Portillo’s withdrew application, Red’s Savoy Pizza and Starbucks in the works by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Apple Valley residents held their breath this fall as they waited for news about construction of a highly anticipated restaurant — Portillo’s. Many were confused and disheartened when they learned the popular Chicago-style hot dog chain was not, in fact, coming to the city. The story begins over a

year ago. The Ryan Real Estate Building, located on the corner of 147th and Cedar Avenue, was looking to do some remodeling. Ryan Real Estate co-applied with Launch Properties to develop a restaurant concept in the existing building. The Apple Valley Planning Commission began talking about it generally in February 2017 and started developing a sketch plan. In April, Portillo’s ex-

pressed interest in moving into the Ryan Real Estate Building, and began working with the City Planning Commission. Portillo’s applied for several permits, including a conditional use permit for a drive-thru, as they planned to construct a 32-car double-lane drive through on the site. They also requested a conditional use permit for land use, as the high volume of food sold at the restaurant

Lakeville warehouse transforms to holiday workshop Sends toys and supplies to children around the world by Kayla Culver SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The giving spirit arrived around Thanksgiving and is not over until every donation has been processed and shipped to a child in need through the Christian nonprofit Operation Christmas Child. The national organization is underway inspecting donated shoeboxes filled with school supplies, small gifts, hygiene supplies and toys for children in more than 100 countries ranging from ages 2 to 14. The Lakeville warehouse is no exception. According to Nicole Sheldon, Operation Christmas Child’s regional director for the upper Midwest, gifts donated by individuals and families from Minnesota and Wis-

consin are brought to the Lakeville warehouse to be inspected, sorted and shipped. The shoeboxes are collected the third week of November and they can be filled with what each individual person wants to give to a child as long as it follows the organization’s giving rules. Inappropriate gift items include anything that will break, spill or melt. The organization also doesn’t allow any kind of food, medication or anything war related. Every item that does not make it in the shoebox is donated to a local charity. “A lot of the kids that receive our gifts say that it’s the first gift they’ve received ever. We want it to be a really nice gift. We’re very careful about it being a simple but nice gift,� Sheldon said.

Sheldon also compares the warehouse to Santa’s workshop. There is a large tree filled with sparkling lights front and center of the doorway

and rows of volunteers inspecting, filling and organizing shoeboxes. Volunteers review the donated shoebox. They are able to take out any

inappropriate items and add toys to any box that was less than full. The warehouse is filled with approximately 300 volunteers per hour every day. According to Sheldon, there were between 8,000 to 10,000 volunteers at the Lakeville warehouse last year. The shoeboxes go to children in need around the world. The countries the boxes are shipped to are those where parents have to make the decision to feed their children or pay for school supplies to send them off to get an education. “Sometimes a pencil and a shoebox makes all the difference and means a kid can start attending school,� Sheldon said. Sheldon emphasizes that the nonprofit sends shoeboxes to those who do not have any other means of support. There is no government, no food shelves and no nonprofit to assist any low income families.

Local dancers shine in ‘Nutcracker’ Rosemount and Eagan residents perform in Ballet Minnesota’s 30th anniversary production

by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

This year marks the 30th annual run of Ballet Minnesota’s “Nutcracker,� and two south-of-theriver dancers, Matthew Halpaus and Bailey McKenzie, will take the stage. Halpaus, 17, will play the part of “Rat King.� He lives in Rosemount and is an alum of Diamond Path Elementary and Rosemount Middle School. He’s currently finishing up his high school requirements in Apple Valley, which gives him the flexibility to attend dance classes in the mornings and long rehearsals every day after school, and rehearsals lasting between four and six hours on Saturdays and Sundays. He’s been dancing since he was 3 years old, and he joined Ballet Minnesota when he was 8. He began his dancing career at JAMM Dance Company in Rosemount, where he danced competitively. He also took a series of intensive hip-hop classes at Heartbeat Studios in Apple Valley. The first parts Halpaus ever played in productions were Peter Pan and Tarzan. Although he left the state to pursue an acting opportunity in California for a few years, he came back to Minnesota when he was 12 and has been dancing ever since. He’s participated in performances of “Nutcracker� since 2009, and last year Halpaus was the understudy for Rat King. Halpaus said he enjoys playing the antagonist in “Nutcracker� this year. “As I am warming up and getting into character,

Left: Matthew Halpus, Rosemount resident and Apple Valley student, holds the Rat King mask he’ll wear during Nutcracker performances. Above: Bailey McKenzie, an Eagan resident, will play several parts in this Ballet Minnesota’s 30th annual production of the Nutcracker.

I tell myself I am the Rat King, a pure beast and that I’m going to defeat the Nutcracker,� he said. Although he usually finds himself playing lighter roles, he said he enjoys stretching himself to play a dark character. Although some productions of “Nutcracker� emphasize the size of Rat King, Ballet Minnesota presents a small and agile character. Halpaus is especially excited about the sword fighting scenes. “Our rat king is really dark. As a dancer, you get the choreography, but each person can play the rat king differently,� Halpaus said. “You can turn it into whatever you want with your personality.� The dancers did their first run-through on Sun-

day, and Halpaus said he is confident the show is going to run smoothly again this year. “We put on a very good show. It’s a good performance for people who have seen a lot of ballet or people who have never been to a ballet before. We always put on a fantastic show,� Halpaus said. Halpaus shares the stage with Eagan resident McKenzie, 20. She’s playing several roles as part of the corps de ballet, including an adult in the living room scene, a snowflake at the end of act one and a Spanish or Lead Arabian Divertissement. “Arabian is always my favorite. The costume’s fun, the headpiece is fun, and the dance is different than the energy from the

other dances,� McKenzie said. “It’s fun to do something different and not what we typically do in ballet class.� Although this is her first year as part of the company, McKenzie was a student at Classical Ballet Academy for five years. Last year she was away at school, but now she’s back and ready to work. “The Nutcracker holds a very special place in my heart. Last year was the first time I wasn’t in the Nutcracker since I was 13 when I was a student at Classical Ballet Academy. I am extremely excited to be dancing in it again,� she said. She said one of the biggest challenges has been maintaining focus and motivation during the exhausting rehearsals. She’s found a few tricks to keep

her energy up, and she tries to work as hard as she possibly can during every rehearsal. “I keep a huge bag of almonds with me and start the day with a superfood smoothie,� she said. McKenzie’s multitude of roles keeps her on stage during both the first and second acts of the show, and requires her to make sever quick costume changes throughout the performance. The many roles have also required her to spend a little extra time in the studio. “We don’t practice a lot of the dances during morning company times, so a lot of time I’ll come in evenings during the week to prepare for it,� Contact Amy Mihelich at she said. “It’s a lot, but it’s amy.mihelich@ecm-inc. definitely worth it.

Dakota County to set 2018 budget Taxes on median home to rise by 1.58 percent for county portion by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Since 2009, Dakota County’s levy change has been held below a 2 percent increase from the previous year, which has held the county portion of residential property taxes from experiencing volatility that some other Minnesota counties have experienced. The 2018 budget and levy hold more of the same, as the County Board is set to increase the total county levy 1.9 percent at its Dec. 12 meeting after a public hearing regarding the budget was held Nov. 28. Assuming a 6.9 percent market value increase for a median residential home of $243,900, the county portion of taxes is projected to increase by $15.97. The county portion of

taxes for a commercial or industrial property valued at $1 million is projected to decrease by 2.82 percent, assuming an increase in value from 2017 to 2018 of 2.2 percent. Dakota County Board Chairman Mike Slavik said the county is cutting costs without cutting corners as it aims to deliver services as efficiently as possible. He said that holding the line on taxes is no small accomplishment, crediting the work of the county’s finance staff along with County Administrator Matt Smith in assembling the budget. County Finance Director Jean Erickson said there were many difficult decisions that went into assembling the budget. The total levy is separated into two components. The operating and Capital Improvement

Plan portion is slated to increase 2.9 percent to $136.65 million in 2018, while the Regional Rail Authority is proposed to decrease 79.5 percent to $330,000. Total spending by the county is projected to increase by 3.9 percent in 2017 to $379.19 million in 2018. That increase is largely due to budget needs for transportation projects; long-term investments in parks, natural resources, libraries and maintenance facilities; information technology security; increased caseloads; and emergency housing. The county expects to add 28.6 full-time equivalent positions in 2018, which would increase its workforce by 1.5 percent. County officials say that there will be increased demands on human services and public

safety in the coming year. The state is mandating more resources for its Regional Treatment Center to address mental health needs, in addition to accommodating rising foster care placements. The county is in a good position to address these increased needs since officials say it has no debt due to fiscal prudence. Also helping the cause is that Dakota County’s property tax base is expected to increase 7.7 percent to above $500 million in 2018. That will spread the tax burden across more properties and reduce the tax rate. The tax rate is projected to fall by 5 percent to 26.593 in 2018. That is

for something important — and that it makes a difference.� Two nationally-renowned principals, Dusty Button and Rasta Thomas, will join the 30th anniversary production as the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier. With their incredible talent and raw energy, these two dancers bring a new flair to a holiday classic. Today, Ballet Minnesota’s production of The Classic Nutcracker draws an audience annually of between 8,000 and 10,000, and remains a holiday tradition by bringing magic and majesty to the stage with more than 130 local and national dancers. “Our loyal audience members may recall that we staged our first Nutcracker performance as a lunch hour matinee in Galtier Plaza, just two blocks from our studios in Lowertown,� said Ballet Minnesota’s Artistic Director Andrew Rist. “We had a very appreciative crowd for our cast of 20 dancers. Gratefully, we have only grown since then, both in our school, Classic Ballet Academy, and our Ballet Minnesota Company.� The performances take place on the campus of St. Catherine University, 2004 Randolph Ave., Saint Paul, December 15-17, 2017. Ticket prices range from $21 to $46 with discounts for seniors, students, active military and groups.

the lowest tax rate in the metro area, followed by Washington at 29.25 percent and Scott at 35.14 percent. New home construction along with rising residential property values are driving most of the tax base growth in Dakota County, as commercial and industrial tax capacity has largely remained consistent since 2009.

Opinion Repulsion of sexual misbehavior finds its voice Abuse of co-workers, subordinates, associates, acquaintances, male or female is wrong. Intimidation and coercion through power and position is wrong. Gender bias and gender arrogance is wrong. Suppression of human value, accomplishment and subsequent diminished reward, especially by gender, is wrong. Unwanted sexual advances, regardless of work or social environment, are wrong. You would think that after a few thousand years we would know the rules. There is the problem. We know the rules, but we just haven’t followed the rules. While our violations may have been in any possible combinations of characters and places it has been most frequently male to female. Even in the highest echelons of business, government, church, journalism, entertainment, sport, school and other societal structures we have given a wink and a nod to behaviors that we know are wrong. We are changing. Our acknowledgement of inappropriate acts and resulting oppression is finally emerging with both strength and commitment to change. But with change comes confusion, and we would do well to proceed with caution lest our emotions damage the very structures that enable us to change. We recommend some areas of caution. Don’t allow the frequency of reporting

ECM Editorial to trivialize abuse. So who has been found out today: a senator, past president, current president, favorite journalist, movie producer, acclaimed actor, sports icon, local legislator, mayor, judge or school administrator, priest or minister? Revelations of individual actions over the past decades may, some say, provide headlines for years to come. The risk is that the accusations become so common place that we diminish our resolve to change behavior. Don’t devalue or disenfranchise our democratic process. Elections represent the will of the people by majority vote. If we negate that process with every revelation, we trivialize our system of government. We run the risk of becoming flippant with “impeachment,” “expulsion” and “demand for resignation.” All acts of aggression and all acts of misbehavior are not equal. The political temptation to overturn an election outcome without sufficient cause is always present. Removal from office must be associated with a process and not be left to reaction of the moment. Our processes for review are inadequate.

Sen. Al Franken is both an accused and admitted transgressor and now we hear calls for his resignation. Leaving the Senate may be the ultimate resolution of his behavior but let the process play out. The issues need a structure of adjudication and the accused need some access to a fair and just hearing. Sen. Franken and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have called for ethics review. We think the review is both appropriate and necessary. Congress appears to have a cumbersome and at times inhibiting process for dealing with complaints that protect the transgressors. Now is the time to correct those systems. Now is the time and opportunity to address the standards of acceptable behavior and to establish the consequences of transgression. A Franken resignation may be satisfying to some but won’t improve the process. We should remember that the review of Sen. Robert Packwood’s ethics hearing lasted nearly three years. Such a lengthy process is unacceptable. It is a symptom of the congressional ethics review problem. Move the issues along with fairness and expediency. Politics, justice and ethics are not always allied. When the accused is an elected official the ethics review has political ramifications. It is easier to condemn the mem-

ber of the other person’s party, forgetting that the next transgressor may be from our own political list of candidates and office holders. Laws, standards and process combined with eventual precedents will help reduce political influence on ethics judgments. We as citizens must curb our political reactions if we expect our elected officials to do the same. The higher good is freedom from bullying, sexual transgression and oppression. In the midst of a very confusing and irritating political climate we are presented with an opportunity to achieve a greater good: freedom from harassment, bullying and violation of physical and emotional privacy. We are now blessed with a long-needed visibility of both the transgressions and the cover-ups. These acts will vary greatly in degree, substance, place and consequence to the victims. Some may be current and others decades old. All will require fairness to the accused and the accuser and in the end (if we will it) the behaviors of transgression and cover-up will be less frequent and ever intolerable. This is an opinion of the ECM Publishers Editorial Board. Sun Thisweek and the Dakota County Tribune are part of ECM Publishers Inc.

Letters Apple Valley police officers are all heroes To the editor: I write this letter to thank Apple Valley police officers for all that they do for everyone in Apple Valley. They are all heroes. They help so much to make Apple Valley a safe place in which to live and work. Officers and their chief, Jon Rechtzigel, are committed to working with Mayor Mary HamannRoland, staff and the City Council to making Apple Valley the 17th best city in America. Our definition of a hero is someone like our officers who protect our world and city and continue to make it a better place in which to live and work despite having to see some dark aspects every day. Our hero courageously puts on a badge each day and sacrifices more daily than most do in an entire lifetime. We wish our officers continued success. Enjoy a wonderful Christmas with your family and a Happy New Year. We see these officers in our daily lives, we appreciate them and we think they are true heroes! WILLIAM H. TSCHOHL Apple Valley

What is politically charged? To the editor: Letter writer Laura Beem (Dec. 1) seems to have missed the entire point — and obviously assumes that everything is a partisan political stunt. It is like Beem is thinking Sun Thisweek is a state

Rep. Erin Maye Quade/ DFL mouthpiece to get some articles written about her in regard to the harassment issue. I guess Maye Quade is a glutton for punishment who wants details of her personal life shouted out in megaphone style so her friends and neighbors will know about it. The letter writer admits that what happened was wrong — she just doesn’t like the publicity about our representative (as if this is somehow like a “campaign ad”?). Maye Quade has no control over how a reporter is going to treat the article. I would say it is relevant and newsworthy but outside of the fact that it was about a sitting legislator, has more to say about the workplace than politics. The letter writer believes the article should have “more balance.” What is not balanced? It is a story about what happened to Maye Quade — not a political statement. The initial confrontation was with a Democratic senator. Maye Quade responded to questions from the paper about what happened in regards to these incidents involving the House leadership, which is Republican. Maye Quade naturally would like more attention to these matters in the future and said as much. The only thing involving Republicans (outside of the growing revelations about state Rep. Tony Cornish) was really about the “no action taken.” Not that they had good options, but a “not aware of it” from Speaker of the House Kurt Daudt would have added nothing to the story. Daudt isn’t exactly publicity-happy about the subject.

So, when trying to label Lewis as “far right.” People might want to check the facts because that’s just not so. He’s working with many bipartisan groups to find better ways for the government to operate and help citizens. And those who have a problem with the Coast Guard, the Fourth Amendment or the Craft Beer Caucus, they’ve got a bigger problem than calling people names.

What is with the “politically charged” comment? The story is just as relevant in any workplace. The only thing politically charged about this issue is the letter writer’s reaction to the article. When someone assumes a political motivation, especially in regards to how a woman was treated in the workplace, then the letter writer should be examining her own motives rather than the motives of anyone else.

SHARON PETERSON Rosemount

Lewis is fulfilling promises To the editor: Who among us ever dreamed of anyone in Congress proposing a tax code in which every man and woman can do their own taxes? Yet, with the new IRS tax code proposed by U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis, individual tax forms have been vastly simplified. Best of all, this proposed code gets rid of special interest deductions and 90 percent of all families will be able to file using a postcard. Still better, this newest edition eliminates the lowest tax bracket entirely and doubles the standard deductions for others with low incomes. I am most encouraged that Lewis’ idea of expanding the child tax credit as it is so crucial to those who are raising families. This badly needed tax reform proposal is one of the promises Lewis made during the campaign season. His continuous efforts to keep all of his commitments is most assuring to all of the voters in this 2nd Congressional District. DAN ROSSINI Eagan

Butler & Associates names president

Burnsville business recognized again

ConvergeOne, an Eagan-based global IT services provider of collaboration and technology solutions, has entered into a definitive agreement with Forum Merger Corporation, a special purpose acquisition company. This transaction will enable ConvergeOne to become a Nasdaq-listed public company, with an anticipated initial enterprise value of approximately $1.2 billion. Immediately upon consummation of the transaction, Forum will change its name to ConvergeOne. Clearlake Capital Group L.P., ConvergeOne’s current private equity sponsor, will remain the largest shareholder in the combined company upon completion of the transaction.

Nineteen states don’t require any gun safety training to carry a concealed weapon; 12 states require no permit or background check at all. And in some states, domestic abusers and people convicted of violent misdemeanors are allowed to carry a concealed weapon. If the Concealed Carry Reciprocity

Act is passed, all of these people would have the legal right to carry a loaded, concealed gun in Minnesota. Our own state laws and requirements could be ignored completely by visitors. Please contact your U.S. Representative. Ask that the two bills be voted on separately and tell Congress to reject Concealed Carry Reciprocity. We must protect our own state laws and ourselves.

MEALS, from 1A up, they stepped in, and now they’ve been organizing Community Meals for almost 10 years. The tradition of Community Meals goes back 24 years, before Owen and Knutson were involved, to 1994. At a meeting at Grace Lutheran Church in Apple Valley, a woman voiced her desire to serve a weekly free meal for families who might need a little help. She worked in Dakota County with programs that supported mothers and children. She’d noticed that the last week of the month could be a difficult time for parents to provide meals for their families. That woman was Sue Wehrenberg, and she wanted to start Community Meals as a way to support those families who found themselves stretched thin. As Wehrenberg left the meeting, a man handed her a check and told her it was seed money to fund the program. Wehrenberg served the first meal on Jan. 31, 1994. Wehrenberg was a DEVELOP, from 1A bring in about 3,000 trips daily, which raised concerns about flow in this high-traffic area. There was also concern that customers would drive through the Wings parking lot to avoid the intersection — a place that is already experiencing frequent backups. “We recognize there was a traffic issue. The entire neighborhood contributes to traffic, and Portillo’s would have been another generator,� Nordquist said. “The city recognized we need to make some permanent changes to 147th to make it work for everybody.� The city was working with the applicant to figure out a concept that would allow people to enter and exit the restaurant with the least impact on traffic. “We do have a concept to apply that will make traffic flow better for all the properties,� he said. “There was a way to make the traf-

Meals on the second and fourth Monday of each month. Risen Savior Catholic Church serves a meal on the first Monday of each month. For continuity’s sake, all meals are served at Grace Lutheran. Although Community Meals is an outreach program of Grace Lutheran, it is not funded by the church. Grace Lutheran lets Community Meals use the kitchen and the dining room for free, and they don’t charge for janitorial services. Most of the funding comes from fundraisers, grants, memorials and donations. People who want to volunteer can call Grace Lutheran at 952-432-7273. For people interested in attending: Community Meals take place at Grace Lutheran Church, located at 7800 West County Road 42, Apple Valley, on the first, second, and fourth Monday of each month. The doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the meal is served at 6 p.m. “Everybody can come, no exclusions,� Owen said.

fic work for everybody.� But there were other problems. Parking was also a challenge. Over the summer, the applicant was negotiating with other nearby businesses, searching for places to take their employee parking off-site to offer more spaces for customers. Although there were several iterations of plans for the proposed restaurant, the October 2017 version proposed around 90 parking spaces. When as many as 35 to 45 of those spaces could be used by employees, it left limited parking for customers. “Even Portillo’s realized the site would be a little small,� Nordquist said. Still, things seemed to be moving along. Portillo’s had worked to incorporate Apple Valley into their own designs. They planned to paint “Apple Valley Water Works� on a water tank on the top of the building. They also planned to create an art piece on their dumpster enclosure facing 147th incorporating Apple

in the southern suburbs. Although he is a resident of the Lakeville and Farmington areas, he said he decided to open his first Red’s in Apple Valley because he thinks it’s a great location and he loves the community. “We want to be involved in the community,� he said. “We want to work with families, with schools, with the community.� Biers said he hopes to submit an application for permitting to the city within the next few weeks, and he’d like to start construction by the end of the month. He projects the restaurant will open around Feb. 1, 2018. A new Starbucks, off Cedar Avenue, is also in the works and will open early this year.

Valley’s “Plant. Grow. Prosper.� slogan. Development came to a halt on the evening of Wednesday, Oct. 18, when the applicant withdrew the application. The applicant’s requests were part of the agenda for the Planning Commission meeting that same night, with recommendation for approval. As the application had been withdrawn, the committee took no further action on the recommendations at the meeting. “We were as surprised as anybody,� Nordquist said. “We were prepared to move ahead with the application when they withdrew.� He said he thinks it was a matter of timing. “To do development there are always windows of opportunity, and time is of the essence,� Nordquist said. “And we may have just fallen out of Portillo’s timeline.� Nordquist said that although Portillo’s had many requests, it was the traffic issue that slowed down the

process. “It took us a long time to get to this because it took us so long to evaluate and come up with a solution for traffic,� Nordquist said. “And even that discussion wasn’t completely done because you can identify an issue, and then you have to figure out how to pay for it.� Estimates of fixing the road came in at $1.5 million. Nordquist said that amount isn’t prohibitive, but the city needs time to process a road project of that scope. “We are interested in having them be in Apple Valley. This was their site. They picked this site and indicated they didn’t want to be anywhere else,� Nordquist said. “That sort of closes a door, but in development I’ve learned the door is never closed until they build somewhere else.� The newspaper reached

out to Portillo’s for comment, but at press time had received no response. Nordquist said the Planning Commission has asked other property owners and brokers in Apple Valley to approach Portillo’s with new locations. “We remain hopeful that they will find a spot that works for them,� Nordquist said. There are, however, other businesses coming to Apple Valley in early 2018. A Red’s Savoy Pizza, a delivery and pick-up pizza parlor, will open in South Port Center, located on the Southwest corner of County Road 42 and Cedar Avenue. The restaurant will fill the vacancy in Suite 107 — the old Twins shop. Brian Biers, former vice president of both Smashburger and Buca di Beppo, decided to join a franchise deal with Red’s and plans to open two or three locations

The Minnesota Legislative Society recently promoted former state legislator Richard “Rick� Krueger of Lakeville as chairman, and current state Rep. Roz Peterson of Lakeville vice chairperson. Peterson, a Republican, currently represents Burnsville and Lakeville and is in her second term. She was a Lakeville Area School Board Member for eight years and is also currently a commercial Realtor. Krueger, a Democrat, served six terms as a state legislator from 1983 to 1994, was a speaker of the house and sat on many major committees. He is also the assistant swimming coach for Lakeville North and South high schools. Peterson and Krueger, although they sit on opposite sides of the political spectrum, are working together to inform youths and adults about the legislative process, and how residents can get involved to make a difference as well as remain a resource for those who are interested in becoming involved with politics. “It’s focusing on good governance and education as well,� Peterson said. The society is an organization made up of former and current legislators. In addition to its education efforts, the society supports improvements to the physical facilities of the Minnesota State Capitol Building and promotes a strict nonpartisan way of educating. Krueger and Peterson agree there are misunderstandings about what their jobs actually entail and are focusing on promoting the organization to educate

Richard Roz Krueger Peterson more people on what the legislative process. “What we can do is to help the public better understand what legislators do. There’s a lot of misunderstanding from the general public about what goes into being a legislator,� Krueger said. Peterson points out that there are many more times where legislators are working together rather than against each other. “Sometimes it gets portrayed that we don’t work together. We’re working on promoting civility and taking good ideas. It doesn’t matter who brought the good idea but how can we incorporate all those ideas together so we can do what is best for Minnesota,� she said. According to Krueger, another misconception is legislators are only at work when they’re in session. He points out that if one was to look at Peterson’s daily schedule, they would see the exact opposite is true. He adds that legislators are continuously working and learning about every issue and attending multiple community and committee meetings. “If you’re a representative in an area, you get invited in. You meet with people and learn about (the issues) even though you might not be the content expert. Legislators are probably going to have a limited number of things they are involved in but they’re expected to

know about everything,� he said. Krueger also said that many people are not aware what types of issues state legislators are involved in, adding that many people cannot distinguish between a local, state and federal issue. Over her two terms, Peterson has been asked about Social Security from many people. Her job is to know about the issue but explain that she is not in Congress and only works on state issues. Krueger heard a story about someone who was not happy with their neighbor’s dog going to the bathroom on their yard. They brought the issue to their governor and was told that it is a local issue. The individual then stated: “If you won’t let me talk to the governor, I’ll go to the president.’ � The confusion between who is responsible for what issue is what the society is hoping to fix by continuing to promote education as well as clear up other misunderstandings, and to showcase the work legislators are doing and the process it takes to accomplish their goals. Peterson and Krueger say the job is much more difficult than people believe it to be. Krueger explains that every decision is either red or green. There is no yellow option. “Can you imagine going through your whole day and everything being green or red on every major decision?� Krueger asks. Peterson adds that is a reason why their focus is having an open dialogue and having the ability to talk the issues out. In states where there is one-party control, there is plenty of discussion and difference

of opinion even though most are from the same party. “Just because we are from the same party it does not necessarily mean we agree on the approach to get there,â€? she said. Those differences between same-party legislators and opposite-party legislators are what Peterson and Krueger believe people focus the most on. They agree there are extremists and that is who gets filtered out and pushed into the public’s eye. “You get the impression ‌ it’s all about contention or battling it out with each other. There is some of that, that goes on but that is not most of what goes on around the Legislature,â€? Krueger said. He adds that there are “bad applesâ€? on both sides. Peterson will have a chance to present her issues in a way that the more extreme members and non-extreme members can all understand during the next session beginning Feb. 20. Peterson is actively involved with promoting education innovation to change the approach districts take to educating students. The school system is based on an centralized top-down approach, which is also based on an industrialized model of factories, she explains. “We’re trying to promote a bottom up structure, which is based on a personalized individual learning opportunity. ‌ Impact Academy (in the Lakeville Area School District) is one of those models,â€? she said. Peterson is also involved with the issue of keeping drinking water clean by See SOCIETY, 9A

It could have been him this time, said a former funeral home director who was rescued from a sinking car by three bystanders. They were honored at Tuesday’s Burnsville City Council meeting for rescuing Greg Anderson, who was involved in an Oct. 4 accident that left his car in the holding pond in front of Fairview Ridges Hospital. Anderson, who said he ran the Burnsville Funeral Home on Nicollet Avenue

for 20 years before it became White Funeral Home, was pulled from the car by Jacob Timmerman, Scott Mogen and Jamie Lemcke. They were awarded the Fire Department’s Life Saving Award Tuesday. “What can you say other than ‘Thank you’? � Anderson said, fighting tears. Awaiting a kidney transplant, Anderson said he was seeing the doctor Oct. 4 after having his kidneys removed because of cancer. A 911 call went out at

1:30 p.m. after Anderson’s car went into the pond. Fire Chief B.J. Jungmann said the car was submerged when he and Assistant Fire Chief Doug Nelson arrived a few minutes later. “These three citizens had the victim on shore as Assistant Chief Nelson and I came up to the scene,� Jungmann said. “Without the bystanders’ work here, we know the outcome definitely would have been different. Their actions directly contributed to saving this

gentleman’s life.� Anderson said he has helped out at accident scenes and was called to many as a funeral home director. “Three people came forward and helped, and there was at least 15 that I remember seeing standing around that thought it was more important to take pictures,� Anderson said.

Sports Eagles understand they can’t let up Defending Class 4A champs ranked No. 1 again this season by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Anybody who thought Apple Valley might come into the boys basketball season complacent, full of itself, or a little bored with the whole thing ... well, it took only a couple minutes of the first game before the Eagles blew that theory out of the water. The defending Class 4A champion and No. 1-ranked Eagles rode 58 percent shooting to an 86-53 victory over Robbinsdale Armstrong in their season opener Tuesday night. Coach Zach Goring said the players looked sharp in their first game, and they’ll need to stay sharp later this week when they play two reigning Minnesota high school champions in three days. Apple Valley plays host to 2017 Class 2A champion Minnehaha Academy at 7 p.m. Thursday in a game scheduled to be broadcast on ESPNU. Saturday, they play Class 1A champion Minneapolis North at 9 p.m. in the Breakdown Tip-Off Classic at Hopkins High School. “It helps when you have a really good group, but we want to play good teams early to see where we’re at and what we can work on,” Goring said. The Apple ValleyMinnehaha Academy game matches two players who have been heavily recruited nationally – hence the interest from ESPN to put the game on TV. Eagles guard Tre Jones, who signed with Duke last month, averaged 23.5 points in leading Apple Valley to the 2017 Class 4A championship. He had

The returning starters – Jones, Martens and Spencer Rolland – also are captains this season. seven triple-doubles last season. Jalen Suggs of Minnehaha Academy is expected to be one of the top recruits in the Class of 2020 and is one of three talented sophomore guards for the Redhawks. “That’s going to be a great game,” Goring said. “We’ll try to push the tempo and I’m guessing they’re going to want to play fast, too. “(Minneapolis) North has always played fast and gotten up and down the floor. They’re very competitive and are playing a lot of 4A schools. Those two games will be really good tests for us.” Spencer Rolland, one of three returning starters and senior captains, said it’s good for the Eagles to be tested early.

“We’re going to get everybody’s best every single game. They want to be able to say they beat the state champions,” Rolland said. “I think we have a team that is able to take that pressure. Later on this season, that’s going to help us.” Rolland, the Eagles’ center, averaged about five points and three rebounds last season. He also was a two-way lineman on the Apple Valley football team that reached the Class 5A semifinals and will pursue football at Harvard University. The third returning starter, guard Luke Martens, averaged 11 points and five rebounds in 201718. He has signed with Winona State University to play basketball.

Forward Nathan Macho (8.3 points per game) and guard Ely Hendrickson (6.2 points) move into the starting lineup after being first off the bench last season. Goring didn’t sound concerned about finding depth, saying Tuesday night he could put as many as 11 players into a game. Zach Korba came off the bench Tuesday, made four three-pointers in the second half, and finished with 14 points. Jones had 20 points, eight rebounds and six assists against Armstrong and might have racked up another triple-double if he had been on the floor longer. But the score got one-sided quickly and he played only about 23 minutes. Martens added 13 points and six rebounds in

Apple Valley was the best team in South Suburban Conference boys basketball last year – not to mention the state’s Class 4A enrollment division – and this year comes into the season with the most stability. So, who’s lining up to take a shot at Apple Valley’s title? Here are capsule previews of the other teams from the School District 196 area:

Eastview Coach: Paul Goetz. Last season: 13-15 overall, 9-9 conference; reached Class 4A, Section 3 semifinals. 2017-18 so far: 1-1; defeated Stillwater 74-67, lost to Chaska 68-57. Next game: at Eden Prairie, 7 p.m. Thursday. Outlook: Five players scored at least nine points in the season opener against Stillwater, something that could serve the Lightning well if it continues. Tate Machacek,

a 6-foot-6 sophomore, is the leading returning scorer after averaging 8.6 points as a freshman. Max Bolger scored 13 points in the season opener, Machacek added 12, and Ryan Thissen and Steven Crowl had 11 each. Ben Neubert, a senior, scored nine points. Sophomore Dan Swedin is expected to contribute at forward and Izaak Raspberry is likely to get minutes at point guard.

Eagan Coach: Josh Peltier. Last season: 8-19 overall, 5-13 conference; lost in first round of Class 4A, Section 3 playoffs. 2017-18 so far: 0-2; lost to Henry Sibley 91-84, lost to North St. Paul 80-73. Next game: at Chaska, 7 p.m. Friday. Outlook: The Wildcats, seeking their first winning season in five years, have turned over their program to Peltier, the top assistant on a Wayzata team that finished third in the 2017 state Class 4A tournament. The top returning

about 15 minutes of playing time. Apple Valley led Armstrong 47-22 at halftime and was up by as many as 44 points in the second half. The Falcons were missing one starter because of injury and another was slowed by a sore ankle. “They’re not superdeep to begin with and they weren’t coming here at full strength,” Goring said. “We have a lot of guys back from last season and a lot of guys who have been through the games and have experience. We were pretty sharp for the first night.” Email Mike Shaughnessy at Apple Valley went mike.shaughnessy@ecm30-2 last season, losing to inc.com.

of those losses in the state tournament. The Eagles beat Champlin Park 60-54 in the Class 4A final for their third championship in five years. As scary a proposition as it might be to Eagles’ opponents, there are a couple of areas where Apple Valley might be better this season. With Jones, Hendrickson, Korba, Mark Possis and Josh Arnold, among others, the Eagles might have more three-point shooters than ever. But, “we want to make sure we’re not living and dying by the threes,” Goring said. “We have to be going toward the rim and using our posts. If the threes are there, take them, but we’re not going to win or lose a game on them.” Goring also said this year’s team might be the best he’s had at pressuring teams full-court. The Eagles are deep at guard and their bigger players – including Rolland, who’s 6-foot-7 – are mobile. “We feel like that can wear on teams that don’t have as much depth as we do,” Rolland said. “We can press frequently and wear them down. In the second half they’ll be tired and we’ll be ready to go.” Goring said the Eagles’ captains have been good about not allowing the team to let up in practices or games. “It’s been a really fun group to coach. They know what it takes to get there, to get to the end,” the coach said. Said Rolland: “We expect nothing but the best from our guys. If we slip up or shy away from that, we get back on track. And Goring keeps us in line, too.”

player might be sophomore guard Jaylen James, who led the Wildcats in scoring with a 7.9-point average last year. James scored 27 in the Wildcats’ season-opening loss to Henry Sibley on Saturday.

Rosemount Coach: Lance Walsten. Last season: 15-14 overall, 7-11 conference; reached Class 4A, Section 3 final. 2017-18 so far: 0-1; lost to Roseville 62-49. Next game: at BenildeSt. Margaret’s 7 p.m. Saturday. Outlook: Walsten is in his first season at Rosemount after three years at head coach at Faribault. Senior guard Luke Siwek is the only returning Irish player who averaged more than two points a game last season. Siwek averaged 11.3 and twice had 21-point games. Andrew Reuter, Chartagan Bowser and Keaton Miller are among players who saw some limited varsity time in 2016-17.

Beattie’s play is one of the main reasons for the Lightning’s 4-1 start, which includes a 5-1 victory over traditional state power Hill-Murray on Saturday. Beattie made 41 saves in that game and 24 more in Eastview’s 5-1 victory over Rosemount on Tuesday night. The Lightning plays host to Lakeville North at 2 p.m. Saturday.

Apple Valley resident to retire from St. Thomas Academy St. Thomas Academy Commandant of Cadets Lt. Col. Michael DePuglio, U.S. Army (retired), will retire following the 2017-18 school year. An Apple Valley resident and former Rosemount resident, DePuglio has served as commandant since 2002 and is the longest-serving commandant of cadets. He also has been on the football coaching staff at STA. Among the most significant ac- Michael complishments under DePuglio’s DePuglio leadership was the academy’s return to its roots as an independent military academy after 99 years as an Army JROTC academy. This move, effective in 2015-16, allowed the academy to retain and improve upon many aspects of the military/leadership program while enhancing it to better align with the student population, college preparatory focus and leadership training. “I am extremely proud of the military program, the STA Corps of Cadets and our military traditions at St. Thomas Academy,� DePuglio said. “I will always cherish my interaction with the boys in the hallways, in class, at events and on the football field. Each day, I am inspired by their energy and their commitment to succeed.� DePuglio brought to the academy a distinguished military and educational career. He entered Officers Training School in 1982 and was later assigned to the 81st Artillery Brigade (Pershing) in Neu Ulm, Germany, in March 1983. A year later, he was assigned to the headquarters for the 56th Field Artillery Brigade (Pershing) in Schwaebisch Gmund, Germany, until he went to flight school at Ft. Rucker, Alabama, in June 1985. Following flight school, he served in the 1st Aviation Regiment of the 1st Infantry Division in Ft. Riley, Kansas; the 17th Aviation Brigade in Seoul, Korea; and the 58th Aviation Regiment in Wiesbaden, Germany/Tazar, Hungary. His advanced officers’ training included the Armor Officers Advanced Course, and courses within the Command and General Staff College. His final overseas assignment was at the U.S. Army European headquarters in Heidelberg, Germany/Sarajevo, Bosnia, from July 1995 through June 1999. He was a professor of military science at the University of Northern Iowa from 1999 to 2002. DePuglio holds a master’s of education degree in secondary administration from the University of North Dakota, and a bachelor’s degree from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. St. Thomas Academy is currently conducting a nationwide search for DePuglio’s successor.

STA senior promoted St. Thomas Academy senior Cameron Cashin of Apple Valley has been promoted to cadet lieutenant colonel from cadet captain. He currently serves as blue battalion commander.

TEACHER, from 1A “It’s good to be surrounded by intelligent, innovative workers — and it’s those people who have inspired me.� Since beginning his teaching career, Zschunke said experience and colleagues have been the best teachers. “You don’t have to know all the answers, but it’s really good to know who has them,� he said. “And I’ve had great resources. Our schools and our districts are so supportive of the arts and music that it makes it really easy to do what we do.� Zschunke learned his love of music, and band instruments in particular, from his father, who was a band teacher. He used to help his father file sheet music, and after that he’d experiment with the many instruments in the band room. Against his father’s advice, Zschunke decided to follow in his footsteps — and he’s never looked back. At Rosemount Middle School, Zschunke conducts three concert bands, teaches instrumental lessons and conducts several jazz bands. “I really like this age level. It’s so fun. They are so excited to learn, and they are so moldable and energetic,� Zschunke said. MUSICAL, from 1A for strong speakers, dancers and back-up singers, in addition to the leads. Campbell works with each of the 46 students in the cast to develop a strong character, espe-

“I wouldn’t want to be any other place than middle school.� Zschunke started teaching in middle school because he was passionate about developing the Rosemount High School Band’s feeder program. He wanted to help students learn and grow in their early years of playing, and through that he’s formed tight-knit groups of students who share his passion for music. “We laugh together, we get frustrated together, we enjoy the music that we play together,� he said. “It’s like having another family of kids to grow up with.� On Thanksgiving, the Rosemount High School marching band participated in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Zschunke had worked with many of those students when they were in middle school, and his teaching equipped them with technical skills and determination that carried over into high school. “I was very proud — I was very proud of those kids, and the staff and the parents,� Zschunke said. “I was watching them on TV, and I just got that proud director lump in my throat because I just thought of how cool it was for those kids.� Zschunke talked to his

current students about the parade the following week. Seeing the older students performing for the nation to see inspired many of the middle schoolers. “I asked them how many saw the Macy’s parade with the Rosemount band, and all of the hands went up,� he said. “And I said, ‘Well, someday, that will be you, because that’s what I said three years ago and those people are in the band right now.’ � Zschunke also conducts the Rosemount Community Band, a group he created to serve local musicians. On his own time, he’s an accomplished musician, and when he’s not conducting he enjoys playing trombone professionally. “It’s all about a lifelong love of playing music and sharing it with other people,� he said. This year, 18 students auditioned for All-State Concert Band, and two students made All-State Jazz Band. Yet to come, a group of seventh-graders will play at the Minnesota Zoo, a group of eighth-graders will play holiday songs at the Mall of America, sixth- through eighthgraders will participate in jazz bands, small ensemble groups will play for nursing homes, some 200-300 students will compete in

The biggest challenge of the production has been taking something that was originally a movie and putting it on a stage. Lights, set, sound — it’s a challenging couple of hours for everyone involved in the production, on and off stage. “The backstage has just as much choreography as on stage,� Campbell said. They store large pieces of scenery off on the wings, with 40 people ready to move to the next scene. Campbell said the show runs smoothly because there is a huge support team helping with set changes and quick costume changes. He said the tech crew has been incredible as well. They ran through the play on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday this week in preparation for the Wednesday Senior Preview. Several of the students mentioned how physically demanding the seemingly constant dancing in the

show can be. “We are singing and dancing throughout the entire show. It can be kind of exhausting,� said senior Jack Bechard, who plays Bob Wallace. Campbell said keeping up with the show is part of being a good actor, and he is confident in his students’ abilities. “I always say theater is a sport. You have to be very physically fit to come out and sing and dance,� he said. “This is my second year with them, and I knew we had strong dancers.� The students have stretched themselves in other ways as well. Although senior Mila New and senior Emma Sell have been in several productions at Eagan High School, they are getting a new experience this year as they take on new characters. As Marth Wickes, this is New’s first time playing the comic relief, and as Betty Haynes, this is Sell’s first time playing a more serious role. Campbell said that he doesn’t pre-cast his shows before auditions, and it can be hard work to fig-

ure out casting with so many talented actors and actresses. The depth of the program allows him to select challenging shows, like “White Christmas,� with confidence. “We have a lot of talent at Eagan, so that affords us to pick whatever show we want and know people will rise to the occasion.� Junior Mara Currens, playing Betty Haynes, said she’s learning a lot this year, and she’s been inspired by Campbell’s preparation and directing style. “His work ethic has personally motivated me to step up and put a lot of work into it,� Currens said. Audiences will be dazzled by the impressive set pieces and projections, choreographed song-anddance pieces and big production numbers. They’ll also enjoy hearing Eagan students performing in the band. “People will recognize the classic scenes, but we also keep it fun and uplifting in our own way,� Bechard said.

Thisweekend African penguin chick hatches at the zoo Quilt exhibit opens An African penguin chick hatched on Nov. 21 at the Minnesota Zoo, as it is currently being cared for behind the scenes by its parents, “Burner” and “Snickers.” The newly hatched chick weighed in at 50.5 grams during its initial check-up and is doing well, the zoo reports. “We are pleased to announce another successful breeding season with our African penguins,” says Jamie Toste, the zoo’s curator of birds. “While the population of African penguins in North American zoos and aquariums is doing well, their wild counterparts in South Africa are facing the threat of extinction. Hatching chicks here at the Minnesota Zoo gives us the opportunity to share their story.” The sex of the new chick is still undetermined and it will likely remain behind the scenes for a while, as it receives constant care from its parents and zookeepers. Breeding season for African penguins typically occurs from October to March at the Minnesota Zoo, when the nest boxes are opened up for the flock in their habitat. Most penguin pairs successfully lay one to two eggs during this time. The zoo has successfully hatched 21 African penguin chicks since opening the 3M Penguins of the African Coast habitat in 2011. Along with successfully hatching new African penguin chicks on-site, the zoo also consistently supports critical fieldwork occurring in South Africa to save endangered African
