This year the Rosemount-Apple ValleyEagan School District underwent a rebranding campaign, updated its student information system, assigned iPads to high school students, built a new elementary school and elected a new school board member. “This was a year of growth and change in District 196,� said Superintendent Jane Berenz. Here’s a look back at some of the district’s highlights from the past year.

District rebrands In August, the district adopted a new logo which features three interlocking infinity signs that represent academics, arts and athletics. “When Apple Valley high school opened in 1976, the leadership that established that school community really invested in the idea lessons learned in the arts and athletics were just as important as lessons learned in the classroom,� District 196 Communications Director Tony Taschner said. “It has always been providing opportunities in all of those areas because students have different interests.� Berenz said the logo was created to reflect the district’s dedication to all those areas. “[The logo] focuses on our longstanding commitment to the triple-A

The logo also includes a new district motto: “One District.

The district’s website underwent a makeover, as did all of the websites belonging to individual schools in the district, to include the logo and reflect the “one district� sentiment while making them easier to navigate.

New technology In addition to updating the website, the district also updated its student information system, Synergy, in July.

U.S. presidency dominated headlines All politics turned local as interest piqued in the federal branch by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The actions of any U.S. president often dominate the headlines. In 2017, it seemed that every day President Donald Trump and his administration were making major news covered by daily papers, cable television and worldwide political reporters. As a result, it seemed that more people in were engaged in what the federal government was doing this year. First-term Republican U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis found himself in the mid-

Church, partners make the holiday brighter Sharing Christmas Giving Event serves 100 families by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The holidays were made a little brighter for 100 Rosemount area families though the Sharing Christmas Giving Event, which was organized by Lighthouse Christian Church. Last week, 73 Lighthouse volunteers coordinated the event in cooperation with Toys for Tots, Cub Foods, The Drawer, Rosemount Family Resource Center and social workers from Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District 196. During the Dec. 21 distribution, families served received a hot meal, new socks and underwear, toys that were picked out by parents to be wrapped for their children, food and a time for prayer. “It is the greatest blessing to genuinely love and help people and do it a way that provides dignity to our guests,� said the Rev. Bill Goodwin, lead pastor at the church. “At any year, it could be one of us serving who need a helping hand. We remind our team that is serving with, ‘we all have task to do to make this event happen, but ultimately people are more important that tasks.’ � Goodwin said he was

impressed that the number of volunteers increased from 50 to 73 this year. It proved that many hands make lighter work. “Lighthouse Church exists to create environments and build relationships where people experience faith, hope and love in Jesus Christ,� Goodwin said. “It is so fulfilling to come alongside a person or family in their time of need and give them a warm meal and share new toys and gifts for their children and wrap those gifts that they selected. Our prayer team is ready to meet the deepest in need in people’s lives with prayer for their family and bless them with a fresh touch of God’s love.� While the church was building relationships with those in need in the community, it was also working with partners. The Drawer is Rosemount residents Stew and Debby Shepherd’s new nonprofit that raises funds and collects donations in an effort to provide children and adults in need with new socks and underwear.

New Year’s Day fire takes down barn at Fox Family Farm by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

It’s been a challenging start to 2018 for the Fox Family Farm in rural eastern Rosemount. Their front yard still features dozens of Christmas decorations, but in the back yard lies a pile of rubble. A barn across the driveway from the Fox Family Farm Market burned down during the early morning hours of New Year’s Day. Rosemount Fire Chief Richard Schroeder said they were called out about two hours after the ball dropped New Year’s Day morning. The Rosemount, Hastings, Miesville, Hampton and Inver Grove Heights fire departments responded to the barn fire. No one was hurt, but the barn contained chickens. The Fox family leased it out to area farmers. Schroeder said an unknown number of chickens died and the building was a

This was the fourth barn fire on the property in owner Richard Fox’s lifetime.

The barn that burned down was once filled with hogs. Richard Fox farrowed 6,500 hogs every year until the market declined, Joan Fox said. It’s been a trying month for the Fox family.

Stories published to practice English Adult Basic Education students share personal stories by Amy Mihelich

Council advocates that, as studies have shown, culturally relevant texts can help students become more engaged in learning. “Journeys provides a text of authentic learner stories for teachers to use in the classroom. We believe Journeys engages students more effectively than other texts because it values the contributions adult students make to adult education programs and the larger Minnesota community,� the Minnesota Literacy Council website said. Everyone is on a journey — that is one of the main takeaways from the collection of stories. With 2017 in the books, the

SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

As we look back on 2017, we might find ourselves sharing memories with friends and family. When remembering, sometimes we look at pictures, sometimes we pass around souvenirs and often we share stories. Putting a memory into words can be a challenging business — but it becomes even more difficult when the words you are using are in a new language. A group of students in District 196 Adult Basic Education know just how difficult this task can be. They published stories in the 2017 edition of “Journeys: An Anthology of Adult Student Writing.� “Journeys� is a publication of the Minnesota Literacy Council. In this book of stories, students share short memoirs, poems, art and more, all the with the purpose of putting into words the journeys of adult literacy students. The contributing authors come from all across the state of Minnesota. They are students enrolled in reading, English as a Second Language, GED and basic skills classes — and several of District 196’s Adult Basic Education (ABE) students had the opportunity to see their memories in print this year. Olga Chavez is one such student. She lives in Apple Valley and attends morning classes at Cedar Valley Learning Center. She moved to Apple Valley in July of 2016, and she wrote her story, “Winter Memories,� in September of that year. Although writing the piece was a class assignment, Chavez made it personal. It’s a story she’d told her sister — a story

The cover of “Journeys: An Anthology of Adult Student Writing� features photos of the authors within the shape of Minnesota. Adults learning English from around the state, including students from District 196 Adult Basic Education programs, submitted and published stories about their own journeys in the 2017 edition. about making it through her first Minnesota winter. “I wrote about my children playing in the first snow,� she said. Chavez said capturing the joy of her children as they played was challenging, especially in English, but she worked at it until she found the perfect words. It was all worth it when she saw her words in print. “I felt happy,� she said. “I said: ‘This is my story, and it is beautiful.’ � Now, Chavez is a level four student. She’s continuing to take classes to help her improve her English, and she’s working towards a GED. She said she used to live in Richfield, and since moving to Apple Valley she’s been able to find more

opportunities to improve her language skills. She’s proud of her work in in the 2017 edition of “Journeys,� and she said it’s only the beginning. She’s already begun working on her next submission. “It’s much longer,� she said. “It answers the question: ‘why?’ � The piece wrestles with her decision to move from Mexico to Minnesota. Chavez is working to describe the logic, emotions, challenges and joys of her move to a new place — and she’s doing it all in a language that is slowly becoming more familiar. “Journeys� provides a platform for ABE students to share their experiences, but it is also a resource for other students to read and learn from.

Opinion Predictions for 2018 include football, political winners by Don Heinzman SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The year 2018 promises two blockbusters for Minnesotans: the Super Bowl and the November election. And I have theories about both as well as other topics sure to make headlines in the next year. As for the Super Bowl, the Minnesota Vikings will play and lose in the final minutes, breaking their record of four Super Bowl losses. The well-planned, two-week event will be marred only by unseasonably warm weather, causing the St. Paul ice castle to start melting. The national political spotlight will be on Minnesota when two U.S. Senate positions, the governor’s seat, constitutional officers and control of the Minnesota House and Senate appear on the ballot. I predict that a tidal wave of antiDonald Trump votes, particularly from white suburban, college-educated voters, will result in the Democrats controlling the U.S. Senate. DFL U.S. Rep.

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Don Heinzman Tim Walz will barely beat Republican Tim Pawlenty for the governor seat he once held. There will be a party control change in the Minnesota Senate, and Republicans will keep their majority in the House, buoyed by support from outstate voters. Second District U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis will lose his seat, and 3rd District U.S. Rep. Erik Paulsen will win in a close vote. Sen. Amy Klobuchar will be reelected, and she will be one of the favorites to run for the 2020 presidency. Tina Smith will be elected to the U.S. Senate seat previously occupied by Al Franken, thanks to a rise in women’s political involvement in Minnesota. There will be a huge turnout of voters at all levels, including precinct caucuses,

county, district and state conventions. Both national political parties will pour money into Minnesota. The Legislature, faced with a budget shortfall, will have to fund more aid for the sick and elderly as the Trump administration and a Republican-controlled Congress cut off some of those federal funds. Health care costs will soar as Congress and Trump try to save money by changing the federal funding of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) and grant money to states to decide how health care costs will be spent. In the Legislature, look for both the House and Senate to quickly introduce legislation to tighten laws targeting nursing homes and assisted living facilities, protecting elderly residents and mandating immediate reporting of any abuse of those vulnerable residents. Pressure will mount on the Legislature to pass a law increasing the age of purchasing tobacco products to 21 years, but it won’t happen, thanks in part to a campaign mounted by businesses that

sell those products. The Metropolitan Council will be under siege by conservatives, but, except for minor alterations, will stay intact. In the business world, look for retail to remain steady, despite increased online buying by consumers. The hospitality business, fueled by residual fun from the Super Bowl, will be good. On the downside, the poor will struggle even more as the price of affordable housing rises and more mobile home parks disappear. Efforts to increase the minimum wage more than the state law allows will stall as business groups, such as the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce, mount efforts to fight it. Finally, look for some, but not all, of these predictions to come true. Don Heinzman is a columnist for ECM Publishers Inc. Send comments to editor. sun@ecm-inc.com.

Letters Economic growth strong To the editor: In his Dec. 21 letter to the editor, Howard Schneider complains he’s seen no analysis to support U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis’ conviction that tax reform could pay for itself by boosting economic growth. Lewis’ conviction rests on the fact that “predictions of $1 trillion-1.5 trillion increases in (federal deficits) are incorrect because the analyses assume too little economic growth.” Strangely, in an apparent attempt to refute Lewis’ comments, Schneider actually names the very groups and agencies that, in fact, assumed too little economic growth in formulating their dire predictions. Whereas our economy has on average actually grown 3.2 percent annually since 1947, the Congressional Budget Office and Joint Committee on Taxation assumed baseline GDP growth of just 1.9 percent, while others Schneider cited used slightly higher baseline assumptions near 2.2 percent GDP growth. In other words, there are good reasons for Lewis and others to doubt the glum forecasts Schneider and fellow pessimistic DFLers like simply because they fit their ideological lenses. Indeed, the final three quarters of 2017 saw economic growth of 3 percent or greater. What is heartening, however, is to see the Democrats’ sudden concern for debt and deficits. Let’s see how sincere they are by how urgently and authentically they join the next critically important effort to reduce federal spending – a priority that’s time also has come. I look forward to being surprised.

heard of ANTIFA and Occupy. But there’s another group called “Indivisibles.” Bottom line, they are the same — the “resistance.” They call themselves “grassroots” and use all kinds of language that makes them look like a religious movement, to hide their agenda, which is to replace our government with a socialist-progressive system. They use the buzz words: social justice, sustainability, protecting reproductive rights, prevent voter suppression, etc. Indivisibles have books and formal guidelines outlining the “how to”: “pressure legislators” by using “the most effective tactics recommended by experienced congressional staffers” and how to “revolt” using a “virtual tool box” and “momentum-based organizing.” These books and guidelines are written by people that idolize: France Fox Piven, Hugo Chavez and Noam Chomsky. In the past, these “reKYLE CHRISTENSEN sistance” groups would be considered subversive. Lakeville Today, it’s “social activism.” These “resistance” groups create a corrupted Indivisibles language, indoctrinate the untrained-eye and win the pushing an hearts of people who want agenda revolution.

ment for explanations for dramatically increasing the national debt, in part, by poor trade deals and in equal part by giving billions to terrorist nations like Iran. Our tax rate was 39 percent here as small business owners and that sort of taxation has run many small businesses into the ground nationwide. The business climate has been so hostile (anti-American) that these constant hikes in taxation were essential. Most of this deficit increase has been the result of extremely poor judgment and zero business experience on the part of the past several presidents. Obama personally drove the deficit like a Harley rider on steroids. There is literally nothing President Donald Trump could do to make this economy worse except continue on the errant and destructive pathway of the previous eight years and the prior past presidents

Taxes — I will remember To the editor: I find it hard to believe California U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s excuses for not supporting the tax bill, claiming it’s only for the wealthy, it will hurt charities and destroy the economy. As a retired person who raised three children as a single mother, I’m not even close to being wealthy, but my living expenses are low and I have enough left to donate to church and other charities. Based on figures from last year’s taxes, it appears that I will owe $900 less in taxes over the next year — and no longer need to itemize. On top of that, my 401K is growing much faster than I expected. That means that now I can afford to donate even more to charities I support. Since I now have to take a Required Minimum Distribution from my

401K, I find if I donate directly from my 401K, it will not only count toward my RMD, but it will also lower my taxable income, since it’s pre-tax money. That means less of my Social Security payments will be taxable. I get the benefit of the higher standard deduction, but I can still donate tax-free without itemizing. It’s win/win for me. And not just me. Based on passage of the tax bill, CVS Health plans to create 3,000 permanent new jobs; FedEx will ramp up hiring and invest in new equipment and technology; Boeing announced a commitment to invest $300 million in areas that directly benefit their employees, such as matched corporate giving, workforce training and education, facilities and workplace infrastructure enhancements; Bancorp, Wells Fargo, and Comcast announced plans for large bonuses to frontline employees, minimum wage increases, increased charitable donations, etc. I have little doubt that other companies will follow. I’m sure there will be a few who won’t qualify for the lower taxes; but, we all benefit when the economy does well. I will remember how people voted and I’m grateful for those legislators like U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis who voted to pass this bill. CANDICE REYES Eagan

Business Buzz TempWorks CEO celebrates milestone David Dourgarian, CEO of Eagan-based TempWorks Software, is celebrating his 10th anniversary as company leader in 2018. TempWorks provides front and back office staffing solutions for staffing agencies of every size. The Dourgarian family has been delivering solutions to the light industrial temporary staffing industry since 1972. Dourgarian’s late grandfather became a Manpower franchisee in Sacramento in 1972 and Dourgarian’s father Greg founded TempWorks Software in 1997 to respond to the growing demand for a software platform to recruit and track applicants for staffing agencies. When David Dourgarian began leading the business in 2008, TempWorks had 40 employees. He has been instrumental in leading the company to record growth from 2008 to 2017, and winning awards for his innovative ideas. The company now has 132 employees and exceeded $21 million in sales in 2016. David Dourgarian is looking towards the future of how his company can help light industry staffing agencies flourish. “Over the next three years, we have at least one client in most major markets who is preparing to go from a 100or 200-person company to a 1,000-person company. To succeed, they will need to negotiate all kinds of growth hurdles while never losing sight of their customers and their needs,� he said.

pointed by Gov. Mark Dayton to co-lead the Governor’s Task Force on Housing with Acooa Ellis of Catholic Charities. This task force will study the housing system in Minnesota and develop recommendations to increase access to safe and affordable rental housing, create more pathways to homeownership and improve housing stability and opportunity. “At Bremer, we believe homeownership is one of the cornerstones of strong communities,� said Crain. “Taking an active leadership role in the communities we serve is one of our company’s core beliefs. I’m honored to have the opportunity to partner with such a distinguished group of community leaders to tackle the critical affordable housing issues affecting individuals, families and economic vitality throughout Minnesota.� As part of Bremer Bank’s ongoing commitment to affordable housing, in March, Bremer Bank partnered with Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity on its new Home Loan Impact Fund, agreeing to purchase up to 500 below-market Habitat mortgages over the next four years. This commitment will more than double the number of local families that can partner with Twin Cities Habitat on affordable homeownership. Bremer Bank has branches locally in Eagan and Inver Grove Heights.

Hawkins named to bank executive group

Indianabased Old National Bank Bank CEO has named Jeff appointed to task Hawkins to its Executive Leadforce Group, Jeanne Crain, Bremer Fi- ership which is com- Jeff nancial Corporation’s chief Hawkins executive officer, has been ap- prised of Old National’s se-

Hawkins, who currently serves as president/chief operating officer for Anchor Bank, a division of Old National Bank, has more than 35 years of experience in the banking industry. He earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Minnesota and completed coursework at Minnesota State University, Mankato, and the University of St. Thomas. Hawkins joined Anchor Bank as a charter president over 20 years ago. He remains active in the community, as he is involved with the Minnesota State Fair Foundation, Dakota County Fair and statewide 4-H initiatives.

6A Jan. 5, 2018 SUN THISWEEK - Apple Valley

POLITICS, from 1A surance — a key feature of the bill widely referred to as Obamacare. Republicans in the House passed a repeal and replacement of the ACA, which Lewis said on the campaign trail was a top priority. The Senate never got enough support for the bill and was unable to pass it along to Trump. “I will be the first to admit our side did not do a good job of messaging,� said Lewis, speaking April 10 at a Dakota County Regional Chamber of Commerce event at Valleywood Golf Course in Apple Valley. “I spoke passionately on the floor about this — I stand by my support. The status quo is untenable.� Lewis said other accomplishments of the past year were working with Democrats on comprehensive criminal justice reform, the House passage of Lewis’ Juvenile Justice Reform bill and the adoption of 15 Congressional Review Act resolutions “rolling back burdensome, duplicative, and unnecessary big-government rules, saving over 4.2 million hours of unnecessary paperwork and $3.7 billion in regulatory costs.� He said he also blocked attempts to reauthorize the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act without serious reforms. Many people in the 2nd

District called for Lewis to hold a town hall meeting 2017. Lewis said in February “we will figure out a way to do it,� but several times expressed reservations about such an event since “we know it is an orchestrated attempt on the part of the people who worked for Hillary Clinton and my opponent.� Burnsville-Lakeville Indivisible invited Lewis to its own town hall in Dakota County, but Lewis declined. Instead, organizers played video clips of Lewis’s past statements on topics such as immigration, health care, taxes and education. Several people went to the Lewis’ Burnsville office in the past year to protest the Republicans’ health care bill, immigration reform and the tax bill. One group organized by Take Action Minnesota went to Lewis’ Woodbury house to protest in changes to health care. The protest, which took place on the lawn, driveway and doorstep of his private residence, was criticized by Lewis and other Republicans and Democrats. Though a recent Pew Research study showed that less than 50 percent of core conservatives and solid liberals are registered to vote, follow politics closely and vote in every or nearly every election, the signs of increased political engagement can be seen in rallies

for and against the current administration. This newspaper noticed an uptick in the level of engagement in federal issues as nearly 100 letters to the editor referred to Lewis in 2017, while in 2013 31 mentioned former U.S. Rep. John Kline. Both were years following presidential elections. About a dozen letters referred to Eagan resident Angie Craig, who lost by a narrow margin to Lewis in 2016. Interest in the 2018 ballot’s 2nd District seat attracted the attention of Craig and three other candidates. Longtime Rosemount High School teacher Jeff Erdmann said he would be running in May, and Craig, who stepped down from her leadership responsibilities as vice president of global human resources at St. Paul-based St. Jude Medical to focus on her 2016 campaign, officially joined the race in June. Jacob Cassidy, of Apple Valley, started a campaign pledge page this summer as an Independent Progressive, but had not registered with the Federal Election Commission as of this time. “The reason I am running for Congress is because I believe a culture of success is built on respect,� the longtime RHS football coach Erdmann said in a letter announcing

his candidacy. “America will only succeed when respect and value are placed on citizens who work hard and sacrifice every day for what they have. This needs to be brought back to the American political forefront.� “We deserve a representative who will listen to everyone — even those we might disagree with — and then work to create a level playing field for every family,� said Craig during her announcement. “I’m ready to use my experience to work to lower health care costs and ensure every family has access to care,� she said. “I’m ready to fight for public education and more affordable college and job training. I’m ready to fight for good paying jobs and for the Social Security and Medicare benefits that Minnesotans have already paid for. I’m ready to fight Washington to make sure this district is heard and gets what it deserves.� Craig lost to Lewis, a longtime radio talk show host, who earned 46.95 percent of the vote, while Craig had 45.16 percent. Independence Party candidate Paula Overby had 7.79 percent of the vote. Overby, of Eagan, announced in November that she would be running for the U.S. Senate seat that was previously held by Al Franken. She made the announcement a few weeks before Franken was

accused by a Los Angeles radio talk show host of forcibly kissing her during a rehearsal for a USO Tour show and a photo surfaced that showed Franken appearing to grope Leeann Tweeden while she was sleeping. Franken said on Dec. 7 he would be resigning from the position after several other women accused him of inappropriate sexual touching prior to and during the past 10 years he has served in the Senate. “I know in my heart that nothing I have done as a senator, nothing, has brought dishonor on this institution. ‌ But this decision is not about me. It’s about the people of Minnesota. It’s become clear that I can’t pursue the Ethics Committee process and at the same time remain an effective senator for them,â€? Franken said. He said he would resign Jan. 2. Gov. Mark Dayton appointed Lt. Gov. Tina Smith as the next U.S. senator to fill out the year remaining on Franken’s term. She says she will vie for the DFL endorsement to run in the fall election.

Capitol Two Minnesota legislators also said in November that they would resign, following allegations of sexual harassment. Sen. Dan Schoen,

DFL-St. Paul Park, announced his plans to step down on Thursday, Nov. 21. Less than two hours later, Rep. Tony Cornish, R-Vernon Center, did the same. Cornish announced his plans to leave office as a way of taking responsibility for his actions. Schoen continues to deny allegations. When his actions were first brought under the public eye, Schoen had said the accusations of sexual harassment were either “completely false� or “taken far out of context.� Their actions came to light after several women went public with their own stories of sexual harassment. Rep. Erin Maye Quade, DFL-Apple Valley, and 2015 House District 56B candidate Lindsey Port — both of whom reported and publicly announced their stories of harassment — worked with Rep. Jamie Becker-Finn, DFL-Roseville, to call for the creation of a task force to address issues of sexual harassment at the State Capitol. In response to Schoen’s announcement of resignation, Maye Quade made a statement saying it wasn’t enough. “One senator’s resignation does not change the culture. I want to change the culture,� she said. Special elections were slated to fill both of the vacancies.

Letters home create an online WWII journal by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Dec. 7, 1941 — “another peaceful Sunday in the army,� wrote Pvt. Dorance Pershing Alquist. Biding his time at the Fort Bragg Army base in North Carolina, the 23-year-old draftee penned some words to his folks, Oscar and Edna Alquist of 39th Avenue South in Minneapolis, before adjourning to the evening movie, “I Wake Up Screaming,� with Betty Grable and Carol Landis. “No doubt I’ll be finishing this letter at the Service Club later tonite — I’ll tell you how many stars it rates at that time,� wrote Dorance, who went by the nickname Dip. Between mentions of his office job, a hitchhiking adventure to Raleigh and an “Xmas card from Dot & Arlo,� Dip addressed that day’s surprise attacks on Pearl Harbor and Manila. “You know I was sitting here reading in my civilian suit when they announced the orders from the War Dept. that all men in the U.S. army will be in uniform effective tomorrow.

Olsen plans to post them chronologically, in roughly the same cadence with which Dip wrote home. “It was remarkable how consistent he was — at least once a week,� said Olsen, a 1999 Burnsville High School graduate who moved back here 10 years ago and is raising two children with his wife, Natalie. “This noon we had our big meal & was it a dilly,� Dip wrote on Christmas Day 1941. “We had turkey & all the trimmings & four different kinds of pie. On each table were piles of fruit, nuts, candy & fruit cake, & each of us got a package of cigarettes, any brand he chose.

I know he saw war in the Philippines, and then they occupied Japan shortly after Japan surrendered.� Dip took officer training at Fort Bragg, earning the rank of lieutenant colonel and shipping out to the Pacific in 1943, Olsen said. Dip left active duty in 1946, served in the Army Reserve and retired from the Army in 1978. “He wasn’t one of those reserved guys who wouldn’t talk about their experience in the war,� Olsen said. “He was open about it. I think he grew up a lot in his service, and that’s really where he kind of became himself, I think. He looked very fondly on it. He was kind of a scrawny kid and he ended up becoming an officer and learned leadership. I think it had a big effect on who he was in life.� After the war Dip

earned a mechanical engineering degree from the University of Minnesota. He married Marion Sneen, of Minneapolis, the girlfriend with whom he corresponded during the war. “He lived very happily and was a very relational person and very outgoing and was friends with pretty much everyone he met,� Olsen said. “His sphere of influence is quite large, and there’s a lot of people that are interested in his story.� Dip’s letters reflected his personality even after he went from Fort Bragg to a war zone, Olsen said. “It usually didn’t get too serious,� he said. “Soldiers, I think, adopt a somewhat darker sense of humor as they go. You can see that a little bit.� Air Mail From Dip includes podcasts of the letters — a family affair with Christian reading and his brother John playing period music on the piano. Their brother, Eric, does audio production. Olsen said his wife will read the Marion Sneen parts of her letters to Dip. Contact John Gessner at john.gessner@ecm-inc.com or 952-846-2031.

FEED, from 1A lunch. Currently, the Weekend Food Program is in 34 District 196 schools, and the District 196 Foundation funds the program for 12 of them. Board member Khia Brown said the foundation makes the program sustainable with reliable partners. “The foundation would love to find permanent sponsors for the schools that are remaining,� she said. “We are bridging the gap till sponsors can be found.� Dolan said they’ve found kids are readier to learn on Monday when they aren’t hungry, and they are more likely to show up for class on Friday when they know they’ll be receiving food to bring home to their families. The foundation also provides students with books to read when school is out through its Summer Reading Program. From 2016 to 2017, the foundation and its partners donated books to nearly 3,000 District 196 students. Because students get to keep the books, they build up a little home library and provide their family members with books to read as well. Students come back to school in the fall with higher literacy proficiency, Dolan said. The programs are not the only part of the foundation that has grown; the number of board members has grown, and so has their vision for the future of the foundation. “We take our direction from the school district administrative team. They identify the gaps with the students in the district,� Dolan said. “We want to support the entire district — which is different than the school-based foundations.� About three years ago Dolan and her team began recruiting more members. Today, there are 13 members on the board — 13 people with 13 different professions, experiences, backgrounds and skill sets. Sara Dziuk joined the board about a year ago. By day, she is the executive director of College Possible, a nonprofit organization that works with and supports low-income students on their path to a college degree. In her free time, she’s using her professional fundraising and organizational skills to reinvigorate the fund. “My passion is for the work of nonprofits, particularly for education equity. I have the opportunity to do that in my day job every single day by raising dollars and creating programs to promote equity,� Dziuk said. “The foundation’s focus is for education equity, so I get to take my professional expertise and have it impact my community in a really meaningful way.� Dziuk joined the board because she thought it would be a place where should could utilize her talents to make a difference. “I get to be part of an organization that is not thinking about one pocket or one community, but all parts of District 196,� she said. “We are serving all students with a focus on educational equity — making sure every student has what they need to succeed and thrive.� She’s brought her fun-

draising expertise to the table. “I could help us think through fundraising and opportunities that could exist to secure more dollars,� she said. “It’s about the resources we are able to secure to put it back into our district and into our schools and into our community.� Khia Brown, director of Community Education for District 196, has been on the board for several years. She’s also one of three district employees who serve on the board as ex-officio members — liaisons between the board and the foundation (along with the superintendent and the director of finance). She helps keep the foundation going, from an administrative perspective, by keeping record of the meeting minutes and monitoring the foundation’s email and Facebook page. She said she does similar work in her job and on the board. “At Community Ed, a lot of what we do is extend learning in the classroom and by helping to support what happens during the regular school day,� Brown said. “A lot of the things the foundation is doing is to helping support students during their regular school day.� Kari Thompson is the newest board member; she joined this summer. She read about the foundation one day and was struck by the stories of kids who didn’t have books or food in her own community. Thompson runs a small business and works as a communications consultant. She got involved in the District 196 Foundation because she was passionate about sharing the information that she’d found so surprising — and the work community members are doing to take care of each other — with others. “It’s a huge untold story for us,� she said. She’s been using her professional communications skills to help the foundation market itself in a way that will reach families, businesses and potential partners. They’ve created a video about they work the foundation does and made efforts to bolster their Facebook and Twitter accounts, as well as their website. “We’ve heard wonderful stories from social workers, principals, teachers — and we are trying to tell them,� she said. Thompson is also working with other members of the board to create a signature event. “We want to find something we can do to bring community together and make it more obvious we exist,� she said. She said the board has been able to work well together because the members are professional, hold each other accountable and they are dedicated to accomplishing tasks between each of the every-other-month meetings. “Everyone represents a different expertise,� Thompson said. “It’s a really nice mix of different skill sets.� Dolan said the revived board is important not just because of its size but because of the connections with the community it’s been able to form. “Our leverage is not just financial, it’s influence as well. We can do more if we are not doing it by ourselves,� she said.

The District 196 Foundation funds several programs that provide students the support they need outside of the classroom to succeed in the classroom. They hope to raise $50,000 this year to fund programs including Weekend Food, Summer Reading and Band for All. When the board cannot fund programming for a District 196 school, it finds sponsors, partners, donors and volunteers who can make it happen.

The goal Dziuk knows the goal is lofty, but she’s confident that it will be met. “We are focusing on this ambitious goal of $50,000. With a lot more people working together around this cause and being passionate about this mission, I believe it is totally achievable,� she said. Teachers and staff appear to be on board. Each year district teachers and staff raise funds for local causes, the District 196 Foundation being one of them. In November, the district’s annual giving campaign saw a 60 percent increase in giving. Well over 150 employees made gifts directed to the foundation. With this support, a new program is already in the works. Through the Band for All initiative, the foundation collects used instruments, tunes them up and borrows them out to District 196 students who would like to participate in band but cannot afford an instrument. Dziuk is already looking forward to what new projects the foundation will be able to fund. “I think this is just the beginning,� she said. Dolan agreed. “Who are we, what do we want to be, what do we want to be when we grow up — we are getting that focus, and we are executing toward that,� Dolan said. The District 196 Foundation is looking to partner with local real estate

REVIEW, from 1A device to every student in grades four through 12. Students in grades 10, 11 and 12 received an iPad this year. Grades four, five and six will be added next fall to complete the implementation. The devices are available to students at no cost, and are funded by the November 2015 referendum. This distribution is a continuation of last year’s provisions for students in grades seven, eight and nine. Students learn to use the devices as learning tools — providing them with operational knowledge while also teaching them to be good digital citizens.

Enrollment up With 28,644 students, enrollment in District 196 schools rose to a record high this year. The number of students enrolling in Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan schools has been on the rise for five consecutive years. Nonresident students have been enrolling at increasing rates. In 2017, 2,258 nonresident students enrolled — nearly triple the 814 who enrolled in the 2007-08 school year a decade ago. Enrollment is up 1.6 percent, 462 students, from last year. With new housing developments within district boundaries, and more families choosing to open enroll in District 196 schools, the district predicts enrollment will continue to grow, Berenz said. Former State Demographer Hazel Reinhardt predicts that over the next 10 years enrollment could increase by as much as 15 percent as a result of new development, especially as the University of Minnesota sells portions of land from the UMore Park in Rosemount to developers.

Capacity grows The district’s physical capacity grew as well. A new elementary school, East Lake Elementary School, opened. The additions to the first two of the district’s five elementary magnet schools — Oak Ridge Elementary School of Leadership,

Environment and Health Sciences and Echo Park Elementary School of Leadership, Engineering and Technology — came to completion this year. Additions to Deerwood and Woodland elementary schools also reached completion. They will provide the schools with secure entrances. Projects began at Valley Middle School of STEM, Apple Valley High School and Rosemount High School as well. Valley Middle 8th graders are currently attending school at Apple Valley High School to reduce the number of students in the building during construction. The projects will wrap up in 2018, prior to the start of the new school year. “These and other improvements from the 2015 referendum were made possible thanks to the generous support of our community,� Berenz said.

Graduation rates increase District 196 high schools saw an increase in graduation rates. On average, 92 percent of students graduate. Of the students who do not graduate, 6 percent are continuing school and 2 percent had dropped out. Minnesota has an average high school graduation rate of 82 percent. The state’s goal is to achieve graduation rates of at least 90 percent overall and at least 85 percent for each subgroup of students by 2020. The district met the state goal for all students in general, as well as four of the eight subgroups, including: Asian/Pacific Islander, white, black and Hispanic students. It did not meet the state goal for American Indian/ Alaskan Native students, students receiving English Learner or special education services and students receiving free or reduced-price school meals. According to a report by the school district, the gap between the graduation rate of white students and all other subgroups of students decreased in District 196 last year: by

Hearts back home in Rosemount swelled with pride upon seeing the 1-minute, 15-second performance in Herald Square on NBC-TV, shouts of encouragement and applause rang through the streets of Manhattan as they marched in front of 400-some family and friends along the parade route who traveled to New York City to support the band, but they weren’t the only ones captivated by the band. The throngs of people who watched the parade from packed sidewalks, apartment balconies or rooftops sang along with the band’s renditions of “Santa Claus is Coming to Town� and “Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow.� “The coolest thing for me was seeing everyone singing the Christmas songs,� said senior drum major Colette Edgar. “These are people who had not met each other previously and now they were all singing Christmas music together.� She thought it especially heartwarming since it was Thanksgiving, a time

Eastview’s girls basketball players and coaches are reading a motivational book called “Chop Wood, Carry Water: How to Fall in Love with the Process of Becoming Great” and looking for ways to apply its lessons to their season. “We’re on Chapter Eight,” coach Molly Kasper said. The book apparently doesn’t have a chapter outlining how to beat Hopkins, but if it needs one, the Lightning now could write it. A 66-56 victory over the Royals on Friday at the St. Olaf Holiday Hoops Classic was the highlight of a week that saw the Lightning improve to 10-0. Eastview, ranked second in Class 4A last week, likely will jump over Hopkins to No. 1. Eastview and Wayzata entered 2018 as the only undefeated teams in Class 4A. Eastview also defeated Northfield 60-52 and Hastings 55-28 in the St. Olaf tourney. Although the Lightning’s victory over Hopkins drew the most attention, the three teams it defeated in the tournament are a combined 28-6, meaning the team had to play well all three days. As good as last week was for the Lightning, Kasper said the book is helping keep the players grounded, reminding them there’s still a lot to do. “We’re focusing on the fact we’re only 10 games in, and we could play as many as 32” if Eastview reaches the final day of the state tournament, Kasper said. “It’s crazy. It feels like we’re almost done. What it means is we have a lot more days to come to practice, be with each other, and try to get better.” Four players scored 12 points or more in the Lightning’s victory over Hopkins. Eastview also was able to cut down on turnovers in the second – after losing possession 13 times in the first half, the Lightning turned it over just five times in the second half – which Kasper identified as a priority if her team was going to beat the Royals, something no Lightning team had done since 2013. Hopkins defeated Eastview twice last year, in overtime in the St. Olaf tournament and later in the state Class 4A semifinals. “In those games, about 65 percent of Hopkins’ points came in transition or on second chances – in other words, because of our mistakes,” Kasper said. “Friday, we did a much better job of taking care of the ball and keep-

I was really proud of the girls.” Senior forward Megan Walstad had 15 points and junior guard Emma Carpenter 14 for Eastview. Andrea Abrams had 13 points, including three three-point baskets, and Macy Guebert scored 12. Walstad also grabbed 12 rebounds. Hopkins guard Paige Bueckers, possibly the state’s best player even though she’s a sophomore, had a game-high 30 points. “With a player like Paige, you have to make her take tough, contested shots,” Kasper said. “And she made tough, contested shots. But when she made one, our players didn’t get frustrated. They just said, ‘Nope, this is our job. We’re going to keep playing.’” Walstad had 18 points, Guebert 17 and Cassidy Carson 14 as the Lightning held off Northfield in the opening round of the St. Olaf tourney on Thursday. Eastview finished up on Saturday by holding Hastings to 11 second-half points in the final-round game. Walstad had 17 points and 13 rebounds in the Hastings game and finished with 50 points and 34 rebounds for the three games. She was one rebound in the Northfield game short of having a double-double all three days. The Lightning, 3-0 in the South Suburban Conference, returns to league play at 7 p.m. Friday at Prior Lake.

This free event will feature Rosemount writer Craig MacIntosh, who will discuss the fourth in the ongoing Wolf series, “Wolf’s Baja.� “Wolf’s Baja� is a tale of an incorruptible Mexican marine who joins former Green Beret Sam McFadden and retired Navy SEAL Tom Wolf to battle bandidos, crooked cops, murderous sicarios, and an American ex-pat with a secret challenge. MacIntosh served as a platoon leader during the Vietnam War, with the First Infantry Division, “The Big Red One.� After leaving the Army in 1970, he began his journalism career as a political cartoonist with the Journal Herald in Dayton, Ohio. He later moved to Minnesota, where he worked as an editorial cartoonist for the Minneapolis Star. While there, he and fellow editorial cartoonist Steve Sack created the syndicated children’s feature “Doodles,� distributed by Los Angeles–based Creators Syndicate. In 1992, he left the newspaper to pursue a career as the artist for the widely published cartoon strip “Sally Forth,� which appears in 600 papers. In addition to comic strip duties, he began penning fiction. Along with writing, he continues painting with watercolors as well as creating bronze sculptures. MacIntosh will not only talk about his writing career, but also give his take on the writing process and his varied background.

A big issue, he said, is with auxiliary heating sources. “They’re not the safest thing,� Schroeder said. “Not everybody’s house is up to codes with windows, so they turn on a space heater in cold spots in the house. If things get too close, they can start a fire.� Many older space heaters don’t have the safety features of new models, he

said. Although it’s not official, Joan Fox thought a space heater might be the cause of the fire. “It’s one big mess to clean up,� Joan Fox said. “We’ll see what happens, but he has big plans for the store again.� Contact Andy Rogers at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

College news Apple Valley native Rebecca Crepeau, a senior marketing major at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, was on the winning team for a marketing competition involving Union Pacific Railroad. Students from Drake University and Creighton University met in Omaha recently for the fifth annual Murphy Cup, a marketing student case competition. Students worked in teams to develop strategies for marketing a new wholly-owned subsidiary of Union Pacific, a railroad franchise that operates in 23 U.S. states. Crepeau also was honored as the year’s Most Knowledgeable Contributor. Minnesota State University Moorhead fall graduate Anthony Roetzel, of Apple Valley, B.S.

Bette Marie Hendricks Bradley

Myrtle E. (Storlie) Kelly

Bette Marie Hendricks Bradley, resident of Laguna Woods, CA, was passionate about family, liberal politics, reading, playing bridge, and quilting as exhibited by her beautiful patchwork life. She passed away quietly and peacefully from natural causes on December 23, 2017. She was 93 years young. The central focus of her piece work design were her three children who survive her: David Charles Bradley (Fort Collins, CO), Joy Bradley (San Juan Capistrano, CA) and Kip Bradley (Santa Barbara, CA). Nanny’s quilt pattern was further enhanced by her grandchildren: Colter Fleming, Nicoletta, Gabriella and Leyton Bradley. In 2012, she was saddened by the unexpected loss of her grandson, Brody Fleming. Bette’s vast network of friends formed the border of her life’s great quilt. She spent time enjoying many of her favorite hobbies and passions, and collected special memories from time spent quilting, at the Laguna Woods City Hall Library in search of the latest large print books, encouraging fellow members of an ostomy support group, learning about the latest and greatest technology via the Laguna Woods MAC Club, as well as keeping up to date and in touch with old neighbors from years living in Bloomington, MN. You are invited to join us to share Bette stories at her memorial on Saturday, January 6, 2017 at 11 a.m. at the Lutheran Church of the Cross, 24231 El Toro Road, Laguna Woods, CA. ,Q OLHX RI ÀRZHUV SOHDVH FRQVLGHU PDNLQJ D GRQDWLRQ to the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation. http://www. crohnscolitisfoundation.org/

The new Rosemount Steeple Center Gallery exhibition will feature Apple Valley photographer Rusty Fifield and Red Wing watercolor artist Dan Wiemer from January through March. A free opening reception will be held at the Steeple Center on Wednesday, Jan. 17, from 6-8 p.m., with artist talks at 7 p.m. Refreshments will be served. The exhibit and reception are being organized by the Rosemount Area Arts Council. Fifield is a longtime financial analyst with companies such as Springsted, Ehlert and Associates and currently as managing director and municipal strategist at Northland Securities. He said he has been taking photographs for a long time, but only recently has dedicated more time to his craft. “Some of the impetus came from turning 60 and thinking about the next chapter in my life,” he said. Fifield was diagnosed Parkinson’s disease several years ago, but he says that so far, the changes in his life have not been significant. “It does add a few new wrinkles to ‘still’ photography,” he said of living with the condition of the

I relish heading out in the dark hoping to find a spectacular sunrise to share.” Many of the images in the show are those of Fifield’s favorite places; several of them are in Dakota County. “There are amazing images all around us,” he said. “We just have to slow down, look and take the picture.” Fifield wrapped up a daily-photo-for-a-year project on his SmugMug website this summer. Many of the images are of landscapes, downtown Minneapolis and his family.

He is a past president of the Minnesota Watercolor Society and has taught classes and workshops for 20 years all over Minnesota. “I play with the shapes and textures of the landscape,” he said. “I try to find rhythms in the scene that translate into exciting motifs.

dential properties built before 1971. In older subdivisions built in the 1960s and 1970s, the average lot size was smaller than it is today in residential neighborhoods. Over the years, if a homeowner wanted to add on a garage or bedroom addition, it would exceed the old standard of 20 percent lot coverage. The City Council wanted it to be easier for this type of reinvestment as long as the neighborhood approved. “It would accommodate building additions that would normally require a variance,� Ridley said. Another ordinance amendment would ease parking standards for multi-family developments and senior housing developments. Ridley said the proposal drops the amount of parking stalls required from two to 1.5 per unit and decreases the width standard from 10 feet to 9.5 feet. For senior housing, the requirement is now one stall per unit. The city has received recent requests for changing the parking ratios.

The City Council passed a pair of ordinance amendments to help ease both old and new development within the city. One would increase the maximum Contact Andy Rogers at andy.rogers@ building coverage to 25 percent for resi- ecm-inc.com.

Man charged with damaging ATM after unsuccessful withdrawal A St. Paul man was charged with a felony in Dakota County court after allegedly causing more than $1,000 worth of damage to an ATM at a bank in Eagan after he unsuccessfully attempted to withdraw $60. According to a criminal complaint, Eagan police officers were dispatched to an Eagan bank on a report of criminal damage to property Dec. 14. Nicholas Allen Norton, 36, allegedly attempted to withdraw $60 from the ATM. When the transaction was unsuccessful, he inscribed an inappropriate word with a knife on the machine, according to court documents. He also appeared to tamper with the

card slot and left a note inside the exterior doors stating he would be back for the money in the morning. Surveillance images identified the suspect as Norton, who was contacted Dec. 27. He confirmed it was him on the images and the knife recovered from his vehicle was the one used in the night of the offense. He admitted he was intoxicated that evening. The bank confirmed that damage exceeded $1,000. The charge of criminal damage to property in the first degree (value reduced by more than $1,000) comes with a maximum sentence of five years in jail and a $10,000 fine.

Domestic disturbance ends in suicide in Burnsville by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A domestic disturbance ended in suicide last weekend in Burnsville, according to police. Officers were dispatched shortly after 9 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 30, to a domestic disturbance with reports of rifle

shots fired at a house in the area of Hilltop Road and Circle Drive. Arriving officers learned that a woman who had been inside had gotten out safely, and a man with a rifle was still inside, said a Police Department news release. Police surrounded the house and advised neigh-

bors to stay inside. Throughout the evening and into early Sunday, Dec. 31, officers were unable to make contact with the man. At approximately 3:15 a.m. officers entered the home and found him dead from an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound. According to initial

reports, multiple rifle rounds were fired from inside the home — some of which appeared to have gone through walls, penetrating a neighboring home. No one else was injured during the incident. Nearby homeowners who think their homes may have been damaged by the gunfire are asked

to call Burnsville police investigator Chris Biagini 952-895-4585. Police aren’t releasing the suicide victim’s name pending identification by the Hennepin County medical examiner’s office. In the sub-zero temperatures, police and firefighters were helped by homeowners who provid-

ed shelter and cooperation, police said. Other agencies on the scene were the Dakota County Sheriff ’s Office, the Dakota County Multi-Agency Assistance Group, the Minnesota State Patrol, the Scott and Carver County sheriff ’s offices and Eagan and Bloomington police.
