Farmington council member cited Allegations against Bartholomay ‘blown out of proportion,’ lawyer says by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Farmington City Council Member Jason Bartholomay was cited with impersonating a police officer in Apple Valley last month, charges his lawyer denies. According to the complaint, the Apple Valley Police Department alleged Bartholomay’s vehicle was outfitted similar to a police car and had its lights activated. “There’s no denying he had these lights, but there was no intent to impersonate a police officer,”

According to the complaint, an Apple Valley officer responded to a report on Oct. 26 during the evening hours (the report did not specify a time) of a vehicle driven by an male dressed in a regular T-shirt, with lights similar

to a police car. A witness reported other cars slowing down and pulling over. The report did not state that Bartholomay slowed down himself, got out of his car or approached anyone. An Apple Valley officer observed a vehicle fitting the description in the area of 153rd Street and Cedar Avenue and observed what appeared to be flashing blue light reflect off a nearby structure. In the report, Bartholomay denied knowledge of the blue or flashing lights. See CITATION, 12A

Extensive police effort locates missing girls Mother allegedly left girls at ranch in 2013 by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Sounds of the season

Diligence, teamwork and patience led Lakeville police last week to discover two teen sisters missing since 2013 living at a ranch 190 miles from home. Samantha and Gianna Rucki, now 17 and 16, were found Nov. 18 at White Horse Ranch in Herman, Minn., after they were dropped off there by their mother, Sandra GrazziniRucki, four days after they disappeared from their Lakeville home April 19, 2013, according to a Nov. 23 amended Sandra Dakota County criminal GrazziniRucki complaint. Grazzini-Rucki, 50, has for years denied any knowledge of the girls’ whereabouts or involvement in their disappearance. She was arrested Oct. 18 at an upscale Florida resort by U.S. Marshals on a Dakota County warrant and is being held in the Ramsey County workhouse on $1 million bail. Grazzini-Rucki faces three more counts of felony deprivation of custodial rights, for a total of six felony counts each carrying fines of up to $4,000 and a maximum sentence of two years, according to the amended complaint. The complaint states the night the girls disappeared in 2013, their paternal aunt, who had been granted temporary See FOUND, 12A

The five Republican candidates aiming to gain the GOP’s endorsement in the 2nd Congressional District offered delegates five differing narratives during a Senate District 52 debate in Inver Grove Heights last Thursday. Pam Myhra, David Gerson, Jason Lewis, David Benson-Staebler and John Howe echoed their support of many of the same initiatives (reduced government, lower taxes and local control of edu-

David Pam Myhra Gerson cation, among others) but offered variances in style. Myhra, of Burnsville, said this election is about trust. “Who will you trust to represent you in Congress and trust and defend the values, policies and principles you hold dear?” she asked. She said she has lived what she has said as a twoterm member of the Minnesota House, consistently voting for conservative values.

Jason Lewis John Howe She said she will do the same in Congress. “I will be a person you can trust,” the 40-year resident of the district said. Among the issues she outlined to address are out-of-control federal spending, reducing the interference of government in citizens’ lives, reducing the size of the U.S. Department of Education, improving national security, rebuilding the military to a position of strength and leadership, supporting 2nd

Amendment rights and protecting vulnerable human life. “It is David Benson- imperative Staebler that we retain this seat,” Myhra said. “We can’t talk our way to victory, we must fight our way to victory.” Lewis, who made a career as a conservative radio talk show host, cast himself as the person who could take the fight to the Democrats. He said Democratic candidates will be wellfunded and called himself the most electable conservative in the race. “I’m up to the task,” he

said. “We have a rendezvous with destiny.” Lewis said he would be the candidate who would cut the pork, not bring it home. The Woodbury resident (a city that’s outside the 2nd District boundary) outlined several areas that he said he would address if elected, including reducing health care costs, strengthening border security, reducing the cost of attending college, reforming the tax code and eliminating tax subsidies. He said addressing these issues would need bold leadership. “These are the very issues I got in the race to tackle,” he said. “I’m not See DEBATE, 12A

Couple want book removed from District 196 libraries by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A Rosemount couple are asking officials in the RosemountApple Valley-Eagan School District to remove a book from its middle school libraries that they believe is inappropriate because of its sexual content. Ben and Kandi Lovin are challenging “Just One Day� by Gayle Forman, which is about

a teenage girl, Allyson, who spends one romantic day in Paris with a young actor and decides to leave college to find him. The couple said they reviewed the book after their sixth-grade daughter brought it home the Rosemount Middle School library and were dismayed by “graphic� content that includes a sex scene, underage drinking and date rape. “It covers very adult themes

... that most students have not been exposed to and should not be provided by the school. It is a novel that has no life lessons to be learned from at this age level that can not be learned from one of many quality books available. I expect the books my children bring home from school to be appropriate, educational or examples of well written literature,� the Lovins wrote in a formal request for reconsideration.

A committee of parents, students and district staff will read the book and meet Dec. 3 to hear from the couple and discuss the book’s fate. The 11-member committee will then decide whether to remove the book from school libraries. The meeting is open to the public and will begin at 4:30 p.m. at the District Office at 3455 153rd St. W. in Rosemount. Only a handful of books have

been challenged in the past two decades, said Tony Taschner, spokesman for District 196. In 2014, a parent asked the district to remove “Sixth-grade can Really Kill You,� because of its use of the word “retarded.� The committee voted in a 10-0 decision to keep it in circulation.

While not hilarious, aging can be funny Burnsville resident’s book explores those moments by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The working title of Brenda Elsagher’s new book, “Aging Hilariously,� wasn’t working. The veteran author, motivational speaker and comedian solicited essays on the topic through women’s writing groups and social media. “I got one ‘tee-hee’ and two adventure stories from older women — no hilarious stories, none,� the 59-year-old Burnsville resident said. So she assembled a focus group of women in their 50s, 60s and 70s and had it video-recorded. “I spent a lot of money for 10 minutes of conversation,� Elsagher said. “They pretty much said: ‘No, you cannot age hilariously. There is no such thing.’ � But moments of hilarity — those are possible, said Elsagher, who retooled her pitch and wound up with 80 essays, 20 written by her. The book, “Your Glasses Are on Top of Your Head: Tales of Life, Longevity and Laughter� was launched in October by Minneapolis publisher Wise Ink Inc. Elsagher hopes readers of a certain age will see themselves reflected in the slice-of-life vignettes. “Forty-five and up is the

beginning of aging, really,� Elsagher said. “I’m on the young end.� The topic is a departure for the married mother of two, who built a new career after being diagnosed with colorectal cancer 20 years ago. She beat the cancer and faced life with a colostomy. Elsagher, who said she was raised in a family that coped with adversity through humor, turned a medical crisis and its squeamish aftermath into a foil for laughs. “I didn’t even know I was a speaker until 20 years ago,� said Elsagher, whose first four books — including the peppily titled “I’d Like to Buy a Bowel Please� — were aimed at cancer survivors, health care professionals or people living with ostomies. “I didn’t know I was a writer, I didn’t know I was a speaker, I didn’t know I was a comedian. I had my rectum removed and all these creative things happened to me. What can I say?� Elsagher’s cancer and clean bathroom humor became fodder for books, a stand-up act and a speaking career that has taken her to hospitals, women’s expos and other events across the United State and Canada. She offers the patient’s perspective in speeches to health care professionals, addresses cancer survivor groups and is a longtime advocate for colon cancer screening. In recent years Elsagher has sought to add

substance and continuingeducation credit status to her talks by studying therapeutic humor through the Humor Academy of the Association for Applied and Therapeutic Humor. Her first academic project was developing a keynote address on humor and healing for long-term care professionals. Her second was the new book, which Elsagher said was intended for a wider audience than her previous books. As one of the family caregivers for both of her late parents, she can rightly claim some expertise on aging. Her many contributors fill in the rest of the book. “All of my stories I thought were really funny, but I didn’t think there was enough and I didn’t want it all to be about me,� Elsagher said. “I like anthologies.� She has some tasty chapters, though, like the story of “Wheelchair Soup� — the stuff served by her dad after he was confined to a wheelchair in which he pulled up to the fridge and grabbed every ingredient he could reach. In one serving Elsagher found a rubber band. “He said, ‘Well, you know, I didn’t know you were coming, and I had to stretch it out.’ � She writes about her mother, who suffered from dementia for 15 years. “I said to my mom, ‘Guess what, Mom, you won’t believe it — I lost 70 pounds.’ And she goes, ‘Wow, that’s amazing. I’m

so proud of you.’ I felt so good. My mom didn’t used to be very complimentary. When she started losing memory, she got very sweet, like a marshmallow. “And so 10 minutes later I said, ‘Mom, guess what, I lost 70 pounds.’ She said, ‘Wow, that’s amazing!’ � Elsagher burst out laughing at the memory, but the fishing for compliments backfired when she told her mother she’d reached 100 pounds of weight loss. “She goes, ‘Wow, that’s amazing. You must really have been out of control.’ That’s the old mother.� After a lifetime of being heavy, Elsagher pokes some fun at the more slender but more elastic person she’s become in recent years. Cleaning the bathroom one day with newfound energy, she disrobed to avoid getting bleach on her clothes. Repeatedly hearing a “wop, wop, wop� sound, she thought it was a hovering helicopter until she realized it was extra skin flapping on her arm. “I can move a lot faster than I used to — I just have to wait a minute for my skin to catch up,� Elsagher said.

Author, comedian and motivational speaker Brenda Elsagher — the author of a new book on aging and humor and the beneficiary of substantial weight loss — sat at her kitchen table with her favorite sugarless soft drink. (Photo by John Gessner) — you take everything you can. So the whole aging thing has not freaked me out at all. “I’ve been grateful for every single birthday I’ve had. It’s been 20 years just last month since I’ve been diagnosed with colorectal cancer — 20 years. I got to see my children grow up. I got to attend my son’s wedding. This is what I had told the doctor when my kid was just 5: ‘You’ve got to make me well because I want to dance at my children’s weddings.’ �

There’s nothing funny, she acknowledged, about the chronic disease, mental illness and disability that can accompany aging. “But it is a matter of attitude, no matter what the situation is,� she said, describing her father’s deathbed with family around him, singing and telling funny stories about him as he went. “You want to age: That is the whole point,� Elsagher said. “You want to get one day older, sometimes one month older, one year

Opinion Insights from interviewing applicants to replace me by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

You learn so much by interviewing people for jobs. Over the past month, several great colleagues and I have listened to people who wanted to be the new director of the Center for School Change, where I’ve worked for 26 years. Here are a few things I learned by listening to these folks. When asked “Why do you want this job,” don’t begin by explaining that you are ready for the responsibility that the job offers. The most impressive answers include explaining why you believe the organization is doing important, exciting work. Then describe how you could help the organization accomplish its goals. Those are the attitudes and skills that organizations, whether nonprofit or forprofit, are seeking. The wisest job applicants have studied the organization to which they are applying. They demonstrate an understanding and support for what the organization is trying to accomplish – whether it’s a fast food franchise, a school, a company or anything else. Second, don’t submit what appears to be a generic resume. If you care about the

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Joe Nathan job, refine your resume at least to some extent. Show why or how you would be a good fit for this particular job. Based on previous experience, we asked people to submit answers to a few questions along with their resume. This helped us screen out a number of applicants. If the job description does not ask such questions, strongly consider listing, in a cover letter that accompanies the resume, a few examples showing how you can help the organization. Third, be prepared to be specific. We heard generalities from many applicants. If the job involves writing, bring some writing samples to the interview. If it involves creating something, be specific about what you’ve created. If the job involves accomplishing certain goals, be ready to describe specific accomplishments in previous jobs. Next, listen carefully to the questions.

Letters Don’t tread on me with a helmet law To the editor: It is not the time to require mandatory helmet laws for motorcyclists (Nov. 13 ECM Editorial). The time has not come (once again) to erode yet another personal freedom. What is this, Russia? North Korea? In a perfect world, we would hope for no fatalities of any sort: motorcycle, auto, boating, etc. Efforts to engender a culture and environment of universal courtesy and safety would be heartily supported. Any loss of life is tragic, but how can you justify (by your own statistics) usurping the rights and freedom of choice of 414,000 licensed operators, to offset the 60 who sadly lost their lives – for a wide variety of reasons? (That’s .0145 percent.) I am 63 and have been riding for 46 years. I bought my first motorcycle as a junior in high school (1969). I’ve never had an accident or insurance claim, and am lawabiding and responsible. I also have belonged to the American Motorcycle Association for 11 years. I am sick of the ubiquitous, perpetual whining about helmets in the media. It has been my experience that the people who protest the loudest don’t even own a motorcycle. Why don’t you focus your ardor on distracted drivers who still insist on using their phone while driving? I feel the same about mandatory seatbelt use; I have worn one since 1970 by choice, but I don’t want

the government coming into my car to force me to wear it “for my own safety.” However, your article is skewed in that: “riding without a helmet can cause serious injury or death.” Really? I’ve done it thousands of times and I’m not dead. All the riders I know are responsible, tax-paying, law-abiding citizens. The legislature has enough to do – let them help the many thousands who have been screwed by the economy and leave bikers alone. Don’t tread on me. JOE BRABEC Apple Valley

A tool for the Democratic Party To the editor: Don Heinzman and Tad Johnson’s column on the media’s interest in revealing the truth is a joke. The media as a matter of fact is a tool for the Democratic Party. The media doesn’t carry half the truth about Hillary Clinton. Maybe it overlooked the facts that she emailed her daughter and the Egyptian government that Bengazi was an Al Qaeda attack, but she told the American people and the four victim families it was a “video” only to protect President Obama’s run for his second term as he said Al Qaeda was on the run. The column omits that the CIA and the State Department Inspector General have said she has classified information in her emails – similar to what Gen. David Petraeus had who was prosecuted – but she gets a pass from the

media and likely from the corrupt Obama Justice Department as payback for protecting him during Bengazi. Your readers know you are failing to do your constitutional duty to be unbiased, but you repeatedly lie and deceive your readers and the American people. You should be ashamed to refer to yourselves anything like “revealing the truth.” I could add a long list of half truths on your coverage of local elections as well. You are nothing more than Democratic Party hacks. That is the real truth! TERRY BRANHAM Lakeville

Why skip the turkey on Thanksgiving? To the editor: While President Obama is pardoning two turkeys for Thanksgiving, every one of us can exercise that same presidential power by choosing a nonviolent Thanksgiving observance that spares a turkey’s life. And here are some good reasons: • You can brag about pardoning a turkey - like Obama. • You truly are what you eat. Who wants to be a “butterball”? • Fruits and vegetables don’t have to carry government warning labels. • You won’t sweat the environment and food resources devastation guilt trip. • You won’t spend a sleepless night wondering how the turkey lived and died. • Your body will appreciate a holiday from satu-

Seriously, this Thanksgiving, let’s give thanks for our good fortune, health, and happiness with a lifeaffirming, cruelty-free feast of vegetables, fruits, and grains.

Key is crash prevention To the editor: Regarding the Nov. 14 editorial “Time for mandatory helmet laws for motorcyclists,” it is clear that the ECM Editorial Board has fallen into the same trap as most of the nonriding public: that mandatory helmet use will ensure a motorcyclist’s safety. You should also do more research before using the seat belt to helmet comparison. Seat belts are one part of an automobile passenger safety system along with air bags, collapsible steering columns, crush zones, etc. Also, your “rising insurance rate” theory has been refuted so many times I am surprised that it was mentioned in the editorial. While my heart grieves for everyone lost too soon on our roads and highways, nothing will be solved by passing this “one-size-fits-all” mandate. What is needed is a comprehensive study into the initial cause of crashes. These are not “accidents,” and whether or not one is wearing a piece of equipment has no bearing on

why or how the crash took place. Rider training and motorist awareness programs are of great benefit. For more than 25 years, ABATE (American Bikers for Awareness, Training and Education) of Minnesota volunteers have offered the “Sharing the Road” program to teenagers during their drivers education class. Tens of thousands of students have received awareness training that lasts a lifetime. ABATE also strongly promotes the motorcycle safety training program statewide. Lessons learned in these classes benefit the student for years and years. These are proven programs that work and do not require heavyhanded legislation. Even with motorcycle registrations at an all-time high, the rate of fatalities per motorcycle registrations has decreased dramatically. While the ECM Editorial Board and others continue to focus on safer crashing, ABATE of MN will do all we can to promote safer driving and riding. The best crash is the one that never happens. MARK BACKLUND ABATE of Minnesota state coordinator Elk River

Different point of view on mandatory helmets

hear everything that is going on around me, specifically other vehicles that are in my immediate area. When I do wear a helmet, I feel closed in and almost a feeling of false security as sounds of traffic are muffled. The statistics are interesting, but they do not tell the entire story. Sixty fatal crashes make up .025 percent of the 236,000 registered motorcycles in Minnesota. While no wants to see anyone injured, I would argue that requiring helmets would have very little effect on this small percentage. It is mentioned that over half of the fatal crashes involved only a motorcycle. It would be interesting to see what percent involved another vehicle and what the cause of the accident was. There is no mention of distracted driving of other motorized vehicles. It was mentioned that operating a motorcycle is a privilege, but driving a car or truck that shares the road with motorcycles is also a privilege. The number of distracted drivers is alarming and is something that needs to be dealt with. I challenge everyone to take a look at the number of people who are texting or on the phone while they are driving. Forcing a motorcyclist to wear a helmet, when confronted with a distracted driver may save a life, but will not stop the accident from occurring, which is really the root of the problem. Unfortunately accidents and fatalities will never be eliminated. Forcing motorcyclists to wear a helmet is not the solution to this problem. Don’t let the actions of a few affect the majority of the other motorcycle operators and take away this personal freedom.

To the editor: I am an advocate of the personal freedom mentioned in the ECM Editorial (Nov. 13) and believe that it is each individual’s choice to wear a helmet or ride without one. I have been riding motorcycles since 1980 and choose to ride without a helmet. The main reason is that my awareness level of STEVE KNUDTSON my surroundings is not im- Eden Prairie peded by a helmet. When I ride, I like to be able to

Dancers’ food drive a success

Ă“ä£Ăˆ

Studio 4 Dancers in Burnsville collected 1,697 pounds of food donations during its recent two-week food drive. Dancers delivered their bounty Nov. 17 to The Open Door Pantry in Eagan. Food shelf volunteers said it came at just the right time as they were running very low on food. Since the studio surpassed its goal of 1,461 pounds of food, the owners and teachers will wear tutus to class one day, perform a dance for the studio, and at least one owner or teacher will get a pie in the face.

Harkening back 70 years USO-style show in Rosemount pays tribute to WWII veterans by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

From 1941 to 1947, the United Service Organization presented more than 400,000 performances for troops serving overseas during World War II featuring entertainers such as Bing Crosby, Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra and Bob Hope. The Rosemount Area Arts Council hopes to rekindle some of the magic of those shows with its Christmas at the Steeple Center performances of “Coming Home for Christmas� Dec. 5 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. “It will be a good mix of period music from the ‘40s, popular swing tunes, along with good old-fashioned Christmas music, singing, dancing, acting,� said Joanne Johnson, a RAAC member who’s organizing the program. “We’ve got a great mix.� The variety show will commemorate the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II and will feature performances by a swing band, formed by members of the Rose-

mount Community Band; HotDish, a group of female vocalists who perform in the style of the Andrews Sisters; JAMM Dance Co.; and The Special Delivery Singers, which is a chorus composed of special ability residents of Dakota County. “We wanted to commemorate the fact that RAAC was going to be back ‘home’ in the Steeple Center, and through those brainstorming sessions, we realized it was going to be the anniversary of the end of World War II – an even more significant ‘coming home,’ � Johnson said. “We felt it would be a great tribute to remember how important family, friends and home is this time of the year.� With the addition to the Steeple Center nearly complete, RAAC members say they are happy to be back in the main venue space that has hosted previously hosted the fourth annual Christmas event, which was skipped last year due to the construction. “I think we have brought in some great talent for this show, and I think the theme is close to people’s hearts,� Johnson said. “It’s going to be a show full of great music, acts, dancing and more. A

great event to share with family and friends.� Rehearsals have been occurring over the past few weeks as the acts have been preparing for the show in separate places. Many of them will come together at the Steeple Center the week prior to the shows for a large rehearsal. “It’s always nervewracking as we get closer and closer to the show, but we all have worked so hard to make this the best event we can,� Johnson said. “It’s been a popular event for us in the past and we hope to continue those sellout crowds. It’s just an awesome way to kick off the holiday season.� Tickets are on sale for $15 at RAAC’s website, rosemountarts.com, by mail to RAAC, P.O. Box 409, Rosemount, MN 55068, or at the door the day of the event. RAAC members receive a discount. World War II veterans will receive two complimentary tickets to either of the shows.

An old-fashioned Christmas at Dakota City Christmas in the Village scheduled for the first two weekends in December by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Current residents can travel back in time by more than 100 years to see what Christmas was like for early Dakota County residents next month during the Christmas in the Village Celebration at the Dakota City Heritage Village in Farmington. Every building will be filled with holiday cheer, showcasing life in the early 1900s from 1-8 p.m. Dec. 5, 6, 12 and 13 in the Dakota County Fairgrounds in Farmington. “It will show what it was like to celebrate around Christmas in a small town in Dakota County during the 1900s,� said Lynn Stegmaier, Dakota City president. This year’s theme is focused on the poem “Twas the Night Before Christmas.� A 1905 silent film of the poem will be showing at village hall. Inside the fire hall, children can make an ornament, which they can ei-

ther bring home or use to decorate the village Christmas tree at the bandstand. Children and adults alike can meet with Santa in the depot. Mrs. Santa will be in the library helping others write letters to Santa. There’s a checkers contest in the barber shop. Both the carpentry shop and blacksmith will be building items for the farm. There will be scheduled performances by several community and student coral groups in the church, but there will almost always be music filling the space. Several individuals from solo musicians to families plan to sing carols throughout the event. “People can to sing along when they’re there,� said Georgie Juenke, who organizes the music. Groups often hand out music sheets so those in the audience can join in. The Harris house will have familiar faces as well. The house was the last active building on the prop-

Christmas in the Village at (Photo submitted) erty, owned by the Harris family. “You can actually meet the last family who lived in that house before it became Dakota City,� Steg-

Dakota City Heritage Village is scheduled for the first two weekends in December. maier said. Along the road, two trollies decorated with jingle bells will be pulled by draft horses. Rides are free with paid admission.

For Dakota United coach Lorrie Buecksler, the second half of the final adapted soccer game of the season represented what her team was about. It wasn’t because the Hawks were leading handily, even though they went on to defeat Park Center 10-1 in the PI Division third-place game Saturday at Stillwater High School. It was the sight of Buecksler’s best player, senior center Grayson Nicolay, refusing to shoot and instead trying to set up teammates for goals. Nicolay, who already had scored three goals in the game, spent much of the second half trying to get the ball to Hawks ninth-grader Cooper Chelstrom so he could score. Chelstrom did get a second-half goal. “Cooper has some balance issues, but he’s the hardest-working kid on our team,” Buecksler said. “He comes to practice early to do some extra work, and usually by the end of practice he’s soaked in sweat because he’s been working so hard. “We have some really good players like Grayson and Riley Wisniewski who could score 10 times as many goals as they do, but they understand this sport and they support their teammates.” The Hawks, seeking their first PI Division championship since 2006, went into the state tournament with high expectations. They went undefeated (6-0) during the regular season, but they played fewer games because a couple of the

(Photo by Mike Shaughnessy) adapted sports programs in their conference did not have enough player to field PI Division teams. Buecksler said the Hawks expected the competition at state to be more difficult, and they weren’t disappointed. After beating Mounds View/Irondale/Roseville 10-3 in the first round, Dakota United faced its rival and nemesis, Robbinsdale/Hopkins/ Mound Westonka in the semifinals Saturday morning. The Robins, who were seven-time defending PI Division champions, won 6-1 to reach the championship game, where they lost to Anoka-Hennepin 2-0. Three times in the Robins’ seven-year championship run, they defeated Dakota United in the championship game. “Robbinsdale is a very difficult team to play,” Buecksler said. “They’re a co-op program like we are, so they have a lot of good players. They’re a super-

strong team, but we honestly believed this was the year we’d get past them and play Anoka-Hennepin in the championship game. But we didn’t play our best game Saturday morning by any means.” Nicolay had four goals and two assists in the opening-round victory over Mounds View/ Irondale/Roseville. Senior forward Benjamin Okke had three goals and Wisniewski finished with two goals and four assists for the Hawks, who finished 8-1. Nicolay and Hawks senior goalie Nick Kuefler were named to the alltournament team. Kuefler, Okke, Nicolay and defender Kevin Johnson are seniors, but the Hawks have 11 players who are ninth-graders or younger. Players such as Wisniewski, a sophomore, and ninth-grader Chuck Schultz will lead the next group of Dakota United

PI teams. “Some of our younger kids have been in other sports, but some others have never been in a competitive sport before,” Buecksler said. “Being in a state tournament format with a lot of people, a lot of noise, and all the intensity, will help them next time.”

Blazing Cats Burnsville/Farmington/ Lakeville took a 7-2-2 record into the state adapted soccer CI Division tournament but lost both its games. The Blazing Cats opened with a 10-3 loss to North Suburban, the top seed from the North Conference. North Suburban went on to play in the championship game, losing to Park Center 1-0 in overtime. South Washington County defeated Burnsville/Farmington/Lakeville 5-0 in the consolation semifinals.

Eagan teams finished in the top 10 in all three relays as the Wildcats placed 10th in the state Class AA girls swimming and diving meet Friday night at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center. Meanwhile, Burnsville’s lone state qualifier, senior Angela Le, scored enough points on her own to put the Blaze among the top 20 teams. Relays accounted for all but eight of Eagan’s 74 team points in the state finals. The Wildcats were the No. 3 South Suburban Conference team at the state meet, behind Lakeville South (fifth) and conference champion Rosemount (sixth). The Wildcats’ best finish was in the 200-yard freestyle relay, where senior Olivia Mitchell, ninth-grader Jennifer Lenertz, junior Erin Bucki and ninth-grader Jenna Joerger were fifth in 1 minute, 38.09 seconds. Eighth-grader Lara Mitchell and senior Deidree Voss teamed with Joerger and Olivia Mitchell to finish seventh in the 200 medley relay in 1:47.59. Joerger, Lenertz, Olivia Mitchell and Bucki finished 10th in the 400 freestyle relay in 3:34.73.

Four Eagan swimmers reached the consolation finals in individual events – Joerger in the 200 individual medley (15th, 2:11.75), Keely Tierney in the 500 freestyle (16th, 5:17.63), Lara Mitchell in the 100 backstroke (16th, 59.03) and Voss in the 100 breaststroke (13th, 1:07.01). Lenertz competed in the state preliminaries in the 200 freestyle, as did Olivia Mitchell in the 100 breaststroke and Jess Gartner in diving. Eagan, the Section 3AA runner-up, improved 14 spots on its 24th-place state finish in 2014.

Burnsville Angela Le, a model of consistency for Burnsville, placed at state in the 100 butterfly for the fifth consecutive year and in the 100 backstroke for the fourth straight year. Le, who went into this year’s state meet as the Class AA top seed in the butterfly, finished third in the event for the third consecutive year. Her time of 56.14 seconds in the finals was a fraction of a second better than her seed time. In the preliminaries, Le swam 55.87, good enough for All-America consideration. Le was fifth in the 100 backstroke finals in 56.99. Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

It’s the high school winter sports season, which means five teams from the Sun Thisweek and Dakota County Tribune coverage area are back to defend state championships. That elite group consists of: • Apple Valley wrestling, which has won 10 consecutive state Class 3A championships – but, if you believe one preseason ranking, is not favored to repeat this year. • Lakeville North hockey, coming off the first undefeated season in the large-school class in 22 years. • Eagan boys swimming and diving, looking to go back-to-back after claiming the school’s first state team swimming championship in 2014-15. • Apple Valley boys basketball, which opens the season ranked first in Class 4A and is looking for its third state championship in four years. • Dakota United CI Division adapted floor hockey, who won their second state championship – and their first in nine years – last March. Apple Valley is scheduled to open its wrestling season Dec. 3 in a home match against Lakeville South. The Eagles feature two of the nation’s top high school wrestlers – Mark Hall and Gable Steveson, defending state Class 3A champions at 170 and 220

FOUND, from 1A custody, told police she believed the girls had been picked up by Grazzini-Rucki. The girls’ father, David Rucki, was granted full custody of all five of the couple’s children in November 2013. Grazzini-Rucki allegedly found help keeping the girls’ location from their father by an underground network of people who claim family courts are corrupt. During a contentious divorce from David Rucki, GrazziniRucki claimed he abused her and the girls, but police found no evidence to substantiate the claims. Their oldest son, Nico Rucki, 19, told the newspaper their mother used “fearâ€? and “scare tacticsâ€? to make the children fear their father and separate him from them. Despite uncooperative witnesses, false leads and GrazziniRucki’s silence, Lakeville police Deputy Chief John Kornmann said investigating officers remained diligent to bring Samantha and Gianna home. He said fellow Lakeville officers took on extra workloads so officers involved in the case could focus on locating the girls. The teen girls have been brought to Dakota County and are being well cared for, KornCITATION, from 1A The officer observed a box that appeared to be used for activating the lights and asked Bartholomay to activate them. According to the police report, Bartholomay agreed to turn over the lights to the police department. The officers also found a siren and a PA box similar to those found in police squad cars. “There was no intent for him to impersonate an officer,â€? Parsons said. “He’s horrified by this. He’s upset because he’s innocent. ‌ Four officers responded to the investigation who where questioning him and he felt like he wasn’t able to get his story across.â€? That evening, Parsons said, Bartholomay had some luggage in his front seat that must have bumped the lights. “We’re not quite sure what actually happened,â€? Parsons said.

mann said. “Their well-being, everything about them, is the primary focus,� Kornmann said. He said officers involved in the investigation have issued 12 warrants in the past four months and “each of them provided a bit of information to another clue� as to where the girls might be located. Grant County Sheriff Dwight Walvatne said their department worked with Lakeville police to get a judge’s signature on a search warrant, and were there along with U.S. Marshals and four Lakeville police officers to serve the warrant at White Horse Ranch. The nonprofit organization, founded by Doug and Gina Dahlen, describes itself as a Christian ministry for abused horses and children. Kornmann said officers did not know the girls were at the ranch until they knocked on the door. He said the girls were cooperative and did not try to hide or run. Walvatne said it appeared as though the girls were “being well taken care of,� and one of the ranch owners was present and also cooperated with police. He said there were no other children present and police have never had any problems with anyone at the ranch. “It was almost an anti-climac-

tic conclusion to a long, long drawn-out investigation,� Kornmann said. Kornmann credited investigators in the Lakeville Police Department, describing the search as “a dedicated effort by the whole organization.� He compared looking for the girls to the story of Hansel and Gretel, who laid a trail of bread crumbs after they were lost but the crumbs were eaten by others. “People were trying to make those bread crumbs disappear,� Kornmann said. “The trail of those girls, they wanted to cover up and make sure the clues to finding those girls were gone.� Walvatne added Lakeville police briefed them on the case before the warrant was served and credited them for putting in a “tremendous amount of time and resources� in finding the girls. He said they have gathered significant information that has to be reviewed by the Grant County and Dakota County attorneys’ offices. The Dakota County Attorney’s office is asking that the Rucki family have privacy at this time. Grazzini-Rucki’s omnibus hearing was slated for Tuesday after this edition went to press.

“The complaint indicates he was actively pulling people over. There was maybe other cars concerned about the lights, but he didn’t have the intent on pulling anyone over. That’s why I feel the charges are petty. The statute requires intent.� The newspaper contacted the assistant Apple Valley city attorney Christine Cassellius with questions about the statute and clarification on the alleged incident, but she declined to comment on the citation. The statute states, “Whoever falsely impersonates a police or military officer or public official with intent to mislead another into believing that the impersonator is actually such officer or official is guilty of a misdemeanor.� The prohibited lights statute states, “Unless otherwise authorized by the commissioner of public safety, no vehicle shall be equipped, nor shall any per-

son drive or move any vehicle or equipment upon any highway with any lamp or device displaying a red light or any colored light.� There are exemptions for emergency vehicles and collector vehicles. Mayor Todd Larson said the citation won’t affect Bartholomay’s role with the city. “It’s a personal situation,� Larson said. “It’s a wait and see (situation). We’ll let the court do its job.� Bartholomay’s first court appearance is scheduled for Dec. 10. Bartholomay has been a member of the Farmington City Council for about five years. He started his second four-year term in January 2015.

DEBATE, from 1A in this race to have my 15 minutes of fame. I’ve already had it. I’m not in it for a job.� Citing his narrow less than 3 percentage point loss in the 2014 GOP endorsement, Gerson said he was the leader of a grassroots effort that forced current 2nd District U.S. Rep. Kline, R-Burnsville, to retire. The 68-year-old Kline said in September that he was retiring after 14 years because it was time to give someone else a shot, saying the expiration of his chairmanship of the House Education and Workforce Committee played a role in the decision. Gerson said he has invested his life savings into this cause and put his career as an engineer with Meggitt PLC on hold. “It is a cause for me, not a job,� he said. “This is not my campaign, it is your campaign.� The South St. Paul resident said he is the only person in the race to stand with “you in this race against Washington insiders.� He said he was going to fight against the liberal agenda that is destroying the country. Among the issues he would address, Gerson said he would defund Planned Parenthood and end executive overreach. “I have been in the trenches for three years,� Gerson said. He said he wants to restore people’s faith in representative government. “We are going to take our country back,� he said. Howe cast himself as a hard-working business owner who grew up in a house without running water. The first in his family to attend college, Howe said he hasn’t taken out a personal loan since 1996 mentioning first that addressing the federal deficit was his top concern. When reviewing the candidates, Howe encouraged voters: “Don’t listen to what they say, look at how they live their lives.� Howe cast himself as the candidate who could bring in the conservative Democrats who would be needed to win

the election. Benson-Staebler, who was in Italy when Kline made his retirement announcement, said he entered the race since he was upset about what was going on with the refugee crisis as thousands of Syrians are spilling into Europe. He said the refugees are being handed 50 euros, housing, medical benefits, new clothes, and iPads. “That fits the liberal ideology, it does not serve people,� said Benson-Staebler, who also criticized the Iraq nuclear deal. He said Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton wants to make the United States more like Europe with these policies. “These policies are entirely unacceptable,� he said. “The Republican offering is better. That is what I’m going to prove to us and win for us.� One contrast appeared with Lewis criticized Gerson and Howe for supporting means-testing for administering Social Security benefits, which would have poorer seniors receive more benefits and the wealthy less or none at all. Lewis called that action turning Social Security to a welfare program. On education, BensonStaebler and Howe both advocated for providing financial vouchers to students that would allow them to attend a school of their choice, including religious-affiliated schools. Gerson said he would allow states to opt out of No Child Left Behind and Common Core and expand 529 savings accounts. Lewis advocated for eliminating the U.S. Department of Education’s cabinet-level position and making it merely an office.

TODAY’S THE DAY STOP SMOKING

“Slow but steady� is one way to describe the creative process behind Eagan singer-songwriter Michelle Whalen’s new holiday album. “Incredibly disciplined� is another. About eight years ago, Whalen decided to get serious about her songwriting and set a goal for herself: She’d write one Christmas song, each year, during the holiday season, indefinitely. “Probably in 2007, 2008, I just started feeling like I wanted to be a bit more disciplined with composing,� she said. “Some years I wrote two or more songs, some years just one.� The result is “Christmastide,� Whalen’s 15-track album of new songs and rearrangements of old carols. Whalen will be hosting a free album-release concert at 6 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 6, at the Historic Concord Exchange in South St. Paul. Whalen is set to perform songs from the album with a backing band consisting of Twin Cities musicians who participated in the album’s recording. Whalen, who formerly led the music program at Eagan Hills Church with her husband, Joe, gives voice and piano lessons out of her Eagan home. “Christmastide� is her second solo album; she released “Fringes,� a collection of church worship songs with a jazz influence, in 2007. Whalen raised about $4,900 through Kickstarter to help bankroll “Christmastide.� Funds raised went to cover mastering of the CD, its printing, and the reservation fees for the upcoming album-release concert. She got a break on studio recording fees by partnering with Christian DeLooper, who engineered and co-produced “Christmastide.� The album was recorded between May 2014 and September 2015 at McNally Smith College of Music in St. Paul. DeLooper, a student at the school, made “Christmastide� part of his senior project, and the recording sessions were

strings or trombone. The finished album incorporates folk and jazz elements, and includes reworkings of ancient carols — a 13th century French carol, done as a jazz arrangement, and a third-century chant among them. “I was feeling like there were a lot of historic, good carols being lost in our culture,� Whalen said. “Christmastide� will be available for purchase at the Dec. 6 release concert, as well as through online Michelle Whalen music sites such as Spotify and iTunes. completed at no cost in More about Whalen McNally’s studios. and “Christmastide� is at Whalen was joined by a www.MichelleWhalenMucore group of three musi- sic.com. cians in the studio — guitar, drums and bass — but Email Andrew Miller at also brought in others for andrew.miller@ecm-inc. tracks that required harp, com.
