Year in Review

Lakeville continued to move forward in 2018

by Kayla Culver SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The city of Lakeville has not changed much in appearance over the past year; however, council members say the city-approved changes in 2018 will keep the city growing and moving forward.

Residents shared concerns for street construction projects set to start in 2019 including the amount the projects will cost some homeowners.

Planning began to change a two-lane county road into a four-lane roadway, which is seen as a necessary change by both city staff and community members.

Road construction is not the only area of Lakeville that will shape the upcoming years. The Lakeville Area Arts Center continued to celebrate performances and work with a variety of pieces.

The annual Pan-O-Prog event became bigger than ever with vendors expanding their spaces to welcome more visitors.

Here’s a look back at 2018 from the pages of Sun Thisweek Lakeville.

City Council members Changes are coming to 2019, as two new City Council members will take their seats at the beginning of the year, while Mayor Doug Anderson holds onto his.

Opinion Setbacks aside, Dayton did much in 8 years as governor As the administration of Gov. Tim Walz prepares to lead Minnesota for the next four years, the former congressman from Mankato will certainly face hurdles and challenges. One thing is certain for the new governor: Minnesota is much better off today than it was eight years ago.

And much of that credit has to go to DFL Gov. Mark Dayton who was first elected in 2010 and won a second term in 2014.

In an hour-long upbeat meeting in mid-December with the Adams Publishing - ECM Editorial Board, Dayton recounted his views, especially emphasizing the state’s vastly improved financial condition and the adoption of a statewide plan for four-year-olds and kindergarteners.

It has not been an eight years filled only with positives. There have been setbacks.

Minnesota still struggles to secure a stable long-term funding solution for the state’s vital transportation system. The needs continue to grow for new roads and bridges and the maintenance of the existing highway system.

Dayton is not shy in expressing disappointment and frustration over the flawed 2013 launch of MNSure, the state’s health insurance marketplace.

Improvements have been made, but its rocky start remains a disappointment to Dayton.

ECM Editorial So too is the failed reboot of the state’s 30-year-old information technology system – the Minnesota Licensing and Registration System. The initial cost estimate of $30 million to redesign the system proved inaccurate and so far more than $100 million has been invested by the state. Still, the Department of Motor Vehicle computer system remains bogged down and legislative probes are exploring why. It remains a huge problem for the new governor.

He has been stubborn, perhaps sometimes to a fault. His distaste for late-session 900-page bills packed with spending and policy resulted in vetoes and government inefficiency at inopportune times.

Some will blame Dayton but the failure, we believe, deserves to be shared by the Legislature.

As he reflects on eight years in office, Dayton can happily rattle off a long list of accomplishments that he believes will define his administration. There are many, ranging from education improvements to guiding the state from a huge budget deficit to a budget surplus.

When Dayton took office eight years ago, the state faced a $6.2 billion budget deficit and a budget reserve that was nearly empty. Complicating the finan-

cial picture was the need to repay school districts $1.8 billion that had been borrowed during the Pawlenty administration. Under Dayton’s leadership, the state’s financial position turned around thanks to fiscal management and a recovering economy. The budget deficit is now a $1.5 billion surplus and the budget reserve entering 2019 is $2 billion.

The debt owed school districts was repaid by 2013.

The state’s economy has flourished under Dayton’s time in office. Eight years ago more than 200,000 state residents did not have jobs and the unemployment rate was 6.9 percent. Today, the unemployment rate is at a 19-year low of 2.8 percent and unemployment has been at or below 4 percent for the past 52 months. Since 201, Minnesota added more than 300,000 jobs, meaning the state now has 2.98 million jobs, the most in history.

The state’s fiscal health has rebounded with tax reductions and increases. Dayton kept a campaign promise to increase taxes by 2 percent on the wealthiest 2 percent of Minnesotans while not raising income taxes on 98 percent of Minnesotans.

Dayton believes education will remain his signature achievement. He worked tirelessly to boost per pupil funding and close the equity gap that shortchanged greater Minnesota schools for years.

His goal of achieving all-day kindergar-

ten for all public school students is near complete as 99.6 percent of kids are enrolled in all-day programs at no tuition charge. Early-learning opportunities for kids younger than kindergarten have been launched. Dayton believes the stage is set for more kids to get a better start on school and life.

The list of accomplishments is long and impact lives today and in the future.

What should not be forgotten is Dayton’s chosen life path of public service. Born to a family of wealth, Dayton’s life could have been far different. He chose service, first as a public school teacher in New York City before returning home for a career in politics. His record is laudable.

Dayton’s career has included service as state auditor, U.S. senator and governor. Few Minnesotans have achieved as much.

It is regretful that a health setback and an extended stay at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester this fall prevented Dayton from one last state tour. He would have loved the opportunity to see firsthand the positives of the past eight years. As citizen Mark Dayton moves into retirement we wish him improved health, a fulfilling future and offer a tip-of-the-hat for a job well done.

Letters Perpetual motion again To the editor: In the Dec. 21 edition, two writers responded to my letter (“Perpetual Motion,” Dec. 14) and point out one significant error.

Unfortunately, in the process, they seem to have

made three.

My error was in believing that the tax (called a “fee”) was to be collected from the power companies, for burning coal or natural gas. They correctly say this would be collected at the wellhead or mine head. Their first error is admitting this will, just

as I said, raise electricity prices, but that it will raise gasoline prices as well!

Assuming that government can redistribute all of this tax money with absolutely no overhead cost, and based on every individual’s increased costs (as would be fair), the error is to assume that consumers

would “choose clean products.” They would have no incentive, and worse, no choice. Government mandates that power companies build and sell solar and wind power, but if those energy sources were the best value, the mandates (and taxes) would be unnecessary. People would readily choose them.

Not everyone can choose a new electric car, either, nor do we have

enough electrical capacity. Google engineers, hoping to profit from the “green power revolution,” researched for four years and concluded it would take 40 years and a currently-unknown technology to convert to carbon free electricity.

The biggest error, though very frequently made, is to assume that reducing CO2 somehow prevents Catastrophic Cli-

mate Change. Yet, according to data from the IPCC and the EPA, even radical reductions to U.S. manmade CO2 will result in a near-negligible change to global temperatures – less than 0.4 degrees – over the next 100 years. Perpetual motion? Sounds like just spinning the wheels.

Opinion Veterans not forgotten in rolling ministry

by Don Heinzman SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Every Saturday morning, not just on holidays, a group from the Knights of Columbus gives a “gift” to hospitalized veterans at the VA Hospital in Minneapolis.

These Knights, from the Marian Council in the southwest metro area, steer 60 veterans in wheelchairs from their rooms to a large meeting room chapel, where they participate in a Catholic Mass. Spouses also wheel their husbands to this special service.

Afterward, they wheel the veterans back to their rooms and disassemble the temporary altar.

Joe Novak, the coordinator from Assumption parish, Richfield, has been

Staff Columnist Don Heinzman involved in this “wheeling ministry” for 20 years and has been leading it since 2011.

Novak has a roster of 15 Knights whom he calls on every Saturday. In addition, once a month Novak coordinates a special ecumenical communion service to which the veterans are wheeled back and forth.

On Nov. 18, Novak, along with Deacon Jack Weiland and assistant Yvonne Macko, arranged for Archbishop Ber-

nard Hebda, of the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis, to say a special Mass for the veterans. The Minnesota Knights of Columbus Men’s Choir sang the hymns. Macko, of Lakeville, has been assisting this weekly ministry for 18 1/2 years.

Before the Mass, the archbishop praised this ministry.

“This is tremendous,” he said. “It shows these veterans they are not forgotten.”

Garbed in green, the archbishop greeted veterans as he prepared to celebrate Mass.

In his sermon he noted that this special celebration was spaced between Veterans Day and Thanksgiving Day. “We want to give thanks to these men for all of they have accomplished,” he

said.

Referring to the gospel reading, the archbishop assured the men they would be welcomed at the gates of heaven for their lives of service.

Among the crowd were spouses. Mary Ann Kupfer-Schmidt, of Little Canada, sat proudly next to her husband, Bernie, 92, a veteran of World War II. “We are thrilled to be here,” she said and praised the care he receives at the VA Hospital.

Novak, who is not a veteran, says he and the Knights carry out this weekly “wheeling” because “these men fought for us.”

Letters Orange Line BRT good for businesses To the editor: The Federal Transit Authority recently announced that the Orange Line BRT (bus rapid transit) will receive $74 million in federal grant funds, putting the project on track to be completed by 2021.

This is exciting news for the cities of Burnsville and

Richfield, particularly for our business communities.

The Orange Line will cover 17 miles along I35W and link the headquarters of Target Corp. in downtown Minneapolis, Best Buy in Richfield, the Southtown Shopping Center in Bloomington, and Burnsville’s Heart of the City. This will transform the travel experience

for tens of thousands who travel this corridor daily to get to work, school and entertainment options.

A viable transit option means fewer cars on the road, faster commute times, fewer accidents and greater access to opportunities throughout the region.

Dedicated transit lines have been shown to spur

economic development, with the Minneapolis-St. Paul region having seen nearly $8 billion in investment along light rail and BRT corridors. The Orange Line will not only connect our residents to more employment opportunities, but will also create many jobs.

As mayors of collectively more than 95,000

residents, we support investment in a comprehensive, multimodal transportation system. While the Orange Line is only a piece of a broader transportation network that has been underinvested in, it is a great step toward creating greater connectivity in our region.

In the upcoming legislative session, our legisla-

tors must make transit and transportation investment a top priority.

Stuff the Bus fundraiser collects over 3,300 pounds The third annual MVTA Stuff the Bus charity fundraiser reached its finish line Dec. 9, collecting more than 3,300 pounds of donations. Riders and residents demonstrated impressive generosity supporting the two-week charitable endeavor from Nov. 27 through Dec. 9.

All the contributions collected supported two local nonprofit organizations, 360 Communities and CAP Agency, helping an expansive network of recipients in need.

Minnesota Valley Transit Authority and Schmitty & Sons Transit Company organized the fundraiser. Specially marked buses, labeled “Stuff the Bus,” were parked at transit stations

and local grocery stores in Dakota and Scott counties, and a collection barrel was placed inside Burnsville Transit Station.

MVTA riders and the public were encouraged to drop off nonperishable food items and cash donations at the locations.

“We want to thank the community for making this year’s fundraiser an unbelievable success. We are beyond grateful for the unprecedented turnout,” said Richard Crawford, MVTA public information manager.

“All donations collected will directly benefit the local community. The public, and our riders and staff, went out of their way to be of help to their neighbors and fellow residents this holiday season.”

MVTA plans to increase its charitable giving campaigns.

Discussions are ongoing for adding a “Stuff the Bus” event when the school year comes to a close as food shelves are also in critical need of donations that time of year.

Education National STEM Excellence Award Apple Valley High School is one of three finalists vying for the national Future of Education Technology Conference 2019 STEM Excellence Award in the high school category. Now in its 39th year, the award recognizes schools’ innovative approaches to implementing science, technology, engineering and math education.

“STEM education is, and will continue to be, an essential component in 21st century schools, preparing students for the careers of today and tomorrow,” Jennifer Womble, program chair of FETC, said in a press release announcing the

dents in family and consumer sciences courses can design and build furnishings. Students in English courses explore new ways to create promotional and marketing materials. And students in math courses learn about tessellations by creating 3D prototypes on a laser engraver.

Support from the grant also enabled the school to implement a career counseling system that helps students navigate possible college and career options.

Over the last four years, Apple Valley High has become a thriving STEM-focused school, and with the support of the YouthConnect grant, has provided access for all students and increased participation in programs that prepare students for success in the

21st century workplace.

“These core STEM skills of communications, creative problem solving, critical thinking and collaboration are critical skills all of our employer partners are telling us they are seeking in future employees,” Lynch said.

“With support of our community partners, I see a dramatically enhanced career counseling system that serves all Apple Valley students to help them gain a clearer perspective and plan for their future upon graduation.”

The winners of the 2019 STEM Excellence Awards in the elementary, middle school and high school categories will be announced during the conference in Orlando Jan. 27-30.

In 2014, District 196 received nearly $3 million through a federal YouthConnect grant from the U.S. departments of education and labor. The grant allowed Apple Valley High to forge partnerships with local, national and global organizations and implement its E3 STEM program focusing on STEM exploration, education and employment. The program has expanded students’ opportunities in hands-on, real-world learning and

provided critical exposure to a STEM career pathway. Most notably, the grant funded the creation of Apple Valley’s fabrication lab, or “fab lab.”

“The fab lab has played a key role in helping us establish our ‘STEM for All’ philosophy by integrating its use into an increasing number of our courses,” said Jim Lynch, E3 STEM program manager. “Learning becomes so much more authentic when students can design and produce products that can be used by others in the real world.”

Because of the fab lab, more students are interested in STEM courses, Lynch said, adding that it serves as a bridge connecting students with varied educational passions. Stu-

Dakota County awarded for innovative tuberculosis treatment Dakota County has been recognized for its innovative approach to treating tuberculosis.

The county’s Public Health Department recently received the 2019 Local Government Innovation Award from the University of Minnesota’s Humphrey School of Public Affairs. The award recognizes a new program called Video Directly Observed Therapy, which allows nurses and community health workers to remotely help TB patients treat the bacterial disease.

The program is the first of its kind in Minnesota.

TB can be treated if patients take medications for six to 12 months. Without treatment completion, TB can spread and drug-resistant strains can emerge. The standard of care is daily administration of medication by nurses called directly observed therapy. Using telemedicine for TB patient treatment allows nurses to complete the process through video check-ins, instead of traveling daily to meet patients.

Dakota County has found cost savings and high patient and provider satisfaction with videoassisted therapy. A threemonth pilot period saw $1,750 in savings based on the first five clients to utilize video check-ins. A one-year cost analysis is also planned.

Dakota County has seen other benefits to the innovative program. Clients surveyed at the end of treatment rated the program highly. One TB patient said: “I could do it anytime in a day. That made it easier for me to manage my schedule.�

Video-assisted therapy allows clients to choose when to take medications, including in the early morning or evening. Nurses and health workers have had a positive response to the program because their schedule is more flexible and they can manage an increased caseload.

Dakota County averages 10 active TB cases per year. The disease is still common in other countries around the world.

BBB warns of phony quilt company scam Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota warns consumers of a fraudulent quilt selling scheme this holiday season.

Reports have come in from all over the country about a company, claiming to operate out of Oregon under the name Amelia Cotton Quilt Company, that is not delivering the products consumers think they are

purchasing.

Hundreds of people, including several from Minnesota and North Dakota, say they have paid for quilts that they never received.

Most of the consumers report trying to purchase them through a Facebook ad that directs them to the website www.Ameliacotton10.com. Amelia Cotton Quilt Company is not

registered with the Oregon Secretary of State’s Office, and its business address is a private residence in Salem.

One victim in Minnesota said they purchased three quilts from a Facebook ad in late November for about $180. They reported to BBB’s Scam Tracker that the tracking number was fake and the website they purchased

the quilts from has disappeared.

Amelia Cotton Quilt Company is believed to now be using the website www.sleepoius.co.

Other names and websites to watch out for are: Weirdo Stuff, Kathleen Quilt, Ducha, Emacotton, Amelia Quilt, Amelia Cotton, Ecrafta, EMA Cotton, Elsie Quilt, Uscrafta,

Cotton Blanket, Elsie May Quilt, USA Crafta, ARA Cotton, Umovietee, Joyce Quilt, weirdostuff. net, emmacotton09.com, Amelia-quilt.com, bellaquilt.net, aracotton.com, hellodobo.com, uscrafta. com, emmacotton13.com, bellaquilt.com, emacotton. com, ameliacotton10.com, duhuquilt.com and emastore10.com.

BBB encourages consumers who have lost money in this kind of scam to file a complaint with BBB, to contact their bank and to report it to local law enforcement. Consumers who have not lost money may submit a report through BBB Scam Tracker.

Year in Review REVIEW, from 1A ty taxes on a median value home, $307,400, will increase approximately $75 over 2018. Increasing residential property values are contributing to the rise in taxes even as the city’s tax capacity rate drops.

A $1 million commercial property is experiencing approximately a $1,212 decrease in the city portion of property taxes, accord- Bart Davis ing to the city. The city reported that, in the aggregate, commercial market values decreased by 14.6 percent.

The city also approved allowing residents to keep chickens on their properties. According to City Planning Directory Daryl Morey, in order for property owners to have chickens on their properties, they must apply for a onetime administrative permit and comply with the performance standards. There is a one-time permit fee of $100.

Road construction The County Road 50 (Kenwood Trail) road construction project from 185th Street to Dodd Boulevard was completed in 2018.

The project converted the road into a four-lane section with a raised median and turn lanes. The four-lanes were set to improve safety and capacity, according to the city.

Pedestrian and bike paths are set to be constructed along both sides of County Road 50.

Plans to turn County Road 70 into a four-lane divided roadway began with a open house Dec. 6. The city of Lakeville and Dakota County are working together on the project, which includes constructing turn lanes at major intersections, improving drainage, managing access and replacing traffic signals.

According to the city of Lakeville Engineer, Zach Johnson, benefits to the projects include adding traffic capacity to industrial areas, reducing delays, improving drainage and stormwater management as well as pedestrian and bicycle accommodations.

is secured, he said. The “ice plant” is a room where the compressors and chiller barrel are located and keep the ice frozen.

Ratcliff said rink one at Ames currently has two leaks, but the leaks have been manageable in the past.

One rink at Ames is 24 years old, and rink two was added 19 years ago.

According to Ratcliff, the life expectancy for the mechanics behind keeping the ice frozen without any major issues is 20 to 25 years.

No decisions have been finalized and the time frame for construction has also not been decided, according to Ratcliff.

Heritage Library The Dakota County Heritage Library celebrated reading while working toward creating more avid readers during it’s OneBook, OneLakeville event.

The event is a community reading program that promotes discussing and learning from a common book. This year was the program’s 10th anniversary, and the chosen book was “Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and Birth of the FBI”

by David Grann.

Library staff and community members worked with local sponsors to bring the events together.

The Lakeville Area Arts Center helped sponsor the events and showcased historical Native American pictures from the Oklahoma History Center.

As the year comes to a

close, the Heritage Library is under renovation as well as the License Center.

Lakeville City Hall is currently the interim location of the library and license center. Construction on the library began Monday, Nov. 5, and Nov. 10 at the license center.

According to Dakota County Library Director Margaret Stone, Dakota County looks at each of its facilities on a rotating schedule and when it was time to look at the Heritage Library, needed improvements were noticed.

According to the needs assessment, larger public meeting rooms and spaces, a bigger children’s area, more acoustic separation, an automated materialshandling system and a larger license center are all aspects of the library and license center that needed to be improved. The county agreed to make those changes.

Construction is expected to go through Summer 2019.

Airlake Airport An ordinance annexing approximately 119 acres of Airlake Airport from Eureka Township into the city was approved. The Metropolitan Airports Commission made the request to allow for growth and for the airport to receive city water and sewer.

The airport originally planned to expand the runway from 4,099 feet to 5,000 feet and has expressed interest in building more hangars. According to MAC Director of Reliever Airports Gary Schmidt, they are now planning on adding pavement onto each end of the runway.

During the public forum held on Jan. 2, residents of Lakeville, Eureka Township and Farmington brought up their concerns to the council and MAC. One area of concern was questioning how much more land of Eureka Township will the city of Lakeville annex and how the changes to the runway will affect those who use

those roads daily.

According to Schmidt, the addition of the runway causes part 225th Street to become part of a safety area. The east end of 225th between Highview and Cedar Avenue would require some relocation.

Ames Arena Legislation to secure $1.65 million in bonding funds for the Lakeville Ames Hockey Arena was introduced by Sen. Matt Little, DFL-Lakeville, in March.

According to a statement released by Little, the funds will be used to make upgrades and improvements to the operational efficiencies, support local hockey programs and improve customer experiences.

People held signs saying “Say Nay to the NRA,” “Sensible Gun Laws Now” and “Give a Hoot.”

Lakeville celebrated another year of the annual Panorama of Progress festival. From July 4-15 downtown Lakeville and other various spots became places where people gathered to enjoy music, games, food, drinks and the company of friends and family. The fireworks show kicked off the events with music and entertainment at Lakeville North.

The Miss Lakeville Scholarship Pageant crowned new royalty. Beer Brats and Bingo expanded throughout the Lakeville Area Arts Center to accommodate the high demand for bingo. The Pet Show had children and their pets of all shapes and sizes show off their unique features and costumes. The grand parade was another highlight of the festival. Floats from local businesses, Lakeville school athletics and marching bands as well as others from around the area made their way down Holyoke Avenue passing out candy, can cozies and more candy. The carnival ran through the entire weekend and featured rides for all ages and food stands similar to the state fair. The street fair and craft sale also ran throughout the entire festival. The variety of goods came from vendors all over the Twin Cities area.

‘I have the best district’ Maye Quade reflects on state House term

by Patty Dexter SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

District 57A Rep. Erin Maye Quade recently reflected on her first term as a state lawmaker, saying “I think I have the best district in the state, and I’m just honored to have represented the community that raised me.”

Maye Quade, whose term ends at the end of December, will be done with serving in a public office for now. She’ll be starting a new job next month with an organization dedicated to addressing gender inequity.

On Dec. 19, St. Paulbased Gender Justice announced on Twitter that Maye Quade had hired as its new advocacy director.

Gender Justice is a “is a nonprofit legal and policy advocacy organization devoted to addressing the causes and consequences of gender inequality, both locally and nationally,” according to its website.

“Erin is an established leader and outspoken advocate, whose record of fighting for women and LGBTQ Minnesotans dovetails with our mission of gender equity,” the Dec. 19 tweet said.

Maye Quade begins working in her new role on Jan. 2. As advocacy director, she’ll be working on engagement and education.

“Providing that gender equity lens to the work that is happening in Minnesota is going to be crucial as we talk about the Paid Family Leave Act. That’s a huge priority of Gov. (Tim) Walz, which I love. I love being part of that conversation,” she said.

She was not on the ballot for the District 57A House race in the fall after she became state Sen. Erin Murphy’s running mate during the DFL gubernatorial primary.

The Murphy ticket lost to 1st District U.S. Rep. Tim Walz and state Rep. Peggy Flanagan, DFLSt. Louis Park, who beat Republican challengers Jeff Johnson, a Hennepin County commissioner, and his running mate Donna Bergstrom, a retired Marine Corps intelligence officer, in November. District 57A includes a portion of southern Apple Valley and a northeast portion of Lakeville.

“I’m not going any-

where. So we’ll continue to do work together,” she said during a recent interview.

“I thank (constituents) for their engagement and just being high information folks; that they know what they want to talk to me about and they don’t just bring problems – they bring solutions.”

Before getting elected to the state House, Maye Quade worked on campaigns for former President Barack Obama, outgoing Gov. Mark Dayton and Attorney Generalelect Keith Ellison when he was running for congress; as a policy staffer in Ellison’s office and in retail management. Maye Quade, a 2004 Eastview High School graduate, is married and lives in Apple Valley.

Reflecting on House term Maye Quade made headlines throughout her term.

In early 2017, she came forward with allegations of sexual harassment by former state Sen. Dan Schoen, DFL-St. Paul, and former Rep. Tony Cornish, R-Vernon Center. Schoen and Cornish both eventually resigned.

She said the harassment came through text messages, whispers on the House floor and comments at legislator events.

“At the start I was nervous that it would become a partisan conversation, that it would only be bad if someone in the other party did it, but then if it was in your own it wasn’t bad,” she recalled. “Which is why I decided to come forward about a senator in my own party first.”

A recent survey of Minnesota House employees indicated that nearly 20 percent of House employees and House members witnessed or experienced sexually harassing behavior in the workplace, according to Minnesota House of Representatives Public Information Services.

Maye Quade said the narrative is starting to shift and she’s glad the survey occurred. However, if it’s addressed as an issue at the Capitol, the larger reason of why it happens will be missed.

“There has to be a long look at how we protect people in public spaces,” she said.

Maye Quade also

gained widespread attention for a 24-hour sit-in she held on the House floor in April out of frustrations for a lack of action by lawmakers on gun legislation. She and others called for expanded background checks and ways people could legally restrict a loved one’s gun access temporarily.

When asked about what accomplishments she’s proud of, Maye Quade noted that she was the only DFL first-term legislator on the Job Growth and Energy Affordability Policy and Finance Committee. She also served on the Energy Innovation Policy and Veterans Affairs Division committees.

Maye Quade said child hunger is an important issue to her. She started the Child Hunger Caucus to address the issue that led her to run for office in the first place.

“It was a coalition of nonprofits and corporations and school districts and legislators all geared toward ending hunger, looking at the root causes and figuring out what we can do about it,” she said.

Maye Quade said she intends to pass on the caucus for the next term, but she’s waiting to get hear from two legislators who are interested. She added she wants to continue working on child hunger by making sure organizations like Hunger Solutions, Second Harvest Heartland, Sheridan Story and Feed My Starving Children continue to have the volunteer work “we’re using right now to BandAid the issue.”

Maye Quade said she was proud that bills she worked on about the renewable energy standard, making changes to property tax exemptions for veterans and education were able to pass.

Lieutenant governor run Maye Quade said she decided to be Murphy’s running mate because what affects one community affects all communities. She was interested in looking at legislative issues on a statewide level. It was an honor to run with Murphy and meet people from all over the state who were concerned about the same things, she said.

“I just want to make sure when I have a kid someday and they say,

‘Mom what did you do when our democracy was under threat?’ my answer wasn’t something safe,” she said. “It was, I took our bold vision and I stepped up to lead.”

Maye Quade she would consider possibly being a candidate for a public office again in the future, but

she doesn’t want to run just to run.

“I want to run for a position I’m passionate Photo by Patty Dexter about, for a set of issues District 57A Rep. Erin I’m passionate about,” she Maye Quade’s term in said. the state House ends at the end of the month.

Bringing two worlds together Minnesota director shoots latest movie in Lakeville

by Kayla Culver SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

United Products was once home to a building materials, hardware and lumber store for those looking to improve their homes or build a new one.

The building now has a new owner with plans to turn it into a storage facility, but before the renovation it was transformed into the set for the upcoming movie “The Soviet Sleep Experiment.”

The movie, directed by Minnesota native Barry Andersson, focuses on the urban legend that exists online about a sleep deprivation study performed in the late 1940s Soviet Union. According to the urban legend, Soviet researchers kept four patients awake for 30 days using an experimental gasbased stimulant. Subjects and the researchers were cut off from the world during the experiment.

Andersson said that even though the study cannot be proven, he was drawn to showing how people react if they are cut off from the ability to research or the ability to verify what happens. An interest in psychological thrillers and making movies came at an early age for Andersson.

“I knew ever since I was 10 years old that I wanted to make movies. … If you’re from the Midwest it isn’t as common. It’s an abstract art form. …

There are a lot of people in town that want to make Minnesota films and build a community. I’m more I want to create projects whether that’s here or somewhere else,” he said.

Director Barry Andersson (right) and production director Crist Ballas working next to the chamber where the characters in their upcoming movie “The Soviet Sleep Experiment” spend their time enclosed as they undergo a sleep experiment. The chamber and the rest of the set was built in a open warehouse in Lakeville.

“The Soviet Sleep Experiment” is Andersson’s fifth movie and its focus on becoming a psychological thriller came together with some direction from the writer, Michael Patrick McCaffrey, producer Sara Leeper and producer, production designer and makeup head Crist Ballas as well as other crew members and cast.

The entire set was built in the open warehouse in Lakeville. The chamber was designed by Ballas. The movie shows the four subjects encased in the chambers, which resembles a decompression chamber, according to Andersson.

“We originally thought the chamber would be bigger, almost like a big room where they would

disappear into the lurks like a prison cell. When we started thinking about it, our budget level, trying to make it more visually impactful … and how we can create an environment that almost puts the actors in a position to then kind of feel the way they would have felt in the experiment,” Andersson said.

Many of the other props were taken from Ballas’ home due to the fact that his home decor resembles the look and feel of the 1940s Andersson was going for in the movie. Ballas also gave each subject their looks for the film. He has previously worked on multiple television shows and movies including “Batman & Robin,” “Star Trek” and “Collateral Damage.”

Ballas decided becoming a makeup artist for movies and television was his path in life after watching “Frankenstein” as a child. Even though Frankenstein’s monster scared him, he decided he wanted to learn everything about the monster. When he learned the monster was only scary due to his makeup, he knew that’s what he wanted to do.

While working on “The Soviet Sleep Experiment” he approached the design and looks of the characters by focusing on how their looks and atmosphere drive the story and their characters.

“He’s amazing. He’s able to take a small indie film and make it look like a bigger budgeted project,” actor Michael Villar

by Rafal Zawierucha, who just stepped off of Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming film “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.” Dr. Anna Antonoff is played by Argentina native Eva De Dominici and Capt. Yegor Sokolov is played by Russia native Evgeny Krutov.

Keeping the actors’ international accents in the film was intentional as well as casting comedic actors to play dramatic roles, according to Andersson.

“We thought instead of getting everyone mad that we have bad accents, we gave everyone authentic accents, so when they try to shift every once in awhile, people won’t worry about it,” he said. “I’ve always said comedic actors can perform better in drama than dramatic actors. We were looking for someone like Chris Kattan, who would bring something interesting to the film.”

Kattan and all the other cast and crew members made an open warehouse in Lakeville part of their dream to make their project come to the big screen for a few weeks this winter. A release date will be set after a distributor is found, according to Andersson.

“We’re taking that building that went out of business and bringing it back to life. They’re going to turn the building into a mini storage space in a couple months, so our existence will be erased, but it will be immortalized with this movie,” he said.

said.

Villar plays Subject 4 in the movie and said the role is interesting because he was able to speak with people who stayed up for four days for research.

Subject 6 actor and Minnesota native Paul Cram agreed this is an interesting role for him. Cram was brought in two days before he needed to be in front of the camera, which was an exciting challenge for him.

“It’s an exciting adventure digesting the script and character and turning it around quickly. I think Subject 6 is a bit of a mousy character compared to the rest of the bunch,” Cram said.

Election sends new representation to office Five local first-term DFLers elected to U.S. and state House seats

by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Midterm elections often bring electoral change that’s counter to the party with power in the White House.

In 2018, DFL candidates won the four of Minnesota’s constitutional offices with only one incumbent, tilted control of the state House in their favor, won two U.S. Senate seats and ousted two incumbent Republicans in the U.S. House.

President Donald Trump visited Minnesota twice during the campaign with rallies in Duluth and Rochester, the latter of which Trump was invited by 2nd District U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis to stump on his behalf.

The president’s presence in Minnesota helped Republicans win two open U.S. House seats, but two GOP Republicans lost, as two state representatives serving the Burnsville area cited a negative impression of Trump as a factor in their Election Day losses.

Dakota County gave 2nd District Democratic candidate Angie Craig, of Eagan, a wide margin that helped her defeat Lewis, of Woodbury, 52.6 to 47.1 percent. He was seeking a second term.

In the Sun Thisweek and Dakota County Tribune coverage area, House seat totals went from a 5-3 advantage for Republicans to 6-2 in favor of DFLers, as three Republican incumbents lost and DFLers won an open seat in 57A. “I believe that Tim Walz’s One Minnesota was an absolute winner in Minnesota,” said DFL 57A candidate Robert Bierman, of Apple Valley. “People wanted to hear more about inclusion and unity. The divisive tone was getting overwhelming. (U.S. Sen.) Amy Klobuchar’s bipartisan approach has always been popular here and she proved it once again at the ballot box.

And (U.S. Senate candidate) Tina Smith was a good adjunct to that. Angie Craig changed her approach from the last cycle and found a real connection in the 2nd District. She focused on her own story and left Jason Lewis to his own devices. It was encouraging for me to run with such a strong Democratic ticket.”

Prospects for a DFL wave in Minnesota didn’t look so promising a few months before the election.

The DFL didn’t settle on a gubernatorial or a 57A candidate until the primary election on Aug. 14.

When it did, it chose the unendorsed ticket of Tim Walz and Peggy Flanagan, which won over the endorsed pairing

Angie Craig won the 2nd District U.S. House seat in her second try. She defeated U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis, R-Woodbury, by a 52.6-47.1 percent margin.

Photo by Tad Johnson

John Huot of Rosemount was one of the DFL candidates in the local coverage area to defeat an incumbent Republican. The other DFL winners on election night were Hunter Cantrell in House District 56A (Burnsville-Savage) and Alice Mann in House District 56B (Burnsville-Lakeville). of state Sen. Erin Murphy and state Rep. Erin Maye Quade, of Apple Valley.

Quade’s absence from the 57A race, which was announced June 3, meant that Bierman didn’t file until close to the June 5 deadline. With four others filing to run, he didn’t have a full campaign apparatus running until after he won the primary.

“Even with the shorter than normal timeline, Robert ended as one of the top door-knockers in the entire state,” said Bierman campaign manager Ted York. “He also had a core group of volunteers who were knocking doors seven days a week. So the success we had came from both volunteer recruitment and a determined dedication from those volunteers.”

Other candidates in the Sun

Thisweek and Dakota County Tribune coverage area also cited strong volunteer and doorknocking campaigns in helping them to victory.

In addition to Bierman winning the open seat in 57A by a 54.53 to 42.2 advantage over Matt Lundin (Libertarian Party candidate), Matthew Swenson finished with 3.2 percent), three DFL candidates ousted incumbent Republicans.

High voter turnout played a role in wins for DFL House candidates John Huot (Apple Valley-Rosemunt 57B), Hunter Cantrell (Burnsville-Savage 56A), and Alice Mann (Burnsville-Lakeville 56B).

Huot received 552 more votes in 2018 than he did in his 2016 contest against state Rep. Anna Wills, R-Rosemount, as

she received 2,005 fewer votes than she did in 2016. He won 51.90 to 48.06 percent.

Mann earned 130 fewer votes than the DFL’s 2016 candidate Lindsey Port, but state Rep. Roz Peterson, R-Lakeville, saw her support slip by 2,201 votes.

Mann won 52.64 to 47.28 percent.

Cantrell was elected behind a 3,754 vote swing from 2016 in defeating Rep. Drew Christensen, R-Savage. Cantrell won 52.74 to 47.13 percent.

Bierman said disappointment with politics in general and President Donald Trump in particular motivated volunteers and voters that went for DFL candidates.

“Although the president does not directly affect our local policies to a large extent, there was

a decided disappointment with the divisive nature of his politics and his rhetoric,” Bierman said. “Even some Republicans had had enough by the time this election came about.

“People often would just shake their head when his name came up. Oh, to be sure, there are still hard core supporters of the president in our district, but when it comes to independents, he lost ground,” Bierman said.

In a story in this newspaper after the election, Christensen blamed the suburban sweep on 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. People were going to walk into the voting booth and vote for Democrats all down the ticket, regardless of really 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.

Peterson said there must have been a Trump effect in the race, given all the good economic news that’s occurred on his watch.

“The issue is President Trump,” she said in the newspaper’s story after the election.

“That’s the issue.”

Some incumbents were immune to the shifting political wins.

State Rep. Pat Garofalo, R-Farmington, was elected to serve his eighth term over DFLer Marla Vagts, Farmington, 58.72 to 41.18 percent, in House District 58B. State Rep. Jon Koznick, RLakeville, will serve his third term after defeating DFLer Maggie Williams, Lakeville, 55.68 to 44.25 percent, in House District 58A. The largest margin of victory during the night locally went to State Rep. Laurie Halverson, DFL-Eagan, who defeated Republican Douglas Willetts, Eagan, 62.18 to 37.74 percent, in House District 51B. State Rep. Sandra Masin, DFL-Eagan, defeated Republican Jim Kiner, Burnsville, 61.42 to 38.52 percent, in House District 51A. Masin has been in the House for six non-consecutive terms – 2007-2010 (District 38A); House 2013-present (District 51A).

Halverson was elected to her fourth term.

Sports 2018 in review:Wide-ranging sports success in Lakeville

Photo by Brian Flanary

Lakeville North’s RaJa Nelson fights off an attempted tackle during the Panthers’ 28-21 victory over Eden Prairie at the Prep Bowl. The Class 6A title was the Panthers’ first state championship in 15 years.

by Mike Shaughnessy While a lot of attention went to playoff runs engineered by Lakeville’s two high school football teams, they were not the only stories of sports success in the community in 2018.

In this edition of Sun Thisweek, we look back at the year:

led by University of Nebraska commit Bryce Benhart and Minnesota State Mankato-bound Jack Hansen helped Brian Curtis Jr. set a school singleseason record for rushing yardage. Curtis and Nelson were key playmakers, and Eli Mostaert and his twin brother Will made an impact on both sides as defensive ends and blocking tight ends.

Panther perfection

South spikers survive

Lakeville North completed a 13-0 season – and won the school’s first state football championship in 15 years – by defeating Eden Prairie 28-21 in the Class 6A title game at the Prep Bowl.

The Panthers finished 13-0 and only two of those games were decided by fewer than 10 points.

Lakeville North trailed Eden Prairie twice in the first half at the Prep Bowl but came back to tie it 2121 at halftime. In the second half North held Eden Prairie to 78 yards and forced a turnover, with Eli Mostaert causing and recovering a fumble that led to RaJa Nelson’s go-ahead touchdown run.

A big, talented line

If you traveled to Rochester for the Class 3A, Section 1 final, you got to see one of the best volleyball matches of the 2018 season. Lakeville South defeated Lakeville North 30-28, 21-25, 2519, 19-25, 18-16 to earn its second trip to the state tournament in three years.

If you did the arithmetic, you found that each team scored 113 points.

On match point, defending state champion Lakeville North appeared to have tied the score, but the Cougars’ Jasmine Weidemann saved the ball with her foot, keeping it in play. Seconds later, South won the point and ended the match.

One of the most unexpected stories of the 2018 high school football season was Lakeville South’s playoff success. Through the first six weeks of the regular season the Cougars were 1-5 and little more than an afterthought. Then they caught fire.

Before the season, Lakeville South changed offenses, switching to a run-oriented, deceptionbased attack that had been successful for Elk River. In Week 7, it started producing big plays. South routed Shakopee and Farmington in the final two weeks of the regular season and the strong play continued with victories over CretinDerham Hall, Champlin Park and Woodbury in the Photo by Jim Lindquist/sidekick.smugmug.com playoffs.

Two for Trepanier Lakeville North’s Andrew Trepanier has been one of the top freestyle sprinters in Class AA boys swimming for several years, but in 2018 earned his first state individual championships.

Trepanier won the 50yard freestyle in 20.46 seconds, edging Elk River’s Zack Kopp. He won the 100 freestyle in 44.52.

Both are automatic AllAmerica times.

Both times also are within fractions of a second from the state meet records, which Trepanier can chase this season as a senior.

At Rosemount High School, a simple “Hello, how are you?” goes a long way to making someone’s day.

“It’s gratifying and rewarding when students are greeting me when they see me in the hallways or when I see them in classrooms,” said Principal Pete Roback, who’s been in his new role since July.

“It’s a very small piece, but it’s so important.”

Usually it’s the adults who take the initiative in the greetings, but creating a culture where teachers, staff and students each care about the success and wellbeing of others is what the school has been working on since the beginning of the academic year.

Being a place where everyone knows your name might sound impossible in a school of 2,342 teenagers and dozens of staff members, but Roback has high expectations.

Ever since he went from being the assistant principal at Falcon Ridge Middle School and came back to Rosemount where he previously was a teacher, coach and administrator, Roback has been working with administrators to lay the foundation of creating a positive culture and learning environment where students can achieve academic success.

PRINCIPAL, from 20A supportive community.â&#x20AC;?

He said he has been working with principals Tom Idstrom at the elementary school and Eric Hansen at the middle school on joint efforts like emphasizing the Irish Way Values of the Month.

Roback said creating those K-12 connections among the schools shows students where their future paths will lead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is something special about that,â&#x20AC;? he said.

He said it is also unusual for a suburban school to have such a rich history and tradition.

That history was celebrated when the class of 2017 became the 100th in Rosemount High Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history.

History is apparent in a tangible way in Rosemount schools as the first high school building is still in use as a portion of Rosemount Middle School.

He said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rewarding to see that sense of community and pride play out with children wearing Rosemount Irish clothing knowing that some day they will be at the high school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have families who

grew up here and have stayed here for generations,â&#x20AC;? Roback said.

Roback knows this well, as his family lives in Rosemount. His two children are in 10th and seventh grade in Rosemount schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have this tradition, and we are proud of it,â&#x20AC;?

Roback said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We honor and celebrate it. But, yes, we are focused on moving forward, too. We are focused on positive change.â&#x20AC;?

Roback, a 1991 Anoka High School graduate, was assistant principal at RHS for 10 years from 2003-13.

Previous to that he was a special education teacher and coach for three years.

His life took a turn in 2013 when he became an administrator at the International School in Bangkok, Thailand.

He said the experience allowed him to look at education in different ways and with a worldview.

His work in Thailand was helpful too as he went through the â&#x20AC;&#x153;intenseâ&#x20AC;? hiring process for RHS principal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had some different experiences,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My life away from Rosemount for two years overseas made me a better leader and a better perspective

on what other things look like. That served me well.â&#x20AC;?

The time spent overseas also showed him how much he and his family appreciated the Rosemount area, and it fueled his desire to come back to RHS. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted our children in this environment,â&#x20AC;? he said.

I have questions about health insurance.

Work to do Even among all the positive aspects in the Rosemount learning community, Roback said thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much to address. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rest on the laurels of the past, we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t settle for the status quo,â&#x20AC;? Roback said.

Among the challenges the school faces are those related to lack of funding, large class sizes and meeting the mental health needs of students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are some issues, and we have to confront those issues,â&#x20AC;? Roback said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are different learning needs for each student.

They all bring different experiences to school.â&#x20AC;?

Roback said the school has to be creative with its funding in order to address class sizes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Teachers are really having to use a wide array of teaching skills,â&#x20AC;? Roback See Principal, 28A

“Breathing Space,” an exhibit by local artist Annie Young, is on display Jan. 2-31 in the Healing Arts Gallery at Fairview Ridges Hospital, 201 E. Nicollet Blvd., Burnsville. The exhibit runs Jan. 2-31. “I purposefully selected works that would offer inspiration and encouragement to hospital visitors, staff, patients and community to enjoy. They are subject-less images provoking the mind to shift from worry to hope, wonder and escape…if only for a minute or two.

These recently painted, abstract landscapes invite the viewer to recenter and/or escape from the physical and mental challenges, find a new breath and benefit from an increased sense of well-being,” Young said.

PRINCIPAL, from 25A said. “The tool kit is being expanded more and more.

That’s constantly a work in progress.”

In order meet the academic needs of each student, he says staff take a hard look at why students struggle, and they are adjusting to changing needs.

Roback said the school has systematic interventions in place to quickly identify and intervene when students are struggling.

Those interventions

take place both in and out of the classroom and everywhere in between.

That includes parent support and involvement in a child’s progress.

Sometimes there are challenges at home that make school success more difficult, and teachers and staff are working hard to communicate and support families as much as possible.

He said the school encourages parents and caregivers to be in the school as volunteers, visitors or in supporting its many

athletic and academic programs.

“We have to continue to have positive relationships,” Roback said.

“There are different things that make it harder and harder.”

Never relinquishing the culture of support is the key.

“It’s certainly overwhelming, but in a positive way,” Roback said of his new role. “I love this position. I knew it was going to be a ton of work and stressful. I’m still working on it, as a principal and a

leader of the school to get that life-work balance. I’m working at it.”

He said he is surrounded by so many good administrators, teachers and staff members, who make the work fun and fulfilling.

“I love coming to work every day,” he said. “I am proud and honored to be the principal of this school.”
