With a U.S. House vote slated Thursday for the American Health Care Act, a group of 2nd District faith leaders went to the Burnsville office of U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis on Tuesday in an attempt to present information to the representative and ask him to reconsider his support of the bill. Lewis, a Republican, voted in favor of the bill during a Budget Committee markup last week. “I’m proud to be keeping my promise to start real health care reform,� Lewis said in a news release. “The American Health Care Act is about lowering premiums, giving universal access to quality care, and letting the

patient choose a plan that works, not the plan government thinks they should have. I look forward to continuing to work for all the Minnesotans who have been hit so hard by Obamacare.� The presentation in Lewis’ office to a staff member was organized by ISAIAH, a coalition of congregations whose goal is to work for racial and economic justice in Minnesota. About 25 people packed into the front room of the office to share the stories of people they say would be affected by a repeal of the Affordable Care Act and replacing it with AHCA. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated the replacement bill would leave 14 million more Americans uninsured by 2018 than under current law, and Photo by Tad Johnson 24 million more by 2026. The group said that more than ISIAH staff member Alexa Horwart talks with people who were at the Burnsville office of U.S. Rep.

Those who know polka are probably familiar with the Chmielewski family. Apple Valley resident Patty Chmielewski traces her family’s involvement in polka to the late 1800s when her great-grandfather, Frank, played his fiddle at barn dances and weddings. Her father, Florian, and her uncles hosted the polka-themed television show “Polish TV Party� starting in the mid-1950s, followed by the nationally syndicated “Chmielewski Funtime.� At one point in the 1970s, she said, “Chmielewski Funtime� became so popular it topped the hit show “All in the Family� and “Monday Night Football� in the ratings. Chmielewski is continuing the family tradition as leader of Chmielewski Funtime, the polka band that includes three of her kids — Nick, Lexy and Kati. She’s also the host, with

husband Michael Bell, of the KBEK-FM radio show “Funtime Polka Party.� Now, Chmielewski and Bell are looking to bring polka to a wider audience as hosts of a TV version of “Funtime Polka Party� on Pioneer Public

Television. The couple recently reached an agreement with the public station, which reaches 2.5 million homes in the Midwest, for two seasons of “Funtime Polka Party.� See POLKA, 8A

County officials stuck in CTIB Question of fairness in transit funding leads to impasse to dissolve regional board by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

It appears the Counties Transit Improvement Board won’t break up after all. With Dakota County unwilling to approve dissolution of the regional transit agency and no additional meeting slated before a March 31 deadline to decertify its taxing authority to the Department of Revenue for this fiscal quarter, CTIB will likely stick together at least for another three months, according to Dakota County Commissioner Tom Egan. The next quarterly deadline is June 30, but Egan doesn’t know if the impasse will be broken by then. “Is something going to happen in the next 90 days? I don’t know,� said Egan, an attorney, who hinted during a Tuesday

phone interview that a mediator might be needed to resolve the dispute. “There are going to have to be some softening of positions. Feelings have been strong. “The good news is this allows us more time to negotiate, and the bad news is we continue to pay the tax,� Egan said. Dakota County is holding up the dissolution of CTIB as the county attempts to garner some of the money it says it has contributed over the years to the regional transportation project agency. The county wants $29.1 million as part of the break up, but the four other CTIB counties — Hennepin, Ramsey, Anoka and Washington — are offering $16 million. The discrepancy, according to Hennepin County Commissioner Peter McLaughlin, is that Dakota County is not taking into ac-

U.S. Sen. Al Franken struck a quizzical pose March 16 while visiting the student-run Geek Squad desk at Burnsville High School. In addition to seeking IT “help� from the Geek Squad, the Minnesota senator visited other areas of the newly refashioned high school, including the engineering suite and the fabrication laboratory. He held a round table session with several school, business and community leaders. Franken discussed the need to close the “skills gap� in the nation’s workforce.

Held at the Rosemount Steeple Center, the 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. event included guest speaker Mark Hirsch, several workshops and a 60-vendor book fair that allowed authors a chance to talk to folks about their books. “All of us on the committee heard overwhelmingly positive comments on all aspects of the event,� said committee member Sue Stein, “and the surveys that the authors, vendors, presenters and participants filled out and gave to us also had positive comments. The event went smoothly from beginning to end, thanks to the hard work and planning of the committee members and volunteers.� The event was organized by the Rosemount Area Arts Council and Friends of the Robert Trail Library with the goal to bring the Rosemount area writing and book-loving community out of their writing and reading nooks to learn more about the craft. Hirsch, who became a published author after losing his longtime day job as a newspaper photographer, spoke about how he embarked on a yearlong project to document the life of a single oak tree near his western Wisconsin home on Facebook. He spoke about how the following he created online with more than 40,000 “likes� led to the publishing of “That Tree,� which has sold 2,300 copies to date. He says that is remarkable for an independent, unknown author. Stein said people found Hirsch to be an excellent and inspirational speak-

er. She said they left with practical advice to inspire their own work. One attendee said Hirsch’s presentation was “top shelf � and alone worth the trip. Though specifics were not tallied, the event likely drew people from throughout the metro area, since the Rosemount event essentially replaced the book fair that had been held in Bloomington for the past several years. The Rosemount group was able to use many of the contacts and relationships the Bloomington group had developed over the years. Stein said people described the workshop sessions as awesome, fun, engaging, informative and inspiring. People also raved about the gorgeous facility, according to Stein. Last year, the city of Rosemount opened a

10,000-square-foot expansion to the Steeple Center with a new common area and two floors of classroom space. The new space was added to the original small lobby and the old sanctuary of St. Joseph Church, which was converted for use as a performance venue and large group gathering space. The site allowed for organizers to have five different concurrent workshop sessions four times during the day. The workshops were organized under five themes: Getting Started, the Craft of Writing, Genres (mystery, poetry, memoir, graphic novels), the Business of Publication, and Marketing and Public Relations.

Opinion Carry Sunshine Week’s message throughout the year by John Bodette SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Sunshine Week, a national effort to promote openness in government, was held last week as an effort of the American Society of News Editors and Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. When we are experiencing “fake news,” “alternative facts,” frequent falsehoods and efforts to label journalists as “enemies of the people,” there is no better time to shine the light on government. While I was executive editor of the St. Cloud Times, we did several in-depth reports on how citizens could access public information. The Times did reporting projects to request public information from city and county governments, including law enforcement, to make sure information that is required to be public was readily made available. But rather than directing this column to the journalists who work hard to serve

Guest Columnist

John Bodette their communities, I want to ask all citizens to be inspired by Sunshine Week. Most people don’t realize the wealth of information that is not only available to the public, but required by law to be provided. Do you want a copy of your school superintendent’s employment contract? Ask for it. It is public. Want to know who is in your county jail? You should be able to access the information online or request a list from local law enforcement. Want a copy of your city or county budgets? Ask for it. Those are public re-

cords. My best advice has always been to assume, with a few exceptions, that anything having to do with government actions is public. Some personnel matters and most juvenile court records aren’t public. But so many other documents are open. For example: Expense records for government officials are public. Government contracts with private companies and individuals are public. Another good source of information are the legal notices published in daily and weekly newspapers, also required by law in many cases. Need help on answering questions on whether information is public? The state Department of Administration’s Information Policy Analysis Division is where to turn. IPAD’s primary mission is to offer help and consultation on the Data Practices Act, the Open Meeting Law and

other information policy state laws. The agency answers questions from residents, governments and groups and businesses interested in public records. You can find them here: http://www.ipad.state.mn.us/ index.html. This is the time for all citizens to demand open access to government information. Transparency in government makes for stronger communities. I think the Washington Post has hit the target by placing under its front page masthead the words “Democracy dies in the darkness.” There is no better time to bring transparency to government at all levels than now to carry the message Sunshine Week throughout the year. John Bodette recently retired as executive editor of the St. Cloud Times and Times Media. Columns reflect the opinion of the author.

Letters Lewis’ health care vote To the editor: The U.S. House of Representatives was expected to vote on a bill Thursday that in its present form, according to the Congressional Budget Office, would deny health care to 24 million Americans. Some of these Americans are our friends and neighbors, and yet U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis — elected to represent all his constituents — has already voted in a Budget Committee in favor of this bill, officially named the American Health Care Act. In support of this bill, Lewis states in a press release that he is “proud to be keeping my promise to start real health care reform.” He claims the bill will “lower premiums,” give “universal access to quality care,” and let the patient “choose a plan that works.” But critics of the bill, including many Republican legislators, are not happy with it. In its present form, for example, it steals from the Medicare trust fund to pay for huge tax breaks for the wealthy, while hastening the program’s insolvency and paving the way to privatization. Republicans are also considering legislation that would devastate Medicaid, a program that currently helps our poor and elderly neighbors. Is this what most of Lewis’s constituents want? To learn the answer, Lewis should show up at a town hall meeting; however, he has yet to do so. Thus far, he appears to be considering both sides of this issue. For example, he sent me a letter (dated March 16) promising to “consider” a bill, House Rule 676, that would expand and improve Medicare for all, creating “a single payer

healthcare system by expanding the Medicare program.” Clearly, given Lewis’s vote for TrumpCare (AHCA), he does not favor an expansion of Medicare or Medicaid. Or does he? Who should have health care in America, and who is responsible for paying it? For many Americans these are life-or-death issues. That is why I am calling on the real Jason Lewis to stand up — at a town hall meeting — to answer questions from his constituents in the 2nd District. BRENDA DALY Burnsville

The gold standard: GOP health care plan To the editor: The underlying principles of the GOP health care plan are solid gold — both from the left and the right. U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis, in his comments of support to the bill, identifies that in his 20-plus year broadcasting career, he interviewed nearly everybody he could from each side on the issue, and all agreed that a patientcentered, market-driven plan, “block grants” to the states for Medicaid, and tax equity at its foundation, were the “gold standard” for the health care system in our country. Expansion of the Medicaid provision under Obama Care (one of the reason for its failure) is that health care providers are being reimbursed at significantly lower rates for the genuinely needy, rather than the able bodied adults enrolled: roughly 50-85 percent for the first group, 90 percent for the second. This just simply isn’t right. Second, the expansion has led to the headline we saw in the March 15 Star Tribune —

“Mayo to give preference to privately insured patients over Medicaid patients.” We have the top of the top, stating they will be choosing who gets care. This type of situation will only worsen with the bulging baby boomer population getting into their senior years. And then, currently, after only a couple of years into Obama Care, one third of the counties’ across the USA, have only one health care provider to choose from. Tax credits will heighten the awareness of the costs of medical care, bringing transparency into the system: too few of us really know what medical care costs. The federal government block granting Medicaid dollars back to the states will allow the states to set the priorities which best serve their citizens. Money, your own, or the taxes we pay, are best spent closest to its source. JANALEE COOPER Northfield

AHCA impact in the 2nd District To the editor: As a pediatric neurosurgeon, I care for children with complex injuries and disorders. I can’t help but wonder how many of my patients will be negatively impacted by proposed changes to our health care system. U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis has a short video on his website explaining how the proposed American Health Care Act would benefit consumers by offering more choice. Unfortunately, this bill would leave many of my patients with little to no choice at all. Under the proposed AHCA, thousands of low-income children who are already at higher risk for illness and injury

could lose their health coverage due to Medicaid enrollment reductions and eligibility restrictions. Minnesota is regarded as a top state for pediatric health outcomes. Much of our progress, however, is due to expansions in health insurance. Over the past five years, insurance rates for children have reached historic highs. In fact, the percentage of uninsured children in our area (Minnesota’s 2nd Congressional District) dropped from 7.2 percent in 2010 to 3.9 percent in 2015, according to the Minnesota Department of Human Services. Without access to insurance, many families defer or skip critically needed care, resulting in poorer health outcomes and higher costs that impact everyone. Under the proposed AHCA, as many as 16,836 neighbors in our district — many of whom are children — could see cuts to their Medicaid eligibility or benefits. These children rely on Medicaid for an array of medically necessary services so that health problems and developmental delays can be diagnosed and treated early or averted all together. Families with modest incomes above the poverty line would also be negatively impacted. That’s because the AHCA would eliminate federal funding for MinnesotaCare, a program for low-income families who don’t qualify for Medicaid. In our district, 9,268 people are enrolled in MinnesotaCare. Finally, families purchasing insurance on the individual market who are trying to keep up with astronomical premiums will no longer be able to receive subsidies based on their income, making insurance even more unaffordable. First, do no harm. We

can’t allow a new health ening the solvency of care bill to hurt children. Medicare and reopening the prescription donut Dr. MICHAEL hole, eliminating funding PARTINGTON for Planned Parenthood, Mendota Heights Medicaid cuts that harm the elderly, disabled, and children. I am not impressed by a plan that GOP health by all objective measures care plan makes things worse.

makes things worse

To the editor: Contrary to Richard Iffert’s claims in his March 16 reply to my letter to the editor of March 3, the Republican health care bill does nothing to lower costs. In fact, in 2018 it is estimated that on average premiums will increase 15-20 percent over expected costs with the Affordable Care Act while tax credit subsidies will decrease an average of 36 percent. The highest increases will be experienced by people 45-64 largely because insurers will again be able to charge the middle-aged five times higher premiums. There is also nothing in the GOP bill that guarantees a wider array of plans as Iffert claims. In fact, 14 million people losing coverage in 2018 alone along with the penalty for a gap in coverage that is a disincentive to healthy people to obtain coverage destabilizes the market causing more insurers to drop out. Couple that with drastic cuts to Medicaid hitting rural hospitals and clinics the hardest and the result is less choice. I find nothing to rejoice about in the health insurance plan that U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis and Mr. Iffert wholeheartedly support. Millions of people losing insurance coverage (38,416 in Lewis’ district), higher costs and less coverage for everybody else, eliminating substance abuse and mental health coverage, gutting the Center for Disease Control, short-

DEE RICHARDS Eagan

Wolves’ future in hands of politicians To the editor: Local residents can join me in an effort to defend and protect the wolf. I know I am not alone in this plea. A 2013 Lake Research poll found that 79 percent of Minnesotans agreed the wolf is an asset to protect for future generations, and a Minnesota Department of Natural Resources survey showed that 79 percent say no to wolf hunting. Unfortunately, this evidence is not enough to keep wolves protected. Sadly, there continues to be some politician support for wolf trophy hunting, by removing the wolf from federal protections under the Endangered Species Act. This is wrong, and Minnesota’s wolves need us to be their voice. Wolves are a unique and special part of Minnesota’s identity, and it hurts me deeply to know they will be subject to unnecessary hunting and cruel trapping and snaring methods. They are essential to a healthy ecosystem, and I feel very strongly that as Minnesotans, we should actively support keeping the wild protected in Minnesota. Why do wolves scare some people? What scares me is … what would our world be without them? TRICIA BROWN Eagan

Couple bitten by honeybee bug Burnsville ordinance will permit beekeeping on large lots by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

An electrical engineer by trade, Joseph Coffey came to beekeeping through scientific inquiry. Intrigued by colony collapse disorder, which has diminished global honeybee populations, and aware of pollination’s place in the food chain, Coffey decided to have a look for himself. He bought a hive nearly a decade ago and kept adding inventory each season. “I’d never seen a hive before, not up close,� said Coffey’s wife, Ellen. “But I wasn’t going to be left out.� The Burnsville couple have been thoroughly bitten by the honeybee bug and, James said, “stung so many times we don’t really pay attention to it anymore.� They maintained 75 colonies last year between their backyard, their farm in Pine County and oth-

er locations in Dakota and Scott counties. They launched a business, C&C Apiaries, that annually produces 80 to 120 pounds of honey per colony. Ellen is already a past president of the Minnesota Hobby Beekeepers Association and earned Midwest Master Beekeeping certification through the University of Nebraska. “And I’m also now working on a master’s degree in entomology,� said James, still an electrical engineer who looks forward to full-time beekeeping in retirement. The former North Carolinians, who have three children and nine grandchildren, live on a one-acre lot in semirural southwest Burnsville, where the City Council has decided beekeeping is OK. The council is expected to soon pass an ordinance allowing beekeeping on the area’s large lots, zoned R1A (one-family rural residential).

Council members agreed to the change this month as a clarification related to the city’s 2016 adoption of the International Property Maintenance Code. Though beekeeping has historically been outlawed by the city, Community Development Director Jenni Faulkner said she’s not aware of any complaints against the Coffeys. Nor are they. “Most of the neighbors have been very cordial about it,� James said, noting that the pollinating insects sometimes forage as much as 2.5 miles from the colonies to which they always return. “They’ve been very welcoming to have the bees. We had one neighbor a couple of years ago we took some honey down to. He said, ‘Oh, you have bees? We didn’t know that. I was wondering why all of a sudden we had so many blackberries, raspberries and apples.’ � The bees did wonders

made zucchini casserole, I gave it to the neighbors, I gave it to everybody that would take it,� she said. “And I still had zucchini to put in the freezer.� The couple have a website for selling their honey, but most of their business has been word-of-mouth, James said. “I sell a lot of honey at work,� he said. “And we have some people that buy in bulk.� With five colony sites last year, the business came into its own, James said. “Last year was kind of a tipping point for us,� he said. “Things were running at a loss there for awhile, but I think last year was a tipping point for us.� The Coffeys, who have competed in and judged State Fair competitions, have an arrangement with other property owners where some of their colonies are kept. “Basically, people want bees on their property because they understand the benefit — people we

know,� James said. “Typically, what we do for payment is we give them what we call a ‘yard-rent jug’ � — a refillable 5-pound container. The couple are now experimenting with a honeybee breed from Eastern Russia that has high resistance to varroa, a parasitic mite believed to be the single-largest contributor to the recent decline of honeybees. Their backyard beehives are like sweet music to the Coffeys. “I don’t know what it is about the bees, but I can have just a terrible day at the office, come home, open that box up and that all goes away,� James said. “I don’t know what it is about it. I guess it’s just the activity. The sound that they make is very relaxing.� Said Ellen, “You get a lawn chair and go sit in the bee yard and just listen to them.� Contact John Gessner at john.gessner@ecm-inc.com or 952-846-2031.

Ž‘‘† —‰ƒ” ‹ŽŽ •‡† ‹Â? Charges filed in theft from Vikings construction site Š‹Â?ƒ ˆ‘” ͜͡ ‡ƒ”• ‘‡• ‘Â? ƒŽ‡ ƒ–‹‘Â?™‹†‡ A Bloomington man has been charged with felony theft in Dakota County District Court last week for an alleged December theft of about $3,100 worth of wires and tools from the Minnesota Vikings facility construction site in Eagan. Stephen Richard Carey, 35 of Bloomington, faces a maximum penalty of five years in jail and a $10,000 for the charges. According to the criminal complaint, an Eagan police sergeant was on patrol near the future Minnesota Vikings training facility and observed an out-of-place vehicle with foggy windows parked in parking lot out of view from the roadway. When the sergeant approached the vehicle, the driver drove away abruptly. After driving a short distance away, Carey stopped and the sergeant asked Carey

what he was doing in the area. Carey said he was from Norwood Young America and was on his way to a friend’s house in Bloomington or Richfield. Eagan would have been out of his way. Carey was wearing white camouflage and he had cables, wire cutters and heavy gauge wiring inside the car. The vehicle was towed. The following day, an employee from the construction company working at the Vikings facility reported items had been stolen from the property including, copper pipes and scrap wiring. Following a search, Carey’s car was filled with scrap wire and copper tubing, along with a generator and concrete saw with the name of the site’s construction company on it, according to the criminal complaint.

Police probe report of man trying to lure teen into car Police in Apple Valley are investigating a suspicious incident in which a man allegedly tried to lure a teenage girl into his vehicle. The 16-year-old girl reported to police that she was walking her dog in the area of Pilot Knob Road and Upper 147th Street around 4 p.m. Friday, March 10, when a man in a black sedan began driving slowly near her. The man pulled into driveways close to where she was walking and made comments from his vehicle, including “What’s your dog’s name?� and “You can hop in the car,� the girl told police. The girl eventually fled the scene by running through yards to her home. She described the driver to police as a

black male with a mustache and beard, about 40 years old, and he spoke with an accent. His black sedan had tinted windows and a silver grill. Apple Valley police have sent out a request to nearby law enforcement agencies seeking information on possible similar cases in hopes of identifying the suspect. Currently, the encounter detailed in the report from the 16-year-old in Apple Valley appears to be an isolated incident. “We haven’t had similar incidents and it doesn’t fit a pattern, but it is concerning and we are actively investigating,� Apple Valley Police Capt. Nick Francis said. Anyone with information about the case can contact Apple Valley police at 952-953-2700.

Police: Thefts from vehicles on the rise Apple Valley police are reminding residents to keep their unattended cars locked after a spate of thefts from vehicles throughout the city. In the last month, 68 such thefts have been reported, police said. Most of the thefts were during overnight hours, and most were of cars left unlocked. Items reported stolen include electronics, CDs, backpacks and spare change. One day in particular saw an inordinate number of thefts from vehicles: On March 4, officers responded to over 20

reports. In a post on its Facebook page about the recent increase in theft reports, the Police Department noted: “Cars parked in driveways overnight and even vehicles parked in local parking lots have been hit throughout the city. “As the weather gets warmer and we approach spring break for our school district (March 25-April 2), remember to lock your vehicles and remove all valuables. Don’t become a victim of this preventable crime.�

Construction project at Highway 52, CR 42 starting in April by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Thousands of drivers will be disrupted this summer when one of the area’s most congested and perhaps dangerous intersections is reconstructed. The interchange at Highway 52 and County Road 42 will receive new turn lanes and a new bridge over the next few months. “You get a lot of speed differentials at the intersection,� said John Morast, Rosemount director of public works and city engineer. “It’s an inherently ISAIAH, from 1A 40,000 people in the 2nd District would no longer have health insurance under the new bill. They brought strips of paper with 20,000 human figures on them to represent that number. One woman said they would have brought more, but they didn’t have time. The group told the stories of people who didn’t have health insurance prior to the enactment of ACA, saying the law helped save lives. “People of faith have a divine call to care for and protect people,� ISAIAH said in a press release. “This new plan is a direct violation of this call as the AHCA proposes to divest from social safety nets, like Medicare, created to protect and care for ‘the least of these’ and most vulnerable in community – babies, elderly, poor, and disabled – and

dangerous intersection the way it’s designed. Vehicles are coming in at different speeds off the ramps.� The ramps will be reconstructed starting April 3 to include dedicated turn lanes, and County Road 42 will be expanded to four lanes to east of Conley Avenue. The Highway 52 bridge over County Road 42 will be replaced during the process. About 20,000 motorists use the intersection to go north or south per day, according to Morast. The project is scheduled to be completed by November.

“The county, MnDOT and the city collectively worked hard on directing the phasing to make this a single construction season,� Morast said. “It will be difficult in the full closure crossing (County Road 42). Doing something this significant in a single construction system, it’s going to be hard for a while but it will be over sooner.� Construction workers are getting an earlier start due to the weather. More information will be available during at open house from 4:30-6:30 p.m. March 27 at

the Rosemount Community Center, 13885 South Robert Trail. Construction workers are starting with the ramps first to provide access while they compete the bridge replacement. During construction, traveling under Highway 52 will be closed. The ramps will be still be accessible. As an example, eastbound vehicles on County Road 42 will still be able to go south on Highway 52, but wouldn’t be able to go under Highway 52 to go north. “Essentially, you can’t take a left when you get off the freeway,� Morast said.

reinvest the funds into the pockets of the wealthy. Several reports have been released describing the devastation on those who would be impacted by this new bill. Faith leaders pray that Congressman Lewis will have the strength and moral courage to make the right decisions for his constituents.� In addition to prayer, the group sang several songs during the presentation in Lewis’ office. The staff member said she would pass along the information and notes from the meeting to Lewis. She allowed the group to complete its entire presentation, which lasted more than an hour. “Will this change his mind?� ISAIAH staff member Alexa Horwart said. “I don’t know.� The AHCA would replace the ACA, which was passed while President Barack Obama was in office to require people to have health insurance or pay a penalty.

The law created individual insurance exchanges throughout the country that were administered by states or the federal government. It also expanded Medicare to include more people under its coverage. Lewis wrote in a March 10 editorial that the AHCA would ensure choice, portability and a safety net. He said the bill would eliminate expensive mandates and allow “consumers to choose the insurance that works best for them.� Lewis said the GOP plan would “offer a refundable tax credit that anyone can use to buy the plan that’s right for them anywhere in the country — and not just on a government exchange. As folks grow older, the tax credit increases, allowing the plan of their choice to travel with them from job to job or in retirement. Not only that, but our plan seeks

to increase tax-deferred Health Savings Accounts to help cover deductibles and even over-thecounter items, further leveling the playing field.� He said the plan protects patients with pre-existing conditions and maintains the ability of dependents up to age 26 to stay on their parents’ insurance. “At the same time, it removes price controls from the market, allowing the young and healthy to once again afford insurance,� he said. “Further, to help each state find the right solutions, our plan offers states innovation funds so that they can better meet their distinct health care needs.� He said the plan also seeks to modernize Medicaid for ablebodied adults while ensuring access for the most vulnerable.

The episodes will be filmed at the 39th annual International Polka Fest May 19-21 at Grand Casino Hinckley. The TV incarnation of “Funtime Polka Party� is scheduled to begin airing in the fall. The festival — which Chmielewski and Bell are hosting and producing — will include a 90th birthday celebration for Florian Chmielewski, who has been playing accordion for 72 years and whose autobiography, “090,� will be released at the event. Bell, who until about four years ago worked in retail management, said he got involved in the polka scene through Patty. In addition to their radio show and concert events, they also organize motorcoach tours to Branson, Missouri, and other destinations. “We’re able to work together, which is what we wanted to do,� he said. “We just like to entertain people and see the smiles on their faces. There is never a fight at a polka dance — it’s happy music.� “Polka to us is fun,� Patty added, “and we want the generations to pass it down.�

Sports Eagles look to return to winning ways at Target Center Basketball team playing at state for 3rd consecutive year by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Few high school basketball teams have had as much success at Target Center as the Apple Valley boys. But the last time the Eagles were there it didn’t go well, to put it mildly. Seeking a third Class 4A championship in four years and boasting a starting lineup with three future Division I college players and one future Division II player, the Eagles braced for a showdown with Hopkins in the state semifinals. After going to halftime trailing by one point, they collapsed in the second half and lost 84-60. Two days later, Apple Valley beat Osseo in the third-place game at Concordia University, but in guard Tre Jones’ mind, the season died the night of the semifinals at Target Center. He said that memory is one of the things that spurred him through a monster 2016-17 season, one that brings the Eagles back to the state tourney. “There’s only one team that can win it all,” Jones said following Tuesday’s Apple Valley practice. “Everyone else loses, and we were one of the teams that ended on a loss. We believed we could win the state tournament. Not being able to compete in the biggest game of the year (the state final), that hurt a lot.” Winners of the Class

Senior guard Mohamed Kone, a junior varsity player last year, has emerged as a defensive stopper for Apple Valley this season. 4A championship in 2013 and 2015, the Eagles (272) took another shot Wednesday when they played Cretin-Derham Hall (21-8) in a quarterfinal game that took place after the Sun Thisweek print edition deadline. The winner plays Maple Grove (27-2) or Andover (11-18) in the semifinals at 8 p.m. Thursday. Apple Valley coach Zach Goring downplayed the redemption angle, noting that only Jones and Luke Martens played significant minutes in last year’s loss to Hopkins. “We haven’t really talked about last year because it’s such a different group,” Goring said. “Hopefully it’s not in their minds when

we’re out there (Wednesday). I’m confident these guys are going to play really well. I’m excited to be back.” For the Eagles, winning this year’s championship might be difficult enough without dwelling on the past. The five seeded teams in the Class 4A field are a combined 136-9. The path to the state title might require the Eagles to beat the two teams (Champlin Park and Maple Grove) that beat them during the regular season. If Apple Valley gets past Cretin-Derham Hall – a team it defeated 71-59 on Dec. 13 – up next could be Maple Grove, which beat the Eagles 103-87 during a holiday tournament in

late December. Champlin Park, 29-0 and the No. 1 seed, is in the other half of the state bracket. The Rebels defeated Apple Valley 91-84 in a neutralsite game Dec. 10. Future University of Minnesota player Daniel Oturu, a 6-foot-9 junior center, leads Cretin-Derham Hall. “He’s a great big kid, averaging 19 points, 16 rebounds and six blocks a game,” Goring said. “We’ll see him at the back end of anything we’re trying to do toward the basket. They also have a really good point guard in Ryan Larson who leads their club. Then they have a lot of athletes and some shooters on the perimeter.” The Eagles average almost 80 points a game, but their state tournament chances likely will depend on their defense. After the Maple Grove loss in December, they put even more effort toward improving their defense. Even a team with Apple Valley’s firepower could have trouble winning if it needs 104 points. “At the beginning of the season, our defense was struggling,” said senior guard Mohamed Kone. “Ever since we lost those two games, we’ve been focusing on defense. Most of the time in practice we’ve been working on defense. “I knew I couldn’t score as much or always make the big play (on offense), but if I played defense and focused on it, I could make plays on that end and help us get the stops we needed.” Defense was critical to

Apple Valley’s 72-60 victory over Rosemount in the Class 4A, Section 3 championship game March 16. The teams were tied 3636 at halftime, but Apple Valley scored nine of the first 11 points of the second half. The Eagles held Rosemount (15-14) to 24 points after halftime. “In the first half, you have to credit Rosemount for playing so well,” Goring said. “We contested them quite a bit harder in the second half and forced them to take tougher shots.” “The point guard from Rosemount, Myka Edmond, is really good and Mohamed did a great job on him,” Jones said. “Luke and Spencer (Rolland) did a phenomenal job on the Loehr twins (Luke and Alec). As a group, we really locked in. We knew defense was what would win the game.” This Apple Valley group might not have the star power of past Eagles teams – except for Jones, who this week was named Gatorade Minnesota Player of the Year. He has six triple-doubles this season and averages 23 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds. The junior will have his choice of scholarship offers from many of the top Division I college programs in the nation. “Tre’s game has gone through the roof,” Goring said. “The scoring opened up a lot with J.R. (Gary Trent Jr., Apple Valley’s leading scorer last season) transferring. Tre has been so dominant offensively and defensively. The kids are a close group, and Tre does such a good job

of putting them in spots where they can be successful, finding shooters and getting it to bigs where they can finish.” Martens, who was slowed earlier this year by a lingering ankle injury from football season, averages about 12 points a game while taking on a tough defensive assignment. “We’re asking a lot from him,” Goring said. Forwards Rolland, Mason Morse and Zach Korba also are part of the Eagles’ rotation along with guards Nathan Macho and Ely Hendrickson. Kone, Morse and forward Kevin Totusek are the only seniors on a team that has 14 juniors. People who expected the Eagles to take a step back this year might have underestimated the junior class’ talent, Martens said. “I feel there were a lot of people counting us out this season with us losing a lot of good seniors and Gary transferring out, but we knew the whole time we had a good chance at making it back to state,” Martens said. “This junior class is so good. Honestly, there’s not much of a drop-off talent-wise. We can all shoot the ball and we trust each other.” The Eagle juniors assembled an impressive resume during youth basketball, with one hole they hope to fill this week. “We got second in state three years,” Martens said, “and that’s always been in the back of our minds.” Contact Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

Eastview girls earn another top-4 finish Lightning gains a measure of revenge against Lakeville North by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Although the outcome wasn’t the one Eastview sought, the Lightning did maintain its unique streak at the state high school girls basketball tournament. Eastview defeated Lakeville North 68-49 in the Class 4A third-place game Saturday at Concordia University for its sixth consecutive top-four finish at state. No other team in the largest enrollment class has a streak that long. It includes a Class 4A championship in 2014, second place in 2015 and three third-place finishes. “That’s a pretty good streak,” coach Molly Kasper said. “Hopkins hasn’t done that. Neither have Lakeville North or St. Michael(-Albertville). It says a lot about the talent that’s come through this program and how hard the girls have worked.” Eastview finished 25-7 after beating Lakeville North for the first time in three tries this season. The Lightning lost to Hopkins 64-59 in the semifinals March 16 at Williams Arena after a spirited comeback in the second half didn’t quite get there. The players still found plenty of incentive for the third-place game. “Third place is never the game you want to be in,” Kasper said. “But it was Lakeville North, a big rival of ours. And you want to give your kids a chance to go out with a win. It’s the last time those 18 kids get to play together.” Lightning guard Allie Pickrain made a threepointer with 9 minutes, 25 seconds left in the first half, giving her team a 1716 lead. Eastview never trailed again. Eastview led 34-30 at

Lakeville North (28-4) was never closer than nine points after that. The victory in the third-place game provided a measure of satisfaction for the Lightning, which lost twice to South Suburban Conference champion Lakeville North during the regular season. The second loss was particularly galling for Eastview, which took a 16-point lead in the second half on North’s home court, only to watch the Panthers come back and win the game in overtime. On Saturday, “I thought we played with a lot of heart and tenacity,” Kasper said. “That game definitely meant something to our girls.” Senior guard Rachel Ranke, who will play at Kansas State next season,

had 21 points and 11 rebounds in the third-place game. Senior guard Allie Pickrain, headed for Winona State, had 16 points and six assists. Junior forward Megan Walstad, who figures to be a cornerstone player on next year’s Eastview team, had 15 points and 11 rebounds against Lakeville North. Hopkins, which finished 31-1, had only three games that were decided by fewer than 10 points – its 64-60 loss to unbeaten Elk River in the Class 4A championship game and its two victories over Eastview. The first time the teams met, at the St. Olaf Holiday Classic, Hopkins won 65-60 in overtime. The Royals looked ready to breeze to victory in the rematch last week in the state semifinals. They led by 17 points with less than 12 minutes remaining, but Eastview chipped away.

“We’ve had games where we had runs of 22-1 and 12-0, so we never lost faith,” Kasper said. “We thought if we could get some stops we could get back in the game, and we did.” Ranke made a threepointer with 52 seconds left, cutting Hopkins’ lead to 60-57, then three seconds later regained possession on a Royals’ turnover. But a jump ball call, followed by an Eastview turnover, prevented the Lightning from taking a shot with a chance to tie the game. Ranke had 19 points, Pickrain 15 and Walstad 10 for Eastview. Paige Bueckers, Hopkins’ ninthgrade point guard sensation, scored 31 points on 12-for-16 shooting. Contact Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

Dakota United and Burnsville/Farmington/ Lakeville teams came away with consolation trophies at last weekend’s state adapted floor hockey tournament. Dakota United, the defending state PI Division champion, defeated Maple Grove 7-1 in the fifth-place game Saturday at Bloomington Jefferson High School. Burnsville/ Fa r m i n g t o n / L a kev i l l e beat Wayzata/Minnetonka 10-2 for the consolation title in the CI Division. In the PI Division opening round Friday night, Dakota United (106-1) ran into longtime rival Robbinsdale/Hopkins/ Mound Westonka and lost 5-4 in double overtime. The Robins’ Andy Hanson scored his second goal of the game at 7 minutes, 43 seconds of the second overtime. Senior forward Kyra Patterson had a hand in all of Dakota United’s goals, scoring three and assisting on the other. Hawks goalie Jonathan Lyons made 23

saves. Lyons earned a shutout in the Hawks’ 9-0 victory over Mounds View/Irondale/Roseville in the consolation semifinals. Junior forward Riley Wisniewski had four goals and two assists, and freshman Blake Jackson scored a hat trick. Jackson had another hat trick in the consolation final against Maple Grove. Wisniewski scored twice and had two assists. Patterson earned a place on the all-tournament team. Burnsville/Farmington/ Lakeville also won a onesided consolation championship game as eighthgrader Natalya Rawley scored six goals against Wayzata/Minnetonka. She also had one assist. Senior forward Cobi Vettrus added two goals and two assists for the Blazing Cats, and goalie Matt Luetkemeyer made 32 saves. Luetkemeyer had 20 saves in a 9-0 loss to St. Cloud in the first round of the state tourney. The Blazing Cats’ goalie stopped all 24 shots he faced in his team’s 9-0 consolation semifinal victory over New Prague/Tri-City United/Le Sueur-Henderson/Belle Plaine/Jordan. Rawley scored five goals in the consolation semifinal.

SUN THISWEEK - Apple Valley March 24, 2017 13A

Beyond the Yellow Ribbon celebrates five years The Apple Valley Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Network recorded its highest attendance to date during the March 16 Military Appreciation Dinner with more than 170 active military, veterans and their families attending at the Apple Valley American Legion Post 1776. The 15th monthly dinner celebrated the organization’s fifth anniversary since chartering March 30, 2012. Guest speaker was Mayor Mary HamannRoland. “We are here to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the Apple Valley Beyond the Yellow Ribbon organization. As mayor, I am so proud of the Beyond the Yellow group and all they have accomplished,� she said. “Apple Valley has a long history of helping

neighbors and that’s exactly what the Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Network is all about. They are united to help bring service members ‘all the way home.’ � She ran through a list of services the organization has provided to service members, veterans and their families: funds for food, gas, rent and car repairs, home repairs, painting, yard work, snow removal, home cleaning and much more. Hamann-Roland said the city of Apple Valley has been a proud supporter of Beyond the Yellow Ribbon since its inception. The Apple Valley Police Department has been active with the organization. Special thanks were offered to those in attendance for their service and dedication to our country. President Paul Chellsen, a charter mem-

TRANSIT, from 1A during a Monday phone interview. “I think it’s disappointing that an effort that came together as a regional effort with the full and active participation of all involved to face the difficult task of solving the transportation challenges of the metro area is going away because of Dakota County,� he said. “There is some irony in this that the county that wanted to leave wants to keep it together.� Dakota County officials said in June 2016 that they wanted to leave CTIB by 2018 because the county was putting more money into CTIB projects than the dollar value of the projects being built in the county. Dakota County says the CTIB dissolution proposal does the same thing as it returns 55 percent of the county’s investment while the average return for other member counties is 91 percent. By receiving $29.1 million, Dakota County says that represents 67 percent of its investment in CTIB — still far short

in its eyes. “That is a substantial concession,� Egan said. The county also notes that if its requested amount were accepted, another $40 million of Dakota County’s previous contributions could still be used in CTIB projects. That money is an acknowledgment that Dakota County residents use mass transit like the Hiawatha Light Rail line in Hennepin County. “That goes a long way to resolving that issue,� Egan said. Egan said Dakota County’s proposal wasn’t visited during the March 15 CTIB meeting despite Dakota County sending a letter to the board to ask it to consider its request. After a resolution was approved last year allowing Dakota County’s exit from CTIB by 2018, the other member counties proposed dissolving CTIB this month. The catch is that all member counties have to approve it. McLaughlin says that if Dakota County successfully blocks the dissolution, it would mean Dakota County would have to pay $52 million into CTIB

With support from the Apple Valley American Legion Post 1776, Tappainer, the Apple Place Bowl/Bogart’s Place and Apple Valley Von Hanson’s Meats, the Yellow Ribbon group has been able to hold monthly Military Appreciation Dinners. At the fifth anniversary dinner, local florist Flowerama provided yellow roses for all the women and there was a drawing for more than 65 prizes with a special engraved money clip from Jay F. Jeweler. The group received generous support from local merchants. Boy Scout Troop 293 presented the colors and led the Pledge of Allegiance. They also were on hand to serve beverages to the guests. Requests for assistance continue to come in and

through 2018, since the other member counties couldn’t dissolve the board until Dakota County left. Egan called the $52 million figure “grim news.� “You can’t ignore that fact,� Egan said. “That concerns me. I know that principle means a lot, and constituents have told me, ‘Don’t let Hennepin County run roughshod all over you.’� Either way, Dakota County is leaving a disproportionate amount money on the table for projects outside its area, according to Egan. The issue comes down to “Geographic Equity,� one of the guiding principles in CTIB’s bylaws. It says, “The Board shall endeavor to award grants to promote geographic equity over time with respect to investments in transitways to implement the counties’ regional vision.� Egan contends the balance has not been there. McLaughlin said at the outset of the formation of CTIB there was an explicit conversation about whether counties should get back what they put in

dollar for dollar. “We rejected that,� McLaughlin said. “The whole mindset of Dakota County that everyone gets back what they put back in, that was not the mindset when CTIB was formed.� “Geographic Equity� uses the phrase “shall endeavor,� which is left up to interpretation. McLaughlin said Dakota County is also not taking into account the $36 million it will have received from 2008-2017 in leased vehicles sales tax money, which he says was built in as an offset when CTIB was formed. “They are looking backward and not forward,� McLaughlin said. “They want to second guess the decisions they made.� Egan said most of Dakota County’s contributions to CTIB through 2017 would go to the Southwest Light Rail Line from Minneapolis to the western suburbs, Bottineau Light Rail Line from Minneapolis to Brooklyn Park, the Riverview Light Rail Line from Union Depot in St. Paul to the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport and the Gold Line Bus Rapid Transit from St. Paul

to Woodbury. Dakota County will see a fraction of spending for planning of the Orange Line BRT from Minneapolis to Burnsville and some Red Line BRT operational costs. The main goal of the process, according to Egan, will be for all the counties to stop using the CTIB tax and implement the Greater Minnesota tax, which would allow each member county to levy its own tax to use on projects in its own borders. The current CTIB sales tax of 25 cents for every $100 purchase would be able to be increased to 50 cents for current CTIB counties. It has been projected that if Hennepin and Ramsey counties were able to increase the tax, it could make up for gaps in funding for SWLRT and other projects. Egan says Dakota County has $500 million in unmet transportation needs. The Greater Minnesota tax would be able to raise $166 million over the next 10 years.
