Developer held open house 55 years ago Stories from an Orrin Thompson salesman and his customers by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

On the second Sunday in January, 55 years ago, Orrin Thompson held an open house in Lebanon Township to attract customers for his new development. Nearly six years later, in 1968, Lebanon Township residents would vote incorporate the Town of Lebanon as the Village of Apple Valley. It would take six more years for Apple Valley to become a statutory city, which it did on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 1974. Still, in 1963, Thompson and his associates were already referring to the area as Apple Valley. Interested buyers traveled on dirt roads through corn fields and cow farms to tour three model homes Thompson’s company had built on Hayes Road. Gene Hoy, 88, was one of the first people the customers encountered when they reached their destination. He’d been hired in December of 1962, along with three other men, to sell homes in the new development.

The Apple Valley Arts Foundation is yet again offering a way to beat the winter blues with the 2018 Frozen Apple Concert Series. The foundation will bring three different bands to Apple Valley: the Michael Handler Project in January, Patty Peterson and the Jazz Women AllStars in February, and the Riverside Hitmen in March. The Minneapolis-based Michael Handler Band is made up of three men who play about half of their gigs as a trio and the other half as duo or solo performances. Handler is bringing the full trio to Apple Valley on Saturday, Jan. 13 to kick off the Frozen Apple Concert Series. While the musicians sing in three-part harmony, they’ll play an assortment of instruments. Handler plays acoustic guitar, and Dan Ferstenou plays a mix of lead acoustic guitar, banjo and acoustic bass.

The Michael Handler Band will kick off the Frozen Apple Concert Series hosted by the Apple Valley Arts Foundation. The trio is made up of Michael Handler (center) on guitar, Dan Ferstenou (right) on guitar and banjo and John Michaels (left) on drums. John Michaels plays the drums. He’ll switch from a cocktail kit — featuring a snare, tom and kick-drum — to bongos, shakers, tambourines and cow bell. “We love to play as a trio,� Handler said. “We get a bigger variety, and we switch between instruments. It allows us to play a huge range of music.� He’s been playing acoustic arrangements with others for the past 15 years, but the trio came together six years ago. Through playing together, the three men have helped each oth-

er become better musicians. “It’s always been my goal to surround myself with musicians more talented than me,� Handler said. The Michael Handler Band mostly plays covers — acoustic renditions of some of the greatest songs from the 1950s through today. “We play everything from the Everly Brothers to Taylor Swift,� Handler said. The band also plays a few originals. Handler has three recorded albums of

original music he’s composed over the last 20 years. But Handler said they like to play songs people know, and they alternate between newer and older songs so that all audiences can find something they connect with. Playing the songs acoustically allows Handler, Ferstenou and Michaels to make the music their own. “Sometimes we will throw in a banjo where there isn’t a banjo, and sometimes we will change See CONCERT, 7A

After the Dakota County Board approved several employment contracts at the end of 2017, the new year started with another round of threeyear agreements. Six different employee groups had their pay scales set for Jan. 1, 2018, to Dec. 31, 2020, as part of the board’s consent agenda Jan. 2.

The increases in the agreements are in large part the same for the 150 Library Department employees, 58 nurses in the Public Health and Social Services departments, 56 licensed sheriff’s deputies, 28 transportation maintenance employees and 17 licensed supervisors in the Sheriff’s Department. For each of the agreements: • The salary ranges in the 2018 County Pay Eq-

uity Salary Range Structure increased 2 percent. • General increases for each of the years 2018-20 are 2.5 percent • There are amounts set in the merit matrix allowing 1-4 percent increases based on performance. The Jan. 1, 2018, to Dec. 31, 2020, agreement with the 35 assistant county attorneys’ bargaining unit has different terms. While the salary ranges are still increasing based

on the Pay Equity structure, the 2019 and 2020 range structure will increase 2 percent. In 2018-2020 there will be no general increase and the non-union merit matrix will be utilized. The 2018-2020 Merit Matrix is consistent with the 2018 County non-union Merit Matrix. The six different employee groups represent 344 employees. Three contracts for dif-

ferent county employee groups set forth similar compensation increases for 2018-2020 when they were approved in December. Those contracts were for 802 employees in the county, which has more than 1,850 workers. Contact Tad Johnson at tad. johnson@ecm-inc.com or at twitter.com/editorTJ.

Kids ’n Kinship celebrates National Mentoring Month A game of catch turned into seven years of mentorship

by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Robert Ward had seen the presentations by the Rotary Club for years, but he never considered becoming a Kids ’n Kinship mentor himself until his youngest son was a sophomore in college. The not-for-profit organization expressed the same need at the presentation Ward attended in 2010 as they do today: kids needed mentors. “My kids were gone, and I thought maybe I could help out a boy,� Ward said. “I missed doing things with my own kids — just playing ball and coaching, doing things like that.� So, in the beginning of 2011, Ward called Kids ’n Kinship and said he was interested in being matched with a mentee. The organization met with him and showed him several potential matches. No names of the children were provided, but Ward could read descriptions of the children’s interests and background situations. “One boy really struck me,� Ward said. “His father had just passed away. He has a single mom trying to raise seven kids. It just struck me that it might be a really good fit.� Ward and his wife, Shelley, met with the boy and his mother. They talked about some of the things the mentee was interested in doing. Ward

Robert Ward and his mentee recently celebrated the seventh anniversary of becoming a Kids ‘n Kinship match. Left: Ward and his mentee attend a Timberwolves basketball game together in 2011. Right: Ward and his mentee attend a Minnesota Twins baseball game together in 2017. expected the 9-year-old to suggest going to Nickelodeon Universe or other big and expensive activities. But the boy’s answer surprised him. “He said he wanted to go play catch with a football,� Ward said. “That’s when it hit me: they just need a sounding board, someone as an outlet.� Now, Ward’s mentee is 16, and Ward has been striving to be a positive male role model in his life for nearly seven years.

For the first five years, the mentor pair met every week. They had fun doing activities from playing catch and basketball to going canoeing and swimming. Now they meet every two or three weeks. They watch a professional sports game on TV or eat a home-cooked meal together. “It’s a lot of hanging out — being there for him,� Ward said. Ward still finds that one of his main roles as a

mentor is to be a sounding board. He’s listened while his mentee told stories about things that have happened at school or at home, and he’s helped him process those events. “Kids ’n Kinship does a wonderful job of training you. You aren’t there to be another parent. You’re there to be an adult friend,� he said. “In this day of social media and 24-hour news and communication, there’s

Recently, Ward helped his mentee apply for jobs. The 16-year-old has been working at a restaurant for two months. “He’s realizing that this is real life. Having a job has matured him significantly,� Ward said. “I told him ‘I’m really proud of you. You are taking on a lot of responsibility, and you are doing it well.’ � January is National Mentoring Month. Kids ’n Kinship is celebrating its 67 mentor-mentee matches, and it is looking for volunteer mentors for 21 kids on the waitlist. “Most of the time, our volunteer mentors say that they are getting involved to make a difference for a child, but what many of them find is that they benefit so greatly from it themselves,� Kids ’n Kinship Director Jan Belmore said. Mentors are asked to commit to one year with their mentee, but Belmore has discovered that Kids ’n Kinship matches stay together for an average of three years. “That extended time speaks to the fact that people get invested in it. They find it enjoyable,� Belmore said. “It becomes less about ‘what are we going to do’ and more about the bond that has developed. It’s more about true friendship.� To learn more about national efforts, visit: www.mentoring.org/ourwork/campaigns/national-mentoring-month.

Ward said the organization helped him come up with ideas for new activities, and they encouraged him to simply ask his mentee what kinds of things he might be interested in as he got older. Kids ’n Kinship also makes tickets available for events and outings — Ward and his mentee especially enjoyed going to the Science Museum of Minnesota and sporting events throughout the years. Whether they are baking a pizza, watching a sports game or doing an activity, Ward said the gift of time is the most valuable thing he has to offer. “To know that somebody appreciates you, for who you are — having a sounding board — that’s the most important thing for these kids,â€?

County building heading into a new Galaxie Extensive remodeling of the Apple Valley library to begin in February by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Frequent visitors to the Galaxie Library in Apple Valley will experience a change in their routine next month through about Labor Day when the library will close for extensive renovations. The Dakota County Board approved two contracts for the project during its Jan. 2 meeting totaling $3.14 million for the renovation work and new automated material-handling (AMH) equipment for check-in and check-out. Mankato-based Brennan Construction of Minnesota Inc. won the construction contract with a low bid of $2.945 million among several bidders. The company, which recently completed a renovation of the Northfield Public Library, also has an office in Edina. It has completed other Twin Cities projects, such as a fire station in Ramsey and the Children’s Museum of Southern Minnesota, which was developed inside a former city garage. The other two lowest bidders were within $120,000 of Brennan’s bid, making the project a very competitive one. County staff and Bentz Thompson Rietow Archi-

Virtually all of the spaces inside the current Galaxie Library in Apple Valley will be altered after a renovation project starts in February. tects reviewed the bidder qualifications and found that Brennan had a responsible bid. The renovation project will be paid for using a portion of the $5.4 million that was included in the adopted 2017 Capital Improvement Program budget for design and construction of the Galaxie Library Renovation. The funding will be carried over to 2018 as part of the annual carryover process. County officials said the project will move most library features, including the collections for children and teens along with moving the restrooms.

A new iLab, which includes 3D printers, Apple iMac computers and Adobe Creative Suite, will be a focal point visible from the new lobby. A new AMH equipment room and relocated book drop and new staff work areas will be on the east side of the building. Georgia-based Bibliotheca LLC, which has an office in Oakdale, Minnesota, won the AMH contract for $198,452. The new system will have internal and external book drops, 11 bins and will be expandable, according to the county. It will allow multi-item

returns, read radio-frequency identification tags and sort materials. County staff said it will reduce staff hours needed to sort materials, reduce the potential for repetitive stress injuries, and will reduce time materials are out of circulation. The Galaxie Library design includes a purpose

built room for the equipment to keep noise out of office areas and features a large window so the public can see the books they return get sorted. All Dakota County Libraries currently have AMH systems except the Galaxie Library. Funding for the AMH of up to $250,000 was included in the approved 2017-2021 Building Capital Improvement Program budget for the Galaxie Library Renovation. The funding that remains at the end of 2017 will be carried over to 2018 as part of the annual carryover process. The construction is planned to begin in February 2018 and will continue through August. The Galaxie Library will close Jan. 29. A temporary library space in the Western Service Center lobby will incorporate Conference Room 108. Services available in the

interim library include: Holds and returns, Law Library, a small collection of popular titles will be available for adults, printer and copier and Chromebooks may be checked out for use in the atrium. Full library services, materials and programs are available at nearby county libraries: • Burnhaven Library, 1101 W. County Road 42 in Burnsville • Heritage Library, 20085 Heritage Drive in Lakeville • Robert Trail Library, 14395 Robert Trail in Rosemount • Wescott Library, 1340 Wescott Road in Eagan Current Galaxie Library staff will be reassigned to the four libraries anticipated to see the largest increase in usage during the construction period.

Apple Valley’s fire insurance rating improves Apple Valley’s fire insurance rating has improved and the result could be lower insurance premiums for homeowners and businesses. The city received a Public Protection Classification rating of Class 2 from the Insurance Services Office. This rating is the best in the state and in the top 4 percent of cities nationwide. In August 2017, ISO evaluated Apple Valley’s ability to effectively suppress and prevent fires in each of the following categories; Emergency Communications (911), Water Supply, Fire Department,

and Community Risk Reduction. In each area, ISO uses a uniform set of criteria, incorporating nationally recognized standards developed by the National Fire Protection Association and the American Water Works Association. Upon completing the evaluation, a Public Protection Classification grade is assigned from 1 to 10. Class 1 represents an exemplary fire protection program and Class 10 indicates that the area’s fire protection program does not meet ISO’s minimum criteria. The classification earned plays a role in insurance companies’ mar-

keting, underwriting, and establishing fair premiums for homeowners and commercial fire insurance. The price of fire insurance in communities with a lower PPC grade is substantially lower than in communities with a higher PPC grade, assuming all other factors are equal. The improved classification is a reflection of Apple Valley’s commitment to provide quality public safety services to its citizens. Apple Valley has held a Class 3 rating since 1998. The new Class 2/2x rating will become effective April 1, 2018.

Opinion Increase legal age to buy tobacco products to 21 Concern is growing over Minnesota youth using nicotine-bearing tobacco products that damage their health and brain development. A campaign is underway by Minnesotans for a Smoke-Free Generation to encourage the Minnesota Legislature to increase the tobacco-purchasing age to 21 years. A bill introduced in the last legislative session did not get a hearing. The coalition has secured sponsors in the Senate and hopes to secure House backers in the 2018 session. To date, city councils in Edina, Bloomington, St. Louis Park and Plymouth have passed laws changing the age of purchasing tobacco products, including fruit-flavored products, to 21. While this is effective in each respective community, 18-year olds still can buy tobacco products in neighboring cities that don’t have a 21-year age limit. The goal, therefore, is to enact a state law changing the legal age to 21 for purchasing tobacco products. We salute the efforts by the four metro cities but believe now is the time to expand the effort to the state level. We encourage

ECM Editorial the Legislature to hold hearings on this important health issue and pass a law changing the age from 18 to 21 years. California, Hawaii, New Jersey, Maine and Oregon have already done so. Health data on use of tobacco products is alarming. Dr. Thomas Kottke, medical director of HealthPartners, said 6,300 Minnesotans die from tobacco-related diseases and smoking costs the state more than $3 billion annually. Of greater concern is the increasing number of teenagers smoking products they buy from 18-year-olds in high schools. David Willoughby, chief executive officer of ClearWay Minnesota, one of 50 coalition members advocating a change in the law, says that 95 percent of adult smokers begin smoking before age 21. If young people can be prevented from smoking by 21, they probably will never smoke. A recent Minnesota Youth Tobacco survey conducted by the National Institute of Health revealed that 38.7 percent of high

school and 12 percent of middle school students use tobacco products. When the Edina City Council became the first Minnesota city to change the purchasing age, it estimated that 60 high school juniors in Edina were smoking. Lately there’s more evidence that early smokers damage brain development, Kottke said. “Nicotine interferes with brain maturation and has long-term effects on development and mental health,” he said. Most of the opposition to the change is coming from retailers who say the proposed law would hurt their sales. The percentage of tobacco products sold to 18-to-20-year olds is from 2 to 4 percent, according to ClearWay Minnesota. Based on public opinion related to the legal age for smoking, retail sales should not be the dominant factor in making a change. A report released by the Centers for Disease Control in 2015 showed that 75 percent of adults favored increasing the tobacco age to 21. That included 70 percent of current smokers and 65 percent of those ages 18 to 24. Regardless of the law retailers counter

that young people will find other ways to get tobacco products. Minnesota research says, however, that if the change were made 30,000 fewer young people would smoke in the next 15 years. Others argue that if 18-year-olds are eligible for the armed services and place themselves in harm’s way they should be able to buy tobacco products. The military, however, is concerned about early smoking and its effect on the health of men and women to be battleready. A support group of more than 200 retired generals and admirals strongly backs raising the legal age to purchase tobacco products, according to retired Air Force Brig. Gen. John Sheedy. Because research on the harmful effects of using tobacco products, particularly by Minnesota youth, is so serious, we join with Minnesotans For a Smoke Free Generation in urging the Minnesota Legislature to pass a law changing the legal age for tobacco purchases to 21.

Immigration system out of sync with today’s economy by Laura Bordelon SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Federal tax reform has been center stage at Washington, D.C. The sweeping changes just passed will provide an important opportunity for Minnesota policymakers to make our tax system more competitive. Tax reform, although vitally important, is just one ingredient necessary to help Minnesota businesses change and grow in today’s marketplace. At the foundation, we need skilled workers. Key to that is a federal immigration system that is in tune with the 21st century world economy. That’s why it’s so important for Congress to replace the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. New Americans are significant and substantial contributors to the development and growth of Minnesota’s economy. They play critical roles as workers, entrepreneurs, consumers and linking Minnesota to the world economy. Immigration reform will help our new Americans contribute more than they now do and propel our state’s economy forward.

Guest Columnist

Laura Bordelon Immigrant workers are important to companies of all sizes and types across the state. The Minnesota Chamber and our partners in the Minnesota Business Immigration Coalition hear it every day. John O’Reilly, vice president, Otten Bros. Garden Center & Landscaping of Long Lake, said immigrants are a growing percentage of his workforce and have shown potential to be the next generation of foremen. Each spring, however, the company receives notice that the temporary H2B program is in jeopardy, making it extremely difficult to plan and grow the business. Pat Lunemann, partner and general manager, Twin Eagle Dairy in Clarissa, said the willing and able individuals are al-

ready workers. It’s a rare event for an urban worker to relocate to work on a farm. Immigrants have proven to be reliable, ambitious and essential, while also strengthening rural communities. Maha Tahiri, vice president, chief health and wellness officer, General Mills, said immigrants fill a range of jobs. They are scientists, leaders, interns and everything in between. They bring a diverse perspective that makes the company strong and helps its products within the United States and across the world. Statistics from the New American Economy underscore the importance of federal immigration reform to Minnesota. The national advocacy group brings together mayors and business leaders who support immigration reforms that will help create jobs for Americans today. • Immigrants have substantial impact on the Minnesota economy. Immigrants pay $3.7 billion in taxes every year. Immigrant-owned businesses employ nearly 53,000 people. Immigrants held $10 billion in spending power in 2016. • Minnesota has nearly 10,000 DACA-

eligible recipients. Almost 92 percent of this population who are at least 16 years old are employed. They earn almost $154.8 million in total income annually. They contribute more than $24.1 million in total taxes annually, $12.2 million of which goes to state and local tax revenues. Immigrants are integral to the entire fabric of Minnesota’s economy. It’s important that policymakers view immigrants as significant contributors to our state’s changing economy – providing the state not only with workers at all skill levels, but also innovation, buying power, new businesses and better access to global networks. Our current immigration system has not been overhauled since 1986. That’s the same year, coincidentally, that our federal tax system had a major revision. It’s time overdue for Congress to design an immigration system that aligns with today’s economy.

Letters Continuing to speak up To the editor: Thanks to south metro neighbors for replying to my Dec. 21 letter. We have differing views on how to achieve a shared goal — a robust economy that benefits all. My letter criticized U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis for claiming that the tax bill would create more GDP growth than any analysis provided. Now, unsurprisingly, I have some comments: Letter writer Kyle Christensen is correct that GDP growth has averaged 3.2 percent for 70 years. But he chastised me for only citing groups that fit my “ideological” lens. Somehow, he missed a key part of my letter. In addition to two government and two nonprofit studies, I included two conservative viewpoints. The center-right Tax Foundation and Secretary Steve Minuchin’s Treasury Department supported the bill, but concluded that it would not generate GDP gains of 3-plus percent, nor would pay for itself. Regardless of Christensen’s wishes or those of Lewis, my last sentence remains true, “There is no thorough analysis by any organization that supports

Lewis’s claim…” I agree with letter writers Michael and Carol Hawke that “greed and ignorance” contribute to a weak economy. However, I’d like to correct factual errors and challenge a statement. They said that their retirement, based on stock market success, is growing for the first time in 15 years. Of course, I don’t know how they are invested, but the S & P has grown each year since its negative performance in 2008. They stated that President Obama increased the debt dramatically by “giving

billions to terrorist nations like Iran.” The United States delivered no money from our coffers to Iran — only Iranian dollars frozen under economic sanctions. Last, they noted that “Republicans have stood up and reclaimed America for themselves …” and then advised me, “Live with it.” This is a startlingly antidemocratic notion. Tea Party members did not “live with it” and neither did talk show host Lewis. In 1963 I attended a rally to mourn the murder of four girls in a Birmingham church. I will continue to speak up,

election of this particular president concerned me so much that I felt a need to do something. Indivisible’s mission to resist the Trump agenda appealed to me, so I went to the Indivisible website, entered my zip code, and located a group near me. It’s a group founded by a minister and co-moderated by a grandmother. Through the group, I’ve met many people: older people, younger people, people struggling to get by, people doing just fine — lots of people, but no subversives. Just ordinary folks, many of whom (like me) had not been politically engaged before November 2016. As the writer mentioned, there are 6,000 local Indito write letters, to march, to visible groups.

Social activism is the beating heart of democracy, whether those activists come from the right, left, or center, and it’s incumbent on all of us to preserve everyone’s right to practice it. Peterson is correct on a few things. Indivisible does have an agenda, but “preventing voter suppression” and “sustainability” are not just buzz words to us. We should all be appalled when legal voters are turned away at the polls, despite our political differences. Likewise, when the U.S. Department of Defense states climate change is a major national security issue, “sustainability” is more important than ever. She is also right that Indivisible is no small effort. It is a concerted, nationwide resistance against efforts to undermine America’s free press, obfuscate the truth, and upend decades of global stability. Thanks to our activism, candidates like Roy Moore in Alabama are losing their re-election bids, and we are just getting started. Indivisible is not some sinister organization trying to subvert America’s institutions. It is an American institution. It’s comprised of your neighbors, family members, and fellow citizens. In fact, if you would like to see America retain the values of inclusion and prosperity that made her great, Indivisible’s door is open to you. So, no. Despite Ms. Peterson’s veiled accusations, that sound you hear is not an alarm. It is freedom ringing. ADAM NICOLAI Eagan

Band director receives award Lakeville resident John Bina, director of bands at St. Thomas Academy, was honored with the Bandworld Legion of Honor Award by the John Philip Sousa Foundation at its annual awards ceremony Dec. 23.

CONCERT, from 1A it up entirely,� Handler said. Every cover they play has a bit of a twist, as the acoustic arrangements offer a more simplified sound, but Handler said people will recognize most of the songs they play. Recently, they’ve been playing classics such as “Footloose� and “Summer of ’69,� as well as some new hits from the radio, including Portugal the Man’s “Feel it Still� and “HandClap� by Fitz and the Tantrums. The band has found that Ed Sheeran songs are often a crowd favorite. Hander said admissionfree concerts, such as the Frozen Apple Series, are important for communities. “I think what it does is that it opens up the door for anybody to see different kinds of music,� he said. “It’s really super cool for families to come out and not have to pay a lot of money to get that sort of social, cultural experience.� That’s exactly why, seven years ago, the Frozen Apple Concert series began. “It’s important for communities to come together, it’s really important for neighbors to know each other,� AVAF President and Chairwoman of the Board Sonya Bush said. “That’s how you make a healthy and happy community. You need to meet and talk to different people. What better

way to do that than through music?� Today, the popular free concert series connects Apple Valley residents with one another by providing a space for all people in the community to come together. “We are always looking for different avenues to expand our offerings to the community and bring people together – what better way to do that than music in the winter to give us something to look forward to after the holidays,� Busch said. When deciding on bands for the series, the board likes to choose a mix of new acts and past favorites. The Michael Handler Band is brand new to the concert series — although they’ve played several south of the river concerts before, including a few venues in Apple Valley. Busch said the board is excited to introduce this new group to the series. Patty Peterson, who will perform in the second concert in the series, is friend of the arts foundation and has been a part of the February concert for a number of years. This year, however, she’ll be doing a completely different act as she performs with the Jazz Women All-Stars. “If people have been to see her before, they know how great she is, but this is something new and differ-

ent,� Bush said. The third and final concert brings back another Apple Valley favorite: the Riverside Hitmen. “We got so much feedback from previous performances. It’s so high energy,� Busch said. “There was a lot of demand to have them back.� The concerts are funded by the Apple Valley Arts Foundation thanks to sponsorship from Uponor and Think Mutual Bank. All concerts are free and open to the public. Doors open at 5 p.m. and the concerts run from 6 to 9 p.m. Food and drinks will be available for purchase, and people can enter drawings for prizes.

Concert schedule: The concerts will be held at the Valleywood Golf Course Clubhouse, located at 4851 McAndrews Road, the second Saturday of each month. Saturday, Jan. 13: The Michael Handler Project. Saturday, Feb. 10: Patty Peterson and The Jazz Women All-Stars. Saturday, March 10: The Riverside Hitmen.

to organize his own FMSC group with other people at the Apple Valley Senior Center. Every third Thursday of the month, a group of 20 to 40 seniors travels to the FMSC packing site in Eagan, located at 990 Lone Oak Road No. 136, to help prepare meals for hungry kids. The group begins packing meals on-site at noon. To make transportation easier, some of the participants meet at the Apple Valley Senior Center at 11:30 a.m. and ride share over to Eagan. They pack for two hours and then return home. Some of the volunteers stand and pack the dried chicken, vegetables, soy and rice into bags. Others sit and label each bag. People looking to get in a workout help in the warehouse by loading boxes of food. During a 2-hour session, volunteers usually pack 216 meals each. FMSC board member Stewart McCutcheon predicts the group from Apple Valley has packed more than 600,000 meals over the past eight years. Maus said he thinks it’s even more than that. Because his group volunteers so regularly, they are able to work together as a welloiled machine to accomplish the task quickly. They are proud that they almost always pack more than the average volunteer. “We’ve got a pretty hard-core group of people,� he said. “We’re pretty efficient at packing the meals, and we feel like we are connecting with kids who are literally starving.� Although many groups sign up for a one-time FMSC packing event, Maus said it is important for his group to go every month because they want their efforts to be sustainable. “If you give food to a starving child, that’s great,� Maus said. “But you need to give it to them for months, for years.� McCutcheon said the organization appreciates the work of the seniors. “We are so appreciative of the people who come in consistently,� he said. “The faithfulness of the group over the years has been amazing.� He said the monthly commitment is an asset to the senior center’s packed calendar of events. “The Apple Valley Senior Center has an amaz-

Rotary of Apple Valley is hosting a spaghetti dinner and silent auction for PolioPlus 1-4 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 28, at the Apple Valley American Legion Post 1776, 14521 Granada Drive, Apple Valley. Tickets for the dinner are $10 and can be purchased from any Apple Valley Rotary member. On hand to greet diners will be club president Wayne Hilbert and Apple Valley Rotary members. Rotary member Karen Kirkman, branch manager of MidCountry Bank in Apple Valley, is chairperson for the dinner and has been busy collecting items for the silent auction and promoting the event. Among the many expected to attend are Apple Valley Mayor Mary Hamann-Roland; club mem-

bers Tom Goodwin and Clint Hooppaw, who are City Council members; Rotary member and Police Chief Jon Rechtzigel; Apple Valley American Legion Post 1776 Cmdr. Carla Tappainer; and District 5950 PolioPlus chair Timothy S. Mulcrone. The District 5950 club leadership is encouraging each club to raise $1,500 in 2018 to support PolioPlus. The Apple Valley American Legion is returning a portion of the proceeds from the dinner to the club in support of PolioPlus. For the year just ended, there were 14 cases of polio. These occurred in Afghanistan and Pakistan. There were 37 reported cases in 2016. Despite the progress achieved since 1988 of 350,000 cases, as long as a single child remains infect-

ed with poliovirus, children in all countries are at risk of contracting the disease. The world is on the verge of eradicating this disease. For every dollar that Rotary raises, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation will donate $2. Funding is needed to help eradicate polio. If polio is not eradicated, hundreds of thousands of children could be paralyzed. Global health care costs would rise dramatically and many children’s quality of life would be dramatically diminished. For the spaghetti dinner tickets, contact Karen Kirkman at MidCountry Bank, Apple Valley, at 952997-5606 or karen.kirkman@midcountrybank. com, or any member of Rotary of Apple Valley.

Sports Nordic skiers finally get out on the snow Local teams compete at Loppet Invitational by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Although the Mesabi East Invitational remains a premier event on the high school Nordic skiing regular-season schedule, teams from the metro area have another option that doesn’t require a long bus ride or overnight stay. Teams from Burnsville, Lakeville and all District 196 schools competed at the Loppet Invitational on Saturday at Theodore Wirth Park in Minneapolis. Highlights for local teams included a thirdplace finish by the Eagan boys in the 5-kilometer classic race, third by the ISD 196 girls (Apple Valley, Eagan, Rosemount)

in the 5K freestyle, fourth by the Eastview girls in freestyle and fourth by Burnsville’s girls in classic. A combined Lakeville North/South team won the first of two heats in the girls sprint relay and finished second in the event overall. In girls freestyle, Eastview senior Kareena Clendening was fourth in 15 minutes, 4.96 seconds. Theresa Passe of ISD 196 was sixth in 15:27.71. Top Lakeville skier was ninthgrader Haley Moerbitz, who was 29th. Burnsville senior Matthew Berg was sixth in the boys freestyle in 12:35.86. Max Marshall of Eagan was 14th in 13:11.01 and Aidan Lau of ISD 196 (Apple Valley, Eastview and Rosemount for boys) placed 16th in 13:24.06. Charlie Dilla of Eagan was 17th. Wyatt Hall led Lakeville with a 36th-

place finish. Burnsville and Eagan were sixth and eighth in the boys freestyle team standings with Lakeville 14th and ISD 196 15th. An eighth-place finish by Hanna Holmstrom led Burnsville to fourth in the girls classic team standings. Holmstrom finished in 17:17.57, about three seconds ahead of Eastview’s Gabby Kraemer, who placed ninth. Anna Schumann of Eastview and Kaitlyn Qualley of Burnsville were 12th and 13th. Olivia Matsoff finished 23rd to lead ISD 196 and Grete Engels was 27th for Lakeville. Bryant Ruff of ISD 196 was third in boys classic in 13:10.66, less than three-tenths of a second out of second place. Thomas Ryan of Burnsville was sixth in 13:50.99, and Eagan’s Brian Dilla (14:21.66) and Jack Mar-

tin (14:28.91) were eighth and ninth. Eli Pickett was 40th to lead Lakeville. Eastview placed fifth and ISD 196 eighth in girls classic team standings. Lakeville was 16th. Burnsville’s boys took fourth in classic, two points behind Eagan, while ISD 196 was seventh and Lakeville 18th. Three South Suburban Conference meets scheduled for December were canceled because of lack of snow. The conference’s teams finally got to compete on snow at a freestyle meet Jan. 2 at Hyland Recreation Area in Bloomington. St. Paul Highland Park and Northfield joined the meet and Highland Park swept the boys and girls team competition. The top two girls finishers were from Highland Park and the third-place skier was from Northfield.

Tess Grunklee of ISD 196 placed fourth in 16:31.1 in the 5K race. Eastview’s Kraemer (16:50.3) and Josie Roberts (16:51.2) were sixth and seventh, and Lakeville’s Violet Tessier was eighth in 16:54.8. Clendening of Eastview was 10th in 17:07.2. Eastview and ISD 196 were second and third in the girls team standings at the Jan. 2 meet, while Lakeville was fifth and Burnsville seventh. Burnsville was without its top skier, senior Kelly Koch, for both of last week’s races because she is competing in the U.S. Cross Country Ski Championships in Anchorage, Alaska. Koch was 12th in the junior female 5K classic race Sunday. Ruff of ISD 196 was first in boys freestyle at the Jan. 2 South Suburban meet, finishing in 13:35.0. Burnsville’s Ryan was

third in 14:12.7. Martin of Eagan was seventh in 14:43.6 and his teammate, Dilla, finished ninth in 14:45.5. Burnsville’s Berg completed the top 10, taking 10th place in 14:47.3. Top Lakeville skier was Henry Nomeland, who was 37th. Burnsville was second to Highland Park in the boys team standings. ISD 196 and Eagan were fourth and fifth, and Lakeville placed seventh. Two South Suburban Conference meets are scheduled this week. A classic meet was to be Tuesday at Hyland Recreation Area. Classic and freestyle races will be held Saturday at Valleywood Golf Course in Apple Valley. Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

Panthers end recent futility against Apple Valley Second-half comeback produces 73-67 victory by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Even when Lakeville North has been good – and the Panthers have been good in boys basketball for a long time – Apple Valley was the Rubik’s Cube that couldn’t be solved. North had gone 11 games and almost six years without beating its South Suburban Conference rival. And for a long while Tuesday night, it looked as if that wouldn’t change. But then the Panthers, trailing by 13 points with less than 10 minutes remaining, caught fire and overtook the Eagles 7367 at Apple Valley High School. Lakeville North scored almost as many points in the final 9 1/2 minutes (34) as it did in the first 26 1/2 minutes (39). If the Panthers unlocked a secret, coach John Oxton wasn’t about to go public with it, as North will play Apple Valley at least once more this season (Feb. 13). But it might have come down to the players having had enough. A number of Lakeville North’s current players are in their first season as regular varsity contributors, so they can’t be held responsible for the recent futility against Apple Val-

ley. But still, “the whole week of practice we talked about how we’re sick of losing to Apple Valley,” said junior Tyler Wahl, who had 20 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists. “We got the job done tonight.” Owen Blascziek’s threepointer with about four minutes remaining gave North its first lead at 5756, and a basket by Wahl with 3:33 remaining put the Panthers ahead to stay. The Panthers, 9-2 overall and 3-0 in the South Suburban, shot 55 percent overall despite making only two of 10 three-point attempts. They were almost automatic from the free-throw line, missing just one of 16 tries. Oxton admitted some of the shots the Panthers took weren’t exactly what he had in mind. “There were a couple of times where it was like, ‘Ahh, don’t take that shot,’ and then they took it and made it,” Oxton said. “They played to win and not to lose. “I know Owen Blascziek hitting a three from the top of the key was huge. He’s a great shooter, so didn’t surprise me it went in, but it was really a big shot. We hit a lot of those.” The victory was Lakeville North’s first over Ap-

Making his move

ple Valley since Feb. 24, 2012. That season was the sophomore year of Apple Valley career scoring leader Tyus Jones, now in his third season with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Tre Jones, Tyus’ brother and now the Eagles’ top player, was in sixth grade. “It stings because it’s something new to us,” Apple Valley coach Zach Goring said. “We’ve had our way with them for a while, but at some point that’s going to change. We’ve been lucky to beat them on a few occasions, too.” Apple Valley lost a conference game for only the second time since the 2011-12 season. The Eagles, five-time defending South Suburban champions, are 2-1 in the league and 7-4 overall. “We really struggled with matchups inside against the two big kids,” Goring said, referring to Lakeville North’s Wahl and Tyler Lewko (Lewko scored 17 points). “We kind of fell apart in a few attention-to-detail things. We got a little loose when we were up 13 when we should have been a little tighter.” Tre Jones had 22 points, seven rebounds and five assists despite missing the last eight minutes of the first half when he had to

be examined after striking his head on the floor. The Eagles used the long-range shooting of Ely Hendrickson, who made seven of 10 three-pointers and scored 21 points, to remain in front. “Apple Valley wants to push the ball on makes and misses, so our emphasis was to get back on defense and slow them down,” Wahl said. “We played really well against (Tre Jones), made him make his tough shots. Even though he found some people, I think we did a good job of containing him.” North guard Tommy Jensen added 11 points and was 7-for-7 from the free-throw line. The Eagles, who were ranked fifth in Class 4A last week by Minnesota Basketball News, have been without their secondbest player, senior guard Luke Martens, for more than a month. Goring said Martens has fractured each wrist twice, just since August 2017, and has had two operations on one of the wrists. The coach said Martens might be able to return to practice next week. “We think we’ll have him for the last 12 or 13 regular-season games,” Goring said. “Getting a player of his caliber back for the stretch run is like

The only unde-

feated team in Class 4A is Tartan, which is 11-0 but has played only four Class 4A schools. “There are really a lot of good teams,” Oxton said. “I think we proved we’re one of them.” Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

Eagle girls creeping back toward .500 New hoops coach emphasizing high-pressure defense by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

How you view the Apple Valley girls basketball team’s 74-67 loss to Lakeville North on Tuesday depends on whether you’re looking at the small picture or the big picture. Small picture: The loss dropped the Eagles back below .500 at 6-7. Big picture: Although they lost, the Eagles continued a stretch of improved play that has lasted almost a month. After starting 1-5, Apple Valley has won five of its last seven games, with the losses coming against

Lakeville North and Centennial, both of which are ranked in the top 10 in Class 4A. The Eagles certainly didn’t want to have a slow start, but first-year head coach Bryan Doughty said it didn’t cause panic, either. “Everything was different for them,” Doughty said. “We had only one girl returning (Brynne Rolland) who scored many points for the varsity last year. A lot of girls needed time to figure out their roles. And the first thing was understanding what my philosophy is and how I wanted us to

play.” Doughty, formerly an assistant coach in the White Bear Lake girls and Stillwater boys programs, wants to feature a highpressure defense. “We’re going to try to pick up people full-court,” he said. Rolland, a senior forward, averaged more than 17 points for an Apple Valley team that won 21 games last season. She had 22 in Tuesday’s game against Lakeville North and is averaging 20.2. Chyna Young, a ninthgrade guard, is the Eagles’ second-leading scorer with a 9.9 average and

scored 20 in the Lakeville North game. Sophomore guard Anna Mutch scored 10 in Tuesday’s game. Junior Mykel Parham saw regular varsity minutes last season and is averaging about six points a game this year. Senior guard Molly Moynihan and sophomore guard Kalena Myers are two more players in the Eagles’ rotation. Junior guard Megan Baer scored 11 points or more in three of the Eagles’ first four games but was injured during a holiday tournament in Roseville. The Eagles are hoping to have her back soon.

Eastview sophomore forward Dan Swedin goes to the basket during a South Suburban Conference boys basketball game against Rosemount last week. Eastview drubbed the Irish 75-42 but has since lost to Prior Lake and Lakeville South and now is 5-6 overall and 1-2 in the conference. Tate Machacek scored 14 points and Steven Crowl had 10 in a 63-54 loss to Lakeville South on Tuesday. The Lightning goes to Farmington for a conference game at 7 p.m. Friday.

Both defending state champions and the top three teams in the state Class AA rankings are scheduled to compete at the Lakeville North Invitational gymnastics meet Saturday. The defending state

champions are Lakeville North (Class AA) and Detroit Lakes (Class A). The top three teams in Class AA are Stillwater, Lakeville North and Lakeville South. The Lakeville teams and Detroit Lakes already have seen a lot of each other this season. All three were in the Brainerd Invitational in December, where Lakeville North won by a fraction of a point over Lakeville South. They also were at the

MGGOA Invitational last Saturday at Park Center High School, where Detroit Lakes won the team championship with Lakeville North and Lakeville South taking second and third. The second place at the MGGOA meet ended Lakeville North’s bid for an undefeated season – something the Panthers had set as a preseason goal – but North will try to defend home turf, so to speak, at Saturday’s home invitational starting at 9

a.m. South Suburban Conference teams Prior Lake and Eastview/Apple Valley also are entered, as are Austin, Becker, Cambridge-Isanti, Detroit Lakes, East Ridge, Eden Prairie, Maple Grove, Melrose, Park of Cottage Grove, Roseville, Stillwater and Wayzata. Six of the top nine teams in the Class AA rankings will be at the Lakeville meet.

HOMES, from 1A the model homes for the first day of open houses. Thompson told Hoy and the others to do whatever it took to get people signed up. “We were told to write purchase agreements,” Hoy said. “We had to get it down in writing.” The customers parked their cars in a farm field, toured the three model homes and exited through the sales office where they met with Hoy and the other salesmen. “We would give them a brochure and they would look at us and say: ‘Are you crazy? No one is going to build out here. There are no grocery stores, no hospitals, no schools, no place to buy a tank of gas,’ ” Hoy said. The absence of facilities was undeniable — homeowners would have

to travel to Rosemount to pick up their own mail for the first few years, and they’d have to depend on the Farmington and Rosemount fire departments until they could form their own. Hoy said he told the potential buyers to look at other Thompson developments, such as Brooklyn Park, Brooklyn Center and Cottage Grove. He encouraged them to drive out and see the development that was already occurring there, and he told them that in time similar development would occur in Apple Valley. Potential buyers were not the only people unenthused about the development. “The people would leave and all of the sudden they would come back madder than blazes,” Hoy said. “They said, ‘somebody sprayed my car with

manure!’ ” Hoy discovered that Bill Carroll, the farmer who owned the land adjacent to the model homes on Hayes Road, wasn’t happy about the new development and he was especially unhappy that people were parking in his field. “He owned a dairy farm and he loaded up the manure sprayer, and he let those cars have it,” Hoy said. “All over their windshields, in their cars — and oh, were they mad.” Nevertheless, people began to purchase the houses, and they waited for months to move in while the construction crews waited for the ground to thaw and then hustled to meet the demand. “People would ask where their home would be, and we would point to a plot map and say: ‘this is where your home will be.’ It was in the middle

of a corn field,” Hoy said. “That was the way it was.” Still, for many the question remained: why would people move to a place with no gas stations, grocery stores, hospitals or schools? There were dirt roads, no sidewalks, very little street lighting, and many houses had a private septic system with a cesspool. The answer: affordability and the promise that one day the area would have all of these amenities and more. People could buy a three-bedroom, 864-square-foot rambler for $12,900, a three-bedroom split-level with a single attached garage for $14,500 or a five-bedroom 1,020-square-foot house for $17,150. Thompson also built a community center off County Road 42, which included tennis courts

and a swimming pool. Hoy said they were told to mention that everyone who purchased a house from Thompson would have free access. In the backyard of each house, Thompson planted an apple tree. He also delivered 250 rolls of sod for free. He was also committed to helping veterans find a way to afford housing. For those who had served, Thompson paid the closing cost on the house — which ranged from $300 to $500 — and paid their first year of homeowner’s insurance. His initiatives were effective, and people continued to sign purchase agreements with Hoy and the other salesmen. Dennis Grabinger purchased his house on Oakwood Road from Hoy in February 1963, and moved in with his wife, Barbara, in September. “We couldn’t find the exact house we wanted, so we went up north and looked at other houses Thompson was building,” Grabinger said. Grabinger, a veteran, said it was a challenge to be approved for the house because he had to prove his monthly income was three times that of his monthly payment, and he was not allowed to count Barbra’s earnings in his household income. By forgoing oak trimming (which saved $200), choosing a house without a garage (which saved $1,200) and taking out the appliances from his home (which saved $500) he was able to secure his three-bedroom house for $13,400. He also had to change lots because Thompson had a rule that no two houses of the same style could be built next to each other. Still, the prospect of living in a new development excited Grabinger. Dennis and Barbara, who passed away two years ago, raised two children, Michael and Jean. “We could see it had potential, and we liked the idea of being pioneers,” he said. “Also, there were about 100 families who worked with Control Data — that’s what I was doing — who moved out here at the same time. We thought that was exciting.” Grabinger remembers that Cedar Avenue was a two-lane road, and he remembers driving across a little swing-out bridge to get across it. Interstate 35W was Highway 65, and there was a four-way stop where County Road 42 met Cedar Avenue. Members of the newly formed residential community worked together to bring resources to their new home. Anita Westin and her husband, Robert, moved into their Orrin Thompson home on Strese Lane in September 1963 after purchasing it from Hoy that first winter. They’d been living in Beloit, Wis. and were looking for a place to raise their family. Westin said she remembers the dirt roads, mice and salamanders. “There was nothing out here — nothing but fields. It was a shock, but you got used to it,” she said. “We needed a house and this is where we built it, and we got to like it.” Robert, who passed away in 2009, was a Korean War veteran. Thanks to Thompson’s promotions, their mortgage payments were $99 a month. She remembers some inconveniences — her children Craig, Bruce and Brenda had to attend school in Rosemount, as it was the closest school at the time. But, in the absence of community services and gatherings, the Westins worked to make their town the place they wanted to live. Robert helped start the Apple Valley volunteer fire department in 1966. He also helped organize the Fourth of July parade, and for many years he lit the fireworks. Anita was a charter member of the auxiliary, and she helped plan block parties as well

as an annual carnival. “We started a lot out here, my husband and I and some of the neighbors,” she said. “We did a lot of things to help build up Apple Valley.” Families enjoyed the opportunity to start over — to create a new community and take ownership of it. Muriel Gilbertson and her husband Arnold purchased their Orrin Thompson from Hoy as well. They moved from Richfield to Garden View Drive in the beginning of October 1963. They raised two young sons, Steven and Chad, who attended Westview Elementary, Valley Middle and Apple Valley High School. Muriel worked at St. Francis Hospital in Shakopee and Arnold worked for Northwest Airlines in Bloomington and also became a volunteer firefighter. They worked alternating shifts so they never needed child care. “We didn’t know anybody, and you got to know everybody that way,” Muriel Gilbertson said. “Our kids were all little. We got to go outside and have coffee with our neighbors and the kids would play together.” Hoy, also a veteran, purchased an Orrin Thompson home as well. He moved to “Apple Valley” with his wife Nancy on Nov. 22, 1963. He said will always remember the date because he went into the office to pick up his keys and Gordy Peterson, one of the salesmen, told him President John. F. Kennedy had been shot. Although it was a somber day, Hoy remembers the challenges and thrills of creating a life in a developing area. For the first two years, he traveled to Rosemount for gas and groceries until stores began popping up in Apple Valley. Gene and Nancy raised two sons, Patrick and Jerry, and four daughters, Coleen, Debbie, Anne Marie and Renee, and he remembers having to be careful of the sensitive septic system with so many people in the house. He remembers calling the Farmington fire department to rush one of his neighbors to the nearest hospital when she went into labor during a snowstorm, his kids riding horses through town and throwing a block party when the septic system was replaced four and a half years after he moved in. “Orrin Thompson gave a lot of people a home that they couldn’t afford in other places. His pricing was competitive, and you got a lot more for your money,” Hoy said. “For myself, it has been a great place to bring up children, and the school system — grade school through high school — has been an asset.” Between 1963 and 1968, Thompson built 11 home subdivisions in Apple Valley, totaling 1,556 homes. Grabinger, Westin and Gilbertson still live in their Orrin Thompson homes, and although Hoy has moved he continues to live in Apple Valley. Over the past 55 years, they’ve has seen a lot of change in the rural community he once knew, but they’ve kept up with the changing times. Westin, for example, worked for more than 20 years at the deli in Rainbow Foods before it closed — a job she loved. Her apple tree has long since died, but the family she started in Apple Valley continues to grow; she has 15 grandchildren, 24 great grandchildren, and one great-great grandchild. Thinking about over half a century of life in this community, Hoy said he is filled with gratitude. “I believe that I am the only person still living in this area that was here on the first day of Jan. 13, 1963,” Hoy said. “You might say I am the last man standing. I’ve seen it all. And I just want to say, thank you Orrin Thompson, for everything.”

Connie (Constance Mary) Bezdichek, 94, of Farmington, MN went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, January 6, 2018. She passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family. Connie (Segner) was born on February 13, 1923 in St. Bonifacius, MN. She was united in marriage to Gordon Bezdichek on January 22, 1947. Connie and Gordon moved to Farmington, MN in 1951 and owned and operated Fairway Foods from 1951 to 1969 while raising their six daughters. She was preceded in death by her husband, Gordon, on January 25, 1982 and by her two brothers, Leroy and Fred. Connie continued to reside in Farmington and was an active member of St. Michael’s Catholic Community. Connie was intelligent, inquisitive, witty, and loved to learn. She took a computer class when she was 85 years old! Connie prided herself on being informed of current events and enjoyed discussing politics with family and friends. She was a woman who carried herself with dignity, integrity and grace. Connie had a wonderful sense of humor and loved and lived life to the fullest. She enjoyed dancing, gardening, playing cards, polka music, bike riding, sewing, knitting, Dakota County Fair, and the Minnesota Twins and Vikings. She was a great cook and loved experimenting with new recipes.

A female endangered Malayan Tapir calf was born approximately 5:45 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 6, at the Minnesota Zoo in Apple Valley. Both the calf and mom “Bertie� are doing well. This is the Minnesota Zoo’s third tapir birth in 6 years. Born at 16 pounds, the yet-to-be-named calf is busy bonding with mom behind the scenes. Until she goes into the public tapir habitat along the Tropics Trail, she can be seen via the Minnesota Zoo’s social media channels and a special webcam (http://mnzoo.org/tapircalf2018/). Malayan tapirs are one of the most endangered animals in Southeast Asia; there are less tapirs than tigers in the wild.

Eagan police searching for package thief Video shared hundreds of times by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

One of the quickest ways to become the villain in the public eye is to swipe packages off people’s doorsteps. When the Eagan Police Department posted a video of an alleged package theft last week asking for help identifying the suspect, comments ranged from “lock them up� to “what an idiot.� It was shared hundreds of times with hopes of catching the thief. The person is suspected of stealing packages in the area of Diffley Road and Highway 13. As of Monday, charges were not filed in the case. “We’re still looking to the public for help identifying the suspect,� said Aaron Machtemes, Eagan

Photo submitted

A screenshot of a video shared by the Eagan Police Department shows a package thief suspect. Police Department public information officer. Package theft has increased in recent years during the holiday season as more people shop online. Whether the package contains a special Christmas gift for a loved one or

diapers purchased on sale, homeowners are anxiously anticipating their packages especially during the holiday season. Typically, there are about eight to 10 reported package thefts in Eagan per year, and the department has been able to

charge one or two suspects yearly. But, that doesn’t mean there are several others going free. Many reports are in reference to what police believe is the same thief. “Typically it’s one person committing several package thefts in a neighborhood,� Machtemes said. Once caught, the suspects are often charged with theft. Depending on the amount stolen, it could be a felony. “For four iPhones, that’s a felony,� Machtemes said. “But if it’s a package of diapers, it’s a misdemeanor.� The Eagan Police Department has a video of the suspect, which certainly helps the case, but they encourage people to report thefts without video or photographic evidence. “If we can make a list of things stolen and the locations, it helps us develop a suspect,� Machtemes

said. “If another neighbor had a video, we can aggregate the cases.� If police have a search warrant for specific items, it helps. While the holiday season is over, packages are often delivered year round. “It’s good to take prevention measures,� Machtemes said. A required signature, delivery alert or special placement instructions can help. “It’s mostly a crime of opportunity,� Machtemes said. “Keep it out of plain view.� There’s also options to purchase insurance and ask for packages to be delivered at work, via the delivery service. For those with information related to the package thief, call 651-675-5700 or the 24-hour confidential tip line 651-675-5799.
