Council approves residency restrictions for sex offenders

The Apple Valley City Council approved an ordinance Feb. 23 that prevents certain convicted sex offenders from living near parks, schools, churches and day care centers. Under the measure, offenders designated Level 3 — those most likely to reoffend — and those whose victims were under 16 years old cannot reside within 1,500 feet of those types of facilities. The ordinance applies to predatory offenders who intend to move to Apple Valley following the City Council’s approval of the measure last week. It

does not affect designated offenders who are already living in the city. Currently, there are 64 predatory offenders residing in Apple Valley. Eighteen of those are designated Level 1, six are Level 2 and one is Level 3. Many offenders are not assigned a risk level, among them juveniles, offenders who were sentenced to probation and not jail time, and offenders released from prison prior to 1997. Police monitor all registered sex offenders regularly, Apple Valley police Capt. Nick Francis said, with a special enforcement team doing routine checks. The city’s first Level 3 offender moved to Apple

Valley in November 2016, taking up residence in the vicinity of Haralson Drive and McIntosh Drive. In October, police undertook a community notification process about the Level 3 offender, mailing out information and holding a public meeting. Feedback received by police during the notification process suggested a “clear desire� from community members to restrict residency of sex offenders, Francis said. Apple Valley is one of many cities in Minnesota to have enacted such an ordinance. The first was Taylors Falls, in 2006, and See OFFENDERS, 16A

Achievement and Integration strategies are being assessed in the Rosemount-Apple ValleyEagan School District through test scores, graduation rates and other data. For Integration & Educational Equity Coordinator Carita Green, one important measure often doesn’t show up in statistics. It’s found in the stories of each student.

It’s reflected in the three graduates who emailed her a photo of them meeting together as University of Minnesota students still using the AVID support model for students in the academic middle. It’s found in another graduate who was ready to drop an AP psychology class in high school but persevered after working with Green and the teacher to overcome her stumbling block. As a college student, she told Green she was excelling in psychology. It’s seen in the way a student who became blind after a medical issue had the support of a multicultural family advocate, teachers and family to

continue to advance in elementary school. With a population of more than 28,000 students, the district has stories like these developing each day through programs advanced by state AI funds, which totaled $4.3 million this academic year based on various racial and economic demographic data. (See related story from Feb. 17.) Though AI funding comprises about 1 percent of the district’s total annual budget, it aims to have a big impact on student success.

A lone oak tree in the parking lot of Berean Baptist Church marks the spot where the first chapel house, a one-story rambler, was built in 1963. It eventually became the church’s youth house and in 2000 was removed and paved over for parking. “That was sad,� recalled Kay Larson, managing director of church operations, who began attending the Burnsville church in 1992. “It was a very emotional day.�

Wistfulness is understandable for longtime members of a church founded by 13 people, some of whom mortgaged their houses to buy farmland for a church home at what is now 309 County Road 42 E. But 10 building projects later, Berean is in a position many other churches might envy. A drop in the Christian share of the U.S. population has been driven mainly by losses in the mainline Catholic and Protestant faiths, the Pew Research Center reported in 2015. Evangelical Protestants, including Baptists, held their own from 2007 to 2014, falling only slightly as a share of the population. See CHURCH, 16A

Bridge repairs and road construction will challenge motorists this spring at County Road 42 and Interstate 35W in Burnsville. The westbound lanes of the County Road 42 bridge will be closed from April 17, when work begins, to May 22. The eastbound lanes will be closed from May 22 to June 21. Detours will cause some congestion on local streets, said John Sass, project manager for the Dakota County Transportation Department. The bridge carries more than 50,000 vehicle trips a day on the county’s principal east-west roadway. “The first three days will be ugly,� Sass said. “But then people will figure out the route that they prefer, and they’ll generally stick to it.� The $2.3 million project was originally scheduled for last summer. But officials decided to hold off because the busy summer schedules of the few contractors that do bridge deck overlays would have pushed up costs, Sass said. The project was bid for this spring instead, when

contractors won’t be as busy. The project includes new concrete mill and overlay on the 28-year-old deck, which officials say has been deteriorated by deicing salts. Replacing the deck now will add about 30 years of bridge life, Sass said. Without a new overlay, the bridge would have to be replaced in 15 to 20 years, he said. Bridge joints and sidewalks will also be repaired. The project includes a 500-foot extension of the eastbound County Road left-turn lane motorists use to access northbound I-35W. Heavy use of the dual left-turn lanes by vehicles coming from the Burnsville Center area causes backups of eastbound through traffic, particularly in the lane next to the turn lanes. The backups often extend into the Aldrich Avenue intersection. “We’re trying to get that left-turning movement out of the through traffic in that area,� Sass said. The project also includes reconstruction of the traffic signal at Buck Hill Road and the southbound I-35W ramp. Dakota County has hosted two meetings on

Grand jury indicts man in death of woman, unborn baby A Dakota County grand jury indicted Vern Jason Mouelle, 23, of Brooklyn Park, with two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of second-degree murder after meeting from Feb. 2224. Mouelle’s charges in the deaths of Senicha Marie Lessman, 25, of Eagan, and her unborn child, were upgraded to allege premeditated murder and

murder with intent to kill. Both first-degree murder sentences carry a maximum penalty of life imprisonment. The second-degree murder charges carry a maximum sentence of 40 years imprisonment for both. His bail remains at $2 million without conditions and $1.5 million with conditions. Lessman’s mother found her daughter unre-

sponsive at around 3 p.m. Jan. 24 in Eagan. Eagan police and paramedics attempted to revive Lessman and saw what appeared to be a knife wound around her neck. Attempts to revive Lessman were unsuccessful and she was pronounced dead at the scene. She was 32 weeks pregnant. Her unborn child died as the result of her mother’s injuries.

An autopsy by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner revealed Lessman died of a knife wound or obstruction of her airway. “These charges reflect allegations that this was a premeditated and intentional domestic-related homicide which tragically claimed the life of Senicha Lessman and her unborn child,� Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom said in a release. “Our

deep sympathy is extended to the victim’s family and friends.� A neighbor described a vehicle parked in the driveway earlier that day that matched the description of one registered to Mouelle’s father. Mouelle was identified as the unborn child’s father. Officers located Mouelle and the vehicle at his place of employment. Officers found a receipt

RHS winter guard keeps flags, sabres and rifles flying by Brent Honcharenko SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Rosemount High School winter guard team is halfway through its season as team members have set their sights, aims and ambitions high. The team is comprised of 19 members of all grade levels, most of whom performed last fall as part of the award-winning Rosemount High School marching band’s color guard unit. Winter guard is the competitive winter performance season for color guard members to advance, focus and refine their techniques. Team routines are set to a soundtrack as there is no marching band, horn line or drum line. Performances are similar to that of dance productions and incorporate the same equipment used by marching band color guard units; rifles, sabres and flags. Rosemount High School’s 2017 winter guard program is titled “Hope is the Thing with Feathers,� inspired by Emily Dickinson’s poem “Hope.� Rosemount competes in the AI, from 1A and how they are attempting to reduce the achievement gap between white and minority students and the test score disparity between students who receive free and reduced price lunch and those who do not. A future story will look at an analysis of test score data.

In the classroom While more than 50 percent of AI funding supports transportation and programs at the district’s magnet schools, which has led to a greater racial balance in the schools, other continuing efforts include curriculum development, staffing for 10 multicultural family advocates and a 2017-18 plan to have Equity Partner stipends for staff at each school. In recent years, district staff have undergone cultural proficiency training, which aims to help teachers encourage student participation by empowering them to share their diverse perspectives. “Cultural proficiency helps you understand why you are doing those tips,� Green said. “It is learning not from the outside in, but from the inside out.� Past training efforts have helped teachers learn specific ways to integrate different cultures into the curriculum (i.e. tips), but cultural proficiency helps

Staff members change a mindset, according to Green In recent years, for example, teachers have included a wider range of literary works into an English curriculum, and cultural proficiency helps teachers recognize cultural aspects in the works to bring into the discussion. Green says when students see themselves in the curriculum they can learn more about their own heritage and that of others. “When you value diversity, it not only benefits students of color but it benefits everyone,� Green said. “It makes for a more interesting end product.� Research has shown that a curriculum that includes more cultural perspectives results in students who participate more in class, earn better grades and score higher on standardized tests. Teachers have to create a safe place in the classroom where participation is encouraged and supported in order for students to find value in their own work and progress. She used the “community� classroom unit of study in elementary schools as an example. Since the early grades keep the same group of students together throughout the school day, the classroom “community� structure is an important building block for success in academics, according to

Green. Green said teachers show the young students that: “This is our community. This is how we work together. Differences actually help to bring that out.� She said students should feel “whole and valued� so they can succeed. “You have to dig in deep,� Green said. “You have to get know each individual in the classroom.� While teachers were already making these connections with each student, Green said that cultural proficiency helps teachers see the class from each student’s perspective. The district will be tracking test scores and other data to see what impact the changes will have. “It is going to take time,� Green said. “It is different from what we have learned in the past.� Equity Partners To build off the district’s use of 10 multicultural family advocates, who have worked in the district’s 35 schools in recent years helping diverse students and their parents navigate school operations, any challenges and academic hurdles, Equity Partners will start their work in the 2017-18 school year. Equity Partners is modeled after a program in the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District that allows

a current staff member a 0.2 full-time equivalent stipend to serve as an equity resource for staff and teachers. The staff member will endeavor to ensure there is a consistent application curriculum changes based on the AI strategy. They also will serve as a resource in addressing topics of concern in classrooms, Green said. As the district surveyed teachers through the AI program update, many were saying that they were having difficulty addressing uncomfortable situations based on diversity when they surfaced in the classroom, according to Green. That’s when the Equity Partners idea surfaced. “We want to help them understand how to communicate with students in an appropriate way,� Green said. Green said the Equity Partners will have a positive influence in the schools since they will be a current staff member who is there throughout the school day, along with already understanding the school’s culture and its staff and students. Another way in which they are going to help out is encouraging diverse students to get involved in students groups and cocurriculars with an academic focus. A September 2016 re-

view reported that a Texas A&M study called Project Achieve found “there is a definite effect of participation on important outcomes like reading and math achievement, course grades, sense of belonging to school and academic self-concept.� The district aims to capitalize on such outcomes. The district’s multicultural family advocates communicate with parents of diverse backgrounds on a regular basis. The district, in which there are 100 different languages spoken, will use AI funds to endeavor to improve its communication with Spanish- and Somalispeaking families in two elementary schools. A pilot project for 2017-18 will make all print and online communications available in Spanish and Somali at Oak Ridge and Echo Park elementary schools. Oak Ridge School of Leadership, Environmental and Health Sciences is located in Eagan, and Echo Park School of Leadership, Engineering and Technology is in Burnsville. Communication with parents in the early years is an effort to get them involved in their child’s learning, which the district aims to improve upon in the 2017-18 AI program. Improved communi-

cation in the elementary schools aims to lead to more parent participation in homework, school projects and volunteerism. Green said there are many strategies teachers have used to improve homework success and parent engagement. Some teachers have flipped their classroom and allow students to do their “homework� in class and send information home that supplements the learning through reading assignments. She said increasing number of retired District 196 teachers are volunteering in schools after classes are done for the day to help students with homework. In Rosemount Middle School, students can stay after school to get homework help with the reward of having time to play in the gym after their work is done. Brad Shafer, assistant administrator and athletic director at the school, said the program has been very successful. AI funding has been consistent in the past three years. District 196’s funding was $4.03 million in 2015-16, $4.3 million in 2016-17, $4.5 million for 2017-18. Contact Tad Johnson at tad. johnson@ecm-inc.com or at twitter.com/editorTJ.

Opinion University, Kaler can’t afford a third strike For the University of Minnesota, there is much work to be done to regain the trust of students, parents and the state at large. It can start with a recalibration of the U’s moral compass. Ten Gopher football players were identified and investigated, along with a juvenile recruit, following sexual assault allegations. Four of the players have been expelled and two suspended upon recommendations by the University of Minnesota’s Office of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action. Minnesotans are all investors in the University, whether by writing tuition checks or having our tax dollars subsidize the institution. That is why we deserve a clear plan on how the school will repair trust in the institution and hold student-athletes to a higher standard going forward. In September, a woman alleged that multiple players pressured her to have sex and she was too intoxicated to give consent. This put the U of M under the microscope for the last six months, revealing disgusting behavior and absent accountability. The controversy peaked in December when remaining members of the team announced a boycott of the Holiday Bowl, a move supported by some coaching staff, including Head Coach Tracy Claeys. After a copy of a lengthy report following the University’s investigation

ECM Editorial was leaked to news outlet KSTP, the players ended the boycott. Claeys was fired a week after the bowl game. While the Minneapolis Police Department investigated and Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman twice reviewed the case, no criminal charges were filed. Still, the damning 80-page report from the University made it clear that the players involved did not live up to the school’s code of conduct for student athletes. Freeman called their behavior “deplorable.” Although the University’s core functions are education and research, we cannot dismiss the power of athletics and how they lend to the U’s brand. The University’s high-profile sports teams are the most familiar faces to the public and their closest connection to the maroon and gold. Of late, there have been some poor ambassadors on the football fields, basketball courts, wrestling mats -- and in the school’s top administration. This comes on the heels of a scandal involving one of the school’s top administrators, former Athletic Director Norwood Teague, who resigned after it was revealed he sexually harassed women he worked with. This was the first strike against Uni-

versity President Eric Kaler, who then brought in Mark Coyle to lead the athletic department and turn things around. We are entitled to expect him to get it right. In September, Coyle fired longtime wrestling coach J Robinson following an investigation into players’ use and sale of Xanax, a prescription sedative. Among the many failures in lack of oversight by the University, it is unacceptable for a juvenile recruit to be turned loose without responsible supervision. We expect changes in protocol to be made. At a public speaking engagement in Oakdale early this year, Coyle admitted the last seven months had been the toughest of his life. “The last five weeks have rocked me,” he said. Coyle emphasized that accountability needs to be shown by student athletes, adding that the word has lost its meaning. “It should be a privilege for athletes to put on that M jersey,” Coyle said. We agree, and point out that a privilege is distinctly different from a right. Just because a student is not charged with a crime does not mean there shouldn’t be significant repercussions. Coyle said he is responsible for developing and enforcing the student athlete code of conduct. The University is well within bounds to bench, or turf, athletes who do not live

up to the school’s standards. We need to see the rules enforced, along with recruitment of student-athletes who are of the quality in talent and character that will make that the school, and the state, proud. Now that a coaching change is in place with the hiring of P.J. Fleck, it’s time for the University to present a comprehensive plan on how it will hold its student-athletes and staff accountable going forward. Sadly, all of these incidents take the spotlight away from deserving students and athletes who are working hard to achieve degrees in the classroom and success in highly competitive athletics. This is the second major incident on President Kaler’s watch. Clearly, it’s time for a major culture change. Despite some raising concerns about their involvement, the University’s Board of Regents must play an important role in the turnaround. Kaler, and the Regents, are ultimately responsible for making sure the University of Minnesota is a safe place for all students to learn, and where women are respected. There will be no excuse for a third strike. This is an opinion of the ECM Editorial Board. Sun Thisweek and the Dakota County Tribune are part of ECM Publishers Inc.

Courage and compassion overcome cowardice by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

When they said “no,” I knew it was not a drill. The “no” came in response to my request the morning of Feb. 21 to quickly grab my sweatshirt, hanging in a locker at the St. Paul Jewish Community Center. About 20 of us had been exercising there. Suddenly, JCC staff told all of us we needed to leave the building – “Now!” As we walked out, we were accompanied by little children. Some walked. Some were wheeled out in baby buggies or cribs. It was quite a crew on the sidewalk, from infants to people I’d say were well over 70. The JCC staff smiled and explained we were going to visit the firefighters. We walked half a block to St. Paul Fire Station 19. The firefighters warmly welcomed all of us – the children, the seniors, the JCC staff. They moved one of their trucks to provide room and put down mats on the concrete floor for the

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Joe Nathan children to sit on. Then two of them, Martha Fecht and Todd Hanson, began giving the youngsters a demonstration of what firefighters wear when they go to a fire. The children were fascinated. After the demonstration, firefighters brought out a video player and arranged for the youngsters to watch a movie. Firefighters also gave the youngsters a snack. Everything was calm and positive. After about an hour, I left, as I had an appointment. Walking back toward my car, I saw seven or eight police cars around the JCC. One policeman explained that he was sorry but I would not be able to go into the JCC for that sweatshirt.

Later that day, newspapers reported that there had been a bomb threat at the JCC. Some individual or group of cowards had called it in. Apparently, this has happened throughout the country. The Council on American-Islamic Relations announced a $5,000 reward for the arrest and conviction of the person or persons who threatened to bomb the JCC’s. “It is the duty of American Muslims to offer support to the Jewish community and any minority group targeted in the recent spike in hate crimes nationwide,” said CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad in a press release, found at http://bit.ly/2mck8iO. Steve Hunegs, executive director of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas, told me by phone there has been “a wonderful reservoir of support” from community members for Jewish people. Political leaders, including St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman and President Donald Trump, had condemned anti-Semitism. These statements are welcome. But

what most impressed me was the calm courage of the JCC staff and the compassion of the St. Paul firefighters. Richard Ritter, a St. Paul firefighter and paramedic, told me that the firehouse is a “safe haven” for anyone in need. My hope and prayer is not just the firehouse but America can continue to be a “safe haven.” We can’t and won’t solve all the world’s problems. But creative collaborations, like those between the JCC and St. Paul Fire, help. And with the kind of courage and compassion I saw displayed, we will challenge, reduce and someday, overcome prejudice, cowardice and hatred.

Meeting each other half way To the editor: Many of U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis’ constituents feel as though he is avoiding them, and based on my experience so far, I would have to agree. I think part of the disconnect is on us, though. Progressives need

to demonstrate that we want open, honest and respectful discourse. If we use combative rhetoric or refer to him as the enemy, we put him on the defense from the start. We need to meet each other half way if we’re going to do anything constructive. I wrote him earlier this week about my concerns that party politics is overshadowing accountability and standing up for what is right. It was my first letter to him, so I took the opportunity to join his mailing list. I then received a phone call two nights ago from his office during dinner. I did not recognize the number, although I did see that it was from a Washington, D.C., area code, so I didn’t answer. I understood from the voicemail that I had been invited to a tele-town hall meeting. I’d had no prior notice of the meeting or the impending call and was disappointed that because I didn’t answer during dinner that I wasn’t

able to participate. I told Lewis that we were getting off on the wrong foot. I know that many constituents are angry. They need to tone down their rhetoric and be willing to listen. They need to give Lewis a chance to do his job. But they have real concerns that need to be addressed, and so far, they aren’t feeling like Lewis is doing the job of representing them. This may be a simple miscommunication. After all, Lewis has just started his job. But people are only going to get angrier if they feel he is avoiding them. I encourage Lewis to reach out to his constituents. He may find that he’ll have more supporters if he engages us and is willing to treat more liberal-leaning constituents like constituents. I thank him for listening and serving. JO HAUGEN Eagan

Food truck dispute brewing in Lakeville City Council to consider food trucks by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A food truck disagreement is brewing between neighboring business owners in downtown Lakeville. Lakeville City Council members are considering options for food trucks to occasionally operate in areas throughout Lakeville after Angry Inch Brewing owners Josh Hebzynski and Jon Erickson requested city ordinances change to allow them to invite food trucks to sell outside their brewery some weekends year-round. Erickson said at the Feb. 28 City Council work session hosting an occasional food truck would attract more people downtown and benefit all surrounding retailers. He said they would seek out a variety of food trucks that offer different meal options than what is available at neighboring restaurants. Marty Richie, owner of Heavy Metal Grill Restaurant and the food truck of the same name, is opposed to the proposal. Richie said a food truck will negatively affect his brick-and-mortar business, located next to Angry Inch Brewing in the same building on Holyoke Avenue. He told Sun Thisweek a food truck is cheaper to operate and the owners have no stake in the community, do not pay property taxes and do not have multiple employees to consider. Erickson said they had a food truck outside their business on 208th Street on Feb. 2 and his patrons enjoyed British meat pies not offered at surrounding restaurants. He said if the city permits food trucks, they would continue to seek trucks offering different fare than is now available. He said allowing the trucks would bring more

Heavy Metal Grill owner Marty Richie said his Feb. 23 Facebook posting of his food truck in front of Lakeville City Council Member Brian Wheeler’s restaurant was intended to highlight his point against the city allowing food trucks to sell near brickand-mortar restaurants as Jon Erickson and Josh Hebzynski, the owners of Angry Inch Brewing, have requested. The businesses are located next to each other in the same building. Neighboring Lakeville Brewing Co. owners, who also serve food with their beer, have stated support for proposal. business to downtown Lakeville. “Food trucks themselves tend to have pretty good followings of people who will follow them from city to city,� Erickson said. Richie said the night Angry Inch had a food truck parked by his business, his restaurant was not called for a single food delivery to Angry Inch Brewing, when they typically deliver 15 to 20 times per night. He said the lost business affects him and his employees, including servers who usually make tips by delivering food next door. Erickson said they are not trying to take business away from any of their retail neighbors. “We’re just looking for flexibility to have them down on the weekends,�

Erickson said. “We don’t want to have something there every single day.� At the meeting, Lakeville Community Development Director Dave Olson said the city does not currently have an ordinance that addresses food trucks, although downtown is littered with those types of temporary businesses during events like Pan-OProg, the city’s two-week summer festival. Erickson presented several letters from patrons in favor of the idea. Lakeville resident and Angry Inch patron Andy Zetzman said food trucks will provide more choice for consumers, calling them “a staple at local breweries ever since the craft beer boom began.� Aaron Shand wrote he and his wife live south of the cities but work in Min-

neapolis where “there are more than enough food trucks AND restaurants.� He said they spend money on both options based on what sounds good to them depending on what they are “in the mood� for eating. Don Seiler, co-owner of Lakeville Brewing Co., which is located adjacent to Angry Inch Brewing and also serves food, spoke in favor of the proposal on behalf of himself and the other owners. “We encourage the city to find a way to come (up) with the regulation and means to allow that to happen,� he said. Seiler said they want to see downtown Lakeville thrive and believes more

variety available to consumers will draw crowds. “Anyone who’s done any basic marketing knows, particularly in food and entertainment, the more choices, options and variety you provide a single destination, the more likely people will choose to go there,� Seiler said. He added they do not feel any threat to their business and estimated there is about $7.5 million spent outside Lakeville on food and entertainment that could be spent inside the city. Seiler said their business had no negative impact on the night there was a food truck parked adjacent to their business. “There was a lot of positive buzz,� Seiler said. He noted there was also an uptick in social medial presence. “We noticed a publicity bump for us,� Seiler said. “I think that’s a good thing. It think that’s good for all downtown Lakeville.� Richie was unable to attend the meeting, so his girlfriend Lisa Caulfield read and explained Richie’s letter outlining his concerns. Caulfield said food trucks are a great marriage with breweries, just not when they are located next to brick-and-mortar restaurants. Caulfield said they take their food truck to breweries where there are not other food options, calling it “common respect� to avoid parking a food truck in front of established restaurants. Richie – who said starting a food truck cost him about $60,000 while the building was a $250,000 investment and about 7080 hours a week of his time – amplified the point in a Feb. 23 Facebook post. Richie posted of picture of his food truck parked

in front of City Council Member Brian Wheeler’s restaurant, Baldy’s BBQ, and facetiously announcing he was going to be “slinging phillies� in front of it. “Naaa just kidding!� the post said. “You know we wouldn’t do something like that.� Caulfield asked council members to consider how a coffee shop business owner would feel if a coffee truck parked in front of it, or an ice cream truck parked in front of Dairy Delite or if a beer truck parked outside Angry Inch and sold beer for $2 each. “All these examples sound pretty silly,� Caulfield said. “But it is our reality. We need to respect each other’s businesses.� Caulfield said cities are taking steps to protect brick-and-mortar businesses across the country, including instituting limitations to the length of time and location food trucks may operate. She said if food trucks are allowed to park outside of a brick-and-mortar restaurant, they will end up closing, the trucks will move on and downtown will be left with empty retail space and vacancy signs in the windows. Wheeler, who also owns a Baldy’s BBQ food truck, called the situation a catch-22. He agreed food trucks “create buzz� and draw people, but said they bring competition to established restaurants without the cost of owning and operating a brick-and-mortar business. “People have invested lots of money into their restaurant,� Wheeler said. “Lots of time, lots of hours and employ more than two people. They employ lots of people and (they are) competing against that.� See TRUCKS, 6A

Man convicted for hit-and-run death of Lakeville soldier Sentencing is May 10 by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

After a week of testimony and more than 17 hours of deliberations over three days, a Scott County jury on Feb. 24 convicted Matthew Keely Hartley, 34, of Farmington, on three counts of criminal vehicular homicide in the Sept. 25 hit-and-run crash that killed Mollie Mahowald, 24, of Lakeville. Mollie’s father, Pete Mahowald, said the family was happy with the verdict and grateful to jurors for their time and careful review of the evidence, which included Hartley’s testimony and that of 22 witnesses for the prosecution. During deliberations, the six-man, six-woman jury twice briefly convened in the courtroom to review TRUCKS, from 5A

The video shows some of the spectators gathered as music plays and Hartley and Plan rev their motorcycles. Some in the crowd shouted profane-laced comments about their safety on the road. the established business owner. “As someone who owns a business and knows what kind of taxes you pay, and the what kind of expenses you pay for brick-and-mortar, it’s a tough one,� she said, Mayor Doug Anderson asked staff to provide the council an array of options that could include a parameters of where and when food trucks could be allowed to operate. “Maybe there’s a way we could get into this and not open it up the whole way, because I do hear the concerns,� Anderson said.

Council Member Luke Hellier said food trucks could help “creative vibrancy� downtown and draw new and different people there. He said he also wants to be sensitive to brickand-mortar businesses and consider how trucks would affect residential neighborhoods. Council Member Bart Davis said if an ordinance is created, they need to be mindful of constituents and ensure it is applied uniformly across the city without favoring one business over another. Council Member Colleen Labeau said she Contact Laura Adelmann at sees both sides, but also laura.adelmann@ecm-inc. expressed concern for com.

“Don’t (expletive) die!� one yelled. Not recorded was what happened seconds later, when Hartley struck pedestrian Mahowald, an Army specialist and Iraq War veteran. Witnesses testified after the crash Hartley, who was on probation for a 2012 DWI charge in Dakota County, scrambled to his motorcycle and hastily left the scene as Mahowald lay dying in the street and many people were screaming at Hartley to stop. Court documents say the impact of the crash vaulted Mahowald about 20-30 feet. Elko New Market officers racing to the scene to assist Mahowald reported Hartley passing them at a high rate of speed. Hartley testified he did not see the police and he was traveling about 30 mph. Jurors also reviewed a

911 audio of a distraught man reporting he had witnessed a motorcyclist hit a female pedestrian “headon� and take off. Hartley, of Farmington, testified he saw a girl in front of him but did not know he struck her until police tracked him down the next day. Hartley told the jury he hid his dirty, damaged motorcycle first alongside a road, then under a canoe at his residence, covering a protruding handlebar with a garbage can lid to keep it from the rain. Hartley denied drinking any alcohol before the incident, said he did not know police were searching for him and testified he was taking a walk when they came to his residence that afternoon with a search warrant. After police located and arrested Hartley about 14 hours after the crash, he received medical treat-

ment for an injured ankle. Hartley was convicted of all charges except one count of criminal vehicular homicide associated with being under the influence of alcohol. Scott County Attorney Mike Budka said outside the courtroom after the verdict was read, the family was emotional, hugging each other and wiping tears. Pete Mahowald said several jurors also hugged family members and expressed sympathy for their loss. Budka said Hartley is expected to be sentenced to the statutory maximum of 15 years in prison. He said he was pleased with the verdict and noted the diligence of the police in gathering witnesses and evidence. “This was a difficult case in the fact that Mr. Hartley fled the scene,� Budka said. “Law enforce-

ment did a really good job in tracking him down and getting me everything that I needed to make this presentation to the jury.� Hartley has an extensive criminal record. Court documents show he has been convicted of and/or pleaded guilty to more than 50 charges, many felonies, in dozens of criminal cases including domestic abuse, burglary, terrorist threats, obscene or harassing phone calls, financial transaction fraud, theft, DWI and driving after suspension. Sentencing is scheduled for May 10. “I’m glad this is over for the family,� Budka said. “It’s a long time coming.� Contact Laura Adelmann at laura.adelmann@ecm-inc.com.

Lakeville couple sentenced for theft from parents Shannon, Ted Thompson entered guilty pleas by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Shannon and Theodore Thompson pleaded guilty and were sentenced Feb. 28 for stealing over $60,000 from Shannon’s elderly Lakeville parents after her father became ill and eventually died in 2014. Dakota County District Judge Michael Baxter sentenced each to five days in jail and 30 days of electronic home monitoring and ordered them to pay $47,443 in restitution. Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom said some of the money was recovered through insurance.

Shannon Theodore Thompson Thompson The Thompsons, of Rosemount, moved in with Shannon Thompson’s father after he was diagnosed with cancer. According to criminal complaints, the couple repeatedly forged her mother’s signature and deposited multiple checks issued to the mother or forged by them from her account into their own accounts for about a year after her father died. Shannon Thompson’s mother reportedly thought the couple were paying her household bills and mortgage, but discov-

ered the bills were going unpaid. The mother also discovered changes were made regarding how her regular income was being handled. Posts on Shannon Thompson’s Facebook page describe the stress of caring for her father until his death on Feb. 10, 2014. On dates following his death, the Facebook posts include details of the couple taking several vacations, including to Europe and an all-inclusive, adults-only resort, and making purchases that included a new truck, a motorcycle, a large television and a hot tub. Shannon Thompson also used her mother to obtain a pain pill prescription from her doctor, and told her she would do all the talking and she would kick her mother out of the

house if she did not go along with the story. A criminal complaint stated Shannon Thompson’s mother was afraid of the couple, who prevented her from seeing her other two daughters. In a statement, Backstrom called financial theft from the elderly and vulnerable “a significant and growing problem.� “It is disturbing to see thefts like this from an older parent by a daughter and her husband,� Backstrom said. “We are pleased to have held this couple responsible for their actions.� Backstrom thanked Lakeville police for their investigation and Assistant County Attorney Tori Stewart, who prosecuted the case.

Addressing county’s aging population City profiles highlight key components of an age-friendly community

The population is aging. This is true across the nation and in most communities in Minnesota. Dakota County leaders say that cities need to reflect this changing demographic landscape to help people stay safe, healthy, and living independently in their communities. For that reason, Dakota County’s Communities for a Lifetime Initiative has completed profiles for

the 11 major cities in Dakota County. The profiles highlight key components of an age-friendly community. The goal is to increase awareness of future demographic changes and their implications, and to provide a menu of options for how communities can respond to the changes based on their strengths and gaps. The initiative’s manager, Jess Luce, worked with city managers and planners to finalize the profiles. Feedback and suggested changes from city and county staff were incorporated, along with current research and relevant data

to customize profiles for each city. Each profile includes a city’s changing population data, housing performance score, types of housing, transit options, land use, walkability score, and other indicators, including indicators from AARP’s Livability Index. Age-friendly policies are also highlighted. City profiles will be a resource and a strategic planning tool to help communities measure their progress in becoming more age-friendly as they undertake a comprehensive planning process through 2018, according

to Luce. The Communities for a Lifetime Initiative aims to engage communities in active planning, sharing best practice models, and by partnering on age-friendly projects. Residents can view all of the profiles by searching City Profiles Project at www.co.dakota.mn.us. For more information on the Dakota County Communities for a Lifetime City Profiles Project, or to schedule an overview presentation on a particular city’s profile, contact Luce at jess.luce@ co.dakota.mn.us or 651554-6130.

Eagan hit-and-run victim back on his bicycle Red Cross blood drive at MHC Software on anniversary of crash by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

It’s been about a year since Bryan Joas took bike ride that was cut short. Joas, who lives in Eagan, was riding his bike March 8, 2016, when he was struck by a vehicle in a hit-and-run accident that left him with life-threatening injuries. He spent the rest of the spring in the hospital recovering from the traumatic experience undergoing 12 surgeries. During his recovery, he required at least 35 units of blood and 11 units of platelets. He’s been back to work since September, but he’s still in the midst of his recovery. “The new normal is the last six months,� Joas said. “I’ll have some ongoing medical things I’ll have to deal with the rest of my life, but all things considered I’m pretty lucky. There’s still some physical rebuilding of strength and mobility, but I’m working at it.� While the hit-and-run happened while he was on the bike, Joas has no qualms about getting back on. He’s already been back on his bike for short rides. “It feels pretty comfortable to ride a bike,� Joas said. “Obviously I’m not as fast as I was when I got hit. But I’ve raced since I was 18. I went on a lot of

It’s always good to get out an push yourself like anyone would. It’s been part of my life forever.� He doesn’t have any memory of the accident, so he said he didn’t have any anxiety getting back on the bike. The individual driving the vehicle who hit Joas still hasn’t been identified. A reward was offered for information leading to the identification of the driver who hit Joas in Eureka Township on March 8, 2016, on 250th Street West just west of Highview Avenue. Witnesses described the vehicle as a silver or

light-colored truck with loud exhaust. “I haven’t had any vindictive motive trying to find the person,� Joas said. “I’m more focused on passing the next physical test I’ve had. I haven’t gone back. Even if they found the person, it’s not really going to help me individually.� One thing he wishes he could do was donate blood, but he can’t right now. He said he never expected to need as much blood as he did during his recovery. “It opened my eyes,� Joas said. “Of all the procedures I had and talented

doctors that helped me, if they didn’t have blood, they wouldn’t have been able to do any work.� So if there’s one thing people could do to support Joas, it would be to donate blood. His place of employment, MHC Software, is holding a blood drive on the anniversary of the crash 1-7 p.m. March 8 at 12000 Portland Ave. in Burnsville. To make an appointment to donate, use the Red Cross Blood Donor App and use sponsor code JoasStrongBV, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-

tims, cancer patients, organ transplant recipients, premature babies and patients with blood diseases, such as leukemia, sickle cell disease and more. All blood types are needed, but Type O negative and Type AB plasma are always particularly welcome because when there’s no time to determine a patient’s blood type, emergency personnel reach for those types because they can be given to a patient with any blood type. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at checkin. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements. Blood donors can now save time at their next donation by using RapidPass to complete their pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, prior to arriving at the blood drive. To get started and learn more, visit redcrossblood.org/ RapidPass and follow the instructions on the site.

According to the Red Cross, a patient in the U.S. needs a blood transfusion ever two seconds. “If you can’t give to this blood drive, try to find one that you can, if you’re able to,� Joas said. “It’s the biggest support you can give to accident victims. I expect there are other people who don’t envision they would need it. They don’t know if it’s going to be a family member or a stranger who needs it next.� The blood collected March 8 may help many types of patients including Contact Andy Rogers at accident and trauma vic- andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Sports Steveson, Delich go into state undefeated Class 3A individual wrestling tourney starts Friday by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Apple Valley junior Gable Steveson and Eastview senior Mike Delich are among six wrestlers taking undefeated records into this week’s state tournament at Xcel Energy Center. Steveson, who hasn’t lost a high school match since his eighth-grade season, is heavily favored to win the Class 3A state championship at 285 pounds. He’s also ranked first nationally at that weight. He’s the two-time reigning Minnesota high school and Cadet World champion at 220 Steveson (35-0) pinned all three of his opponents in the Class 3A, Section 2 individual tournament last weekend in Shakopee. He was on the mat a total of 1 minute, 48 seconds in those three matches. Another top state contender at 285 is Willmar’s Brady Reigstad, who was second at state at that

weight last year. Delich, who was fourth at state last year, returns for another crack at the 195-pound title in what likely will be his final weekend as a wrestler. He has signed with the University of Minnesota football program as a preferred walk-on. He received a bye in the first round of the Section 2 tournament, earned a 5-2 decision over Rosemount’s Ezayah Oropeza in the semifinals and pinned Shakopee’s Abe Ngaima in the championship match. Moorhead senior Samuel Grove, state runner-up at 195 last season, also is in the tournament. Brandon Moen of Owatonna, who won the 195-pound title in 2016, will wrestle at 182 at state this year. The Section 2 tournament featured four of the top 11 teams in the state Class 3A rankings, including top-ranked Apple Valley and No. 2 Shakopee. Eleven Apple Valley wrestlers got out of the Section 2 individual tourney and into state. Three – Steveson, Kyle Rathman (138) and Jalen Thul (170) – were section champions.

Eight more Eagle wrestlers were section runners-up, including five who won matches for true second. Also qualifying for state were Lakeville North senior Wade Sullivan, a top-three finisher at state the last three years, and Eastview senior Alex Lindstrom, his school’s career victories leader. Tenth-ranked Eagan sent four individuals to state through the Class 3A, Section 3 tournament. Farmington qualified three wrestlers through Class 3A, Section 1. Lakeville South senior Brady Bastyr advanced to state for the third year in a row and is one of three Cougars who were runners-up in the Section 1 tourney. Apple Valley is the No. 1 seed in the state Class 3A team competition that takes place Thursday at Xcel Energy Center. The Eagles (19-2) face unseeded Minnetonka in the quarterfinals at 9 a.m. The championship match is scheduled for 7 p.m. Anoka, St. Michael-Albertville, Owatonna and Hastings are the other seeded teams in Class 3A. State individual com-

petition begins Friday. First round in the Class 3A tournament is 1 p.m. Championship matches in all classes begin at 6:30 p.m. Saturday.

Return to Ridder a bit of a letdown Eastview girls 6th in Class AA hockey tourney by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Local swimmers on their way to state Eastview’s Pekarek seeded 2nd in breaststroke by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

After smashing two records at the Section 1AA boys swimming and diving meet, Lakeville North sophomore Andrew Trepanier looks to add to his medal collection at the state meet this weekend at the University of Minnesota. Trepanier had winning times of 20.81 seconds in the 50-yard freestyle and 49.16 in the 100 butterfly at the Section 1AA finals Saturday in Rochester. Both were section records, and the butterfly time earns automatic AllAmerica status. Trepanier now holds three records in Section 1AA, including the 100 freestyle mark he set last year (he did not defend his championship in that event this year, opting instead to swim the butterfly). Trepanier, who also swam on two state-qualifying Lakeville North relays, finished second in the 50 and 100 freestyle races at state last year. This year he’s the No. 2 seed in the 50 freestyle behind defending champion Jordan Greenberg of Eden Prairie. Trepanier is the top seed in the butterfly, with defending champion Joshua Withers of Eden Prairie at No. 3. Eastview senior Sam Pekarek is seeded second

in the 100 breaststroke, an event where he finished second at state last year. That could set up another duel with Minnetonka senior Corey Lau, who is the No. 1 seed and defending champion. Eagan’s Quenton Steffen is seeded fourth in the breaststroke. Eagan also is seeded fourth in the 200 freestyle relay. The Wildcats, who won the Section 3AA team championship, are seeking their third podium finish at state as a team after taking the 2015 Class AA championship and placing third last year. Minnetonka has the top seed in six of the 12 events and appears to be the favorite for the Class AA team championship. Class AA diving preliminaries will be 6 p.m. Thursday at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center. Swimming preliminaries are 6 p.m. Friday, with swimming and diving finals at 6 p.m. Saturday. Following are state qualifiers from the Section 3AA meet last week at Bluewater Aquatic Center in Apple Valley:

Eastview Ben Montgomery, Sam Pekarek, Drew Reinhardt, Sam Hagen, first in 200 medley relay, 1:37.28. Pekarek, first in 200 individual medley, 1:53.90; first in 100 breaststroke,

Eagan Caiden Kuehn, Quenton Steffen, Max Stigman, Joe Strobel, second in 200 medley relay, 1:39.12. Colin Kehoe, first in 200 freestyle, 1:45.32. Jasper Appleton, first in 50 freestyle, 21.29; first in 100 butterfly, 51.37. Jordan Nguyen, first in diving, 438.50. Mike Kehoe, first in 100 freestyle, 48.78. Noah Baum, Colin Kehoe, Mike Kehoe, Appleton, first in 200 freestyle relay, 1:27.78. Kuehn, second in 100 backstroke, 55.80. Steffen, second in 100 breaststroke, 58.66. Stigman, fourth in 100 breaststroke, 1:00.16. Mike Kehoe, Colin Kehoe, Kuehn, Appleton, first in 400 freestyle relay, 3:12.92.

Rosemount Stephen Satnik, second in diving, 375.60. Grant Toenges, second in 100 butterfly, 52.54; first in 100 backstroke, 53.61.

A lot of hockey players would jump at the chance to play at Ridder Arena, but for Eastview’s girls it’s a case of been there, done that. Hill-Murray defeated the Lightning 4-1 in the Class AA quarterfinals Feb. 23, denying Eastview its state tournament of playing three games at the Xcel Energy Center. The loss sent Eastview back to Ridder Arena for its final two games last week. Eastview finished 17-12-2 after splitting two consolation bracket games at Ridder Arena, including a 3-0 loss to South Suburban Conference rival Farmington in the fifth-place game Saturday afternoon. The Lightning played at state for the third consecutive year and finished sixth, fifth and sixth in those tournaments. Eastview went into the quarterfinal game believing it could compete with Hill-Murray but realizing it needed to capitalize on its chances and avoid killer mistakes. Neither of those happened. “We had some chances,” Lightning coach Herb Harvey said. “Even when we were down 4-1 we had a couple shots by our ‘D’ that I don’t think their goalie saw at all.” Senior forward Natalie Snodgrass scored at 10 minutes, 6 seconds of the first period, tying the game 1-1. Hill-Murray regained the lead less than five minutes later on defender Taylor Wemple’s second goal of the game. Early in the second period a Lightning player tried to send the puck behind the Eastview goal to ease some Hill-Murray pressure but inadvertently swept it into the net. The

Eastview forward Natalie Snodgrass skates into the HillMurray zone during the state Class AA girls hockey quarterfinals. Pioneers added another goal about eight minutes later and Eastview couldn’t recover. The own goal “was a relief for us, no matter how you score it,” Hill-Murray coach Bill Schafhauser said, “but I really feel bad for the kid.” Getting a lead early would have been a boost for Eastview’s upset hopes, Harvey said, but when the Lightning fell behind it was left scrambling to catch up against a deeper team. Eastview used just two lines for a significant portion of the game. “Hill is a good skating team and as the game went on we had trouble matching their speed and depth,” Harvey said. Hill-Murray outshot Eastview 35-18, including 27-9 over the final two periods, but couldn’t carry the strong play over to its next two games. The Pioneers lost to Blaine 5-1 in the semifinals and 6-0 to Eden Prairie for third place. No. 1-ranked Edina defeated Blaine 4-0 in the final for the first state girls hockey championship in school history. The Lightning won on its return to Ridder Arena on Feb. 24, defeating Roseau 4-1 in the consolation semifinals. Roseau had a 41-24 advantage in shots on goal, but Lightning senior Kaitlyn Pellicci blocked 40 of the Rams’ shots. Snodgrass scored the

final two goals of her Eastview career, the first at even strength 4:28 into the game and the second shorthanded early in the second period. She also assisted on a goal by Haley Ford that put Eastview up 4-0 at 12:15 of the second. Mikayla Kelly scored in the first period. Mary Keating had two assists and Ford one. Farmington goalie Abby Bollig made 23 saves in the consolation championship game. Bollig, who also made 49 saves in the Tigers’ loss to Edina in the quarterfinal round, earned a spot on the alltournament team. The Tigers scored twice in the second period and added an empty-net goal with 55 seconds remaining in their third game against Eastview this season. The teams split two games in South Suburban Conference play. Snodgrass, Pellicci and Ford are part of the graduating class that also includes forward Sophia Mixa, defender Lindsay Ruedy, forward Molly Beckman and defender Allie Tuccitto. Several of the seniors played in the state tournament the last three years, which also were the first three state appearances in Eastview history.

AV boys clinch conference basketball championship Jones puts up 34 in victory over Eagan by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

It’s seemed clear for a couple of weeks that Apple Valley would win the South Suburban Conference boys basketball championship, but the Eagles’ 82-64 victory over Eagan on Tuesday night

made it official. Apple Valley remained undefeated in conference play at 17-0 and holds a two-game lead over Lakeville North with one regular-season game remaining. The conference title is the school’s fifth in a row. The Eagles (23-2 overall) led Eagan by two points at halftime before pulling away. Junior guard Tre Jones had 34 points, 11 rebounds and six assists

to lead Apple Valley. Luke Martens, also a junior, added 21 points. The two were a combined 23-for-40 from the field. Darby Sorensen had 22 points and Jaylen James 16 for Eagan, which is 4-13 in the conference and 7-18 overall. Apple Valley, which has won 17 consecutive games, closes the regular season at home against Burnsville at 7 p.m. Friday. The Eagles will be the No. 1

seed in the Class 4A, Section 3 playoffs that begin Wednesday, March 7. The rest of the Section 3 teams are battling for position in the seedings.

Eagan High graduate’s book aims to empower young girls Eagan High School graduate Josh Mozingo and Storysuits have launched their first book “Monkey Do Good� on Kickstarter. “Monkey Do Good� is a story about an independent girl who has a heart of gold. The story takes place deep within a jungle where a young girl wakes up to animals in need of a hero. The matching Storysuit is worn by the book’s young female protagonist. Two years ago, Mozingo, Storysuits founder and author, began work on the book after reading a study

led by Janice McCabe. It revealed there is a 2-to-1 ratio for male to female characters in children’s books. This inspired the writing of “Monkey Do Good.� The goal of the story is to empower preschool-aged girls with a strong independent female protagonist. The book is being paired a wearable Storysuit in an effort to encourage the child’s imagination and love for reading without the use of electronics. The book and its Storysuits have been tested with children at a licensed

Community Awareness raised

South metro churches to present clean energy event

Photo submitted

The 360 Communities Domestic and Sexual Violence Awareness Luncheon was attended by 330 people representing law enforcement, elected officials, members of the violence prevention movement, and concerned citizens. The program included guest speakers Minnesota Department of Public Safety Commissioner Mona Dohman (below, left) and Gender Violence Institute co-founder Chuck Derry (upper right in group photo). The theme was “Out of the Shadows and into the Light.� Speakers talked about how to engage others as allies in a world when there is more media coverage of domestic and sexual violence. 360 Communities honored First Sgt. John Thompson (below, right) of the Minnesota National Guard with the Community Caring Award, in recognition of his work to end domestic and sexual violence. Thompson is a sexual assault responder in the Guard and also volunteers with 360 Communities as a sexual assault services advocate. He is pictured with 360 Communities Director of Violence Prevention Ann Sheridan and 360 Communities President and CEO Jeff Mortensen.

Shepherd of the Lake Lutheran Church supported by InterFaith Creation Care South Metro will present “We Can Do This: A Clean Energy Future!� at Shepherd of the Lake Lutheran Church in Prior Lake on Earth Day, April 22. University of Minnesota teaching professor Dr. Jay Coggins will speak. He researches air and water policy, air pollution and public health. As an environmental economist he explains market-based approaches to environmental protection. His presentation will emphasize that a clean energy future is now. According to the group, environmental destruction has its biggest impact on the poor and future generations. As stewards of God’s Creation, we should be very concerned, they said. The biggest concern the average person has about mitigation is the cost, they say, but it may come as a surprise that inaction has a higher cost. This event is free and open to the public. It will take place 10-11 a.m. at the church at 3611 North Berens Road N.W. The event is supported by InterFaith Creation Care: South Metro, which is represented by Creation Care groups from 10 faith communities located in Rosemount, Eagan, Apple Valley, Burnsville, Bloomington, Lakeville and Prior Lake.

Raymond “Rayâ€? W. Terwilliger Creative and Gentle Soul Ray completed his life journey on Feb. 18, 2017, surrounded by family and loved ones. Born Sept. 1, 1924, in Parker, SD, he was the third of four children of James H. and Emma Terwilliger. Raymond married the love of his life, Georgia D. Wiedenman, on Sept. 19, 1944, in San Diego, CA, while he was serving with the U.S. Navy. At an early age, Ray learned how to repair and build almost anything, and after his father died in 1937, he worked odd jobs and hired out as a farm laborer to help support the family. Following the end of WWII, Georgia and Ray farmed for several years in South Dakota, then resettled in Minnesota in 1953, later building the family home near Savage. He worked for 27 years at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, where he quickly rose in rank from building maintenance staff to Building Superintendent, a position he held until his retirement in 1982. His creative craftsmanship and impeccable work ethic were widely recognized and his skills were sought out for many especially challenging custom design projects. In 1982, he partnered with his son, Scott, in the founding of Sunray Wood Products, Inc. (later Sunray Custom Cabinets and Furniture). Ray’s talents, curiosity, and keen eye for design kept him creating art works well into his 90s. After his retirement, Ray spent his remaining years doing what mattered most – spending time with family, and immersing himself in his many creative pursuits, including iron work, sculpture, woodcarving, macrame, jewelry, stained glass, and designing and building scale models of boats, tractors and trucks. He was a master problem-solver and loved the challenge of designing and building the perfect solution to most any problem. He was an artist and crafts-person and we are blessed to be surrounded by his many pieces of art. He was the quintessential partner, father, grandfather and great grandfather. His greatest joy was time spent with family and he relished every opportunity to do so. Ray and Georgia enjoyed countless days of sailing on Lake Pepin, VKDULQJ DGYHQWXUHV ZLWK IDPLO\ DQG IULHQGV DERDUG ÂżUVW WKH Georgie Girl, then the Keokia, for nearly 20 years. They traveled throughout the U.S., and enjoyed many trips to the Hawaiian Islands to spend time with Charlene and her family. Although he enjoyed exploring the quiet corners of the world, he was most at home in his shop or on his sailboat. He will be remembered for his quiet strength, his inquisitive, creative mind, and his calm and caring presence. He has been a gift to his family, his friends, and to the world, and he will be sorely missed. He is at peace, and continues to bless our world with his spirit and his legacy. Predeceased by his wife, Georgia; his parents; and siblings, Doreen (Howard) Hanson and James (Jean) Terwilliger. Survived by his brother Gordon (Lieselotte) Terwilliger. He will be sorely missed by his children, Charlene (Cal) Hoe, Pamela (Sonny Haas) Terwilliger, and Scott (Peg) Terwilliger. He was immensely proud of his grandchildren Kala (Kapua) Hoe, Liko (Hoku) Hoe, Kawai (Kaiu’lani Murphy) Hoe, Brian (John Leaderbrand) Martodam, Craig (Sara) Martodam, Shana (Jeff) Schmidt, Alisa (Jim Carter) Martodam, Kelly (Matt) Davis, Kristofer (Ashley) Terwilliger, and Nikolas (Anthea Young) Terwilliger; and great grandchildren Kahiwa and Maile Emma Hoe, Ola and Ulu Hoe, Keenan Walker, Marla, Avery, and unborn baby Schmidt, Bailey, Blake, Brayden and Chase Davis, Kinsley Terwilliger, and Austin and Jade Terwilliger. A memorial service and celebration of Ray’s life will be Friday, July 21, 2017, 2-7 p.m., at Cleary Lake Regional Park Pavilion, Prior Lake. Memorials preferred to the Alzheimer’s Association or the charity of your choice.

Violinist Mary Edwards was among the 15 students from Burnsville-based Minnesota Valley Conservatory of Music who performed Feb. 18 at the American Girl store in the Mall of America. The students were asked to perform there to mark the release of American Girl’s new doll Tenny, who is a musician. To thank them for playing, the store gave each of the students a Tenny doll. Minnesota Valley Conservatory of Music offers private and group music instruction for people of all ages; more information about the school is at www.mnvconservatory.com.

an area, the Twin Cities, that we felt would give us a great opportunity to reach people that a more rural setting would not.� Berean has resisted the advice of post-modern “church experts� who say the way to reach people today is by “softening your convictions,� Feltner said. “And so, where many mainline churches have said, ‘Let’s soften it to reach people,’ we’ve actually said, ‘No, we’ve got to hold to what’s true, but we need to make sure — 1st Corinthians 13 — that we do this in love, that we do it in a kind way,� said Feltner, of Elko. “Because I think the other extreme is truth that just bashes people over the head and doesn’t meet them where they are. We’re trying to hold that uncompromised middle ground, which is that we’re still going to be truthful, but we’re going to be very gracious and kind — at least that’s our desire — in how we have that conversation.� Also, modernity matters. “We are very intentional about our social media, Facebook, Twitter, the whole gamut,� said Feltner, who leads a staff of 40. “We have people dedicated to that. We have

what you would even call ‘rebranded.’ We’ve updated everything (such as) logos and things like that.� Berean’s average weekend worship attendance is 2,400 people, including 300 at the Lakeville campus, said Larson, of Farmington. With the addition, the church could accommodate up to 4,500 per weekend, Eiter said, between its current sanctuary, a gym space used for worship simulcasts, the new auditorium and the Lakeville site. Church leaders didn’t set attendance goals, he said. “Our primary purpose is we have no room and we’re growing,� Feltner said. “At some point you have to say we simply can’t keep adding services and adding services without expanding our facility.� The church had already retired its old debt when members voted to approve $18 million in new debt in February 2016, Larson said. Leaders expect to spend $11 million to $13 million on the addition. Future remote locations are possible for Berean, which has also planted new churches in past years.

Those who rent property to a designated offender in a prohibited area will be in violation. “There’s a responsibility on the landowner to know who they are renting to,� Francis said. The City Council voted 5-0 to approve the ordinance.

CHURCH, from 1A Berean, meanwhile, reports that its worship attendance has grown by 30 percent since 2014, and member giving by 24 percent. The church has expanded its worship space to a “simulcast� location in rented space at Kenwood Trail Middle School in Lakeville. Now Berean is planning a 30,000 square-foot expansion on churchowned land in Burnsville. The project’s centerpiece is a 1,046-seat worship auditorium west of the current church building, across Plymouth Avenue. The City Council approved the expansion Feb. 21, capping months of neighborhood controversy over what some nearby residents called an imposing “megachurch� project. The approved plans include generous screening and traffic-control measures to guide churchgoers away from the adjacent Interlachen Woods neighborhood. Berean’s lasting appeal, said elder board Vice Chair Craig Eiter, lies chiefly in a foundational belief in biblical literalism that’s no different now than it was in 1963, even as the church has made giant leaps in worship style,

Now the chamber is gearing up with email blasts and website postings about the project, she said. The city of Burnsville has relaxed its temporary sign regulations to allow businesses to guide motorists to their doors, Harmening said. “It’ll be short, but pain-

Craig Eiter is vice chair of the church’s elder board. marketing, video and social media. “It’s a very different world than even 25 years ago,� said Eiter, of Prior Lake. “It’s much more complex than it used to be. And I think the complexity can cause pain and it makes life hard to understand sometimes. And at the root at what we believe the Bible says is, ‘There is hope,’ and the hope is in the person of Jesus, who died for our sins.�

The church’s unabated growth, Eiter said, is also the byproduct of an unusually committed congregation and a history of charismatic head pastors. The last three are the Rev. Jerry Sheveland, 1981 to 1991, who went on to lead the Baptist General Conference; the Rev. Roger Thompson, 1991 to 2014, who remains on staff; and the Rev. Wes Feltner, who came to Berean in January 2014 from a church in De-

ful,� she said. The county will discuss the project with Burnsville’s police and fire departments and other ambulance services that travel to nearby Fairview Ridges Hospital in Burnsville. “The hospital isn’t so impacted with the westbound closure, but with the eastbound closure, there will be directional signing to the hospital,� Sass said. Roads that will carry detoured traffic include Burnhaven Drive, Aldrich Avenue, Nicollet Avenue, Buck Hill Road

and Southcross Drive and 150th Street West, according to the county. The bridge is owned by the Minnesota Department of Transportation, whose share of the project is about $1.5 million, Sass said. The county will pay $413,000 and the city $338,000, he said. Project information is at www.co.dakota.mn.us/ Transportation/PlannedConstruction/CR42I35WBurnsville.

catur, Ill. To his credit, Thompson volunteered to step aside to make way for a new head pastor and a new chapter for the church, Eiter said. “I’m pretty driven and passionate and very much concerned about leadership. I’m not big on status quo,� said Feltner, 38. “And so it just seemed like a beautiful fit for how God had wired me and what the church was looking for, in
