Busy year ahead at the zoo Officials plan new features, brace for road construction

OPINION

Equal access to education

Expect to see some new additions at the Minnesota Zoo this year. This spring the zoo plans to launch Treetop Adventures, a challenge course for kids, along with bringing back its popular dinosaur exhibit in the summer. Treetop Adventures, which will feature ziplines, will be located outside the zoo’s front gates, and will have no Kevin Willis admission charge. It’s designed to be a permanent installation, according to Kevin Willis, the zoo’s interim director. The dinosaur exhibit, planned for Memorial Day through Labor Day, will be free with regular zoo admission. And while zoo officials are planning new features for guests, getting to the Apple Valley zoo may be a little trickier this spring and summer, with road construction planned on McAndrews Road adjoining the zoo’s main entrance. The zoo will remain open throughout the construction, and road advisories for easiest access to the zoo will be posted at www.mnzoo.org.

Columnist Joe Nathan says that no matter where students live, they should have equal access to choice in what school they attend. Page 4A

Help sought for mounting medical expenses by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Melanie Buetow has been at her son’s bedside for weeks as he fights for life after contracting a deadly illness at the Lakeville restaurant where he worked as a dishwasher. Corey Gutwasser, 25, of Rosemount, remains hospitalized in intensive care at the University of Minnesota where he was admitted Dec. 9 for Legionnaires’ disease. Buetow said the life-threatening form of pneumonia started with a constant headache, then fever, chills and a dry cough. By the time he arrived at the hospital, Gutwasser was unable to breathe enough to walk into the hospital on his own. He was placed on a machine that kept his heart and lungs functioning and was under constant care, according to Buetow. “His lungs were totally full of the pneumonia, and he couldn’t breathe,” Buetow said.“They took my family into the conference room and told us that they didn’t think that he was going to make it through the night.” According to his GoFundMe page, doctors found an infection in his heart and multiple bacteria and fungus in his lungs. He was placed in a medically induced coma, and during sur-

gery Gutwasser suffered a brain hemorrhage. He also developed blood clots in his legs and his right arm and fluid built up Corey around his lungs Gutwasser that required the insertion of drainage tubes. Family members said doctors are also planning to remove some of his toes because there is not enough blood circulation. “They’re black,” Buetow said. “They’re dead. It looks like he was frostbit. ... The doctors had told me before that if that’s all he lost, it’d be a miracle.” Buetow said Gutwasser spent Christmas and his 25th birthday in the hospital, where she has kept vigil daily, only leaving the hospital to shower or go to her job at a local hotel. “I want to be there with him, but I have to go to work because I need a place for him to come home to,” Buetow said. Since first being admitted, Buetow said Gutwasser is slowly taking “baby steps” toward improving. He remains on oxygen support, has a feeding tube and is unable to walk, but he is no longer attached to the heart and lung machine or in the induced coma. Buetow said the road to recovery is a long one and will require a lot of work, including See GUTWASSER, 10A

Lawrence ends bid for DFL’s endorsement Two Democratic candidates remain in the race by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Dr. Mary Lawrence, one of three Democratic candidates vying for endorsement in the 2nd District, announced on Wednesday that she would be ending her campaign. Lawrence, the former executive director of the Center for Vision Excellence in Washington, D.C., said in a statement that she was confident she could win a primary and general election, but not win endorsement through the caucus process. She said her pursuit of the office would deeply divide the party. “That is something that I cannot do in good conscience,” she said. “I am a Democrat, and I am a physician. I have sworn the Hippocratic Oath: ‘First, do no harm.’ To this end, I have decided to end my campaign.” Lawrence brought to the race experience working in the nation’s capital against fellow Democratic candidates Angie Craig, of Eagan, vice president of global human resources at St. Jude Medical, and Roger Kittelson, of Goodhue, a dairy industry veteran. In her role at the center – a collaboration among the Department of Defense, the Department of Veterans Affairs

and other agencies – Lawrence went to the Capitol on several occasions to deliver reports about the center’s work. Lawrence said Mary she remains comLawrence mitted to electing a DFLer in the 2nd District. “Working together, we can elect Democrats up and down the ballot and help Minnesota families get ahead,” she said. DFL Party Chairman Ken Martin, of Eagan, commended Lawrence and her staff for focusing on the issues that face working Minnesotans and their families and for her commitment to electing a DFLer in the 2nd District. “The 2nd Congressional District is home to one of the most contested races in the country, which makes the campaign’s decision to exit the race and put our party and its values first all the more selfless,” Martin said. “Dr. Lawrence has reminded us that this race is first and foremost about restoring opportunity to America’s middle class and strengthening our economy. The DFL Party will carry on Dr. Lawrence’s work to ensure that Minnesota’s 2nd Congressional District will elect a Democrat in November.” The 2nd District is currently served by U.S. Rep.

Vehicle tanked in Lake Marion YouTube video shows sinking vehicle by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Witnesses tried to stop a driver from traveling out onto Lake Marion’s thin ice, but when warnings failed, they videorecorded the car sinking into the lake. The alleged driver, 39 year-old Eric Michael Baker, of Bloomington,

and passenger, Richard Allan Westcott, 34, of St. Paul, bailed out of car windows and ran toward shore before the car completely submerged beneath the icy depths. Both men ran toward the road, leaving witnesses stunned, according to video of the incident posted on YouTube. The video shows Lakeville police locating the suspects near the shore. According to Lake-

ville police records, Baker was transported to the hospital, and Westcott was arrested on a Dec. 17 Anoka County warrant for possession of syringes and needles. Westcott was released after posting $200 bail, according to Anoka County. Court records show Baker has an extensive criminal history involving drugs and driving convictions. The car, a 2002 Chev-

rolet Impala, belonged to a 33-year-old woman from Minneapolis, according to the incident report. A Dakota County park ranger marked where the car went through the ice. The owner has 30 days to have it removed, and if it is not removed, the county dive team would be brought in to remove it. The witnesses said in the video that they were yelling at the driver not

Burnsville landfill in limbo as state seeks deal with landowner by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Closure plans for the Freeway Landfill in Burnsville are in limbo this week, with federal regulators taking steps toward a Superfund action and state officials continuing to seek an accord with the landowner. The window for an agreement with landowner R.B. McGowan Co. to enter the state’s voluntary Closed Landfill program appears to be numbered in days. A proposed $64.4 million state cleanup plan needs to reach Gov. Mark Dayton’s office in time for inclusion in his 2016 bonding request expected on Jan. 15, said Kirk Koudelka, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency assistant commissioner. Meanwhile, the federal Environmental Protection Agency has begun steps toward a Superfund action — a legal proceeding in which the landowner and scores of other “responsible parties� are saddled with the costs of cleaning up contaminated sites. The EPA has requested MPCA records identifying trash haulers, government units and private businesses that dumped garbage at the riverfront landfill west of Interstate 35W. It began collecting trash in 1969 and ceased in 1990. “We’ve turned over the box-

es,� Koudelka said Jan. 4. But at the same time, talks have continued with landowner representative Michael McGowan, Koudelka said. “The first interest is public health and the environment, and getting it into the Closed Landfill Program would be the most expedited way to do that,� Koudelka said. The MPCA and McGowan have missed several EPA-imposed deadlines for reaching a deal, the last on Dec. 15. Koudelka said the MPCA is no longer asking the EPA for deadline extensions. The landfill is one of three among 112 qualified landfills that have yet to enter the Closed Landfill Program, and the one that causes the MPCA the most concern. Impatient with the lack of progress, the EPA has threatened to take control of cleaning up the Superfund site. EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy visited the landfill in May 2014 while in Minnesota. The MPCA proposes to dig up waste in the 140-acre landfill property, which has been in the McGowan family since the mid-1960s, and replace it atop a liner to prevent contaminants from affecting groundwater. Waste on the east side of the property would be relocated to the west, leaving 40 acres of developable land next to the freeway, the MPCA says.

Without the protective liner, groundwater will be endangered once dewatering ceases at the Kraemer Mining and Materials quarry south of the landfill, the MPCA says. Dewatering will end when mining ends, which Burnsville officials say could be 20 years from now. Dewatering has lowered the water table and shifted groundwater toward the quarry. When dewatering ends, the water table will rise to the level of the landfill, leaving some of the waste sitting in groundwater that will be exposed to contaminants such as heavy metals, medical waste, volatile organic compounds and cobalt, the MPCA says. Groundwater will then flow to a lake that will fill the spent quarry and to the Minnesota River, bringing contamination with it, the MPCA says. The groundwater is part of Burnsville and Savage’s drinking water supply. McGowan insists the MPCA analysis is flawed and the landfill is not an environmental threat. He said the latest MPCA counterproposal he received around the Dec. 15 deadline was “not acceptable to the McGowans.� “This game hasn’t been going on for sixth months or a year,� he said of his family’s dealings with the agency, “this game has been going on for 30plus years.�

He said the MPCA overstates the extent of the groundwater rise after dewatering stops. He said monitoring wells the agency drilled last spring extended into the garbage so the agency could “find something.� “And it is also a fact that the PCA staff made up numbers to make it sound worse than it actually is,� McGowan said Dec. 31. “I have empirical information that I am basing my statements on,� he said. The MPCA wells found water and contamination in the waste that is above state pollution standards for either surface or groundwater, the agency contends. McGowan said that the still-active Burnsville Sanitary Landfill west of the quarry also has an unlined portion. “If, in fact, the city and state are concerned about potential impacts in 20 or 25 years once the Kraemer quarry stops dewatering, then why are they not including the Burnsville Landfill, which has an unlined portion of approximately 115 acres, as also being as big a concern for them as the Freeway Landfill?� he asked. McGowan said the MPCA wants him to remove berms around the waste-transfer station the family opened after closing the landfill. Garbage would be removed from under-

neath the berms. But the berms provide floodproofing for the transfer station and are needed to screen it from sight — an original condition of city approval for the station, McGowan said. He said an MPCA-proposed road for the developable land would be flood-prone. McGowan also said he sought a provision in the deal that would prevent a government taking of that land — “being mindful that it is our land� — for a purpose such as a new freeway interchange. “Their proposed remedy puts us out of business and does not give us developable land,� McGowan said. If the EPA takes over the landfill, the number of parties responsible for the cleanup could reach “hundreds, not a handful, of people,� Koudelka said. The EPA would have final say over the cleanup plan. The Closed Landfill Program was created to avoid the legal hassles and prolonged processes of Superfund cleanups, according to the MPCA. “The responsible parties get first crack at determining what the remedy can be. The EPA can approve or deny it if it doesn’t meet its criteria,� Koudelka said. John Gessner can be reached at (952) 846-2031 or email john.gessner@ecm-inc.com.

Opinion Proposed rule unwisely reduces families’ school options by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Thousands of Minnesota families could lose great public school options in 2016. On Jan. 6, a Minnesota administrative law judge will hear new Minnesota Department of Education proposals that could unwisely reduce and restrict school choice for thousands of families. Despite good intentions, MDE’s proposed revisions of state integration rules do not provide clear guidelines for schools, remove options for families of color but not white families, and increase financial inequities between district and charter public schools. Minnesota allows white families to select public schools that are virtually all white. Many families do this. For example: Andover High School (in the Anoka-Hennepin School District) is 92 percent white; the Anoka-Hennepin District is 75 percent white; Edina, 79 percent white; Farmington, 85 percent white; Lakeville, 85 percent white; and Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan, 68 percent white. However, MDE’s proposed new rule takes away the option from black, Hispanic, Asian-American or American Indian families that want to enroll students in public schools that serve mostly students who share their background. Bill Wilson, former Minnesota Hu-

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Joe Nathan man Rights commissioner, is very troubled by the proposed changes. Because he is African-American, Wilson was forced to attend an inferior school when he grew up in Indiana. He founded and directs Higher Ground Academy, a charter school in St. Paul that has won local, state and national awards because of its record with students, virtually all of whom are African-American and from low-income families. He told me: “The proposed rule is racist. It suggests that students of color cannot get a good education unless they are sitting in classrooms that are mostly white. And it denies to families of color the kind of educational choice that white families retain.” Charvez Russell directs the Friendship Academy of the Arts in Minneapolis, another high-performing charter school that serves mostly African-Americans. He believes, “Parents choose our school because they believe it is the best place for not only the academic needs, but the social and emotional needs. ... Without this choice, parents must depend on someone else

making the decision on what educational environment is best for their child.” MDE’s proposed rule says that district or charter schools that enroll 20 percent or more students of color must develop plans that would change the racial composition of their schools. Those plans must be approved by the MDE. But the proposed rule does not include criteria that MDE would use to review plans. For example, the plans would require academic goals. But MDE does not say how much progress is required for it to approve the plan. The proposed rule also increases financial inequities between district and charter public schools. To implement their plans, traditional district schools would receive 70 percent of their funds from the state Legislature and 30 percent from local property taxes. But charter public schools cannot levy property taxes, so it’s not clear how they would raise 30 percent of the money to fund the changes that MDE demands. Many charter advocates question whether MDE has the authority to include charters in the proposed rule change. Eugene Piccolo, director of the Minnesota Association of Charter Schools, wrote via email that Minnesota’s law establishing charter schools states: “A charter school is exempt from all statutes and rule applicable to a school,

school board, or school district unless a statute or rule is made specifically applicable to a charter school or is included in this section.” However, Piccolo believes, “Nowhere in the almost 20-year history of the Desegregation/Integration Program law ... did the Legislature specifically make these laws and Revenue Program applicable to charter schools.” More information about MDE’s proposals is here: http://bit.ly/1JIR8Ud. Some have suggested sending innercity students to suburban districts. That should be an option. But research conducted for MDE shows mixed results for this program. Some years, students transferring to suburban schools made more progress on statewide tests, some years the same and some years less than those who stayed in city public schools. Minnesota must do more to improve schools serving students of color. But increasing financial inequities and reducing options, especially when those options have outstanding results, is not helpful. The administrative law judge should reject MDE’s proposed rule changes. Joe Nathan, formerly a Minnesota public school teacher, administrator and PTA president, is a former director and now senior fellow at the Center for School Change.

Political forecast includes Cruz, Clinton winning caucuses by Don Heinzman SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

So, what should political observers expect in 2016 in the Twin Cities area and the state? I predict the year will be defined by being an election year when jittery voters will look for political medicine to calm themselves. Precinct caucuses in Minnesota will be heavily attended by people crusading for their nominees who will favor Republican Sen. Ted Cruz and Democrat Hillary Clinton; I think Donald Trump will come in a close second in the state caucus ranking. The state Legislature will use some of that $1.98 billion surplus. For sure, the transportation bill will pass without a gas tax because that’s what the voters want, and legislators in the House need

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Don Heinzman to maintain their majorities. Don’t look for any action on gun control measures, even background checks, during an election year and when gun sales in Minnesota are at a record high. Unless there is a local ISIS-initiated disaster, I expect Minnesotans will leave the Muslim population alone and support them. One possibility that has voter appeal in the next session of the Legislature is passing pre-kindergarten opportunities for 3- and 4-year-olds. School districts

also will get some of that surplus money. Republicans will likely seize on issues based on the so-called battle between the metro area and the outstate. They captured some seats last election, but voters, according to some outstate observers, were disappointed in the legislative results. This time around, Democrats won’t be caught sleeping on this strategy, but I predict Republicans will keep their majority in the House. Minnesotans seem to prefer a split Legislature. There will be attempts, I’m sure, to alter MNsure, which enables people to get better insurance rates if they qualify for a government subsidy under the Affordable Care Act. Don’t expect much of a change, though, with Gov. Mark Dayton still in office. Metro area residents, I expect, will demand the Legislature approve enough transportation funding to reduce traffic

jams. While Republicans in particular deride light rail, I predict plans will proceed for new systems. I foresee incumbent legislators being re-elected because they are well-known, not necessarily because they are effective. One interesting race will be in the 2nd Congressional District, where U.S. Rep. John Kline, R-Burnsville, is not running. Look for a close race with a Democrat possibly winning. Finally, I’m certain you will hear a lot of clamor for better urban school education and the need for a metropolitan school system. My Person of the Year for 2016 will be the informed and enlightened voter. Don Heinzman is a columnist for ECM Publishers. He can be reached through editor.thisweek@ecm-inc.com.

Letters The time to act is now To the editor: When will U.S. Reps. John Kline, Tom Emmer and Erik Paulson sponsor the Gibson Agreement? In December, world leaders in Paris unanimously reached an historic pact to slow global warming. So why do Minnesota Republican legislators keep their heads in the sand by not signing on to the Gibson Agreement? Guts. Chutzpah. Courage. Whatever you call it, now is the time for elected officials to show they will act to limit climate change. Put aside partisan differences and see it for what it is: the defining issue of our time and the ultimate threat to humanity. House Resolution 424, authored by U.S. Rep. Chris Gibson, R-New York, recognizes that climate change is a threat, and “Expresses the commitment of the House of Representatives to work constructively on creating

and supporting economically viable and broadly supported solutions to measured changes in global and regional climates.” Eleven more Republican representatives have co-sponsored the resolution, a courageous act. At least 97 percent of publishing climate scientists agree that human causes of global warming and the climate change that results are real — there are 12,500 observed effects that support these conclusions. Experts tell us that we can limit the causes with currently available technologies. The costs of inaction are higher than the costs of action and compounding with each degree of warming. There are small-government, market-based solutions that will drive innovation and create jobs. Our window of opportunity is limited. UN Secretary Ban Kimoon said: “Ours is the last generation who can act to avert the worst impacts of climate change.” Americans share some

very important values: freedom, family, faith, a healthy economy, opportunity, physical security, and a future for our children. Climate change threatens all of these. We must take action to limit this problem. The faster we act, the easier it will be. We ask Kline and all Minnesota representatives to support H.R. 424. The tides of public opinion are rising. The winds of individual and corporate actions are strengthening. There is a sea change taking place. Stand up for America and for the world.

Editorial Board should have diversity To the editor: While I sometimes agree with the ECM Editorial Board’s opinions as published in my local newspaper, I find myself dismayed to see the makeup of the board (Jan. 1). All white! No people of color. The ECM Editorial Board does not represent American society, nor the metro area or its suburbs, in the 21st century. The Twin Cites is made up of 25 percent non-white citizens, the suburbs are 1520 percent people of color. Where is the diversity?

Where is the voice of the people of color? Please, join the 21st century! ROLLIE BIBLE Apple Valley

School Board approves budget, borrowing District 196 plans to borrow from its fund balance to stay in the black by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School Board approved a 2015-16 budget plan that calls for borrowing $8.5 million from the district’s general fund balance to keep the budget in the black. The board unanimously passed the proposal on Jan. 4.

The district’s general fund budget is expected to face an $8.5 million loss in 2015-16, which is double what officials predicted in its preliminary budget in June. General fund revenues are projected to be $328.28 million and expenditures are projected to be $336.35 million next fiscal year. The increased projected shortfall is largely due to a $2 million cut in special education funding from the state, and expenditures that were not accounted for in the preliminary budget, said Jeff Solomon, director of finance and operations for District 196.

Officials expect a $27.5 million deficit in the district’s special education account. Historically, this account has had a $24 million deficit each year. Special education programs are mandated by state and federal law and are funded by a combination of federal, state and district dollars. Whether individual schools planned to spend their left over funds from the previous year or place it in reserves hadn’t been determined when the preliminary budget was drafted. Schools decided to spend this money next year, which accounts for $2.4 million in ex-

penditures that were not in the preliminary budget. The district plans to cover the deficit by reaching into district’s general fund balance. All Minnesota school districts maintain a general fund balance to assist with cash flow. After covering the loss, the general fund balance would total $23.85 million, which is 7.1 percent of general fund expenditures. Board policy requires a fund balance that is at least 5 percent of the general fund expenditures. Based on past performance trends in which the district typically performs better than bud-

get, the district may not have to borrow as much as expected. Last fiscal year, the district planned to borrow from its general fund balance but out performed its projections and contributed $800,000 to the fund instead. District 196 relies heavily on state funding, which accounts for 75.54 percent of its general fund revenues. Property taxes account for 19.18 percent of revenues.

State Sen. Thompson will not run for re-election Plans move to North Carolina by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

State Sen. Dave Thompson, R-Lakeville, announced on Tuesday he will not seek re-election this year because he is moving to North Carolina for a job promotion. Thompson, an attorney, said he will maintain a residence in Senate District 58 and plans to complete his last term in office, which ends January 2017. “I’ll be in the session full time,� Thompson said. “Everything will be normal.� Thompson works as vice president and general counsel for the property management company Renters Warehouse. In his new role, he will oversee the opening of a new corporate office for the company in North Carolina. “We will take the Renters Warehouse model and move it to other states,� Thompson said. A Minnesota native and 18-year resident of Lakeville, Thompson said it is strange to plan such a major move. “When you’ve lived your entire life in one state

it feels a little bit weird to change license plates on your car,� Thompson said. Lakeville Mayor Matt Little announced in September he was running as a Democrat for the seat. In an interview, Little thanked Thompson for his public service and described him as “always honest and up-front.� Little recalled their first political conversation at Lakeville’s Mainstreet Cafe in 2010, shortly after each had won their first election. “We had a conversation about pre-K funding,� Little said. “We had a good debate. We didn’t necessarily agree, but that kind of set the tone for his and my interaction and I’ve always appreciated we could hammer it out.� Little said he has raised over $30,000 in campaign contributions and his campaign is going well. Candidates who may seek the Republican nomination include state Rep. Jon Koznick and Farmington City Council Member Tim Pitcher. In a statement, Koznick, 43, said he was going to focus on his work at hand for now, but did not rule out running for the seat. “A more definitive decision may come at a later

Dave Thompson point,� he said in a news release. Koznick, who worked on Thompson’s 2009 endorsement team, 2010 campaign and managed his 2012 re-election, said Thompson has done an “outstanding� job and to uphold conservative principles. Pitcher, 55, told the newspaper he is “strongly considering� seeking the Republican endorsement for the seat. A former high-tech medical device engineer who retired early, Pitcher said he volunteered extensively for Thompson during his 2014 bid for governor. He credited Thompson for his “selfless and consistent values-based leadership in the Minnesota Sen-

ate,� and said if he decides to seek the seat, he would adhere to “principled fullspectrum conservative leadership.� Thompson said the decision to move out of Minnesota took a lot of family discussion with his wife, Rhonda, and adult children, Amanda and Phillip. He was first elected in 2010 and launched an unsuccessful bid for governor in 2013, dropping out in June 2014. His campaign has over $76,000 in remaining debt, according to campaign finance records. “I’m just going to continue to work on it until I get it paid back,� Thompson said. As a senator, Thompson has proven a staunch advocate of conservative principles of small government, low taxes and is a pro-life advocate. Roz Peterson, R-Lakeville, said in a statement that Thompson’s leadership in the Legislature will be “sorely missed,� and Rep. Pat Garofalo, R-Farmington, described Thompson as “a strong voice for conservatism in the state of Minnesota.� “During his time in office he has consistently put principles over politics, and I feel fortunate to have had him as my state

senator,� Garofalo said in a statement. Thompson said he is most proud of how he has been able to stick to his convictions during his time in office. “I think that whether you agree with me or disagree with me on the issues, you have to admit that I’ve advocated and voted in the Senate exactly the same way I campaigned,� Thompson said. He called serving in this role a “great honor� and said he will miss Minnesota. “I’m going to miss this state,� Thompson said. “I’m going to miss the town. I’m going to miss the people, and I’m just thankful for an opportunity I’ve been given that, as a percentage of the population, very few people get to do.� Thompson was first elected in 2010 earning 63 percent of vote in Senate District 36, which was previously represented by Pat Pariseau, R-Farmington, for many years. He defeated DFLer Steve Quist, who had 36.8 percent. He won re-election in 2012 with 57.6 percent of the vote after redistricting left essentially the same boundaries in the new District 58.

Police: Lakeville man found with needle, meth, banded arm by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A Lakeville man with a long history of drug and impaired driving convictions is charged again for what was found during a Jan. 2 traffic stop in Dundas. A Rice County criminal complaint states Nicholas James Reinhardt, 30, was discovered wearing (beneath a sweatshirt) a shirt with his sleeve rolled up and a blue band tied around his arm. Reinhardt’s arm allegedly had fresh track marks and there

was dried blood on his skin, the complaint said. Reinhardt, who police say was also found with two needles in his possession, had been riding in a car driven by Maria Concepion Renteria, 42, of Faribault. A Dundas police officer pulled over Renteria’s vehicle in Lonsdale after allegedly observing the vehicle swerve out of its lane. Renteria allegedly told police she had been reaching under her seat when the car swerved. The complaint said the officer

noticed the odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle, and Renteria appeared “very excited� and “a little incoherent.� Police reported that she failed field sobriety tests but allegedly told the officer she had not used methamphetamine in four months. A Rice County deputy called in for assistance found two needles on Reinhardt, one that was broken and appeared to have a white substance on it, the complaint said. Reinhardt allegedly said he was holding the needle found in

his pocket for a friend. Police say they found a brown container with marijuana residue inside the car along with a small amount of methamphetamine in a napkin that Reinhardt had been holding. The complaint said officers also found pipes with residue inside a glove and in the car. Both pipes and both syringes allegedly tested positive for methamphetamine. Renteria said she forgot to tell the officers that someone had put drugs in her car, according to the complaint.

She allegedly said she was told from a friends’ friend’s neighbor that someone had borrowed her car and “sprinkled M� (methamphetamine) on the passenger floor. Reinhardt is charged with felony fifth-degree drug possession and misdemeanor possession of hypodermic needle. The charges carry penalties of up to five years in prison and an $11,000 fine, or both. According to court records, Reinhardt has multiple drug and driving convictions dating back to 2003.

Sports Eagles edge STMA at Clash Duals Victory could put wrestlers back at No. 1 in rankings by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Although a Minnesota team did not win the 14th Clash Duals wrestling meet, the results could bring a change at the top of the state Class 3A rankings. Apple Valley defeated St. Michael-Albertville 38-30 in one of the final matches of the national tournament held Jan. 1-2 in Rochester. STMA went into the match ranked first in Class 3A with Apple Valley second. The Eagles went 5-1 in the tournament, with their only loss to eventual Clash champion Buchanan High School of Clovis, California. The loss came on the first day of the event, sending Apple Valley to the second bracket – for teams that went 2-1 the first day – for Saturday’s matches. Apple Valley’s victory in the second bracket is equivalent to fifth place overall in the 32-team field.

The Eagles defeated two Illinois schools, Washington (3027) and Marmion Academy (3227) in their first two matches in the second bracket. Apple Valley led STMA 24-6 after six matches, but the Knights closed the deficit to six points (30-24) with three matches remaining. A decision victory by Tanyi Besong at 220 points and a technical fall by Gable Steveson at 285 put the match out of reach even though STMA won the last match at 106 by fall. Sebas Swiggum (126), Brock Morgan (145) and Mark Hall (170) won by fall against their STMA opponents. Kyle Rathman (132) won by technical fall, Brady Gross (120) won by major decision and Nate Larson (113) won by decision. Next up for Apple Valley is a South Suburban Conference match at 7 p.m. Thursday at Shakopee. It will mark the first time new Shakopee head coach

Jim Jackson has coached against his former team. Jackson was Apple Valley’s head coach from 1995 to 2012, and his teams won 14 state championships during that time.

Eastview retires No. 96 by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Eastview Hockey Association and Eastview High School hockey programs retired Patrick Schoonover’s number 96 in a ceremony before the Lightning boys hockey game against Cretin-Derham Hall on Saturday afternoon. Eastview hockey boosters, donors and chuck-a-puck contestants also raised $1,500 to purchase equipment and supplies for Play for Patrick children’s heart screenings. The next screenings are scheduled Saturday, Jan. 16, at Apple Valley Community Center. For more information about the screenings, visit playforpatrick.org. Patrick Schoonover died Nov. 14, 2014, after collapsing on the ice during a youth hockey game in Brainerd. He was 14. He was found to have heart defects that never had been detected in exams or physicals.

Lakeville native coach at U Minnesota’s search for an offensive coordinator led the Gopher football team to a Lakeville native who will coach in his home state for the first time in more than 20 years. Jay Johnson, a 1988 graduate of Lakeville High School, was named the Gophers’ new offensive coordinator last week. He has spent the previous five seasons as offensive coordinator at the University of Louisiana Lafayette. Under his watch, the Ragin’ Cajuns’ offense set several school records. Johnson also coached the school’s all-time total offense leader, quarterback Terrence Broadway.

After graduating from Northern Iowa – where he was a three-time allconference quarterback – Johnson’s first full-time coaching job was as Augsburg’s offensive coordinator in 1995. He had stops at Truman State, Kansas, Louisville, Central Michigan and Mississippi State before Louisiana Lafayette. “It is a great opportunity to come back home, so to speak. I grew up there and have been a Gopher fan all my life, so to come back home and be closer to family and to be part of a great institution like the University of Minnesota is a very exciting opportunity for me,” Johnson said in an interview published on the University of Minnesota athletic website, gophersports.com. One of the key players on Johnson’s offense in 2016 figures to be another Lakeville native, starting quarterback Mitch Leidner, who was named the Gophers’ most valuable player last season.

1,000 for Mitby

Skiing on actual snow no small feat for SSC Nordic teams Eastview, Eagan teams sweep at Valleywood by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

It took a little bit of work – OK, a lot of work – by coaches and parents, but South Suburban Conference teams finally were able to have a Nordic skiing meet on actual snow Saturday. The meet itself produced few surprises as the favored Eastview girls and Eagan boys won the team competitions. But, even though Valleywood Golf Course was covered by a few inches of snow, it required no small effort to hold a meet there. The task of setting up and grooming a trail fell to ISD 196 coach Brian Abery and the program’s parents. Abery drove his grooming machine while a shovel brigade of parents filled in the thin spots on the trail. They were able to set up a 5-kilometer trail suitable for racing Saturday as many skiers got in their first competition on snow about one month before section meets are scheduled. SSC teams staged a meet on roller skis Dec. 11 at Cleary Lake Regional Park. “I don’t know about

Eastview’s Sydney Hedberg skis the 5-kilometer freestyle race at Saturday’s South Suburban Conference Nordic skiing meet at Valleywood Golf Course. Hedberg helped Eastview place first as a team in the freestyle and classic races. (Photo by Mike Shaughnessy) other teams, but ours would really flounder if not for what the parents do,” Abery said. “Some of them came out the day before the race to shovel snow on the thin spots and put carpeting on the asphalt paths that are on the skiing trail. They really stepped up to support their kids.”

The girls meet was missing two of the South Suburban’s top skiers, Margie Freed of Eastview and Burnsville’s Kelly Koch, both of whom are competing in the U.S. national championships in Houghton, Michigan. Krista Holmstrom, one of Burnsville’s top returning skiers, also did not com-

pete in Saturday’s meet at Valleywood. Eastview senior Annika Martell won the freestyle race in 13 minutes, 36 seconds, and was second in the classic race in 16:06. Kylie Kraemer, another Lightning senior, was second in the freestyle (13:52) and third in the classic (16:25). Eastview senior

Sydney Hedberg was sixth and eighth-grader Gabby Kraemer 10th in freestyle. Abery said he expected his veterans to perform well and added that Gabby Kraemer, a relatively new skier, had a good showing with two top-15 finishes. Separate team scores were kept for both disciplines, with Eastview coming in 23 points ahead of Prior Lake in freestyle and 26 in front in classic. Lakeville North was third in freestyle, with senior Molly Wilson (seventh) and junior Emma Drangstveit (eighth) placing in the top 10. Burnsville senior Johanna Weber finished fourth in freestyle in 14:21. Lakeville South’s Harmony Zweber-Langer and Violet Tessier were 11th and 12th. The ISD 196 girls team, which has skiers from Apple Valley, Eagan, Rosemount and the School for Environmental Studies, had Ruby Carlson, Tess Grunklee and Maddie Matsoff in 21st through 23rd. Burnsville’s Weber also placed fourth in the classic race in 16:54. Lakeville South’s Zweber-Langer and Tessier were sixth and eighth. Wilson of Lakeville North was seventh and her teammate Drangstveit was ninth. Matsoff of ISD 196 was 10th. Juniors Patrick Acton

and Ryan Steger led Eagan to victory in the boys team competition. The Wildcats placed first in both disciplines, with Winona/Winona Cotter – a South Suburban Conference member for Nordic skiing – placing second in each. Acton won the classic race in 12:56 and the freestyle in 11:24. Steger was second in classic in 13:41 and third in freestyle in 11:53. The Wildcats’ Ryan Conroy was sixth in classic and ninth in freestyle. “We were very pleased. Patrick and Ryan skied the type of races we thought they would,” Abery said. Burnsville junior Nate Blichfeldt finished fourth in classic in 14:10 and second in freestyle in 11:45. Lakeville South junior Tyler Haroldson was fifth in classic and seventh in freestyle. The Cougars’ Noah LeVesseur was eighth in freestyle.

GUTWASSER, from 1A physical therapy, speech therapy and swallowing therapy. “The doctors told me he is still not out of the woods,” she said in a text to the newspaper. Buetow said Gutwasser is her only child, has always been in good health and worked full-time as head dishwasher at Babe’s Music Bar since August. Doctors reported Gutwasser’s condition to the state Health Department, which conducted an investigation to determine Gutwasser and another victim, a Babe’s Music Bar patron, contracted the illness at the Lakeville restaurant. Buetow said the other victim reportedly was not as severely affected by the disease as was her son. “They interviewed me and wanted to know all the places he was at,” Buetow said. “They wanted to make sure they shrunk it down and figured out where it came from.” Legionnaires’ disease causes pneumonia and was named after a deadly outbreak of pneumonia in 1976 among people attending a convention of the American Legion, according to the Minnesota Department of Health. The illness is caused by exposure to the Legionella bacteria, Legionella pneumophila, and is

usually contracted by breathing in mist from water that contains the bacteria. The mist in this case is thought to have come from the dish washing area of the restaurant, according to Minnesota Department of Health spokesman Doug Schultz. He said the department advised Babe’s officials, who have fully cooperated with city and state officials, to stop using the restaurant’s dish washing machine and sprayer arm until repairs were completed. Representatives with Babe’s restaurant did not return calls seeking comment. Buetow described Gutwasser as a funny, caring man who loves animals. “He likes to joke a lot,” Buetow said. “He’s like a teddy bear.” She said it is hard to see him suffer. “I was planning his funeral in my head,” she said. “Nobody should have to go through that. I wouldn’t even wish that on my worst enemy. Nobody deserves to see their child go through what he’s going through.” Family members have set up a GoFundMe page at gofundme. com/fsffvdwk. “He has a long road ahead of him,” Buetow said.

ZOO, from 1A the lobby, gift shop and restroom areas. Heart of the Zoo-Phase 1, initiated with funds from a previous bonding bill, included construction of the Target Learning Center and Cargill Environmental Education Center, along with creation of the 3M Penguins of the African Coast exhibit. Other funding requests through the 2016 bonding bill include $11.5 million to address a backlog of repair and replacement projects, and $5 million to plan and build future exhibits and buildings.

Search narrows for permanent director Willis, the zoo’s vice president for biological programs for more than a decade, has served as interim zoo director following the departure in August of longtime zoo director Lee Ehmke, who accepted the position of president and chief executive at the Houston Zoo. Willis reported this week that the zoo’s board of directors has narrowed its search for a permanent replacement for Ehmke to two candidates, and a decision is expected in the near future. An exact date for the announcement hasn’t been set. The names of the two candidates are confidential at this point, Willis said. Email Andrew Miller at andrew.miller@ecm-inc.com.

DISTRICT, from 1A R-Burnsville, who announced in September 2015 that he would not be seeking an eighth term. The 2nd District Angie Craig Republican field includes former Burnsville state Rep. Pam Myhra and four others who live outside the newspaper’s coverage area – South St. Paul engineer David Gerson; political talk David show host Jason Lewis, Gerson of Woodbury; former Red Wing mayor and state Sen. John Howe; and David BensonStaebler, a Morris, Minnesota, resident at the time of his entrance into the race. “I have been over- Jason Lewis whelmed by the support I have received from people across the district and across the country,” Lawrence said. “I am also very fortunate to have such a dedicated and talented staff and am grateful for their work. I thank the people of the 2nd District for offering me the opportunity to run for this seat to represent their voices in Washington.”

Better Business Bureau: New Year’s resolutions for consumers With the start of a New Year comes the chance to start again; the chance to turn the page and begin anew. There’s no better time to resolve to take steps that will protect your personal and financial information. Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota (BBB) offer some simple tips to help you be more prepared in 2016 – for anything that might come your way. “There’s a lot of talk about fresh starts when one year ends and another begins,� said Dana Badgerow, president and CEO of BBB of Minnesota and North Dakota. “But there’s truth to it. Taking those first steps to achieve a goal gets you moving towards your desired

destination.� Simply by implementing these 10 resolutions, consumers can make huge strides towards securing their finances and identity: 1. Check your credit report for free at AnnualCreditReport. com. Review it closely for errors and report any inconsistencies you see. Checking your credit report helps you catch signs of identity theft early. 2. Sign up for the Do Not Call Registry by visiting donotcall.gov/, or by calling 1-888382-1222. This should reduce the number of telemarketing calls you receive at home. You can also register your cellphone number on this list. 3. If you’re looking to cut

down on the amount of unsolicited offers you receive through the mail, visit dmachoice.org/. 4. Dispose of older bank and credit card statements, expired credit cards and unwanted credit card solicitations securely by shredding them with a crosscut paper shredder. 5. When using public Wi-Fi connections, don’t make any purchases or share any sensitive personal information. Public means public, and fraudsters are known to frequent Wi-Fi hotspots. Always verify the network before accessing it. 6. If you receive an offer or solicitation, research the company or charity for free with Better Business Bureau at bbb. org or 800-646-6222.

7. Never respond to phone calls or emails asking to “verify� your personal information. Your bank, your credit card provider, the IRS – none of these organizations will call or email asking for your confidential information. They already have it on file. 8. Secure or lock sensitive personal documents around your home, especially if you have roommates, employ outside help or are having work performed in your home. 9. Don’t store credit card numbers or other financial information on your smartphone or tablet. Add a passcode lock (or security password) on your smartphone or tablet. 10. Change your email and

social media passwords and “beef up� your security by creating hard to crack passwords. Choose passwords that are easy for you to remember but difficult for others to guess. Incorporate a combination of numbers, capital letters and symbols. Avoid using the same password for all of your accounts, and never share your passwords with anyone else. Though it’s nearly impossible to protect yourself completely from fraud and schemes, consumers who take these steps will be doing a lot to keep themselves safe and secure in the coming year. Contact the BBB at bbb.org or 651-699-1111.
