Tim Pawlenty, former Minnesota governor and presidential candidate, and current president and CEO of the Financial Services Roundtable in Washington, D.C., visited the Apple Valley Chamber of Commerce on Thursday, Nov. 16. Although Pawlenty flew in from D.C. for the event, he was familiar with the area, as he got his political start in Dakota County. He was a member of Eaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Planning Commission and was elected to the Eagan City Council at age 28. In 1992, he won a seat representing District 38B in the Minnesota House of

Weekly jams at AV Legion will connect musicians south of the river SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Ace Barton thinks of himself as a semi-retired musician. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lived in Apple Valley for 32 years, and while he still wants to play, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting too hard for him to go to late-night gigs in the Twin Cities. Barton said many other musicians find themselves in a position where they want to continue playing, but canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find the time or work out the logistics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the metro area, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thousands of very good amateur and professional musicians, and many of them donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a chance to play because of other requirements â&#x20AC;&#x201C; family, career â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t commit to a band. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have time,â&#x20AC;? he said. To compensate, many musicians have been performing at open mic-style jam sessions throughout

the Twin Cities. They can play one or two songs instead of a full show, and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to have a complete band to play, as the house band can fill in as necessary. While there are popular jams in north metro â&#x20AC;&#x201D; St. Paul, Minneapolis, White Bear Lake and Northeast Minneapolis, to name a few â&#x20AC;&#x201D; there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much south of the Mississippi. Barton said he knows many local musicians who want something in the southern suburbs because they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to travel long distances at night, especially in the winter. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Barton and several other local musicians are working together to host The Apple Jam â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a weekly jam session held at the Apple Valley legion. Lindsey Green, manager of the Apple Valley American Legion, said Barton came in one day and suggested the idea.

Uponor offers Registered Apprenticeships program Photo submitted

In conjunction with National Apprenticeship Week, Uponor was recognized on Wednesday, Nov. 15 for its new Registered Apprenticeship program. Uponor developed the program in partnership with the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry (DLI) and the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED). It is designed to help recruit, train and retain skilled workers in the midst of the skilled labor shortage. Uponor will soon begin accepting candidates for a three-year program in the maintenance department, an area where it is particularly challenging to find qualified employees. Sen. Gregory D. Clausen (DFL), DLI Commissioner Ken Peterson, Deputy Commissioner Jessica Looman and members of the Apple Valley City Council attended the ceremony in Apple Valley. Jon Sillerud, Uponor North Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vice president of operations, expressed his optimism for the Registered Apprenticeship program to help Uponor support its rapid growth and aggressive goals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is challenging to get the people that we need to support our progress,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This program is a great way to cultivate our own resources by training people in the maintenance skills that are in very short supply.â&#x20AC;?

Legion recognizes teachers and staff with Apple Day Veterans donate 4,400 apples to District 196 employees by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Bob Nelson is trying to let teachers know just how much their work is appreciated, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing it one apple at a time. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the organizer of Apple Day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Apple Valley Legionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual national Education Week celebration, which involves giving an apple to every teacher, staff member and employee of the Rosemount-Apple ValleyEagan School District. On Thursday, Nov. 16, American Legion Post 1776 donated and delivered 4,400 apples to employees of School District 196. Each year, Nelson obtains a list from the district office of the number of employees working at each of the 37 Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District schools. Then he divides the schools into nine routes and sends groups of volunteers with boxes of apples, purchased from Pepin Heights Orchard in Lake City, to each group of schools. The volunteers are

members of the Apple Valley Legion who get together on Thursday mornings for coffee. Nelson said some of these men are in their late 80s and early 90s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are the backbone of the whole delivery process,â&#x20AC;? Nelson said. Although theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve named themselves the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grumpy Old Men,â&#x20AC;? they were chipper on Thursday morning as they headed out on their routes. While most of the volunteers got to the legion around 8 a.m. and began delivering apples between 9 and 10 a.m., some of them began their routes as early as 5:30 a.m. to make sure all the bus drivers got apples before they left to pick up students. The legion members spent the morning placing apples in teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mailboxes and delivering them to District 196 staff. After theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d finished their routes, the volunteers returned to the legion for a light lunch before heading home. The event wrapped up around noon this year. Nelson said things went smoothly, due in part to

good weather. He said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had to cope with rain or snow in past years. The Apple Day tradition began nearly two decades ago. Former legion kitchen manager Vern Spindler used to deliver apples to teachers in the district each year by himself. As the number of schools and staff members increased, he realized he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it on his own and got some of the other people at the legion to pitch in. Jack Metzger is one of the volunteers who helps deliver the apples, and he said one of the things that makes the tradition so special is the relationships the volunteers have formed with the schools over the years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We go to the same schools every year now. They know us,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have the same routes and we get to know the principals and people â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun.â&#x20AC;?

He said the teachers often tell him how appreciative they are for the recognition. Nelson said it is those connections that make this tradition so important. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good relationship between the Legion Post and Apple Val-

Local officials discuss opioid epidemic

Treatment access, prevention, enforcement key pieces

by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Galaxie Library opened in 1990, and though some of the uses of the library have changed over the past 27 years, the building has undergone only a few renovations to keep up to date with patronsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; needs. This winter, the Galaxie Library will undergo a complete remodel. The project has been in the works for over a year. The Library Advisory Committee completed and revised a needs assessment on Aug. 18, 2016, which took into account findings from a public survey and staff survey. The County Board of Commissioners approved the needs assessment a month later. Consultants from Bentz/Thompson/Rietow have helped design the new space, and Dakota County Senior Project Manager Andrea Weber said the planning process has gone smoothly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The plans have come together pretty well. They havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed a whole lot. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a matter of picking out the special details that will make it a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; space,â&#x20AC;? Weber said. The bid for construction will open on Thursday, Dec. 7, and the library hopes to award the bid by the first board meeting of the year, on Tuesday, Jan. 2. Weber said the design team is working to keep the library open to patrons during construction. To do this, the Galaxie Library will partition off an area near the front of the building to provide access to several of the libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resources while the rest of the building is remodeled. The library staff will set up the temporary space during the month of January as the board finalizes the contract. During construction, library staff and law library staff will remain available to assist patrons. There will be a small area for people to work and access the libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s free Wi-Fi. Patrons will also be able to check out Chrome Books to use on-site. People will still be able to check out books by requesting them online and picking them up, or by browsing a small selection that the library staff will curate. All programming, such as Story Time, will move to other library locations until construction wraps up. Library Director Margaret Stone said she encourages people to visit nearby libraries during the Galaxie remodel for any other resources they may need.

Get those addicted to opioids in treatment. That was the theme among several Dakota County officials on the front line of the crisis, who met Nov. 15 at the Eagan Fire Department to discuss the issues. The forum was an opportunity for U.S. Sen. Amy Klobucharâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff to hear ideas on how to deal with the opioid crisis. The panel agreed that better access to treatment, including both drug addition treatment and mental health treatment, was imperative. Dr. Jim Stowell, who said he works at Fairview Ridges Hospital in Burnsville and the Urgency

Room in Eagan, repeatedly said they come across patients who would greatly benefit from treatment but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t receive it due to a lack of funds. Others said there was a disconnect with the insurance industry. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cheaper to pay for prescription drugs than it is for insurance companies to pay for treatment. Jessica Hultgren, listed as an advocate on the panel, said her husband, Chris, who died of an oxycodone overdose in 2016, said he was prescribed the drug by two different doctors following an injury. The drugs he eventually overdosed on were filled via prescription. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Under the care of two providers he was receiving oxycodone concurrently,â&#x20AC;?

Opinion Sexual harassment can no longer hide by Keith Anderson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A couple weeks ago when a pair of state legislators were accused of sexual harassment and making unsolicited advances toward women, the front of our brains may have been surprised, but somewhere near the back, where we tuck away the pieces of information that nag and perhaps know we someday must address, reality had become too great to ignore. The accusations in the Legislature are just a pair of pebbles in an ever-growing pile of recent accusations against men that have rocked the country, touching nearly every level of our society. Still, in 2017 it’s difficult to believe that sexual harassment is occurring with such apparent frequency. Maybe that is the real surprise, that it seems to be occurring more often than many of us may have realized. The question of how it survives in an environment where we all expect respectful and professional dialogue and idea sharing is perhaps what makes it even more appalling. But respectful dialogue and the equal sharing of ideas is something that has been eroding in our state and federal houses of leadership for decades. In fact, it’s reached a point today where many folks expect political dysfunction over function. We see it played out year after year at the state and federal level. It even occurs at the local level. But before we cast a wide net, not every

Staff Columnist

Keith Anderson legislator, movie producer, actor, candidate, priest, superintendent or journalist is an abuser. In fact, the vast majority are not. But what is clear is that there are far too many people in leadership positions that have been allowed to abuse their powers and they have left a path of destruction as a result. The argument that lewd comments about and toward women is nothing more than the locker room vulgarity that all men participate in when they walk through the doors at the health club is insulting. It is further proof of just how out of touch these men are. That’s so far from being a defensible argument that those who have used it clearly have not advanced mentally beyond puberty. The harassment being described by some of the women who recently have spoken out sounds a lot like it is being perpetrated by men with insecurities who are compensating by using positions of power and authority to control discussions, legislation, and more importantly, the women who have been abused. If the person delivering the abuse or harassment is the very person who con-

trols the potential destiny of those who serve under him, imagine the strategies women must employ to ever have a chance at having their ideas heard by the decision-makers. So much wasted energy devoted to “workarounds” because of abusive men. That’s the challenge many of these women have faced as it relates to their careers. The defilement, humiliation, embarrassment, anger and resentment that they’ve been forced to endure because of the actions of various men is morally reprehensible. It’s astonishing that women would need to worry and face sexual harassment in today’s workplace. State and federal leaders have already said they’ll be employing sexual harassment training for elected officials, which is a good first move. Accountability is an absolute necessity if we are ever going to correct this behavior. But it also takes good people to step up and speak out when they see any hint of it happening. It’s hard to believe that somebody, somewhere along the way did not hear or see signs of these men being abusive. Defending a fellow human being when he or she is being abused, whether that be verbal or physical, is an absolute base-level responsibility we all share. The Marine Corps motto “Semper Fidelis” would be well applied in the halls of government buildings, but also in our workplaces. It means, “always faithful.” We must be faithful to ourselves, but also to those

around us. That means defending them when they need our help. But this is much bigger than just sexual harassment. This is about bullying, abuse of power, and an entitled attitude that many people feel when they reach certain positions or seniority. Here’s the wakeup call, folks. Your title doesn’t amount to a hill of beans if you don’t treat people with respect. Your title is not a license to violate social norms or laws; it is a responsibility that has been entrusted to you. How you conduct yourself is the only true measure of your worth as an individual. If this is how you would treat your mother, sister, wife or daughter then somewhere along the way you derailed. Why is it all bubbling to the surface now? Because it can and because it’s necessary. We are apparently finally ready to start addressing some of these issues as a society. It’s ugly, embarrassing and glaringly obvious that we have buried this issue for many years. But now that we are finally ready to talk about it and take action to correct a decades-long disease, maybe we can finally prevent it from happening in the future and begin a healing process for those who have been abused. And maybe, just maybe, we’ll get it right this time and women won’t be left with the scars of our inaction. Keith Anderson is director of news for ECM Publishers.

Thanks to passionate, practical families, students and educators by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

One of America’s finest traditions encourages us to pause late in the year, regardless of current controversies, to offer thanks. This year, in addition to giving thanks to God and my family, I’d like to recognize a few of the many wonderful families, students, educators and legislators who have helped Minnesota students and schools make progress. Let’s begin with educators who reached across boundaries and barriers to put students first. Some of them come from national “Blue Ribbon” schools, selected by the U.S. Department of Education as among the finest in the country. Nell Collier, of Friendship Academy of the Arts (charter) in Minneapolis, Sam Fredrickson, Birchview Elementary School (district) in Plymouth, and Debra Lach, DaVinci Academy of Arts and Sciences (charter) in Ham Lake, agreed to share some of the strategies they’ve used to make a difference with district and charter educators.

Teacher union leaders like Don Sinner of Lakeville, Lynn Nordgren of Minneapolis and Denise Rodriguez of St. Paul worked with Lars Esdal of Education Evolving, Julene Oxton, of Lakeville Public Schools, and Lisa Snyder, formerly Lakeville superintendent, now director of EdVisions Schools, which serves as the fiscal agent for CSC, where

I work. These “teacher led” schools providing opportunities not only for students and families, but they also allow educators to create the kinds of public schools that they think will be most helpful to students. This is another Minnesota innovation that is spreading throughout the country. More information here https://www.teacherpowered. org and here: http://edvisions.org. We would have much less progress without legislators willing to work across party lines. So, thanks to Sen. Greg Clausen, DFL-Apple Valley; Rep. Sondra Erickson, R-Princeton; Rep. Jenifer Loon, R-Eden Prairie; Rep. Carlos Mariani, DFL-St. Paul; Rep. Roz Peterson, R-Lakeville; Sen Carla Nelson, R-Rochester; Sen. Chuck Wiger, DFL-Maplewood, and Rep. Linda Slocum, DFL-Richfield. These folks put people above party. Minnesota parents and students helped convince legislators to expand new dual high school/college credit opportunities. Young people like Catalina Anampa of Minnetonka and Aaliyah Hodge from St. Louis Park joined families like the Jensens from St. Francis and the Westras from Fulda. Kenneth Eban at Student for Education Reform-Min-

nesota, and Daniel Sellers of Ed-Allies, and their colleagues, helped organize Minnesotans to seek improvements not only for K-12, but also in colleges and universities. Though we don’t always agree (and I don’t expect that), Josh Collins and Brenda Cassellius at the Minnesota Department of Education, Larry Pogemiller and Sandy Connolly at Minnesota Office of Higher Education, along with Denise Specht and Chris Williams at Education Minnesota, were extremely responsive when I asked for information. The same is true of district and chartered public school leaders throughout the state. Finally, a huge thanks to readers of this column. Hundreds of you wrote to me. Whether you agreed, disagreed, questioned or challenged, you helped me learn and I hope helped make this column more useful. Best wishes to each of you and your families.

Letters Say ‘thank you’ to area veterans To the editor: We are coming to the end of November Military Appreciation Month. Please thank our military families for the sacrifices they make to protect the freedoms we enjoy this Thanksgiving day. Each week many Apple Valley residents receive a free Sun Thisweek designed to inform us about local events. I visit the newspaper on a regular basis with articles to publish and can see that with a limited staff the paper exists only with the hard work of leadership, good reporters and support staff. The papers contribute each week to the continued success of our cities. I offer special thanks

to Tad Johnson, managing editor, and the staff for the many stories, but particularly for the numerous articles about our National Guard, active and retired military during Military Family Appreciation Month. The coverage far exceeded the two metropolitan papers. This Thanksgiving day we can enjoy time with family and friends knowing that 13,000 National Guard members in Minnesota are protecting us. As we sit down for Thanksgiving dinner let us remind ourselves of all these men and women have done to protect us. On Thursday, Nov. 16, the Apple Valley Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Network, led by president Paul Chellsen, held its 21st monthly free dinner for 120 veterans and their families. The newspaper’s coverage

increased attendance and helped more people understand what Yellow Ribbon is all about. The newspaper covered the events at the Apple Val-

ley American Legion Post 1776 including their meals for veterans and many other events under the leadership of Post Cmdr. Carla Tappainer. On Nov. 10, the newspaper devoted almost a full page to Gov. Mark Dayton installing Maj. Gen. Jon A. Jensen, a 17-year resident of Apple Valley, as adjutant general of the Minnesota National Guard. A reporter’s half-page article Nov. 17 about Apple Valley High School’s Veterans Assembly was well written and outstanding. Thanks to all who were involved with the assembly and the event was

an inspiration to students. Thank you for your paper’s coverage of our great city and your dedication to honoring our military. You make a big difference. Happy Thanksgiving. WILLIAM H. TSCHOHL Apple Valley Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Network director

Holiday food, life-threatening allergies To the editor: With the holidays coming up, many people worry

about a lot of things. Like: What presents do I buy for my family? What food should I bring to a party? How am I going to get my Christmas lights up before next week? For most people, an allergy is not one of those things. I have had a lifethreatening peanut allergy since I was born and a few others I have outgrown over time. A lot of anxiety has come from having this allergy and ruined some parties and events for me. If you know someone with an allergy is coming to a party or event you are hosting, put some cautions into place. Don’t say: “Just don’t eat it if you’re allergic to it,” because, as many people have said that to me, my fear of cross-contamination gets worse and is what is making me cautious, not that I’ll eat something with it in it. When the person is coming to your party be sure to let them know that you separated the food with the allergen from the food without it and show them what they can have, rather then what they can’t. Imagine that of all of the food on a table at Thanksgiving, a couple of dishes were poisonous and you didn’t know which ones. This is what it may feel like to someone like See LETTERS, 5A

She is a resident of New Perspective-Eagan. Seven winning designs were selected from more than 100 entries across the organization. The winning artwork was created by residents ranging in age from 65 to 95. Six of the winning designs are being transformed into sets of Christmas cards that will be used by each of New Perspectiveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residences for the

2017 holiday season. A seventh design will be used for holiday cards for the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eden Prairiebased Resource Center. Winners were selected based on overall impression and impact, memorability and inspiration to others. Judging was conducted by a committee representing various disciplines within the company. In addition to seeing their winning artwork transformed into a Christmas card, each of the winners received a $100 Visa gift card.

tant to focus on what is actually being proposed. The proposed tax plan doubles the standard deduction and greatly increases the amount of income that will be subject to no income tax at all. The plan slashes rates, so that average families will get to keep more of the income that is being taxed. It also includes a large expansion of the child tax credit, providing much needed support to families working to support their children. Middle class families around the country are struggling to pay their mortgage, raise their kids and put them through school, and pay back debt from student loans. These changes will allow these families to keep more of their own money in their pockets. The plan is also good for business. It includes reductions to the corporate tax rate that will make America competitive with the rest of the world, encouraging businesses to invest in this country (and yes, that includes jobs). Businesses that have cash overseas must currently pay up to 35 percent to bring it back onshore and spend it in America. The plan calls for removing those penalties, and encouraging them to bring that money home. It will be an outstanding thing for the economy if Congress sticks to an outline that benefits the middle class and gives business a shot-in-the-arm. Lowering taxes on the middle class will increase demand and lowering taxes on businesses will reduce their costs. This will lead to economic growth, and new opportunities that benefit everyone. These are the outlines of a plan that should gar-

Tax bill a step in the right direction To the editor: I must admit I am often susceptible to wanting perfect solutions to big problems. It seems weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all frustrated at the number and scope of issues that need attention and redirection. Many of us are prey to â&#x20AC;&#x153;the perfect is the enemy of the goodâ&#x20AC;? when tackling complicated situations. In that light, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been reminded that we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have overnight corrections to things that have developed over years and years of neglect or mismanagement. The House tax bill isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a perfect solution but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a beginning. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve expressed my concerns about the House tax bill to 2nd District U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis and he has explained his position and vote. His reasoning is educated and comes from the heart to try to find workable and meaningful solutions that will help people. Simply put, Lewis has taken action to unravel the current complexities and unfairness in the current code. While I have trepidation on what the Senate might do and how the entire result might be, I have confidence in Lewis to keep up the fight for the best solution possible. I want to thank him for the energy he has devoted to this effort and encourage him to keep a clear focus for the taxpayer. Simplification, transparency and fairness is what we all want and the House tax bill is one means to get to a better result. I thank Lewis and encourage him to keep up the fight.

To the editor: A letter on Nov. 10, authored by Mike Fedde, must be the most marvelous bit of mendacity and slanted expository writing ever. This perfidious misleading diatribe has to be the result of some phantasmagoria shared by no other person of reason. In this letter, a claim that U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis voted to increase taxes on the citizens of Minnesota belies extant findings and is a treacherous calumny unadorned by facts. The bill Lewis helped frame is the quintessential plan that has always helped the American economy to boom. Furthermore, Lewisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ongoing efforts to cut the bloated federal bureaucracies will put more money into the pockets of taxpayers where it will fructify to everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advantage. Most encouraging to taxpayers is the realization that the Tax Reform bill will double the standard deductions. Furthermore, an increase in the child tax credit will be a boon for about 30 percent of taxpayers. By doubling the standard deduction, the bill increases the number of people who will be in the zero percent tax bracket which most helps low income earners. Additionally, the proposed tax cuts for businesses will provide entrepreneurs with great incentives to invest and increase the size of the work force. The Congressional Budget Office has projected huge economic growth which will cause a concomitant increase in wages. It is essential to understand that the only way to overcome our huge deficit is to do everything possible to spur economic growth. This is why Lewis

is a supporter of the tax reform bill that has passed in the House. Hopefully, before anyone attempts to persuade more readers with errant messages, they will use all the facts and give us the whole story.

County public health director receives leadership award Bonnie Brueshoff, Dakota County public health director, has received the 2017 Barbara Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Grady Excellence in Public Health Nursing Leadership Award from the Local Public Health Association of Minnesota. Brueshoff has been a public health leader for more than 35 years. For the past nine years, she has served as director of the nationally accredited Dakota County Public Health Department, where she leads more than 100 staff in serving the third largest county in Minnesota. Brueshoffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expertise and leadership have made significant contributions to public health nursing and the health of communities at the local, state, and national levels. For example, she currently leads Dakotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Birth to Age 8â&#x20AC;? initiative, which brings essential partners and services together across sectors to assure children reach key developmental milestones from birth to age 8. She was instrumental in her agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response to the 2009-10 H1N1 outbreak and led the development of the 10 Steps Process for Breastfeeding Friendly Health Departments, which has since been recognized nationally as a model practice. She also is a founding member of the Henry Street Consortium, a collaboration of health departments and schools of nursing in Minnesota that has developed a partnership engagement model exploring best practices for nurse educators and agency public health nurses to pre-

SUN THISWEEK - Apple Valley Nov. 24, 2017 7A

News Brief BBB: Cyber Monday lures shoppers with web of discounts After Black Friday and Small Business Saturday, many shoppers crawl the web on Cyber Monday to find online specials. Cyber Monday, the Monday that falls after Black Friday, has become its own tradition, with eager consumers looking to score bargains on merchandise carried over from the holiday weekend. Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota (BBB) offers their top 10 tips for people looking to shop online safely, be it on Nov. 27, or throughout the year. Last year, according to Forbes, Cyber Monday sales amounted to $3.45 billion in sales, making it the biggest day ever in U.S. e-commerce history. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re planning on doing some shopping this Cyber Monday, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some advice to help ensure secure transactions. 1. Protect your computer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Your computer should always have the most recent updates installed for spam filters, anti-virus and anti-spyware software

and a secure firewall. 2. Stick to trustworthy websites â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Research the sellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation and track record for customer satisfaction at bbb. org. Look for BBBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seal and other widely-recognized â&#x20AC;&#x153;trust marksâ&#x20AC;? on retailer websites. Always remember to click on the seals to confirm that they are valid and check out customer reviews online, including those offered by Better Business Bureau. 3. Protect your personal information â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Take the time to read the privacy policy of websites you visit and understand what personal information is being collected and how it will be used. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see a privacy policy posted, be aware your information may be sold without your permission. 4. Beware of deals that sound too good to be true â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Offers found on lesstraveled websites and in unsolicited emails sometimes advertise suspiciously low prices. When visiting a website, look for misspellings and grammatical errors, as these are signs the site might be fraudulent. Also, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enter phrases such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;best dealsâ&#x20AC;? into search engines, as scammers might be lying in wait.

5. Make sure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting a real deal. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a good idea to comparison shop, even on and leading up to Cyber Monday. Make sure the deal youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re considering is actually a deal. 6. Confirm your online purchase is secure â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Shoppers should always look in the address box for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;sâ&#x20AC;? in https:// and in the lower-right corner for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;lockâ&#x20AC;? symbol before paying. 7. Pay with a credit card â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often best to use a credit card, because under federal law, the shopper can dispute the charge if he or she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t receive the item. Shoppers also have dispute rights if there are unauthorized charges on their credit card or merchandise they receive arrives damaged. 8. Keep documentation of your order â&#x20AC;&#x201C; After completing the online order process, there should be a final confirmation page or the shopper might receive confirmation by email. Save a copy of that as well as any emails for future reference and as a record of your purchase. 9. Check your credit card statements often â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait for paper statements; BBB recommends consumers check

their credit card statements for suspicious activity by checking statements online regularly or by calling their credit card companies if fraud is suspected. 10. Beware of phishing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Legitimate businesses do not send emails claiming problems with an order or a past transaction to lure the â&#x20AC;&#x153;buyerâ&#x20AC;? into revealing financial information. If a consumer receives such an email, avoid clicking on any links or attachments. Simply delete the email. Stay calm, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t panic and always protect your personal and financial information. Consumers should also be aware that, by law, a seller should ship your order within the time stated in its ad or posted on its website. If the seller doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t promise a delivery date, you can expect the item to be shipped within 30 days. If the seller is unable to ship the item within the promised time, they must notify you, provide a revised shipping date and offer you the chance to either cancel for a full refund or accept the new shipping date.

PAWLENTY, from 1A of them. On average, doctors have a 50 percent success rate for correctly identifying the condition upon the first diagnosis, and even the best doctors only have about a 70 percent rate of successful first diagnoses. He said there are already computers, such as Babylon and IBMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Watson, that have success rates of 70 percent or higher for the first diagnosis. Pawlenty described a future in which people could scan themselves with their iPhones in their homes, send the data to a supercomputer for analysis, receive a diagnosis, request that a drone deliver medicine to their doorsteps and have the medicine all before finishing breakfast. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That sounds like â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Star Trek,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; but that future, or pars of it, will be available inside of 10 years,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of it already is.â&#x20AC;? The first Industrial Revolution was the adFRAUD, from 1A closure. The lender agreed to the arrangement. On Aug, 22, 2011 he sold the house, located at 7715 Gibraltar Terrace, to Traci Quam (now Traci Jacobson), his girlfriend at the time. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d offered $365,000 to purchase the home. Although he submitted an Affidavit of Armâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Length Transaction to the lender, Jacobson continued to live in the house after the transaction. By Oct. 1, 2011, real estate agent Roger Quam â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Traci Jacobsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father â&#x20AC;&#x201D; put the house on the market. In December 2011, Traci Jacobson sold the Gibraltar Terrace house for $538,000. According to the complaint, OPIOID, from 3A lies, friends and even other health care workers, particularly mental health providers. Many members of the forum also advocated for better access to mental health resources because addiction often goes hand in hand with mental illness. Stowell said many patients who want treatment are stuck without insurance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Insurance companies want to make money as much as they can,â&#x20AC;? Stowell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of people we can help, but nobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paying for it. The resources arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there.â&#x20AC;? Mel Poehler, of New Seasons, said private insurance can have barriers to care, particularly if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outstate. The Affordable Care Act has helped, Crain said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When that happened, we saw it everywhere in all treatment programs,â&#x20AC;? Crain said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It does provide access.â&#x20AC;? Opioid addiction hits all walks of life. Poehler said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seeing

vent of steam power. The second was the concurrent development of electricity and the internal combustion engine. The third was the dawn of the Internet, and the fourth is the advent of nextgeneration technology â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including biotechnology, nanotechnology and artificial intelligence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing artificial about it. Very smart humans have developed algorithms that are able to absorb and monitor massive amounts of data,â&#x20AC;? Pawlenty said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the algorithms are able to monitor the patterns in the data and predict the next iteration or development or event in the data before it actually happens.â&#x20AC;? He explained that over time, the machine will be able to take what it has observed and adjust itself â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in essence, writing its own algorithms without human intervention. Pawlenty showed several examples of this technology already at work, such as a video of a robot that can 3D print

a house and drones that can save lives by delivering blood to rural areas in a fraction of an hour. He also spoke about transportation, showing a video of a small airplane that can land and take off vertically like a helicopter but flies horizontally like a plane. He said the aircraft has already been developed to be summoned from an app, like an Uber. While this new technology will bring with it many benefits, Pawlenty cautioned that it is going to have large impacts on the job market. He said Forester Research recently found that automation will eliminate 6 percent of all jobs by 2021. He cited a study from Ball State University saying that 88 percent of all jobs lost over the last five years were not lost due to trade or foreign competition, but due to automation. Pawlenty said manufacturing, construction and white-collar data analysis jobs will all be at risk in the coming years,

and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worried about Minnesotans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Minnesota has always prospered because we are an innovative state,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problem is we get complacent. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good here, so when things are good people get complacent. This future is going to unfold so quickly and so dramatically that its going to be difficult to navigate.â&#x20AC;? Pawlenty said Apple Valley has done some great work on transportation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Apple Valley has done a really exemplary job in forward-looking transportation and infrastructure policies,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your city leaders and business community have worked together great on a number of those initiatives.â&#x20AC;? He also said the state as a whole has the resources for success. He touted Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diverse, robust economy, which he said includes food and food processing, health and health technology, more Fortune 500 companies per capita

than any other state, mining in the north and the Mayo Clinic in the south. He offered four solutions to help Minnesota innovate in preparation for the changing workforce. First, he said Minnesotans need to increase efforts to train and educate children in science, technology, engineering and math. Second, he said workforce training in general needs to become more coordinated and nimble. Third, he said Minnesotans need to emphasize and celebrate trades and jobs that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be automated, such as the hospitality, plumbing and electrical tracks. Last, he said rethinking post-secondary education to align with future employment opportunities is a must. This is a message Pawlenty is carrying statewide. That same afternoon, he gave a similar presentation in Bloomington to the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce. While he was governor, Pawlenty spoke four

times to the Apple Valley Chamber of Commerce, according to chamber President Ed Kearney. One of his most memorable visits, Kearney said, was in 2007 during the recession when he addressed more than 70 people about where and how to find jobs. This was Pawlentyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first presentation at the chamber as a private citizen. Kearney said Pawlentyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s message was relevant because he spoke from a business, rather than political, perspective. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was very impressed. I felt it was very nonpartisan. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerned about the future of Minnesotans â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Minnesotans on both sides of the aisle,â&#x20AC;? Kearney said. Kearney said he plans to hold a discussion about some of Pawlentyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ideas at the chamberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next meeting, scheduled for the second week of December.

she received a check for $226,793.06, which she deposited into her bank account and used to purchase a new house in the 15700 block of Cobblestone Lake Parkway in Apple Valley for $552,500. Once the transactions were finalized, Sam and Traci Jacobson got engaged. They were married in June 2013 and remained in the Cobblestone Lake Parkway house. Jennifer Jacobson, Samuel Jacobsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exwife, notified authorities of the situation, and Samuel and Traci Jacobson were charged by summons in August 2016. On Monday, Nov. 13, 2017, their charges were amended in court. Count I, theft by false representation over $35,000, will

be dismissed in January. Count II, theft by swindle over $35,000 was amended to residential mortgage fraud. Samuel pled guilty to residential mortgage fraud over $35,000, and Traci pled guilty to aiding and abetting. Both Samuel and Traci Jacobson will be sentenced Jan. 27, 2018. Jacobson is best known for his success playing basketball in college for Gophers at the University of Minnesota, and professionally for the Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves. He also played professionally in Italy in 2007.

NASA, from 1A

building,â&#x20AC;? Ehlert said. This is the first year NASA has chosen a high school to participate in this type of project. St. Thomas participated in a NASA micro-gravity University for Educators program last spring and the teachers went to present on the studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; behalf. The program caught NASAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention. It asked St. Thomas to participate in the SOAR program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those things where they are trying to get high school students involved,â&#x20AC;? Mark Westlake said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve set the parameter and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very attuned to our experience. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beneficial for the stuContact Amy Mihelich at dents to go through the amy.mihelich@ecm-inc.com. problems that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gone

through along the way and have the interactions with professional adults.â&#x20AC;? The four engineeringfocused students have worked during school, after school and on weekends at St. Thomasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new Innovation Center. According to Kern, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had many ups and downs while working on the project but it has helped them further their interest in engineering. Kern attended Lakeview Elementary and McGuire Middle schools and is interested in pursuing mechanical engineering. So is Sam Westlake. Hopkins and Weinstein are also planning on pursuing engineering studies after graduation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been interested in engineering since I was a

little kid,â&#x20AC;? Sam Westlake said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really started to hit me the past couple years. I love tinkering with things. If things are working perfectly itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost worse for me because then I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to fix them.â&#x20AC;? Along with school and working on the SOAR project, Sam has been working with an eye doctor to build a custom device so he can better take pictures of patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; eyes. The Innovation Center encourages students to learn outside of their daily school schedules. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the things Kara and I are trying to do is to find more opportunities like this for students to do,â&#x20AC;? Mark Westlake said.

younger people become addicted, but it could be anyone from soccer moms, celebrities and politicians to successful business owners. The south metro isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t immune. According to the Hennepin County Medical Examinerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office, there were 17 overdose deaths attributed to opiate or heroin abuse in Dakota County in 2016. Sheriff Tim Leslie said he sees the damage itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done to families across the county. Leslie said drug prosecutions have doubled in recent years. County Attorney James Backstrom has added more prosecutors to help with the caseload. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t arrest the way out of the problem,â&#x20AC;? Leslie said. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a combination of treatment, enforcement, proper care from physicians and â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an issue with Big Pharma,â&#x20AC;? he said. Stowell said doctors have a role in the epidemic, since theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re often the first ones to prescribe opioids. When he started practicing in 2002 he said saw

patients with headaches, back pain and dental pain ask for prescriptionstrength pain reliever. He admitted â&#x20AC;&#x153;it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel good.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we created a lot of the problem with narcotic medications,â&#x20AC;? Stowell said. He said there are no objective signs for headaches, back pain or most dental pain, unlike a broken wrist, so doctors donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always know what to do. He said doctors working in emergency rooms and urgent care facilities donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prescribe narcotics long-term anymore. Still, people work around their fix. Once people are addicted and the prescription runs out, they turn to drug dealers. The countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focus has been on arresting the dealers and treating those addicted. Eagan Police Chief Jim McDonald said the treatment needs to work. When it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when they have issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sizable segment of the population who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford the drugs so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when they turn to

and advocates to discuss resources local leaders need to effectively fight the opioid epidemic. She made stops in Faribault, Rochester, Mankato, New Ulm and Hutchinson. Klobuchar addressed the Eagan meeting via video from Washington, D.C. She spoke in support of prevention, treatment and law enforcement efforts. She said she was hoping to hear from the front lines to help her make her policy decisions. Klobuchar spoke of several bipartisan efforts on bills to help combat the crisis. Earlier this year Minnesota was awarded $5 million in federal funding for the Department of Human Services aimed at combating the opioid epidemic. It was part of the Klobuchar-backed 21st Century Cures Act to support a comprehensive array of prevention, treatment and recovery services and to encourage states and local communities to pursue proven strategies. Klobuchar introduced the Prescription Drug Monitoring Act, which

would require the use of prescription drug monitoring programs in all states that receive certain federal funding to combat opioid abuse and require states to make their PDMP data available to other states. Earlier this year, she and 10 other senators introduced the Budgeting for Opioid Addiction Treatment Act, which would establish a reliable funding stream to provide and expand access to substance abuse treatment. She and a bipartisan group of senators also introduced the Synthetic Abuse and Labeling of Toxic Substances Act, which would make it easier to prosecute the sale of synthetic drugs, and the Synthetics Trafficking and Overdose Prevention Act, which would help close a loophole in the U.S. postal system to stop dangerous synthetic drugs like fentanyl and carfentanil from being shipped across borders.

petty crimes,â&#x20AC;? McDonald said. For those who are addicted, naloxone â&#x20AC;&#x201D; medication used to block the effects of opioids in overdosing situations â&#x20AC;&#x201D; has been a life saver. Patrol officers were legally allowed to carry the drug a few years ago, and McDonald and Leslie said officers regularly save people from overdosing. But Leslie said correction deputies who work at the Dakota County Jail canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t administer the drug, Drugs seem to find a way into jail, and people often overdose. He said in the middle of the night, the jail doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always have medical staff on site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All enforcement agencies should carry naloxone,â&#x20AC;? McDonald said. According to the Minnesota Department of Health, drug overdoses claimed the lives of at least 637 people in Minnesota in 2016. About 60 percent of those deaths were related to opioid use. The forum was part of a two-day tour on which Klobucharâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff held meetings with first responders, elected officials

BAND, from 10A thrilled.â&#x20AC;? Harloff said the group didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start practicing for the parade until Oct. 20 since it was busy with the field show season. In less than a month, the band has been practicing the two songs it will play â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Santa Claus is Coming to Townâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snowâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as it marches along the more than 2-mile route through New York City streets, in addition to rehearsing its routine at Herald Square at the end of the parade route. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The students learn things very quick,â&#x20AC;? Harloff said, adding that the band will have a 2:30 a.m. 10-minute rehearsal on Herald Square prior to performing for real on Thanksgiving Day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We feel great about it.â&#x20AC;? The Herald Square routine is called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pride in the Past, Promise of the Future,â&#x20AC;? which is the Rosemount High School motto. Harloff said band director Bo Hoover arranged the music that includes traditional Irish music along with songs that honor the Statue of Liberty. Harloff said the idea for the theme came from the centennial celebration the high school had in 2017. To help perfect their routine, the band purchased a huge tarp that is a replica of the star on Herald Square. The tarp was purchased from a high school that performed in the 2016 parade, and Harloff said RHS will likely sell the tarp to another high school slated to play in 2018. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were very hesitant at the beginning,â&#x20AC;? Loughridge said of initial rehearsals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is going to be an amazing performance.â&#x20AC;? Though band members this year arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t used to playing and marching in a straight line for two-plus miles, Harloff said they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to work much on their stamina since they were coming off the field show season.

The Rosemount High School marching band will play during the Macyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thursday, Nov. 23, in New York City. As for the weather, Harloff said they certainly have their eyes on it, but if the Saturday night send-off performance during the Rosemount Tree Lighting Ceremony was an indication, the students can brave the cold. It was well below freezing with a stiff north wind during the send-off. During the send-off, political dignitaries along with Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District officials wished the band well on their trip and thanked them for representing Rosemount, the district and the state of Minnesota. The band is getting a lot of help along the way to its special performance through community donations and the support of its parent boosters. More than 400 parents of band members are making a parallel trip to NYC. They will be there to assist with logistics and provide support during the parade. At the competitions, the band parents are known as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sea of Gold,â&#x20AC;? as they wear the same color shirts and often sit in one group. Harloff said the band and the parents will celebrate a great parade performance with a Thanksgiving dinner back at their hotel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As you know, the parents at RHS are absolutely amazing,â&#x20AC;? Harloff said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every time we go to St. Louis and this year Indianapolis (for the Super Regional) there are hundreds of parents in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sea of

When asked if she thought she would be able to take in the whole scene during the parade, Loughridge said she wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know until she was there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are approaching this just as professional as we would approach any parade,â&#x20AC;? Loughridge said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be moments when you see one famous thing and another famous thing but we will remain focused. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Performance is something I am passionate about,â&#x20AC;? Loughridge said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am really looking forward to it.â&#x20AC;? She said the feeling of the moment will sink in as she hears the crowd and being there with her friends, some of whom she has been playing with since she was in fifth grade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With this being my senior year, having all of my best friends there, and this is our last performance, it will be special,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is going to be one of those memories of a lifetime and experience they will remember for the rest of their lives,â&#x20AC;? Harloff said.

Sports Dakota United breaks through against Robbinsdale Adapted soccer title is Hawks’ first in PI since 2006 by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

It might have been nice if another team cleared Robbinsdale/Hopkins/ Mound Westonka out of Dakota United’s path to the state PI Division adapted soccer championship, but this year the Hawks were ready to do it themselves. And that made their first state title in 11 years all the more satisfying. Robbinsdale has been a familiar rival – and nemesis – for Dakota United teams in all adapted sports, but no more so than in soccer, where the Robins had beaten the Hawks in the state tournament for seven consecutive years. Until Saturday, when Cooper Wilson’s secondhalf goal was the winner in Dakota United’s 2-1 victory in the PI Division final at Stillwater High School. Riley Wisniewski, a Dakota United co-captain and the team’s only senior, has been trying for six years to beat the Robins at the soccer tournament.

Cooper Wilson (center) of Dakota United celebrates with Riley Wisniewski (18) and Samuel Gerten after scoring in the second half of the Hawks’ 2-1 victory over Robbinsdale/Hopkins/Mound Westonka in the state adapted soccer PI Division championship game. “I have won in hockey and softball. But soccer is special, a great feeling for me,” said Wisniewski, who scored in the final minute of the first half to tie the championship game 1-1. “I’ve always wanted to get back at Robbinsdale because of all the years they beat us.” Robbinsdale has been the dominant program in PI Division adapted sports for a decade. The

Robins won 20 state championships in soccer, floor hockey and softball since 2007. They have been in the soccer state championship game 10 years in a row, winning seven in a row from 2008 through 2014. Three times during that run, the Robins beat Dakota United in the championship game. Dakota United, a cooperative that includes Apple Valley, Eagan, East-

view, Rosemount, Lakeville North and Lakeville South high schools for PI Division soccer, won its last soccer title in 2006, beating Robbinsdale in the state championship game. “Our kids get nervous playing Robbinsdale. Historically, they’re our downfall,” Hawks coach Lorrie Buecksler said. “They’ve always had an excellent team, so this is extra sweet that we went

terfinal round Friday. Wisniewski had four goals and an assist, and Gabrielle Stahl scored twice. In the semifinals Saturday morning Dakota United watched a fourgoal halftime lead disappear against Park Center, but then scored two goals in the final three minutes to win 8-6. Wisniewski was a factor in seven Hawks goals, scoring four and assisting on three. That set up another showdown with Robbinsdale, and the Hawks were ready. “All the times we played them in the past we had a few people who struggled, but today everyone was on,” Buecksler said. Last year Dakota United lost to Robbinsdale 2-1 in overtime in the state semifinals, and Wisniewski said it might have been a matter of the Hawks not being quite ready to win a championship. “This was way different than any of the other years, I’ve been on the team,” he said. “We have special talent here, but we were young last year and kind of on the learning curve.” Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

SSC girls hockey preview: scramble shaping up for title

Eagles can’t stop Elk River stampede

Eastview pursuing 4th consecutive state tournament appearance

Despite allowing 700 rushing yards, Apple Valley had chances to win

by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

It might look like Elk River’s playbook is only a few pages long, but if that were really the case somebody would have figured out how to stop the Elks’ offense by now. Apple Valley was the latest team with a chance to solve the puzzle that is Elk River’s back-to-the1930s T-formation attack. When Friday’s game was over, the Eagles became the latest team struggling to figure out what happened to them. Elk River rushed for 700 yards – yes, 700 – in its 51-40 victory in the Class 5A football semifinals at U.S. Bank Stadium. The victory gives the Elks (111) a chance for a second consecutive state title; they’ll play Owatonna or Brainerd in the Prep Bowl on Nov. 25. The game was no blowout. Elk River didn’t take the lead for good until late in the third quarter, and Apple Valley (10-2) trailed by just three points midway through the fourth. “We knew it was going to be a situation where we’d have to find a way to get a couple of stops,” Apple Valley coach Chad Clendening said. “We had every confidence our offense would score points, which they did. But we didn’t make quite enough plays.” Apple Valley forced Elk River into a three-and-out on its first series. But Elk River scored on seven of its next eight possessions, including six touchdowns. The only time an Elk River possession during that stretch didn’t end with points was because of a sensational play by Apple Valley defensive back Josh Arnold, who ran down the Elks’ Adam Nelson inside the Eagles’ 10-yard line, stripped the ball and recovered it. Elk River didn’t attempt a pass. It didn’t need to. The Elks averaged 11.7

up against them and actually came out on top for a change. It’s great for my older players who have been here year after year and know it’s tough to beat them in all the sports. Robbinsdale is always good.” Robbinsdale’s goal came on a shot Dakota United goalie Blake Jackson thought he should have had, Buecksler said. “You could tell he felt bad. His face flushed. He takes it internally,” the coach said. “But he had no reason to feel bad. We can count on Blake every single game.” They could count on him in the final minutes of the championship game, when Jackson made several big saves as Robbinsdale pressed for the tying goal. “Blake’s awesome. He’s on the ball all the time,” Buecksler said. Wisniewski’s goal near the end of the first half was important for the Hawks’ psyche, Buecksler said. “Going into the half, we wanted to be up or at least tied,” she said. “When we got to our huddle we told our kids, ‘Hey, we just restarted the game.’” Dakota United took a 9-0 record into the state tournament, then defeated Mounds View/Irondale/ Roseville 8-2 in the quar-

Three Elk River backs gained more than 100 yards – including Nelson, who had 302 yards and three touchdowns – and a fourth had 91 yards.

It seems as if almost every team in South Suburban Conference girls hockey has reason to believe it will be in the race for the championship. There’s Lakeville South, which has finished first the last three seasons and returns a solid core group. Eagan was in the hunt until late in the 2016-17 regular season before dropping back to third place. Farmington and Eastview reached the state tournament and met for the consolation championship, with Farmington winning. Lakeville North, the last team other than Lakeville South to win the league, is looking to return to the top spot. And Apple Valley and Burnsville can make cases for being vastly improved. In last week’s Let’s Play Hockey Class AA rankings, Farmington was 14th and Eagan, Lakeville South and Lakeville North were 17th through 19th. Following are capsule previews of the eight South Suburban girls hockey teams in the Sun Thisweek and Dakota County Tribune coverage area:

top 22 players are sophomores or younger. Sodomka is the top returning scorer, while Keating and Quaintance lend experience on defense. Amelia Julian takes over in goal after serving as the backup last season.

Apple Valley Coach: Don Erdall (eighth season). Last season: 12-13-2 overall, 4-11-2 conference, reached Section 3AA semifinals. 2017-18 so far: 3-01; defeated Rochester Lourdes 4-0, Hastings 6-2 and Rosemount 12-1, tied Eden Prairie 0-0. Next game: at Mahtomedi, 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 28. Outlook: With six of the Eagles’ top seven scorers returning this season, a jump in the South Suburban Conference standings isn’t out of the question. Sofia Leong (15 goals) and Reagan Roelofs (13) were the only Eagles to score more than five goals last season, so they will be looking for more balance. Krista Martinson scored three goals in the Eagles’ first two games of 2017-18. Sophomore Keni Allen starts the season in goal after being the varsity backup last year.

Eastview

Eagan

Coach: Herb Harvey (11th season). Last season: 17-12-2 overall, 11-5-1 conference, won Section 3AA championship, finished sixth at state tournament. 2017-18 so far: 0-3; lost to Blake 4-0, Shakopee 3-2 and Lakeville South 3-2. Next game: vs. North Wright County at Hayes Arena, 2 p.m. Friday, Nov. 24. Outlook: If the Lightning is to reach the state tournament for the fourth consecutive year it will have to do so without scoring leader Natalie Snodgrass, now at the University of Connecticut. Senior captains Holly Sodomka, Mary Keating and Kati Quaintance will be expected to provide leadership for a young team; 15 of the

Coach: Dan Wilson (second season). Last season: 13-10-4 overall, 9-4-4 conference, reached Section 3AA semifinals. 2017-18 so far: 4-0; defeated Hopkins/St. Louis Park 6-1, Maple Grove 4-1, Lakeville South 2-1 and Hastings 7-0. Next game: at Centennial, 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 25. Outlook: Expect to see the puck on Taylor Anderson’s stick a lot. The senior forward, who recently signed with Minnesota-Duluth, is among the state’s top players. She had 21 goals and 14 assists last season. Other top returning players include senior defender Kayla Vrieze, senior forward Abby Barger and junior defender Brooke Peplinski.

Farmington resident â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;promptedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to invent by Jody Peters SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Awkward pauses and cringe-worthy videos will soon be a thing of the past. At least, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the idea behind Farmington resident Dann Hurlbertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s invention, the Little Prompter. Hurlbert, who helps make instructional videos at Carleton College, came up with the idea for a personal teleprompter to help ensure that the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s videos featured seamless delivery. Hurlbert knows a thing or two about both making quality videos and delivering lines smoothly. He

taught high school film and theater for 15 years and was a professional actor and director. Hurlbert also made an educational video, â&#x20AC;&#x153;How to Write and Produce Your Own High School Musical,â&#x20AC;? before taking the job at Carleton. After coming up with his idea, Hurlbert first tried 3D printing a prototype on his own, but said it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work very well. So he reached out to some companies in California to help build the device, but ended up choosing to work with MedFab, a local company in Lakeville. He primarily worked with Peter DuPont in sales and

Jake Maxa, an engineer, to make his vision come to life. Unlike some existing personal teleprompters that only screw onto cameras, Hurlbertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s invention is unique in that it can be attached to a handheld camera, webcam or laptop camera. He explained that his design is composed of lightweight plastic and features BeamSplitter glass. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are some teleprompters on the market that screw right onto the lens of a camera, but there werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any that would work directly with a laptop camera,â&#x20AC;? Hurlbert said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The glass is 70 percent re-

flective on one side so that you can read the words on the prompter, and regular glass on the other side so the camera sees through the glass.â&#x20AC;? While he first envisioned the Little Prompter being used primarily by educators and businesspeople, Hurlbert said the device has a wide range of uses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a couple of friends who are priests, and I thought this would be great for giving previews of sermons, or even for Bible study videos,â&#x20AC;? he said. In addition to its portability (the body weighs less than a pound), Hurlbert said another advantage of his device is how simple it is to use. He has heard back from people who have tried out the device and said the feedback has been positive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There have been 6 proCrisler reported he took a black pickup truck in Apple Valley earlier that day.

totypes that have gone out, and so far the feedback that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten is people are amazed at how easy it is to use,â&#x20AC;? he said. He added that one educator in particular found it helpful for making videos for her class. She found that she could spend less time making the videos and they were of better quality, thanks to his invention. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It eliminates those â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;umsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and those pauses that we sometimes get in speech, and makes the delivery much smoother. And she told me that before, she would have to do several takes to get it right, and now she can make a video in just one take,â&#x20AC;? Hurlbert said. Because the device is small (6â&#x20AC;?x6â&#x20AC;?x6â&#x20AC;?), it might seem to work best when the user is up close, but

Hurlbert said he has gotten feedback that it is readable from farther away, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Another thing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard is someone told me that while he was using the Little Prompter, he could easily read the script from 10 feet away,â&#x20AC;? Hurlbert said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was really impressive to me.â&#x20AC;? For most standard teleprompters, the cost can range anywhere from $300-400 up to $800, according to Hurlbert. His device costs $120, and he hopes to have it available for widespread purchase by spring of 2018. For now, people can order the Little Prompter through Kickstarter. People can find more information at Hurlbertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, littleprompter.com. Contact Jody Peters at jody. peters@ecm-inc.com.

14A Nov. 24, 2017 SUN THISWEEK - Apple Valley

JAM, from 1A faces,” Green said. The variety of music and Monday night specials will bring in participants and customers. “It’s something different,” Green said. “It’s not just one act — there are going to be several acts playing in one night. We hope people will have a good time.” The Apple Jam will follow the format of an open mic night. People can show up and add their name to the list of performers. The house band, “Brother Bill” Swanson & the Jammasters, will warm up the audience for the first half hour and then invite performers to the stage. Barton said the house band, in which he will play the saxophone, will bring all the sound equipment so people can bring their instruments and plug in to the house band’s amplifiers. People can also use the house band’s keyboard. People who want to sing can tell the house band what they’d like to perform, and they’ll play. Barton said they know “just about everything except rap” and will back up anyone who wants to sing. J.D. Donovan, Apple Valley local and bassist of the Jammasters, said he hopes The Apple Jam will help build up the local music scene by bringing musi-

cians together. “There’s a lot of blues culture south of the river, and we want to try to get those guys up here,” Donovan said. “I think it will be a good thing. They need more live music in this area, and we’ve got some of the best guys around playing it.” Bringing people together is also what motivates Jim Meier, Jammaster drummer. He hopes The Apple Jam will bring the blues musician culture of the Twin Cities to the suburbs. “The blues community is kind of one big family in the Twin Cities area,” Meier said. He said people are more likely to go to a jam when it is closer to them. “We hope it’s going to grow. A couple other Twin Cities jams have grown from 10 people to 50 people, and they continue to grow,” he said. Part of that growth will come from the inclusive and supportive jam session environment, said Bill Swanson, Apple Valley local and leader of the Jammasters. He thinks The Apple Jam is a great place for seasoned musicians and developing musicians alike. “Everyone is appreciated and respected, and everyone gets a fair chance to perform,” Swanson said. “This is a chance for anyone who wants to showcase

their talents.” He said events like this are valuable to musicians who are just starting to perform in public because it gives them an opportunity to network with other beginners. “It’s happened before at other jams where young people come up and they don’t have a lot of experience. I’ve seen a group of young people who are formed by coming to these,” Swanson said. “I’ve seen them go on to become really good players.” Steve Mayer, Jammaster guitarist, agrees that meeting other musicians is an important component of jam sessions. “Jams are really fun and you get to meet a lot of local musicians,” Mayer said. “You get to play with them, hang out with them and talk with them.” He said he hopes that people will also come to The Apple Jam to hear the music. “The more people who come, the more fun it is,” Mayer said. The Apple Jam will take place every Monday night from 7 to 11 p.m. at the Apple Valley Legion, located at 14521 Granada Drive. The first open mic night will take place on Monday, Dec. 11.

Lakeville’s Harry’s Cafe raises funds for employee

Photo submitted

Staff and customers raised $6,700 for Harry’s Cafe Bar manager and veteran Eric Fink. On Sept. 7 Fink totaled his truck in a car accident that left him with a broken arm, leg, sternum and ribs as well as a punctured lung. Fink served as a Private First Class in the 502nd Infantry Regiment-101st Airborne Division and was deployed to Iraq. Staff wore t-shirts supporting team Eric. “Eric is someone I truly enjoy working with. A down to earth guy who is there when you need him,” Harry’s employee Heather Aarre said. Supporters gathered at Harry’s on Nov. 9 to buy raffle tickets for gifts donated by the community and drink specials in honor of Fink.

Chameleon stages ‘Chess’ The Chameleon Theatre Circle, Apple Valley, stages the 1980s musical “Chess” Dec. 1-17 at the Gremlin Theatre, 550 Vandalia St., St. Paul. Originally produced in 2000 in Chameleon’s second season, this is the first of three greatest hits from Chameleon’s past to be revisited in season 20. Cold War style conspiracy, musical melodrama and power ballads fight for supremacy on the chessboard in the cult sensation by Tim Rice (“Jesus Christ Superstar”), Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus (ABBA). Florence (Sarah DeYong) finds herself in a romantic triangle between chess masters: the American, Freddie (Michael Burton) and the Russian, Anatoly (Carl Swanson). Politics, espionage and intrigue collide with love and strategy in the production. Featuring the Top 40 hit “One Night in Bangkok,” this show arrived on Broadway with great fanfare and acclaim but is seldom performed. Performances will take place Dec. 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 9, 14, 15 and 16 at 7:30 p.m., and Dec. 3, 10 and 17 at 2 p.m. Monday, Dec. 4, will be Industry Night, featuring Pay-What-You-Can pricing at the door and a discussion with the cast and crew following the performance. Tickets are $25 for adults; $22 for students, seniors, Fringe Button holders and groups of eight-19; $19 for groups of 20 or more. Tickets are available online at brownpapertickets.org.

Thisweekend GET READY TO ROCK ‘Rock & Roll Christmas’ comes to Rosemount

by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

This one is going to rock. The Rosemount Area Arts Council is back for the seventh time with Christmas at the Steeple Center with a new theme “Rock & Roll Christmas.” The marriage of rock ’n’ roll and the biggest celebration of the year has been around as long as the latter has. Some of the most beloved songs by the likes of Elvis, Brenda Lee and the Beatles are they ones they cut around the theme of Christmas. The Rosemount version of a “Rock & Roll Christmas” will lead people down memory lane to some of the biggest hits of the 50s and 60s when the musical genre was king. Popular artists have mined holiday music for such hits as “Santa Claus is Coming to Town,” “Jingle Bell Rock,” and “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” — all of which will be part of this year’s show. “Our tribute band series was very successful last winter and spring, so we decided to have a ‘Rock & Roll Christmas’ theme,” said John Loch, a RAAC member. “You can see all the different tribute band members that will be making an appearance. They are very excited about this also because they have never done anything quite

Previous Christmas at the Steeple Center shows have included music, dancing and theater skits. This year, the theme is a “Rock & Roll Christmas.” like this.” He said the best part of producing this show is that it gets everyone in the spirit of the season, and it takes the audience back to previous Christmases when they were younger, conjuring up lots of memories. “This is a good family entertainment event,” Loch said. “Once again we are happy that the Special Delivery Singers will open the show.” Dancers from the JAMM Dance Studio in Rosemount and Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Eagan will perform during the evening. The Second Act Players will be doing two humor-

ous “Christmas” skits that were written and produced by some of its members. Loch said the show will be fast-paced with little or no break between acts. “We are really excited about this year’s production, and it appears that our patrons are also,” Loch said. “Ticket sales are far ahead of previous years. “You are going to be hard pressed to find this level of entertainment at the low ticket price we have,” he said. “We look at it as our Christmas present to the community.” Shows are slated at 2 and 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 2, at the Steeple Center. Tickets are $18 general

admission and $15 for seniors, RAAC members and children under 10. Tickets can be purchased at the box office at the Steeple Center on Mondays 10 a.m. to noon and Fridays 2-4 p.m. Attendees should bring new socks and underwear to be donated to The Drawer — a Rosemount nonprofit that supplies these essentials to the homeless and other people in need. Sponsors are First State Bank of Rosemount and Dakota Electric. More is at RosemountArts.com. Photo submitted

Minnesota Zoo prepares to welcome new tapir calf The Minnesota Zoo said on Nov. 16 that the 14-year-old female Malayan tapir, Bertie, is pregnant with her third calf. The calf is expected to be born in late December 2017 or early January 2018. This will be the zoo’s third tapir calf in 22 years. “We are all looking forward to welcoming this new calf,” says Tropics and Minnesota Trail assistant curator, Laurie Trechsel. “Bertie has been a great mom to her other calves and we thought this year’s Give to the Max Day was the perfect time to share our happy news with everyone.” Updates on Bertie and her expected calf will be provided via the zoo’s social media channels and website. The Malayan tapir’s gestation period varies from 390-410 days. Mothers give birth to a single calf (twins are rare). At birth, a calf weighs approximately 10-20 pounds. A female normally births a calf every two to four years. For the first 6-8 months of their life, tapir calves resemble furry watermelons with legs.

The Minnesota Zoo currently participates in approximately 90 SSP programs, including the Malayan tapir SSP. The Minnesota Zoo is a

year-round destination located in Apple Valley. The zoo’s mission is to connect people, animals and the natural world to save wildlife. For more information, call 952-431-9500 or visit mnzoo.org.
