A coach at CrossFit 5885 in Apple Valley is receiving a helping hand from another local CrossFit gym as he recovers from a kidney transplant. CrossFit Templar, located at 14608 Felton Court in Apple Valley, is hosting a benefit workout on Sunday, Feb. 21, to help offset Jonathan Jenson’s medical expenses. Jenson — known to CrossFit participants by his coaching Jonathan name “jonnyj” “jonnyj” Jenson — had one and a half kidneys removed as a toddler due to a congenital defect. He received a kidney transplant last fall. “What is amazing is all Jonny accomplished in the nearly 40 years that passed, prior to the transplant,” said Gretchen Stramel, head trainer at CrossFit Templar, in a letter to other CrossFit gyms promoting the benefit. “Jonny is a five-time Iron Man finisher, a former triathlete, cyclist, ultra runner, elite mountain biker, motocrosser, wrestler, soccer and rugby player and the founder and owner of CrossFit 5885.” The need for a kidney transplant wasn’t a matter of if, but when. “Most people didn’t even know he was sick or needed the transplant,” said Jill Selchow, a coach at CrossFit Templar and organizer of the Feb. 21

Funds for facilities maintenance at Minnesota universities, rail safety improvements and renovations at the troubled state security hospital are among the items on a $1.4 billion bonding wish list Gov. Mark Dayton announced last month. Whittled from nearly $4 billion in requests, the governor’s capital investment proposal would reach from Grand Marais to Luverne to aid projects large and small, and, Dayton said during a morning news conference, create an estimated 39,000 Minnesota jobs. “This is a tremendous opportunity to make the kind of significant investment in the future of Minnesota — in the infrastructure, in our higher education buildings and the like — that we need and are seriously behind in accomplishing,” he said. Dayton’s full bonding proposal, the largest during his tenure, comes one day after he unveiled a $220 million initiative to upgrade the state’s deteriorating water infrastructure as part of his larger borrowing plan. The governor added atop his list higher education and public safety projects he called critical to the state’s future. Included among the 113 projects that Dayton proposes to fund through the sale of state-backed

Gov. Mark Dayton lays out his $1.4 billion bonding proposal at a Jan. 15 news conference. (Session Daily photo by Andrew VonBank) bonds are: • $135 million for asset preservation and replacement at Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system and University of Minnesota campuses; • $26 million for a statewide program aimed at helping local governments complete infrastructure projects that support high-growth and innovative industries. • Minnesota Zoo - Heart of the Zoo 2, $17,780 • Minnesota Zoo Asset Preservation, $4,000 • MnSCU HEAPR Dakota County Technical College, $1,900 • Met Council Regional Parks - Dakota County, $1,022 The 2016 session is the second year of the legislative biennium, typically regarded as a bonding year when lawmakers pass a large capital investment borrowing package. Dayton’s sweeping proposal, however, could be a tough sell. Some legislators have

expressed unease with bonding proposals that surpass $1 billion, and others have suggested recently the state should use some of its projected $1.9 billion budget surplus to fund capital projects in place of additional borrowing. Notably absent from Dayton’s plan is any proposed funding for transit projects like the stalled Southwest Corridor Light Rail project, or for road and bridge repairs beyond the state’s two largest cities. He said the priority should be on funding those types of projects through a comprehensive transportation bill, the likes of which lawmakers have been unable to pass in recent legislative sessions. “We are extremely disappointed that Gov. Dayton failed to set aside even $1 for road and bridge infrastructure in Greater Minnesota or the suburbs,” House MaSee BILL, 12A

Remaining positive after paralysis Former Lakeville South football, lacrosse player strives forward by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Character traits built during Dillon Borowicz’s high school sports career are helping the Lakeville man through the toughest challenge he has ever faced. It was 2012, the summer before Borowicz’s senior year at Lakeville South High School, when his dive into the family’s above-ground swimming

pool forever changed his life. The former lacrosse player and Lakeville South linebacker did not surface, and was pulled to the pool deck by his younger brother, Matthew Borowicz. Doctors determined he had broken his neck and was paralyzed from the neck down. “It was the swimming pool we’ve had ever since See DILLON, 12A

Wife’s donation is gift of hope After five years, Lakeville man eager to end dialysis by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Pat Randall has missed out on a lot of life over the last five years while tethered to a dialysis machine. Next month those binders are scheduled to be released, thanks to his wife, Tracie Randall, who is donating one of her kidneys to Pat. The operation will free him from spending three days a week at dialysis, a process where blood is pumped out of the body, waste products are filtered out, and then returned to the body – mimicking kidney function. Their youngest son, Brock, 8, was a preschooler when it all started, and he doesn’t remember the same dad big brother Chase, 12, knew before Pat’s unusual diagnosis, which doctors say came decades too early for the 47-year-old Lakeville man. Pat’s diagnoses were a double hit: multiple myeloma, cancer of the blood in the bone, and light chain deposition disease, a rare blood disease characterized by

infection-fighting immunoglobulins (called light chains) that attack organs, which in Pat’s case attacked his kidneys. Doctors in Burnsville referred him to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, where Pat said he endured extensive chemotherapy and its effects in 2010 in preparation for a stem cell transplant, which he underwent Feb. 15, 2011. “After someone goes through a stem cell transplant, it’s like they’re reborn,� Tracie said. “He had to go through all his immunizations again, (including) all his baby shots, two-year shots – all those immunizations.� By the time Pat started dialysis in May 2011, his legs had swelled so significantly, he had trouble walking and he suffered severe reactions to drugs meant to boost his immune system. Three years ago, Pat was also diagnosed with thyroid cancer and he underwent surgery to remove the large gland and 23 of his lymph nodes where the cancer had spread. “The doctors said usually they don’t see this

stuff in men until their late 60s,� Tracie said. Since the successful surgery, Pat has endured gruelling three-and-a-half hour dialysis treatments three days per week. The treatments take a toll on the whole family. A former business owner, Pat has been physically unable to work for several years, and Tracie, a teacher, also coaches and spends weekends at a recreation center to keep the family financially afloat. Dialysis treatments leave Pat exhausted, and he lacks energy to play with the boys or participate in family activities. “He’ll come home after dialysis and sleep for a good two to three hours,� Tracie said. “He can’t eat, so we’ll have family dinners and he’s sitting in here laying down because he doesn’t have an appetite. So, it’s three days out of the week, he’s unaccounted for. He’s tired, and I think that frustrates him.� Tracie said they have both battled feelings of frustration, anger, sadness, fear, stress and worry about Pat’s health;

Tracie and Pat Randall with their sons Brock, 8, and Chase, 12. (Photo by Laura Adelmann)

some nights, she checks to make sure he’s still breathing. When she has faced particular challenges, Tracie said Pat has been there to provide strength and encouragement. “Pat’s never given me a reason to doubt him, and I knew like he would literally get through this,� Tracie said. After three years cancer-free, Tracie last fall encouraged Pat to again look into getting on the transplant list. “At first they told

me I’d never be healthy enough for a transplant,� Pat said, but after testing, he was cleared and added to the transplant list. Weeks later, Pat expressed concerns to Tracie about not knowing his donor. “He just looked at me and said ‘I guess if I had my choice, I’d prefer you or my brother.’ � Tracie said. That was all the encouragement she needed, and in January underwent 18 tests over three days at Mayo Clinic.

After later physical testing, Tracie was determined to be a great blood match, and the transplant operation is scheduled for March 7. Tracie said she was excited she was a good match and is eagerly anticipating surgery. “I want Pat to know I’m doing everything I can to support him,� Tracie said. “And I want our kids to see this is what family does.� Laura Adelmann is at laura. adelmann@ecm-inc.com.

Dance, sing and explore Haitian culture Program Feb. 27 at Farmington Library part of Black History Month by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Haiti may be a distant land to many Farmington residents, but they’ll have the opportunity to experience the island’s vibrant culture as part of a Black History Month program later this month at the Farmington Library. The Afoutayi Dance Company will present the Haitian culture through song, dance and stories during an interactive Lakansyèl Haitian performance from 10:30-11:15 a.m. Feb. 27. “Come with an open mind and your heart open, and get out of your comfort zone have some educational fun,â€? said Djenane Saint Juste, Haitian choreographer, professional dancer and founder of Afoutayi. Children will have the opportunity to play tradi-

tional Haitian drums, sing songs in the Creole language, and learn a dance routine. “Everything will bring the kids to be ready at the end to dance with us in a big parade like the carnival parades we have in Haiti,� Saint Juste said. Saint Juste was born in Haiti, but since moving to the United States, she’s been bridging the two cultures together. Afoutayi is a call to get everyone to do things together, Saint Juste said. “The idea of the company is to bring honor to the Haitian culture, which unfortunately is not well represented,� Saint Juste said. “We use art to give a representation of what it’s like in Haiti and to keep the culture alive.� Saint Juste said there are many misconceptions about Haitian culture. “When you create an

opportunity for each other to learn about other cultures, people will grow up to be more tolerant and open minded,� Saint Juste said. When Africans were taken to Haiti as slaves, they carried their songs, dances and traditions with them. One of the biggest differences in culture she finds lies on the dance floor. “Dancing is our way of communication,� Saint Juste said. “When the Haitian island was first occupied, the Africans all spoke different languages, so they used dance to communicate. When I ask you to dance, I’m asking who you are. It’s a way to introduce myself.� She said although there probably aren’t many Haitian people in Farmington, it will be a good opportunity to make connections

and perhaps revisit their birthplace. She said after the a devastating earthquake in Haiti in 2010, many Haitian children were adopted and live in the United States. “A lot of them were disconnected with their culture and identity,� Saint Juste said. “This gives them the opportunity to reconnect. It’s hard to bring those kids back to Haiti every year.� Florencia (Fofo) Pierre will lead the singing during the program. Hassen Ortega will be leading the storytelling portion, and Taji Maalik will lead the drum session. Afoutayi got its start in California, but since Saint Juste moved to Minnesota a year ago, she’s been bringing her message throughout the Midwest. They’ve recently performed at St. Olaf College

Donate baby carriers, clothing for refugees through Carry the Future Twin Cities residents can now donate baby carriers and winter clothing for refugees in Greece through Carry The Future. California-based Carry The Future collects donated softstructured carriers like Baby Bjorn, Snugli, Infantino, Ergo,

and Tula and personally distributes them to refugees arriving in Greece from war-torn countries like Syria and Iraq. More than a million refugees from these areas have entered Europe, often making much of their journey on foot. Baby carriers can help keep infants and

toddlers physically and emotionally safe, and free up parents’ and siblings’ arms to carry possessions or help other family members. The group also welcomes donations that can fit inside the pockets of baby carriers: toddler- and baby-sized winter

hats, mittens, and socks; small plush toys and protein bars. Donations in the Twin Cities are packaged by volunteers, then routed through Madison, Wisconsin, and Chicago before more volunteers take them abroad. To donate a carrier or other

Opinion Your caucus straw poll vote could change U.S. history The 2016 presidential race is barely under way, and it already appears to be different than most Americans have experienced in their lifetimes. Voters are showing a willingness to rock the status quo like never before. In only one week, Minnesotans will get their chance to join in the process. Precinct caucuses will be held at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, March 1, throughout the state. Over the years, only a small percentage of Minnesotans have chosen to participate in the process. The caucuses are used to conduct party business, such as electing delegates to the county and legislative district conventions and passing resolutions. However, the caucuses have evolved over time, and now both the Democrats and Republicans hold presidential preference straw polls. The result of that straw poll will determine how many Minnesota delegates to the national presidential nominating conventions this summer will support each candidate. It’s important to understand that it’s your choice whether you want to participate in party activities. If you don’t, you can simply show up at the caucus, cast your vote in the straw poll and leave. In a way, the straw polls have become a primary wrapped around a caucus. The two parties operate somewhat differently, so what follows is a brief synopsis of how the national delegates will be selected:

ECM Editorial

tional Democratic convention. Of those 93, 16 so-called “Superdelegates” will attend unpledged to any candidate. These include the state’s members of the Democratic National Committee, all DFL members of the U.S. Congress, Gov. Mark Dayton and a “Distinguished Party Leader,” meaning former vice president and presidential candidate Walter Mondale. Of the remaining 77 delegates, 50 will be chosen by the straw poll results in each congressional district. Each district is allocated delegates based on the number of Democratic votes in the last presidential and gubernatorial elections combined. The 1st District will have five delegates, the 2nd District six, the 3rd District seven, the 4th District seven, the 5th District nine, the Sixth District five, the Seventh District five and the 8th District six. Among those districts with an odd number of delegates, the 1st, 3rd and 4th districts will choose one more man than woman and the 5th, 6th and 7th districts will each have one more woman than man. To receive any delegates, either at the congressional district level or statewide, a candidate must garner at least 15 percent of the vote. Those DFLers who vote in the straw poll will not only have a chance to vote for Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton, Democrats they also can write-in their own candiMinnesota has 93 delegates to the na- date or cast a vote for “Uncommitted.”

For “Uncommitted” to receive any delegates, however, at least 15 percent of the vote would have to be cast for “Uncommitted.” Of the remaining 27 delegates, 10 will be chosen from among prominent party leaders such as the other statewide office holders like the attorney general, secretary of state and state auditor, DFL legislative leaders, big city mayors, etc. However, they would have to announce their support for a candidate beforehand. The final 17 delegates will be selected at the state convention, based on the statewide straw poll. The delegates are bound to their delegate until such time as their candidate drops out.

Republicans Four years ago, Rick Santorum won the Republican straw poll on caucus night, but Ron Paul ended up with most of the national delegates. That’s because the caucus was held earlier than this year, outside of the national party’s rules that made the straw poll binding. This year is different because the caucus is within the time frame set by the national party. The Republican National Convention has fewer delegates than the Democratic National Convention, so the Minnesota GOP will have only 38 delegates. Each congressional district convention will elect three delegates, based on the straw poll results in that district. Of the other 14, 11 will be chosen at the state convention based on the statewide straw

poll result. The state party chair, state national committeeman and national committeewoman will be delegates automatically. One of the big differences in how the two parties select delegates is that the Republican threshhold to get any delegates is only 10 percent. In New Hampshire, five different GOP candidates achieved that level. As with the DFL, the delegates are allocated proportionally based on the straw poll. With only three seats per congressional district, even 10 percent may not be enough to win a delegate in such a splintered field. Another difference is that the Republican delegates are bound to a candidate only for the first ballot. After that, they are free to switch. If a delegate’s candidate drops out of the race before the convention, the delegate can support anyone. If the candidate then decides to get back in the race, the delegate is bound on the first ballot afterward. If you want to be a national delegate or even just be more involved in one party or the other, the precinct caucus is the best place to start. But even if you don’t want to participate beyond voting, the precinct caucus straw poll is the one place where all Minnesotans can have a say in who the candidates for president will be. We urge you to participate. This is an opinion of the ECM Editorial Board. Sun Thisweek and the Dakota County Tribune area part of ECM Publishers Inc.

Districts can help students be safer at school by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

David Esquith shares one of the deepest concerns parents have: “I worry about a call from the school that my kid got hurt.” It’s important that Esquith understands, because he directs the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Safe and Healthy Students. On Jan. 22, he spoke at a meeting that drew hundreds of suburban, rural and urban Minnesota educators. He agreed with TV stories and newspaper headlines: School safety needs more attention in every community. I found some of his statistics stunning. Esquith explained that his top current concerns are “middle schools, teachers being victimized, gangs, drugs and alcohol.” He cited national statistics showing that in 2012-13, 25 percent of middle school students reported being bullied. He’s deeply concerned that 50 percent of these incidents were not reported to an adult. A key question for him is why these acts of bullying aren’t being reporting to adults. He also explained that unchecked, bullying can help lead to suicide. Sadly, suicide is the second leading cause of death among people ages 10-24. Secondly, Esquith noted that in 201112, 10 percent of public school teachers

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Joe Nathan reported being threatened by a student and 6 percent of public school teachers reported being physically attacked by a student in their school in past 12 months. He insisted, and I agree completely, “No teacher should go to school and be threatened.” Finally, Esquith noted that 70 percent of discipline problems in schools come from 4-5 percent of the students. He explained that the easy answer with these students is “keep them out of school.” He added, “But it’s not a solution – we’ve made this someone else’s problem.” Some teachers and schools working successfully with challenging students should be invited to speak at a future conference. Places like Ivan Sand Community High School in Elk River or charter Face to Face Academy in St. Paul can be great resources for others. Many educators not only sat but also literally stood in the aisles to hear suggestions from Walter Roberts, a widely respected professor at Minnesota State

University, Mankato. Roberts stressed the importance of each school developing a plan that is “preventive rather than reactionary.” He suggested that parents ask: “Do students have access to school counselors, social workers, school psychologists, mental health specialists? Are there enough within the school or available through community partnerships so each student has someone (with whom) she/he can discuss personal and social issues?” Roberts also stressed the importance of surveying students and families to determine if kids feel safe, if students want to go to school and if parents feel welcome. (I’ll write a separate column about a student survey that Minnesota schools are offering later this year.) Participants also heard from Minnesota Commissioner of Education Brenda Cassellius. She believes: “Recent events in our nation and world have contributed to an environment that may expose children to disturbing or hateful messages online, in the news, or in their everyday experiences, even at school. ... We must be extra vigilant and work together to make sure all of our students feel safe and supported in our schools.” Minnesota’s Legislature created a School Safety Technical Assistance Center, housed at MDE. Cassellius says the center helps schools and communities

“by providing guidance and best practices for creating safe and supportive schools.” The center’s website has many suggestions for schools and families. It’s found here: http://bit.ly/1Q8vil3. PACER Center, a statewide family and student assistance group that co-sponsored the conference, also has training programs and a website with information for families and students. That’s here: http://www.pacer.org/bullying. Esquith noted that despite widely reported school shooting incidents, “students are safer in school than they’ve ever been.” But he stressed that with, for example, 25 percent of middle school students reporting being bullied and 10 percent of teachers reporting being threatened, there is “still lots of work to do.” I agree. Wise families won’t wait. They’ll ask what local surveys show about how safe students feel in their schools – and what plans the school has to make it an even safer place.

Letters Myhra is the best choice To the editor: I look forward to the March 1 precinct caucuses where we will begin the selection process for our new congressional representative from the 2nd District. I am supporting Pam Myhra because during her two terms in the Minnesota House of Representatives she proved to be an accountable, trustworthy leader. She consistently earned high marks for support of taxpayers, limited government, and Constitutional rights. Her extensive record of vol-

unteer work on behalf of conservative causes is further evidence of her dedication and commitment. Pam Myhra is the best choice for the Republican Party’s endorsement in the 2nd Congressional District.

A greenway by any other name is still a greenway To the editor: On Tuesday night I attended an open house in Rosemount regarding the Central Greenway Connectivity Study. This study, authorized by the Dakota County Board, is intended to evaluate bicycle trail connections around, instead of through, Lebanon Hills Regional Park.

I am glad the open house was offered and found the county employees there helpful. I am glad to see continued emphasis on enhancing bike systems throughout the county. However, I am very concerned that the paid consultants are not following the commissioners’ specific direction. In March 2015 the County Board approved that the greenway, a transportation network for commuting bicyclists, would lead to and around,

but not through the park. What I saw Tuesday showed that there has been no work done on re-routing the greenway system around Lebanon Hills. What staff presented was an enhanced system of existing bike routes around Lebanon Hills park. They showed plans for increasing signage for routes for high-speed cyclists in the near term and for off-road bike trails along McAndrews, Cliff See LETTERS, 12A

Wills to run for re-election in House District 57B State Rep. Anna Wills, RRosemount, announced on Monday her intention to seek re-election for a third term in the Minnesota House. Wills has served District 57B since she was first elected in 2012, and was successfully re-elected in 2014 by more than 2,600 votes – a 58-41 margin. “I’m proud of the work I’ve been able to accomplish for our community for the past three years, and believe there’s more I can do if I have the honor of

being re-elected,� Wills said in a press release. “My husband and I welcomed our first child, Gideon, into the world on February 4th, and I’m more committed than ever to doing my part to ensuring that Rosemount, Apple Valley, Coates, and all of Minnesota continues to be a great place to live, work, and raise a family.� Wills cited several accomplishments from her first two terms as evidence of her ability to work across the aisle to achieve results for the district including funding

for the Minnesota Zoo, passing a measure that will help save District 196 more than $500,000 per year by allowing them to build another bus hub, and passing legislation to streamline special education paperwork for teachers. Wills also successfully authored bonding legislation that secured $7 million in bonding to complete the Transportation and Emerging Technologies wing at Dakota County Technical College. “It’s been such a tremendous

honor to serve for the past three years, but there’s still more to do,� Wills said. “I’m committed to passing tax relief for middle class families, improving education and closing the achievement gap, reining in health care costs, and ensuring that taxpayers are respected and wasteful spending is eliminated. I would be honored to continue as your state representative.� To learn more about Wills’ re-election campaign, visit www. willsforhouse.com. Anna Wills

Empty building has a buyer Mixed uses planned for Parkway Place by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A prominent Burnsville office building that’s been collecting white elephant status since it was vacated in 2012 has found a buyer. Investment group CG Holdings bought Parkway Place around Feb. 1, said Dan Gustafson, the new owners’ real estate broker. The tax-forfeited property on the southwest corner of Nicollet Avenue and Burnsville Parkway was bought from Dakota County. Plans for the building, located in the Heart of the City, could include four or five retail shops and a restaurant on the first floor with offices on the second, Gustafson said. “It is very good news,� Burnsville Economic Development Coordinator Skip Nienhaus said of the sale. “When it’s full, it’ll be even better news.�

The location is “fantastic,� said Roh Perera of CG Holdings, which he said owns office properties in Minneapolis. Gustafson, a Burnsville resident and former City Council member, alerted Perera to the property. “We saw the building, we looked at the valuation, we had a good vision of what we could do with this building, and we went ahead,� said Perera, of Golden Valley. Tenants were booted from the 29,000-squarefoot building at 101 W. Burnsville Parkway in October 2012. They included the Burnsville Chamber of Commerce office and U.S. Rep. John Kline’s district office. The ownership group, headed by Pinehurst Properties President Thomas Lohmann, reported that the building was to be sold to a developer. According to Nienhaus, a deal to convert the building into a Walgreen’s fell through. It’s been “basically up for sale� since. Last year the property

went into tax forfeiture, reverting to county ownership after four years of unpaid taxes, Nienhaus said. It went up for auction in mid-December, with the county asking $900,000 to cover unpaid taxes and assessments, he said. It didn’t sell at auction, Nienhaus said, but CG Holdings quickly arrived. The property is valued for tax purposes at $1.6 million, said Gustafson, of Lakeville-based Fresh Start Realty. Built in 1981, Parkway Place “was just a tired building,� Gustafson said. “They weren’t really keeping up the maintenance on the building, so it didn’t draw the higher rents that it is capable of drawing. The concept here is to go in and actually make it a very nice place, a place you’d be happy to have your office in and be even more happy to show your clients.� Gustafson, who watched the Heart of the City take shape while serving two council terms ending in 2012, said a

Roh Perera, left, and real estate broker Dan Gustafson stand in front of the Parkway Place building in Burnsville. Perera’s company, CG Holdings, has bought the building, which has been vacant since October 2012. (Photo by John Gessner) thriving Parkway Place could “kickstart� further development in the downtown redevelopment area. He said he’ll serve as the building’s leasing agent. The first steps are bringing in an architect and building a model office space upstairs, he said.

Perera said he’s interested in looking at other properties in the Heart of the City 2 district, where Parkway Place is located, the denser Hearty of the City 1 district to the north, and elsewhere in town. “We’re open to opportunities in this area:

teardowns, vacant land or buildings that we can go in and do work on,� Gustafson said. “This investment group wants to invest in Burnsville.� John Gessner can be reached at (952) 846-2031 or email john.gessner@ecm-inc.com.

Spotlight on Education “Imagine Your Future�

How to help your kids in the classroom Parents often play a crucial role in helping their kids do well in school. Numerous studies have shown the positive impact that parental involvement can have on a student’s academic career, and those studies have inspired many educators to encourage their students’ parents to take a more active role in their children’s education, including helping them with their homework. Parents can help kids with their homework in various ways, but that very involvement alone can help to establish a groundwork in which kids understand there are specific rules regarding their homework and that these rules will be enforced. Even parents who might not be able to help kids with their calculus homework are already helping by simply creating an environment in which kids know they are expected to do their homework every day and that mom and dad will be there to make sure they do. But enforcing rules about homework is not the only way parents can help their kids in the classroom. The following are a few simple ways parents can support their children’s academic efforts as well. • Contact teachers. Contacting teachers is now easier than ever before. Many teachers recognize the benefits of involving parents in their youngsters’ education, and as a result these teachers go to great

lengths to make information about their classes available, whether it’s by posting a class syllabus online or emailing parents about upcoming assignments or examinations. Whereas the parents of yesteryear used to wait until parent-teacher conference sessions to learn how their child was performing in the classroom, today’s parents can email their children’s teachers for updates or questions if they notice their child is struggling with a particular subject. • Help your child choose his or her coursework. The competition to get into a good college is stiff, and many of today’s high school students recognize that reality. Unfortunately, some students bite off more than they can chew. High school students don’t have the flexibility with regard to their coursework that they will have in college, but that does not mean their schedules are entirely up to someone else. When the time comes for kids to pick their courses, parents should sit down and help

kids choose a schedule that’s challenging but not overwhelming. • Emphasize education over extracurricular activities. Parents often marvel at the ease with which their children juggle busy schedules. While students might be deft at balancing academics with a host of extracurricular activities, many adults feel that today’s kids are overburdened, and parents who feel that way should not hesitate to take some tasks off their youngsters’ plates. Parents should stress to their children that education takes precedence over their extracurricular activities, paying careful attention to kids’ academic performances during those times of the school year when their children’s schedule seems especially busy. During such times, parents also can contact children’s teachers and ask that teachers let them know if their youngsters’ academic performance begins to suffer. • Limit distractions. Time to unwind is important, but parents should keep a watchful eye on just how much time their kids are unwinding. Too much time spent online or in front of the television can compromise academic performance. Establish limits as to how much time kids can spend online, watching television and playing video games, and enforce those limits so kids have time to focus on their academics. There are various ways that parents can help their children’s academic efforts. (Photo submitted)

Finding the right preschool Parents know that choosing a preschool for their children is a decision not to be taken lightly. Preschools are often a child’s first extensive experience away from home, and the right school can help kids make that transition more smoothly. When looking for a preschool for their kids, parents may want to employ the following tips. • Make preschool a priority. Many of the best preschools have only a limited number of spots available, and there may even be a waiting list for those spots. So it behooves parents to begin their search for a preschool as early as possible. Doing so affords

parents the time to visit various facilities, speak with staff members and maybe even observe a typical day at the school. Leaving things until the last minute takes away that flexibility, and parents may be forced to choose a facility with which they are largely unfamiliar. • Take kids along on visits. Though parents typically have a checklist of things they want to find in a preschool facility, it pays to remember that the kids will ultimately be the ones spending time at the school. So take youngsters along when visiting facilities, paying particular attention to how kids react to each facility and

how well staff members engage your youngster in the day’s activities. Many kids take time to adjust to preschool, but you can still learn a lot about a facility by observing how your child interacts with staff and how well the facility meshes with your child’s personality. • Don’t mistake cost with quality. The cost of preschool can range from affordable to exorbitant. But the costliest school is not necessarily the best facility, nor the best fit for your child. While an expensive preschool may be well worth the investment, parents should still consider all of their options before making any commitments.

Bogus website tries to steal identity of local auto dealer Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota was alerted recently to a case of business identity theft targeting Import Auto Sales LLC, a used car dealership located in St. Louis Park. A fraudulent website with a similar business name and using the company’s physical address attempted to solicit deposits via prepaid debit cards by deceiving consumers nationwide into thinking they were transacting with Import Auto Sales. BBB has been able to help get the bogus website taken down by working with the Web registrar unknowingly hosting the site. The fraudulent website (import-auto-store.com) first came to the attention of the local BBB through a report from BBB in Columbia, South Carolina. That BBB was monitoring another fraudulent website, when they noted a similarly suspect website — presumably operated by the same scammers — had been created using information appropriated from Import Auto Sales LLC, in the Twin Cities. While the fake website was operational, BBB noted a spike in inquiries for Import Auto Sales LLC,

likely due to individuals trying to research importauto-store.com. BBB received a phone call from a consumer who was considering purchasing two jet skis from the bogus entity. However, a request to send $1,000 via OneVanilla prepaid Visa cards made the customer suspicious. After speaking with BBB, the customer indicated they would be walking away from the transaction. The owner of Import Auto Sales LLC, also reported that a couple from Wisconsin drove to their lot thinking they were dealing with the legitimate business, when in fact they were in contact with the fraudulent online entity. Business owners and customers can contact BBB at 800-646-6222 to report suspected cases of business identity theft.

Sports Lightning: Bright lights of the X won’t bother them Girls hockey team returns to state tournament by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Haley Ford vividly remembers the first time she stepped on the Xcel Energy Center ice. She’s hoping what she felt then won’t be repeated Thursday. “It was really bright, so bright I remember my eyes tearing up,” said Ford, a junior forward for Eastview’s girls hockey team. “It made my heart beat really fast for some reason. I was like, ‘I’ve got to focus on everything so I don’t fall in front of all these people.’ ” That was 12 months ago, when Eastview played in the state girls hockey tournament for the first time. Ford probably wasn’t the only Lightning player unnerved by the surroundings. “I don’t think it was necessarily being at the X,” Eastview coach Herb Harvey said. “We came out for warmups and there were maybe 1,000 people there. Then we came back out for game time and one side is completely packed with people. They were probably thinking, ‘oh my god, I’ve never played in front of that many people before.’ ” Eastview lost 6-1 in the Class AA quarterfinals to Hill-Murray, which went on to its second consecutive state championship. The Lightning went on to Ridder Arena, where it played two more games and eventually fin-

The Lightning defeated Eagan 4-3 in overtime Feb. 10 to reach the state girls hockey tournament for the second consecutive year. (Photo by Mike Shaughnessy) ished sixth. Now that Eastview is back in the state tournament, its goal is to stay at the Xcel Center for three games. Harvey said he doesn’t expect big crowds to affect the Lightning this time. “If it happens this year, I don’t think they’ll think anything of it. We’re in a good spot,” he said.

Eastview (18-6-4) plays in the Class AA quarterfinals against No. 2-seeded Edina (19-7-1) at 11 a.m. Thursday. The Lightning doesn’t go in as the favorite, but it is going in on a streak of good play. Eastview has won eight of its last nine games, including three in the Section 3AA playoffs. “We’ve been trying to mimic

what Edina would do,” senior forward Holly McPhee said after Tuesday’s practice. “We have to try to stay with them, but I think we’ve got speed, too. Our coaches are always saying, ‘Use your speed,’ because that’s how we’re going to beat teams.” Eastview also can fall back on good memories if one of its state tournament games goes to overtime. The Lightning won its last two section games in overtime, both on goals by Natalie Snodgrass. The Lightning’s 4-3 victory over Eagan in the Section 3AA final Feb. 10 is likely to become the stuff of legend, at least at Eastview High School. Eagan’s Elise Lee scored to give her team a 3-2 lead with 3 minutes, 33 seconds remaining in the third period. Eastview then made its comeback challenge even more difficult by being penalized for too many players on the ice. Eagan, however, was whistled for too many players with 30 seconds to play. After Eastview’s penalty expired, the Lightning went on the power play and Snodgrass swatted in a loose puck with 7.9 seconds remaining. Snodgrass, who leads Eastview in scoring with 34 goals and 53 points, then scored the winner at 5:45 of overtime, completing a hat trick (she also scored in the first period). “From experience, all the section final games come down to literally the last second, so I knew we had hope,” Ford said. “We’d done it before, so we knew we could do it again,”

McPhee added. The Lightning was 0-4-2 in a stretch from late December until mid-January. Leading scorer Snodgrass was not available for several of those games while she played for the U.S. team in the world Under-18 tournament. “We had a two-week lull when we lost the majority of our games,” Harvey said. “It was the holiday break and I think our kids got out of their routine of school, having a consistent schedule and getting to bed at the right time. It makes a difference. I just think it was more of a mental thing.” Eastview is back in its routine and Harvey sees no reason to change. “We’re not changing our game or doing anything fancy. We’ll just play the same game we have all year,” Harvey said. Except this time the Lightning believes it can take its game to St. Paul and not be affected by the state tournament’s magnitude. “It was so awesome, I can’t even describe it,” McPhee said of her first state tournament. “Looking up and seeing all the people that were supporting you, it was a feeling I’ve never had before. You’d like to think this is all you’ve worked for when you were younger. This is it. You’ve done it. “This year we’re still really excited, but now we can focus on playing the game.” Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecm-inc.com.

AV gets a battle in section final Eagles advance to state for 34th consecutive year by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

In recent years Apple Valley’s trip through the section wrestling tournament has been little more than a formality. Not so last week, when the No. 1-ranked Eagles faced a strong challenge from fourth-ranked Shakopee for the Class 3A, Section 2 championship. Trailing by two points with two matches remaining, the Eagles won both by fall for a 34-24 victory that sends them to the state team tournament for the 34th consecutive year – in other words, every year since 1983. Apple Valley (18-1) is the No. 1 seed in the state Class 3A tournament and faces Hastings in a quarterfinal match at 9 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 25, at Xcel Energy Center. St. Michael-Albertville, Anoka, Farmington and Willmar are the second through fifth seeds. If Apple Valley wins its first-round match it would face Farmington or Willmar in the semifinals. But first the Eagles will compete in the Section 2 individual tournament Friday and Saturday at Eastview High School. Apple Valley was down eight points to Shakopee after the 160-pound match in the section final at Ap-

ple Valley High School, but the Eagles won four of the last five matches. Mark Hall (170 pounds), Tanyi Besong (220) and Gable Steveson (285) won by fall and Prince Hyeamang earned a 4-1 decision. Nate Larson won by major decision at 113. Sebas Swiggum (120), Jalen Thul (138) and Brock Morgan (152) won by decision. Apple Valley defeated Bloomington Jefferson 74-3 and Eastview 51-16 in the first two rounds of the section team tourney. Eastview (19-6) defeated Lakeville North 51-18 in the quarterfinals before losing to Apple Valley in the semifinals. Knowledge Gutierrez (145), Collin Dolejs (160), Mike Delich (195) and Dane McDevitt (220) won their matches against Apple Valley.

AV wins SSC boys hoops

North 70-62 on Tuesday night. Apple Valley, 24-1, has won 18 consecutive games since its only loss against Hopkins in December. On Tuesday the Eagles played their second consecutive game without leading scorer Gary Trent Jr., who has been out because of illness. Sophomore guard Tre Jones had 34 points, nine rebounds and five assists. He made nine of 16 shots, including both of his three-point attempts, and was 14-for-16 from the free-throw line. Brock Bertram had 11 points and 15 rebounds for the Eagles and Cameron Kirksey added nine points. Apple Valley got past Shakopee 75-65 in overtime Feb. 11 behind 35 points from Jones, 16 from Kirksey and 15 from Bertram. Bertram also had 10 rebounds. The Eagles close the regular season at home against Rosemount at 7 p.m. Friday. They will be the No. 1 seed in the Class 4A, Section 3 playoffs that begin Wednesday, Feb. 24. The only other team in the section with a winning record is Eastview (13-12), which is likely to be the No. 2 seed.

SSC skiers ascend to top of podium by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

It could have been the awards podium at a regular-season conference skiing meet – but it was much bigger than that. Once everyone settled into their places on the podium at the state boys Alpine meet, skiers from the South Suburban Conference occupied the top three steps. There was Eagan senior Tommy Anderson, who had the fastest time on each of the two runs to win his first state championship; Burnsville junior Jack Lindsay, Anderson’s closest pursuer and the state runner-up; and Eastview junior Luke Doolittle, who placed third. Although the three ski for different high schools, they’re teammates at the

Buck Hill Ski Racing Club, which also can claim the state girls individual champion, Maddie Dekko of Blake. Anderson and Lindsay separated themselves from the rest of the competitors at the state meet Feb. 10 at Giants Ridge. Anderson’s winning time of 1 minute, 7.76 seconds was about three-tenths of a second faster than Lindsay’s 1:08.09, but Lindsay was more than one second faster than Doolittle, who finished in 1:09.33. This was Anderson’s third state meet. He showed he was a skier with a bright future when he finished fifth at state as a freshman. The next year he was in contention to win but fell on his second run and slipped to 64th. He did not qualify for state last season after fall-

ing in the Section 4 meet. Anderson won the Section 4 championship this year. Lindsay, the South Suburban Conference individual champion, took sixth in the state meet last year. Doolittle was 10th at state in 2015 and second in the SSC individual standings this year. Doolittle’s younger brother Josh, an eighthgrader, finished 24th in the state meet in 1:14.04. Robert Hapke of Apple Valley struggled on his first run but had the eighth-best time on the second run to place 73rd overall. Edina won the boys team championship, finishing eight points ahead of Minnetonka. Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

Calm as always, Eastview’s Freed skis to state title by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

If Margie Freed’s approach to competition was an Internet meme, it probably would be, “Keep Calm and Ski On.” “It’s the way I’ve always been,” said Freed, the Eastview senior who won the state girls Nordic pursuit championship last week. “A lot of people probably wouldn’t expect me to be that calm before a race, but I’ve always just wanted to do my best and see what happens.” Freed’s coach, Brian Abery, said that attitude can be unique among high school athletes who sometimes put too much pressure on themselves to perform at their best. “Margie is always composed,” said Abery, who is head coach of the ISD 196 Nordic program. “More than any other top skier I’ve coached, she is so even keel. She doesn’t let anything bother her as she prepares for a race, and if she doesn’t ski as well as she thinks she should have, she just says, ‘I’ll try to do better next time.’ ” Freed did admit to putting a little more pressure on herself last week because it was her fifth and final time at state. After finishing third in last year’s pursuit race and being ranked in the state this season, she went into the Feb. 11 state meet as the favorite. Freed built a 25-second lead in the 5-kilometer freestyle race at Giants Ridge in Biwabik and had the fourthbest time in the 5K classic race. Her combined time of 32 minutes, 44.6 seconds was about 15 seconds faster than St. Paul Highland Park junior Erin Moening, who made up 10 seconds in the classic race. “I knew Erin Moening was going to

be close, and she did get second,” Freed said. “She was close enough to make it a little nerve-wracking for me.” Abery said Freed probably would have preferred to have the classic race first and freestyle second – that was the order of races at the Section 1 meet, which Freed also won – but the layout of the Giants Ridge course doesn’t make it feasible to do the skate race last. “It was cold, but it wasn’t that bad,” Abery said. “For one thing, there was no wind. The cold also makes it a little easier for waxing. Unlike the (South Suburban) conference meet where we missed the wax, we thought we had the right wax on our kids’ skis at the state meet.” Freed ran for Eastview in the state cross country meet last fall and said she is likely to return to the Lightning track and field team in the spring, but her priority now is to find a college where she can ski. “There are a lot in the East, a few in the Midwest and a couple out West, but the options are definitely limited,” she said. Eastview was seventh in the girls team competition won by Robbinsdale Armstrong. The Lightning finished 16 points behind South Suburban Conference rival Burnsville, which was second to Eastview at the Section 1 meet. Annika Martell was 37th in the pursuit race in 36:20.8. Kylie Kraemer was 53rd in 37:35.5. Sydney Hedberg was 90th in 39:10.8. Ana Brakke was 111th, Gabrielle Kraemer finished 114th and Erin Dawson was 153rd. Eastview’s top four state finishers are seniors, as is Dawson. Eastview senior Sean Tuff was 119th in 34:10.4 in boys pursuit.

LETTERS, from 4A and Dodd when those roads are upgraded, in the long term. They were taking comments on ideas to improve these bikeways (both shoulder and off-road trails). These are all good things. What staff did not present was a distinct re-alignment of the greenway bicycle network around Lebanon Hills as was specifically directed by the County Board. They did not eliminate the potential for Lebanon Hills to become a thoroughfare and they most certainly did not prevent the proposed connector trail from being a segment of the greenway network. The greenway plans show the greenway’s specifically branded, very clear and distinct signage, and very nice access areas with seating, water, and occasional bathroom facilities. Clearly, the highly controversial Connector Trail is still very much a main artery of the planned greenway network despite board direction that the connector is not to serve as a segment of the greenway network. I hope the county commissioners direction was not simply lip service, I hope the study was not wasted tax-dollars, and I hope to see some action to prove it. WENDY PAULSEN Apple Valley

Craig has the right business acumen To the editor: Bipartisanship is an uncommon theme with our current Congress, but 75 Republicans joined with the Democrats to pass a two-year budget deal and avoid a default and government shutdown. Instead of celebrating the bipartisanship, each Republican candidate for Congress in our congressional district chose ideology over a functioning government. They would rather see a government shutdown, the result of which includes the furlough of hundreds of thousands of federal workers and the closure of public schools, rather than give up any of their ideological demands. I support Angie Craig for Congress, who is running as a Democrat. Craig was a top level executive at one of our largest Minnesota employers. Craig shows constantly how she can work with people to get decisions successfully made. We need people in Washington, D.C., who can get things done, not more uncompromising ideologues. Craig has the business acumen, intelligence and caring attitude that will give our district a strong voice in Congress. We need Angie Craig to represent us in Congress, and get things done. CAROLYN THORNTON Burnsville

jority Leader Joyce Peppin, R-Rogers, said in a statement. “Fixing our state’s roads and bridges is a priority for Minnesotans in all parts of the state, and should be one of the first priorities in any bonding bill.” Dayton’s plan would dwarf a $370 million bonding law passed during last More Session Daily stories are at www. year’s June special session.

DILLON, from 1A our childhood,” Borowicz said. “We’ve jumped in, gone over the edge and dove in it before. This one time, I guess, just happened to be a little different.” Medicated and hospitalized, Borowicz said he kept thinking he would recover, but first realized the extent of his injuries when a doctor told him his chances of walking again were “slim to none.” “It was pretty devastating at first,” Borowicz said. “It feels like a punch in the gut, but you’ve just got to pick your hopes up and drag your will with you and keep on moving to the next step. There’s no victory in quitting or giving up.” After weeks of treatment at Hennepin County Medical Center, Borowicz was transferred to Sister Kenny Institute, where regaining function was his focus and he drew upon skills and attitudes he learned in sports to cope and persevere. “You just always need to stay positive,” Borowicz said. “Everyone’s going to have down days, but as long as you can stay positive through the majority of it, I think you’ll better yourself and everyone around you.” Rehabilitation started with stretching activities to keep his muscles from contracting, then he relearned daily living activities including how to feed himself and shower on his own.

The functioning level of his half kidney left food tasting metallic and the meds made him feel groggy, but he never complained or missed work.” Doors open at 1:30 p.m.

severance, Borowicz has regained some use of his arms and hands. Despite the additional challenges, Borowicz has continued to pursue his eduction, and just switched from Normandale Community College to the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities where he is working on a business and marketing education degree. He is also continuing rehabilitation at Courage Kenny in Golden Valley, and can drive and mow the lawn using hand-controlled equipment. Borowicz once dreamed of earning a football scholarship, but now eagerly cheers brother Matthew’s sophomore Lakeville South football team as often as possible. For himself, Borowicz is actively striving for a life of independence. “My hopes are definitely to walk again, and just be involved in the community, have my own family, own my own house and be independent, have my own job,” Borowicz said. “I hope for the best.” He said he has been amazed at the caring way the people of Lakeville have responded to his situation, and said the support has made a significant difference in his life. Many friends have brought signs, flowers and candy and encouragement, and Daryl McNab, owner of the Red Fox Tavern, holds an annual motorcycle and car rally fundraiser event with all the profits going to Borowicz. Before his accident, Borowicz worked as a

dishwasher at the Red Fox, and McNab placed a photo of Borowicz wearing a Stetson hat in the entry of his business. McNab also put a “Dillon Burger,” on the menu, and for every one sold, he donates $1 to the family. Borowicz said he is grateful for the community support he has found in Lakeville. “I’ve realized how nice and supportive Lakeville has been throughout this whole process,” Borowicz said. “People come out of the woodwork like crazy in this town. It’s ridiculous to see how much love and care there is in this community.” McNab said Borowicz has demonstrated remarkable courage, strength of character and resilience, often encouraging others with an enthusiastic thumbs-up sign and always smiling. He described Borowicz as a polite, outstanding employee who never uttered a bad word to anyone. “I sometimes get tears in my eyes thinking about how strong and how good he is,” McNab said. Borowicz is not only maintaining a positive outlook, but preparing for the best possible outcome. “My view is, you just want to stay as healthy as you can in the chair until they come out with that big medical breakthrough and then your body’s going to be ready to go,” Borowicz said.

SUN THISWEEK - Apple Valley February 19, 2016 17A

Thisweekend Italian pianist featured at anniversary concert Dakota Valley Symphony set to perform Feb. 21 by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Dakota Valley Symphony is tapping an acclaimed pianist for its 30th anniversary concert on Sunday, Feb. 21, at the Ames Center in Burnsville. Roberto Plano, a resident of northern Italy and a longtime friend of Dakota Valley Symphony conductor Stephen Ramsey, will be performing Franz Liszt’s Piano Concerto No. 1 with the symphony at the 3 p.m. concert. The Paris-trained musician has previously

logged performances with the Berlin Philharmonic and the Milan Philharmonic, and his outgoing personality has made him a favorite for guest appearances on radio stations around the world, including NPR’s “Performance Today,� the BBC’s “In Tune� and Piazza Verdi in Italy. He’s appeared in the documentaries “In the Heart of Music� and “Encores,� which aired on PBS in the United States. Plano’s guest spot with the symphony is a reunion of sorts — he also performed with the

Dakota Valley Symphony at its 25th anniversary concert at the Burnsville venue in 2011, along with joining the symphony for its “Grieg Meets Verdi� fundraiser concert in 2013. In addition to Plano, the Feb. 21 anniversary concert will feature 150 vocalists from the Lakeville North and Lakeville South high school choirs — along with the singers of the Dakota Valley Symphony Chorus — performing John Rutter’s “Gloria.� Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for seniors and $5 for students and

are available at the Ames Center box office, 12600 Nicollet Ave., online at Ticketmaster.com and by phone at 800-9822787. The Dakota Valley Symphony is also hosting a dinner and solo recital by Plano in the Ames Center’s secondfloor atrium on Friday, Feb. 19. Tickets are $75 for that event. More information about both events is at dakotavalleysymphony. org. Email Andrew Miller at Roberto Plano will take the stage of the Ames Center andrew.miller@ecm-inc. on Feb. 21 as a guest artist with the Dakota Valley Symphony. (Photo submitted) com.

House, Senate restart transportation talks Two sides still far apart on how to fund improvements by Jonathan Avise SESSION DAILY

Is 2016 the year Minnesota lawmakers strike a deal to pump more funding into the state’s creaking transportation system? The House and Senate transportation committees met Monday to re-start the process of reaching an agreement, with lawmakers voicing optimism ahead of a legislative session

that again has a long-term transportation funding solution atop lawmakers’ to-do list. With studies projecting a roughly $6 billion transportation funding shortfall over the next decade, the debate has not been over whether more dollars are needed for the nation’s fifthlargest system of roads and bridges, but rather over how to pay for it. Joint House/Senate transportation committee discussion of House File 4 “We do realize in the process here the end result is going to be based on compromise,� said

Rep. Tim Kelly, R-Red Wing, chair of the House Transportation Policy and Finance Committee. “That is why we’re here.� Monday’s hearing, however, also offered a reminder of just how far apart differing plans the two chambers passed in 2015 are. The Republican-backed House plan would raise an additional $7 billion for roads and bridges over the next decade in part by redirecting motor vehicle-related tax revenue away from the state’s General Fund, identifying efficiencies in the Department of Transportation

budget, and utilizing some of the state’s projected $1.2 billion budget surplus. Meanwhile, the DFL-backed package the Senate passed last spring proposes to raise roughly $11 billion for roads, bridges and transit by instituting a new gas tax and expanding a metro area transit-dedicated sales tax from one-quarter to threequarters of a cent. Despite the differences, Rep. Frank Hornstein, DFL-Minneapolis, the minority lead on the transportation committee, said he believes both sides are committed to a achieving a long-

term solution this session. “I think a compromise could be in reach,� he said. The Legislature is scheduled to reconvene March 8, and must adjourn by May 23. That leaves just more than 10 weeks to try to succeed where lawmakers could not last spring, a big reason, Kelly said, for jumpstarting the process with Monday’s hearing.

Lakeville police retire ‘hero’ K-9 Zeus Diagnosed with kidney failure by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

After six years of faithful and brave service, Lakeville police K-9 Zeus retired Jan. 4. Lakeville police Sgt. Jason Jensen, Zeus’ only handler on the force, has brought his ailing K-9 partner home to live out his days as a beloved family pet after purchasing him for $1 from the city of Lakeville. The long-haired German shepherd has been diagnosed with kidney failure and an anonymous donor has agreed to pay all expenses for prescription food that helps protect his health and extend his life. A new K-9 officer, currently called Kilo (but that may change), will soon joined the force and

is to be partnered with Officer Tom Danielson. Jensen said Zeus, trained for tracking, criminal apprehension, evidence search and recovery, narcotics tracking, building search and handler protection, was deployed 250 times during his time on the force. One of Zeus’ most significant cases came during a 2014 Scott County call for a shots-fired home invasion. Jensen said Zeus helped officers search the area and clear the house, then two hours later responded to a call in Burnsville where the K-9 tracked suspects who were later tied to the home invasion and convicted of felonies. “That was actually a really proud moment,� Jensen said. “The people were charged and ultimately convicted of various things that they participated in and were

pretty prolific criminals.� Jensen said he trained for months before he got Zeus as a partner, and called having him by his side “one of the greatest experiences of my life.� He said the intense bond he has for Zeus is hard to describe, but grew through the amount of time spent together. “You spend more time with your K-9 partner than you do your family.� Jensen said. Jensen called his first day on the job with Zeus “extremely nerve-wracking� because he wanted to make the city and department proud, and was uncertain as a trainer, but over the years they developed a shared intuition. “It’s neat to see as you kind of mature together the trust you have in one another, the ability to really move forward together,� Jensen said. “It sounds crazy, but you just

know what each other is thinking or where they’re supposed to go.� Jensen said Zeus was never afraid to get into a fight or protect him, and he learned to depend on Zeus’ instincts. “I became a better handler when I just followed him, because he knew what he was doing,� Jensen said. “You just let him do his thing, because he’s got no preconceived notions and he’s just going to follow his nose.� He described Zeus’ last day on the job as “kind of melancholy.� They patrolled as they normally do, and he made sure there was a building search involved so Zeus could get his last “bad guy,� and Zeus enjoyed a hamburger and a Frosty Paw ice cream treat. Zeus was recently honored at a Lakeville City Council meeting, and Jensen was also presented
