person can’t leave personal issues at home, it makes an employer wonder: does he lack the necessary maturity and good judgment? Is her personal life such a wreck that she may not be dependable? • Don’t talk about irrelevant things that pop into your head. To be less impulsive, literally practice interviewing. Slow down, count to five, and give yourself a chance to consider how your comment will sound.

He had cataract surgery more than two years ago, but the doctors said it’s unrelated. “The doctors said there’s no connection,�

Thurmes said. “They’ll never be able to convince me of that. But my eye doctor said: ‘If they did something wrong, I would tell you.’ �

Thurmes said he’s in great spirits, overcome with the generosity of the Lions Club.

He plans to visit one of the leading eye doctors in the country in Chicago soon, but for now he can see his grandchildren’s eyes, call in a prescription refill, and read articles in the newspaper whenever he wants.

He would be able to drive, he said, but he can’t make out the signs.

Thurmes can’t read black type on white, but he can read white type on black.

When he wanted to read a newspaper, balance the checkbook, see a photo of his grandchildren, or read his prescription bottles, he had to ask for help.

BAND, from 1A Championships.

The Irish’s fourth place out of 64 in the preliminary and seventh out of 14 in the final were the highest finishes of the five Minnesota bands in the competition, which included Eastview, Irondale, Eden Prairie and Marshall.

Rosemount also earned a Caption Award for Outstanding General Effect and medals for first place in 3A. This is the ninth consecutive year that Rosemount has earned finals status at the St. Louis event (200513).

The band directors Steve Olsen, Leon Sieve and Bo Hoover said in an email that this was the band’s best performances of the season.

They wrote that they were proud to see the band members celebrating after-

riences of my directing career,� Holmes said. “I had a dad in Vietnam and grandpas in World War II. I’ve seen students go on to the military. You get so filled with pride with how these kids perform and do something for someone else. They might not get it until later in life, but it’s really special.�

When teaching the 96-member concert band the song, she tells the students the history of the military and its relationship to music. “That correlation for what music can do for a person and how it reaches out to people, it’s a great connection as musicians to give that piece of remembrance and pride,� she said. “The fact that we can express ourselves and play music for them is a small thing for us to do in the community.�

The concert band will also play “America the

ward exhibiting a gamut of emotions – high-fives, hugs, happiness, excitement and tears of joy.

While the directors said they were impressed with the performances, they were also proud of the students’ classy and exemplary behavior and positive attitude throughout the weekend. “These students model excellence in and out of the performance arena – as expected,� they said.

They were also impressed with the number of relatives and friends who made the trip to St. Louis to support Rosemount and all the bands in the competition.

That support included a welcome back to the band’s hotel from enthusiastic, loud and proud Rosemount families all cheering and applauding. “This was truly priceless,� the directors said. “These are the kinds of

highly memorable experiences that our kids will remember with great fondness for the rest of their lives.�

The schools that placed in the top six in the final were all former Grand National finalists.

The competition included 64 bands from 14 different states involving 9,200 student performers and an audience of over 20,500 spectators. “This was by far the largest number of competing bands and the most challenging lineup of competition ever at this event,� the directors said. “This is a significant achievement on the national level for our RHS band students and we are extremely proud of their impressive efforts.�

Beautiful� and “God Bless America.�

This year will feature the Farmington female choir Cantabile directed

by Megan Dimich for the first time.

The focus for 2013 is on veterans from the Vietnam War, for which Geis feels the American community has some making up to do. “Unlike World War II vets, Vietnam veterans weren’t treated as well when they got home,� Geis said. “They were humiliated. Freedom isn’t free, so we want to show them support.�

In other years, the event honored Korean War veterans and women veterans, among others.

Veterans in attendance will have their names read during the program.

The keynote speaker this year retired Maj. Gen. Larry Shellito, commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs and former adjutant general of the Minne-

sota National Guard.

Although the event is free, organizers would appreciate an RSVP, which can be done by calling 651-460-1805 or online at www.farmington.k12. mn.us. No tickets are needed. “It’s about the whole notion of patriotism,�

Geis said. “It’s to celebrate together and eat dinner together and learn about the sacrifices made by veterans.�

This year there will be free bus transportation from Trinity Care Center, Red Oak Manor and Vermillion River Crossing.

The event is co-sponsored by Farmington Area School District 192, Farmington American Legion, Farmington Lions Club, Farmington Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Farmington Yellow Ribbon Network.

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

M A

The board of Independent School District No. 194 (Lakeville) has proposed to increase its general education revenue by $540 per pupil.

INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 196 PROCEEDINGS ROSEMOUNT-APPLE VALLEY-EAGAN PUBLIC SCHOOLS MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 23, 2013 REGULAR BOARD MEETING Chairperson Rob Duchscher called the regular School Board meeting to order at 6 p.m. on September 23, 2013 at Dakota Ridge School.

Present: Joel Albright, Art Coulson, treasurer; Rob Duchscher, chairperson; Gary Huusko, clerk; Jackie Magnuson, vice chairperson; Mike Roseen, Bob Schutte and Superintendent Jane K. Berenz.

The Pledge of Allegiance was led by the School Board.

There was a moment of silence for Debbie Cunningham, a special education accounting clerk, who passed away.

Motion by Huusko, seconded

by Coulson and carried, with seven members voting in favor and no member voting in opposition, to approve the agenda.

Superintendent Berenz recognized principals and assistant principals for their leadership.

Lakeville parent Retno SaridewiWong informed the board of the formation of UNITE 196, a nonpartisan group of parents and citizens formed to fill in the gap between parents, community and the school district. They will work with state and local elected officials to make a difference for public schools.

Motion by Roseen, seconded

by Huusko and carried, with seven

members voting in favor and no member voting in opposition, to approve the following Consent items: Minutes of September 9, 2013 regular board meeting (Exhibit A1); Resolution appointing election judges and student election judge trainees for the November 5, 2013 election (Exhibit A2); Claims for September 4-17, 2013 (Exhibit B1); Electronic funds transfer schedule for August 31-September 13, 2013 (Exhibit B2); Schedule of investments for August 31-September 13, 2013 (Exhibit B3); Treasurer’s Report for month ending June 30, 2013 (Exhibit B4); Gifts received through September 15, 2013 (Exhibit B5); Advertising revenue under $500 received by September 23, 2013 (Exhibit B6); A $2,000 Peace Maker Foundation grant for Glacier Hills Elementary School of Arts and Science to continue peacemaking efforts at Glacier Hills (Exhibit B7); Contract with Hoglund Bus Company, Inc., through the State of Minnesota’s Cooperative Purchasing Venture, to purchase parts and services as needed throughout the 2013-14 school year (Exhibit B8); Separations, leaves of absence and new staff (Exhibit C1); Agreement with BOTH/AND Resources to provide co-located, mental health services to students at the School of Environmental Studies and Apple Valley High School for the remainder of the 2013-14 school year at no cost to the district (Exhibit D1); Agreement for private nursing services with ACR Homes for oneto-one care at school to meet the needs of a student (Exhibit D2); Agreement with a teacher for the 2013-14 school year, for an additional .033 FTE, without the FTE becoming part of a continuing contract (Exhibit D3), and Agreement with Walgreens for flu shot clinics at district sites exclusively for employees and paid for by the employees’ health insurance (Exhibit D4).

Director of Elementary Education Julie Olson introduced Angie Wyatt, elementary band coordinator and band director at Northview and Oak Ridge elementary schools.

Six years ago, Wyatt had a vision and implemented a program in District 196 entitled Band For All, in which the community donates gently used instruments for use by students who receive free- or reduced-price school meals. Band directors clean, arrange for repairs and distribute instruments to students for whom lack of access to an instrument would be a barrier to participation in school band.

Wyatt said that in 2006 several band directors and band parent Diane Morrison met to discuss the lack of diversity in the instrumental music program. District 196 has the largest band program in the state (currently 5,100 student participate in band), but they had noticed bands at the secondary levels did not reflect the school populations.

At most elementary schools 7080 percent of students in grade 5 participated in band. At Cedar Park Elementary, less than 23 percent of students in grade 5 participated (at that time, Cedar Park was a racially identified school by the Minnesota Department of Education).

The goals of Band For All were to reduce barriers to participation, provide access to instruments and enroll every Cedar Park grade 5 student in band. Valley Middle School Principal Dave McKeag volunteered to host a benefit in 2007 called 100 Horns in the hope of getting 100 instruments donated.

That fund-raising effort resulted in more than 80 instrument donations and $350 collected for supplies and repairs.

Band For All is now an ongoing donation program with more than 700 instruments in the system. Students are able to keep their instrument as long as they participate in band through the district. Students also benefit from in-kind donation of services from professional repair businesses. By 2011, the district had a large enough inventory to publicize the program to all fifth grade students. To date, more than 900 students have participated in the program and students across the district now benefit from the program.

Wyatt stated that Minnesota Public Radio modeled their Play It Forward statewide instrument donation program after Band For All. Band directors Anja Firchow, Highland and Cedar Park elementary schools; Dave Miller, Valley Middle-School of STEM, and Steve Olsen, Rosemount High, each shared a story about their students’ experience with the Band for All program.

Director of Finance and Operations Jeff Solomon provided background on the construction of a new facility for early learning and Adult Basic Education (ABE) programs to replace the Early Childhood Learning Center and Rahncliff Learning Center. The district has leased those spaces for the past 20 years and the buildings no longer meet the programs’ needs.

Solomon said alternative properties within the community and existing district properties were studied.

The administration determined the best site for a new facility would be the Dakota Ridge/Diamond Path area.

Scott McQueen, Wold Architects & Engineers principal architect, reviewed the makeup of the Core Planning Group, the group’s commitments and the design criteria.

He noted current overall square footage for the ABE program was 6,770; Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) was 8,140; Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) was 17,092, and general shared space was 3,950, for a total of 35,922, with a multiplier of 1.45 for program growth, the total square footage would need to be 52,113. The project is in the Schematic Design phase and will move into the Design Development and then Contract Documents phases.

McQueen reviewed the two-story floor plan, the site plan and elevations. The facility was designed based on the design criteria. He also shared renderings from the neighborhoods’ perspective.

Mark Bosch, Bossardt Corporation chief executive officer (CEO), noted his firm will be the Construction Manager for this project, reviewed the project schedule and noted he will be back to present updates and ask the board to take action on construction bid packages. Currently focus is on getting the site work (earth work, paving,

retaining walls) completed before it gets too cold and freezes. Bids are planned to be open on October 28.

Move-in is targeted for December 2014.

Solomon informed the audience that the facility will be paid for through lease levy funding and there will be no tax increase. The district will save taxpayers approximately $400,000 in lease levy costs and own the facility.

Director of Teaching and Learning Steve Troen asked the board to approve the 2012-13 Annual Report on Curriculum, Instruction and Student Achievement (Exhibit E).

He said the Curriculum and Instruction Advisory Council (CIAC) reviewed the report at its September 16 meeting, made suggestions and approved forwarding the report for School Board approval. The report now includes slide bar notes and facts highlighting district achievements, and the addition of an article on page 7 entitled, “Learning and technology task force developing vision.”

Motion by Huusko, seconded

by Coulson and carried, with seven members voting in favor and no member voting in opposition, to approve the annual report.

Solomon reported that the property tax levy is one component (19.42 percent) of the total revenue the district receives. He noted the board is required to adopt a proposed property levy limitation for taxes payable in 2014 by October 1 and forward that data to Dakota County (Exhibit F). The county will use the proposed levy limit amount to calculate information for the truth-in-taxation notices sent to taxpayers in mid-November. The final levy which the School Board certifies in December may not be greater than the preliminary levy limit approved now, except for adjustments made by the Minnesota Department of Education.

Solomon said the property wealth in District 196 has been declining over the past four years and shared data on the two measures used to determine that wealth. One measure is the referendum market value in the district which is currently at $12.7 billion, down 4.9 percent from one year ago. The other is the Adjusted Net Tax Capacity (ANTC) calculated at $145.2 million, a 1.9 percent decline from last year. Using those figures, Solomon said the total maximum levy limitation for 2013 (payable 2014) is calculated at $68,183,697.33, a decrease of 7.6 percent, or $5.6 million. The decrease is the result of additional equalization aid the district will receive from the state as part of the 2013 Omnibus Education Bill. Equalization aid helps equalize the cost of a local school levy dollar for all Minnesota taxpayers, regardless of the amount of commercial/industrial property in the communities they live. Another reason for the decrease is the result of debt refinancing and other actions by the School Board that saved money and lowered the district’s tax levy.

Solomon reported that the levy question on the November 5 ballot, if approved, would have a tax impact of $184 per year on the average-value home. After factoring in the tax decrease resulting from the state equalization aid, the net property tax increase of an approved levy referendum would be reduced to $56 per year, or less than $5 per month on the average-value home.

The administration recommended the board adopt the maximum levy limit which will allow for any adjustments to the data from the state to be sent directly to the county. Solomon noted the final certification in December may not be greater than the preliminary levy, except for operating levy funds approved by voters in an election.

Motion by Magnuson, seconded

by Coulson and carried, with seven members voting in favor and no member voting in opposition, to approve the proposed maximum levy limit.

Berenz asked the board to approve a resolution recognizing the leadership role played by principals and assistant principals in supporting the education of students and declaring October 6-12 as District 196 Principals and Assistant Principals Appreciation Week (Exhibit G).

Motion by Huusko, seconded

by Schutte and carried, with seven members voting in favor and no member voting in opposition, to approve the resolution.

Berenz announced residents may apply for an absentee ballot for the November 5 School Board election and levy referendum online or in-person at the District Office.

Motion by Schutte, seconded

by Roseen and carried, with seven members voting in favor and no member voting in opposition, to adjourn the meeting at 7:15 p.m.

the case and put it above others. If we feel we can explain the so-called activity or feel it happening based on drug use, alcohol use â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or if there is a safety risk to our clients or our team â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we do not proceed, and do our best to put the clients in touch with someone who can help them.

Q: What are you looking for when you conduct an investigation?

A: Our first task is to look for everyday logical explanations (for what) our clients feel is paranormal activity. We also look for activity that validates the clients claims.

Q: What type of equipment do you bring on investigations?

A: We bring a whole array of equipment. Red headlamps, digital voice recorders â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to record EVP, or electronic voice phenomena â&#x20AC;&#x201C; infrared cameras and a digital video

I believe fear comes from not knowing what is going on, so rather than get scared I try to find out the cause. One thing I know is, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re afraid of the dark, then this profession is definitely not for you.

Q: How does DCPS decide to investigate a possible haunting or paranormal presence? Do you actively seek out sites or do people with a problem contact you?

A: We get our cases both ways. We are always as a team looking for new cases. These are mostly historic business locations.

We are also contacted by clients about investigating their homes and sometimes businesses.

The process to do a case is started by a phone interview, and we use a questionnaire that lets the clients describe in detail what is happening. We then schedule a face-toface interview and get a brief tour of the location.

We take all this information and decide if an investigation is warranted or not.

If the activity is affecting kids, we usually take

We use our own money to buy equipment, have a website, etc. We ask that if you feel you need to pay us you take that money and donate it to someone or a charity that needs it.

One thing we will not turn down is equipment donations.

Q: Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the most frightened youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been during an investigation?

A: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m answering for myself on this one, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recall being frightened at any time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you kind of have to put your fears aside and stay composed. I get uncomfortable in different areas based on what I feel. It can be loss of breath, h e a d a c h e s, pressure on your body.

Spirit activity keeping you up at night?

The Dakota County Paranormal Society is happy to lend a hand.

Founded in 2008, the eight-member, Hastingsbased paranormal team has conducted ghost hunts at venues throughout Minnesota â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including investigations at the St. James Hotel in Red Wing, the Levee Cafe in Hastings, and the Palmer House Hotel in Sauk Centre.

Their goal is to provide answers to homeowners and business owners who are wondering if spirits are running amok in the dark. Investigators serve on a volunteer basis, and the group doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t charge a fee for its services.

The paranormal society will be giving a presentation on its eerie investigative work on Tuesday, Oct. 29, at the Heritage Library in Lakeville. The 6-8 p.m. event is free to attend and will include video from the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;spirit communicationâ&#x20AC;? sessions.

DCPS co-founder Gary Jahnke spoke with this newspaper recently about the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strategies for contacting the spirit world, tools of the ghosthunting trade, and why paranormal investigation isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for everyone.

Q: How did you initially get interested in the paranormal?

A: I got into this field because of experiences when I was young, and the question, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is there life after death?â&#x20AC;? My parents had some activity in their home and I wanted to know more. I discovered some shows on TV and thought â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to do that, I can run a team,â&#x20AC;? so I looked online and found someone just starting a team, and helped get it off the ground.

recorder, dowsing rods, walkie talkies â&#x20AC;Ś but our most important tool is always ourselves and our five senses, as well as our â&#x20AC;&#x153;sixth sense.â&#x20AC;?

Q: Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been the most compelling evidence youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gathered to suggest the presence of ghosts or a haunting at a particular site?

A: Our most compelling evidence would have to be our communication sessions with spirits. We use dowsing rods for this and we record the whole conversation. We get a lot of information about who is there and why.

Q: What questions do you pose during a spirit communication?

What makes a communication successful?

A: We pose â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;? questions. How it works is we establish if there is something there and we ask that it speak with us through the dowsing rods. The spirit manipulates the rods by moving them around.

We ask that if the rods cross that means â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? and if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;no.â&#x20AC;?

We ask questions like is it male or female, the age, their name, and try to find out who they are and why they are here. To find out names we start slowly saying the alphabet and have them cross the rods at the letters that spell their name.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very time-consuming and mentally exhausting process, but we can give our clients answers and in most cases we help the spirit as well.

Q: DCPS never charges for an investigation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; why not? And how does the group fund its activities?

A: We believe that this is not an exact science and everything we know at this point is theory-based, and therefore there is no true â&#x20AC;&#x153;professionalâ&#x20AC;? who is an expert â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so why charge?
