Blaze claims family’s home by Andrew Miller

SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A family of eight was uninjured but lost their home in a fire Tuesday night in Apple Valley. Apple Valley fire crews were called to a four-unit residential complex on the 14200 block of Hemlock Court North just after 9 p.m. on a report of a fire in one of the residences. The blaze was a “two-alarm fire� and all available Apple Valley fire units responded to the scene, Fire Chief Nealon Thompson said. Six or seven family members were home when the fire broke out, and all managed to escape the residence unharmed. Firefighters had the fire largely under control within 12 minutes of receiving the emergency call. Fire crews remained on the scene for about four hours. The unit in which the fire broke

out sustained heavy damage and was a “total loss,� Thompson said. The three adjoining units suffered smoke damage, but were still habitable following the fire. The cause of the fire remains under investigation. The only injury reported was to an Apple Valley firefighter who slipped on the ice and bruised his shoulder. Thompson described the injury as minor and said the firefighter was back on duty Wednesday morning. “It’s one of those winter hazards firefighters have to deal with,� Thompson said. “Getting your footing on the ice, when you’re hauling big hoses, is something we have to worry about.� American Red Cross volunteers were providing assistance to the family displaced by the fire, including immediate needs and Charred bedsprings and other damaged household items sat beside long-term recovery planning, the heaps of ash outside the home on Hemlock Court North that w as renRed Cross reported. dered uninhabitable by a fire Tuesday night.

Award for 70 years of service James D. Green of Burnsville received the Certificate of Achievement on Dec. 13 at the monthly meeting of the Apple Valley Knights of Columbus Council 9096 at Church of the Risen Savior in Burnsville. Green was awarded the certificate for his service to the Knights of Columbus for 70 years. The award was presented by B.J. Bertram, Apple Valley Knights of Columbus program council director. Also recognizing Jim for his service to the Knights of Columbus with a certificate was Lloyd Cybart, general agent for Knights of Columbus Insurance. Grand Knight Jerry Kuennen and District Deputy Dan Hindes recognized Green for his many years of service. At the age of 21, Jim Green joined the Knights

of Columbus on Dec. 1, 1946, along with 50 other candidates returning from World War II. His first KC Council was the St. Raphael Council in Springfield, Minn. Green transferred to the Apple Valley KC Council in 1985 as one of the 100 charter members. Over the past 31 years Green served as the church program director for a number of years. He has also coordinated the volunteer sign-up for the brat sales at Von Hanson’s in Apple Valley and arranged for members to pass out Tootsie Rolls to raise funds for organizations such as Special Olympics. He has worked at pancake breakfasts, spaghetti dinners and bingo game nights. On Sundays Green would pick up and drive senior citizens to Sunday Mass. It was reported that

during the fiscal year 2015-2016 the Apple Valley Knights of Columbus through Church of the Risen Savior delivered over 12,500 pounds of food to the Burnsville 360 Communities Food Shelf. For this effort the Knights received the Food for Families Reimbursement Program Award plaque for the fourth year from the national Knights of Columbus organization. For the fiscal year 2016-2017 starting this past July, Council 9096 has already collected 6,291 pounds of food. Kuennen thanked the Risen Savior parishioners for their monthly donations, the 20 members present and the approximately 10 members led by Green who over the years have assisted with deliveries to the food shelf for making this possible.

Opinion In the spirit of caring, Armful of Love is a gift by Anika Rychner SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A 4-year-old girl jumped into the arms of 360 Communities’ Sophia Bond and squeezed her tight after she gave her a new winter coat. When the little girl arrived at Armful of Love with her mother in the minus 10 degree weather to pick up their gifts, Sophia quickly noticed that the girl was wearing no less than four sweatshirts to keep warm. She immediately picked out a donated coat and put it on the little girl. While this wasn’t that special toy a child wants this time of year, this coat was something special this girl needed – a gift that many of us take for granted. Ask anyone who volunteered at the 360 Communities Armful of Love holiday gift program this year, there were plenty of stories of families who were moved to tears by the generosity of their sponsors. One mother drove away with her car filled with presents for her children. After driving a few miles, she turned the car around and came back. With tears streaming down her cheeks, she hugged the volunteers and thanked them profusely for helping her give her children the best Christmas they had ever had. The kindness and compassion shown to recipient families goes far beyond gifts. Creating a joyful, safe and dignified experience for families builds trust. And we saw that trust in action several times, as individuals in their program-qualifying interviews disclosed greater challenges such as domestic and sexual violence and were connected with our experts from the Lewis House. This year 360 Communities Armful of Love volunteers were able to match 1,001 families in need. That’s 4,100 individuals, 2,600 of whom are children. We matched these families with more than 400 sponsors, from faith communities, to businesses, to families, to individuals. They shopped, wrapped, and delivered their gifts to our donated warehouse space

in Burnsville. This was the third year in a row that ShopJimmy and MN Home Outlet owner, Jimmy Vosika, generously donated the over 12,000 square feet of warehouse space necessary to store and distribute gifts for 1,000 families. We also received more than $12,000 in cash sponsorships from the community to support the cost of operating the program. Armful of Love takes many helping hands. More than 325 volunteers gave their time to interview families, match them with sponsors, set up the warehouse and receive and distribute gifts. Volunteering to distribute gifts at Armful of Love has become a meaningful and fun holiday tradition for many businesses, including Thomson Reuters, Pepsico, and Uponor, as well as Rotary clubs and local police departments. It has also become a family tradition for several local families who want to spend time together giving back. New this year, thanks to the generosity of Costco, we were able to distribute winter coats during gift distribution. When Burnsville Costco employees noticed a surplus of winter coats in their stores, their store manager allowed them to purchase them at cost and donate them. 360 Communities received approximately 100 coats that we were able to distribute, many to individuals who arrived at Armful of Love to pick up their gifts without a coat to their name. Armful of Love is much more than presents. It is an opportunity for the community to support the community, help families in need feel hopeful and loved, and to spread the joy that the season is all about. Armful of Love Coordinator Sue

Volunteers enjoy their work during 360 Communities Ar mful of Love effort. (Photo submitted) Lewis reflected on the impact that the program has on anyone who contributes. “It’s amazing to see what volunteers and generous community members can accomplish,” she said. “Over and over I witnessed volunteers going above and beyond, moved to contribute more time or extra gifts when they heard the stories of family hardships.” Above all, she knows that the culture created by those volunteers and sponsors is what makes Armful of Love unique. Sue deserves a special thank you for her leadership and hard work in coordinating Armful of Love, and creating a culture focused on serving people “in the spirit of caring.” “In the spirit of caring for our neighbors” leads off the 360 Communities mission and drives all of the critical work our staff and volunteers do to prevent violence, ensure school success, and promote long-term self-sufficiency. Armful of Love has finished for 2016, but

there are still many ways you can make an impact in your community through 360 Communities. Consider giving a tax-deductible year-end contribution to 360 Communities and/or volunteering. If you have never donated to 360 Communities, now is a great time to start. The Otto Bremer Trust has awarded 360 Communities a grant that will match new donations, dollar for dollar, up to $45,000. Visit us online at 360Communities.org to give. While you are there, read more stories about the hope and support we are able to provide with the community’s generosity and support. All the best holiday wishes to you and your family.

University of Minnesota should fire Claeys by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

As a father, grandfather, educator, taxpayer and University of Minnesota alumnus, I think it’s time for the University of Minnesota to fire its head football coach, Tracy Claeys, and conduct a thorough review of the football program to ensure in the future that standards are upheld and promoted. Explaining my rationale will include an explicit discussion of sexual activity that some readers may find disturbing and distasteful. My recommendations come in part from 22 years of teaching at the University of Minnesota and working on projects with the Athletic Department. This included teaching student athletes about leadership at the Athletic Department’s request. This gives me insight into what is and is not appropriate for hosting recruits as well as how some coaches guide and mentor athletes. First, Claeys failed one of the major responsibilities of his contract: “Recruiting and managing the recruitment of student athletes.” The contract, obtained via a Minnesota Government Data Practices Act request from the University of Minnesota, can be downloaded as a PDF here: http://ow.ly/OfRb307lE8n. A shocking 80-page University of Minnesota investigative report notes that on Sept. 2, 2016, some current team members brought a youngster, being recruited for the university’s football team, to a room. Several of them, including the recruit, had sex with a woman whose

judgment was impaired by alcohol. Some of this was very violent. The woman asserts that several times she asked men to stop. According to the university report, parts of the sexual encounters were recorded on video and photographed. University officials interviewed 28 students, read electronic messages, viewed videos and studied pictures of the incident. The report, first obtained by KSTP-TV, is available here: http://bit.ly/2hGEfUs. The report explains that after the initial sexual interactions, much of the ensuing sexual activity was forced. The victim described the scene after the assaults: “The approximately two-foot strip of floor between the bed and television stand was covered with yellow/gold condom wrappers and used condoms. There was a pile of around 12 used condoms on top of a white plastic set of drawers next to the television stand. Semen was dripping down the drawers.” Coach Claeys failed to convince members of the football team that this kind of activity is not acceptable and that the violators had failed the team, the university and the state of Minnesota by participating in this terrible event. And they reportedly exposed and involved a high

school recruit to behavior that is completely unacceptable under university and NCAA expectations. Second, in a Dec. 15 tweet, the coach failed to, as his contract requires, “encourage academic and moral integrity and excellence.” As football team members were boycotting preparation for a bowl game, Claeys wrote: “Have never been more proud of our kids. I respect their rights & support their effort to make a better world!” Nothing in this tweet reflected disagreement with the mistreatment and assault of a vulnerable young woman by football team members, which the university report documented. Nothing in his tweet mentioned the ethical standards that he and the university expect of all students. Only after the report was released, and students called off the boycott, did Claeys make public statements criticizing violence against women. Some have defended the team’s boycott (and Claeys’ tweet) by arguing that they were demanding due process for teammates. Some noted that the accused football team members are AfricanAmerican and that there is a long history of American judicial systems treating African-Americans unfairly. Due process is important. There are many instances of racial injustice. But Coach Claeys’ public actions during the proposed boycott did not demonstrate respect for women and or make “moral integrity” a priority. However, Claeys is very well-paid. His contract shows he has a yearly base and supplementary salary totaling $1 mil-

lion, along with a yearly contribution of $400,000 to $600,000 in a retirement plan. This is more than many people will earn in a lifetime. The contract contains many other “perks” including this one: Claeys can bring up to four family members or friends on any trip that the team takes to play a game. The university will pay all their travel expenses. Despite this enormous salary and fringe benefits, Claeys has not provided the kind of leadership and supervision that his contract requires. He had an opportunity to teach and have influence at a time when offenders and the rest of his team sorely needed that guidance and experience. He has not demonstrated that he is a model for other leaders. He will not inspire confidence in parents and prospective student athletes. Minnesotans, and others around the country, are signing a petition urging the university of terminate him: http://bit. ly/2hMeunX. Claeys is not the only problem that the University of Minnesota has. But firing him is an important step to promoting “moral integrity” at the University of Minnesota. It’s time the university develops a football program that embraces high standards, teaches character and insists on integrity.

MTV, from 1A having an intimate conversation with a potential match. He obviously couldn’t share the details of what happens this season, but promised “lots of drama. Our season is definitely one of the more exciting ones.� Siemers couldn’t reveal whether he actually found “the one.� In the show, billed as an ambitious dating experiment, MTV puts the cast through an extensive process that supposedly predetermines perfect matches among the couples. Each week, contestants pair up with whom they believe is their perfect match. At the end of each show, a truth booth reveals whether they’re correct. If they all find their perfect match, they will win $1 million split among them. It can work. A few former cast members remained in the relationships they’d formed on the show. One couple even went on to get married. Mix in romance, outgo-

ing personalities and the $1 million prize, and drama is a common outcome. While there was plenty of emotion and passion throughout the filming, Siemers said that he remained true to himself. “I’m not really into all the drama,� Siemers said. “I’m not for the lying. I’m direct and up front. That was my role. I didn’t get into too many altercations. I didn’t try to get too out of my person. You’ll see in the show. But it did get hard to hold it together sometimes.� One of his favorite parts of the show were the challenges in which castmates competed for dates to increase their odds of finding the perfect match. “Usually the dates were awesome, but not everybody gets to go,� Siemers said. “And you never knew what the challenge was going to be.� Siemers himself is curious about many of the show’s details. He hasn’t seen much of the final edit outside of the trailer, which premiered in midDecember. While MTV’s focus has

Since filming, Siemers moved to Los Angeles hoping to work on his music career, a passion of his for years. “My first big show was on the (University of Minnesota campus) with Waka Flaka Flame my first year out of high school, and I realized that music and entertainment was something I wanted to do,� Siemers said. He’s focused on promoting “Are You the One?� as well, and admits it’s odd now that a camera isn’t following his every move. “It was strange to wake up without getting mic’d up right away,� Siemers said.

Ground-breaking year for Eagan by Andy Rogers

SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Several acres of ground beneath Eagan’s feet were dug up to become home to several intriguing developments in 2016. The Minnesota Vikings began development on a new facility at the old Northwest Airlines location, and a large commercial district labeled Central Park Commons opened up on the old Lockheed Martin location this year. A few days before Christmas, Kraus-Anderson Construction began erecting structural steel on the new Minnesota Vikings headquarters in Eagan. They expect to celebrate the topping off of the headquarters building in February 2017, according to a release from the Minnesota Vikings. Construction of the indoor practice facility will follow, with an anticipated completion date of March 2017. Since the ground breaking, several hundred thousand cubic yards of soil have been moved, retaining walls for building have been installed, thousands of feet of underground utilities have been installed and the foundations have been set. The 40-acre Vikings campus, located off I-494 at the intersection of Dodd Road and Lone Oak Parkway, will include administrative offices for Vikings staff, an outdoor stadium, five practice fields, an indoor practice facility, team auditorium, meeting rooms, media center, locker room, weight room, specialized training rooms and space for therapy. According to KrausAnderson, the construction of Phase I will be completed in approximately 14 months. Construction of the remaining multi-phase, mixed-use development will depend on market

analysis and occur in stages over the next 10-15 years. Twin City Orthopedics is also progressing on its new 88,000-square-foot, full-service orthopedics center on the Eagan Campus. Across town at the northwest corner of Yankee Doodle Road and Pilot Knob Road, Central Park Commons held almost a dozen grand openings in 2016. Coupled with the opening of the Twin Cities Premium Outlets in 2014, residents didn’t have to leave Eagan to do their Christmas shopping. A Hy-Vee grocery store, Sierra Trading Post, Total Wine, a new Fairview Clinic location, Hobby Lobby, HomeGoods, Marshalls, Tile Shop and Ulta all opened their doors in 2016 at the old Lockheed Martin site. A DSW and Piada Italian Food are scheduled to open in early 2017. Restaurants such as Punch Pizza, Cafe Zupas, Naf Naf Grill and R Taco also have plans to start serving food to customers soon. Other tenants planning to set up shop include Orangetheory Fitness, Petco, Bank of America, European Wax Center, Eagan Nails, Five Below, Massage Envy, Men’s Wearhouse, AT&T and Xfinity have plans to come to Central Park Commons. A Baskin Robbins/Dunkin’ Donuts location, the first of several planned in Dakota County, is scheduled to open next year across the street. A United Properties Development has also received preliminary approval to build apartments, retail and a hotel on 24 acres near the Central Park Commons retail area in Eagan.

fest, a popular city-wide festival, celebrated its 50th year in 2016. The annual celebration, which includes a parade, car show, carnival, ambassador coronation and fireworks, has brought many smiles to residents for decades. But, for several reasons, the majority members of the Funfest Committee planned to move on after 2016 putting the life of the event at risk. But the remaining members and several members of the community banded together to reform the committee and recommit to 2017 Funfest and have big plans for 2017.

Pipeline Installation of an 8-mile, 20-inch natural gas pipeline, which will cross several wetlands in Eagan and Rosemount, as well as a portion of Lebanon Hills Regional Park, is expected to begin in spring 2017. Residents and environmentalists were worried about the proposal from

Northern Natural Gas, which Xcel Energy would use to generate electricity at Black Dog power plant in Burnsville, which is converting from coal to natural gas. The pipeline follows an existing line and easement owned by the company, so there’s not much the residents or the county could do to prevent the installation. Instead of digging trenches, the company is planning to install the pipe by boring underground and plant native trees and plants following construction.

Landfill tug-of-war made headlines in Burnsville in 2016 by John Gessner

landfill collected trash from 1969 to 1990. Under the state-funded Closed Landfill Program, the MPCA proposed to dig up waste in the landfill property, which has been in the R.B. McGowan family since the mid1960s, and replace it atop a liner to prevent contaminants from polluting groundwater. Waste on the east side of the property would be moved to the west. The state would own that property, leaving 40 acres of developable land to landfill owners R.B. McGowan Co. and Freeway Transfer, a garbagetransfer station on the property, the MPCA said. Without the protective liner, groundwater will be endangered once dewatering ceases at the Kraemer Mining and Materials quarry south of the landfill, the MPCA says. Dewatering will end when mining ends, which Burnsville officials say could be 20 years from now. When dewatering ends, the water table will rise to the level of the landfill, leaving some of the waste sitting in groundwater that will be exposed to contaminants such as heavy metals, medical waste, volatile organic compounds and cobalt, according to the MPCA.

SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Out of sight and mind to most in Burnsville, the old Freeway Landfill west of Interstate 35W made headlines in 2016 as the property owner and state officials deadlocked over plans to clean it up. The stalemate threw the cleanup, which officials say is needed to safeguard future drinking water supplies, into the federal government’s lap. In addition to potential action on the landfill after years of inaction, the year brought other changes to Burnsville. The Police Department had a testing year, with two officer-involved fatal shootings and events raising questions nationally about officer safety and police-community relations. The November election shook up the City Council, with newcomers signaling a greater openness to development that could include apartments. A plea bargain and a life sentence closed the case of 20-year-old Anarae Schunk, whose September 2013 murder “broke the hearts of many people in our community,â€? according to Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom. From the pages of Sun Thisweek, here are some Police shootings highlights of 2016 in Three Burnsville poBurnsville. lice officers who fatally shot a man acting wildly LandďŹ ll and brandishing a knife In late January, city outside a McDonald’s officials cheered a would- restaurant March 17 were be deal to finally bring cleared by the Dakota the Freeway Landfill into County grand jury in June.

The officers fired as he ran. The grand jury found the shooting legally justified, but Kong’s family filed a civil suit claiming the city failed to properly train its officers in deadly force and mental health crisis response. The suit seeks a series of compensatory and punitive damage awards each exceeding $1 million. On Sept. 26, a Burnsville officer shot an armed, reportedly suicidal man, who died of multiple gunshot wounds. Jamie Joseph Lewis, 48, was killed outside of the Dahcotah View Apartments at 1605 Cliff Road E., where he lived. Prior to the Kong and Lewis shootings, Burnsville hadn’t had a fatal officer-involved shooting since 1981. “To quote one of our officers, we lost our innocence that day,� Police Chief Eric Gieseke said in July, referring to the Kong shooting. “Our people have changed. It’s tough.� Burnsville police wore blue mourning bands after a July 7 shooting in Dallas that killed five cops and wounded nine, a July 17 shooting that killed three officers and wounded three in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and a July 29 shooting that killed an officer and wounded another in San Diego, California. Since the Dallas and Baton Rouge shootings,

Burnsville officers have doubled up in squad cars when possible, a departure from past practice, Gieseke said in August. Officers in uniform also wear bullet-resistant body armor, a practice that Gieseke said began under his predecessor, Bob Hawkins. He said he tightened the policy to allow no exceptions. Some officers have bought their own heavier armor to resist rifle rounds, not just shotgun rounds, Gieseke said. But complaints against Burnsville police — six were filed with the department in 2015 — rarely involve use-of-force incidents, Gieseke said. Burnsville has used body cameras for six years, the first department in Minnesota to do so.

Schunk case comes to a close Prosecutors accepted a plea agreement in the 2013 stabbing death of Anarae Schunk, sparing her loved ones the trauma of a “lengthy and difficult trial,� Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom said. Schunk’s exboyfriend, Shavelle Oscar Chavez-Nelson, pleaded guilty Jan. 15 to one count of second-degree unintentional murder. The 20-year-old Burnsville woman was killed on or about Sept. 22, 2013, at a home in Rosemount. Chavez-Nelson is serving life without parole for the related shooting death of a man outside Nina’s Grill in Burnsville on Sept. 22. As part of the deal in the Schunk case, ChavezNelson was sentenced to 17 years to run concur-

rently with the life sentence he’s serving in Stillwater, Backstrom said. “With that in mind, we’re not going to be able to put him in prison any longer,� Backstrom said. “But I did believe it was important for Anarae’s family, for our community, and for justice that he also admit to a murder offense related to Anarae’s death. And that’s what occurred. I accepted the plea, with the support of Anarae’s family, to avoid a lengthy and difficult trial.� Prosecutors originally charged Chavez-Nelson with intentional seconddegree murder. A grand jury added a charge of first-degree premeditated murder. His then-girlfriend, Ashley Marie Conrade, 26, of Rosemount, was sentenced to 15 years in prison in February. She pleaded guilty a year earlier to two felony counts of aiding an offender after the fact — one for each of Chavez-Nelson’s two murders.

City elections The two Burnsville City Council members elected Nov. 8 bring an inclination to mix things up to hasten development and redevelopment in the aging suburb. Both Dan Gustafson — a twice-elected council member from 2005-2012 who didn’t seek re-election that year — and newcomer Cara Schulz say the city needs to re-examine old zoning policies and pursue more mixed land uses. “Everyone I talk to, they want to see cranes in the city,� said Gustafson, 64. “They want to see development going on. They

want to see expansion of the tax base.� During his second term, Gustafson tried unsuccessfully to convince a council majority to allow new apartment projects to tap into the growing “high-end� rental market. “There are developers out there ready to come forward,� he said in a postelection interview. Gustafson was the top vote-getter in a four-way race for two four-year council terms. He won 31 percent of the vote, followed by Schulz (28.1 percent), Planning Commission Chairman Jim Bradrick (22.8 percent) and Robin G. Harris, the first African-American general election candidate for city office in Burnsville (17.5 percent). Council Members Mary Sherry and Suzanne Nguyen didn’t seek reelection. Elizabeth Kautz, the mayor since 1995, won her eighth term without opposition.

Other elections Darlene Miller, owner and CEO of Permac Industries in Burnsville, lost her bid for Congress in the 2nd District Republican primary in August. Miller, who was endorsed by retiring U.S. Rep. John Kline, of Burnsville, ran a distant second to the winner, former radio host Jason Lewis, in a four-way race. Lewis went on to defeat Eagan DFLer Angie Craig in November. Republicans kept their grip on state legislative seats in most of the city. Sen. Dan Hall was re-elected in District 56, See BURNSVILLE, 10A

Local athletes make mark across broad spectrum of competition by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

From accomplishing something no Minnesota wrestler has ever done to making a play that wins a world championship, athletes with Apple Valley connections starred at every level of competition. The 2016 sports year also marked the departure of one of the state’s most successful high school coaches. Sun Thisweek Newspapers takes a look back at 10 major events from the preceding 12 months:

gan, Snodgrass scored to tie the game with less than 10 seconds left in the third period, then got another overtime gamewinner to send the Lightning to the state tournament, where it won the consolation title. Now a senior, Snodgrass is trying to help Eastview get to state one more time before moving on to the University of Connecticut.

Six for six

Freed glides to title

Apple Valley’s Mark Hall completed his case to be known as the best high school wrestler in Minnesota history when he won his sixth individual state championship in six tries. Hall, now wrestling at Penn State, also helped the Eagles win their 11th consecutive team championship as they defeated St. Michael-Albertville 31-26 in the Class 3A final. Hall was 277-4 in his Apple Valley career and was undefeated in his last three seasons. As the Eagles move forward without Hall, their top wrestler is junior Gable Steveson, already a two-time state champion and two-time Cadet World champion. Steveson went undefeated last season to win the Class 3A 220-pound championship and is ranked first this season at 285.

Eastview senior Margie Freed won the state girls Nordic skiing pursuit championship and helped the Lightning take seventh place in the team competition. It was the fifth time at state for Freed, who placed third in pursuit as a junior. She built a 25-second lead in freestyle portion of the pursuit race and had the fourth-best time in the classic leg. That was good for a 15-second margin of victory for Freed, who went into the state meet as the favorite after winning the Section 1 championship.

Winning the world

Capping a career Last spring, Apple Valley posted an opening for head boys soccer coach for the first time since 1978. Chuck Scanlon, who founded the program and whose teams won 586 games and nine state championships, retired. “I’ve done pretty much everything I wanted to do,” he said. “So I think it’s the right time to step back.” Scanlon also coached ringette and later girls hockey at Apple Valley. His girls hockey teams won two state championships. One of his career highlights is that his soccer and hockey teams were undefeated (11-0) in state championship games. Apple Valley named Chris Scanlon, Chuck’s son and a former Eagles player, to the boys soccer post.

It’s not easy to become a legendary hockey player before you’ve even finished high school, but Eastview’s Natalie Snodgrass is on her way. In early January, Snodgrass was the leading goal scorer for the U.S. team that won the gold medal at the Under-18 Women’s World Championship. Not only that, she scored the tying goal in the third period and the winner in overtime as the U.S. beat Canada 3-2 in the championship game. Snodgrass performed more late-game magic after rejoining the Eastview girls team. She scored the game-winner in Still a force overtime as the Lightning defeated East Apple Valley lost three starters from a Ridge 3-2 in the Section 3AA semifinals. team that finished third in the state Class In the championship game against Ea- 4A boys basketball tournament. But the

Eagles aren’t ready to go away, not while they still have junior guard Tre Jones. Now the Eagles’ unquestioned leader, Jones had a triple-double in his team’s season opener against defending Class 1A champion Minneapolis North. Apple Valley won five of its first six games, with one of the victories coming on the road against second-ranked Lakeville North. Gary Trent Jr., who helped Apple Valley win the 2015 state Class 4A title and would have been a senior this year, opted to attend a prep school in California. In November, he signed with Duke University, which won a national championship with former Eagles star Tyus Jones at point guard. Duke also is one of numerous Division I schools pursuing Tre Jones.

of both halves to escape with the victory.

Back on the sideline

One of the best-known sports figures at Eastview High School doesn’t play, but everybody knows when he’s not there. Michael Sheridan, longtime manager of the girls basketball team and an assistant in the school’s physical education department, had a health scare during the spring. He was diagnosed with a brain tumor, later found to be benign. Hundreds of well-wishers visited Sheridan while he was in the hospital, including several University of Minnesota football players, led by quarterback Mitch Leidner. He also had a FaceTime video conversation with Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson, Sheridan’s favorite player on his favorite team. Sheridan now is back at Eastview, Maintaining tradition working at the school and assisting the Eastview had been in eight state girls basketball team. basketball tournaments, with one championship and three runner-up finishes, More medals for throwers when the keys to the program were handNatalie Manders of Eastview and Kied to new head coach Molly Kasper.

Airport noise

In an Oct. 12 meeting at City Hall, a crowd of Burnsville residents unleashed their frustration with more frequent aircraft noise caused by an increase in departures over the city. Officials at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport readily admitted the problem and said they’re working on plans to bring relief to Burnsville and other cities affected by increased southerly departures from north-south Runway 1735. Remedies could be a year away, according to Minneapolis officials of the Federal Aviation Administration, which is managing a new set of national rules for maintaining safe spaces between departing and arriving aircraft.

Fire Department expanding

Robert Alpers

With emergency medical calls rising yearly, the Burnsville Fire Department is using a federal grant to hire four more firefighter-paramedics. The new responders will be deployed on a 12-hour daily shift, a departure from the department’s 24-hour shifts. The new shift, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., mirrors the busiest times for emergency medical calls, Fire Chief B.J. Jungmann said. The City Council voted Sept. 20 to accept the $1.1 million grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. It will fund salaries and benefits of the new hires from March 2017 through March 2019. The city applied for the grant through FEMA’s Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response program. Aging of the population is the primary cause of the rise in medical calls, Jungmann said. Emergency medical services nationwide are feeling the strain, he said.

Police station, eral funds flowing for the garage embattled, $150.7 million Orange Line bus rapid transit project along I35W from Minneapolis to Burnsville. The vote followed a summer of discontent over the Dakota County Board’s June decision to pull out of CTIB in 2019. The county says it doesn’t get a fair return in transit projects for its share of the quarter-cent sales tax and $20 motor vehicle sales tax contributed by the five CTIB counties — Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Anoka and Washington. Talk among members of pulling or curtailing CTIB’s contribution to the Orange Line because of the pullout led backers to rally in defense of the project. Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges headlined an Aug. 11 appearance at the Orange Line’s future Nicollet Avenue Station in

A City Council majority agreed in August to add a garage costing up to $2.5 million to $10.1 million in improvements already planned for the station and adjacent City Hall, which opened in 1989. Council members Bill Coughlin and Mary Sherry wanted the garage to remain in a future phase of city facility projects as originally planned. But a past police chief, Mike DuMoulin, argued against any delay, saying an enclosed garage was discussed nearly 30 years ago when City Hall and the police station were planned. Though it didn’t make the cut at that time, a garage was part of a police master plan that was to have been reviewed every five years, said DuMoulin, who became a Burnsville cop in 1965 and retired as chief in 1998.

Longtime civic leader Robert Alpers died March 16 at age 82. A father of three, Alpers was a longtime youth sports coach and a former Burnsville Athletic Club president and commissioner. He served on the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage District 191 School Board from 1977 to 1983 and later was appointed to the board of the Dakota County Community Development Agency. Alpers served as chair of both boards for part of his tenure. He was a Rotary member who also served as district governor, a member and head usher at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Savage, a Knights of Columbus member, a Burnsville Fire Muster volunteer and a campaign chair for the late Burnsville City Council Member Charlie Crichton. Alpers was well-known at Edward Neill Elementary in Burnsville, his family’s neighborhood school, where he served as a Reading Buddy for many years after his children were grown. He coached sports teams for all three. And he played slow-pitch softball until he was nearly 60.

Kautz meets Trump Mayor Elizabeth Kautz was part of a five-member delegation from the U.S. Conference of Mayors that met with Presidentelect Donald Trump Dec. 15 at Trump Tower in Manhattan. The group promoted the conference’s agenda for American cities, said Kautz, a past conference president. In broad strokes, Trump voiced support, Kautz said in an interview. Cities are “the engine of the economy,� she said. “We drive it. (Trump) looked at me and said, ‘I get it; I’m there.’ � John Gessner can be reached at (952) 846-2031 or email john.gessner@ecm-inc.com.

Rosemount sees changing leadership landscape New administrator, council member will start in 2017 by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

For leaders in any organization, the landscape is always changing. In some instances the leadership landscape changes as it has in some ways in Rosemount. The past year ushered in changes that will bring a new city administrator and council member to the forefront in 2017. City Administrator Dwight Johnson announced in September he would be retiring from the position he had held for the past eight years, and Logan Martin, the city administrator for Bayport, was selected as his replacement in November. Johnson has worked in the public sector for 42 years. “I’ll miss working sideby-side with the staff and council,� Johnson said. “I will miss the camaraderie.� Johnson oversaw a number of different projects and initiatives in his eight years. Those included three apartment complexes, new or remodeled stores, and the city’s first park-and-ride along with park field development at Flint Hills Fields and the Ames Athletic Complex. Johnson will be moving to the Highland Park area of St. Paul to be closer to family, which includes his oldest daughter and mother-in-law. “I’m looking forward to the next chapter of my life,� Johnson said. Johnson also listed among the city’s accomplishments during his time one that saw completion in 2016 – the Steeple Center to serve arts and senior programs, along with being a gathering place for all ages. The 10,000-square-foot addition includes a full catering kitchen, expanded restrooms, a lobby area

The addition, built on the site of the former St. Joseph Catholic School, has hosted a wide range of events including art shows and classes, senior gatherings and workshops, holiday events and more. Martin will take the helm in January to help guide accomplishments in 2017 and beyond. The Hastings native who has family in Rosemount said the city is wellpositioned for growth in residential, commercial and retail development. “It’s happening,â€? 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.â€? Martin, who has served as city administrator of Bayport since 2013, previously worked at Oakdale and holds a Master of Public Administration degree from Hamline University. He was one of four finalists interviewed chosen from a list of 39 applicants.

ties for sports and other endeavors and bringing more everyday shopping developments to Rosemount. Freske said there needs to be a long- and shortterm plan for park facility development that could come together with public and private investment. As for economic development, people are still talking about getting more shopping options. “People are spending their money in Apple Valley and Eagan, and they want more options in Rosemount,â€? Freske said. Demuth, a professional geologist, said she was pleased she was able to bring attention to water quality issues during her four years on the council, including a project that would place a master control system for irrigation lines throughout the city. She also was pleased the city was able to maintain city services while delivering a decrease in the city portion of property taxes to the average valued home from 2008 to the present.

Among the most vocal supporters of the bond referendum were Rosemount Area Hockey Association leaders who said the rink was needed based on its participation growth of 40 percent over the past five years from 400 to 640, less than ideal practice times, the inability to host big tournaments, the need to travel to rinks outside of Rosemount to find practice and game space, and the economic boost it could provide. If it was approved, the estimated tax impact to the median value home of $238,250 would have been $99 per year for the 20year life of the bonds.

The city says most commercial and industrial properties would have experienced an annual property tax increase of around 1.6 percent. Some opponents were critical of the city for setting the special election in May when they said voter turnout would be low. Opponents also said that the price tag for the bond package was too high and disproportionately benefited those who skate.

Economic development While the city didn’t get the funding to advance the projects, many other private developments started in 2016 and most were completed during the year. Among the notable changes were the completion of The Rosemount senior living facility, the Dakota County Community Development Agency’s senior building called Cambrian Commons, the start of Flint Hills Resources Pine Bend Refin-

ery’s energy generation plant, downtown activity that included work at the First State Bank of Rosemount and a new Culver’s restaurant and Swag Shop, Arby’s and Chipotle on County Road 42 and continued housing starts. The Rosemount, which includes 90 units attached to the adjacent Steeple Center, offers a variety of independent and assisted living options, memory care, rehabilitation, care suites and respite care. Registered nurses are available on site or on call 24/7. The 60-unit Cambrian Commons at Highway 3 and Lower 147th Street includes 34 one-bedroom and 26 two-bedroom units. Both of the sites have amenities such as a community room with kitchen, club room, exercise room and underground heated parking. Email Tad Johnson at tad.johnson@ecm-inc.com.

Thisweekend Music, and coffee, at Lakeville concert series Coffee Concerts marking 10th anniversary in 2017 by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Lakeville Area Arts Center’s popular Coffee Concerts series returns in 2017 with four performances between January and June. The upcoming season — which is titled “A Perfect 10� as a nod to the 10th anniversary of the series — kicks off Jan. 15 with the Minnesota Bach Ensemble, conducted by Andrew Altenbach, performing an array of Baroque concertos. The husband-andwife team of Rolf Erdahl and Carrie Vecchione, of Apple Valley, founded the series 10 years ago when they were looking for a performance venue for their OboeBass! duo, in which Vecchione plays oboe and Erdahl bass. The couple inquired at the Lakeville Area Arts Center and were told if they started a chambermusic series there, they were welcome to be among the performers. The concert series has been held at the Lakeville venue since its inception. “There’s a great pool of talent in the Twin Cities area, and it wasn’t hard to find a wide variety of top performers who love to perform in intimate groups for our audiences,� Erdahl said. “This series has grown steadily by word of mouth and other support from a loyal following that’s been with us

Lakeville council to change in 2017 by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A new City Council will shape Lakeville’s future in the new year as it updates the city’s comprehensive plan, which outlines the city’s development goals and aspirations. New City Council members Brian Wheeler and Luke Hellier will take the oath of office and incumbent for their first terms in elected office and Council Member Doug Anderson will be sworn in as Lakeville’s new mayor at the first meeting, Jan. 3. Development plans are sure to be a main topic as major changes come to the city’s core downtown in 2017, the result of key actions the business community and downtown businesses took on this year. City officials worked with the Downtown Lakeville Business Association to plan long-desired sidewalk improvements that will occur as part of the regular road overlay work slated to begin this summer, after Pan-OProg, Lakeville’s 10-day summer celebration. The project includes installing four monument signs as gateways to the city’s core downtown. One at City Hall will include electronic messaging. Other project aspects involve replacing boulevard trees that are at the end of their life, adding decorative elements including planter benches and replacing aging tree grates, streetlights and sidewalks. A left turn lane on 210th Street (County Road 70) will be built at Holyoke Avenue for traffic headed north toward the city’s downtown. This spring will also bring changes to another business district in the city at the I-35 and County Road 50 intersection. The former Burger King restaurant, which closed several years ago, will be torn down and the land used for a future interchange. Although no road improvements are scheduled,

the city paid $700,000 for the land, using Right-ofWay Acquisition Loan Funds, a no-interest loan program administered by the state and Metropolitan Council. Under the program, the city will not have to begin repaying the loan until the interchange project is constructed. Dakota County staff reportedly told city staff the county will enter into a joint powers agreement to reimburse Lakeville 55 percent of the interchange costs. The land was officially mapped in 2004, which identifies it as needed for future street projects. Another issue the council will review in early 2017 is park dedication fees. Concerns by some council members, including Anderson, led to the decision to delay action in setting the fee until council can review its parks plans, needs and costs of both projects and maintenance.

A look back Several milestones occurred in Lakeville during 2016, including the 50th Anniversary of Pan-OProg and the opening of Land of Amazement 2.0 on Oct. 13 in Steve Michaud Park. The city’s $357,000 premier destination playground is reflective of the original Land of Amazement, opened in 1992, both in design and community contribution. Lakeville contributed $85,000 toward the project, local businesses, individuals and organizations gave another $276,000, as well as their time and labor to bring the project to life. The ribbon-cutting featured city officials, key individuals and business members and drew a sizeable crowd, many children. They endured speeches then ran through the freshly-cut ribbon to climb monkey bars, hang from spinners and the zip line, race down slides and chase through vast corridors of the play structure. Delighted parents took

photos or followed their gleeful youngsters through the maze-like structure. Pan-O-Prog, Lakeville’s annual community celebration turned 50 in 2016, and all were invited to the party, July 4-10. Planning started months earlier than normal, and included the return of carnival rides that featured about a dozen mechanical rides and carnival games with prizes. The event was commemorated with a special 50th edition of the PanO-Prog button. Visitors could view a display featuring the history of PanO-Prog and purchase a commemorative booklet. Pan-O-Prog’s grand parade for the first time had no single grand marshal, but instead featured a group of significant PanO-Prog alum, including its past presidents and Miss Lakeville winners. At the annual Lakeville Arts Festival in August, visitors were invited to help with a community art project that involved coloring a six-foot-tall painted moose. The finished moose was installed in the recently revamped Pioneer Plaza in downtown Lakeville. Lakeville and Dakota County officials celebrated the groundbreaking of the fourth taxpayer-subsidized senior housing complex in the city on June 22. Argonne Hills, a 62unit development for seniors ages 55 and up, is being developed near the intersection of Kenwood Trail and Kenerick Avenue behind the Argonne Village Shopping Center and Cub Foods. The facility will include 36 one-bedroom and 26 two-bedroom units at rents starting at $600 for those meeting income guidelines. Amenities at the building include a community room with kitchen, an exercise room, screened porch and underground heated parking. This year also saw some significant losses in Lakeville as well.

Johnson, 80, was a volunteer firefighter in Lakeville for 25 years, served on the Dakota County Planning Commission, was 1989 Lakeville Area Chamber of Commerce president, volunteered as a Shriner and a Mason and was a St. John’s Lutheran Church fellowship committee chair. He and wife Audrey created and built one of Lakeville’s first real estate companies 50 years ago, building many of the downtown apartment buildings as well as the Johnson building, also in downtown Lakeville. Ahmann, 90, of Prior Lake, owned the Chart House Restaurant with a group of about five friends for over 30 years and was a member of the American Legion, VFW, Lions Club, Minute Men and Knights of Columbus. He helped open the Chart House in 1968, and was well-known as “Cap’n Dan,� the Chart House’s most prolific manager and greeter.

District 194 School Board Member Bob Erickson described Ahmann as the “consummate ambassador of Lakeville.� “He was always dressed to the nines,� said Erickson, former Lakeville city administrator. “He made every dinner guest feel special as they celebrated their evening.� Other people in Lakeville made news for legal reasons, including Sandra Grazzini-Rucki, a Lakeville woman who hid her two teen daughters from their father, family and authorities for more than two and a half years during a custody battle. Grazzini-Rucki, 51, was sentenced to 250 days in jail and six years probation after a jury convicted her in July of six felony counts of deprivation of parental rights. Grazzini-Rucki testified at her trial she picked up her daughters Samantha and Gianna Rucki, then 14 and 13 years old, on April 19, 2013, after they ran from their Lakeville home, barefoot and without jackets through the snow. She said she left them two days later in the care of strangers at the White Horse Ranch in Herman,

Minnesota, telling them she would pick them up in about three days. She never returned or contacted them again. While the children were missing, David Rucki worried, searched and worked with police to find the girls. At her trial, GrazziniRucki testified she was dishonest with officials and refused court orders to provide information about the girls’ whereabouts to protect them from the girls’ father David Rucki because he abused herself and their children. David Rucki has always denied those claims and testified at her trial he never abused the children or Grazzini-Rucki. The girls were discovered by law enforcement executing a search warrant at the ranch on Nov. 18, 2015, as part of an extensive search effort led by Lakeville police. Through counseling, the girls have been reunited with their father and siblings, returned to school and are working to resume their lives. Laura Adelmann is at laura. adelmann@ecm-inc.com.
