Lebanon Hills Regional Park is one of the largest collections of natural resources in the south metro, but it’s also home to some unwelcome plants. As part of the 2015 Lebanon Hills Regional Park Master Plan, several restorations projects will begin in 2017. Many of them are already underway to restore about 340 acres of prairie and woodland and manage about 700 acres of invasive species such as buckthorn, according to Dakota County Parks Director Steve Sullivan. In its place, the park will be adding about 1,500 more appropriate and welcome trees. Sullivan said Lebanon Hills is an oasis in terms of natural resources and its health is key to the 500,000 people who visit the park every year.

The park features acres of prairies and woodlands along with more than 100 ponds, lakes and wetlands, which have suffered to some degree. “The ecological health of the woods, the prairies and the habitat will all be better off once the project is compete,” Sullivan said. Buckthorn is particularly damaging to the landscape in Minnesota. It was introduced as a decorative plant decades ago, but it’s not native to Minnesota. “They began to spread through seeds being scattered via wildlife and birds,” Sullivan said. “What they’ve done is decrease the diversity of plants and the result has been a poorer habitat. It’s taken away plants on the forest floor, which increases runoff into the water.” He said buckthorn has also been choking out the oak trees in the area, so it has to go. The total cost of the restora-

A male guest at the temporary homeless shelter hosted by Apple Valley’s Grace Lutheran Church in December has been charged with criminal sexual conduct in connection with an incident there. According to the criminal complaint, Mark D. Frederickson, 54, allegedly approached two women who had gone outside the church to have a cigarette the night of Dec. 16 and engaged in nonconsensual, inappropriate touching with one of them. The other woman alleged Frederickson had made a lewd gesture and said he wanted to “goose” her.

Winter fun is in store next weekend at Apple Valley’s MidWinter Fest. The annual celebration hosted by the city’s Parks and Recreation Department features family activities from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 4, at the Apple Valley Community Center in Hayes Park. Admission is free. The community center will take on a carnival atmosphere during

the festival with a DJ dance party for kids, face painting, balloon animals, and an inflatable bounce house. Also planned are a community bonfire, horse-drawn wagon rides and an ice-carving demo of the Mid-Winter Fest logo. The medallion hunt, a perennial festival favorite, returns this year for teams of sleuths to search out a medallion in one of the city’s many parks. Clues will be posted at the community center starting at 9 a.m. the day of the festival, with a $250 prize for the finder of

the medallion. In the gyms at the community center, there will be booths hosted by community groups with crafts, games and giveaways, a “Scouting Adventure Zone” hosted by local Boy Scouts, and youth soccer hosted by Valley United Soccer Club. An adult cribbage tournament will start at 2 p.m. with signup at the community center’s front desk. While admission is free to the festival, there will be a charge for

concessions as well as the kids pizza lunch with city mascot Klondike, which costs $5. More information, including registration details for the festival’s adult athletic tournaments, is on the city’s website at www.cityofapplevalley.org. Mid-Winter Fest was started in 1978 with only a few activities and about 100 participants its first year, according to city officials. The festival grew steadily over the years, peaking with about 5,000 participants in the early 1990s.

God and Oprah helped motivational speaker overcome by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Business is looking up for speaker, author and life coach Annie Meehan. Based on current bookings, she expects four times more speaking engagements this year than in 2016. Things always seem to be looking up for Meehan, perhaps because she fell so far during her turbulent, precarious upbringing. Or maybe it’s because she always found a way to force her sights higher. For that she credits God, family and Oprah Winfrey. Last year Meehan, of Burnsville, published “Be the Exception: Your 7 Steps to Transformation,� and later a Bible study companion guide to the book. A member of the National Speakers Association, she speaks primarily to educators, social workers and health care providers. She and husband Greg own a Snap Fitness Center in Lilydale, enhancing her knowledge of wellness topics. “Sometimes people get confused: ‘What does Annie really do?’ � said Meehan, whose inspirational talks come with or

without Scripture, depending on her audience. “But really my sweet spot where I’m the best is as a keynote speaker to open or close a conference where they want some inspiration and motivation.� One of seven children, she lived as a young child in Champaign, Ill. Her father was an “abusive, transient alcoholic,� Meehan said. “My mom left him when I was 7, but he lived down the road from us in Illinois and he did eventually drink himself to death,� she said. After a house fire when Meehan was 11, she and four of the children came to Crystal to live with their mother’s sister. But the aunt wouldn’t take the entire family, Meehan said, setting off rounds of homelessness. Her mother, unable to cope with seven children in the house, would “periodically, somewhat consistently, kick all of us out or one or two of us out,� Meehan said. Her mother also had a hoarding problem, “and because of that, we never were able to stay too long anyplace,� Meehan said. Her mother’s hysterectomy prompted another expulsion of the kids, she said.

volunteer in District 191 and worked for a couple of years as a “lunch lady� at district elementary schools. A decade ago, while a church volunteer who led the youth and senior ministries at Prince of Peace Lutheran in Burnsville, Meehan began fielding speaking requests after people had heard her story. She published her first book, “Paths, Detours & Possibilities: A Journal to Map Out Your Legacy� in 2013. That year she was certified as a life coach by the Learning Journals International Center of Coaching. Her longtime memoir-inprogress, whose working title was “Dumpster to Dynasty,� became “Be the Exception� after a publisher heard her speak and convinced her to write the book. “I’ve overcome a lot,� Meehan said. “But first I give credit to God. And second, I’m surrounded with an amazing support system.� Her website is at anniemeehan.com. John Gessner can be reached at (952) 846-2031 or email john.gessner@ecm-inc.com.

Senior housing project moves forward Plans for an affordable senior-housing development at Cedar Avenue and 140th Street in Apple Valley are moving ahead, with construction getting underway earlier this month. Minneapolis-based developer Dominium closed on the property in late December and broke ground for the construction Jan. 5. Construction is scheduled for completion in spring 2018, according to Dominium. Legends of Apple Valley — formerly called Valley Bluffs Senior

Apartments — will be a four-story, 163-unit apartment building on the southwest corner of Cedar and 140th, at 14050 Granite Ave. Plans submitted to the city show an exterior of brick, stone, Hardie-board and glass. Planned interior amenities include a hair salon, fitness room, theater area and community room. The complex will include both underground and surface parking, as well as a large outdoor elevated deck with grills.

“Dominium is committed to providing quality housing that meets the needs of seniors who want to stay in the community,� Mike Hudson, development staff associate at Dominium, said in a press release. “This is a great area and the proposed project will be mutually beneficial to the city, neighborhood and community.� The Apple Valley City Council approved the final plat and development agreement for the project in July 2016. —Andrew Miller

Opinion Considering possibilities of the new year by Don Heinzman SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

So, what can we look for in 2017 in the Twin Cities metro area and the state? Many Minnesotans are on the Donald Trump bandwagon as evidenced by the surprisingly close vote in the presidential election. Legislators at all levels will try to figure out why Minnesotans are so upset and divided in a state that enjoys a state surplus and low unemployment. Republicans took over the state House and the Senate, and that portends a contentious 2017 Minnesota legislative session. A lot will depend on the policies and decisions of the new Trump administration, since certain governmental aids are vital to the state’s interests. Of critical importance will be the federal aid to health care through the Affordable Care Act. It has provided

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Don Heinzman record health insurance to Minnesotans and more health care by expanding eligibility for Medicaid. If Obamacare is repealed, which won’t happen overnight, MNsure insurers will not be able to offer tax credits to reduce health insurance premiums. A Republican-dominated Minnesota Legislature will aim to either eliminate MNsure or reduce its power, going against the governor who favors repairing but not eliminating it. Lost in the debate over the merits of MNsure is the fact that health insurance companies are increasing rates to

keep up with the rising costs of private health care providers. Those costs will continue to rise next year. The state’s costly human resource expenses will likely increase, primarily to address health care for the growing number of elderly who are living longer. There is hope a Republican Legislature will continue to see the importance of this department. This legislative session may be testy, as Gov. Mark Dayton battles with feisty Republicans who are anxious to unravel some of Dayton’s initiatives, particularly on health care and how to spend the budget surplus. Certainly the two sides will do something to fund fixing roads and bridges. Because of the political battle between Republicans and the governor, Dayton may not get his proposed expansion of a prekindergarten program, even though research is clear on how this program benefits children who can learn at an earlier age.

There will be changes in how prisoners are treated in the state’s prisons, as exposed by the media. Likewise, there will be increased funding so patients have better treatment in the state’s mental health hospitals. Look for some wrangling over the Metropolitan Council’s powers and the controversial metro transportation tax; and with a Republican-controlled Legislature, those powers, particularly how the council is appointed, could be changed. The council, however, has stood the test of time and there is no public clamor to change it. Looking into the 2017 crystal ball, if the public settles down it will discover that the country is not going to pieces. This year could be better than it may first appear.

Don’t fear the impact of Real ID legislation by Peter Nelson SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

I must admit I took pride in the fact that Minnesota was among the last holdouts in passing a seat belt requirement when the federal government demanded states pass such a law or risk losing federal transportation dollars. Likewise, I must admit to taking some pride in Minnesota being among the last holdouts for passing Real ID. State sovereignty is regularly undermined by federal laws that legislate on matters traditionally within the sphere of state power. Indeed, federal officials too often forget that the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution reserves the powers to the states that are not specifically delegated to the federal government by the Constitution. So, it’s always refreshing to see a state push back against federal overreach. All that said, it’s time for Minnesota to pass Real ID legislation. In response to the 9/11 terror attacks, the federal government passed the Real ID Act in 2005 to improve security of airline travel and access to federal buildings by establishing stricter verification and security measures for IDs used to access these facilities. Because state driver’s licenses are now used for such purposes, the law requires

Peter Nelson state driver’s licenses to comply with the stricter standards if a state wants to enable their residents to use their licenses to fly and enter federal facilities. Currently, there’s push back coming from both the left and right against Minnesota complying with Real ID. The left worries about how Real ID will impact undocumented immigrants access to a driver’s license. From the right, Real ID is an unconstitutional mandate outside the federal government’s enumerated federal powers that creates a national ID with serious impacts on privacy. The left’s argument doesn’t appear to hold water. According to the Star Tribune editorial board, “A state administrative rule now bans issuing driver’s licenses to undocumented immigrants. The House Real ID bill would put that ban in statute, so that legislative action would be required to remove it.” Thus, the bill doesn’t change anything. It just requires future legislative action to make any change to the ad-

ministrative rule, which should have been a requirement to granting licenses to undocumented immigrants in the first place. Constitutional objections also don’t hold water. Real ID is of a different character from other federal intrusions into the affairs of state governments. This does not involve the federal government bribing states to pass a law or risk losing federal funds and it is not the federal government simply taking over an area of traditional state concern. Instead, Real ID is law that regulates access to federal facilities and interstate commerce. While the U.S. Constitution’s Commerce Clause has long been abused to justify federal overreach — starting with the U.S. Supreme Court’s approval of federal regulation of wheat production in Wickard v. Filburn in 1942 — the regulation of air travel between the states is a clear example of the interstate commerce that the federal government is empowered to regulate under the Constitution. Imagine multiple states requiring varying types of IDs for air travel. Compliance would be maddening for U.S. citizens. Privacy is the most reasonable objection. Without getting into the nuances of the privacy argument, the Real ID legislation moving through the Minne-

sota House and the Senate creates two tracks of driver’s licenses — one that complies with Real ID and one that does not. Thus, anyone with privacy concerns can opt out. This is an entirely reasonable compromise. Whatever you might think of the privacy problems with a national ID, the Real ID Act is the law of the land and well within the constitutional powers of the federal government. As such, privacy concerns should be taken to Minnesota’s federal delegation. The state’s implementation of Real ID is really about guaranteeing convenient air travel for Minnesota residents. The federal government is not mandating the state do anything. It’s just saying Minnesota driver’s licenses won’t be valid for air travel in 2018. Not complying with Real ID will require any Minnesotan that wants to fly to get a special federal ID. It also risks imposing severe confusion on travelers when they try to fly and either forget their federal ID or never got one in the first place. To help Minnesota travelers, it’s now past time for state lawmakers to pass Real ID. Peter Nelson is vice president and senior policy fellow at Center of the American Experiment.

Letters Corrections A news story last week incorrectly reported two past recipients benefiting from annual fundraisers organized by Larry and Dawn Sauber had died. Jana Leigh Bell had died, not Jason Bauer. One of this year’s event sponsors, Tony Amries, is with Cub Foods not Hearth and Home Technologies as was listed in the story. The newspaper regrets the errors.

This is not normal To the editor: Several disturbing events have taken place surrounding and in the wake of President Donald Trump’s inauguration. A group of eight people, two French nationals and six Canadians, were denied entry into the U.S. when they revealed that their intent

was to attend the Women’s March in Washington, D.C., on Saturday. Border agents said that attending the march was not a valid reason to enter the United States. The Canadians were told they would be arrested if they tried again to cross during the weekend, and the two French citizens were told that they would be required to apply for a visa for any future visit to the US. France is a member of the Visa Waiver Program, which allows French citizens to enter the U.S. without a visa unless there is a pretty good reason not to allow them entry. Even if turning them away on this instance were justified (a claim that is debatable), requiring them to obtain a visa in the future because they had once tried to cross the border to attend a lawful protest is ludicrous. Six journalists were charged with felonies for

covering the inauguration protests. They are facing a $25,000 fine and up to 10 years in prison if convicted. After the National Park Service re-tweeted photos of the small inauguration crowd, the Trump administration temporarily suspended the agency’s Twitter privileges, and imposed restrictions as to what could be posted on its official social media outlets. The Trump administration has instructed the Environmental Protection agency to suspend its contract and grant programs, as well as all outgoing communication, immediately and until further notice.

To the editor: I don’t think the human race will become extinct in 2050! If the right wing people are correct and we just entered an ice age, humans will build com-

munities under the earth and wait for the earth to warm up again so they can surface. Alternately, they will build communities on the moon or Mars. If the left wing people are correct, we will eventually see the light and stop polluting so much. However, how hard we have to put on the brakes is conditioned on when we start putting them on. If we start now, we can do it more gradually. If we start in 2040, we’ll have to slam on the

brakes. It may be illegal to have personal cars! You may not believe in global warming, but no matter if you are a right or left wing person you must believe in smog. And smog is hard on everyone, especially people who have asthma. So recycle more, buy fuel-efficient cars, quit polluting streams, rivers, ponds and lakes. HARLEY HORSAGER Lakeville

Arrest made in Eagan homicide investigation The Eagan Police Department arrested a 23-year-old Brooklyn Park man following the death of a pregnant woman Tuesday afternoon in Eagan. Officers responded to a call at 2:53 p.m. from 3149 Alden Pond Lane and found Senicha Marie Lessman, 25, of Eagan, unresponsive, according to the Eagan Police Department. Police officers along with Eagan Fire and Health East paramedics attempted life sav-

ing measures, but Lessman was pronounced dead at the scene. The initial investigation revealed Lessman had been subjected to trauma and was 32 weeks pregnant. Detectives believed the death was due to a homicide. The fetus also died as a result of the homicide. The Brooklyn Park man was arrested in Mounds View, according to Dakota County Jail records.

Lakeville soldier’s hit-and-run death may go to trial Farmington man charged has long criminal history by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A Farmington man with a long history of criminal convictions will appear in Scott County court Jan. 31 to face charges in the hit-and-run death of a 24-year-old Lakeville soldier last year. Matthew Keely Hartley, 33, has been held in the Scott County Jail on $500,000 bail since his

arrest last year on three felony counts of criminal vehicular homicide. At Monday’s hearing, Hartley could accept a plea offer or choose to go to trial, which would start Feb. 6, according to court records. Mollie Mahowald of Lakeville died Sept. 25 in Elko New Market after being struck by a motorcyclist that witnesses reported was one of two who were racing while Mahowald and friends were walking down the street. Elko New Market Police records state the driver did not

stop at the scene, and continued racing after another motorcyclist who had a female passenger. The motorcyclists reportedly passed police on the way to assist Mahowald, 24. Life-saving measures were unsuccessful and Mahowald died on the scene, where she was with friends and her youngest sister. After the incident, one of Hartley’s friends told police Hartley had called him asking for help bringing a motorcycle home because he had crashed it, according to police records. Elko New Market police re-

ported they found the dirty and damaged motorcycle on property where Hartley was living hidden under a canoe. A Scott County criminal complaint stated Hartley’s driver’s license had been revoked at the time of the crash. It stated he had been convicted of a DWI in July 2016 and had another DWI charge pending. Court records show Hartley has been charged over 50 previous times with convictions or guilty pleas on offenses that include domestic abuse, violating probation and no-contact orders, DWI, driving after sus-

pension, burglary, terroristic threats, obscene or harassing phone calls, financial transaction fraud and check forgery and theft. Mahowald served as a U.S. Army mechanic while on tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. She returned home late last year, joined the Army National Guard and was attending college to become a veterinary technician. She is buried at Ft. Snelling National Cemetery.

Burnsville police officer reportedly exchanged racist texts A Burnsville police officer reportedly testified Tuesday that he exchanged racist texts with a Lakeville man on trial for felony assault and riot charges in the Nov. 23, 2015, shooting of five Black Lives Matter protesters. According to the Star Tribune, the exchanges were between officer Brett Levin and Allen “Lance� Scarsella, 24, who allegedly fired eight shots

into the crowd at a Minneapolis protest, injuring five AfricanAmerican men. The Star Tribune reported Tuesday that Levin said he had been friends with Scarsella since high school. Levin said that in 2015, Scarsella frequently sent him “racially charged� text messages that were “negative about black people,� the paper reported. Asked if he replied with

similar texts, Levin said he has, the paper reported. “How we were talking was more along the lines of locker room talk,� Levin reportedly testified. The Star Tribune reported that Levin declined to comment after his testimony. It said Burnsville Police Chief Eric Gieseke said it would be inappropriate to comment on testimony in

a pending case. Levin has been with the department since May and has no formal complaints against him, Gieseke reportedly said. Levin had been with the Mankato Police Department. The protest at an encampment outside a Minneapolis police precinct followed the police shooting death of Jamar Clark, an unarmed black man. Scarsella’s defense team is ar-

guing that he shot in self-defense against an onrushing group of protesters, the Star Tribune reported. Three other men who were with Scarsella that night are charged with second-degree riot and aiding an offender. They include Joseph Backman, 28, of Eagan. — John Gessner

CHARGE, from 1A

Project has announced plans to find a long-term site to shelter the homeless and is looking at churches and other buildings in northern Dakota County. Rechtzigel said the alleged sexual misconduct at Grace Lutheran underscores the publicsafety issues that would come

with a homeless shelter operating in the area. “Running a homeless shelter can be problematic because you draw people from all over the metro and some of them have criminal backgrounds, addiction issues and/or mental illness,� he said in an email. “This

poses a public safety concern and can have a negative impact on the community.� Frederickson, who has been charged with gross-misdemeanor criminal sexual conduct, faces a maximum penalty of one year in jail and a $3,000 fine if convicted.

His trial is set for Jan. 30 in Hastings. Frederickson’s city of residence is listed as South St. Paul on the criminal complaint. He was previously convicted of criminal sexual conduct in Ramsey County in May 2016.

the duration of the homeless shelter’s time there was about $3,900, all of which was footed by the city. Spirit of Life contributed funds to defray the cost of the officer at that site. The Dakota Adult Shelter

The Minnesota Supreme Court ruled on Jan. 11 in favor of the Dakota County Sheriff’s Office when it determined that the department could resume its practice of taking DNA samples from individuals arrested for certain serious crimes. The court issued a writ of prohibition that overturned a district court action in January 2016 that prevented Dakota County from collecting DNA samples — a practice the department started in 2015. “This is a good development for public safety in Dakota County,� Sheriff Tim Leslie said in a press release. “We were the first and only sheriff’s office in Minnesota to once again begin the collection of DNA samples. We believed it was the right thing to do then and it’s still the right thing to do. This is an important law which aids in the identification of individuals arrested for serious felonies who are housed within the Dakota County Jail and helps protect the safety of our communities.� During the case against

John David Emerson, then 68 of Rosemount, who was charged with seconddegree assault after a road rage incident on Jan. 15, 2016, probable cause was determined, which would have allowed the Sheriff’s Office to collect the DNA under Minnesota Statutes Section 299C.105. Emerson’s attorney claimed the DNA collection was unconstitutional, and the Dakota County District Court judge issued an order to prohibit the DNA collection. The Sheriff’s Department, Leslie and the state of Minnesota appealed the District Court’s decision all the way to the Minnesota Supreme Court. The sheriff requested that the Supreme Court issue the writ to prohibit enforcement of the district court order that precluded the collection of DNA. In 2015, the Sheriff’s Department began taking DNA samples under Minnesota law from individuals arrested and charged with certain enumerated serious offenses after a court makes a probable cause determination. The law with regard to collecting DNA samples requires some law enforce-

ment agencies to collect DNA for those who have appeared in court and have probable cause for committing the offenses of murder, manslaughter, assault, robbery, aggravated robbery, kidnapping, false imprisonment, criminal sexual conduct, incest, burglary, or indecent exposure. Leslie and Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom said in an October 2016 release that Dakota County started collecting DNA in 2015 after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Maryland vs. King that such DNA collection was constitutional under the Fourth Amendment. Backstrom said at the time that he said the statute reviewed in the U.S. Supreme Court case was substantially similar to the Minnesota law, which was created in 2005. He issued a legal memorandum on June 10, 2015, that concluded the King decision overruled a 2006 Minnesota Court of Appeals decision that said the state’s DNA collection law was unconstitutional.

Arsonist sentenced to prison :RUOG &DQFHU 'D\ )HE

Wynn Donald Arvidson, 51, of Prior Lake, was sentenced last week to 58 months in prison by Judge Karen Asphaug in connection with a fire that damaged the Historic Eagan Town Hall in 2013, according to Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom. He was also sentenced to pay $413,027 in restitution, which includes $286,395 to Eagan, $21,895 to Eagan Fire and $104,736 to the League of Minnesota Cities. Arvidson pleaded guilty to one count of arson in the first degree in October. Arvidson’s co-defendant and brother Michael Damron, also known as Wade Arvidson, 53, of

Prior Lake, received 84 months in prison last year. “We are pleased to hold both of these defendants accountable for this premeditated crime of violence that caused significant damage to Eagan’s Historic City Hall,� Backstrom said in a release. Backstrom praised Assistant County Attorney Jennifer Bovitz, who prosecuted this case. Backstrom also thanked the Eagan Police and Fire Departments for their hard work on this case. According to the criminal complaint, the brothers were upset about a prior conviction from 2006 involving property thefts valued in excess of $250,000 from Eagan, Inver Grove Heights, Sha-

kopee, Savage, Burnsville, Lakeville, Elko, Prior Lake and Le Sueur County. The brothers unsuccessfully sued Eagan and Inver Grove Heights for $12 million because they felt the police had taken items belonging to them during the investigation. While investigating the arson in 2013, law enforcement found a fresh pile of feces, which matched Arvidson’s DNA. A search of Arvidson’s residence revealed an extensive home surveillance system, which show Damron and Arvidson leaving their residence during the time of the arson, practicing lighting fires and discussing the arson. —Andy Rogers

Man allegedly stabbed family member Authorities say a 911 report of a mental health crisis turned violent in Lakeville on Jan. 11 and resulted in police officers firing rubber bullets and employing a K-9 officer before arresting a knifewielding 19-year-old man. Adam Hunter Bistodeau, of Lakeville, has been charged with two counts of felony seconddegree assault with a dangerous weapon for allegedly assaulting a family member and female friend with a knife. According to a Jan. 19 Dakota County criminal complaint, Bistodeau allegedly said he thought he was going to kill his female friend and held a pocket knife to her neck before he awoke his parents to drive

the female friend home. His parents believed Bistodeau was acting like he was under the influence of a controlled substance, and the mother and the female left the residence and called 911 from a business. While they were away, Bistodeau allegedly began alternately hugging his father then pushing him in the chest before getting an eight-inch knife from the kitchen and attempting to stab his father. The father was reportedly stabbed multiple times in his hand before running outside where the mother was returning from calling police. An incident report from the Lakeville police say Bistodeau was located in a nearby neighborhood

after he was heard screaming in the area. Police said Bistodeau at first refused officers’ orders and they had to fire multiple less-than-lethal rounds of rubber bullets designed to stop an assailant with less chance of fatally injuring them or innocent bystanders. Bistodeau was arrested and booked into the Dakota County Jail after police used a K-9 officer to gain his compliance. Bistodeau is also charged with misdemeanor domestic assault. Each felony charge carries a maximum penalty of up to seven years in jail and/or fines from $4,200$14,000. —Laura Adelmann

Lakeville family safe after early morning fire A Lakeville family of five escaped unharmed after an early-morning fire Jan. 20 damaged part of their home on the 18700 block of Javelin Avenue. Lakeville Fire Chief Mike Meyer said the fire began in the garage after the occupants had cooked fried food in a garage Thursday night.

Meyer said a neighbor noticed the fire, warned the family, helped them escape and called authorities at around 6:45 a.m. When crews arrived on scene they found the third stall of the attached garage on fire. Meyer said the fire spread to the third floor of the house and got into the

attic space before it was extinguished. He said two bedrooms and a bathroom were affected by fire, smoke and water and the residents were not able to stay in the home. The siding on the neighbor’s home also reportedly melted from exposure to the flames. —Laura Adelmann

Valentine Cabaret at Spirit of Life

unique opportunities: • We Honor Veterans Volunteers: The volunteers provide end-of-life care for veterans while honoring their service to our country. They lead pinning ceremonies honoring veterans’ service, create patriotic pillowcases to be given to veteran patients, assist families in applying for presidential memorial certificates and assist patients with recording their stories for the veteran history project. • Do Re Mi Volunteers: These hospice volunteers provide enjoyment and relaxation by playing musical instruments and singing to patients. Volunteers do not have to be professional musicians but must audition for this role. Interested volunteers can learn more at the Hospice Talks session on Feb. 9. For questions about the event or how to sign up to volunteer, contact Janell Tibodeau at 612-728-4042 or jtibode1@fairview.org.

Medical thriller 20 years in the making by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

You never know what you’ll find when you move. When Laurie Rossin was going through old boxes while moving a few years ago, she came across about 100 pages of a book she started in the 1990s. The Eagan wife, mother and grandmother has a little more time on her hands now that she’s semiretired, so she finish her first book, “Danny’s Boy,� a medial thriller, which was self-published last summer. The first words came to her in 1996 when scientists where cloning sheep. “Everyone heard about Dolly the sheep and all this controversy about cloning back then,� Rossin said. “I thought, what would happen if there was a human clone, so I started a book. But I got busy with my career and life.� She completely set it aside until she opened that box a few years ago. Her book tells the story of a young woman, Danielle O’Neil, from rural

Iowa who attends the University of Minnesota to study journalism. There she he meets the handsome Dr. Nicholas Goodman, a scientist developing stem cell therapy to cure devastating diseases. O’Neil’s life is turned upside down when she becomes pregnant with Goodman’s child, who is no ordinary child. “It’s hard for me to know how much to tell people about the story,� Rossin said. “So much is supposed to be a surprise for the reader.� The story blends romance, loss and love with science, medical ethics and moral dilemmas. “It’s a story about an everyday person who finds herself in an unusual situation and has to find way to cope with it,� Rossin said. The technology of cloning has evolved a bit since 1996, so Rossin had to do a bit more research to make sure it was scientifically plausible. Once she picked it back up, the story wrote it self.

PHOTO, from 1A in the 2016 Nature’s Best Photography Windland Smith Rice International Awards sponsored by the Smithsonian. It’s one of about 100 photos chosen from more than 20,000 entrants for an exhibition that will remain through September. Olson, who earns his living photographing real estate, wildlife and nature, said that photographic moment was unlike any he’s experienced. The profile shot of the rustycoated fox with the white front shows her tongue framed by a row of pointed teeth, curling at the end in a perfect half-circle. The shallow depth of field from Olson’s 2.8-aperture lens creates a hazy greenish background, a canvas on which to capture the finest details of the animal’s face and mouth. “It was about 9 o’clock in the morning, so the sun hadn’t

Laurie Rossin The premise and key plot points were always there, but sometimes she would come up with a unique twist that would surprise her. Inspiration came from many places. Her mother grew up on a farm and Rossin has worked near the University of Minnesota campus for years. Her favorite authors are Edgar Allan Poe and Stephen King, and she loves Alfred Hitchcock movies. “My book is not horror, but there’s a little bit of plausibility that it could

broken the treeline yet, and it was kind of filtering through the conifer trees, kind of diffusing it and giving it kind of a subtle glow,� Olson said. “It was perfect — one of those opportunities I’ll probably never get again.� But it’s not his first hurrah. Olson, 30, won an honorable mention in the same competition in 2014 with a snowy owl shot called “Phantom of the Arctic.� Other honors stretch back to 2008. Olson’s love affair with wildlife started early. While growing up in Farmington, he worked at the A Wet Pet fish store in Apple Valley. At home, he bred saltwater fish and propagated coral. He chose to attend the School of Environmental Studies in Apple Valley instead of Rosemount High School. His first trip to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area was an SES outing. Olson took up photography at 16.

really happen,� Rossin said. She’s worked in technical writing in the past, which helped her in researching and writing the scientific aspects of the book. After submitting her book to a few agencies without much success, she ended up publishing the book on her own. “I think it’s an enjoyable book and it has merit,� Rossin said. “But getting that foot in the door was a real challenge. I decided I wanted it out there.� Since it was published, the book received positive reviews on Amazon from people she didn’t know, which was extremely gratifying. “To hear they’re intrigued and it’s a pageturner, it’s always nice to hear,� Rossin said. She said the “Danny’s Boy� works as a single story with a satisfying ending, but she’s also currently working on book two. “It’s a continuation of Danny’s story,� Rossin said. “I’m just drawn to these characters. It’s going

“My grandfather gave me my first camera about two months before he passed away, and I traded in all my hunting and fishing equipment and started bringing cameras out,� he said. “I still hunt and fish, but only for sustenance, not for sport.� After graduating in 2005, Olson started digital imaging technology studies at Dakota County Technical College before earning a biology degree, with emphases in ecology and evolution, from Bemidji State University. He then completed the DCTC degree to quality for a prestigious North American Nature Photography Association scholarship, which sent him to Jacksonville, Florida, for a weeklong photojournalism conservation project. Wildlife photography “definitely became very much a way of life and an obsession over the past 12 years,� said Olson, whose awards include a pair of

to be titled ‘Danny’s Revenge.’ � The paperback and ebook version are available on Amazon.com, and the e-book is available via Ap-

Bemidji Art in the Park honors from his college days. He worked for four years managing a photo printing company in Mendota Heights before becoming a full-time photographer in 2013. Olson works for Spacecrafting, a Minneapolisbased real estate photography company. His nature and wildlife clients have included the Crane Trust, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Wolf Ridge Environmental Learning Center and Friends of the Boundary Waters Wilderness. “I’d say about 30 percent of my income comes from wildlife photography,� said Olson, who is represented by stock photo agencies in Los Angeles and the Netherlands and also sells his work through his website, benjamin-olson.com. He has a printing and framing studio at the Burnsville home he shares

with his wife, Emily, and their 11-month-old son, Louis. Olson has a busy schedule ahead. In early March he will speak on climate change in Minnesota’s boreal forests at the Nature Photography Summit in Jacksonville. A week later he’ll head to Nebraska to shoot for the Crane Trust, which works to conserve land along the central Platte River that supports sandhill cranes. This Saturday he’s leaving for a week of photographing Canada lynx and great gray owls somewhere in Minnesota’s Arrowhead Region. “A secret spot,� Olson said. “I don’t divulge locations, to keep people from harassing animals.� John Gessner can be reached at (952) 846-2031 or email john.gessner@ecm-inc.com.

Sports Notebook: Apple Valley will hold Border Battle by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Apple Valley High School is the site of Saturday’s Border Battle, an event matching top high school boys basketball teams from Minnesota and Wisconsin. Seven games are scheduled for this year’s event, beginning at 10 a.m. and ending at 7:30 p.m. with a game between Apple Valley, ranked fifth in Class 4A, and Milwaukee Riverside, ranked 10th in Division 1, Wisconsin’s largest enrollment class.

Apple Valley coach Zach Goring said he was approached by Breakdown Sports USA, one of the organizations that sponsors the Border Battle, about holding the event at his school. “We’ve had a great relationship with them going back several years,” Goring said.

“We’ve played in their Tip-Off event, both boys and girls, and have played in the Granite City Classic for a few years. I think they’ve appreciated us coming to their events when we’ve had some high-profile players.” Among the high-profile players competing Saturday will be Milwaukee Riverside guard Terrence Lewis, who’s averaging 28 points a game and has signed with Iowa State, He will be dueling with Apple Valley junior Tre Jones, who’s averaging more than 20 points a game and is all but certain to sign with a Division I school later this year. The Lakeville North-La Cross Central game matches future University of Wisconsin teammates – North forward Nathan Reuvers, who’s averaging 27.5 points a game, and Central guard Kobe King, his school’s career scoring leader with more than 1,600 points. Lewis and King are expected to be among the front-runners for Wisconsin’s Mr. Basketball award, and Reuvers will be among the top contenders for Minnesota’s version of the award.

Compton, a 2007 Rosemount High School graduate, is a reserve offensive lineman for the Falcons, who play New England in the Super Bowl in Houston on Feb. 5. It’s the Falcons’ second appearance in the Super Bowl and first since the 1998 season.

South Suburban sports: Three-way tie in girls hoops remains intact by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Apple Valley, Eastview and Lakeville North all won Tuesday, leaving the teams tied for first place in South Suburban Conference girls basketball. All are 8-1. The logjam will be broken up at least a little Friday, when Apple Valley goes to Eastview for a 7 p.m. game. On Tuesday, Apple Valley pulled away in the second half for a 77-40 homecourt victory over Eagan. Senior guard Lyndsey Robson led Apple Valley (15-2 overall) with 22 points. Eastview defeated Rosemount for the second time this season, using a fast start in the second half in a 54-37 victory Tuesday. The game was tied 22-22 at halftime, but the Lightning (8-1, 14-3) opened the second half with a 17-5 run. Rachel Ranke led Eastview with 13 points and nine rebounds. Andrea Abrams and Megan Walstad scored 10 points each. Senior guard Maddy Olson scored 23 points to lead Rosemount (8-8, 3-5). Lakeville North kept pace with a 66-46 victory at Burnsville. Taylor Brown had 18 points and Ke James 17 for the Panthers, 15-2 overall. Emma Fee scored 17 points to lead Burnsville (5-11, 2-7).

Boys hoops: Eagles escape Farmington was on the verge of the boys basketball program’s biggest victory since joining the South Suburban Conference, but had it snatched away by Apple Valley star Tre Jones. Jones made a 15-foot jump shot at the buzzer to give the Eagles a 76-75 overtime victory at Farmington last Friday and keep them in first place in the South Suburban. The game matched two of the league’s leading scorers – Farmington guard Sam Wilson, second in the league with a 22.4 average, and Jones, who’s third at 21.7. Wilson had a gamehigh 31 points, while Jones scored 29. Although Apple Valley has played in some highprofile games against quality opponents, those often happened at neutral sites.

He played in 44 games, starting 10, for the Redskins the following three years before signing with Atlanta. “Tommy was a starter for us on our 2006 team that was our first to make it to the dome” in the state football playoffs, Rosemount coach Jeff Erdmann said. “He had a nice frame as a senior at 6-5, 260. He absolutely blossomed at South Dakota as he hit the weights and built on that frame. He was a four-year starter there. Tommy would not be where he is today without an incredible work ethic to shape his body into what he needed to be successful beyond high school football.”

North, Burnsville skiers win at Buck Hill Invite Two Eagan/Eastview boys place in top 10 by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lakeville North senior Bailey Servais and Burnsville/Shakopee senior Jack Lindsay were individual champions at the Buck Hill Invitational Alpine skiing meet Friday in Burnsville. Servais also led Lakeville North to second place in the girls varsity team competition. Approximately 125 girls raced on Friday, and Servais’ two-run time of 50.91 seconds was more than two seconds faster than the runnerup, Chloe Townsend of Edina. Servais has the fastest time on each of the two runs. Servais’ sister, Peyton, placed ninth overall in 55.37. Stillwater placed four skiers among the top 20 individuals and won the girls team championship with a 349.22 score. That’s the combined time in seconds of the Ponies’ top six finishers. Lakeville North’s second-place score was 353.66. Andrea Ray (23rd), Jane Steel (25th), Tera Cunningham (46th) and Madeline McCarthy (52nd) also counted toward the Panthers’ team score. Abigail Hahs was 71st and Elizabeth Krell placed 88th. Eagan/Eastview was eighth in the girls team competition with 394.42. Sophomore Hannah Burns

had a two-run time of 58.67 to place 22nd. Taylor Andrie (31st, 61.38) and Fiona Chow (37th, 62.76) led Burnsville to ninth place with 399.41. Tylee Schultz, a sophomore, placed 26th in 59.73 to lead Apple Valley/Rosemount, which was 14th in the girls team standings with 487.81. Lakeville South ninth-grader Ashlynn Baumgartner cracked the top 20 individuals, finishing 19th in 57.74. Seventh-grader Erin Otteson was 35th in 62.22 for the Cougars, who were 17th in the team competition. Bloomington Jefferson won the boys team championship, scoring 310.65. The Jaguars’ combined time was about three seconds faster than runner-up St. Thomas Academy. Lindsay, runner-up in last year’s state meet, took first individually in 45.80 seconds. Second was Lakeville South junior Jake Abbott, who finished in 46.48. Brandon Wentworth of Lakeville South (eighth, 47.82) and Joshua Doolittle of Eagan/Eastview (ninth, 47.87) also finished in the top 10. Eagan/Eastview senior Luke Doolittle, who finished third at the 2016 state meet, likely would have contended for the boys individual championship had he not missed a gate on his first run and lost more than 20 seconds retracing his path.

His time of 21.85 seconds on the second run was the fastest of the meet but still left him in 90th place. Eagan/Eastview was fifth in the boys team standings with 337.27. Joshua Doolittle and Izak Hofstad (10th, 48.14) placed in the top 10 for the combined team. Camden Palmquist, an eighth-grader, was 19th in 50.02. Burnsville/Shakopee was ninth in the 19-team competition, led by Lindsay’s individual championship. Jacob Allen (37th), Gavin Menning (43rd) and Zachary Logelin (50th) also placed among the top 50 individuals. Lakeville South finished 13th in the team standings. In addition to the top-10 finishes by Abbott and Wentworth, Joe Olson placed 45th for the Cougars. Two South skiers were disqualified on their second runs, costing the Cougars ground in the team standings. Jonathan Erickson was 25th in 51.97 for Apple Valley/Rosemount, which was 14th in the team competition. Lakeville North had only three skiers in the varsity boys competition and was 18th in the team standings. The Panthers’ top individual was eighth-grader Benjamin Holm, who finished 84th.

Rosemount reviews downtown development, open house set Feb. 9 by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Rosemount is reviving and revising a downtown redevelopment plan from 2004, and officials are looking for resident input. The Development Framework for Downtown Rosemount, which was created nearly 13 years ago, focuses on the area along Highway 3 (South Robert Trail) between 143rd Street and County Road 42. The city is having an open house from 6-8 p.m. Feb. 9, in Room 200 of the Steeple Center, 14375 South Robert Trail, to show current concepts and gather input on how to proceed. “Nothing is set yet, so we’re really interested in people’s ideas,� said Kim Lindquist, Rosemount community development director. It will provide a blueprint to guide the city into the future. “The goal is to present the concepts that’s been developed so far and get feedback,� Rosemount Planner Anthony Nemcek said. “They’re just ideas. The goal is to give developers an idea of what could happen downtown rather than pre-

Sheriff’s office offers citizens academy The Dakota County Sheriff’s Office is hosting its annual citizens academy 6-9 p.m. Thursdays, Feb. 16 to March 23. The six-week academy allows residents to learn about issues facing law enforcement locally and helps build insight into the philosophy and operations of the department. Topics to be covered include history of the sheriff’s office, use of force, traffic stops and searching and handcuffing procedures. Participants will also learn

scribing a specific development. We’d be happy to consider any development for the city that would fit the goals of downtown.� The city is not looking to purchase any property at this time or force any businesses to change. “There are business owners who are thriving downtown who don’t necessarily fit the appearance of downtown,� Nemcek said. “But the goal is not to move any businesses out or moving them out of downtown. The goal is to have a plan if a developer comes to town.� The market has changed dramatically since 2004, prompting the review. “We wanted to regroup and make sure we wanted to stay on track with what’s going on in the market,� Lindquist said. “Development within the whole city is starting to pick up.� City staff has been working with business owners, residents and elected officials monthly since April of last year to update the concepts. The 2004 draft led to the development of Waterford Commons, which includes 108 residential units and 13,000 square

feet of commercial space, and the transformation of St. Joseph’s Church and School into the Steeple Center and senior living facility. The plan also made way for the Robert Trail Library, which opened in 2009. It also guided the development for Culver’s Restaurant and the senior housing complex built by the Dakota County Community Development Authority. According to the 2004 document, the goal was to avoid blighted property and make downtown more attractive for development by making it more functional, walkable and flexible, while honoring the historic nature of Rosemount. Much of the commercial development at the time was happening along County Road 42, which had plenty of open land, and it was costly for companies to demolish or renovate a building downtown to suit their needs. The hope was to bring in new housing and public facilities while broadening the base of businesses. Some ideas turned out differently from the original project. A park and ride was

built by the American Legion, where the original plan called for more medium density residential property, according to Nemcek. Culver’s Restaurant and the CDA property were built on land that was designed for small commercial. The downtown has also seen businesses renovate and update their current buildings. “The Fluegel’s building is gorgeous,� Lindquist said. “That’s a prime example of private owners investing and growing in the community. It’s a great addition.� Lindquist also noted the The First State Bank of Rosemount’s renovations. The plan wasn’t exactly popular in 2004. At the time, the Rosemount City Council passed on approving the plan, but a subsequent council adopted it. Lindquist, who was a staff member at the time of the original plan, said people were concerned their business might be displaced or forced out. “For the most part, that hasn’t occurred,� Lindquist said. “A lot of the (development) was more organic.�

The new plan doesn’t have as large of a scope. The bulk of the city’s focus now lies between 145th and 147th Street.

District 194 to explore school design innovation Lakeville receives three teacher-governed grants by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Three Lakeville Area School District schools are among 10 statewide that will receive a $50,000 planning grant for outside-the-box brainstorming and training this year. Teachers at Lakeville North High School, the Area Learning Center and Impact Academy at Orchard Lake will use the state grants for teachers to explore options for innovative changes intended to drive personalized learning. The planning grants allow each school to apply for a $100,000 implementation grant for two consecutive years if

their plans are approved by the district. Lakeville North teachers plan to explore options to integrate content in some of its core classes for deeper understanding. ALC teachers plan to explore how to expand the school into a 7-12 model instead of its current 9-12 configuration and also promote skills and strategies including perseverance, critical thinking and selfregulation into its learning program. Impact Academy teachers would use the funds to help to further implement its all-school model, which started this year. When Impact Academy started in 2013, it was an option for students and their families. Students in the program work at their level of learning within a multi-age setting and partici-

pate in service learning projects. The grants will help fund activities that include teacher training, site visits, conferences and work with consultant Education Evolving, a local nonprofit focused on improving public education and advocating for innovation. Impact Academy proposes an all-staff reflective retreat to celebrate, build a positive culture and set goals. The group also proposes visiting teachergoverned schools such as Avalon in St. Paul and Minnesota New Country School in Henderson, Minnesota. Lakeville North teachers are proposing to use their grant to build a school “where students lead their own learning in a collaborative, relevant environment.� They plan to study service learning, examine project-

based learning through Buck Institute and visit teachergoverned schools like Social Justice Humanitas Academy in Los Angeles, California. They would also create curriculum and delivery design for the new model. Julene Oxton, District 194 innovation coordinator, said this is the kind of teacherled planning found in charter schools. She said it allows teachers to have more decisionmaking power over things that are typically decided for them, such as school staffing, scheduling and how a school is designed and instruction delivered. “It’s proven that the people who are closest to the student can make the best decisions for students,� Oxton said. District 194 Superintendent Lisa Snyder agreed.

Better Business Bureau offers tax season tips The IRS has announced it will begin accepting tax returns on Jan. 23, with more than 153 million individual tax returns expected to be filed in 2017. The agency expects more than four out of five tax returns will be prepared electronically using tax preparation software. Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota offers tips for the public as tax season looms into view. “Many people aim to get their taxes done as soon as possible,â€? said Barb Grieman, senior vice president of Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota. “If you have someone prepare your taxes, you always want to make sure they’re qualified and will have your best interests in mind.â€? This year, a new law requires the IRS to hold refunds for returns that contain an Earned Income Tax Credit or an Additional Child Tax Credit until Feb. 15, to ensure the claims are accurate. Taxpayers who are changing tax software products this filing season will need their adjusted gross income from their 2015 tax return in order to file electronically. BBB offers the following tips on finding a trustworthy tax preparer: • Ask around. Get referrals from friends and family on who they use and research free BBB Business Pro-

files on tax preparers and tax preparation services at bbb.org. • Consider accessibility. Some tax preparation services wind down their operations shortly after the April 18 tax deadline. In case the IRS finds errors or in case of an audit, you need to be sure you know how to contact your tax preparer throughout the year. ¡â€˘ Bigger isn’t always better. Be wary of tax preparation services that promise larger refunds than the competition, and avoid tax preparers who base their fee on a percentage of your refund. • Look for credentials. Ideally, your tax preparer should either be a certified public accountant, a tax attorney, an enrolled agent or a certified E-file provider. • Make sure they have a Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN). A valid 2017 PTIN must be obtained by all tax return preparers who are compensated for preparing or assisting in the preparation of, all or substantially all of any U.S. federal tax return, claim for refund, or other tax form submitted to the IRS. • Investigate whether the preparer has any questionable history with your state’s Board of Accountancy (for CPAs), the State Bar Association (for attorneys) or the IRS Office of Professional Responsibility

(OPR) for enrolled agents. • Remember that a Paid Preparer is required by law to sign your return and fill in the preparer areas of the form. In addition, the preparer must give you a copy of your tax return. • Read the contract carefully. Read contracts closely to ensure you understand issues such as how much it will cost for the service, how that cost will be affected if your tax preparation is more complicated and time consuming than expected, and whether the tax preparer will represent you in case of an audit. • Don’t forget about Free File. If your adjusted gross income is $64,000 or less, Free File offers free Federal tax preparation and e-filing. Visit irs.gov/freefile to learn more. The IRS says taxpayers will receive their tax refunds quicker by using e-file or Free File, with the direct deposit option. BBB also warns people about tax refund fraud, a form of identity theft where someone else fraudulently files a tax return in your name. This is a serious issue, one that is difficult to detect and can delay the tax refund you’re due. One of the best ways to avoid falling victim to this type of fraud is to file your tax return as soon as possible. Contact BBB at bbb.org for more information.

“The premise really is if you truly want to make an impact on public education and transform public education to better meet the needs of future-ready learners, we’re seeing now in our schools that it has to come from the teachers,� Snyder said. “They have to drive the change process. Top-down doesn’t work.� Oxton said Lakeville is among other pioneers across the country working to lead transformation and innovation in education to prepare students for the future. “What’s super exciting is that there’s teachers in this district that want to really explore and try to design and be courageous to think differently,� Oxton said. “And it’s all for students.�
