David Rucki working to rebuild life after daughters rescued by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Nine hundred and forty-four days of tortured, sleepless, relentless worry ended with a phone call for a Lakeville dad. “You better sit down,” David Rucki recalls a Lakeville police officer saying moments before telling him his missing daughters were found. Alive. “I just kind of backed into a wall, and slid down,” David said. “I just sat there. I couldn’t talk. I was really taken aback because I couldn’t really absorb it.” The girls, Samantha and Gianna Rucki, were

14 and 13 when they ran from their Lakeville home April 18, 2013, during a contentious custody battle. Their mother, Sandra Grazzini-Rucki, will be sentenced Sept. 21 after a Dakota County jury found her guilty of six felony counts of depravation of parental rights in July. In court, she admitted to hiding the girls from David Rucki and police, falsely claiming she did not know where they were after leaving them with strangers at a rural Minnesota horse ranch in 2013 and never interacting with David Rucki is working on rebuilding his family since his teen daughters have returned the girls again. home after being missing for over two years.

Apple Valley police are advising residents to be wary of an unlicensed tree-care service that’s been soliciting work in the area. City officials have received a number of complaints about Tree Tech — which is not to be confused with the legitimate company Tree Techs, police said. Tree Tech, which reportedly goes door-to-door offering tree-care services, does not have a city-issued solicitor permit. Among the complaints received, Tree Tech will take cash for job services, but doesn’t finish the job, doesn’t return calls to concerned customers and leaves a mess on the job site. “This has been a perennial issue for at least the last couple years,” Apple Valley police Capt. John Bermel said. Police advise residents who receive a visit from Tree Tech to call 911 while the company is in the neighborhood. “Officers can check out the employees and take enforcement action if necessary,” Bermel said. Police offer the following tips when choosing a tree-care company: • Only hire certified companies who have proof of insurance and proof of a license to operate in Apple Valley. • If you are approached by a company going door-to-door soliciting for work, they need to have a city-issued solicitor permit to do this.

Parkview Elementary School’s librarian for 16 years died last week after she was shot during a police citizens academy training exercise in Punta Gorda, Florida. Mary Knowlton, 73, who worked at the Rosemount-Apple ValleyEagan school in Lakeville from 1998 to 2004, is remembered as a person who was passionate about books and wanted to pass that love on to children. “Mary Knowlton was the center of our school at Parkview and she made

the library the heart of the building,” said Nicole Frovik, Parkview Elementary principal. “She passionately gave her heart to students, teachers and families. Her mission was to get books in students’ hands and to connect them with stories that would help them develop a love of reading.” While she was praised for her work with children, she also was committed to her co-workers. “She went out of her way to personally get to know each of her colleagues at a personal level,” Frovik said. “She asked questions, planned

fun outings and celebrated the people she worked with every day. I can still see her looking at me and asking, ‘How are you?’ and knowing that she really cared and wanted to know.” A Prior Lake resident since 1973, Knowlton worked at the Prior Lake Library before being employed at Parkview. She was on the Scott County Library Board from 1993 to 2001 and continued her commitment to libraries as a member of the Punta Gorda Library Board. “Mary touched so many people’s lives through her work as a school librarian and as a volunteer giving back to the community,” Frovik said. “She was a

quiet leader who always did the best for the people she encountered. She was a gift.” Knowlton worked as a substitute librarian in District 196 until 2013. Originally from Austin, Minnesota, Knowlton graduated from Austin High School and studied at St. Olaf College, the University of Minnesota and Minnesota State University-Mankato. Knowlton and her husband, Gary, were married for 55 years. One of their two sons, Steve Knowlton, said his parents attended the police academy for “a fun night,” according to the Sarasota-based Herald Tribune.

I-35W officials rally behind Orange Line Call for cooperation, not politics, in releasing funds by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Against the backdrop of a rapid-transit bus, officials from four cities went before the cameras Aug. 11 to plead for funding of the Orange Line from Minneapolis to Burnsville. Officials say regional and state funding have already been identified for the $150 million bus rapid transit line, which would provide high-frequency express service along Interstate 35W between Burnsville and downtown Minneapolis. But politics is blocking release of the money on the eve of a deadline when the state must demonstrate its financial commitment in order to secure crucial federal funding, officials say. A five-county transit board fractured by Dakota County’s departure from the board has yet to deliver its $45 million share. Another $12 million was expected from the state Legislature, which adjourned in May without passing a bonding bill that included the outlay. Hanging in the balance, officials say, is $66 million in funding through the Federal Transit Administration’s Small Starts grant program. A Sept. 2 dead-

line to finalize the local commitment looms. “In our experience, federal deadlines are not, quote, suggestions,� Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges said. “There is tough competition for these funds, and Minnesota must compete by Sept. 2.� It would be an “absolute tragedy� to miss the deadline and lose federal funding, said John Stanoch of the Minneapolis Regional Chamber of Commerce. Gathered near Highway 13 and Nicollet Avenue at the site of the Orange Line’s future Nicollet Avenue station, officials speaking for the project also included Burnsville Mayor Elizabeth Kautz, Bloomington Mayor Gene Winstead, Richfield City Manager Steven Devich, Burnsville Chamber of Commerce President Jennifer Harmening and Minneapolis Downtown Council transportation Chairman John Wheaton. On the sidelines of the media event was Dakota County Commissioner Liz Workman, of Burnsville, who said her County Board’s decision to leave the five-country transit board in 2019 should have no bearing on its release of already identified Orange Line funds. Bus rapid transit in the corridor, which already has 14,000 bus riders daily, would generate an excellent return on investment and farebox recovery of operating funds, Workman

said. “I just think it would be really tragic not to support this,� she said. “If this isn’t the blueprint for regional transit, I don’t know what is.� The Metropolitan Council’s request for a funding commitment for the Orange Line will be discussed Aug. 31, days before the federal deadline, at a special meeting of the Counties Transit Improvement Board. The Dakota County Board voted to pull out of CTIB earlier this year, claiming that it contributes 14 percent of CTIB’s light rail-intensive budget but gets back only 7 percent toward projects in Dakota County. CTIB is funded by a quarter-cent sales tax and a $20 motor vehicle sales tax in Hennepin, Ramsey, Dakota, Anoka and Washington counties. Workman suggested CTIB has retaliated against Dakota County by voting recently to put the Orange Line on the “back burner� and by rearranging project schedules to disadvantage Dakota County projects. “They call this a Dakota County project,� she said of Orange Line. “It’s not. It’s a Met Council project. Fourteen percent of it just happens to be in Dakota County.� Hodges and Kautz said the I-35W mayors have collaborated for years on remedies for the congested, 17-mile corridor from Burnsville to Minneapolis, which Hodges called “the

most well-traveled corridor in the state of Minnesota.� The I-35W Solutions Alliance was created in 1989, when the suburban cities were fighting with Minneapolis over whether to expand the freeway. By 2005, Kautz said, all the cities were united behind securing federal funds that built high-occupancy vehicle lanes from Burnsville to Minneapolis. I-35W has the most bus riders of any transportation corridor in Minnesota, “and yet we can make it so much better,� Hodges said. “Imagine being able to ride from here to downtown Minneapolis at posted speeds all the way, even at the peak of rush hour, while reading, listening to music or doing work on a smartphone, and it always takes just 26 minutes. Imagine being able to head back home at any time of the day if need arises and cruise past congested traffic.�

ty College in Bloomington, who comprise the largest contingent of the school’s 10,000 students, Winstead said. Delaying the project would also disrupt the calibration of redesign and reconstruction projects along three segments of the freeway, Hodges said. “They must not be unraveled,� she said. “These three projects have been planned to be constructed together during the same four-year period. Using funds that will expire soon, MnDOT must begin construction on the nothernmost segment in 2018. If the Orange Line project at Lake Street is delayed, it will increase direct financial costs and unnecessarily add a year or more in traffic delays due to construction.�

The Orange Line is expected to carry 26,400 daily riders by 2040, making it the “best-value large transit project in Minnesota,� Hodges said. “And here’s the best news of all: We don’t need any new money that hasn’t already been identified. We simply need to preserve regional and state funding already planned for this project.� Bloomington is already making development decisions based on the Orange Line, Mayor Winstead said. “The reason it is so important is that many Bloomington residents will be using that BRT line to go both directions — downtown into Minneapolis, but just as much, out to this side of the river, out to Burnsville, to shop and recreate and do different things,� he said. The line would also benefit Burnsville students at Normandale Communi-

Opinion National media should curb their unnatural fixation by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The national media have an unnatural fixation on the presidential race. While I concede that the presidential race is the most important decision voters will make on Election Day (or earlier if you are among the wise who will take advantage of no excuse absentee voting prior to Nov. 8), the amount of coverage, dissection and commentary on the top candidates for the highest office in the land is way too much. Reuters reports that about 7 percent of the eligible 235 million voters in America are undecided on their presidential choice. That’s 9 million people who have not decided if they support Republican nominee Donald Trump or Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. CNN, FOX News, CNBC and all of the major network channels are not covering the presidential race in order to help these undecided voters select a candidate. They are providing theater, entertainment and illuminating the conflict laced with a little bit of substance. TVWeek reported that viewership for Clinton’s acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention posted a combined 33.3 million viewers, shy of the 34.9 million who watched Trump’s Republican National Conven-

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Tad Johnson tion speech. Even if you counted all of the undecided voters watching the speech, there’s a much greater percentage who have already made up their minds about the race prior to watching the conventions. These are the same people who are tuning in to hear “talking heads” analyze what Trump or Clinton said today or yesterday. The national media know that this coverage drives ratings as they stoke the battle between two presidential candidates for several reasons. It’s easy: Focusing one’s news resources following the every move of two candidates is a lot easier than slipping down to the next highest elected political rung – U.S. Senate, which has 34 of its seats up for a vote this year. Minnesota does not have a U.S. Senate term expiring this year. Everyone’s involved: I almost titled this “Everyone’s interested” but I edited that to “involved” to note that everyone gets a vote on this race. One of the pri-

mary factors in determining a story’s news value is: How many people does it affect? The vote for president has a direct impact on each voter. Slip down to the U.S. Senate and the amount of people affected drops and viewership likely would lag in proportion. Great personalities: More so than any other presidential race in recent memory, 2016 has two of the most magnetic (depending on your point of view) candidates imaginable. The national media have turned Clinton and Trump into characters fit for an episode of “Dynasty” or “Dallas.” Depending on your party affiliation, Clinton and Trump are the “villains you love to hate,” just like Alexis Colby or J.R. Ewing. Personalities are harder to market in the Senate and House, though there are certainly a few, and 2nd District candidates Jason Lewis and Angie Craig are going to provide excellent, well-spoken contrasts for Dakota County voters. It is unfortunate that the national media does not spend more time on races like those for the U.S. Senate and U.S. House. These are the people who will be serving not only their individual state or district, but also the entire country on decisions like those related to the federal budget, military action, college loans and health care that affect our lives daily. Wouldn’t it be great if the Washing-

ton bureaus of CNN, FOX, CNBC and the major networks stopped for a few hours covering the presidential candidates and used their knowledge of the issues and resources to focus on Senate and House races, with interviews of the candidates and voters, organizing debates and offering some political analysis? Then they could turn that footage over to local media. Local media attempt to cover these races as much as possible, but the expertise to outline the issues for voters is a tall task. This newspaper and other community media will endeavor to give voters the information they need to make informed decisions this fall. We have 12 more weeks to offer up information not only about 2nd District candidates, but also all of the state Senate and House candidates (24), along with those seeking county board, city council and school board positions. We’d welcome your help. If there are issues or questions you think candidates for any of these offices should answer, contact me by email or phone, and we’ll try to gather those responses. These elected officials, after all, are going to serve you. Email Tad Johnson at tad.johnson@ecminc.com or call him at 952-846-2033. Follow him on Twitter @editorTJ.

Educators offer back-to-school suggestions by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Five major suggestions emerged from 38 Minnesota educators who responded to a request about brief “back-toschool” advice for families. I asked them what they recommend families do to help students get ready for school. These educators offered specific, practical advice. Virtually nothing these educators suggested requires spending money. The most frequently cited ideas involved: • Moving back into a school-year sleep schedule. • Encouraging and helping young people set goals. • Talking positively about the value of learning and schooling. • Developing or reconfirming a positive relationship with educators. • Model the kind of actions, attitudes and behaviors that you want young people to develop. Here’s what educators in this area suggested: Joseph Gothard, Burnsville-EaganSavage School District superintendent, wrote: “The summer-to-school

Provide affirmation and belief that compels students to give their best efforts and as a family define what success means for your child(ren).” Lisa Snyder, Lakeville Area School District superintendent wrote: “One of the best things parents can do to help their children get ready for school is to talk about all the wonderful opportunities they’ll have. So often, we hear at the end of summer that students ‘have’ to go back to class, when in reality, our students look forward to going back to

school. They get to reconnect with their friends, but they also get to learn. By setting a positive tone, parents can support their children’s achievement and positively impact their attitudes about school.” Sally Soliday, Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District director of elementary education, said: “It is important to convey positive, upbeat messages to your child about the upcoming school year. Enthusiastically share the excitement of seeing friends and also making new ones, meeting a new teacher and opportunities for new learning. Your encouraging words will go a long way toward setting your child up for a successful year.” Denise Specht, president of Education Minnesota, suggests: “Use the final weeks of summer to ease back into school routines by setting aside a time and place for homework and enforcing a steady schedule of bedtimes and wake-up times. Once school starts, communicate with your child’s teachers and learn the best ways to contact them and so you can learn about what is happening in the classroom. Always remember you are your child’s learning

role model. Show you like to read, write and know how to use technology appropriately.” Les Fujitake, Bloomington Public Schools superintendent, explained: “Parents can visit their children’s school website for information to help prep for the start of school. Parents can share their excitement for the coming school year by talking about their school engagement plans with their children. For example, parents can share their plans for being active in the school’s PTSA and/or volunteering at the school.” Like families, these educators are committed to students’ success. It doesn’t take a lot of time, and no money is needed to follow the five recommendations in my introduction. But time, thought and effort are required. However, following these suggestions will have real, positive results.

Letters Freedom Days was special To the editor: The 50th anniversary celebration of Apple Valley Freedom Days reminded me of how great the community of Apple Valley is. The commitment of the Freedom Days Committee, the Apple Valley American Legion and the city to the festivities was outstanding. After the a great reception for the military units in the parade the Apple Valley Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Network offered information at the pavilion near the Legion hall. Many people do not know that the group receives requests on nearly weekly basis for support from veterans or active duty service members and families. The requests for assistance are increasing and we are directing some to other organizations. Since

the Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Network started four years ago, they have received financial support from Bogart’s Place. Similarly, Freedom Days is made possible through financial support from the city, American Legion and other sponsors. The Legion donated $5,000 to the Apple Valley Arts Foundation and $11,500 to the Apple Valley Foundation (Fourth of July). The Freedom Days Committee is always looking for sponsors to help cover the costs. I felt we would enjoy a record turnout for the parade when I saw all the blankets laid out on the parade route early Sunday, July 3. This was an early indication of how much residents enjoy their city and are eager to show respect for those who have and will continue to work or fight to preserve our freedoms. We are patriots

and we celebrate our freedom and liberty. We honor and thank our veterans and active service men. The city has been ranked 17th best in the nation by Money Magazine. If one of their representatives had been here for the parade and had seen what I saw, we would be ranked No. 1. We certainly deserve this. My children and grandchildren come with us to the parade every year. When my nearly 6-year-old granddaughter Madeline was asked what she liked most about the Fourth of July, she responded without hesitation: “The parade!” We know our family and many others will be back next year to enjoy Freedom Days. God bless our military.

zero funding for the zoo. Such an oversight could have been fixed in the normal process of floor debate, amendments offered, legislation modified. Except this: the Republicans held back their proposal until the last minute and then presented it as a “take it or leave it” proposition. The zoo is located in District 57B. Anna Wills, a Republican, is the representative for that district. She claims to support the zoo, but she is a member of the party that continually denies the zoo’s needs. A majority of the 2016 construction season has already been lost due to obstruction and foot-dragging, primarily on the part of her party. We shouldn’t lose the rest of it, too. Wills needs to convince her own party to stop their short-sighted

To the editor: I am a longtime member of the Minnesota Zoo. Since joining, I’ve walked there a minimum of three times a week and I stopped keeping track after about 1,500 circuits. It is a wonderful way to get a bit of exercise and to see how this incredible Minnesota asset is doing. Since the end of the last legislative session, however, it’s been frustrating to see that none of the projects for maintenance or expansion can move forward, due to the lack of a bonding bill to fund them. While Republicans point fingers at Democrats for not accepting the bonding bill they put forward, the fact is that the WILLIAM H.

XX, from 1A tary draft deferments then consider his managment skills; four bankruptcies, 3,000 lawsuits for failing to pay his creditors and business partners, and his unwillingness to release his tax returns. His temperament: Consider his misogynistic attitude toward women, his denigrating of a person with disabilities, his refusal to condemn support of a known racist, his willingness to support violence at his rallies, belittling opponents, disparaging an entire religion, attacking grieving Gold Star parents. His judgment: He lies easily and often thinking it is the truth because he said it. He tells a foreign country (Russia) to hack into the Democratic National Committee’s data banks (reminiscent of Watergate) then says he’s being sarcastic. I don’t know which is worse. He says; “Lets ban all Muslims ‌ I am building a wall to keep out the Mexican rapists ‌ This Mexican judge (born in Indiana) cannot be fair to me ‌ Let’s pull out of NATO ‌ We should prosecute women who have abortions ‌â€? Commitment: Trump has had three marriages, and is infamous for his numerous infidelities. Uninformed: He was unaware Russia had invaded Crimea ‌ calls Putin a great leader ‌ did not know about Brexit. He offers no real plans for the country, only platitudes. Discipline: His inability to show even the least bit of discipline. His incessant Tweets, his ability to pick fights with everyone, public figures and normal citizens by tearing them down. Patience and reflective decision-making are not his style. I say it is time to put party and political considerations aside and put country and responsibility first. So how will you respond? As for me it will

The race card played in article

contender is, dare I say it – a racist! Yep, there’s that old worn out, beat up race card, again being played right off the bat by who we expect is a professional journalist. He goes on to say that the Cook Report said of Lewis’ victory, that the GOP put its weakest candidate in the race and it looks like the district is ripe for turning blue. I got news for anybody who wonders about that. Maybe Lewis doesn’t have the deepest pockets, and I guess in some people’s opinion, that means he’s weak. I submit that he is the best candidate put forward, and many of my fellow primary voters agree with me. Further, aren’t we sick and tired of deep pocket politicians? Prepare yourselves, friends. Over the coming months, the paper will attempt to publish every letter written by a handful of individuals who will continue to pull out that old race card and bang on the Angie Craig drum, but don’t believe it. Anybody who has listened to Jason Lewis over the years knows he is all about the truth, smaller government, and an honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay. He’s got my vote.

To the editor: I take exception with Sam Brodey’s article in the last edition of the paper entitled “Lewis wins handily in 2nd District GOP race.� At first, I thought I was reading a news article explaining a few numbers, voter turnout, etc. But the second half of the article turned into an opinion piece showing the writer’s obvious and blatant bias against Lewis and likely the GOP in general. Mr. Brodey writes: “particularly (Lewis’) comments on women, slavery, and race relations, will be a focus for Democrats.� Excuse me? What comments? Again, we see a statement disguised as fact, buried in the middle of an article, with no further detail or examples given, designed to make the reader assume. And in this example, that hopeful as- MARK BELLILE sumption is that the GOP Lakeville

Jason Lewis can’t tell time To the editor: Second District Republican candidate Jason Lewis can’t tell time. There are a number of Donald Trump-like statements attributable to Jason Lewis. He claims these were all made “a decade or more ago.� Mr. Lewis has a faulty memory. Here are some of his statements, with the time when they were made: He called young women “non-thinking.� (2012) He said the most important thing to a 25-year old unmarried woman is getting me to pay for her (birth control) pills. (2012) He said the “white population� has been “committing political suicide� and “committing cultural suicide� by not reproducing at higher levels. (2012) Lewis defended Todd Akin (the former Missouri senatorial candidate) for his outrageous remarks on “legitimate rape,� saying that consensual acts of sex later turn into allegations of rape “all the time.� (2012) Lewis has implied that slavery was okay when he questioned the Federal government’s decision to end slavery, declared that Abraham Lincoln “exploited the issue,� and de-

To the editor: Some 50-plus years ago a Democrat wanted a government that followed the Constitution and did what was best for every taxpayer regardless of political leaning. We now have a Democrat/Liberal/Progressive whose vote is/can be bought by a politician who promises to have the government provide more and more goodies. All this of course at the expense of those taxpayers that work hard (and want to work). The battle cry “soak the rich� entices all who don’t really feel the need or desire to be productive members of our society. These are the people politicians address when they declare “I’ll fight for you.� There are two candidates who are running for the office of president. One of them has a proven record of government “service,� that is 20-plus years of putting on luxurious air miles at the expense of the taxpayer, claiming to have done an outstanding job for the American taxpayer. The record shows differently. America has shown debilitating results during this time. The personal assessment of this candidate shows a consistent congenital tendency to lie with disastrous results for America, while at the same time accumulating millions of dollars of wealth. The other candidate has little if any government experience. Has established a record of great wealth in the private sector and has a tendency

to say inappropriate things however true they may be. Given the track record of both candidates it is easy to see where the “progressive� will lead us. This is the one you want to vote for if you want more government control, more taxes, more intrusiveness, more regulations. Let’s face it, if I lacked integrity, the prospect of getting a lot of things free and having other people pay for it would sure sound enticing. HENRY B. JANDEWERTH Eagan

Clausen is a community leader To the editor: We have an important vote in November. And that vote is not just about national politics. Our local legislators have more to do with our day-to-day lives than any of the other politicians. So it is important that we elect people who know and understand our community. And who have been here to see to the needs of our education system, the needs of our infrastructure, and how to best represent us. State Sen. Greg Clausen, DFL-Apple Valley, has not only represented us in St. Paul the last four years, but has spent his career as an educator in our community, working to solve problems and giving our young people a path to improving their chances in life. Clausen supports the Highway 52 and County Road 42 construction project, making that area safer and easier for our commuters. He works to make sure that all of our citizens have access to health care – working to fix the issues that come with a complicated system.

Pat Garofalo and Sens. Greg Clausen and Jim Carlson for sharing their valuable time with me and for the opportunity to hear their concerns and visions for the U. I look forward to building on our partnership in the 2017 legislative session. With them and others at the fair, I noted that the U is, by all measures, among the nation’s Top Ten public research universities — with top-notch students, world-class faculty and groundbreaking discoveries — and I shared some impressive statistics about your county’s relationship to the U. Dakota County is home to more than 4,000 of our U students — on all five of our campuses around the state — about 1,000 U employees and more than 24,000 of our University

of Minnesota alumni, who are your community leaders. For example, nearly 600 U Medical School grads live and work in your communities, along with 106 U College of Veterinary Medicine grads, about 500 of our School of Nursing alums and 4,000 College of Education and Human Development graduates who are active in your schools and social service agencies. As we do across all 87 of the state’s counties, the university has great impact on the lives, communities and prosperity of all Dakota County residents. Thank you, Dakota County for all you do to support the University of Minnesota. It was a pleasure to attend — and eat the great food — at your county fair.

Religion Community meals at Grace Grace Lutheran Church in Apple Valley will serve free community meals on Mondays, Sept. 12, 19 and 26. Dining hall doors open at 5:30 p.m. and dinner is served from 6-6:30 p.m. These meals are for senior citizens, single-parent families, families in transition and all others in the surrounding community seeking a healthy meal in

FAMILY, from 1A Lakeville police, following leads in an investigation that Sandra and fellow uncooperative accomplices sought to derail, discovered the girls at the ranch Nov. 18, 2015. For Rucki, his daughters’ discovery lifted a boulder of anguish he carried every moment they were missing. He described days of acute despondency, sitting in the basement alone clinging to a thread of hope. “That pain was unbearable, to try to live with that every day,� Rucki said. “There were a lot of days I sat at home in the basement and couldn’t function.� He described a “huge crying phase� where he could not stop sobbing. Longtime friend Tony Canney was one of the few people who stood beside David through the divorce, custody battle and years the girls were missing. The friends frequently spoke on the phone and Rucki often spent time at Canney’s Lakeville home, including once when Canney’s nieces and nephews were visiting; several were around Samantha and Gianna’s age. “He went out and cried in his truck for about a half hour,� Canney said. “I went and pulled him out of it.� Canney consistently

its first 20 years in Apple Valley on Sunday, Aug. 28, with a 10 a.m. special indoor worship service followed by a potluck outdoor meal. All community members are welcome to attend. The church is located at 14401 Pilot Knob Road. Former pastors, former directors of music and Spirit of Life charter members who have celebrates 20 moved away are among those being invited to take years part in the festivities. The Spirit of Life Presbyte- worship service will inrian Church will celebrate

clude a blessing of the remodeled church building. The church jazz band will entertain during the celebration meal. “Spirit of Life has been in the past and is today not only a special place, but a special group of people,� said the Rev. Robert Smith, current pastor. “According to our mission statement, our church is a spirit-led gathering for healing, belonging and serving. It is fitting that we celebrate 20 years of serv-

ing the Lord, and we invite our neighbors to celebrate with us.� For further information on the 20th anniversary program, call the church office at 952-423-2212, or visit www.spiritoflifeav. org.

listened, advised, calmed and helped David carry the weight of not knowing where his girls were. The burden often became overwhelming, especially when police asked Rucki to provide hairbrushes to capture the girls’ DNA. “I kind of talked him through it,� Canney said. “I said: ‘Hey, they’re not dead.’ � Rucki’s sister Tammy Love described David’s experiences through the divorce and while the girls were missing as “hell on earth.� “It was difficult to watch,� Tammy said. “It was just unreal. As it all unfolded, you handle it one crisis at a time.� While Rucki shared his emotions privately with those closest to him, he worked tirelessly to find the girls, regularly providing police information, contacting them often to help to forward the investigation. In his frustration, Rucki said he was determined to never give up, and regularly was searching for his daughters. He followed clues and even conducted surveillance (after consulting local police) at Dede Evavold’s house in St. Cloud where Sandra and the girls had traveled the first night. He missed them by a day. As the years passed,

The couple’s oldest son, Nico Rucki, now 20, testified at Sandra’s trial his mother’s claims of abuse by David never happened. David Rucki said he has felt the weight of the stigma against himself and the family for years, a weight that was so heavy Love said she was amazed at how he endured it. “He’s the strongest man I know,� she said. Rucki said he understands why people backed away as “antics� occurred that involved their neighborhood and the children’s schools, but said it was painful to watch his kids endure negative consequences of things they had no control over. He recalled the pain of his youngest son’s 8th birthday that the boy had eagerly anticipated. No parent whose child was invited responded to the invitation, even after Rucki left voicemails, and so there was no paintball party. “How do you tell a kid that?� Rucki said sadly. He said he never doubted Sandra was involved with the disappearance of their daughters because after the girls were gone, Sandra served him court papers that included letters signed by them. When the call came from Lakeville police stating they had been found, David’s relief was immediately followed by the ur-

gency of a plan for where they should go. Rucki said the girls were uncooperative and fearful with police, and he knew the family needed counseling. They eventually entered a family counseling clinic in California, and it was there David first saw his children. Samantha and Gianna were 14 and 13 years old on April 18, 2013, when they ran away, but David had not spent more than an hour or two in visitation with the girls since the divorce in May 2011. In their nearly five years apart, Samantha and Gianna had grown into young women, and as he nervously watched from the house as they walked toward the door. Sudden panic enveloped him, and he bolted around the corner to hide. “I start crying like a baby,� Rucki said. “I didn’t recognize either girl physically. To me, they’re little girls. Now they’re young women and I don’t recognize them.� He was also shocked to realize he couldn’t hear their voices when they spoke. “There was no memory, no audio,� he said. He described his state as “full-blown panic� because “nothing is computing ... the voices didn’t match the memory.� Rucki said it took sev-

a relaxed atmosphere. Although the meals are free, donations are accepted. For more information, call the church at 952432-7273. Grace Lutheran Church is located at the intersection of Pennock Avenue and County Road 42.

Rucki said he would not allow himself to believe Samantha and Gianna would never be found. His mother, worried about the devastating shock, suggested he contemplate that he may never see them again. “I always told my mom I can’t do that,� Rucki said. “I can’t think like that; I can’t quit. “If I give up, then who’s going to look for them? To have that burden put on you, that’s a weight that is unbearable.�

Stigma Love and Canney said David was under a cloud of suspicion because of Sandra’s public allegations of abuse against him. Following the Ruckis’ May 2011 divorce, Canney said Sandra spread false allegations about David to neighbors and parents in the Lakeville Hockey Association of which Rucki was president. Her claims of abuse have always been denied by Rucki. Lakeville police have said there is no evidence of abuse; after the divorce, police said Sandra filed restraining orders against David and claimed he was abusive. Dakota County courts awarded Rucki full custody of all five of their children in November 2013 while the girls were missing.

eral days before his memory could reconcile their voices to remember what his children sounded like. Small breakthrough moments have since happened, including when Rucki was injured in a particularly vulnerable part of his body by a horse during treatment. While the girls tried to restrain laughter and Rucki leaned on the fence wincing, Rucki said the therapist pointed out that he did not react in rage or violence. In the months since they have returned, he said the family is doing well. He is patiently working to building trust, establishing relationships and rebuilding the family ties; he said he has had to recognize their relationships may never be all he wishes they could be. Rucki said the children are looking forward to school and he has dreams for their futures. “I still want my kids to go to school, college if they can, get a job and be good people,� Rucki said. He said he is doing what he can to help everyone to deal with the “chaotic part� of their lives so everyone can move forward. “That’s the hardest part for me is trying to help them get to normal,� Rucki said.

Tractor parade shows off historical farm life Dakota County Fair favorite showcases antiques by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

One of the more genuine experiences at the Dakota County Fair is the daily antique tractor parade. Fairgoers line the dirt road in Dakota City Heritage Village every afternoon to watch about 50 antique tractors rumble through the historical town. It’s free and everybody can see. No one is trying to sell anything. While some people collect classic cars, many residents in Dakota County collect old tractors. It’s a nostalgic activity for those who remember firing up the old tractor during a day on the farm. Many of the owners are retired farmers. About 170 tractors from the 1920s to the 1960s rest in Dakota City during the fair.

The tractor parade started about 10 years ago, said Maynard Ohm. The Rosemount resident has announced the tractor parade for the past five years. “The people that have these antique tractors, they like to show them off,� Ohm said. Many drivers live nearby in Farmington, Lakeville, Rosemount and Randolph. The tractors don’t always work, so it’s a good excuse to get them out of the barn. “The guys don’t always use them enough,� Ohm said. “Once a year you start them up and you tend to find all sorts of things. With these older tractors, you have to get on the computer to figure it out or find parts. It seems like somebody always has an old tractor part sitting around.� A group of about 18

tractor enthusiast meet every Tuesday morning for coffee before coming together to work on the tractors through Dakota City. The groups started meeting about 15 years ago, Ohm said. “There’s enough guys with talent that someone usually knows how to fix something,� Ohm said. “Every problem is a bit different.� The tractors usually have a trick to get them going. “They can be hard to drive,�Ohm said. “There’s no power steering.� The owners also appreciate the fact that other people care about what farming was like 50 years ago. “It’s a lot of fun for us,� Ohm said. “Hopefully it lasts a long time.� Email Andy Rogers at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Father-son print industry team deliver Dan Reeves is a 35-year veteran of the printing industry who has seen it all. He once owned a competing print franchise that he was unhappy with and then worked in the corporate world for 10 years before finding what he thought was the right opportunity to rejoin the world of entrepreneurship in the form of a Minuteman Press franchise for sale in Burnsville. Located two miles from his house, Reeves researched Minuteman Press and liked what he saw in terms of local support and a unique capped royalty structure, and was sold. He bought the franchise, brought his son Mike on board to help grow the business, and they recently celebrated the business’ one-year anniversary. “I was just searching online, saw an opportunity, and learned about the franchise,� Dan Reeves said. “It’s really important to learn about the franchise, that they’re going to be there to support you. Take care of you if you are stumbling and falling, try to educate you. I just loved it right away.� In 35 years, Reeves has seen the print industry

Coyotes a problem, Burnsville council told by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Burnsville will look into the city’s coyote problem and consider responses, Mayor Elizabeth Kautz said Aug. 16. She was responding to a resident who said coyote sightings have grown more frequent in his east Burnsville neighborhood, where a pack of coyotes killed a deer two years ago. Michael Larson, 3301 126th St. E., said he’d seen single coyotes in his yard twice in the previous two weeks. Neighbors at the end of his cul-de-sac saw a pack of four. And animalcontrol personnel to whom he reported the sightings said they had seen a pack of eight near County Road 11, Larson said. He aired his concerns during the citizen-comment portion of the Aug.

16 City Council meeting. “They’re getting out of control,� said the 21-year resident, whose home is east of heavily wooded Terrace Oaks Park. “The one I had in my yard, I yelled at it and it just ignored me. So I chased it and it just kind of trotted off. If you get a pack of two or three or four, they’re not going to run away so easy.� Kautz said the city will try to determine if the problem is localized or citywide and will consult with agencies such as the state Department of Natural Resources. “It’s on our radar, and we’ll start to monitor it,� she said. Larson said the animalcontrol people he spoke with say they need a council directive to take any action. Burnsville contracts with American Boarding Kennels for those services.

Two years ago in February a pack of five coyotes killed a deer in a neighbor’s yard, Larson said. “When you see the blood splatter in the yard from being attacked like that,� it’s unsettling, he said. He doesn’t have pets, but some neighbors do, he said. Sightings of single coyotes and packs aren’t unusual in the south metro. Four summers ago Apple Valley officials fielded a wave of calls about pack sightings. In Eagan, a small dog was killed by a coyote in the summer of 2013. Eagan police have hosted a seminar called “Living Safely with Coyotes.� Coyote attacks on humans are extremely rare, according to the Humane Society of the United States.

Sports It’s a new season for high school sports

The official start of the 2016-17 high school sports season was Monday, when practices for fall sports opened throughout Minnesota. At Eastview High School, players gathered to try out for what is expected to be another competitive Lightning soccer team. Goalkeeper Claudia Pueschner (above) helped her team decide on a lineup for an intrasquad scrimmage, and then the players got down to business (right). Eastview’s season opener is 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 25, at East Ridge. (Photos by Mike Shaughnessy)

Notebook: Local players take the field for Gophers

Wildcats unquestionably the team to beat in Class 3A volleyball Eagan returns entire varsity from 2015 state champs

SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

As many as eight players with ties to the Sun Thisweek Newspapers coverage area could be in uniform when the University of Minnesota plays its first football game of the 2016 season Sept. 1 against Oregon State at TCF Bank Stadium. The most high-profile player in that group is quarterback Mitch Leidner, a senior and Lakeville South High School graduate. Depending on which draft analyst you listen to, Leidner is projected as a first-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, a middle-round sleeper, or an undrafted free agent who will get invited to a team’s minicamp. In other words, a lot is going to depend on how he plays this season – for both the Gophers’ 2016 season and Leidner’s football future. Leidner, who says he’s recovered from a foot injury that bothered him much of last season, passed for 2,701 yards last season, the fourth highest total in Gopher history. He will run a new offense installed by Lakeville native Jay Johnson, who took over as the Gophers’ offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Dec. 30, 2015. For the last five years Johnson was offensive coordinator at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Matt Leidner, Mitch’s brother and also a Lakeville South graduate, is a redshirt junior offensive lineman. He played in three games last season. Other local players on the Minnesota roster include freshman receiver Clay Geary of Lakeville South, redshirt freshman offensive lineman Noah Kuehn of Eagan, freshman linebacker Kamal Martin of Burnsville, redshirt freshman receiver Matt Morse of Apple Valley, redshirt sophomore receiver Will Reger of Burnsville and redshirt junior quarterback Conor Rohda, an Eagan resident who played high school football at Cretin-Derham Hall.

the NCAA semifinals. She had 120 kills and 237 digs. Goehner, who played on two state championship teams at Lakeville North, received the Ms. Volleyball award in 2013. Senior setter Erica Handley is a Lakeville resident and started for Lakeville North’s 2012 state high school championship team. She played in five matches last season. One of the Gophers’ top freshmen is 2016 Rosemount High School graduate Brittany McLean, who was the 2015 Ms. Volleyball award winner for the Irish. She also was named a first-team All-American by the American Volleyball Coaches Association. McLean is Rosemount’s career leader in kills and aces. The volleyball team begins its season at the Stanford Invite on Aug. 27-28.

Dundas defeated Elko phers team that reached

5-3 on Aug. 10, completing a sweep of the best-ofthree series in Section 1B. Dundas and Miesville advanced to the state tournament from Section 1B. The Rochester Royals and Austin Greyhounds will go to state from Section 4A. Rochester defeated Burnsville 11-8 on Sunday in the deciding game of a best-of-three series. The Bobcats dropped the first game 11-2 but won 9-5 on Saturday to force a deciding game. Austin rallied to defeat Eagan 6-5 in 12 innings Sunday afternoon at Eagan High School to win the third game of a bestof-three series. Eagan led 4-1 after seven innings but Austin tied the game in the eighth with a three-run homer. Bad weather caused postponements Thursday and Friday, forcing Austin and Eagan to play a doubleheader Saturday. Austin won the first game 10-0 but Eagan took the second 11-6 to force the deciding game. This is the first time since 2011 Eagan has not advanced to the state tournament.

Preseason rankings often are regarded as meaningless because they typically reflect who was good last season, without regard to how many players – if any – a team has returning. In Class 3A volleyball, however, it’s different. Eagan won the 2015 state championship and didn’t graduate any varsity players, so the Wildcats’ preseason No. 1 ranking in 2016 makes sense. They’re the team to beat until somebody proves otherwise. But the Wildcats don’t have to look far to find teams with the ambition and talent to knock them off their perch. Prior Lake and Lakeville South, two of Eagan’s South Suburban Conference rivals, are second and third in the preseason Class 3A rankings. Another SSC team, Shakopee, is seventh. Eagan and Prior Lake battled in a memorable Class 3A championship match last November, with Eagan winning 15-13 in the fifth set to earn its sixth state title. Fall practice just started Monday, but Eagan coach Kathy Gillen hasn’t seen any sign of complacency from her players. “A year makes a big difference in all of the players’ improvements,” Gillen said. “Where I didn’t feel like we had a lot of depth last year, I do think we have more this year because the girls are playing at a higher level in all areas of the game. They will be great competition for each other and will push each other to get better.” Seniors Brie Orr and Alyssa Doucette are captains, as is junior McKenna Melville. Orr, who has committed to the University of Iowa, started on Eagan’s 2013 and 2015 state championship teams. Doucette, a Missouri State recruit, and Melville, who committed to Central Florida, were starters last season. The captains will have a lot of responsibility for keeping the Wildcats on course, but “honestly, though, my expectations are the same for all of my players,” Gillen said. Orr has a hybrid role for the Wildcats – attacker when in the front row, setter when in the back row. In three matches at last year’s state tournament, she had 49 kills and 86 assists.

Melville had 23 kills and 36 digs. Junior outside hitter Ally Murphy was a key player in the Wildcats’ run to the 2015 state championship. She had 38 kills in three state tournament matches. In the final against Prior Lake, Murphy had 13 kills in 30 attacks and only three errors. Eighth-grader Kennedi Orr did the setting last season when her sister Brie was in the front row. She had 61 assists in the state tournament and also is one of the Wildcats’ top defenders. Senior Taylor Olstad was a defensive specialist last year and had 60 digs in the state tournament. Hannah Hegwer had 13 digs against Prior Lake in

the state title match. Also returning from last year’s varsity team are senior setter Emma Slaikeu, junior outside hitter Anne Wong and sophomore middle hitter Ellie Husemann. Most of the players in Eagan’s program play club volleyball before and after the high school season. For some, the club season ended about five weeks ago, making it a relatively short break. Gillen also said it takes a couple of weeks for girls who played on various club teams throughout the metro area to get re-acclimated to playing with each other and playing Eagan’s system. Eagan’s first match is at home against Minneapolis Southwest at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 30.

August 19, 2016 SUN THISWEEK - Apple Valley

Clinic expands its reach Physical therapy added to chiropractic, other treatments by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lakeville Family Health Clinic is a business success story still in the making. Started 15 years ago in the Ipava Marketplace strip mall off 160th Street and Ipava Avenue in Lakeville, the business has twice expanded, changed its name to reflect a greater selection of services and recently added a licensed physical therapist. Clinic owner Andrea Ruhland doesn’t expect the growth to stop there. She said she wants to add a physician and nurse practitioners to address clients’ health issues more comprehensively. In January, the business changed its name from Lakeville Family Chiropractic to Lakeville Family Health Clinic to reflect that the business addresses more than just chiropractic. “We are here to help people with their health,” Ruhland said. “We want to make it convenient by having all the treatments under one roof.” After its founding in 2001, the business expanded to occupy another suite

in the strip mall in 2006 and added a fourth in 2011 when it created six acupuncture treatment bays. Ruhland, who has been practicing chiropractic for 27 years, became certified in acupuncture treatment prior to the last expansion. “People are becoming more aware of acupuncture,” Ruhland said. “I was referring people to others, but I realized that I can start doing it here. I’ve always been interested in acupuncture and holistic healing.” The business employs about 10 associates, including a number of massage therapists. Physical therapist Lindsay Dahling, an Apple Valley resident, was hired recently to help diversity the clinic’s offerings. She graduated with a doctorate in physical therapy from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse in 2013. “I am passionate about helping people achieve their maximum function and reach their therapy goals in order to live a more fulfilling life,” she said. She said she was drawn to the profession after

working as an intern at a La Crosse hospital. “I knew I wanted to do something in the health care field,” she said. “Physical therapy was one of those options.” Dahling specializes in orthopedic pathologies, chronic pain and spinal pain among other areas. She is a member of the American Physical Therapy Association and Minnesota Physical Therapy Association. “I really enjoy educating people about the body, injury prevention … and teaching them appropriate exercises to prevent injuries,” she said. There’s always something new in chiropractic and its associated treatments. Letting clients know about those innovations is part of the interest for Dahling and Ruhland. The clinic is offering free use of one of its new pieces of equipment – a stand-up vibration therapy station. The piece of equipment sways the body back and forth in an attempt to activate many of the body’s muscles. Ruhland said 10 minutes on the machine is as good as an hour of exercise. The treatment aims

(Photo by Tad Johnson) to improve bone density, weight loss and blood flow. “I have always put an emphasis on patient education,” Ruhland said. “A lot of people who come to us don’t know about chiropractic because those in their late 20s or early 30s have never been to one.” Ruhland said she is treating more children whose parents are seeking to help them improve their general health or treat specific issues like ear infections or joint paint.

“We are all about getting results,” Ruhland said. With the addition of Dahling, the clinic is seeking to become Medicare certified. That would allow the clinic to accept Medicare coverage for some treatments. The clinic is “in-network” for PreferredOne, HealthPartners, Cigna and UCare among other health care providers. People can call the clinic to determine if it is in their

health care network. The clinic is participating in a nationwide Rand Study regarding “Chiropractic Care for Chronic Pain.” Patients in the study are surveyed monthly for three months, in addition to five 10-minute followup surveys. More information about the clinic is at http:// www.lakevillefamilychiropractic.com.

August 19, 2016 SUN THISWEEK - Apple Valley

District 196 high schools rank among top in nation by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

All four core high schools in the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District are among nation’s best high schools, according to Newsweek. Eagan, Eastview, Apple Valley and Rosemount high schools were recently ranked on the magazine’s list of top high schools in 2016. The annual list ranks schools based on a broad range of data to determine what institutions do the best job of preparing students for college, according to Newsweek’s website. “It’s nice to see an academic measure of our schools that’s not just (standardized testing) criteria. It goes beyond that and shows excellence in our academics,� said Steve Troen, director of teaching and learning at District 196. Eagan was ranked 109 of 500 top schools in the country due to its high graduation rate and large percentage of college-bound and college-ready students. Eagan High School has a 99.1 percent graduation rate and 90.8 percent of those students are college bound, according to state data. Of those planning to attend college, 82.6 percent are ready for their first year, according to Newsweek data.

Rosemount High School was ranked 427. It’s graduation rate is 94.6 and 87.7 percent of those students are college bound, according to state data. Of those planning to attend college, 73.7 percent are ready for their first year, according to Newsweek data. Apple Valley High School ranked 446. Its graduation rate is 95.8 and 91.6 percent of those students are college bound, according to state data. Of those planning to attend college, 73.9 percent are ready for their first year, according to Newsweek data. Eastview was ranked 470 in the nation. Its graduation rate is 99 percent and 92.9 percent of those students are college bound, according to state data. Of those planning to attend college, 73.7 percent are ready for their first year, according to Newsweek data. All four schools have consistently beat the statewide averages on state standardized tests. Proficiency in reading and science has stayed around 75 percent among Rosemount High School students for the past three years, according to Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments data. The test is given annually to all Minnesota students in grades 3-8 and 10 in

reading, grades 3-8 and 11 in math and grades 5, 8 and high school in science. At Rosemount High School, 77 percent of students in 2016 were proficient in science and 72 percent of 10th-graders were proficient in reading, according to the results released in July by the Minnesota Department of Education. The state average for 10th-grade reading is 60.8 percent and 63.8 percent for high school science. Math scores among Rosemount High School students dipped slightly between 2013 and 2015 but climbed back up to 64.2 in 2016. Despite the dip, Rosemount’s math scores have consistently been higher than the state average which was 49.2 in 2016. Eagan High School’s proficiency has remained around 75 percent in all areas for the past three years. Of Eagan High School students tested in 2016, 82.3 percent were proficient in science, 77.9 percent in reading and 75.3 percent in math. Of Apple Valley students who took the test in 2016, 58 percent showed proficiency in science, 61.5 percent in reading and 53.4 percent in math. Reading scores among Apple Valley students fell from around 70 percent in 2013 to just over 50 percent in 2015 but climbed back up in 2016. Science scores also fell in 2014 but increased to about 58 percent in 2016.

Math scores fell from about 60 percent in 2013 to about 50 percent in 2015 but climbed a bit in 2016. Of Eastview students who took the MCAs in 2016, 81.9 percent showed proficiency in reading, 75.2 percent in science and 71.8 percent in math. Eastview test scores dipped in 2014 to 64 percent but has climbed back up over the past two years. Reading scores among Eastview students have stayed between 75 and 80 percent and science scores have fluctuated slightly over the past three years. In addition to being named among the nation’s top schools, District 196’s core high schools were ranked among Newsweek’s Beating the Odds list for 2016. This list identifies schools that do an excellent job of preparing low-income students for college. “It’s exciting that quite a few Minnesota schools made the list of top schools, but more so that our schools made the Beating the Odds list,� Troen said. Eagan High School, which has a poverty rate of 15.8 percent, was ranked 137 of 500 Beating the Odds schools. Rosemount, which has a poverty rate of 18.8 percent, was ranked 412 on the Beating the Odds list. Eastview, which has a poverty rate of 19.1 percent, was ranked 392. Apple Valley High School was ranked 212

in the nation. Apple Valley has the highest concentration of poverty among district high schools with 34.1 percent of its students living below the poverty line. Proficiency levels among students who receive free and reduced lunch at all District 196 high schools have consistently exceeded the state averages. In 2016, 35.2 of district 11th-graders who received free and reduced lunches were proficient in math compared to 24.8 percent statewide, according to MCA scores. That same year, 48.1 percent of 10th-graders who received free and reduced lunch were proficient in reading and 48.9 percent of high school students receiving free and reduced lunch were proficient in science. By comparison, 38.4 percent of 10th-graders statewide who received free and reduced lunch were proficient in reading and 34.4 percent were proficient in science. The School of Environmental Studies, which is a small magnet high school located at the Minnesota Zoo, doesn’t appear on either Newsweek list. SES also consistently beats state averages in graduation rates and standardized test scores. Jessica Harper is at jessica.harper@ecm-inc.com or facebook. com/sunthisweek.
