Area Briefs Police Explorer spaghetti dinner fundraiser

Lakeville seventh-grader Sophia Shabaz was one of the leaders at the lesson and dance station at Children’s Cup Christmas parties in Swaziland, Africa. Sophia is hosting her sixth annual Hot Cocoa Stand for Children’s Cup from 4-7 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 17, at Buck Hill Ski Area in Burnsville. (Photo submitted)

Cocoa for a cause at Buck Hill Sophia Shabaz, a seventh-grader at Kenwood Trail Middle School in Lakeville, will host her sixth annual Hot Cocoa Stand 4-7 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 17, on the snow tubing hill at Buck Hill Ski Area in Burnsville. At each event, Sophia makes and gives away free homemade hot cocoa using milk and a special cocoa mix she makes. Sophia accepts donations and 100 percent of what she raises goes to an organization called Children’s Cup based out of Louisiana. Children’s Cup uses the donations to provide support to orphaned youths at various care points in Swaziland, Africa. The donations are for feeding the orphans Feed My Starving Children manna packets. Donations also provide educational assistance and medical care.

Sophia went to Swaziland for the second time in December 2015 and was able to share the experience with her younger brother Austin who’s a fifth-grader at Orchard Lake Elementary. This year she helped a team of 31 people from River Valley Church in Apple Valley host Christmas parties at all of the care points. Sophia’s efforts have raised more than $9,500 to date for Children’s Cup. In 2014, Buck Hill Ski Area in Burnsville partnered with Sophia and opened space on the snow tubing hill for her event. Buck Hill will again donate to Children’s Cup $2 from every ticket sold during the Jan. 17 event. Sophia posts event information, photos and other information on her Facebook page, The Cocoa Girl.

The Apple Valley Police Explorers will host a spaghetti dinner at the Apple Valley American Legion 4-7 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 31. Tickets are $7; those 5 and under are free. Over the past 26 years, the Apple Valley Police Department has been preparing young men and women for careers in law enforcement. Since 1989 the Apple Valley Police Department has sponsored a Law Enforcement Explorer Program. Participants in this program meet weekly with members of the Apple Valley Police Department, discussing a variety of topics and acquiring the skills necessary to be successful in law enforcement. Some of these topics include: traffic stops, bomb threat response, crime scene investigation, and hostage negotiation. The explorers also serve the citizens of Apple Valley and Dakota County by assisting with a variety of community events such as the Fourth of July parade and fireworks, the Dakota County Fair and other public engagements. Throughout 2015 the explorers of Apple Valley completed a total of 220 hours of community service.

On a yearly basis, the participants have an opportunity to test their knowledge in these areas in a state competition against explorer posts from across Minnesota. Every two years the participants have an opportunity to test their knowledge on a national level against explorer posts from across America. To participate in these events, the explorers need to raise money for conference admissions and travel expenses. Funds raised at the spaghetti dinner will help offset these expenses. Tickets for the dinner can be purchased in advance by contacting Officers Wolf or Engel at 952-953-2700. Walk-ins are welcome. The Apple Valley American Legion is at 14521 Granada Drive.

As a member of Apple Valley Rotary when Bill became aware of the Polio Plus program within Rotary International, he felt drawn to do what he could to help. For his dedication to

this program, Sharon LaComb, Apple Valley Rotary Foundation committee member, said the foundation has chosen to honor Bill by donating $2,000 to Polio Plus in his honor. At a recent weekly breakfast meeting, Tschohl was praised by Rotary District 5950 Governor Tim Murphy. Murphy related that not only did Bill participate in the district and Courage Kenny Foundation sponsored “Living After Polio� 2015 conference, he also volunteered that day to make the event a success. Tschohl went even further upon learning that the city of Minneapolis had proclaimed Oct. 24, 2015, World Polio Day in that city. Tschohl requested that the same be done by the Apple Valley City Council. That proclamation was read at the Thursday, Oct. 8, 2015, City Council meeting by Mayor Mary Hamann-Roland. Murphy said that as a direct result of Tschohl’s efforts, five additional

Rotary clubs in the 5950 District had Oct. 24, 2015, proclaimed World Polio Day in their respective cities. World Polio Day celebrated the 30th anniversary of Rotary International’s Polio Plus project

to eradicate polio worldwide. The day also coincided with the culmination of Apple Valley Rotary’s annual fundraising efforts. On Oct. 24, the drawing for a 2015 Ford Focus was held at the Ford dealership

in Apple Valley. Tschohl’s efforts have extended to arrange for the dealership to donate $50 per car sold on that day to Polio Plus. The funds raised by that effort were matched 2 for 1 by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. -A�e eón���Ónžn£�

Locally grown, globally connected Celadon moves to Burnsville, poised for growth by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Burnsville’s newest high-tech firm is a locally grown success story with a global reach. Celadon Systems builds probe cards — part of the electronic apparatus used to test semiconductor wafers before they are diced and packaged. Probe cards are the interface between the testing system and the chip-covered wafer. The 20-person firm has customers in high places, from Intel to Qualcomm, Texas Instruments to Samsung. “I can guarantee you that probably the cellphone you’ve got in your pocket has devices that have been tested using our

equipment,� said Celadon founder, owner and CEO Bryan Root, of Apple Valley. “We might be small, but we have a big reach. Our market is worldwide — virtually anybody that designs or fabricates semiconductor devices is our customer.� Celadon moved in late November from Apple Valley to the McAndrews Crossing development on the southwest corner of McAndrews Road and County Road 11. Root and his wife, Valerie, bought the bank-owned building at 13795 Frontier Court, most of which had been vacant since 2008, he said. The company gained more than 2,000 square feet after moving from rented space on Energy Way and is poised for growth, Root said — thanks in part to the booming U.S. automotive business.

Winter concerts return to Valleywood The Apple Valley Arts Foundation is providing some respite from the winter blahs with its annual Frozen Apple concert series. Now in its fifth year, the series offers three nights of music between January and March in the clubhouse at Valleywood Golf Course. The concerts will feature some familiar faces this year — the three acts on the roster are all past performers at the Frozen Apple and the nonprofit arts foundation’s summer concert series, Music in Kelley Park. The concerts kick off Saturday, Jan. 16, with Latin and rhythm & blues music from the David Gonzalez Band, followed Feb. 6 by acoustic artist Michael Monroe, who plays a mix of folk, jazz and reggae. Jazz singer Patty Peterson and her circle of musicians, who perform collectively as Patty Peterson & Friends, are set to play the Frozen Apple on March 12. Admission is free to all the concerts, which run from 6-9 p.m. in the Valleywood clubhouse at 4851 McAndrews Road. Doors open at 5 p.m., and owing to high attendance at past Frozen Apple events, organizers are encouraging guests to come at the opening because space is

Opinion Startling and very valuable new book for families, educators by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

One of the best books I’ve read in the past five years begins with a startling statement and a car breakdown. “Road Map to Power” is a wonderful, brief book of less than 200 pages. Many families and educators will find it to be very valuable. The car breakdown occurs on a 100-degree, extremely humid Missouri day. Dr. Syed Arshad Husain, an American child psychiatrist who has worked with children living in war zones and disaster areas, discovered that his luxury car would not start. One of his co-workers gave the doctor a ride home in his modest two-door Toyota Tercel, “splattered with rust holes.” As Husain rode home, he thought about what really matters in life. It’s not necessarily a luxury car or expensive clothes. There’s nothing wrong with wealth. But Husain has found after many years of work, and considerable research, that wealth definitely does not guarantee happiness. This leads to his startling statement: “There is a high probability that you are average.” That’s not what most of us want to hear. But Husain and his son, educator and co-author A. Darius Husain, say, realistically, virtually all of us are average in most things.

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Joe Nathan

Advertisers know that can be hard for us to accept. The Husains point out that billions of dollars are being spent “to exploit feelings of insecurity.” Advertising tries to convince us if we buy this product or that service, we’ll be happier. Not necessarily. Among the things that matter most are that youngsters find what they are really good at, what they love, and then utilize their skills, talents, energy and insights. The authors believe that among the most important roles for families and educators is to help young people discover what “I am and I can.” Youngsters who have learned these things are far more likely to be happy and to deal effectively with life’s challenges and problems. This book does not suggest that we help youngsters be satisfied with mediocrity. Far from it. But it is a powerful plea, with many examples and considerable research that we help young people identify and become comfortable with their particu-

lar gifts and talents. Then adults ought to model and encourage youngsters to make helping others part of their lives. They remind readers, “Everyone has gifts to share with one another.” They urge families and educators to encourage “compassion, integrity, responsibility and service.” Darius Husain directs Face to Face Academy, a St. Paul charter high school that has received national and state awards for its success with “at-risk” youngsters. One chapter describes how the school uses principles discussed in the book. A video helps Co-authors A. Darius Husain, left, and his father, Dr. show how this is done: Syed Arshad Husain wrote the book “Road Map to http://amzn.to/1RasK5B. Power.” (Photo courtesy of Darius Husain) As the authors note, This practical, positive, excellent book “While your chances of raising a Nobel Prize recipient are slim, is available online for $12.95 from Amazon: http://amzn.to/1PK984W. raising a resilient child is a strong bet.” This is good for youngsters and adults. Dr. Husain concludes: “To know that my Joe Nathan, formerly a Minnesota public children will continue the legacy of com- school teacher, administrator and PTA passion set forth by my mother and father president, is a former director and now is a gift to me that can never be repaid. ... senior fellow at the Center for School The best piece of us can now reside in the Change.

Resolve to stop ‘wish cycling’ in the new year by Alisa Reckinger SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Happy New Year! Do you have any resolutions this year? Will you get that gym membership? Will you commit to reading more books or learn a new language? Consider adding a few green resolutions to your list. Add a room in your home to your recycling routine by collecting recyclables in the bathroom, laundry room, home office, bedroom, or other areas where you generate paper, bottles and other recycling. Learn more about recycling to make sure that recyclables stay out of the garbage. Most importantly, turn your “wish cycling” into recycling. Just what is wish cycling? Have you ever tossed an item into a recycling bin that you were not 100 percent sure was recyclable, just wishing it would be alright? Many items are recyclable, but some items that are tempting to throw in your recycling cart are actually problem-

Guest Columnist

Alisa Reckinger atic at recycling facilities. These can damage equipment or contaminate other materials, lowering the value of recyclables. Quit wish cycling this year by refreshing your knowledge of what’s accepted in your recycling program at home. Most haulers accept: - Cartons - Glass bottles and jars - Paper, boxes and cardboard - Plastic bottles, jugs, cups, and containers - Metal cans Check with your city or hauler for a list of materials specific to your recycling program. Also remember that many items can be recycled, just not in your

recycling cart at home. Find options at RethinkRecycling.com. Plastic shopping bags are one of the hardest materials for recycling facilities to handle as they tangle in machinery, clogging machines and stopping the recycling process for hours at a time. Fortunately, plastic bags can easily be recycled at drop-off locations. Plastic bags are accepted at various retailers including Byerly’s, Cub Foods and Target as long as they are clean and dry. Find additional retailers through the Recycling Association of Minnesota’s It’s in the Bag program. Don’t put plastic bags in residential recycling bins or carts. You can reuse plastic bags as garbage bags or to pick up pet waste. To limit the amount of plastic bags you end up with, use reusable shopping bags and avoid products with excessive plastic wrapping. Most likely, there are items in your home that contain batteries. Many household batteries, including small button batteries found in greeting cards and watches, as well as rechargeable batteries contain

hazardous materials that can harm the environment if not properly recycled. Their small size makes them hard for machinery to sort at recycling facilities, so they can’t be placed in residential bins. Find drop-off options for rechargeable batteries through Call2Recycle, and check with your county for additional drop-off recycling options. Styrofoam, also known as polystyrene, is a petroleum-based plastic that is used in a variety of products like packing supplies, cups and other containers. The only drop-off site for foam blocks is at the Coon Rapids Recycling Center. Limit the amount of Styrofoam you acquire by bringing your own lunch or cup instead of getting to-go boxes or Styrofoam cups. Try out some interesting re-use options including making it into decorations or seedling starters. Alisa Reckinger is director environmental education and outreach at Hennepin County.

Letters Climate confusion To the editor: I’m sorry, but the recent letter urging action on climate change (“The time to act is now,” Jan. 8) only creates confusion. That starts when the writers ask to “put aside partisan differences” yet criticize only Congressional Republicans. One might think that a “97 percent consensus” issue might persuade Democrats as well, and in fact that has already happened, when the U.S. Senate rejected the Kyoto Treaty 97-0. What would have helped is citing one or more “economically viable, small-government, market-based, currenttechnology solutions” rather than unsupported claims of such. Brilliant Google engineers researched for years only to conclude there was no such technology and it could not be profitably

deployed. Other researchers place the cost of these “solutions” between $44 trillion and $70 trillion! It is hard to imagine the “costs of inaction” being higher, even were “action” possible. Speaking of inaction, one may observe that the action demanded of Congress is a simple resolution, committing Congress to nothing except high-sounding phrases. As good as any campaign promise, presumably, but hardly an effective solution. What is most confusing is the sense of urgency and dread. While many scientists agree that a warming of up to 2.5 degrees might be beneficial, the recent Paris conference suggested limiting global warming to below 2 degrees (over 100 years). The current U.N. computerized climate models already average out to about that target, while the actual observed warming, extended out

100 years, is closer to 1 degree, about what is natural and normal. It seems all is well, and when the U.N. climate models consider these “solutions,” they predict warming reduced by only about 0.02 degree! Are these non-solutions to a non-problem? JERRY EWING Apple Valley

Support for religious tolerance To the editor: We, 88 returned Peace Corps volunteers from Minnesota, have written this letter to counter the recent increase in antiMuslim, anti-Islam, and anti-immigrant rhetoric that is sweeping across America and our state. We served for two years as Peace Corps Volunteers in various countries around the world. Although we all had very different experiences in dif-

ferent cultures, one thing that binds us together is an understanding that the more you know about someone, the more you appreciate what we have in common rather than dwell on or be fearful of our differences. We feel that the hateful speech that permeates our society should be condemned not just by returned Peace Corps volunteers like ourselves, but by every American who wants to stand up against bigotry and ignorance.

est nation in the world? It is an agonizing contretemps to hear fellow citizens of Dakota County constantly object to the importation of cheap steel into the United States.

As for me, I remain grateful that U.S. Rep. John Kline, R-Burnsville, has not bought into this play for favoritism from those begging for laws that cripple the purchasing power of consumers. I trust that our next U.S. representative, Jason Lewis, will also let manufacturers from all nations compete fairly so that U.S. consumers continue to benefit. RICHARD IFFERT Eagan

Correction An article in last week’s edition, “Busy year ahead at the zoo,” incorrectly stated there would be no fees for the Treetop Adventure Park challenge course and the dinosaur exhibit. There will be fees for both activities apart from regular zoo admission.

There wasn’t enough snow last winter for crosscountry skiing, and while the sledding hill was open, the lack of snow made it subpar at best. “We had very minimal snow conditions last year,� said Katie Pata with Dakota County Parks. “We couldn’t even get the groomers out. This is the debut winter season at the park.� Pata said people did use the sledding hills last year. “Not having a nice thick snow base under the sled made for a rough ride,� Pata said. “I’m sure

people are enjoying it much more now.� Snowshoeing also was available, but last year snowshoes weren’t necessary — people could just hike because the snow wasn’t deep. But, for the first time ever, groomers were out setting tracks for about 6 miles of cross country skiing tracks in late December. The trails at Whitetail Woods are intended for classic skiing, where skiers stride straight forward in tracks, and there are signs stating “no skating� throughout the park. There’s still winter hiking and snowshoeing on designated trails. Hikers and those snowshoeing are highly encouraged to stay out of the groomed tracks. Whitetail Woods doesn’t offer equipment rental, but Pata feels the trails at Whitetail Woods are better suited for those with a bit more experience and those who have their own equipment already. “There are hills,� Pata said. “They’re not ad-

vanced hills but they require a couple maneuvers. It’s attractive to the more intermediate skiers. There will be less traffic and less people crashing.� The skiing at Whitetail Woods differs from Lebanon Hills in Eagan, the other main Dakota County park for cross-country skiing, which offers rental along with an easier beginners loop. “(Whitetail Woods is) a completely different landscape,� Pata said. “There’s much more rolling hills. There are still some intimate moments, but it’s much more open. And the vistas. It’s the feeling of being on top of the world.� Snow may drift over the groomed trail in some spots at Whitetail due to wind along the prairie trails, but there are several secluded spots nestled among pine forests. Another difference is Lebanon Hills hasn’t been able to set classic tracks yet. The Whitetail Woods trail also connects to the Lone Rock trail, which is

part of UMore Park. “You could make it a pretty big day of skiing,� Pata said. “There are 12 miles at Lone Rock and 6 at White Tail.� Because the park recently opened, the Dakota County park system is still working on landscaping the area, which means parts of the trail could be closed intermittently. “It used to be a farmed area, so we’re removing that big woody invasive overgrowth and returning it to its natural state,� Pata said. Skiers are required to purchase a Dakota County ski pass for $5 a day, or $20 for the season. Skiers can purchase passes on site in a drop box, online at https://www.co.dakota. mn.us/parks, or at Lebanon Hills Park. Minnesota Ski Pass is a separate program and is neither accepted nor required to use Dakota County Parks ski trails. Whitetail Woods is open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. There’s no park entrance fee. For updated trail re-

Buckthorn burns along the Vermillion River Invasive plants set on fire by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A plume of smoke off Highway 52 and 200th Street in Empire Township on Monday was the controlled burning of a giant buckthorn pile by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and volunteers from Twin Cities Trout Unlimited. With enough snow to do it safely, the officials burned about a dozen 15foot high brush piles all morning. The brush came from the efforts of a group of volunteers who spent last fall cutting down buckthorn along the south branch of the Vermillion

River. Buckthorn is an invasive tree species. It’s particularly unwelcome along water because buckthorn chokes the riverbanks, crowds out native plants and makes it challenging for people to access the river to fish. It contributes to erosion by shading out other plants along the river. The Vermillion River is one of the most popular trout streams in the metro area. It flows through Lakeville and Farmington before meeting the Mississippi River in Hastings. According to the DNR, buckthorn was brought to Minnesota from Europe in the mid1800s as a popular hedging material. It’s a problem because

it out-competes for native plants and degrades wildlife habitat. It stopped being sold in the 1930s, but buckthorn hedges are still found in older neighborhoods throughout Minnesota. The buckthorn problem isn’t over. Next spring, Trout Unlimited’s Vermillion River Keepers will be clearing buckthorn and invasive species and they’re currently looking for more volunteers. More information about volunteering for stream restoration work is available online at www.twincitiestu.org and www.mntu.org. Piles of buckthorn were set ablaze along the Vermillion River near Highway 52 on Monday. (Photo by Andy Rogers) Email Andy Rogers at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Interchange work earns grant Highway 52 and County Road 42 project expected to be bid this year by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Area residents who use the Highway 52 and County Road 42 interchange don’t need to be reminded of the caution recommended when driving there. It’s been long known as a place where crashes tend to happen. A five-year crash study in 2002 revealed the crash rate around the interchange was nearly double that of surrounding sections, and those crashes were responsible for 10 injuries and three fatalities. Rosemount and Dakota County officials have long clamored for funding to upgrade safety measures at the interchange, and part of their wish was granted recently when $3.1 million was awarded from the state’s Transportation Economic Development Program for the project. “This interchange has been an important project for Rosemount for the past two decades,� Mayor Bill Droste said. “Safety issues have been the primary drivers for the need of a modern interchange.� The grant will aid in the reconstruction of the interchange, create four lanes on County Road 42 through the interchange and add turning lanes, removing sight line issues in the process. State Sen. Greg Clausen, DFL-Apple Valley, said he was supportive of the project, calling this a dangerous intersection that needs immediate attention. He said the current intersection results in crash severity rates 60 to 130 percent higher than the statewide average. Clausen said Dakota County has $12.5 million set aside for the project with the remainder of the cost to be split between the county and the city of Rosemount, 55-45. The Federal Highway Administration has committed $7.8 million. The TED Program, a partnership of

the Minnesota Department of Transportation and the Department of Employment and Economic Development, was designed as a way to identify projects that could not only improve transportation but also stimulate economic activity. “Long term, we believe upgrading this area to a full interchange, that includes the redesign of the 52/42 intersection, will have a positive impact on future economic development opportunities,� Droste said. The interchange is to the south of Rosemount’s No. 1 employer – Flint Hills Resources’ Pine Bend Refinery. There are also several other major employers nearby, including transportation companies. “These businesses depend on access to safe and efficient transportation roadways,� Clausen said. “For every public dollar we invest, Minnesota’s Transportation Economic Development program leverages an additional $3 in economic development investment,� Lt. Gov. Tina Smith said in a press release. “These are great projects, but they don’t come close to meeting our need for a sustainable, comprehensive solution to Minnesota’s transportation challenges. If we want to grow jobs and our economy, we need a statewide transportation system that works everywhere, for Minnesotans and Minnesota businesses.� MnDOT and DEED have provided nearly $77 million in grants to 28 communities through the TED program since 2011. The program has leveraged more than $119 million from public and private partners. The $32 million provided this year in state TED funds will help leverage other federal, state, local and private funding for a total construction program of $137 million. State funding for the program comes from trunk highway dollars ($29.7 million) and DEED general obligation bonds ($2.3 million). The 42/52 interchange work is estimated to cost $22.3 million, is expected to create 172 full-time and 322 part-time jobs. It is expected the work would be sent out for bids this year.

MVTA reports ridership has increased The Minnesota Valley Transit Authority (MVTA) ridership continued its upward trend, setting a record again with a total of 2,965,964 rides in 2015, an increase of 5.5 percent from 2014. “The MVTA is proud of our 2015 ridership growth,� said MVTA Board Chair and Apple Valley Council Member Clint Hooppaw. “The merger with Prior Lake and Shakopee certainly accounts for a portion of the increase, but we introduced a new route in Shakopee, and some of our existing routes saw good growth due to trip additions or rider trends. Our anecdotal data also indicates that amenities as Wi-Fi on our buses, additional service to the University of Minnesota, and operation of the METRO Red Line BRT service (under contract with the Metropolitan Council) have all contributed to our growth.� MVTA’s 2015 highest ridership routes are Route 460 (Burnsville to/from downtown Minneapolis) with 434,181 rides for the year; Route 477 (Apple Valley to/from downtown Minneapolis) with 354,060 rides, Route 444 (local service between Burnsville/Savage/Cedar Grove

and Mall of America) with 244,543 rides, and Route 460 (all day service between Burnsville and the University of Minnesota with select trips also serving downtown Minneapolis) with 260,302 rides. Routes with the highest ridership gains in 2015 were: Route 420 (local service between Rosemount and Apple Valley) up 7.2 percent, Route 440 (local service between Apple Valley/Minnesota Zoo/Cedar Grove/VA Medical Center) up 2.3 percent, Route 460 (express service between Burnsville and downtown Minneapolis) up 2.5 percent and Route 478 (express service between Rosemount and downtown Minneapolis) up 61.6 percent due to trip additions. Service changes for 2016 include the addition of five buses/additional trips for service between Apple Valley, Burnsville and Eagan and downtown St. Paul. MVTA is the public transportation provider for residents and businesses of Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Prior Lake, Rosemount, Savage and Shakopee.

MILLER, from 1A where she served alongside CEOs of giant companies like American Express, Facebook, Comcast and Intel. “It’s like all the boxes are checked,� said Daron Van Helden, who worked closely with Miller as president of the Burnsville chamber from 2002 to 2012. In 2014 Miller served as the first female president of the Precision Machined Parts Association, a trade association of mostly North American manufacturers. “She’s obviously a woman in a (mostly maleowned) manufacturing field,� Van Helden said. “That’s been pointed out many times by others. She’s not afraid of stepping into an area that maybe wouldn’t be expected.� Along with Pam Myhra, a former state representative from Burnsville, Miller is one of two women to announce their candidacies for the nomination. Miller has said she intends to run in the primary regardless of party endorsement. Other announced candidates are South St. Paul engineer David Gerson; political talk show host Jason Lewis, of Woodbury; former Red Wing Mayor and state Sen. John Howe; and David Benson-StaeZOO, from 1A announce John’s appointment following that meeting.� The Minnesota Zoo began its search for a new director with the departure of longtime zoo director Lee Ehmke, who signed on as president and chief executive at the Houston Zoo in August. Kevin Willis, the zoo’s vice president for biological programs for more than a decade, has served BRANDT, from 1A county. The county’s Medical Examiner office was consolidated with Hennepin and Scott counties. The county formed the Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers Board with Scott County, the largest water management organization in the Metropolitan area. Richardson said that many people made these changes possible and that

bler, of Morris. Miller said she’s considered running since Kline announced last year he wouldn’t seek re-election. She took a step back when it looked like “some really viable candidates like Mary Pawlenty� might surface. But the former Minnesota first lady declined. In her announcement, Miller said Obamacare, taxes, over-regulation and deficit spending are “crushing our country and killing the jobs that help the middle class.� Asked in an interview how over-regulation affects her business, Miller said, “My list would be too long.� “You have to be interested in order to maintain your business,� she said. Raised on a New Prague farm, Miller was hired by Permac as a sales representative in 1992. She bought into the company and completed the purchase in 1994. The company ran on “antiquated� systems that Miller updated. She sought measured annual growth of 15 percent, but the growth ended in 2009, when the recession pushed revenues down by 40 percent. Miller was able to restore some of the positions lost to the recession and today employs about 30. She has diversified the company’s product line

and manufactures parts for several industry sectors, including aerospace, defense, medicine, transportation, hydraulics and food and beverage. While serving on Obama’s nonpartisan jobs task force, Miller co-chaired the High Tech Education subgroup and helped create an advanced manufacturing skills training program called “Right Skills Now.� It has spread to at least eight states, her campaign said. Miller has discussed the program with former President Bill Clinton onstage at a Clinton Global Initiative event. “She’s lived this stuff,� Van Helden said. “She’s lived this workforce thing like no other.� Permac has also hosted public figures on its manufacturing floor. U.S. Rep. Tom Emmer, R-6th District, launched his 2010 gubernatorial campaign at Miller’s business. She hosted a visit by then-U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke in April 2011. DFLer Angie Craig, of Eagan, appears to be her party’s only candidate in the race. Two others dropped out last week. Craig is a vice president of global human resources at St. Paul-based St. Jude Medical.

as interim director since Ehmke’s departure. Maritz said Frawley meets all of the desired qualifications the Search Committee looked at when vetting candidates: “a track record of successful business leadership, a passionate commitment to conservation, and strong ties to Minnesota.� Frawley is a Minnesota native whose early career included working as a zookeeper at the Minnesota Zoo, from 1988 to 1992.

As president and CEO of Bay.org, he directs the conservation not-for-profit’s efforts to protect and restore San Francisco Bay and its watershed. “We believe we have found a great candidate to help fulfill our mission to connect people, animals, and the natural world to save wildlife,� Maritz said.

they would not have happened without others’ work and contributions. Richardson began his public service career in Wisconsin after graduating from Miami University (Ohio). He received graduate degrees from the Institute of Environmental Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.Â

Richardson also worked at the Dane County (Wis.) Regional Planning Commission, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, the Minnesota Water Planning Board and Scott County. Richardson and his wife, Mary, are longtime residents of Dakota County, where they raised two children.

Sports Eagles look just as strong from other side of mat Wrestlers defeat Jackson-led Shakopee 46-15 by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Apple Valley’s and Shakopee’s wrestlers and coaches tried to treat it like any other match. But it wasn’t, and everybody involved knew it. After all, how often does one of the winningest coaches in any sport compete against the school where he had his success? That happened Jan. 7 when the second-ranked Eagles traveled to Shakopee to take on the fifthranked Sabers – and new head coach Jim Jackson, who coached in the Apple Valley program for 32 years before stepping aside in 2012. Apple Valley won the first four matches and 10 of 14 overall in its 46-15 victory. As head coach at Apple Valley from 1995 to 2012, Jackson’s teams won 619 matches and 14 state championships. But Thursday was the first time in his career he had coached against Apple Valley in a varsity match. Jackson and Apple Valley coach Dalen Wasmund said that subject never was raised in their teams’ practices earlier in the week. Apple Valley captain Mark Hall said the Eagle wrestlers were well aware of the subplot but didn’t let it affect their preparation.

Apple Valley’s Brady Gross tries to work Connor Raines’ shoulders toward the mat during a Jan. 7 match at Shakopee. Gross won by major decision and the Eagles won 46-15. “We have a good group of guys who don’t get scared or in awe of a big match or a tough team,” said Hall, a five-time state champion who’s ranked first nationally at 170 pounds. Hall won by fall in 1 minute, 15 seconds. The Eagles’ Gable Steveson, ranked first nationally at 220, moved up to 285 and scored takedown after takedown before his match ended by technical fall in the second period with Steveson holding a 27-10 lead. Injuries, however, deprived the match of some of its star power. Shakopee was missing three injured starters, including Owen Webster, who’s ranked first in Class 3A at 182. “Two of the three will be back, hopefully,” Jackson said. “But you can’t

use (injuries) as an excuse. The next guy has to be ready.” Apple Valley senior Brock Morgan, ranked first in Class 3A at 145, injured his right ankle 24 seconds into his match with Alex Lloyd (ranked second in Class 3A at 138) and had to default. The injury also took Morgan out of last weekend’s Cheesehead Invitational in Kaukauna, Wisconsin, where the Eagles placed fifth of 27 teams. Eagles sophomore Peyton McLagan opened the Shakopee match by winning 1-0 in four overtimes at 106. Nate Larson (113), Sebas Swiggum (126) and Tanyi Besong (220) pinned their opponents. Brady Gross (120) and Tyler Kim (195) earned major decisions, and Jalen Thul (152)

Lightning girls return to normal routine 11-1 Eastview faces challenging week by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Molly Kasper returned to her duties as Eastview girls basketball coach this week after giving birth to her first child, a daughter, on Christmas day. About the only thing in her life that hasn’t changed is the basketball team, which continued to play well even after Kasper stepped away briefly. She watched two Eastview games from the stands as assistant coach Ellen Spika ran the team. Saturday, Kasper watched from the bench but Spika continued to serve as head coach as the Lightning, ranked fourth in Class 4A, crushed Simley 86-32. The plan was for Kasper to ease back into coaching gradually while she adapted to life with a baby – “they don’t come with an instruction manual,” she noted – but the Lightning’s routine returned to normal when it played at Lakeville South on Tuesday night. Eastview won 50-45 to improve to 11-1 overall, 5-0 in the South Suburban Conference. When she wasn’t coaching the team, “I got to see things from a totally different perspective,” Kasper said. “We talked about how it was kind of cool for me to watch a couple of games from where the fans and parents sit.” One of the things that stood out in the games she watched was “our scoring was really balanced,” the coach said. “In our holiday tournament (at St. Olaf College) we had three different high scorers. Against Simley on Saturday, we had four players score in double figures.” Kasper said she prefers to see her team on the attack at both ends of the court and was happy to see the Lightning shut down Simley as well as hold Rosemount to 16 first-half points in a 57-48 victory last Friday.

“Some nights you don’t know if the ball is going to go in the hole, and those are the nights when defense can win games for you,” said Kasper, the Lightning’s first-year head coach. “We’re asking our kids to do some things that are different than what did with their AAU teams, and we’re seeing a lot more times when all five players on the court are doing what they’re supposed to do.” Eastview also appears to be developing more versatility as forwards Miranda Crenshaw, Mariah Alipate and Colleen Muraca earn more playing time. “Our lineup is always going to depend on matchups, but Miranda can be a force inside and Mariah can play well inside or outside,” Kasper said. That also would allow Rachel Ranke, a 6-foot junior, to spend more time on the perimeter, where she is Eastview’s most dangerous three-point shooter. Ranke, who’s averaging 16.7 points a game, scored 22 against Simley and 23 in a 64-48 loss to Hopkins in the final round of the St. Olaf tourney Dec. 31. Junior guard Allie Pickrain had 18 points and sophomore forward Megan Walstad had seven rebounds as Eastview edged Orono, the top-ranked team in Class 3A, 52-51 on Dec. 30 at the St. Olaf tournament. The Lightning beat Prior Lake 60-35 in the first round at St. Olaf as senior point guard Erika Schlosser scored 19 points and Walstad added 14. The Lightning plays Farmington at home at 7 p.m. Thursday, then plays a non-conference game at 2:30 p.m. Saturday at thirdranked St. Michael-Albertville. Eastview returns to South Suburban Conference play Tuesday, Jan. 19, at home against secondranked Shakopee. “One of the reasons we play a tough non-conference schedule is to prepare for weeks like this, when we play three games,” Kasper said. “It’ll also give a lot of opportunities for different girls to contribute.”

and Prince Hyeamang (182) won by decision. Besong went 6-0 at the Clash Duals on Jan. 1-2 in Rochester. He is ranked seventh in Class 3A at 285 but could move up because the most recent state rankings came out before the Clash. Steveson and Besong give the Eagles flexibility at the top of the lineup, Wasmund said. “The key thing is Tanyi and Gable both can weigh in at 220,” Wasmund said. “Then we can use either one in either spot (220 or 285) depending on how we like the matchups.” Hall said the toughest part of the Eagles’ regular-season schedule would be over after the Cheesehead Invitational, and they can concentrate on getting wrestlers rested and healthy before next

month’s Class 3A, Section 2 team and individual competition. Wasmund said some Apple Valley wrestlers will have to be held out of matches in the next few weeks so they don’t exceed the regularseason maximum of 36. Apple Valley had been viewed as potentially vulnerable in the lower weights, but Hall didn’t see it that way. “I think they’re doing better than we expected,” Hall said of the Eagles’ lower-weight wrestlers. “They still need to get better but we have time to work with them so by the time sections come around, they’ll score points for us.” Another match with Apple Valley could be in Jackson’s near future because the Minnesota State High School League’s every-other-year realignment put Shakopee and the Eagles in the same section. Apple Valley never missed qualifying for the state team tournament in the 17 years (1995-2012) Jackson was the Eagles’ head coach. Now the Eagles are his biggest roadblock. “Our kids battled, but Apple Valley is Apple Valley,” Jackson said. “They’re very good.” Jackson stepped down at Apple Valley after the 2011-12 season – it was described as a retirement at the time – and spent the next two years out of coaching. Wasmund, formerly an Eagles assistant, became head coach and

his teams extended Apple Valley’s streak of consecutive state team championships to 10. By 2014, Jackson said his family gave him approval to return to coaching, and he became associate head coach at Eden Prairie. He was chosen to take over the Shakopee program last spring after longtime Sabers coach Mark Neu stepped down. “It’s a good situation. We have a lot of talented kids, and we have support from the administration and parents,” Jackson said. “So it was a very good opportunity.”

Cheesehead Invitational Apple Valley was fifth overall and the No. 3 team from Minnesota at the Cheesehead Invitational last weekend. Two Illinois teams, Mount Carmel and Carl Sandburg, placed first and second with 582 and 557 points. Next were three Minnesota schools, Kasson-Mantorville (465), St. Michael-Albertville (459) and Apple Valley (446). Hall and Steveson were individual champions at 170 and 220 as both remained undefeated this season. Kyle Rathman was 6-1 at 132 pounds and placed third, while Nate Larson was 5-2 at 113, placing fourth. Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

Eagan took 38 shots on Ben Savard, but none got past the Apple Valley goalie as the Eagles won the South Suburban Conference boys hockey game 1-0 on Saturday night. It was the second 1-0 victory for Apple Valley (6-7-1) in its last three games; Savard was in goal for both. (Photo by Mike Shaughnessy)

Notebook: local athletes shine at worldwide venues by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Athletes with ties to Dakota County excelled in venues around the world last week. The USA Volleyball women’s national team clinched a place in the 2016 Olympics by winning the NORCECA Olympic Qualification Tournament in Lincoln, Nebraska. There’s a strong possibility one of the players on the U.S. team will be Burnsville High School graduate Tori Dixon, who was named the second-best middle blocker in the Olympic qualifier. Dixon had eight kills and a block as the U.S., ranked first in the world, defeated the Dominican Republic in a three-set sweep Saturday. She also had eight kills and a block as the U.S. defeated Puerto Rico in four sets and contributed seven kills as the U.S. swept Canada. In 2014 Dixon played for the gold medal-winning U.S. team at the world championships in Italy. It was the first American women’s team to win a gold medal in any international tournament. She also helped the national team place first in the 2015 FIVB World Grand Prix. In 2009, Dixon led Burnsville High to third place in the state Class 3A volleyball tournament. Then she played four years at the University of Minnesota, helping the Gophers reach the NCAA round of 16 each season. Dixon was honorable mention All-Amer-

ica twice and second team AllAmerica once before being named first team All-America in her senior season. Since graduating from Minnesota – and when not playing with the national team – Dixon has played club volleyball in Asia. She currently plays for the Toray Arrows in Kyoto, Japan. Burnsville will have one other connection to the U.S. women’s national team: strength and conditioning coach Jimmy Stitz also is a Burnsville High graduate.

World U18 hockey Eastview High School junior Natalie Snodgrass is among Team USA’s leading scorers through three games at the International Ice Hockey Federation Under-18 World Women’s Championship in St. Catherines, Ontario. Snodgrass had two goals as Team USA defeated the Czech Republic 6-0 in the first round Jan. 8. She had a goal and assist in a 6-0 victory over Russia on Jan. 9, and scored once in a 4-1 victory over Canada on Monday. The elimination stage of the tournament started Tuesday with the quarterfinals. The championship game is Friday. Team USA has played in the gold medal game in all eight previous U18 World Women’s Championships. There are 13 Minnesota high school players on the U.S. team, making up more than half of the 22-player roster. Four more play at Shattuck-St. Mary’s in Faribault.

Snodgrass, a University of Connecticut commit, is having a huge season for the Eastview girls. She scored 22 goals in her team’s first 12 games, vaulting the Lightning into contention in the South Suburban Conference. She leads Eastview in scoring with 31 points.

The Bison rule FCS Several players from Dakota County played for the North Dakota State University football team that defeated Jacksonville State 37-10 for the NCAA Division I FCS championship on Saturday. The Bison won their fifth consecutive FCS title. Rosemount High School graduate Zach Vraa, who holds several NDSU career receiving records, had three catches for 32 yards in the championship game in Frisco, Texas. Defensive back C.J. Smith (Burnsville High School) and defensive lineman Greg Menard (Lakeville North) started the championship game. Eastview High graduate Zack Johnson started at left guard for NDSU. Johnson, a 6-foot-4, 326-pound redshirt junior, sat out the 2014 season while recovering from knee surgery but returned in 2015 and earned a spot on the Associated Press FCS All-America third team. Rosemount High graduate Dimitri Williams saw playing time for the Bison at wide receiver as a true freshman. Zack Ziemer of Lakeville North is a backup guard.

INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 196 ROSEMOUNT-APPLE VALLEY-EAGAN PUBLIC SCHOOLS REGULAR MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 14, 2015 This is a summary of the Independent School District 196 regular School Board meeting on Monday, December 14, 2015 with the full text available for public inspection on the district website at www.district196.org or at the District Office, 3455 153rd Street West, Rosemount, Minnesota 55068 or by standard or electronic mail. The meeting was called to order at 6 p.m. on December 14, 2015 at Dakota Ridge School followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. Board members present: Joel Albright, Rob Duchscher, Gary Huusko, Jackie Magnuson, Mike Roseen, Bob Schutte and Superintendent Berenz. Absent: Art Coulson. Board members recognized Sandy Setter Larsen for being named Region 3AA Athletic Administrator of the Year, and Eagan High School volleyball and girls’ soccer teams for their state championships. Motion by Huusko, seconded by Magnuson and carried with a 6-0

vote to approve the agenda. Superintendent Berenz recognized: 19 students from Falcon Ridge and Black Hawk middle schools who performed with the state honor choirs; Apple Valley High School on the grand opening of its fabrication lab; Dakota United Hawks physically impaired soccer team; swimmers from Rosemount and Eagan high schools for their performances at state, especially Megan Wenman who was the state runner-up in 200-yard individual medley, and Teaching and Learning Coordinator Cathy Kindem who received a prestigious Mark McAfee Friend of Workplace Development Award. Motion by Schutte, seconded by Roseen and carried with a 6-0 vote to approve Consent items: minutes for November 9 regular and December 2 special board meetings; claims; electronic funds transfer; schedule of investments; gifts; advertising revenue; Eagan Rotary grant; rejection of all bids for the Learning Management System; personnel separations, leaves of absence and new staff; pay rates for substitute, temporary and parttime employees; agreements for student teachers and occupational therapy clinical experience; agreements with four continuing contract teachers for additional FTE, and agreement for spring 2016 assessments. Motion by Magnuson, seconded by Huusko and carried with a 6-0 vote to approve the 2016-17 Middle School and High School Course Revisions. Director of Finance and Operations Jeff Solomon reviewed the levy certification process, presented an overview of basic school funding and provided an analysis of the 2015 (payable 2016) property tax levy. Solomon noted the total levy is $85.6 million, an increase of $7 million, or 9 percent over last year as a result of last month’s bond vote. Solomon noted property taxes account for about 19 percent of the district’s revenue and that stable taxes for district taxpayers is a board objective. He also reported the district would be penalized through a reduction in state aid if it the full dollar amount is not levied. Motion by Huusko, seconded by Schutte and carried with a 6-0 vote to approve certifying the 2015 (payable 2016) property tax levy. Solomon presented the 2015-16 final budget. He shared an overview of revenues and expenditures for all funds and noted the projected general fund balance is $23.8 million, or 7.1 percent of the expenditure budget. The total budget for 2015-16, including all operating funds and non-operating funds, shows estimated revenues of $408,737,590; expenditures of $411,280,551 and a projected year-end fund balance of $84,796,494. The board is scheduled to act on the final budget at its January 4 meeting. Solomon reported the Board Audit and Finance Committee met to discuss a bond issuance relative to the November 2015 bond election. Joel Sutter of Ehlers, Inc. presented a resolution authorizing Ehlers to solicit written proposals for a January 20, 2016 sale of approximately $121.3 million general obligation school building bonds. The Budget Advisory Council recommended that the district sell in a single sale to take advantage of historically low interest rates and Sutter noted the low rates will lessen the tax impact. Motion by Roseen, seconded by Albright and carried with a 6-0 vote to approve the resolution for sale of $121,295,000 general obligation school building bonds, series 2016A. Berenz reported the Reconsideration Review Committee voted to retain the book “Just One Day” at the middle school and high school levels. Motion by Magnuson, seconded by Schutte and carried, with six members voting in favor and no member voting in opposition, to adjourn the meeting at 6:50 p.m. Published in the Apple Valley Sun Thisweek, Lakeville Sun Thisweek, Burnsville/Eagan Sun Thisweek January 15, 2016 496544

Burnsville man guilty in knife attack on ex-girlfriend A Burnsville man who stabbed his ex-girlfriend, proclaiming that if he couldn’t have her nobody could, was found guilty Tuesday of attempted murder and other crimes. A Dakota County jury took four hours to find Jason Alexander Lott, 38, guilty of attempted intentional second-degree murder, first-degree assault and two counts of second-degree assault,

County Attorney James Backstrom said. One of the second-degree charges stems from Lott’s attempt to stab the woman’s 14-year-old daughter when she tried to intervene in the attack. The woman foiled the attempt on her daughter before the knife broke, according to the criminal complaint. Sentencing is scheduled for

March 18. “We will be seeking a significant prison term,� Backstrom said in a statement. The attacks occurred June 16, 2015, at the apartment Lott and the woman shared on the 14700 block of Portland Avenue. The two, who have a child together, had been together “for the past few years,� the complaint said. The woman had asked Lott

to leave three days before the attacks. The next day he returned and took her cellphone, keys and parking pass. Lott returned the morning of June 16. The woman, lying in bed, heard the front door unlock. Lott came into the bedroom, dropped the woman’s keys and went to the kitchen for a long knife. The woman heard the kitchen drawer opening.

Lott returned and stabbed her in her abdomen, right leg and right arm. Lott turned the knife on the daughter, who came into the bedroom when she heard her mother screaming, the complaint said. After the woman foiled the attack, Lott fled. The woman underwent surgery for her injuries. — John Gessner

Apple Valley man injured in car-semi broadside collision An Apple Valley man was hospitalized last week after his vehicle was struck by a semi truck that failed to stop for a red light. Jacob A. Fasching, 24, was driving west on Lone Oak Parkway in Eagan and pro-

Patrol. Fasching was transported to Regions Hospital in St. Paul for treatment of “serious injury,� the State Patrol said. He was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the broadside collision.

The driver of the Freightliner — John Chryn, 69, of Bruno, Minn. — was not injured. Fasching’s Honda was totaled in the incident. The State Patrol listed damage to the Freightliner as “moderate.�

No alcohol was detected in either driver’s system, the State Patrol said. Road conditions were dry at the time of the crash. Eagan police assisted the State Patrol at the scene. —Andrew Miller
