Hastings administrator picked for Burnsville job Two council members wanted internal candidate

by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The City Council voted 3-2 Monday to offer the Burnsville city manager job to Hastings City Administrator Melanie Mesko Lee. Mesko Lee edged out interim manager Dana Hardie, the only internal candidate among three finalists. The council ap-

pointed Hardie, Burnsv i l l e ’s administrative services director, to Melanie the interim Mesko Lee post after former City Manager Heather Johnston resigned this summer.

The split vote followed an often tense debate between council members Cara Schulz, Dan Gustafson and Bill Coughlin, who backed Mesko Lee, and Mayor Elizabeth

Kautz and Council Member Dan Kealey, who wanted Hardie.

All declared afterward they’d unite behind Mesko Lee. The third finalist was Shakopee Assistant City Administrator Nathan Burkett.

Mesko Lee, who was assistant administrator in Hastings for 14 years before gaining the city’s top job in 2013, declined an interview until the offer is finalized but said in an email to the newspaper she’s “honored and excited” to be chosen.

Two Burnsville-area legislative districts were part of the suburban sweep that gave Democrats control of the Minnesota House of Representatives Tuesday.

Two-term Republican Reps. Drew Christensen, District 56A, and Roz Peterson, District 56B, were unseated in an election that flipped 18 House seats from Republican to DFL.

Hunter Alice Mann Cantrell New DFL Reps. Hunter Cantrell, 56A, and Alice Mann, 56B, will take office when the Legislature convenes in January.

District 56A In a race marked by youth, Cantrell, 23, defeated Rep. Drew Christensen, 25, both of Savage.

The district includes four northwest Burnsville pre-

Roz Peterson Drew Christensen cincts and all of Savage.

Cantrell beat Christensen 52.7 percent to 47.1 percent.

“I believe that people across our state and across our country are dissatisfied with the state of politics in general, understandably,” said Cantrell, a personal care attendant and tutor in the AVID See House, 22A

Her win helped Democrats regain control of the U.S. House. It hasn’t held a majority in that chamber since 2010.

Opinion Tax benefits noted for military members

by Cynthia Bauerly SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Minnesotans who serve in the armed forces make many sacrifices during – and often after – their service. They, and the families who support and care for them, are vital members of our communities, helping each day to make a better Minnesota. My father served in the Vietnam War, and as I reflect on what he gave in service to our country – what all service members give – I am humbled and grateful. As Veterans Day approaches, we at the Minnesota Department of Revenue want to remember and honor their service and remind veterans and current service members that they may be eligible for Minnesota tax benefits.

The state of Minnesota provides a

Guest Columnist Cynthia Bauerly range of tax benefits for active-duty military members, and those who served in the past. One underused benefit is the Credit for Military Service in a Combat Zone. This credit is available to Minnesota residents who served in a qualifying combat zone or hazardous duty area.

The credit can be claimed up to three and a half years after the due date of their income tax return; meaning military members who had qualifying service in 2015, 2016, and 2017 can still claim the credit.

The credit is worth $120 for each month served in a combat zone or hazardous duty area during the year.

To learn more about the Credit for Military Service in a Combat Zone and the other tax-related benefits, visit the department’s website at www.revenue. state.mn.us and search keyword Military Members. There, one will find information and resources about several taxrelated benefits for veterans and current service members including: • Active-Duty Military Pay Subtraction, which lowers state income taxes for military members who are serving on active duty.

• Military Pension Subtraction, which allows one to subtract certain military retirement pay (including pensions) from Minnesota taxable income.

• Disabled Veterans Homestead Exclusion, which reduces or eliminates the property taxes those with a qualifying disability pay.

• Credit for Past Military Service, which lowers state income taxes for those with a qualifying disability, who served at least 20 years in the military, or receive military retirement pay.

We are proud that thousands of service members and veterans call Minnesota home. These tax benefits are just a few of the ways the state honors their service each year.

Cynthia Bauerly is the commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Revenue.

People are encouraged to ‘Thank a Cop’

by Bill Tschohl SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Our Apple Valley Police Department is very important for all of us. If you have not thanked an Apple Valley Police officer recently, I encourage you to do so. While we do not hear much about crime in Apple Valley, the officers are busy. For our safety and comfort the officers potentially put their lives on the line for us on a regular basis. Beyond this, often when done with work they involve themselves in community activities. They want our youth to stay on a good path and they assist with a variety of community events throughout the year. This is their way of thanking our community. They love this community so much as we all do.

I have been a resident of Apple Valley since 1979 and understand the importance of a well-run and safe city. During a 39-year career in real estate I’ve sold over 3,000 homes and it was always easy to convince people that this was the place to live. A safe city with a great education system. My three children were able to

Guest Columnist Bill Tschohl grow up in a safe environment. Now with young grandchildren I want them to enjoy the same safety that I and their parents enjoyed. This sense of safety would not be possible without the great leadership of Police Chief Jon Rechtzigel and Capt.

Nick Francis and the entire police force.

Our Mayor Mary Hamann-Roland, City Manager Tom Lawell and our City Council members understand the importance of a great police force and the need to provide proper support for them.

Working together they are able to provide protection for our residents.

It is not hard to say, “Thank you.”

They will appreciate hearing from you.

We still have residents who bring thank you cards to the police department. Some even bring candy, cakes, pies and even pre-

pared turkeys. It is all appreciated by the officers and support staff. The police department is located at 7100 147th St. W., Apple Valley.

A few years ago, a very generous individual wanted to see more appreciation for our police department and provided a large quantity of bumper or window stickers, which read: #THANK A COP, Apple Valley Police Department. About 1,000 have been installed on cars and home windows by supporters. It would be great to see everyone using the stickers on their car bumpers to show support for the Apple Valley Police Department. If you would like one of the stickers, please stop by at the Apple Valley Police Department.

They will be pleased to accommodate you.

In 2013, CNN Money Magazine said we are the 17th Best City in the Nation in which to live and work. Many of our residents feel we are No. 1 and look forward to continuing this feeling by showing support for our unsung police officers who are our heroes. A superior police force loved by the community is very impor-

tant when Money Magazine ranks cities.

We all know our Apple Valley Police Department is the best as they do so much to make Apple Valley a great city in which to live and work.

Mayor Mary said this is “one of the safest hometowns in America.”

The least we can do for the Apple Valley Police Department is thank them for all they do for everyone in Apple Valley.

They protect our city and continue to make it a better place in which to live and work even with some difficult challenges they face in their work. We appreciate them as they truly are there for us. As we prepare for a Happy Thanksgiving with our family remember them for making our families safe. Any kind words you extend to them will be deeply appreciated.

Kindly remember to “thank a cop.”

Incumbent DLFers hold firm in District 51 Both find enthusiasm on the campaign trail

by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Two veteran state representatives from the DFL Party will join several newcomers in the Minnesota House this year.

Sandra Masin won District 51A, which serves Eagan west of Interstate 35E and northeastern Burnsville. Masin won with 61 percent of the vote over Republican challenger Jim Kiner.

Laurie Halverson won District 51B, which serves Eagan east of 35E. She defeated challenger Doug Willetts 62 percent to 37 percent.

This will be Masin’s sixth non-consecutive term as a state representative. She also served on the Eagan City Council, so she’s been talking with voters for years.

Even though she holds a state office, she said “people have a number of feelings about what’s going on at the federal level” when she was out campaigning this year.

“In other times, it’s not been that pronounced,” Masin said. “I was getting a lot of opinions particularly about our president.”

She said she’s heard from Republicans who “want to vote in

a way to minimize what’s happening with the president,” she said. “Usually there might be a couple people who tell me this, but it’s way more than a couple this year.”

Halverson found similar feelings on the campaign trail. This will be her fourth term and she said she hasn’t seen this kind of energy in years.

“I’ve been knocking on doors for six years,” Halverson said.

“Without a doubt, I feel like people were having a hard time processing what was going on at the federal level. With (President) Trump’s rhetoric, the way he’s dividing people, there’s a lot of sadness.”

Masin said she was highly encouraged about the number of new people participating the process. Both said they found many newcomers looking to help out this year.

“It was so encouraging to see so many young people want to become involved,” Masin said.

“I was talking with people who were door knocking with me back in 2016. They were concerned about how our democracy was unwilling to vote, unwilling to participate. I sure want to keep our democracy. There’s still too many people who say they haven’t voted and feel like it doesn’t make a difference in Minnesota.”

Masin pointed to the number of recounts in Minnesota state history like the governor office in 2010 and U.S. Senate in 2008.

There were two recounts for state Senate in 2016.

“If you don’t like what’s going on, you have a vote in the processes,” Masin said. “Young people, they have a lot to lose if they don’t participate, especially once they have kids.”

Halverson said she also found an energetic younger demographic in 2018 compared to other years.

“I talked to people who said they were going to vote for the first time,” Halverson said.

“They were coming home from college to just vote. People who were spending a semester abroad.

That’s dedication.”

Halverson said the younger voters are aware that “what policymakers could be potentially leaving them. They could be the ones spending the resources cleaning up pollution and making sure people have access to health care. To make sure people aren’t saddled with student debt that will prevent them from owning a home and starting a family,” she said. “These are real issues. It’s about the world we leave to them.”

Masin said the top issue she’s heard about on the campaign trail this year was about health-

care access and the price of medical treatment.

Halverson said she found that many people who have healthcare coverage were happy, but she found they’re insecure as to “what it’s going to look like in the next three to five years,” she said.

Masin said she’s also heard about the cost of education and services for people with disabilities.

“We did nothing for higher education,” Masin said. “There’s still a lot of big issues.”

Halverson agreed with education funding.

“Education always rises to the top in Eagan so that’s not a surprise, regardless of party,” Halverson said. “This is a community where they see the value they get from the school district.”

Masin has served as a state representative for six non-consecutive terms.

She is a former Eagan City Council member and represented District 38A from 2007-2011 before districts were redrawn.

She lost her seat in 2010 to Republican Diane Anderson, but won a rematch in 2012 serving 51A where’s she’s now won three straight elections.

Although she’s won four straight elections, Halverson knows her district is a “volatile swing district.”

She’s won against Pat Hammond (56-43 percent in 2016), Jen Wilson (51-49 percent in 2014) and defeated incumbent Doug Wardlow (52-48 percent in 2012). Wardlow was a candidate for attorney general of Minnesota; he lost to Keith Ellison.

Halverson credits Wardlow for inspiring her to run for political office.

“I have the distinction of beating Doug Wardlow,” Halverson said. “That was a contest of ideas. He’s the reason I ran. I didn’t have designs on running for office ever, but I remember having a conversation with a group of women during a book club meeting thinking ‘this guy is a real problem. He’s not representing the community.’ ” She said she wants to serve the people of Eagan, not some “ideology.”

Both will join a Minnesota House with a DFL majority next session along with DFL governor-elect Tim Walz.

Halverson said she has a wealth of information from voters to bring back to the Minnesota Legislature.

“We need thoughtful, Minnesota-based reform,” Halverson said. “People want solutions, not partisanship.”

“We have a couple hundred million dollars in development that’s going to happen, which is going to bring significant tax relief in the form of new property tax revenues, significant relief for the citizens that are paying taxes today, and taking huge pressure off of cost drivers such as wages and health benefits” for city employees, he said.

Said Workman, “Burnsville’s got a ton to offer, more than a lot of neighboring communities, but it gets passed over. And our school district (191) does play a role in that, and I know that those guys are working their tail off with the city and the chamber to try to address some of those issues. But we’ve got a lot of work to do yet.”

Schmid last in School Board race

Jim Schmid, a two-term incumbent and current chair of the BurnsvilleEagan-Savage District 191 School Board, lost his reelection bid Tuesday.

The Burnsville resident finished last in a five-way race for four four-year board terms. He couldn’t be reached for comment by press time Wednesday.

Incumbent Abigail Alt, Burnsville, was the top vote-getter, trailed by newcomers who will join the board in January.

Alt got 21.2 percent of the vote, followed by Jen Holweger of Burnsville (20.44 percent), Scott Hume of Burnsville (20.42 percent) and Lesley Chester of Eagan (19.1 percent).

Schmid got 18.1 percent.

Art Works celebrates a year of creativity, labor Studio, gallery, makerspace evolves in year one

by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

About a year ago a group of artists in Eagan saw their dream of opening a central hub for the arts community open its doors.

They’ve brought in high-flying Brazilian martial arts. They put up an art gallery displaying rare works from Anthony Caponi.

They’ve watched their studio, gallery and makerspace grow and evolve at 3795 Pilot Knob Road.

Art Works Eagan even evolved into Art Works, dropping Eagan from its name to help define itself a little more clearly.

“We noticed that because it was once a city-owned building and close to other city buildings, people thought we were part of the city,” said Robin Cerio, vice president of the Art Works board. “We do want to help this community, but we want to be clear, we’re not funded by the city.”

The initial vision was to be a central hub for the art community in Eagan that includes space for a gallery, studios, small performance space and a makerspace.

It’s still a young organization, but Cerio said they’re trying to position themselves well for the future.

“It’s a unique model with a studio and performance space and gallery,” Cerio said. “We’ve stuck to our mission of bringing the art community together.

The surprising piece is just get-

ting the word out. Getting people to give us a chance to come into our space. All of us have a vision of what it could be. We want to push the envelope a little bit.”

While programs and exhibitions have gone well, “name recognition is a challenge,” Cerio said. “Just getting people to recognize who we are.”

To also help with visibility, Art Works is in the process of putting up a larger sign.

One of the highlights has been the Sunday Salon series, which they describe as “innovative and experimental performances in theater and music” on Sunday evenings.

Aside from the first event in the series, which was a performance by the Minnesota Capoeira Academy (the aforementioned Brazilian martial arts group), the rest of the performances have been a surprise to attendees.

They’ve hosted dance, musical, and spoken word performances this year.

The last Sunday Salon event of 2018 is at 7 p.m. Dec. 2.

They are looking into sug-

gestions on how to improve the series. Organizers are already planning for next year.

“They’re family-oriented events, but we’re reevaluating some things,” Cerio said. “We find people are often busy Sunday nights getting ready for the week.”

Many artists have put the studio spaces to good use. Art Works offers private art studio space for rent, and there are currently openings in the ceramic studio.

The space is welcome to artists of all kinds including those working with ceramics, paint, mixed media and writing.

The space is available for events and meetings.

There’s an art gallery, which is free and open to the public during regular business hours.

The current gallery features rare sculpture pieces by Caponi, which are not part of his namesake park in Eagan.

Art Works is offering a free tool orientation for ages 18 and older from noon-3:30 p.m. Nov. 10. The makerspace features a Malsow CNC router that can cut or engrave computer-gener-

Business New Prime Therapeutics office building opens

by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The largest office complex currently under construction in the metro has finished its first phase.

More than 900 employees recently moved into Prime Therapeutics’ new office building at 2900 Ames Crossing Road southeast of the Vikings Lakes development in Eagan last month.

Eventually the facility will be nearly 400,000 square feet.

In comparison, the TCO Performance Center, the new Minnesota Vikings headquarters, is about 277,000 square feet.

Phase One, which officially opened last month, includes about 225,000 square feet of space to house staff along with common space amenities such as a fitness studio and cafeteria.

Employees have been moving in since Oct. 15.

When it’s complete, about 2,300 people will be working in the new complex. Prime Therapeutics is a pharmacy benefit manager that serves Blue Cross Blue Shield plans nationwide.

“We had an aggressive timeline and we’ve been able to make it,” said Brian Holmes, assistant vice president, strategic partnerships and real estate with Prime

Prime Therapeutics, a pharmacy benefit manager serving 22 Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans nationally, has officially completed the first phase of its new Eagan operations and IT facility.

Prime Therapeutics employees moving in include the IT department along with operations, processing and clinical review teams.

Phase One also includes a new fitness area and larger cafeteria with more amenities and options.

The dining area includes a deck overlooking Lake Shanahan and the new Vikings facility.

Prime Therapeutics leadership knew the Vikings were going to move in essentially next door when they selected the site. Traffic was fine last summer.

“We weathered one of their training camps already and there were no issues,” said Karen M. Lyons, director of corporation communications at Prime Therapeutics.

The building is also located near a Metro Transit bus line and Dakota County has plans for a greenway system nearby.

Phase Two will essentially be another approximately 160,000 square foot wing of office space mirroring the current building.

It’s on schedule to open next summer. Prime Therapeutics will retain office space near Normandale Lake in Bloomington.

Therapeutics. “We love the location. It’s centrally located. By building something in Eagan, it’s a continued win.”

The new facility will consolidate four other offices.

“It’s much more efficient,” Holmes said. “It’s a better use of space. We’re able to bring different teams together. Before, there were maybe some inefficiencies by having different teams in different buildings, but now they’re under one roof.”

They plan to take advantage of the new office’s collaborative spaces with additional meeting and conference space.

Burnsville High School Principal Dave Helke has apologized for what he said was a tardy public response to racist graffiti at the school.

In a letter to BurnsvilleEagan-Savage School District 191 families that was tweeted Oct. 30, Helke also said he would convene a Nov. 2 meeting of student leaders. A similar meeting was held last spring to “increase communications and decrease the conflict that comes from our differences,” Helke wrote.

The graffiti was discovered the afternoon of Oct. 23 on and around the large rock known as Spirit Rock at the southern edge of the student parking lot.

A group of students has since repainted the rock.

“Diversity is what makes us great,” reads a new message on the rock.

Helke said it was a mistake to not address the incident immediately.

“I did not want to give the individual or individuals who did this more power than they deserve,” he wrote. “But by not talking about it, I sent the message that it was something that could be ignored or that wasn’t important. I apologize for this as that was not my intent as I believe

issues of race and equity need to be addressed.”

He acknowledged the hurt the graffiti caused students, especially students of color.

“I want all of our students to know that this school is for them,” Helke wrote. “Not just that they are welcome here but that the adults here are in their corner, that we care about them and that we will

stand up with them.

“Next, I want you to know that we are working with the Burnsville police to investigate. If a Burnsville High School student is responsible, we will follow our policies to address this behavior.”

by John Gessner

SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

While Minneapolis, St. Paul and others have expanded their networks of bicycle lanes in recent years, Burnsville is just now looking to introduce the concept.

A consultant worked with officials to map potential bike lanes throughout the city. An open house on the map was held Oct. 24, and an online comment period ended Nov. 2.

The City Council will review a proposal at its Dec. 11 work session, City Engineer Jen Desrude said.

“This would not be something where we would be striping the whole city,” Desrude said. “We want to start a little slow and see what the response is before going any further.”

Officials are considering two types of lanes.

• Dedicated bike-only lanes are 5 or 6 feet wide, delineated by a solid white stripe and bicycle pavement markings. The lanes and related bike routes are marked by signs.

• Shared-use lanes are 14 to 16 feet wide — wider than a typical 12-foot traffic lane — and accommodate both bikes and motor vehicles.

Bike pavement markings and “Share the Road” signs may be used to identify the lanes. Drivers are expected to stay behind bicyclists until gaining the 3-foot clearance to pass required by state law.

Some of the online responses to the map illustrate the potential tension over bike lanes seen in other cities.

“These exist in MPLS and I think they are a hazzard (sic) and a waste of

space,” wrote one online commenter.

“Bicyclists seem to think they own the road and never seem to be able to use the stop signs or obey other laws. Please do not put any of these lanes in. They are a hazard to drivers,” wrote another.

Others differ.

“I have regularly biked nearly 40 yrs in Burnsville and find sidewalk paths an accident waiting to happen.

Nobody looks for sidewalk traffic when coming out of driveways and side streets or when turning into,” a commenter wrote.

“Burnsville is sorely lacking in bike trails citizens can access from our homes,” wrote another.

Council members gave the go-ahead to study bike lanes, according to Desrude.

The study is part of multimodal transportation projects for which the city has budgeted in the past three years.

Also, the city’s parks master plans calls for improved bike connections to Burnsville destinations, and adding bike lanes is cheaper than building more trails, Desrude said.

Bike lanes in Minneapolis and St. Paul have mushroomed. According to a Star Tribune story from October 2017, Minneapolis had added 75 miles of lanes in the past six years and St. Paul had added 27 since 2015.

“Some of the feedback we’re getting is to be mindful that Burnsville’s not the same as Minneapolis. We will be mindful of that,” Desrude said.

However, “I do think that having some striped lanes and some pavement markings and some signage

around to get people where they want to go isn’t heading in the direction of making Burnsville something it’s not,” she said. “It’s letting those who choose to ride by bike have more options.”

Bikes are already allowed in traffic lanes on roads with shoulders, Desrude said. But many cyclists prefer some space.

“I think most people would like to have some protection and some separation,” she said.

Bikes are also allowed on shoulders, Desrude said, but that’s less practical and less safe if the shoulder has parked cars.

Traffic volumes and lane widths will help determine where dedicated or shared lanes are proposed, she said.

“If there’s less traffic on the road, then a shared lane might be more appropriate,” Desrude said. But shared lanes aren’t appropriate for very narrow roads, she said.

“We’re also looking at what points of interest we want to connect to,” Desrude said. “Getting to existing paths is one of our goals.

We already have some trail networks, and we want to fill in the gaps and get people to the trail networks.”

“Points of interest” may include designations such as the Ridges medical campus and the UTC Aerospace Systems campus along near County Road 42 west of County Road 5.

“We’ve heard from the owner of UTC that they are a younger workforce,” Desrude said. “They might have some interest.”

District 196 to hold focus groups on budget cut recommendations Independent School District 196 has scheduled three nights of focus group meetings the first week of December to get public input on $25 million in budget adjustment recommendations before they are presented to the School Board in January.

The focus groups will run from 6-7:30 p.m. on each of the following nights: • Tuesday, Dec. 4, at Black Hawk Middle School in Eagan; • Wednesday, Dec. 5, at Rosemount High School; and • Thursday, Dec. 6, at Falcon Ridge Middle School in Apple Valley.

There will be focus groups of parents, residents and community/business leaders, and employees each night. Some participants will be randomly selected and invited in a letter from Superintendent Mary M. Kreger. Anyone interested in participating can contact the superintendent’s office at 651-423-7723 or email supt@district196. org and include their name and phone number to reserve a spot.

A Budget Steering Committee has been meeting since September to develop the list of recommended cuts and revenue enhancements to address a projected $25 million budget shortfall over the next three years.

After getting input from the focus groups, the committee will present its final recommendations as new business at the Jan. 7, 2019, School Board meeting. The board is expected to decide how much and what to cut for the 2019-20 school year at its Feb. 11, 2019, meeting. Additional cuts for the following two school years would be needed if district voters do not approve a local levy referendum that the board is likely to call for November 2019.

Director of Finance and Operations Jeff Solomon said the budget adjustments are necessary because basic education funding from the state has not kept pace with inflation. The general education formula allowance is the single biggest source of revenue school districts receive to support basic education. Since 2003, the gap between

the actual and inflation-adjusted formula allowance has grown to $618 per pupil. If the formula had kept pace with inflation the last 15 years, Solomon said District 196 would be receiving an additional $18 million in state funding this school year.

The lack of adequate funding for special education is an even costlier issue for Minnesota school districts. This year, the gap between state and federal funding for special education and the actual cost of providing these mandated services, known as the special education “cross-subsidy,” will top $700 million statewide. In District 196 alone, the funding shortfall for special education was $28 million last year and is expected to be even larger this year. As a result, the district needs to use general fund dollars to make up the difference.

For more information about the focus group meetings, call the superintendent’s office at 651-423-7723.

Budget Advisory Council meeting The District 196 Budget Advisory Council (BAC) will meet 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 14, at the District Office in Rosemount, 3455 153rd St. W. As always, the public is welcome to attend.

Topics on the Nov. 14 agenda include review of the 2018 audit, an enrollment report and projections, and discussion of financial plan parameters.

The BAC advises the District 196 School Board on matters related to finance. The 12-member BAC is made up of nine parents/residents and three district employees, including a teacher, support staff representative and principal representative. The director of finance and operations and three School Board members serve as ex-officio members of the BAC. For more information about the BAC, call the office of the director of finance and operations at 651-423-7713.

Eagan fire chief named Officer of the Year Mike Scott credits firefighters past and present

by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

It’s a lot easier to be good in a job you love.

For Mike Scott, being Eagan’s fire chief is his dream job.

Scott vividly remembers a day in 1970 when several fire trucks pulled up in front of his house while he was playing outside. The fire department was recruiting volunteers for a second station to be located in northern Eagan.

At the time the area was protected by Mendota Heights, but Eagan was growing, he said.

He was too young to join at the time. But, his father was a charter member of Station 2.

“I would bug my dad to take me to the fire station every day,” Scott said. “I knew a lot about the trucks and how they worked. My dad would bug me saying I knew more about the trucks than the firemen there.”

Scott joined the department when he was 18.

About 20 years later he was selected as the first full-time fire chief for the department.

Scott was recently named the 2018 Minnesota State Fire Chiefs Association Officer of the Year for a City with a Population over 10,000 by the Minnesota State Fire Chiefs Association.

City Administrator Dave Osberg said the nomination letters for the award credited Scott’s innovative leadership and his solutions to staffing challenges.

Osberg noted the SAFER grants the city received that led to hiring additional full-time firefighters.

“He has a high level of knowledge and respect throughout the state and frankly the upper Midwest,” Osberg said.

Scott is the first and only full-time fire chief for Eagan. He’s served as chief for 12 years, and he’s served nearly 40 years with the fire service.

Scott has overseen a department grow and ex-

pand through the years.

Under his leadership the department reorganized and moved toward a fulltime staffing model.

“Over the last 15 years or so as our fire chief, you’ve really navigated our department through a modernization of sorts,” Mayor Mike Maguire said.

“It’s been a challenge. It hasn’t always been easy, but you’ve risen to the challenge.”

Scott said he was humbled by the recognition and gave credit to both current and former firefighters along with city staff and elected officials.

“I look at it as an award for the city and our community,” Scott said.

He was recognized during the annual awards banquet Oct. 12 at St. Paul River Centre.

Scott said the award came with a $1,200 grant the department will use to purchase uniforms for the explorers program.

100 YEARS LATER

By RACHEL ANDERSON Contributing Writer

When word reached the Twin Cities 100 years ago—on Nov. 11, 1918—that Germany had formally surrendered and the Great War (World War I) had finally come to an end, people spilled into the streets of downtown Minneapolis to celebrate.

The Minneapolis Journal reported in its Nov. 11 edition that, “A big siren tore the midnight silence, with a roar and a series of crescendo shrieks echoing from the hills of Columbia Heights to the lowlands of the Minnesota Valley. Victory had been achieved and the boys were coming back from over there.”

But for many in the Twin Cities and throughout Minnesota, the victory celebrated on Armistice Day—what was later renamed Veterans Day—was bittersweet.

Yes, the troops were coming home, but greeting them would be what historian and Star Tribune columnist Curt Brown calls the “trident of woe.” Things were not good on the Homefront.

In his most recent book, “Minnesota, 1918: When Flu, Fire, and War Ravaged the State,” published by the Minnesota Historical Society Press, Brown writes about the series of devastating events that put communities to the test, forcing them to persevere through untold hardship. “It

A look back at what was happening in the Twin Cities on Armistice Day

was really a triple whammy that hit the state in 1918,” said Brown. “You had war, fire and flu coming together in what was probably the worst year in Minnesota history since the Dakota War of 1862.”

“While World War I is remembered by many for the horrors of trench warfare and mustard gas, the flu pandemic that year really proved more deadly for Minnesotans,” said Brown. While 1,432 Minnesotans were killed on the battlefields, an additional 3,758 soldiers were struck down by the influenza pandemic, which left more than 10,000 dead in Minnesota alone.

While researching his book, Brown discovered the flu pandemic is believed to have started on a farm in Kansas where the illness jumped from a pig to a young man, who a short time later reported to a military base. According to the Centers for Disease Control, it is estimated that 500 million people, or one-third of the world’s population at the time, became infected with the virus. The number of deaths worldwide was estimated to be at least 50 million.

“Also in 1918, there was the worst natural disaster in Minnesota history to deal with,” says Brown. The Cloquet-Moose Lake-Duluth fires of 1918 killed more than 450 people, left thousands homeless, and scorched 1,500 square miles of land.

There is a story in Brown’s book about a large Swedish family up near Moose Lake.

“They were all worried about their son, David, fighting in the War, but he ended up being the only one to survive. When he came home the entire family had been wiped out in the Cloquet-Duluth-Moose Lake fires.”

Brown also reports that funerals held for fallen soldiers, and also for those killed by the fires, had to be private and done right away to keep people safe. “Usually the flu affects the very young and the very old, but people who were in their 20s—soldier age—were dying at an alarmingly high rate,” said Brown. “Schools, churches and movie theaters were all shut down due to the flu. People were afraid to go out.”

As if the disasters in Minnesota weren’t enough to contend with, there was also the anti-German/anti-immigrant feeling tearing communities apart. “In New Ulm, the anti-immigrant sentiment was really causing trouble,” said Brown. “The governor actually threw the mayor and city attorney out of office because they were suspected of being too pro-German. The Germania Bank of St. Paul changed its name; a German guy was tarred and feathered.”

Despite it all, there were some good thing to report about those times too, like the story of a nurse in Minneapolis who went above and beyond the call of duty.

THANK YOU Thank you, VETERANS! veterans.

“One of my favorite stories in the book is about a young nursing student at the University of Minnesota, who worked in a pediatric ward that was overwhelmed with sick kids,” explained Brown.

“The protocol of the day was you had to wear a white mask, a white outfit, and a white cap, but on her first day—she wrote a great essay about it—she stripped off her mask and cuddled these kids and said they responded great. Three days later a medical intern surprised her. He walked into the nursery during the overnight shift and said, ‘What are you doing?’ She said, ‘Well, I’m just trying to make these kids comfortable,’ and the guy said, ‘Well, is there a second rocking chair?’”

Minnesotans also provided for each other both during and in the aftermath of the terrible fires of 1918. Members of the Minnesota Home Guard, a volunteer organization created to ensure public safety and protect citizens’ lives and property, fought the fire. They also provided first aid and buried the dead.

More information about life in Minnesota around the time of Armistice Day can be found in the Minnesota Historical Society Press Book, “Minnesota, 1918: When Flu, Fire, and War Ravaged the State,” which is available for purchase online and in bookstores throughout the state.

House balance tilts to DFL Close races watched on election night

by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

In past election cycles, the House and Senate seats in the Sun Thisweek and Dakota County Tribune coverage area have helped swing the balance of power in the respective chambers.

Prior to Election Day 2018, Republicans held five House seats to the DFL’s three in the south suburban Twin Cities coverage area.

The DFL defeated three incumbent Republican House members and won an open seat in the local area, helping the party regain control of the chamber by swinging 18 districts statewide.

The only open seat in House District 57A, which covers portions of Apple Valley and Lakeville, was being contested by Republican Matt Lundin, a Realtor from Lakeville; DFL candidate Robert Bierman of Apple Valley, who owns a Northfield furniture business with his family; and Apple Valley resident Matthew Swenson of the Libertarian Party.

The open seat was vacated by oneterm state Rep. Erin Maye Quade, DFLApple Valley, who was the gubernatorial running mate of Erin Murphy. They lost in the DFL primary to the Tim WalzPeggy Flanagan ticket.

According to unofficial returns, Bierman had won the seat with a 54.53 to 42.2 advantage over Lundin. Swenson finished with 3.2 percent.

The flipped seats included: House District 56A — State Rep. Drew Christensen, R-Burnsville, was de-

feated by DFLer Hunter Cantrell, Burnsville, 52.74 to 47.13 percent.

House District 56B — State Rep. Roz Peterson, R-Lakeville, was defeated by DFLer Alice Mann, Lakeville, 52.64 to 47.28 percent.

House District 57B — State Rep. Anna Wills, R-Rosemount, was defeated by the DFL’s John Huot, Rosemount, 51.90 to 48.06 percent.

Incumbents won the rest of the seats in the coverage area.

They included: House District 51A — State Rep. Sandra Masin, DFL-Eagan, defeated Republican Jim Kiner, Burnsville, 61.42 to 38.52 percent.

House District 51B — State Rep. Laurie Halverson, DFL-Eagan, defeated Republican Douglas Willetts, Eagan, 62.18 to 37.74 percent.

House District 58A — State Rep. Jon Koznick, R-Lakeville, defeated DFLer Maggie Williams, Lakeville, 55.68 to 44.25 percent.

House District 58B — State Rep. Pat Garofalo, R-Farmington, was being challenged by DFLer Marla Vagts, Farmington, 58.72 to 41.18 percent.

The results were reflective of a strong showing for the DFL Party in Minnesota.

The DFL won all the statewide races for governor, attorney general, secretary of state, auditor and two U.S. Senate seats.

It is possible that the high turnout and support for DFL candidates at the top of the ballot filtered down to the state

House.

The DFL has held some of the local House seat’s geographic areas before, though they have been held mostly by Republicans since 2000. House boundary lines were redrawn in 2012.

Former state Rep. Phil Sterner represented the Rosemount-Apple Valley area for one term from 2009-2010 (District 37B) and Shelley Madore served the Apple Valley area from 2007-2008 (District 37A).

Former state Rep. Will Morgan also represented the general area of House District 56B in the Burnsville area from 2007-2010 (District 40A), and House 2013-2014 (District 56B).

But other than those blips, those districts have been served by Republicans.

Changing demographics may also be contributing to the flipped seats as Dakota County is becoming more diverse. Diverse populations tend to vote for more Democratic candidates.

The other notable returns were that the Eagan and Burnsville districts of 51A and 51B went heavily for the DFL in 2018 with Masin and Halverson winning by more than 60-to-40 margins.

Previous to Masin’s first election in 2006, the Eagan area was largely served by a string of Republicans that included former Gov. Tim Pawlenty.

Masin’s been in the House for six nonconsecutive terms – 2007-2010 (District 38A); House 2013-present (District 51A).

BAHS students begin year-long leadership academy Thirty students from Burnsville Alternative High School (BAHS) are participating in a year-long leadership academy in which they will develop three service projects designed to have positive impact on their school and community.

The students were recommended for the academy by their teachers and other school staff members based on the leadership skills they’ve already demonstrated.

“It’s a great opportunity for students to gain skills, experiences and knowledge, and then demonstrate what they’ve learned by developing community service projects,” said Courtnee Jackson Floback, youth service coordinator with Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District 191 Community Education.

“I’m excited about the positive impact these students will have on their school and wider community.”

The academy kicked off on Oct. 25 with students working individually on ways to thank someone who has invested in them in a “big way” and made an impact in their lives.

The service project in December will emphasize teamwork by asking students to “Drive, Do and Deliver” during the winter season.

As the academy winds up in May, students will work together to identify a community issue they’d most like to address on a larger scale. Then they’ll apply the leadership skills they’ve learned to create and implement the service project.

The leadership academy was developed and funded by Chick-fil-a. Students from Burnsville High School participated in the program last year.

Sports Wildcats, Cougars part of SSC’s volleyball dominance Three teams from league make state tournament

by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The high school volleyball playoffs were a South Suburban Conference tour de force, as four teams from the league reached section championship matches and three advanced to this week’s state tournament.

A South Suburban team has reached the Class 3A championship match every year since the conference formed in 2010. That streak has a strong chance to continue with Eagan and Lakeville South drawing the first and third seeds in the tournament and Shakopee getting the fifth seed.

And the only reason Lakeville North isn’t back to defend its 2017 state championship is the Panthers lost a five-set thriller to Lakeville South in the Class 3A, Section 1 final last Saturday, a match in which the two teams scored exactly the same number of points.

“When you play in a conference that tough, it makes it harder to earn your points,” said Lakeville South senior libero Alena Moldan. “It forces you to learn to play with

Eagan and Lakeville South will play in the Class 3A quarterfinals Thursday morning at Xcel Energy Center. Here’s a look at how they got there:

Eagan The Wildcats are in the state tournament for the 15th time since 1996 under coach Kathy Gillen and are seeking their eighth championship. They have been in the Class 3A final

the last five years, winning in 2013, 2015 and 2016. Last year they lost to Lakeville North in four sets in the state championship match.

Eagan (27-2) plays Forest Lake (25-6) in a Class 3A quarterfinal at 9 a.m.

Thursday.

Looking back at last year’s state final, Eagan all-purpose standout Kennedi Orr said, “I don’t think we played too terribly. Lakeville North played a great match. But a big part of our motiva-

tion this year was losing last year. That was tough for all of us.”

The Wildcats go into the state tournament on a 12-match winning streak after defeating East Ridge 25-21, 25-13, 25-18 in the Section 3 final last Saturday at Prior Lake High School. Eagan didn’t drop a set against any of its three section opponents and has lost only two sets since Oct. 1.

“We’ve played pretty well all season,” said Orr, a sophomore who had 14 kills, 16 assists and four blocks in the section final.

“All year we’ve been getting in the gym every day and working on situations like this. We’re kind of used to the pressure now, but even when you aren’t used to it your teammates will bring you up. That happened a lot when I first started playing on varsity.”

Wildcats senior middle hitter Ellie Husemann had 10 kills in the section final and Kelley Johnson, who splits setting duties with Orr, had 17 assists.

Eagan, Lakeville South and Lakeville North tied for the South Suburban Conference championship, with each going 8-1 in conference matches.

Eagan defeated Lakeville South but lost to Lakeville North. South handed North its only conference loss.

Eagan also defeated No. 2 seed Champlin Park in a closely contested best-ofthree match at the Chaska Invitational in October.

If the Wildcats reach the Class 3A final Saturday evening, they might find South or Champlin Park waiting for them.

Fortunately for them, they know what state tournament pressure is like.

“It’s always a cool feeling that you made it there for your team, your coaches and your school,” Orr said. “But it’s always nerve-wracking.”

Lakeville South

2016 the Cougars took third at state with a roster that included two future Division I college players.

“The last time at state we had a couple of superstar players,” said Moldan, who will play at the University of New Mexico.

“This year we’re so evenly matched against each other we get better in practice and in games.”

In the Section 1 final, Lakeville South outlasted a Lakeville North team that returned four regulars from its 2017 Class 3A championship team.

South won 30-28, 21-25, 25-19, 19-25, 18-16 in a match so close that each team scored 113 points.

With South leading 17-16 in the fifth game, Lakeville North’s Macy Winter appeared to have killed the ball to even the match. But Lakeville South setter Jasmine Weidemann stuck out her foot to keep it in play, and the Cougars went on to win the point and end the match.

Lakeville South is 27-4 going into the state tournament, where it will play Edina (19-7) in a Class 3A quarterfinal at 11 a.m.

Thursday.

Evidence of the South Suburban’s dominance in large-school volleyball showed up in the Star Tribune All-Metro selections.

Five of the six players on the first team were from SSC schools.

None of them were Lakeville South players, but Cougars veterans Jasmine Mulvihill and Alena Moldan passed on the opportunity to seize the norespect narrative.

“The people they picked are amazing athletes and they deserve what they have,” said Mulvihill, who like Moldan was named second-team All-Metro.

Eastview football team is bringing back the buzz State quarterfinal appearance is school’s first since 2013

by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Gloom might have been in the air as Eastview practiced on a cloudy, drizzly Monday afternoon. But the gloom didn’t make it down to the football field, where the Lightning were preparing for their biggest game in five years.

“This is something we’ve been working for since our freshman year,” said senior quarterback Erik Reimann. “To finally have a little success on the varsity squad, it’s fun. We’re ready to get out there on Thursday.”

Eastview plays undefeated Blaine in the Class 6A football quarterfinals at 7 p.m. Thursday at White Bear Lake High School. This is the first season since 2013 the Lightning have won a playoff game, let alone advanced this far. Eastview (6-4) is assured of a winning record, something that also hasn’t happened since 2013. It’s Eastview’s seventh appearance in the state quarterfinals; the other six were in a 12-season stretch from 2002 to 2013.

“There’s definitely a lot of excitement here,” Reimann said. “Almost every teacher I had (Monday) said congrats on winning the section. Our classmates have been excited about it. It’s the first time since they’ve been here

that they had a winning varsity football team.”

Eastview takes a fourgame winning streak into Thursday’s game against Blaine (10-0), which will see the winner advancing to the semifinals at U.S. Bank Stadium to play Eden Prairie or Minnetonka on Nov. 15. Blaine can be explosive, averaging about 380 yards a game, but faces an Eastview team that hasn’t allowed more than 17 points in any game despite playing several Class 6A heavyweights.

“Blaine’s a pretty solid group,” senior linebacker Mikey Kamano said. “We just have to do our jobs individually, and do them the way they’re supposed to be done.”

Forcing some turnovers would help, and that’s

something the Eastview defense has done successfully lately. Trailing by four points in last Friday’s Class 6A second-round game at East Ridge, the Lightning got three turnovers, helping set up two touchdowns in their 27-17 victory. Kamano forced a fumble after sacking the Raptors quarterback, with the Lightning recovering.

Kamano and Peter Pueschner also had interceptions in the fourth quarter.

“I think the entire season we’ve had this mentality of bend but don’t break, keep our poise, never succumb to the pressure even if we’re down,” Kamano said. “Especially for our defense, it’s really helped us down the stretch.”

Eastview junior running back Quintcy Suggs scored on a 46-yard run

in the first quarter and caught a 26-yard touchdown pass from Reimann in the second. Suggs rushed for 163 yards against East Ridge and now has passed 1,000 for the season. He’s at 1,018.

Isaiah Misukanis and Reimann scored rushing touchdowns in the fourth quarter after the East Ridge turnovers gave the Lightning offense ideal field position.

Misukanis and senior Larry Wright, who has more than 600 receiving yards, also have potential to make big plays for the Eastview offense. The Lightning struggled to reach the end zone early in the season – they were held to nine points or fewer in three of their first five games – but that’s less of a problem now.

“Defense hasn’t been a problem all year for us,” Reimann said. “Now the offense is finishing more drives. Earlier in the season, we were able to move the ball but weren’t putting it in the end zone. So we’ve gotten that together as the season has gone on and we’ve been able to win some games.”

The Lightning’s most complete game might have been a 28-14 victory at Prior Lake in the final week of the regular season, where they moved the ball on the ground and through the air and added a defensive touchdown.

“Even when we were 2-4, we knew we were super-close and just had to finish the game,” Reimann said. ”Prior Lake was when we knew we were See Eastview, 21A

Wildcats tripped up in semifinal shootout Eagan takes 3rd in Class AA girls soccer

by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Eagan-Minnetonka state Class AA girls soccer semifinal game was a shining example of why teams would prefer to avoid shootouts if at all possible.

The Wildcats, seeking a fourth state championship in five years, controlled play for much of the second half and in overtime of the Oct. 30 game at U.S. Bank Stadium and had the better of the play in overtime. But they couldn’t score, and the game went to a shootout that lasted seven rounds and ended when Eagan’s final attempt banged into the crossbar. The loss was the first of the season for Eagan (18-1-3) and ended the Wildcats’ streak of 10 consecutive state tournament victories dating to 2014.

Minnetonka, which won its first two state tourney games in shootouts, beat Wayzata 1-0 in the Class

AA final Friday, scoring the game’s only goal in the first half.

The Wildcats took a 30game unbeaten streak into

the semifinals. They outshot Minnetonka (16-41) 10-2 in the second half and had the only two shots on goal of the 20-minute

overtime. But they were playing catch-up in the shootout after the first round, when Minnetonka’s shooter converted and the Wildcats’ attempt missed.

Grace Sjoberg and Brooke Peplinski made their penalty kicks. By the fifth round, the Wildcats needed a conversion to keep the shootout going, and senior defender Jessica Van Wyk provided just that.

That sent the shootout to a sudden-death phase.

Both teams missed their shots in the sixth round. In the seventh, Minnetonka’s Olivia Muehlberg scored and Eagan’s shot struck the crossbar.

Eagan scored the first three goals of the state third-place game against Stillwater, matching teams that lost their semifinal games in shootouts.

Julia Barger scored twice and Alison Wong had a goal and assist as the Wildcats took a 3-0 lead. Stillwater responded with two goals, becoming only the second team all season to score two regulation-time goals in a

Lightning have two All-State runners Eastview boys finish 8th at state cross country

by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Eastview’s boys left the state cross country meet with a list of accomplishments that have seldom, if ever, taken place in program history.

The Lightning were eighth in the Class AA meet in their first appearance since 2012. They had two All-State runners (A.J. Green and Gabriel Mahlen) in one season for the first time ever. Green’s eighth-place time of 15 minutes, 42.1 seconds is a school 5,000-meter record.

That’s to go with South Suburban Conference and Section 3AA championships the Lightning won in October, both for the first time.

And seven of the nine runners on the state roster are underclassmen, leaving open the possibility that the Lightning could do more next year.

Mahlen, a sophomore, finished 24th individually in 16:03.0. Junior

Samuel Morgenstern was 79th in 16:37.7. Sophomore Colby Rubischko finished 132nd in 17:09.6 and senior Jesse Laursen was 134th in 17:10.6 to

count toward Eastview’s team total of 225 points.

Sophomore Sam Setterlund (144th, 17:18.7) and senior Benjamin Danner (154th, 17:26.6) also ran

at the state meet. Juniors Ian Kenney and Brendan Wilhelmi were the Lightning’s state alternates.

Edina won the Class AA team championship with 88 points.

Green, who burst onto the Minnesota high school track and field scene last spring by winning the Class AA 800-meter championship, had run cross country in middle school. But this was his first season with the high school varsity.

He was in 15th place after the second mile of the state meet but passed several runners in the final mile to crack the top 10.

“My only goal was really to get top 10,” Green said. “I didn’t want to put any pressure on myself. It was nice to have no pressure. I just ran. I think that helped.”

Eastview started the season outside the top 12 in the Class AA state rankings but was 10th in the final poll. “We came into the season unranked, so to come to the state meet shows that all the work we put in paid off,” Green said.

game against the Wildcats.

Barger put it out of reach with her second goal of the game with about seven minutes remaining.

Eagan outshot Stillwater 11-6, although the Ponies (15-3-4) had nine corner kicks.

Since 2014, Eagan has qualified for the state tournament four times, winning in 2014, 2015 and 2017 to go with third place this year. The Wildcats’ record since 2014 is 90-8-8.

Twelve seniors will graduate from the Wildcat roster, including captains Megan Plaschko, Abigail McKenzie and Brooke Peplinski. Plaschko, the starting goalkeeper for four years, also scored four goals this season on free kicks and penalty kicks and received the Class AA Ms. Soccer award. Barger and Plaschko were named Class AA first-team AllState by the coaches association, with Peplinski and Sjoberg chosen to the second team.

After reaching the state quarterfinals in 2013, Eastview went 9-27 the following four years, including 0-4 in postseason games. Others might not have expected much from the Lightning this season, but “we knew from the get-go we had a special group. We expected nothing less than to be in the state tournament,” Kamano said.

“One thing that really stood out to me was everybody getting after it in the weight room in the summer,” Kamano added.

The Lightning seniors also believe they have shown the younger classes the way to continued success, but this is not the week for legacy-building.

They’re trying to win one more game.

“If we don’t shoot ourselves in the foot I think we’ll be just fine,” Reimann said. “We have the talent and camaraderie to beat anybody in the state as long as we don’t shoot ourselves in the foot.”

Christensen blamed the suburban sweep squarely on Republican President Donald Trump.

“I think the reality is it’s a backlash against President Trump, which I find to be understandable,” Christensen said. “I haven’t been much of a supporter of President Trump. I didn’t vote for him.

And Mesko Lee was “pretty much endorsed by both our previous city managers, Craig Ebeling and Heather Johnston,” Gustafson said. He said the recommendations came through personal contacts between some council members and the two former managers.

A 1992 graduate of Burnsville High School, Mesko Lee knows this area, “and I think that’s a bonus for us,” Gustafson said.

Kautz and Kealey offered glowing comments about Hardie’s resume, breadth of experience in Burnsville and elsewhere, professional growth during her time as interim manager and high regard among city staffers.

A collection of comments from a team of de-

partment heads and two atlarge community members who interviewed the candidates is full of positive statements about Hardie.

“All of the staff feedback seems to point to she’s a phenomenal, outstanding candidate,” Kealey said. “I think she runs away with this area by a long shot.

Some of that is just simply that she has the inside track” as a current city employee. “But that’s the benefit of being the acting city manager and putting your name in the hat.”

The fond comments were a red flag for Schulz.

The “level of friendship and attachment” with Hardie is “very concerning, because a city manager is not anyone’s friend,” Schulz said. “A city manager is there to be a city manager.”

The council should hire someone from outside, she

said.

“If we have staff that are unwilling to follow a city manager that we put in place, there is a process where people can select a new opportunity for themselves,” Schulz said. “I will, of course, take everything into consideration. But our job is not to appease staff.

Our job is to pick the best city manager.”

Kautz countered that the comments show Hardie is regarded as an “authentic” and “proven” with a track record.

Before coming to Burnsville Hardie was Ramsey County’s operations manager for property records and revenue from 2011 to 2013. She’s a former operations manger for Scott County and former assistant administrator for Blue Earth County.

Her range of expertise

includes financial management acumen deeper than the other candidates’, Kautz said, noting that Hardie oversees bond-rating activities for Burnsville, an AAA-rated city.

“The depth and breadth of her knowledge base and experience far surpass the other two,” the mayor said.

“I would agree that Dana has an impressive resume,” Gustafson said.

“But what stood out for me for Melanie was her 14 years as an assistant city administrator and five as the administrator.”

ally anything, as a sign of frustration with President Trump.”

Trump “focuses frequently on what’s best for the president and what will feed the president’s ego more than any real ideology or solutions for the people, for our country,” Christensen said.

Cantrell pledged bipartisanship and openness to ideas.

“I want to ensure that when it comes to health care, when it comes to our education, that we do not pursue the Democrat idea or the Republican idea but that we pursue the solutions that are most efficacious in addressing the concerns of our community,” he said.

Without committing to a specific approach to health-care reform, Cantrell said Minnesotans shouldn’t “have to worry about dying from a treatable illness” or be burdened by the cost of care and pre-

scription drugs.

Christensen said his proudest achievement of four years in office was securing funding for a mental health center about to break ground in downtown Savage.

He also cited tax relief the Legislature passed in 2017 and elimination in state policy of the “last in, first out” rule for laying off teachers.

Mann beat Peterson 52.6 percent to 47.3 percent in 56B, which includes all of southern and part of central Burnsville and part of northern Lakeville.

“I think that people are ready, are hoping, for a politics that focuses on people and doesn’t focus on rhetoric and propaganda,” said Mann, 38, of Lakeville, a Trump critic and political newcomer who entered the DFL nominating process after Burnsville DFLer

Lindsey Port dropped out.

“And I think people want honesty in their leaders.”

The top issue she heard while door-knocking was health care, Mann said. She also hears about people’s struggles to pay medical costs in her job as a family medicine and emergency doctor for Northfield Hospital and Clinics.

“When we have to worry about things like that, it removes a certain amount of freedom from our lives,” she said. “That, I think, is not acceptable.”

Her goal of eventually attaining “comprehensive, universal coverage” could take different forms, Mann said.

“Comprehensive, universal coverage can be single-payer, it can be multitiered, it can be done by insurance mandates,” she said. “I’m open to exploring any of those options.”

She also said local taxpayers shouldn’t have to

pass referendums to support underfunded K-12 schools.

Peterson, 53, of Lakeville, said the election deepened the state’s regional partisan divide.

“It looks like the blue areas got bluer and the red areas got redder,” said Peterson, a commercial real estate agent. “The metro is becoming very Democratic and the rural areas have become more Republican. ... There are very few GOP representatives in Dakota County that are left from the last election.”

There must have been a Trump effect in the race, given all the good economic news that’s occurred on his watch, Peterson said. It wasn’t enough to stem the DFL tide.

“The issue is President Trump,” she said. “That’s the issue.” DFL voters were “more engaged” than in past midterm elections, she said.

Peterson, who has served on the House education finance and health and human services reform committees, said the House has passed a lot of legislation to reduce health care costs and increase access, some of which was vetoed

by DFL Gov. Mark Dayton.

She warned that a government-run, single-payer system would cost jobs, raise taxes and consume the state budget.

“I’m very proud and I’m very thankful and I’m very honored,” Peterson said.

“It’s been a pleasure to serve the communities. I was on the (Lakeville Area) School Board for eight years prior to this. I’ve had the honor of serving this community for 12 years. And now it’s on to somebody else to take over that job.”

“I intend to be the kind of representative who listens to everyone,” Craig said. “If we don’t look for common ground in this country we’re never going to find it. So we have to try and that’s the kind of representative I’m going to be.”

Craig criticized Lewis for not holding more town hall style meetings in the district.

Earlier this year, Lewis held three town halls in the district in one day. The events required pre-registration that was criticized.

Lewis said the process was needed in order to keep the events safe and free of incident. His office reported that Lewis received a threat prior to

the town halls.

Craig pledged that if she was elected she would hold monthly town hall style meetings in the district.

“I’m honored, I’m humbled, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to represent our district. I will never forget where I come from and who I work for,” Craig said in a statement.

Lewis, a longtime political radio talk show host, ran on a platform that the Tax Cut and Jobs Act has stimulated the economy, that more money is needed for border security, and that a repeal of the Affordable Care Act is needed.

Craig, a former vice president of human resources for St. Paul-based

St. Jude Medical, is the first Democrat to represent the 2nd District since redistricting in 2002 put all of Dakota County in 2nd.

“Tonight, 2nd District voters sent a clear message that they are ready for a leader who will break through the partisan gridlock in Washington and get results for Minnesota families,” Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) Party Chairman Ken Martin said in a statement. “Angie ran a positive campaign focused on the issues Minnesota families care about, and I can’t wait to see what she’ll accomplish for us in Congress.”

It was big night for female candidates across the

state and nation.

Women were elected to fill both Minnesota U.S. Senate seats and many other House and Senate seats across the nation.

Many of those women were also from diverse backgrounds. Craig, who is married to wife Cheryl and is the mother of four boys, will be the first lesbian to represent Minnesota in Congress, as well as the first openly LGBTQ mother to serve in Congress.

“Angie is a proven leader for LGBTQ families and her fight for custody of her son in 2000 led to a landmark ruling which made it possible for other same-sex couples to adopt,” said Stephanie Schriock, president

of Emily’s List, a political action committee that supports pro-choice Democratic women candidates. “She is a champion for equality, a fighter for health care, and an ally who will not back down when it comes to standing up against the disastrous GOP agenda.”

The 2nd District includes Dakota County, Scott, Goodhue, and Wabasha counties, along with part of northern and eastern Rice County, and southern Washington County.
