How Lewis plans to make the most of a good time to be a Republican by Sam Brodey MINNPOST

There are a few things on the to-do list of every brand-new member of Congress: learn your way around, angle for good committee assignments, furnish an empty office with chairs and desks and staffers. And if you’re Jason Lewis, your to-do list also includes repealing the Affordable Care Act. Not all freshmen members of Congress get to contribute to their party’s top agenda items from the get-go. But Lewis, the new representative of the 2nd Congressional District, and his fellow freshmen, arrive in a Washington in which the White House and Congress will soon be controlled by the GOP. The former conservative talk radio host who called himself Minnesota’s “Mr. Right� finds himself in D.C. at the right mo-

ment: there might be no better time to be an ambitious freshman Republican. MinnPost caught up with Lewis about what he, and his party, might accomplish.

From AM to D.C. Before the election, not a whole lot of Minnesota political insiders on either side imagined that Lewis and Trump would be packing their bags for Washington at the same time. Both candidates, brandishing their outsider credentials and penchants for controversy, rode a wave of anti-establishment dissatisfaction to improbable wins in November. In that sense, Lewis is just right for this political moment, which rewarded the kind of controversial rhetoric and partisan warfare that he practiced for over two decades on the radio. But Lewis has also

Rep. Jason Lewis: “There are 435 Type A persons in the House of Representatives. The idea that one of them is going to go there and get their way on everything is ludicrous on its face.� (MinnPost photo by Sam Brodey) framed his experience on the radio as a process of engaging with ideas. Indeed, he had hundreds of hours to debate and elaborate on his philosophy of government, which he describes as Constitution-

Better days ahead for historic hotel AmericInn was original Country Inn and Suites

by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Today it’s a reclamation project. But when it opened in 1987, the hotel at 14331 Nicollet Court in Burnsville made history. It was the first Country Inn and Suites by Carlson, now a widely franchised brand built by the iconic Carlson Companies of Minnetonka. It opened next to a Country Kitchen restaurant in the triangle created by County Road 42 and the confluence of interstates 35E and 35W. A new ownership group is reviving the 82room property after what it says were years of neglect under the previous owner. Now the AmericInn

Burnsville, it was bought in July by Plymouthbased Ruhr Development, which owns and operates 14 lodging properties in Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin. Ruhr is spending $3.5 million for the hotel and a top-to-bottom renovation that will restore its standing among Burnsville’s nine lodging properties as a reputable, midpriced, limited-service hotel, President Jeff Ruhr said. “It is undeniable that it was on its heels. The great thing about that property is its history,� said Amie Burrill, executive director of Experience Burnsville (also known as the Burnsville Convention and Visitors Bureau, which collects a lodging tax to promote the city’s hotels).

The hotel’s new manager, Cathy Grunwald, is “absolutely dynamite,� Burrill she said. “She’s so good for that property.� The Carlson Companies eventually sold the property, which then operated for years as a successful Days Inn, Burrill said. After another sale about six years ago, it became an AmericInn. The owners eventually lost the AmericInn franchise rights, she said, and the struggling hotel had a run as the independent Burnsville Inn. “Financially, it was not in a good way,� according to Ruhr, who said he bought the property from a group called Tricon Lodging. “The storm clouds were gathering, let’s put it that way.� Ruhr and the mostly new hotel staff were immediately confronted with client-driven headaches, including an August drug bust in the parking lot, Ruhr said. “The property was well-known to the Police Department,� he said. “We found that out on the first day.� Homeless people were discovered in some of the rooms after they’d cut window screens and broken windows or doors to gain entrance, Grunwald said. An inattentive front-desk staff under the previous ownership was partly to blame, Ruhr said. “They were obviously able to get into the building prior to our being here,� said Grunwald, a

Some spaces were piled with unused or discarded items. “In the first three days we emptied two 30-yard dumpsters,� Ruhr said. But he wasn’t discouraged. “We weren’t just showing up and buying a property and saying we hope it does well,� he said. “We are hands-on, active, experienced management, who spend most of our time investing in our property and our people. If we invest in those two things, the guest part will

take care of itself.� The rooms are now a third of the way through a total interior makeover that should be finished in March, according to Ruhr, who said his father, Patrick Michael, was the original president of the Chanhassen-based AmericInn chain. The big fix started with repairing doors, locks and windows for security, Ruhr said. The hotel also has a new camera system. Room renovations began with simply making some rooms “habitable,� Grunwald said. “Microwaves, refrigerators, telephones — things that most guests would expect in rooms,� she said. The fully renovated rooms will have all been “gutted� and refurbished, she said.

“Basically, when it comes to the rooms, everything went out and all new stuff came back in,� Ruhr said. “There was some carpet we kept because it was brand-new carpet, like within the last two years, but some rooms, even with brandnew carpet, had been so heavily smoked in we couldn’t save that carpet.� Ruhr likes the challenge. “A lot of people want to buy a high-end, functioning hotel that’s doing really well, just own it and take the cash flow,� he said. “I like to look at them and say, ‘What can it be versus what it is?’ � John Gessner can be reached at (952) 846-2031 or email john.gessner@ecm-inc. com.

McAndrews Road reconstruction open house Thursday, Feb. 2 by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

An open house regarding McAndrews Road improvements is scheduled for 4:30-6:30 p.m. Feb. 2 at Rosemount City Hall, 2875 145th St. W. Dakota County along with the cities of Rosemount and Apple Valley are planning to convert 2.2 miles of County Road 38/ McAndrews Road from Pilot Knob Road to South Robert Trail/Highway 3 to a three-lane highway with a center left-turn lane and

dedicated right-turn lanes. Dakota County has been planning on working on McAndrews Road for some time, according to John Morast, Rosemount city engineer. He said they’re not planning on completing any trails along the road during the project because a large gas line is in the way and would cost about $1.5 million to replace, but they could look at it in the future. Morast also said that the project will meet the city’s requirements for

storm water drainage. Rosemount Mayor Bill Droste asked during the City Council meeting Tuesday if the project would prevent flooding across the road, something that happened about 15-20 years ago. Morast said it should. Construction is planned for the summer of 2018. Staff will be in attendance to explain the project, gather input and answer questions.

‘Paradise Lost’ is art show title Ames Center show has environmental theme by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Acrylic painter George Lutz applied his brand of abstract realism to pink flamingos in one of their most popular habitats — the Mexican state of Yucatan, which has a wildlife preserve alive with migrating birds. “There are 20,000 left on the Yucatan Peninsula and there used to be millions before Columbus,â€? said Lutz, of Burnsville. “And they may be gone in another 20 years.â€? Lutz is the curator and originator of “Paradise Lost,â€? a show that will include his 64-inch by 64inch painting “Pink Flamingos of the Yucatan.â€?

Opinion Reflections on my columns in 2016 by Don Heinzman SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

As I look back at what columns I’ve written this past year, I want to stress some actions I hope you will remember. In July 2016, after an officer shot and killed a man in Falcon Heights, we were concerned over what we should do when stopped by a police officer? I had talked with Bloomington Police Chief Jeff Potts who said, when you see a squad car with blue and red lights flashing behind you, pull over to the side of the road – leaving room for the officer – roll down the window, wait and place both hands on the steering wheel. If you have a permit to carry a handgun and it is with you, immediately tell the officer you have a permit to carry and, even though you are not legally required, it’s best to tell the officer where it is located in the car, while still keep-

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Don Heinzman ing both hands on the wheel. Finally, do not reach for the glove compartment or a purse. Follow the officer’s instructions. I have written more than one column on the dangers of distracted driving. The Legislature increased the penalty for distracted driving, and I think talking on a cellphone while driving should be banned. To drive the point home, I quoted a letter written by a Vietnam War veteran, Doug Quick, of Lakeville, who said he felt safer in a war zone than driving

on Twin Cities freeways. In one day he avoided three head-on collisions. Quick offered suggestions I hope you’ll remember before you start to drive: Turn to the radio station you want, turn on the heat or air conditioner to where you want it, and say one Hail Mary to make it back home safely. I wrote a strong warning to youth football players from Ben Utecht, of Lakeville, a former college and professional football player. He suffered five major concussions, the last one as a member of the Cincinnati Bengals. Utecht, who slowly is losing his memory, advises parents not to let their boys play tackle football until they are in ninth grade. He suggests they enroll their sons in a national first- through eighth-grade program of highly competitive, noncontact football. Parents could prevent seven years of head trauma during the most important devel-

opmental time of a child’s brain, while allowing the child to participate in a sport that can provide great life lessons, he said. Good luck, Ben. Finally, I hope you’ll remember this when spring-cleaning rolls around and you are about to discard “stuff ”: Among that stuff will be items needy people can use. Contact the social service agency that collects such items nearest you. One I recommend is Bridging in Roseville and Bloomington, reputed to be the largest nonprofit furniture bank in North America. For Bloomington, call 952-888-1105 and Roseville, 651-631-3255. Happy 2017. Don Heinzman is a columnist for ECM Publishers. He can be reached through editor.thisweek@ecm-inc.com.

Maybe the state of Minnesota should make New Year’s resolutions, too. If so, here’s a suggestion: Minnesota should resolve that next year, it will take steps to make its economy more competitive. Most Minnesotans think our economy is doing well, but the reality is not so rosy. Between 2000 and 2015, Minnesota ranked only 30th among the states in income growth, 34th in increase in disposable income, and 28th in job growth. The Twin Cities, meanwhile, ranked just ninth among the nation’s 15 largest metropolitan areas in GDP growth. No wonder, then, that Minnesota’s own agencies project the state to be below average in both income and job growth in the years to come. If we drill down beneath these statistics, the picture looks worse. New business formation in Minnesota is below the national average and declining. Job quality is getting worse, too: there are fewer Minnesotans working in high-tech jobs today than there were in 2000, according to the Bureau of Labor Statis-

John Hinderaker tics. And Minnesota’s post-recession job growth has taken place almost entirely in the economic sectors that contribute the least to GDP. Most alarming of all, perhaps, is that the average private sector worker in Minnesota, in both the goods production and service sectors, is less productive than the U.S. average. Below average productivity leads inexorably to below average wages. It is no surprise, then, that Minnesota is no longer a magnet for residents of other states. As recently as the 1990s, Minnesota had a net population gain from domestic migration each year. But that flow has reversed. Now, every year Minnesota loses more residents to other states than it gains. In 2014, Minnesota suffered a net outflow of $948 million in household income due to domestic migration. People move for various personal and professional reasons, but undeniably, many who move from one state to

another are seeking economic opportunity. It is no wonder, given the data cited above, that more people leave Minnesota for better opportunities elsewhere, than come to Minnesota to improve their lot. Some Minnesotans may ask why the state needs to be more competitive. Why can’t we just stay the way we are? Well, we could. But a quote attributed to Trotsky is pertinent: “You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you.” In just the same way, Minnesotans may not be interested in competition. But other states are competing aggressively with us, whether we like it or not. If we don’t compete, we lose. How can Minnesota do better? Like the overweight person who resolves to work out every day, Minnesota can begin by shedding layers of bureaucracy, regulation and high taxes. A leaner, lower-tax regime will encourage business investment. It will cause Minnesotans to stay here, and residents of other states to move here. How do we know this? Because nearly all of Minnesota’s net loss of residents is to lower-tax states. Minnesota also can make better use of its resources. Few states can match Minnesota’s mineral resources, but obstacles to mining are so onerous that the industry is being strangled. The average mining job contributes six times as much to GDP as the average job in education

or health care, virtually the only sectors where Minnesota has added jobs postrecession. And finally, Minnesota can do a better job of training its young people for the occupations that fuel our economy. The most successful sector of Minnesota’s economy is manufacturing. Why? Largely because for capital-intensive manufacturers, Minnesota is one of the lowest-tax states in the U.S. What is the biggest problem Minnesota’s manufacturers face? The lack of a skilled work force. Minnesota spends an enormous amount of money on education, so even a modest reorientation of priorities in favor of technical education to prepare young people for jobs in, for example, manufacturing and construction would pay huge economic dividends. Do states make New Year’s resolutions? If they don’t, they should. In Minnesota, the clock is ticking. A high quality of life can only be sustained by a strong economy. As we enter 2017, Minnesota should resolve to make its economy more competitive, so that the lifestyle we all enjoy can be preserved for our children and grandchildren.

By the numbers: 2017 Dakota County taxes and budget by Joe Atkins SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Following a planning process that started last summer, the Dakota County Board adopted its budget for 2017 at its final county board meeting in 2016. Set forth below are highlights of the 2017 Dakota County budget. You will note that rather than put a political “spin” on the budget numbers by offering my own description, the aim in this column is to let the numbers speak for themselves. $360,370,899 This is Dakota County’s total budget for 2017. 2 percent increase The 2017 county budget increases the property tax levy by 2 percent, or about $16 per year on the average home in Dakota County, with the funds expended in the following areas (largest to smallest): social services mandated by the federal and state government; physical development like roads, bridges, parks/trails and plowing; public safety; libraries, property and other services.

Joe Atkins No. 1 of 87 counties Dakota County has the lowest property taxes per capita of any county in Minnesota. 20 percent of your tax bill The county portion of your property tax payment represents about 20 percent of the total, with the city, school district and special taxing districts making up the balance. $577 vs. $863 The average county portion of property taxes paid by the owner of a median value home in Dakota County is $577. The metro county average is $863 in county taxes. $40.6 million reduction For 2017, the county budget decreased $40.6 million compared to 2016, representing about a 10.1 percent

reduction. In 2016, the county budget was higher largely because the County Board used a combination of reserves and levy to pay off the county’s outstanding debt. $0 debt Dakota County engaged in a multiyear effort to pay off all its outstanding debt, and now has zero debt. As you can see from the debt chart below, being debt-free is a rarity among metro counties. Indeed, being debt-free is unique across the state and country. County – Debt Amount Anoka – $104,955,000 Carver – $22,065,000 Dakota County – $0 Hennepin – $721,810,000 Ramsey – $182,245,000 Scott – $59,130,000 Washington – $138,065,000 1,859 full-time employees Dakota County’s 2017 budget authorized employment of 1,859.60 fulltime employees or full-time equivalents (FTEs). For comparison, the total FTEs in 2009 for the county was 1,854, a difference of six employees. 0.004 employees per capita

Dakota County’s 2017 budget continues the county’s pattern of having the lowest number of employees per capita of any county in the metro area, at 0.004 FTEs per resident. Ramsey County and Carver County are on the opposite end of this measure, with nearly twice as many employees per resident. County employees are responsible for county roads, parks, libraries, public safety, waste management, property records, and community and social services mandated by the state and federal government, among other things.

Lakeville theater improvements To the editor: I was inspired by your article, “Big changes in store at Lakeville 21” in the Dec. 16 edition of the newspaper. I had no idea of the changes they made and are planning to make in the theater and I live only 2 miles from there. I read this article and decided to go and check it out. They have really done a great job with the place. While the work is not finished, parts of it make a whole different theater now. It has an improved feel, style and comfort. The leather seats are relaxing, spacious and comfortable. Though, the arm rests are a little narrow for two people and the control lights are a bit bright. The sound was engaging and realistic; booming at times.

I watched “Rogue One” in the Monster Theater. The surround sound had me completely immersed in the action. I felt like I was right there fighting the Stormtroopers on the beach. The new changes to the theater were definitely a step up. I appreciate your article alerting our community to the changes right here in our backyard. ZACH HOFF Credit River Township

Hope and change

reach and intrusive nature of government into the lives of all citizens. Lewis understands the purpose of the 10th amendment to the Constitution and how important it is to state’s rights and the concept of federalism. Lewis’ early votes to cut burdensome regulations is an important step in that direction. These regulations hurt consumers and are some of the primary reasons U.S. businesses cannot compete in the international arena. Furthermore, these regulations have not helped workers but have stifled competition and productivity. Another reason for our new found optimism is Lewis’ assignment to the House Budget Committee. We can now anticipate some genuine reasons for “hope and change.”

To the editor: The citizens of the 2nd Congressional District again have reasons to rejoice and be glad.

Lakeville fundraisers offer beacon of hope 2017 benefactor: Single mom with terminal cancer by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Monica Theis has been battling cancer for most of her life, and some friends and strangers from Lakeville are joining together to help encourage her on. The 44-year-old single parent of two teenage girls was diagnosed with stage 3 Hodgkin’s lymphoma at age 19 after Xrays revealed a mass in her chest. Theis, of Robbinsdale, underwent numerous radiation and chemotherapy treatments, endured surgeries and recurrences, twice thinking it was gone. In 2015 she was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer that had metastasized to her bones and lungs. “It is no longer curable,� said Dawn Sauber, also a parent of teenagers who with husband Larry Sauber are organizing their two annual fundraisers to help Theis with medical expenses. The first event is the March 25 Lakeville-Milltown-Lakeville race, an 80-mile gravel road bicycle race Larry Sauber runs that has grown over time among both men and women. Their second fundraiser is bagging groceries for tips April 15 from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. at the Cub Foods store at Heritage Drive in Lakeville. Dawn Sauber said Theis, who is the friend a bike ride volunteer, has battled the disease with a positive attitude that has helped define this year’s

Monica Theis with her teenage daughters MacKenna and Madison. (Photo submitted) theme of “hope.� “She talks about her cancer differently than a lot of other people,� Dawn Sauber said. “She doesn’t say the word terminal. She uses the word incurable and she chooses to live with this cancer as her long-term chronic illness as long as she can.� Theis said a friend encouraged her to think of her diagnosis as any other chronic condition. She said that suggestion “completely changed� the way she looked at the diagnosis. “There’s a lot of people who have lived with Stage 4 cancer for the last 10 years,� Theis said. “So, there’s no reason why I can’t be that person.� She said keeping a positive attitude has also kept her from worrying and concentrating too much on the future. “Having the last 20 years of my life kind of be not be the normal path people have, I think I have just learned to take each day as it comes,� Theis

said. “And I truly, truly believe that a positive impact has a really big impact on your mental and physical health and life in general.� This is the fifth year the Saubers have organized the annual fundraisers to benefit others in need. Previous beneficiaries have included Dillon Borowitz, a Lakeville teen paralyzed when he dove into a pool, the Lakeville Food Pantry, Jana Leigh Bell and Jason Bauer. Bell and Bauer both died in 2015. Theis said she is grateful and encouraged by the effort people are making to help her. “I just really appreciate the sense of community that I’ve felt in different ways throughout all of this,� Theis said. “People don’t realize what a huge impact they have. By them giving a couple hours in a day, it just makes such a huge impact on a family. Until you are on the receiving end, I just don’t think you have any idea

Cyclists travel over gravel roads during the 80-mile trip that starts and ends at Harry’s Restaurant in southern Lakeville. (Photo submitted) of how it feels; it’s pretty amazing.â€? Multiple Lakevillearea businesses have contributed to help make the fundraisers a success, including Harry’s CafĂŠ, Tony Ameries with Hearth and Home Technologies, Culvers, Jimmy Johns and Terra Greenhouses. Dawn Sauber said she is considering expanding the grocery bagging fundraiser in the future and this year there will be an unexpected twist for those who ride the cycling course this year.

Cedar Park students think globally, act locally Fourth-graders at Cedar Park STEM have been exploring and learning about what it means to be a member of a school, state, and world community as part of their first unit of literacy study. Students and teachers chose to act to help members of the local community and world as part of Cedar Park’s annual Exploration Classes. Students in Ashley Van Guilder, Lauren Knutson, Sheryl Struble, and Michelle Wanous’s classes made 19 fleece tie blankets. The blankets were donated to Fairview Ridges in Burnsville to pediatric patients in the hospital to make their spirits a little brighter and warmer. “It’s great for students to work together and help other children their age in a time of need,� Wanous said. Students in Natalie Giese’s class knitted hats on looms with the help of Cedar Park staff member and knitting expert: Barb Christensen. “Knitting is a great way to improve fine motor skills, work on estimate and predicting,

calms students, and is a great life-long skill,� Christensen said. Working together, the students knitted 51 hats. “I like to knit because it’s helping other people,� said fourth-grader Nyrielle Slaughter. The knitted hats will be donated to the homeless shelter, Mary’s Place in Minneapolis. All fourth-graders took a field trip to Feed My Starving Children in Eagan to package meals for children in third world countries. Students learned about the impact of not having enough food and worked hard to package enough meals to feed 174 children for a year. Students and staff were impacted in a positive manner. “I feel really good about what we just did,� said fourthgrader Wyatt Velasco. “It was so heart-warming to see our students who don’t have much helping others,� Van Guilder said. “Students who are not able to give anything monetarily had the opportunity to give back.�

Rosemount approves annual mining permits Dakota Aggregates says operations much quieter now by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Several acres of Rosemount are home to mining operations, which can be noisy and dirty at times. The Rosemount City Council approved several annual extraction permits for area mines during Monday’s meeting, including the largest one Dakota Aggregates. Dakota Aggregates, which operates in the western portion of the UMore Property along County Road 46 and Station Trail, has been the subject of noise complaints in the past and requested a slight modification to expand operations about a quarter mile south of Highway 42 for 2017. The company says it wants to be good neighbors. Dakota Aggregates representative Shaun Dahl said the company took several steps in 2016 to reduce the noise for now and in the future.

Council Member Shaun Nelson said he has logged numerous complaints over the years. He lives within a “few football fields� of the operation, which was started after he moved in, and he can hear the equipment when his windows are shut. Nelson spoke as a citizen during the public hearing last month and refrained from voting Tuesday at the suggestion of the city attorney, he said. Nelson said he’s taken issue with the mine since it opened and recognizes that Dakota Aggregates has taken measures to reduce the noise, but “it’s alarming when I wake up at night due to the noise,� he said. He said the company shouldn’t be allowed to operate during normal sleeping hours. Mining happens to the north and south portions 24/7 while in operation. Most of the truck hauling happens through the southern portion of the site. Nelson said he’s been in contact with Dakota Aggregates and recognizes the significant amount of taxes the company pays to the city, but he said he would put citizens first before big business. Kim Lindquist, Rosemount

community development director, said last year’s review included a lengthy conversation about the noise at the site, prompting a noise study. Dahl said the company paid for a sound study specialist last year and has taken several steps to dampen the noise. It built a 30-foot berm, which is larger than originally planned, dampened the noise on machines and rearranged equipment. “Frankly we feel we did a good job,� Dahl said during the public hearing last month. “We think the changes that were recommended by the sound study specialist were accurate and made a difference.� According to city documents, the sound consultant noted that sound from traffic along Highway 42 exceeds the noise coming from the mining facility. The noise reading data from July 2016 was compliant with Minnesota Pollution Control Agency standards. “I don’t think there’s any question we’ve made a dramatic improvement year over year from 2015 to 2016,� Dahl said. A condition of the approval was that another sound moni-

toring study will be conducted in residential neighborhoods this summer, Lindquist said. Dahl said Dakota Aggregates needs the extended hours to work to meet the demand of their customers because they can only operate about seven months a year. Transporting the goods is also safer and faster during off hours. Lindquist has asked residents with noise complaints regarding Dakota Aggregates to call 911 so there’s documentation. There was one complaint logged in 2016, which was by Nelson, but the investigation into the complaint said the noise came from the gravel operation south of 160th street in Empire Township, something Nelson doubted. The extraction permit was approved 4-0, with Nelson abstaining.

lege, according to minutes from the Port Authority meeting last month. The final plan will depend on users for the location, but Phil Cattanach, director of real estate at Opus Development, said potential users could be light manufacturing, e-commerce distribution centers or cold food storage. Cattanach said the timeline will depend on finding a user, but it could be one to three years. Opus Group is based in the Twin Cities and has built industrial parks throughout the United States. It would be the first private developer to buy land on the site since the University of Minnesota Board of Regents updated its master plan a few years ago. Opus would purchase the property in phases during the next 10 years.

District 194 plans another levy election District 194 selects

superintendent search firm

Referendum renewal may include increase request

Contract expected to be approved Jan. 24 by Laura Adelmann

by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

For the third time in four years, the Lakeville Area School District is planning a levy referendum election. If no other strategy is devised, three more levy renewal elections would be needed in the next 10 years to keep previously approved funding coming to the district. Board members agreed in a Jan. 17 study session a Nov. 7 levy election is needed to renew the expiring 2007 10-year $73 million levy at today’s cost of $82 million. “We’re going to have an election in November,� Board Member Jim Skelly said. “One way or the other something will be on the ballot. This renewal will be the minimum, otherwise we’re going to have to cut $8.2 million.� They discussed putting two questions on the ballot. The first would ask voters to renew the levy and the second would propose increasing it to fund middle school redesign and the introduction of STEM programming, Project Lead the Way. State law requires the board to vote by Aug. 25 to call for a referendum election that would be held Nov. 7. “It’s a property tax-neutral scenario unless we have a plus, unless we add something,� Board Member Bob Erickson said. The board also noted three additional levy referenda are set to expire in the next decade, setting the stage for more elections or developing another strategy moving forward. District 194 voters have approved since 2013 the last two requests that included three referenda totaling around $90 million over 10 years. Recent successful levy campaigns in the district have been predicated by hiring a consultant to poll the

Under the proposed timeline, the board would finalize the online application form by Feb. 24 and set an application deadline of April 4. Top candidates would be presented to the board mid-April and first round interviews are proposed to be held in late April. A suggested date for finalists to be interviewed is May 1, either in person or online. The interview process will likely include the top two or three candidates to attend an open forum with the public. Board members would have an option of inviting candidates for an on-site visit and then negotiations with the preferred candidate would be held. Morris emphasized the importance of the board to convey to the community it has its best interest at heart, will not skimp and will work with people who are committed and have a vested interest in serving this community. He said while there is shortage of top candidates from around the country, District 194 has many attributes that would attract talent, including its location, district size, quality of the teaching and curriculum offered and community assets and resources in and around Lakeville. The company includes a post search follow-up that includes two rounds of board surveys, the last at six months of hiring, at no additional cost and offer insight and suggestions for organizational improvements. Ray and Associates also guarantees its work by offering to conduct a second search for free if the board is dissatisfied with the new superintendent within two years of hiring them and if either party dissolves the relationship by resignation or termination. Morris said he has never had a circumstance where the guarantee has had to be employed, primarily because of the input they gather and process they have developed. Morris said his job is to make the board’s job of choosing a candidate difficult because of the quality of the people who apply. “We are not an employment firm,� Morris said. “We don’t work for prospective candidates. We work for you as a district. Because of that, we’ve established a national reputation and a national brand.�

The Lakeville Area School District has four operating levy referenda and one capital levy referendum that generate millions in revenue. The board told district staff to plan for an election this fall asking voters to renew the expiring 2007 levy and possibly increase it, in part to pay for middle school program changes. community to determine tax tolerance, and board members indicated interest in continuing that kind of methodology. Middle school principals recently met with the board and requested programming changes, noting prior levy dollars have been directed at the elementary and high school levels. The principals are slated to return Feb. 21 with more detailed plans of the changes sought, which ultimately include a potential to extend the school day from six to eight hours, increasing the number of exploratory and elective classes and adding staff to deliver STEM programming to all students. Superintendent Lisa Snyder said the principals will present a plan that would integrate some STEM programing in the district’s existing sixth-grade parameters and propose a timeline of middle school redesign work, all based on teacher input. Michael Baumann, executive director of business services, said about six to eight other metro area school districts have recently successfully renewed and increased expiring levy referenda and recommended the board do likewise. “One of the things you have to be careful of is not losing your renewal opportunity,� Baumann said. “Our estimate right now is about $8.2 million. We all know that would be a very difficult situation for our district, should we fail to get a renewal, so obviously, the

thinking has to be around renewal first, then any additional funds you may want.� Baumann said there needs to be precise, accurate communication to the public about what the renewal means and how the money will be used. Board Chair Michelle Volk said the board needs to have the middle school report to show the public the plans for the levy funds. Board Member Kathy Lewis said they typically try to do the work in the summer when school is out. “We can’t pass these (questions) without support from our community and our staff,� Lewis said. District 194 Controller Jaber Alsiddiqui said the board also has the option of revoking any of the referenda currently in place and changing the amount. Lewis said the board could renew 2017, revoke 2010 and maybe increase it to be whatever the district would need. “That’s a scenario that you’re kind of suggesting,� Lewis said. “I’m not so sure I like it or I don’t like it.� Baumann said the board has to have a “Plan A� and a “Plan B.� He said the revocation opportunity is a real option. “That’s why I said it out loud,� Baumann said. Volk said they need to have a lot of input from and discussion with the community moving forward. Laura Adelmann is at laura. adelmann@ecm-inc.com.

The Lakeville Area School District has chosen an Iowa-based national search firm to help guide the search for a new superintendent. Ray and Associates Inc. was agreed upon by School Board members as the firm they will hire out of three companies that submitted proposals and were interviewed for the job at their Jan. 17 work session. The board is expected to approve the company’s $21,000 contract at its Jan. 24 meeting. Other firms that were interviewed were McPherson & Jacobson of Nebraska and School Exec Connect, the Minneapolis firm the district last used to hire Superintendent Lisa Snyder, who resigned in November effective June 30. The entire board was present for the presentations from all three companies after board members Judy Keliher and Kathy Lewis raised concerns at a Jan. 10 meeting about an initial proposal for Board Chair Michelle Volk and Vice Chair Terry Lind to narrow proposals to two and then bring them before the full board. Lewis was added to the list of attendees, but Keliher said she would also attend. Just hours before its scheduled start, that meeting was cancelled, the plan changed, and all companies were invited to discuss their proposals with the entire board. Craig Morris represented Ray & Associates via a phone conversation. A native of Minnesota, Morris said they have a unique process that emphasizes listening on to the board, staff and community on the front-end, then translating those desired qualities into critical competencies, skills and abilities. The company has a Minnesota office in Lakeland, and Morris said they have the largest recruiting network of any search firm in the United States with more than 170 associates they work with around the country. Their proposal outlines a suggested timeline that would be reviewed and customized by the board. The suggested outline includes meeting with individual board members, stakeholders and constituents in February and also offers an online survey to gather as much Laura Adelmann is at laura.adelinput as possible from the commu- mann@ecm-inc.com. nity.

Habitat 500 bike ride keeps Apple Valley man in shape BY SUE WEBBER CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Getting started He began by borrowing a recumbent ike, and then he bought his own recument, signed up for the Habitat ride, and tarted training by biking the nine miles rom his Apple Valley home to his job in Burnsville. “Biking to work was key,â€? Oppelt said. I enjoyed it and it was a good way to tart and end the day. I started biking at he end of March and continued until October, or until the bike cables started reezing. I’d get to work before 6 a.m. ully awake, and shower. Mentally and hysically, it was a good thing to do.â€? Now retired, Oppelt bikes and jogs in he spring and early summer and jogs, walks and works out at a gym in the fall. He started the Habitat ride when he was 53 years old. “I was looking for ome way to give back, to get involved, s well as some way to combat my body etting older and very out of shape,â€? Opelt said. “So, I signed up for the ride and tarted biking to work to get in shape. Fifteen years later I am still at it. I have idden both the trike and the two-wheel ecumbent on the ride.â€? The route, always in Minnesota, conists of a loop, Oppelt said. â€œIts starting nd ending point are the same city,â€? he aid. â€œNormally the route is totally withn Minnesota, although occasionally the oute will venture into western Wisconin (the LaCrosse area) for a day or two.â€? The first and last days of the ride sually are short days of 50 to 60 miles Sunday and the following Saturday),â€? e said. â€œWednesday is our long day: a entury ride of 100 miles. The other days re 70 to 85 miles.â€? On Wednesday, riders have the option f working on a Habitat for Humanity ome instead of riding the 100 miles, Oppelt said. “Some older riders like myelf really prefer and appreciate that,â€? he aid. “The home we work on is called the Bike Home,â€? he said. â€œSome funds raised y the ride go toward paying for that ome, usually around $30,000. Some ears we are lucky and get to put up the wall on our build day. Other years when

A three-wheel recumbent bike sometimes has been Randy Oppelt’s choice for long-distance rides. (Submitted photo) Connecting the riders to a cause was found to be “very, very successful,â€? Oppelt said. “People understand the cause on a much more emotional level,â€? he said. He had his first chance to work on a Habitat home during his second ride. “We walked into a house and a little girl took the hand of one man and led him on a tour of ‘her house,’ and showed him ‘her room.’â€? Oppelt said. “We watched this go on and it was touching, very moving. That’s when I really became hooked. The little girl’s mother talked to our group and told them that now she had a safe home with a neighborhood, where her children could make friends and have security and a sense of belonging. That’s when I really understood it on an emotional level. Before that, it had been a concept.â€? Oppelt serves on the planning committee for the Habitat 500, and has served as chair for the last seven or eight years. He also serves on the board of directors of Habitat for Humanity of Minnesota, the organization that supports all the local affiliates in Minnesota that do the actual home building. “The ride keeps me physically and socially active, and gives me a sense of commitment and belonging,â€? Oppelt said. “I’ll have a hard time letting it go.â€? The 2017 ride is set for July 9-15. A native of Chicago, Oppelt came to the Twin Cities to attend Macalester College. He and his wife have three children and three grandchildren, all of whom are physically active, he said.

the house is already under construction, we do whatever is required at that time to move the house along.â€? During the ride, participants stay overnight at schools and sleep in the gym or camp outside on the grounds. Their breakfasts and dinners are usually provided by local churches. â€œWe are provided rest stops every 15 to 20 miles,â€? Oppelt said. “Food and beverages are provided at these stops.â€?

Roadside Assistance A nurse and massage therapist accompany the group. “The ride is well supported with a SAG (Support and Gear) crew in vehicles that watches over us and is there to help if we poop out or pop a tire,â€? Oppelt said. “The road crew keeps track of us via a ham radio. We can contact the SAG crew via cell phone whenever we need to, as long as there is cell service.â€? A bike mechanic also shadows riders along the route, ready to assist when mechanical problems arise. “Last year, we had a really bad stretch of rainy weather and he ended up changing over 100 flat tires,â€? Oppelt said. â€œRoad debris tends to stick to wet tires, resulting in more flat tires.â€? Each rider is required to fundraise a minimum of $1,000, but the average amount raised is usually two-and-onehalf times that amount, he said. “We average about 110 riders a year, with a maximum capacity of 135 riders,â€? Oppelt said. â€œWe raise around $330,000 each year.â€?

Seniors must be their own health care advocates My dictionary defines an “advoGuest cate� as a supportcolumn er, defender, and intercessor; some... by Bob one who pleads on behalf of someone Ramsey or some cause. We all need an advocate like this sometime to stand up and speak up for us — especially when dealing with today’s complex, confusing and convoluted health care system. There are situations when we need a defender to help get the care we need, navigate today’s Medicare maze, make our wishes known, get answers and keep the health care professionals honest. Doctors, nurses and other medical personnel are usually competent professionals. But they are also human beings — flesh and blood — fallible. They get tired, distracted, worried and sloppy — just like the rest of us. They make mis-

takes: • Like the time my wife received the results of someone else’s sleep study. That not only violated the other patient’s privacy; it could have been harmful if we had acted on this other patient’s diagnosis and treatment plan. Fortunately, my wife was paying attention and caught the mistake. • Or another incident when an inattentive technician overlooked a metal bolt in a patient’s pocket as she readied to undergo an MRI. If undetected, the magnetic force inside the MRI machine could have propelled the bolt right through her body. Scary! • Or the time a patient had completed treatment in the ER, but was left waiting an hour for a physician to sign the release form. Eventually, the patient signed an AMA (Against Medical Ad-

vice) form and walked out. At times like these, someone needs to set the record straight, point out mistakes and keep medical personnel attentive and accountable. Who’s the best person for the job? Who can best represent your rights, interests and care preferences? You can! You are your own most effective advocate. You care the most. You know your body better than anyone. You also know what you don’t know and need to know. You are best qualified to speak up for yourself. This doesn’t mean you should take over and tell the doctor what to do or what to prescribe. Some seniors think they can check the Internet and read the latest health magazines and they’re amateur doctors. They’re not. As Mark Twain observed, “Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint.� Health care isn’t adversarial. It’s a partnership. You hold up your end of

the bargain simply by advocating for yourself. Advocates aren’t surrogate physicians; but they are the voice of the patient in the treatment dialogue. Make your voice count. Of course, it’s also wise to have someone you trust accompany you to important doctors’ appointments to help you decipher and understand today’s medical mumbo-jumbo. They provide an extra set of eyes and ears. But the final responsibility for making your symptoms concerns feelings and fears known is yours. We all want doctors to listen to us. But they can’t listen if we don’t speak up. In the modern collaborative health care process, don’t be a silent partner. Instead, become an advocate—for yourself.

I’ve been singing since I was a kid. I always thought singing and dancing would keep you young. I didn’t want aerobics. So, I got some tap shoes because I wanted to have fun and keep in shape.� “I’ve always worked, too,� said Hed, who added, “I’ve got a great husband who understands all that. He golfs and fishes.� Hed calls the Edina-based Rockettes group The Final Joanne Hed of St. Louis Park; and Mare Saffe of St. Louis Park. (Submitted photo) Four.

Lightning banks on Bryan for points, assists, leadership Augustana-bound guard becomes one of SSC’s top players by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Eastview’s boys basketball program wants to get back to where it was a few years ago – consistently in the race for conference and section championships. To do that, senior guard Jameson Bryan said, the Lightning had to get tougher, mentally and physically. The result? Four consecutive victories after a 2-4 start, and a 3-1 South Suburban Conference record going into this week’s action. That put the Lightning in a tie for second place in the league. Eastview will find out soon enough if it’s a contender in the league because two of its next three games are against Lakeville North and Apple Valley, two top10 teams in Class 4A. Bryan, a four-year starter, two-year captain and the Lightning’s career assist leader, said the light bulb went on not during a victory, but during a loss. “It was our game against Minneapolis Southwest at Augsburg,” Bryan recalled, referring to a holiday tournament game Dec. 29 that Eastview lost 69-66. “That game got physical, and we didn’t respond well. It showed us we needed to be more physical if we wanted to win.” Victories over Centennial, Farmington, Shakopee and Eagan followed.

Eastview guard Jameson Bryan surveys the court during the Lightning’s 49-38 victory at Eagan last Friday. (Photo by Mike Shaughnessy) Eastview’s resolve was tested in last Friday’s 4938 victory over Eagan. Both teams struggled to run their offenses. Eastview had just six two-point field goals the whole game (the Lightning did make six three-pointers, however). Because of the game’s physical nature, Eastview players marched to the free-throw line for 34 attempts, but made only 19. But the Lightning toughened up on defense, holding the Wildcats (38, 0-4) to 13 second-half points. “I think it’s important to know we can win a game like this,” said

Bryan, who had 13 points and seven rebounds. Bryan will be in the middle of whatever the Lightning accomplishes this year because he’s one of the South Suburban Conference’s top players. In addition to his duties running the Lightning offense, he’s now the league’s fourth-leading scorer with a 19.3 average. Bryan and senior guard Mason Carpenter were the only two returning players who averaged more than two points a game last season. Carpenter is averaging 15.2 points. Senior guard Brady Miller

averages 12.8 and scored a game-high 14 against Eagan. Although it was a given that Bryan was expected to score more, “what we were looking for from him was leadership,” Eastview coach Paul Goetz said. “He’s been on our varsity for four years, he’s played against all of the good guards in our conference, and he knows what we need to do to be successful. We wanted him to set an example, and he’s done that.” Bryan certainly doesn’t mind being asked to score more, but added, “I think I’m a distributor. I’d like to think I can play whatever way the team needs me to play.” Although not big (5foot-10, 160 pounds), Bryan has handled playing in one of Minnesota’s toughest conferences. He also played high-level AAU basketball with the Minnesota Warriors, a team that also had Carpenter and Rosemount forwards Alec and Luke Loehr. Defending NCAA Division II national champion Augustana noticed Bryan’s versatility and offered him a scholarship. Bryan signed with the school Nov. 9, the first day of the early signing period. “I really liked everything about the school,” said Bryan, a National Honor Society member. “I like their style of play. I think I can fit in there, and the team really seemed like a family to me.” When Bryan gets to Augustana in the fall, it won’t be the first time coach Tom Billeter has worked with a member of

the Bryan family. When Billeter coached at North Dakota State, Jameson’s father John was a student assistant coach. But first Bryan would like to help Eastview be a factor in the conference and make a run in the section playoffs. Eastview has not won a postseason game since 2012, the last time the Lightning reached the state tourna-

ment. “The teams we played had a lot to do with the start we had,” Goetz said. “We played Eden Prairie, Chaska, Hopkins – a really tough schedule. And our kids were in all of those games. It’s been a really fun group to coach.” Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

District 194 School Board plans to resolve differences Facilitator will be hired to help process by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

After several tensionfilled, high-profile meetings and public arguments among Lakeville Area School Board members, the board has agreed to hire a facilitator to help them work out their differences. The unanimous decision was quickly reached at the end of the board’s Jan. 17 work session. Board Chair Michelle Volk

suggested they hold a study session to brainstorm ways to address transparency concerns recently raised by board members Judy Keliher and Kathy Lewis. Keliher suggested a facilitator could help them build and restore trust with the public. Volk said she has heard from constituents who support the idea. She suggested holding the meeting in a closed session so board members could freely share their differences, but ultimately all agreed with Board Vice Chair Terry Lind to keep the meeting open and rely on the facilitator to determine how to

proceed. Keliher said the open meeting should concentrate on roles and responsibilities and not get into personality differences. Board members agreed to keep costs low, and noted addressing their problems is a proactive step that would help as the district is starting a superintendent search to replace Lisa Snyder who unexpectedly submitted her June 30 resignation in November. The meeting with a facilitator is tentatively planned to occur in March. Laura Adelmann is at laura. adelmann@ecm-inc.com.

Lightning senior Rachel Ranke scored 26 points as her team improved to 13-2 overall and 7-0 in the league. The Lightning plays host to secondplace Lakeville North on Thursday night. Lakeville North is 13-2 overall and 6-1 in the league after beating Farmington 66-38 on Tuesday behind 14 points from Ke James, 13 from Temi Carda and 12 from Caitlyn Peterson. Apple Valley (12-2, 5-1) defeated Lakeville South 66-58 on Tuesday. Guards Erin Baxter (23 points) and Lyndsey Robson (21) were the Eagles’ scoring leaders.

veit of Lakeville North finished third. Burnsville had three skiers in the top six and was first in girls team scoring based on individual sprints. In the two-skier team division, Eastview and Lakeville South tied for first, with Eastview winning the tiebreaker. Eagan skiers Ryan Steger and Patrick Acton were first and second in the boys individual competition. Tyler Haroldson of Lakeville South and Nathaniel Blichfeldt of Burnsville were third and fourth. Eagan swept the top three places in the team event, with Ryan Conroy and Acton taking first, Steger and Dylan Schuller finishing second and Max Marshall and Jack Martin taking third. The top non-Eagan team was Lakeville South’s Ben Barry and Haroldson, who were fourth. The Wildcats were first in the school standings for individual and team sprints. Burnsville was second in the individual sprint standings, while Prior Lake was second in the team sprint standings.

Eagan continued its strong showing in South Suburban Conference boys Nordic skiing, while Burnsville had the top two individuals in the girls race at an SSC sprint meet Saturday at Valleywood Golf Course. Snow conditions forced the course to be shortened and the meet format to be changed, but that didn’t prevent Burnsville’s Kelly Koch and Krista Holmstrom from moving to the front in the girls meet. Koch won the individual sprint competition, with Holmstrom second. Lakeville South skiers Brianne Brewster and Violet Tessier were third and fourth, and Eastview’s Ana Brakke completed the top five.

Temporary cold weather shelter open A temporary cold weather crisis shelter is now open in Dakota County to serve people without safe shelter during the severe winter weather. Access to resources and a safe place to stay are available to single adults, youth, and families at Easter Lutheran by the Lake, located at 4545 Pilot Knob Road in Eagan, until Jan. 20. Rides may be available for guests in need, and guests are not required to leave during daytime hours. Churches in Dakota County have provided shelter to over 50 residents, ages 8 months to 71 years, since December. These churches include Grace Lutheran and Spirit of Life Presbyterian in Apple Valley, and Prince of Peace in Burnsville. Since opening in Eagan at Easter Lutheran by the Lake on Friday, Jan. 6, the shelter has served 30 people ranging in age from 18 months to 68 years. About 30 percent of the people at the shelter are living in their vehicles. Commonly, they will heat up their car, turn it off, and fall asleep. When the cold wakes them, they heat up the car, turn it off, and repeat throughout the night. “With snow and freezing rain in the forecast, we encourage anyone seeking shelter to come inside, get a meal, sleep, and stay

safe. Our doors are open 24 hours a day until Jan. 20,� said Rhonda Doran, Easter’s director of outreach. The residents’ need for shelter will persist beyond this upcoming week. Access to safety, connections, basic necessities, and help obtaining housing are critical year round. Demand for the crisis shelter’s services highlights the growing need for a permanent shelter in Dakota County, Minnesota’s third most populous county. “Homelessness is often more hidden in suburbs than in urban areas,� said advocate Monica Nilsson. “You don’t often see panhandlers or individuals that you would necessarily identify as being in need of shelter.� A 2015 study by Wilder Research found that approximately one-third of Minnesotans without homes live in suburban areas. Young people age 24 or younger are the most likely to be homeless. The Dakota County Emergency Shelter Project is currently seeking space to develop a permanent shelter. Financial donations are needed to help continue the crisis shelter’s operations, and to assist with the efforts toward a long-term solution. To make a donation, a GoFundMe page has been set up at gofundme.com/dakcountyshelter.

SUN THISWEEK - Apple Valley January 20, 2017 15A

LEWIS, from 1A lawmaker, much less a freshman, doesn’t get to run their own show. “There are 435 Type A persons in the House of Representatives,� he said. “The idea that one of them is going to go there and get their way on everything is ludicrous on its face.�

The to-do list Lewis is not only just one of 435 members of the House, but one of 50some freshmen. A vote is just about all that most first-term members have: they must spend years putting in the political grunt work and forging the connections needed to wield any actual clout on Capitol Hill. It’s early, but Lewis is off to a decent start, and could have more influence than the average freshman in tackling the policy items that he and his party are prioritizing right now — namely, the Affordable Care Act. On Jan. 10, Lewis was named to the House Budget Committee — “prestigious,� per his office’s press release — which will play a key role in crafting the GOP’s plan to repeal Obamacare. (No other Minnesotan representative serves on that panel.) Because of the GOP’s wins in November, that prospect is a reality now, not a pipe dream. The committee assignment is a good fit for Lewis, who made health care issues a central element of his winning campaign, and is clearly at home talking about free-market

reforms to the system. Though he’s a zealous opponent of the law, Lewis is echoing some of his GOP colleagues in urging caution and patience in proceeding with the ACA repeal. “We’re not going to do this the way Democrats did it Christmas Eve 2009 and March of 2010 when they crammed this thing through,� he said. “We are going to start the process, we’re going to start in the Budget Committee, we’re going to move on that and we’re going to repeal and replace.� Lewis endorsed the idea, advanced by most GOP leaders, of phasing out what he called the ACA’s most onerous elements through the process of budget reconciliation, and then setting up a transition period to replace the law. “We’re going to do it right so we have a health care reform process that makes health care both more affordable and portable.� (A more portable health care plan means certain benefits may be enjoyed regardless of an individual’s job change or retirement.) Another key agenda item for Republicans, and a favorite topic for the libertarian-minded Lewis, is easing government regulations across the board. In the first days of Congress, the House GOP approved a bill requiring Congress to sign off on significant federal agency regulations within 70 days, a measure Lewis strongly backed. Other regulations the Republican hopes to target include the Waters of

very conservative agenda, and frequently clash with GOP leadership. (Mulvaney is a prominent member of the Freedom Caucus.) Now, he says he will not join that group, saying it is important for the district that he remain independent. That perception of independence will be politically important for Lewis, too. The 2nd District is hardly deep red: it has voted for Republicans and Democrats for different offices in the past, and leans Republican by just two points, according to the Cook Partisan Voter Index. Lewis’ seat won’t be defended easily: in the 2018 midterm, he will be a top target for Democrats. Soon, party organizations like the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee will begin hammering him on key votes. Lewis isn’t worried about that, citing his win in November. “We did it once, I’m confident we’ll do it again,� he said. As for now, Lewis is looking forward to his new job. “You talk about this stuff for 25 years, now I get a chance to vote on it,� he said. “You can talk until you’re blue in the face. Now I get to cast a vote. That’s nice. I like that.� MinnPost is a nonprofit, member-supported news site that provides highquality journalism for people who care about Minnesota.

Communications tower lights up Eagan skyline City approves new lighting policy by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Eagan residents may have noticed something new illuminating the skyline last month when a newly built telecommunications tower was turned on. The Sperry telecommunications tower was built last year near Interstate 35E off Pilot Knob Road. It’s replacing a water tower, which didn’t hold water for about seven years before it was demolished in May 2016. Eagan Public Works Director Russ Matthys said as water treatment plants have been built over the years, water towers have been made obsolete and expensive to maintain. But, the water tower still had a purpose as a home to several antennas used by both the city and the county as well as cellular carriers. “We still had a use for an elevated structure of some sort, but we didn’t want to pay $1-$1.5 million to renovate,” Matthys said. “So we put up a structure that had more of a 50-year lifespan that would actually provide a better capacity and service ability for antennas for the city and county and the customers.” The 198-foot freestanding communication structure will be paid for by leasing antenna space to private companies which provide ser-

vices such as voice, data and streaming along with EMS radio coverage. The telecommunications tower will also double as a public art display for the city. The tower features 5,448 LED light bulbs within 118 lighting figures, which can create an indefinite range of colors. “I think the reactions to it have been overwhelmingly positive,” Eagan Communications Director Tom Garrison said. “Folks used to tell us when the old Sperry tower was there, when people approached Eagan, that was a way for them to guide themselves in.” The city can control the colors to remain constant or consistently change to create images and shapes that can appear to move. The Eagan City Council approved a lighting policy after staff reviewed existing public and private lighting policies. In November, the City Council agreed to a limited proposal so it could be turned on for the holidays. It had a special display for ringing in the New Year. Its default color is green, but it will reflect special occasions, city holidays and other special days. For instance, on Valentine’s Day, the tower could feature hearts and for St. Patrick’s Day it could have green shamrocks. It could be red, white and blue to honor Independence Day, Flag Day, and the 9/11 anniversary, The city plans to highlight holidays and other noteworthy events and ac-

Gophers bring Simon back home by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

One of the additions to University of Minnesota football coach P.J. Fleck’s staff brings a Farmington native back to his home state. Matt Simon, a Farmington High School graduate and All-State football player for the Tigers, will be the Gophers’ wide receivers coach. He held the same position at Western Michigan the last three

years and helped the Broncos to a 13-1 record and Cotton Bowl invitation last year. On Friday, Simon tweeted (@CoachMGSimon), “Damn proud to be a Gopher.” To Western Michigan fans, he said, “To the players, WMU, and the entire community of Kalamazoo thank you for an unbelievable 3 years. You will never be forgotten.” Simon was the position coach of Corey Davis, who is projected as a first-round

selection in the 2017 NFL Draft. Davis had 97 receptions for 1,500 yards and 19 touchdowns for Western Michigan in 2016. A 2004 Farmington High School graduate, Simon was a two-way player (receiver and safety) for a Tigers team that went 11-2 and reached the state Class 4A semifinals in 2003. He caught 52 passes for 1,000 yards and 13 touchdowns as a senior, and also had 55 tackles, two fumble recoveries and an interception.

He was named All-State and All-Missota Conference. Simon also played basketball and baseball for Farmington. Simon, 31, played at Northern Illinois University, where over four seasons he caught 96 passes for 1,660 yards and eight touchdowns. Fleck was Simon’s position coach at NIU, and former Minnesota head coach Jerry Kill was the Huskies’ head coach in Simon’s final season.

Residents and City Council members wrestled Jan. 17 with a neighborhood request to narrow a portion of Crystal Lake Road East in Burnsville. A majority of Crystal Lake Road homeowners between Lac Lavon Drive and Chicago Avenue want that segment narrowed to slow traffic and give it more of a neighborhood scale. Crystal Lake Road is part of a larger street reclamation project scheduled in the area this year. Supporters of narrowing said in a petition they’re willing to pay higher assessments for a more extensive reconstruction project that would be needed to narrow the road from 44 feet to 33. About 75 percent of Crystal Lake Road residents signed the petition, according to a city staff report, but support has since shrunk to a smaller majority. Three signers said during a public hearing they’ve switched positions. A council majority agreed to further explore narrowing. A resolution is expected to come before the council Feb. 7, but any action could be undone later when bids are advertised and awarded. Full reconstruction would cost the owner of a typical 90-foot lot $2,850 instead of the $1,575 assessment for reclamation, which city staff originally proposed. Reconstruction would add about $110,000 to the share of the street project covered by all Burnsville taxpayers, according to City Engineer Ryan Peterson. “From my standpoint, I just can’t justify the city cost,” said Council Member Bill Coughlin, the lone member to declare a position. The road segment is wider than the standard 31-foot neighborhood street width. Crystal Lake Road functioned as a collector street before Southcross Drive and Lac Lavon Drive were extended, ac-

cording to the city. The road segment accommodates about 600 vehicles a day — a “fairly low level of traffic for a local street,” the staff report said. Most of the pro-narrowing homeowners are on the south side of the road with properties that abut Crystal Lake. Most opponents or non-signers of the petition are on the north side, though two are on the south. “I started (the petition) because for 31 years I’ve hated living on that wide street,” said Scott Seiberlich, 913 Crystal Lake Road E. Cars go too fast, the road “feels like a highway” and he feared for his children’s safety when they were small, Seiberlich said. “We lost a few pets in the street,” said his wife, Susan. The speed problems have improved since the family first moved in, but the “aesthetic neighborhood feeling” is lost with such a wide street, she said. “I feel the street is safe,” she said. “I don’t like the look of it.” Randall Ross, 1116 Crystal Lake Road E., said he signed the petition in hopes of calming traffic but has changed his mind. “The additional expense, I was kind of blown away,” Ross said. The sidewalk on the north side is a problem for those homeowners because it would end up bisecting their front yards and leaving a larger boulevard, while south-side homeowners would essentially get yard extensions, said Mark Lund, 1024 Crystal Lake Road E., another signer who recanted. But Public Works Director Steve Albrecht said he’d recommend relocating the sidewalk closer to the street if it were widened. Assessments for that project are estimated at up to $900 for a 90-foot lot. Perhaps, as a goodwill gesture, south-side homeowners could share that assessment since they support the narrowing, Peterson said. But adding sidewalk relocation to the total cost didn’t sit well with Gary Dahnke, 1100 Crystal Lake Road E., another petition signer who recanted. “It just seems like the more and more we talk about this, the more and more it’s going to cost us,” he said. Narrowing and not narrowing the street each have pros and cons, the staff report said. Narrower neighborhood streets are generally safer for drivers and pedestrians, narrowing would add green space and require less chemical treatment of snow and ice, and future roadway improvements would be less expensive, the report said, adding that narrowing is the majority position. Keeping the current width would be less expensive and maintain a “de facto shoulder/bike trail,” the report said. There are no known safety hazards on the road segment. The city could use striping to reduce the lane width, which is more cost-effective than removing curbing. Also, removing curb and gutter that’s in good shape could be considered wasteful. Staff will prepare a resolution using bid alternatives for both narrowing and keeping the current width. Albrecht said staff will re-engage with residents on the sidewalk option. Bid advertisements for the city’s 2017 street projects are scheduled for March, with the council awarding bids in April.

Verlon Harry Anderson (November 7, 1919 - January 11, 2017) Verlon Harry Anderson age 97 of Apple Valley passed away January 11, 2017. An incredible life has ended, but will never be forgotten. Verlon Anderson, otherwise known as Andy, was born on Nov. 7, 1919 in Sac City, IA. The family farm where he grew up was his home and workplace for 84 years. After serving in the Navy during World War II, Andy returned to the farm. He married Wilma Cates on May 26, 1946 on the front lawn of the farmstead where they raised 3 children as well as corn, beans and livestock. In 1970, they purchased a cabin on Big Jessie Lake in northern Minnesota. This retreat provided numerous adventures, on and off the water, for the entire family. After the death of his beloved wife, Andy remained on the farm harvesting hickory nuts and black walnuts by hand and sharing them with the world. In 2003 he and his walnut-stained hands sold the farmstead and purchased a home in Apple Valley, MN. In that same year he began volunteering at the Minnesota Zoo Farm, where he suddenly became “Farmer Andyâ€?. Staff and guests of all ages enjoyed his winsome smile, his gentle spirit and the knowledge he shared about farm lifemixed in with laughter and FEW jokes he had gleaned along the way. After turning his yard into a miniature farm and snowshoeing hundreds of miles in the neighborhood park, Andy chose to sell his home and move into an independent living community in Burnsville. He enjoyed ÂżHOG WULSV WKH *DQJVWHU WRXU ZDV D IDYRULWH ZDONLQJ KLV two miles every day, and sharing stories and smiles with anyone who’d listen.
