Council OK’s slight levy increase for 2017 City reaches by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Many Apple Valley homeowners will see a small increase in the city portion of their tax bills next year under the 2017 tax levy and budget approved by the City Council last week. City property taxes will show an increase of about 3 percent, or $28, for the owner of a median-valued home. Apple Valley’s overall 2017 property tax levy was set at $24.84 million, an increase of 3.3 percent over this year’s levy. City Finance Director Ron Hedberg said that Apple Valley will have the lowest levy increase among

all Dakota County cities from 2016 to 2017. Rosemount is second lowest with a levy increase of 3.5 percent, while West St. Paul is highest with an 8 percent levy increase. The 2017 city budget will continue street maintenance funding with support from the tax levy, reflecting city officials’ longstanding policy not to use special assessments on properties adjoining street projects. The portion of the tax levy supporting the street maintenance program will be $3.33 million in 2017, an increase of about $304,000. Among other allocations, the city budget also provides for five new positions in city government in response to increased development pressures, Hedberg said. New

positions include an engineering technician, building inspector and natural resources technician. Additionally, the budget provides funding for the beginning of the city’s water meter replacement program. The city has budgeted $2 million for water meter replacement next year, and the replacement program will likely begin in the late summer of 2017, Hedberg said. The program is expected to run 2-3 years, and there will be no charge to homeowners whose water meters are replaced. “The city will be replacing all water meters in the city,� Hedberg

settlement with former employee by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The city of Apple Valley has reached a settlement with a former Police Department employee who alleged she suffered years of sexual harassment and assault. Amanda Barnes, who worked as a records technician in the Police DepartSee LEVY, 7A ment for eight years, resigned in May. She filed a sex-discrimination complaint with the Minnesota Department of Human Rights following her resignation. The settlement, reached Nov. 21, includes a $100,000 payment to Barnes. The city, which denied any wrongdoing in the settlement, also agreed to conduct additional training for supervisors in city government who handle sexual harassment complaints, along with revisions to city policies subjecting supervisors to disciplinary action if they fail to report complaints. In an interview with this newspaper Dec. 11, Barnes described a sexually hostile work environment during her employment with the city, in which she was subjected to inappropriate remarks and physical contact by multiple police officers both on and off city property. During Barnes’s employment with the Police Department, the city twice conducted investigations into her claims of sexual harassment and assault, bringing in a third-party investigator. In the first investigation, “there were some allegations that were substantiated, but many were not,� said Jana O’Leary Sullivan, a League of Minnesota Cities attorEastview High School wrestler Mason Enderlein attempts to slip free of his opponent during the Lightning’s meet ney representing the city. last week at Eden Prairie.

Students like to feel they are a name rather than a number. The same can be said for the schools they attend. Since planning started for the newest elementary in the Rosemount-Apple

Valley-Eagan School District, it’s been referred to as “Elementary 19.� No more. The School Board officially dubbed the building East Lake Elementary School during Monday’s regular meeting. The name was proposed after a public input process, an initial name screening that whittled the list to nine, a parent committee’s preparation of a three-name finalist list and final selection by

school administration. The school takes its name from the nearby East Lake, which is to the southwest of the school. The city of Lakeville’s East Lake Community Park is located around the lake, both of which will be visible from the new school. During the public suggestion timeframe (Oct. 17-Nov. 11), more than 1,000 names were offered for the new school. The parent committee, which met Nov. 30, could have selected

Fairview Clinic opens new location in south metro New location offers all day urgent care by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

While out shopping for groceries and new clothes, residents can now get a checkup in Central Park Commons. Or, if something more dire comes along, urgent care. Fairview Clinics - Eagan is moving to a new, expanded location at 3305 Central Park Village Drive in the new Central Park Commons retail development. Fairview Clinics has had a location in Eagan for about 20 years. “We’ve steadily grown over this time period and really outgrew the space,� said Sally Wahman, Chief Operating Officer of the Fairview Medical Group. “The timing was perfect.

It’s a whole new fresh look.� The two-story, 4,200-square-foot facility is nearly twice the size of its old location, which allows the clinic to offer other services such as all day urgent care rather than same-day, walk-in services. “It’s a more consistent offering,� Wahman said. “We have dedicated space for urgent care and we’re able to add some specialty services we haven’t been able to offer in the past.� The new location will also include an optical shop, pharmacy with drive-up services, expanded diagnostic imaging and additional speciality care services such as heart care,

dermatology and optometry. The new location will continue to have an Institute for Athletic Medicine now with adult and pediatric rehabilitation. It will continue to offer pediatric care along with internal medicine, OB/ GYN and podiatry services. The old location at 1440 Duckwood Drive will close as of Dec. 16 with an urgent care opening at the new place at 5 p.m. Dec. 16. The main clinic will be open Dec. 19. They’re planning on transferring much of their equipment over the weekend. “It’s coming down to the wire,� Wahman said. “The movers are coming. We want to be able to serve patients throughout. It’s tricky but it’s all really well planned out.�

They hired a design firm to polish off the design of the doll and the packaging. They also hired an author and illustrator to put the finishing touches on the book. It’s been an adventure, no doubt. They hope to find other families who want to go on adventures as well. The primary place to buy one is at www.adventuresanta.com.

Adventure Santa is for anyone who still believes in the magic of Santa. Catherine Green came up with the idea during the 2014 Christmas season. Both Catherine and Sean Green were working long hours but wanted to enjoy the magic of the holidays with their son, who was three at the time. “The thing about Elf on the Shelf, it was such a big daily commitment,� Catherine Green said. “Adventure Santa is more flexible. He comes out when you want him to come out.� Elf on the Shelf is a tradition where a toy hides in people’s homes, spying on children and other assorted high jinks. “We figured there was a lot of other families with a short amount of time who wanted to make the most of their time with their kids,� Sean Green said. “Something more flexible.

U.S. Sen. Al Franken, Minnesota, will soon have a chance to ask several questions of Betsy DeVos, Presidentelect Donald Trump’s nominee for secretary of education. That’s because Franken serves on the U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. Marc Kimball, state director of communications for Franken, recently confirmed in a phone call that the committee will meet with DeVos as part of her confirmation process. Here are several issues that I hope Franken will consider raising. You may want to suggest these or others. 1. Promoting safety, respect and optimism among students. If students are frightened, intimidated or bullied, they learn much less. A recent national poll of more than 10,000 educators, conducted by the Southern Poverty Law Center, found that since the election: “Ninety percent of educators report that school climate has been negatively affected, and most of them believe it will have a long-lasting impact. A full 80 percent describe heightened anxiety and concern on the part of students worried about the impact of the election on themselves and their families. Also on the upswing: verbal harassment, the use of slurs and derogatory language, and disturbing

incidents involving swastikas, Nazi salutes and Confederate flags.” The SPLC acknowledged that this was not a scientific poll, noting that respondents were not a representative sample: “(Respondents) may have been more likely to perceive problems than those who did not.” However, I agree with the SPLC’s conclusions: “The tremendous number of responses as well as the overwhelming confirmation of what has been anecdotally reported in the media cannot be ignored or dismissed.” More information about the poll can be found here: http://bit.ly/2fzqiKg. 2. School choice – which Trump says he wants to expand to include private and parochial schools. Minnesota offers lessons about choice, as we have within-district and cross-district schools, magnet schools, teacher-led schools, charter public schools, dual-credit programs (credit for high school and college) and tax credits. We’ve found that choice can promote widespread improvements – for example, districts added more

dual-credit courses in response to Postsecondary Enrollment Options. But I think we’ve wisely avoided providing per-pupil funds to private and parochial K-12 schools. 3. Educating students with some form of disability. Congress requires that these students be served appropriately, but does not come close to providing the amount of funding that it originally promised. Will DeVos recommend an increase or other changes in these programs to make them more efficient? 4. Other priorities for improving pre-K-12 schools. There was little discussion during the campaign about K-12 education. Other than choice, what priorities does DeVos have? 5. Postsecondary education. Most jobs require a one- or two-year certificate or a four-year diploma. But many families are suffering from huge college debt. Completion and graduation rates are quite low at many institutions. College access, cost and quality urgently need more attention. 6. Learning from success. The U.S. Department of Education honors many schools, but it could do much more to help educators and families learn from the most effective. It’s worth noting that people disagree about DeVos. Dan Quisenberry, who I’ve known and respected for years, is president of the Michigan charter

school association. He’s worked with DeVos and believes she is “a passionate education reformer (who) has high expectations for schools to perform academically and will hold all schools, including charters, accountable for results.” Others, including, for example, presidents of national teacher unions, have strongly criticized her. DeVos has written: “I am committed to transforming our educational system into the best in the world. However, out of respect for the United States Senate, it is most appropriate for me to defer expounding on specifics until they begin the confirmation process.” (Read more from her at http:// betsydevos.com/qa.) Only about 10 percent of the funding for public schools comes from Congress. But that’s still more than $68 billion. Equally important, the head of the U.S. Department of Education can speak out on many issues. The department also can increase or decrease regulations on U.S. schools. Fortunately, Franken can ask DeVos for details and encourage her to consider what’s happening in Minnesota.

Nine end-of-year tax tips for procrastinators and planners alike by JoAnn Waugh SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Guest Columnist

It is the time of the year when procrastinators and planners both are looking for those last-minute, end-of-year tax tips that could save them money on their 2016 tax return. Here are nine tips taxpayers can use, whether they’re just getting started thinking about their 2016 tax return or they’re putting the final touches on their 2016 tax plan: 1. Don’t forget about use-it-or-lose-it money in flexible spending accounts. Putting money in a flexible spending account (FSA) during the year saves taxpayers from paying taxes on that amount. Then, taxpayers can use this money taxfree on qualified medical expenses. But, whatever funds taxpayers don’t spend before the end of the year – or grace period, if their company’s plan provides one – is just money left on the table. Instead, taxpayers should make sure to use this money for unreimbursed medical expenses like eyeglasses, prescription medications, medical equipment or copays. If they still have extra money in the flexible spending account to spend, they might want to schedule end-of-year appointments or buy prescription medicine they will need in 2017. 2. Sign up for health insurance. Taxpayers without insurance could have to pay a penalty of $695 per uncovered adult and $347 per uncovered child (to a maximum of $2,085) or 2.5 percent of their household income over their filing threshold, whichever is greater. A family of four earning $60,000 could pay a penalty of more than $2,000 for 2016. While it’s too late to avoid these penalties in 2016, to avoid them in 2017, taxpayers may enroll in a health insurance plan on the marketplace. Some taxpayers will also qualify for advance premium tax credits to help them pay their health insurance premiums. 3. Compare standard versus itemized

deductions and plan to accelerate or delay payments. Nearly every tax filer can claim a standard deduction, which reduces their taxable income, which in turn reduces their taxes owed. The standard deduction is $6,300 for single filers and $12,600 for married couples filing jointly. There is a way for some taxpayers to increase their deduction beyond the standard amount – and it doesn’t involve walking down the aisle. Taxpayers can choose to itemize their deductions instead, which means they deduct specific qualifying expenses including mortgage interest payments, state and local income or sales tax and charitable donations. If their itemized deductions add up to more than their standard deduction, the taxpayers can get a bigger tax benefit by itemizing. If a taxpayer has itemized deductions that total less than the standard deduction for their filing status, they should plan to claim the standard deduction. And if they know they’re claiming the standard deduction this year but expect to itemize next year, they may prefer to wait until January to pay some end of year expenses. Delaying those expenses until 2017 could boost their ability to itemize more in 2017. For example, if they plan to buy a house or move to a state with higher income taxes next year, they might want to delay other deductible expenses to get the tax deduction. One way to do that would be to bunch end of year deductible expenses and pay them in January 2017, when they can use that expense as an itemized deduction, instead of December 2016 when they will claim the standard deduction. Or, if they think they won’t have as many itemized deductions in 2017 as

they do in 2016, they might be able to accelerate some payments and shift some deductions from next year to this year. For example, if they’re itemizing in 2016 and can pay real-estate tax in two installments, they might consider making the payment in 2016 that would normally be due in early 2017. In all these cases, taxpayers should remember that tax planning occurs over a multi-year horizon and paying an extra amount this year could hurt some taxpayers in 2017. 4. Estimate income and determine if a tax benefit phaseout could affect the tax return. Most tax benefits generally phase out, usually as an individual’s income increases. At a certain point, the tax benefit may be eliminated altogether or it may be available only at a small amount. If taxpayers are close to a phaseout range of a tax benefit they’re otherwise eligible for, they could try to lower their adjusted gross income (AGI) so they can claim the tax benefit, for example by contributing as much as possible to a pre-tax retirement plan, such as a 401(k) or 403(b), or a deductible IRA. 5. Contribute to a retirement account to lower adjusted gross income and taxable income. Lowering AGI and taxable income is always good, but especially if the taxpayer is getting phased out of a tax benefit. Contributing to a pre-tax retirement plan lowers both AGI and taxable income. These plans include 401(k)s, 403(b)s, deductible IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs and SEPs. Taxpayers have until Dec. 31 to make contributions to 401(k)s and 403(b)s for 2016. They have until April 16, 2017, to make contributions to IRAs and some other plans. 6. Donate to a charity to lower taxable income. If a taxpayer itemizes, they can lower their taxable income by donating to charity. They must give to a qualified charity

by Dec. 31 and keep the necessary documentation, which will vary depending on the type and amount of the gift. 7. Consider a qualified charitable rollover to lower adjusted gross income and taxable income. Taxpayers who are at least 70.5 should consider a trustee-to-trustee transfer of some or all of their required minimum distributions to a qualified charity. Doing so lowers AGI which, in turn, lowers the amount of Social Security subject to tax. 8. Sell certain securities. Taxpayers with a large net capital gain so far this year might want to sell some stock to generate a loss before year end. Doing so could reduce the amount of tax they pay this year. But in any case, taxpayers should not let possible tax savings cause them to make a decision contrary to their overall investment strategy or financial needs. 9. Investigate before buying mutual funds. Taxpayers who are planning to invest a large amount in a mutual fund should find out when the fund declares and pays its dividend. Confirm that the fund isn’t declaring and paying a large amount of dividends before the end of the year. Buying shares before the dividend is declared could mean they’ll increase their income by the amount of the dividend. This is true even if they reinvest the dividend in new shares. They should look for this information at the fund company’s website. After taxpayers make their final tax moves for 2016, they can look forward to filing their return, and then start tax planning – or procrastinating – for 2017.

ing paths. Because of this, my husband and I created a Facebook page “Apple Valley Safety Coalition” to help make people aware of safety laws and potentially dangerous situations. As relates to the aforementioned dog attack, I believe the city ordinance could be written in a way to help prevent attacks like this before they happen. Currently, the code addresses only dogs that have already attacked a person or pet. Ordinance 91.01 states only that when a dog “inflicts bites” or “chases a person” or has a “ten-

dency or disposition to attack.” All of this verbiage is in the past tense. The damage is already done. The city needs to proactively screen and provide some level of training to certain dog owners and bicyclists. The code needs to include any dog that has been the subject of complaints. Here’s an example: This fall, my dogs and I walked past a house that had a pit bull leashed in the front yard. He repeatedly aggressively lunged at us. If the dog broke free from the thin line he

was hooked to, I know my dogs would have been hurt or killed by this very aggressive dog. I called Apple Valley police and was told I should speak to the dog owner. From my experience, this does little to ameliorate the problem. Certain breeds are more prone to attack and should never be leashed in the front. I hope this tragedy motivates the city to strengthen the ordinance before it’s too late. HOLLY O’KEEFE Apple Valley

Big changes in store at Lakeville 21 Full-service bar, stone-fire pizza oven planned in 2017 by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Luxury seating is just the beginning of the changes planned at Lakeville 21 movie theater. Under new ownership by Michigan-based Emagine Entertainment since July, renovations to the former Muller Family Theater have been completed in half the complex’s auditoriums, according to Lakeville 21 General Manager Jake Mueller. He said all auditoriums are expected to be remodeled by next March to include the roomy, leather power recliners. Plans also call for extensive remodeling of the lobby area, which will feature a bar and some seating. “We’ll be gutting the lobby and re-doing all of that,� Mueller said. “We’re going to be putting in a big stone woodfired pizza oven. We’ll be

making pizzas and quesadillas by hand.� Planned is the addition of a full-service bar serving alcoholic beverages and Coca-Cola Freestyle machines which will offer patrons thousands of flavor possibilities for soda and frozen drinks. After experimenting with different popcorn oils, the theater is retaining its traditional popcorn recipe. “The public has spoken,� Mueller said. “We’ll be going back to the original popcorn.� Mueller said patrons can either enjoy food and drinks in the lobby or the auditoriums. Tickets are available at the box office or in advance online. “You can show up as you please and walk right on in,� Mueller said. “You can bypass the box office line. You’ve got your ticket already and go straight on into your seat.� Prices for traditional seating remain at $6.75 to

$9.50; luxury seating prices range from $8 to $10 and tickets to see showings in the three-and-onehalf story tall monster screen range in price from $10-$12. The monster auditorium has been remodeled to include the Dolby Atmos immersive sound system, a change which Mueller said brings the movie experience to a completely different level. “The sound literally moves around the room,� Mueller said. “Where you sit, that will create a different sound experience than if you were sitting somewhere else in the auditorium.� He said he recently saw a clip in the theater of a camera panning of leaves through a forest as leaves are falling. “You actually hear the leaves falling around you,� Mueller said. “It’s so neat. It’s so incredible.� Their first Dolby Atmos film will be “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,�

which releases Dec. 16. Mueller said they expect to finalize plans for renovating the lobby in January then present them to city officials for consideration. While Mueller said it was sad to lose the retiring Muller family from the industry, Emagine Entertainment Partner Jon Goldstein has implement-

ed changes they knew were necessary to keep up with competition. “The energy that he brings and the vision ... he really wants the best experience for the customers,� Mueller said. “It’s really been very cool to see him come on and energize the group and to bring in these changes. We’re all very excited about it.�

A grand opening celebration is expected to be announced once the renovations are complete. For more information or to buy tickets, go to www.emagine-entertainment.com/locations/ emagine-lakeville. Laura Adelmann is at laura. adelmann@ecm-inc.com.

Prokopowicz honored by attorneys association proposal by legislators and numerous other key stakeholder organizations was not only complex and incredibly time consuming, but also exhausting and frustrating at times. Throughout the difficult negotiations and challenging legislative process, Prokopowicz advised all involved of the proposal’s impacts throughout the numerous iterations it went through and to draft the final bill language needed to make the proposal a reality. Prokopowicz put in significant time and effort in the drafting process, was always available for consultation, and was critical to the successful outcome the association and pros-

ecutors across the state achieved. The drug sentencing reform legislation is one of the most important legislative accomplishments the MCAA has been able to push through and secure the passage of in recent decades, said Dakota County Attorney Jim Backstrom. “This successful outcome could not have been achieved without the hard work and dedication of Phil Prokopowicz.� MCAA executive director Robert Small remarked, “Prokopowicz is so deserving of this award. His leadership at the Capitol with legislators was paramount to our success.�

The Lakeville Area Community Band performed “An Old Fashioned Christmas� to a sold-out audience Dec. 9 at the Lakeville Area Arts Center. It was the new band’s final performance of the year. “It was a wonderful night to get our community in the holiday spirit,� said LACB Director Janice Differding in an email to the newspaper. The event included sing-alongs and a variety of classics, an opera performance of “O Holy Night� and a jazz performance of “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.� Differding said next year the band will likely add a second evening performance. Upcoming concerts in 2017 include a joint Rosemount Community Band performance at Steeple Center. Summer performances are June, July and August concerts at Antler Park. The 65-member band continues to grow and will start rehearsing again Jan. 24. (Photo by Laurel Mochinski)

One song in the cantata asks the shepherds, “If they told you she wasn’t married, would you still come?� The story raises questions we deal with today: What if couples have a relationship that the community is convinced is wrong, but they know in their hearts is right? How can people follow what they believe is God’s guidance, when everyone around them tells them they’re wrong? “I like to develop dramas that explore what Bible characters actually wrestled with in their time,� said Johnson. “And then I look for music that takes those concepts and speaks to us on a heart level.� Presbyterian Church of the Apostles is at 701 E. 130th St. in Burnsville.

New Rosemount city administrator feels city is primed for growth by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The city of Rosemount will have a new “chief operating officer� soon. Rosemount recently hired Logan Martin as the next city administrator to replace Dwight Johnson, who is retiring at the end of the month. It’s a big job, one that touches almost every Rosemount resident’s life in some way, whether they know it or not. A city administrator is often referred to as the CEO of a city. They’re the top appointed official responsible for daily administrative operations. Taking the job in Rosemount was a logical step for Martin, who is currently wrapping up his duties as the city administrator of Bayport before he starts next month. Martin is a Dakota County LEVY, from 1A said. “The water meters have an estimated useful life of 20 years. We have a number of meters ... that have exceeded that 20 years.�

boy at heart. He grew up down the road in Hastings, and he has close family who live in Rosemount. He said he feels Rosemount is really well positioned for growth in residential, commercial and retail development. “It’s happening,� Martin said. “There’s land available. They’re averaging a couple hundred new residential homes per year. East of downtown is just exploding. I’m just excited to join the team.� He said he sees UMore Park, a 4,772-acre property owned by the University of Minnesota in eastern Rosemount, as an attractive and interesting parcel that could be revitalized for redevelopment. During Martin’s time with Bayport, he oversaw the construction of a new fire station and worked on several economic development projects.

He will have a larger staff to work with compared to Bayport, which is a city of about 3,300 residents just south of Stillwater. “There’s more development opportunities (in Rosemount,) but Bayport is a full service community,� Martin said. “It will be similar. Rosemount will have just a few more layers of staff to connect and partner with.� His boss is the Rosemount City Council and his job is to direct all of the city’s departments on a daily basis. “I make sure the city council’s desires and policy issues are met,� Martin said. “The goal is that you really don’t know we’re there. The streets are plowed. The street lights are on. The water flushes. The parks are mowed. If everything is going well, we’re doing the job.�

Martin has a deep background in housing development. “I spent a fair amount of time in community development projects,� Martin said. “So I guess that’s an area of expertise.� He plans to forge as many partnerships with the many organizations in Rosemount as he can. “I’m also a people orientated person,� Martin said. “One of my strengths is working toward collaborating with current players whether they’re (homeowner associations), the (Dakota County Technical College), or Flint Hill Resources. It’s all about the people and building that level of trust. It allows us to the get the work done we need to get done.� Officially hired last month, Martin was one of four finalists interviewed chosen from a

list of 39 applicants. The position opened up after Johnson announced his intention to retire after eight years. Martin hopes to continue to guide the city in a positive direction. “We have a new council member (Heidi Freske) starting in January too,� Martin said. “And the whole council is new to me. We’re going to get together to make sure I know the council’s goals for a strategic planning session soon.� When Martin is not forging partnerships and directing staff, he spends his free time golfing, travelling and camping with his wife. Martin will start his work with Rosemount on Jan. 3. His salary is $115,960.

Among other items budgeted for 2017 are two new police cars, a fire command van, three snow plows, and Toughbook laptops for police and fire personnel. Infrastructure projects planned for 2017 include resur-

facing of three tennis courts, Sportcourt floor replacement at the Apple Valley Community Center, improvements at the Apple Valley Aquatic Center and Redwood Community Center, and a lift station replacement.

Prior to adoption of the 2017 tax levy and budget on Dec. 8, the City Council held its annual Truth in Taxation public hearing. The hearing gives the public a forum to discuss the city portion of their proposed tax bills

with public officials. No members of the public spoke at the hearing. Information about the city’s 2017 tax levy and budget is available on the city’s website, www.cityofapplevalley.org.

Residents in Lakeville support Holyoke Ave. plan by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lakeville’s street improvement plans for its historic downtown were generally welcomed by residential neighbors during a Dec. 8 neighborhood meeting regarding the project. City Public Works Director Chris Petree said what started as a milland-overlay road project for Holyoke Avenue expanded after input from the Downtown Lakeville Business Association, which has long advocated for additional signage to highlight downtown businesses. The project now includes installing four monument signs, one at City Hall with messaging, replacing boulevard trees that are at the end of their life, adding decorative elements including planter benches and replacing tree grates, streetlights and sidewalks. A left turn lane on 210th Street (County Road 70) will also be built at Holyoke Avenue for traffic heading north toward Lakeville’s downtown. Neighbors expressed support for the proposed

road work, which is slated to begin next summer following Pan-O-Prog. A majority of senior neighbors voiced opposition to an option to extend the sidewalk on the east side of Holyoke Avenue, but Heather Horn, a mother of three young children, stifled tears as she shared concerns for her children’s safety and pleaded with the city to extend the sidewalk. “I know this is not going to be popular with my neighbors,� Horn said. “But I don’t want (my kids) hit by a car.� She said drivers regularly speed through the neighborhood and she is worried her children could be hit. Horn added she also understands her neighbors’ cost concerns and does not want an assessment either. Petree said new sidewalks are typically 100 percent assessed to property owners, but this area is “a very unique situation� because it is through the downtown corridor and considered a major connector to significant places such as City Hall, the library, parks and the Heritage Center.

“If there was a desire, I think as staff we would be looking at other options for the sidewalk and not necessarily assessing,� Petree said. He said if a majority of the neighbors supported extending the east side sidewalk to match the length of the west side, the city would look at “creative options� to fund it. Another neighbor said he was concerned about safely walking to church, since many of the members are in the senior apartments downtown. Neighbors also raised concerns about flooding in James Jensen Park, noting that three years ago during Pan-O-Prog children were playing in the drainage waters after a big rain and could have been caught in a current. Some residents also cited concerns about seeing children jumping off the bridge into the waters. Petree said city officials are aware of the drainage challenges, and are looking at ways to address drainage and ponding issues in that area as well as south of 210th Street. Neighbor Bonnie Clark said in an interview their biggest concern has yet to

Kealey: Heart of City race in Burnsville deserves city designation by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Burnsville City Council Member Dan Kealey, who heads a popular 10K race here each September, is seeking a city designation for the event that would include publicity through city channels. 2 : 4" 0 ¨ÜA˜b en¡nÂŁeAQ˜nb 2Ă?ĂŚĂ“Ă?ô¨Ă?Ă?ÂŒĂśb Ă“¨ĂŒĂ“ Ă?ÂŒn e¨Âƒt

0Â?ÂŁ[n ¯¤Ă—Ă&#x;

A roadblock to the designation, which requires council approval, is that the Heart of the City 10K, 5K and 1K isn’t organized by a local nonprofit organization as city policy requires. The event, now held under the umbrella of the Burnsville Fire Muster, is sponsored by Burnsvillebased Rixmann Cos. as a fundraiser for the Kids Feeding Kids program of the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Twin Cities. In recent years the Boys and Girls Clubs considered and rejected a plan to open a Burnsville club. Kealey, a Rixmann Cos. employee who chairs the event’s board, says

the city should change its policy restricting cityassisted “community� and “legacy� events to local nonprofits. Why not also give the designations to events that contribute to local causes? Kealey argued at a Dec. 13 council work session. The 10K event isn’t run by a nonprofit but could write a check to the Burnsville Youth Collaborative, a cause that fits the event’s mission, Kealey said. “The way our policy is structured, I think is not necessarily the most ideal,� Kealey said. His council colleagues may need more convincing. Council Member Bill Coughlin defended the

nonprofit requirement. “That’s on you,� he told Kealey. “I’m not willing to change that.� Council Member Mary Sherry questioned how the city would determine that an event has adequately benefitted a local cause, as Kealey suggested. Council members agreed to table the discussion and seek more information about the ramifications of assisting events not run by local nonprofits. There may be “unintended consequences,� Mayor Elizabeth Kautz said. City policy extends assistance to events that meet several criteria. Legacy events, whose non-

profits must be established specifically to manage the event, receive more assistance, including a city staff liaison to coordinate city services. The city contributes 50 percent of the cost of services such as police, fire, public works and parks. The council now recognizes three legacy events: the Burnsville Fire Muster, the International Festival of Burnsville and the Art and All That Jazz festival, which hasn’t been held since 2012. Community events receive slightly less assistance. The city will consider covering 50 percent of the city service costs and doesn’t provide a staff liaison. The organizer must be a local nonprofit but needn’t be set up specifically to manage the event. Both legacy and community events come with city publicity — and that’s what his event is lacking, Kealey said. The city touts the events through email blasts, its website calendar, the city newsletter, social media, Burnsville Community Television and the reader board in front of City Hall. Debuting in 2012, the run/walk got ample city

publicity as a stand-alone event, even though it was under the Fire Muster umbrella, Kealey said. That publicity has dropped to almost nothing, he said. A community event designation would be sufficient for the event, he said. It will be especially important if the event is forced to break away from the Fire Muster because of its rapid growth, Kealey said. Organizers aren’t planning that, but continued growth could make it impractical to run the event on Saturday morning during the Fire Muster, he said. The Fire Muster is held the week after Labor Day; its busiest day is Saturday. The run/walk grew from 442 participants in 2015 to 541 this year, Kealey said. Next year it will add a 15K race. The event took over for the former Tender Hearts Foundation Half Marathon, a legacy event begun in 2004. It was unsponsored in 2012 and removed from the roster of legacy events.

Newspapers assemble new reporting team

Scouts donate to Hometown Heroes

Every fall Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts across the nation fundraise by selling Trails End Popcorn. Local Scouts also sell holiday wreathes and receive donations to deliver popcorn to Hometown Heroes. Pack 227 of Apple Valley, which is comprised of 63 kindergartners through fifth-graders from Cedar Park STEM Elementary and Southview Elementary schools and is chartered by Apple Valley Rotary, chose the Apple Valley Fire Department as its heroes. Fire Chief Nealon Thompson welcomed the Scouts to deliver and donate more than 40 wreathes and 20 popcorn items to Fire Station No. 1 on Hayes Road. These will be distributed to all the fire stations and firefighters. “They work hard to keep us safe every day, now they get popcorn and wreathes to make their Christmas fun,� said Sebastian Wolf, a second-grader. Third-grader Roman Bear said they wanted to thank the firefighters for everything they have done. (Photo contributed by Charlton McMillan)

Sun Thisweek and the Dakota County Tribune have assembled a new reporting team for the cities of Eagan, Rosemount and Farmington. Two current staff members — Tad Johnson and Andy Rogers — are switching coverage areas, while the staff’s newest member — Maren Bauer — will be covering the city of Farmington and the Farmington School District. Johnson is assigned to cover the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District, and Rogers will cover city government in Eagan and Rosemount. Bauer, a recent St. Olaf College graduate, has taught English in two different California high schools and most recently was a manager of the Sylvan Learning Center in Coon Rapids. She said she has been contemplating a career change in recent months and felt journalism was the direction she wanted to go. “I’ve always wanted to be a writer, but I feel that journalism intersects my passion for words and experience in helping others get their story heard,� Bauer said. “I’m eager to tell the story of Farmington’s residents.� As a former teacher, Bauer is familiar with the inner workings of schools and understands the goals at the district, building and classroom levels. While being naturally interested in education stories, Bauer is interested in covering issues facing the growing community of Farmington. “I am passionate about education and children as they are the foundation for our future,� Bauer said. “As I orient myself to the town of Farmington, I see the collaboration among students and teachers, and between the school and the community. The tides have been changing in this rural community, and I look forward to tracking and analyzing the impact of these changes on Farm-

ington and its members.� Johnson, who has been a managing editor at the newspaper since 2003, has most recently covered municipal government in Rosemount and its schools. A resident of Rosemount from 2003-08, Johnson has developed many relationships with residents involved in many of Rosemount’s civic groups. He’s been a volunteer with Rosemount Leprechaun Days, the Halloween Committee and Rosemount Area Historical Society. In addition to writing many stories about the people in Rosemount, Johnson said he’s had the privilege of covering the accomplishments of the Rosemount High School marching band, the arts along with those of other Rosemount students in academics. “I consider the schools in Rosemount very special places,� Johnson said. “The teachers and staff at these schools are very talented.� With the new reporting team, Johnson and Rogers will be offering combined coverage of Rosemount. Rogers, a former sports editor at the newspaper, has been the Farmington editor for the past three years. Among the major issues Rogers has written about in the past few years are special levy proposals, the district’s Innovation Zone efforts and economic development issues. “Through the years I’ve met many interesting people while covering Farmington,� Rogers said. “It’s a vibrant community with lots to offer. I hope that I’ve kept residents informed about the city they live in and the people they share it with.� Rogers will concentrate on municipal government, business and civic life in Rosemount, while Rogers and Johnson will give a combined approach on education and school news. Municipal government in Eagan will be Rogers’ primary focus along with business, civic life and school news in Eagan. “I’m excited about the transition to Eagan and Rosemount, both of which are closer to home for me,� Rogers said. “Change is good. I’m up to the challenge. I’ve already met several wonderful people in both communities and I know I’m just getting started.� Johnson will be covering district-level operations Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan schools and focus on news from Eastview and the School of Environmental Studies along with its feeder schools. Andrew Miller, who

has been the newspaper’s Apple Valley and Thisweekend arts and entertainment editor for almost nine years, will continue to cover municipal government in Apple Valley along with school news at Apple Valley High and its feeder schools. “Since the RosemountApple Valley-Eagan School District is so large, the newspaper gives building-level coverage a team approach,� Johnson said. “We know that our readers value education coverage, so we attempt to offer as much news as we can from the great things happening inside these schools every day.� The Eagan, Rosemount and Farmington coverage areas are also served by the staff’s sports editor Mike Shaughnessy and news assistant Darcy Odden. Shaughnessy focuses sports coverage on the varsity teams for nine different Dakota County high schools. “Mike does an outstanding job offering extensive coverage of the accomplishment of these student athletes,� Johnson said. “Like academics and other activities, sports gives these young people life lessons along with creating lifelong memories for them. We know readers value this sports coverage since civic pride is reflected in these athletes’ efforts.� Odden is the reason the newspaper can be as responsive as it is for submitted content. She assembles nearly all of the news people read that isn’t written by a staff member. Editing calendars, news briefs and releases are among her primary responsibilities. “I’ve always felt that community newspapers should be about readers,� Johnson said. “People know it’s important to have their events and news published in the paper because their friends and neighbors are reading it.� The newspaper welcomes story ideas and submissions in all news categories. The sidebar with this story gives people a guide of who is the best contact with their information.

More than 60,000 newspapers are distributed weekly in the communities of Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Farmington, Lakeville and Rosemount.

Upward real estate trend continues in Twin Cities Home prices in the Twin Cities metro area have continued to exhibit an upward trend throughout 2016, according to the St. Paul Area Association of Realtors. In November the median sales price increased to $232,000 – which is 5.8 percent over 2015 and 13.2 percent over 2014. Days on market figures showed that inventory remains tight, down 16.4 percent to 61 days. “Increased sales prices, increased total sales volume, and reduced market time have all been very positive this year,� said St. Paul Area Association of Realtors President Bob Clark. New listings in the Twin Cities region decreased 1.1 percent to 3,743. Pending sales were up 9 percent to 3,780. Inventory levels fell 22.8 percent to 10,706 units. While demand remains high, supply continues to be challenging, according to SPAAR. Months supply of homes for sale was down 27.6

percent to 2.1 months, a historical low. “Thankfully, the Twin Cities has seen healthy new construction starts throughout 2016, which has helped offset some challenging inventory levels, said Clark. Financial markets were volatile in the days leading up to and following the presidential election. In addition, the long anticipated interest rate increases appear to finally be here. Recent interest rate increases of 66 basis points have already been reported ahead of expected Federal Reserve action on rates. Financial markets are already pricing future rate increases into their outlooks. With one month to go in 2016, SPAAR is looking to exceed 2015 numbers for sales volume and price. Looking ahead to 2017, these along with inventory and interest rate activity will be key metrics to watch going forward, according to SPAAR.

Sports Lightning grinds out another victory over Rosemount Second-ranked Eastview girls improve to 4-0 by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Tuesday’s EastviewRosemount girls basketball game played out much like the three the teams played last season – intense and low-scoring, with the Lightning prevailing. Eastview shot just 28 percent from the field but held Rosemount to 11 first-half points in a 45-34 victory at Eastview High School. The Lightning, ranked second in Class 4A, improved to 4-0. Rosemount lost its second consecutive game after starting the season with three victories. Tuesday’s game was the first in the South Suburban Conference for both teams. Last year Eastview defeated Rosemount three times, the last coming in the Section 3 championship game. Rosemount guard Maddy Olson, who set a school record with 39 points in a game against Cretin-Derham Hall last Friday, was held to 12 points Tuesday. No other Rosemount player scored more than seven. Forward Megan Walstad and guard Rachel Ranke led Eastview. Walstad had 12 points and five rebounds while Ranke finished with nine points and 12 rebounds. Guards Allie Pickrain and Macy Guebert had eight points each and Miranda Crenshaw grabbed six rebounds. Rosemount forwards Nicole Elias and Helen

Boys hockey Eastview scored all its goals in the second period and held Hastings to 10 shots in a 3-0 victory Tuesday night at Hayes Arena. Noah Desrocher, Jake Ford and Reese Orman scored in the second period for the Lightning, 3-2 overall. The goals came in a 4-minute, 25-second span. The first two were at even strength while Orman’s came with the Lightning skating shorthanded. Goalie Zach Herro made 10 saves to earn the shutout. The victory is the third in a row for Eastview, which also defeated Lakeville North 4-3 on Dec. 8 and Rosemount 4-1 on Saturday. Eastview is 2-0 in South Suburban Conference games. Chris Fan scored at 2:02 of overtime in the victory over Lakeville North, which tied for the South Suburban Conference championship last season.

The biggest requirement for Thursday’s South Suburban Conference Nordic skiing meet at Valleywood Golf Course has been fulfilled, thanks to a storm that dropped at least 6 inches of snow on the metro area last weekend. Unlike last week’s conference opener at Cleary Lake Park where the athletes needed to use roller skis, on Thursday they can bring their snow skis to compete on the real thing. Thursday’s varsity races are scheduled to be three-leg-by-3-kilometer freestyle relays with the boys race starting at 3:15 p.m. and the girls at approximately 3:45. The conference features four teams that competed in the 2016 state meet – Eagan and Burnsville on the boys side, and Burnsville and Eastview on the girls side. It also has the 2016 state pursuit runner-up, Eagan senior Patrick Acton. Eagan senior Ryan Steger, who was eighth in the 2016 state meet, had the fastest boys time of 13 minutes, 13 seconds in the 5-kilometer roller ski meet Dec. 6 at Cleary Lake Park. Acton was second in 13:25. Lakeville South senior Tyler Haroldson was fourth in 14:05, Eagan senior Ryan Conroy was sixth in 14:39, Kevin Gunawan of ISD 196 (Apple Valley, Eastview, Rosemount and the School for Environmental Studies) was eighth in 14:58, Eagan’s Dylan Schuller

was ninth in 15:17, Ben Barry of Lakeville South was 10th in 15:29 and Nathaniel Blichfeldt of Burnsville finished 11th in 15:33. Blichfeldt, a senior, was 11th in pursuit at the 2016 state meet. Eagan was first in the boys team competition with 174 points, 13 more than Prior Lake. Lakeville North and Lakeville South will compete as a combined team during the regular season and placed third at last week’s meet with 134 points. Burnsville (109), ISD 196 (94) and Northfield (82) completed the standings. Burnsville junior Kelly Koch, 11th at the 2016 state girls pursuit race, took first in the SSC roller ski race in 14:26. Second in 16:03 was Lakeville North senior Emma Drangstveit, who also helped lead the combined Lakeville squad to first. Burnsville senior Krista Holmstrom took third in 16:15. Violet Tessier of Lakeville South came in fifth in 17:30. Lakeville skiers Brianne Brewster (South) and Monica Toussaint (North) were seventh and eighth in 17:43 and 17:44. Tess Grunklee of ISD 196 (the girls co-op consists of Apple Valley, Eagan, Rosemount and SES) was 11th in 17:56 and Gabby Kraemer of Eastview was 12th in 18:07. Lakeville scored 169 points in the team competition, 26 more than Prior Lake. Burnsville was third with 139. Northfield placed fourth, with Eastview (115) and ISD 196 (47) taking fifth and sixth.

Defending South Suburban Conference boys swimming champion Eagan won its opening dual meet of the season Friday night, as did Lakeville South, Eastview and Shakopee. The two SSC teams that did not swim Friday, Rosemount and Burnsville, were scheduled to meet Tuesday night at Burnsville. Eagan, which was third in the 2016 Class AA meet after winning the state title the year before, defeated Farmington 93-88 at Dakota Hills Middle School. The Wildcats had a 30-point lead with two events remaining before swimming exhibition in those final two races. The Wildcats had eight first places and also had the fastest time in the 100-yard breaststroke, one of the events where

they swam exhibition. Jasper Appleton won two events, the 200 freestyle (1 minute, 49.36 seconds) and 100 butterfly (54.44). Colin Kehoe was first in the 50 freestyle (23.07) and 100 freestyle (49.57). Max Stigman (200 individual medley, 2:02.19) and Jordan Nguyen (diving, 224.20 points) also won individual events.

Gable Steveson hasn’t lost a high school wrestling match in more than two years, and that unbeaten streak continued last weekend when the Apple Valley junior won his weight class at the Council Bluffs (Iowa) Classic last weekend. Steveson, a two-time state high school champion and two-time United World Wrestling Cadet division champion, defeated Kanye Hutchison of Pittsburg, Kansas, 16-3 in the championship match of the 285-pound bracket. The loss was Hutchison’s first of the season, while Steveson improved to 8-0. Nate Larson (7-1) won the 145-pound class as

Apple Valley rolled to the team championship in the 39-team tournament. The Eagles scored 622 points, with Fort Dodge, Iowa, second at 449.5. Apple Valley won the tournament for the second consecutive year. Totino-Grace, the only other Minnesota team in the tournament, placed 10th. All 14 Eagle wrestlers placed in the top 10 at Council Bluffs. Kyle Rathman (138) and Tony Watts (160) were second in their weight classes. Regan Schrempp (113) and Jonah Johnson (182) placed fourth. Jalen Thul had a fifth-place finish at 170 and Sebas Swiggum was sixth at 132. Apple Valley will return to the Minnesota Christmas Tournament, where the Eagles placed second last year, Friday and Saturday in Rochester.

Ethan Elumba won two events for Apple Valley in its dual-meet opener at Shakopee. After scoring 170.15 points to take first in diving, Elumba came back five events later to win the 100 backstroke in 1:05.19. He also competed on two Eagles relays that took third place. Also winning for Apple Valley were Chase Brustad in the 500 freestyle (5:14.07), Jakob Fossen in the 100 breaststroke (1:07.16) and the 400 freestyle relay team of Brustad, Fossen, Branson Skogrand and Erik Vogel in the 400 freestyle relay (3:57.36).

The Lightning took first in eight events on its way to victory at Prior Lake.

Shooter indicted on first-degree murder charge Man hospitalized after crash by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Dakota County grand jury has added first-degree murder and other charges against a man accused of two shootings — one fatal — at the Dollar Tree store in Burnsville. The county attorney’s office originally charged Grant David Hendrickson, 27, of South St. Paul, with second-degree murder and attempted first- and seconddegree murder in the Nov. 7 shootings. The grand jury indicted Hendrickson for first- and seconddegree murder and five other

SETTLEMENT, from 1A

In the second investigation, “the bulk of (Barnes’s claims) were not substantiated,” O’Leary Sullivan said. “The city took Ms. Barnes’ complaints seriously and they believe they addressed them thoroughly with the investigations.” Neither of the investigations, nor the settlement, resulted in disciplinary action to officers whom Barnes alleged had ha-

crimes, County Attorney James Backstrom announced Thursday, Dec. 8. Hendrickson allegedly shot and killed 69-year-old Donald Joseph Hortsch, of Rosemount, during a series of alleged assaults at the store. Hortsch, shot in the head, was a customer who didn’t know Hendrickson, authorities said. According to the criminal complaint, Hendrickson went to the store after getting a call from his girlfriend in which she said she had learned he was a convicted sex offender. The woman learned that from a story employee she knew and

rassed or assaulted her, Barnes said. O’Leary Sullivan said the city opted for a settlement with Barnes to bring finality to the matter, as the case could have lasted years — first at the Minnesota Department of Human Rights and then at court. “Ms. Barnes was a good employee and the city really did want to part on good ways with her,” O’Leary Sullivan said. The League of Minnesota

had argued with, the complaint said. Hendrickson is also accused of attempted murder involving a 27-year-old man whom authorities said will be left paraplegic by shots Hendrickson fired. In addition to the murder charges, the grand jury indicted Hendrickson on charges of attempted first- and second-degree murder, first- and second-degree assault and possession of a pistol by a prohibited person.

Cities, to which the city of Apple Valley belongs, paid $90,000 of the $100,000 settlement, and the city paid the remaining $10,000. According to a press release from Shannon Law, the law firm representing Barnes, reports of sexual harassment by female employees in Apple Valley city government have not been limited to Barnes’ case in recent years. “Barnes and other female

employees repeatedly reported a sexually hostile work environment at Apple Valley in the past few years,” the release from Shannon Law stated. Barnes, who said she was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder during the second city investigation into her claims, said she wanted to publicly share her experience in hopes of preventing similar situations from occurring to others.

Faribault. Michael, Mosby and a passenger in the car, Ellen L. Mosby, 68, of Lakeville were reportedly not injured in the crash. Thomas Mosby was transported to the District One Hospital in Faribault. Road conditions were not reported, and State Patrol’s information is described as incomplete. No alcohol was found in any of the drivers’ systems, according to the report. Laura Adelmann is at laura. adelmann@ecm-inc.com.

“I want to help other people in this situation. It’s not easy to come forward — you are so looked down upon and doubted,” she said. “If people are getting away with this repetitively, it’s sickening.” Since her resignation, Barnes has returned to college and is pursuing a career in human services.

Kids holiday classic comes to Lakeville stage ‘The Best Christmas Pageant Ever’ runs through Dec. 29 by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Trouble is brewing at a church’s annual Christmas play after six misfit, delinquent siblings land roles in the show. That’s the premise behind “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever,� which local theater group The Play’s the Thing Productions is presenting this month at the Lakeville Area Arts Center. “It’s a very well-loved show — kids and families and parents know it well, but most of them have read it but never seen it,� said director Dayna Railton, founder of The Play’s the Thing. “It’s about the Herdman kids — they basically terrorize their teachers, other students and parents, and they go to auditions for the Christ-

mas pageant because they hear the church gives free treats, and they snatch all the major roles.� The production is adapted from Barbara Robinson’s bestselling 1971 book of the same, which was made into a TV movie in 1983. The Lakeville show, which runs through Dec. 29, features a cast of over 30 actors, made up primarily of youths. Railton said she “double cast� the show, with one cast of actors in speaking parts and the other in group scenes in a given performance, and the casts switching for the following performance. Audiences will enjoy the fun and playful spirit of the production, Railton said, as well as the show’s message. “The Herdmans wreak havoc and cause problems,

but they do get the spirit of the season,� she said. “The lesson is that things and people are not always what they seem, and there are lessons of kindness, tolerance and humanity to be learned from the Nativity story.� Show times for “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever� are 7:30 p.m. Dec. 15-17, 21-23 and 29, and 2 p.m. Dec. 18. Tickets are $14 and are available online at www.LakevilleAreaArtsCenter.com or by calling 952-985-4640. Following “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever,� The Play’s the Thing plans to present “Sister Act: The Musical� at the Lakeville Area Arts Center in May.
