PUBLIC NOTICE Sun Thisweek Apple Valley is an official newspaper of the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District. Page 10A
After prospects for 2 percent increases in the basic education funding formula seemed dim, the Rosemount-Apple ValleyEagan School District developed its 2017-18 pre-
liminary budget assuming districts would receive 1 percent increases in the next biennium. The state Legislature went overtime in its work in May, but it resulted in formula increases of 2 percent for the 2017-18 and 2018-19 school years.
That means District 196 will have an additional $1.9 million in revenue to incorporate into the budget â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a preliminary version of which will be considered for approval Monday by the School Board. A final version is due after enrollment
counts are released in October. The $1.9 million represents less than 1 percent of total revenues expected in 2017-18 ($437.4 million), but every dollar counts as the budget shows the district covering a general fund shortfall of $5.3 mil-
lion with its general fund balance of $29.22 million. Jeff Solomon, the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of business services, said during the June 12 School Board meeting that the district wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to make signifiSee BUDGET, 10A

Painter Olga Krasovska, this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s featured artist for the Eagan Art Festival, has an imagination that needed a new medium. Krasovska is a veteran of the Eagan Art Festival. She estimated this will probably be her 10th time appearing at the event. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s known for her realistic art paintings, but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;radically changed her style,â&#x20AC;? said Wanda Borman, Eagan Art Festival executive director. Her recent work fits well with the this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme of imagination. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People know me by the realistic paintings I do of old-world, European scenes and retro-style female figures that represents my European arc of life,â&#x20AC;? Krasovska said. She has painted on cotton fabric with ink, waterSee ARTIST, 10A

Olga Krasovska is this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s featured artist for the Eagan Art Festival this weekend at Central Park.
Everyone uses their imagination in daily life whether theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a software engineer or an artist, said Wanda Borman, Eagan Art Festival executive director. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all use our imagination for problem solving for every day tasks at work and at home,â&#x20AC;? Borman said. She hopes attendees for this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eagan Art Festival reflect on their own imagination from 9 a.m. -5 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday at Central Park, 1501 Central Parkway. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival focuses on imagination. It will feature a artists who use a variety of media such as paint, watercolor, metal, photography, jewelry, clay, quilts, thread, wood, glass, words and music to unleash their imagination. Artists will have the opportunity to add an â&#x20AC;&#x153;ask me about my processâ&#x20AC;? sticker to their booth sign to have a conversation
with visitors about how they create their work and what inspires them. The questions are meant for the musicians as well. All of the scheduled musicians write 70 percent or more of the music they will be playing. The schedule includes: Saturday: Jack & Kitty, childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music, 10 a.m.; Steve Clarke and the Working Stiffs, jazz/swing, noon; Greg Herriges, world music, 2:45 p.m.; and Sunday: Riverside Swing Band, 11 a.m.; Paul Imholte, string instruments, 1 p.m.; and Lehto and Wright, folk, 3 p.m. Jack & Kitty are an Emmy-winning duo who â&#x20AC;&#x153;engage the kids with dancing,â&#x20AC;? Borman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun to watch,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We try to have a variety of music to hopefully appeal to a variety of tastes.

Eastview teacher releases new novel Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the second in the Elementals young adult reader trilogy Apple Valley resident Debbie Kump was in the middle of a home painting project a few years ago when the idea for a book series entered her mind like a wildfire. The chore chit-chat spun in an inspirational direction when her husband suggested a world where a character could perish in fire, but be reborn in another time and place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember I was in the middle of painting the front door of our house when he told me: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It would be hard to know how long youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lived when you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember how many times youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve died.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mind instantly

Burnsville students get public library cards Similar program planned for Apple Valley High School by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
On May 22, Burnsville High School students in grades nine through 11 were automatically issued public library cards. Just in time for the summer reading season, 1,900 new card-holders have full
access to the print and digital offerings of the Dakota and Scott county libraries. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of a nationwide effort to connect schoolkids with learning resources. In 2013, the U.S. Department of Education unveiled ConnectED, a
program to connect all K-12 students with broadband services. The Institute of Museum and Library Services took up the challenge, aiming to give public library cards to all schoolkids. Such programs already exist in St. Paul, Ramsey County and Hennepin
County. Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District 191 joined with the Dakota and Scott county libraries to bring a program here. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I actually think the resources at a public library are some of the best-kept secrets from students that exist,â&#x20AC;? District 191 School

Gearing up for Pride in Farmington Two students share their LGBTQ experiences by Maren Bauer SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
With the excitement of Dew Days now passed, some Farmington residents look forward to a new parade taking place in Minneapolis this coming weekend. Sarah Skoda, a recent graduate of Farmington High School, loves music and practicing leadership skills with her fellow peers. She looks forward to celebrating MN Pride with her girlfriend. As one of the leaders for the Gay Straight Alliance, Skoda said that this past year has been one of the best. She was able to attend prom with her girlfriend among compliments and well-wishers. It hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always been that easy in Farmington. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coming out in Farmington had its ups and downs,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I came out in eighth grade to some people and then more publicly in ninth grade. It definitely took a toll on my mental health; I got really depressed and started self-harming. I just hated feeling so different from everyone else. I wanted to be normal, not even so much for me but for my family, especially my younger brothers, and my friends. I knew it would affect people around me and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to hurt anyone.â&#x20AC;? While suicide is the second leading cause

things very bluntly because we believe that there is no point in really sugar coating things most of the time because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to help them,â&#x20AC;? Skoda said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We told them that: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Yes, there is pretty much always going to be someone that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like you but how you respond to the prejudice will make or break you.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? Forming a group was a natural outlet for Skoda, who was involved in marching band; Peers 4 Peers; Youth Teaching Youth; speech; Girl Scouts; Family, Career and Community Leaders of America, and more. She said going to the Pride festival felt especially important to her because she felt like she was â&#x20AC;&#x153;finally in a place where there was no judgment, no dirty looks, no one expecting you to be anything other than who you truly are.â&#x20AC;? Jaxon Blake Laube, an incoming seventh-grader at Boeckman Middle School, looks forward to attending Pride for the first time with his mom, Alison Laube. Laube, a social studies teacher at Farmington High School, leads the GSA group, which meets regularly talk about topics, watch movies, play games, do crafts or listen to speakers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a time to connect and have a safe place to be,â&#x20AC;? Jaxon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If some-
one is being bullied, they make a plan on how to address it.â&#x20AC;? Jaxon, born Elisabeth (Ellie), knew that he wanted to be a boy since the age of 3. He said every prayer and wish went toward wanting to be a boy. He started wearing boy clothes at a young age, and cutting his hair shorter and shorter. The summer before sixth grade, he learned the meaning of transgender and is spending this summer fully transitioning to his new identity. Jaxon is especially grateful to Farmington for being so supportive. He said the schools, the community, his church, and the sports community have all been supportive in his journey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I gradually came out to my friends and family, and eventually the whole school,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of students now come to me for help if they are struggling with their gender identity or sexual orientation.â&#x20AC;? Transgender issues have recently gained more media attention with public figures like Laverne Cox and former Olympic athlete Caitlyn Jenner speaking out against bathroom bans and legal rights. While those who identify as transgender in America comprise about 0.3 percent of the population, 20 to 40 percent of those who are homeless identify as transgender because they are often rejected by their

families. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Too often we look over how difficult it can be for parents to accept that their child is gay or transgender,â&#x20AC;? Skoda said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just want them to know that everything will be OK and that love will overpower everything else in this world.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would like people to know that being LGBTQ+ is really hard, so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it harder by teasing them, because they might be going through things that you probably donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand,â&#x20AC;? Jaxon said. The two-day Pride event features a festival in Loring Park and a parade down Hennepin Avenue. More about the festival is at https://www.tcpride. org/event/2017-twin-cities-pride-festival.

Teeing it up for scholarships The Louis Schmitz Golf Tournament held its sixth annual event, honoring the late Louis Schmitz and contributing scholarships to deserving students and sports teams. The event featured droves of eager golfers and prospective college students ready to change the world. Schmitz was known as someone who could get things done to help kids in need said his son Randy Schmitz during the event as Jean Schmitz, wife of the late Louis, looked on (above). He said Louis would ask the kid sitting on the sidelines if he wanted to play, and if the kid said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any equipment,â&#x20AC;? Louis would do all that was in his power to get the equipment. Schmitz had nine children, ran the Farmington football program, set up outdoor ice rinks, and helped with the girls softball team.

Art Works Eagan in a tough spot Nonprofit doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have financing in place to purchase old fire administration building by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Art Works Eagan organization is at a crossroads of its relatively short history, and it could go in many directions. The nonprofit organization was created about a year and a half ago with a mission to enhance the local arts community. Founders envisioned a hub that would include studio space, a gallery, a shop, a performance space and workshops for area artists. They have eyed a purchase of the old Eagan fire administration building at 3795 Pilot Knob Road, which has been vacant for several years, but their dream has become a bit cloudy. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough cash in hand to buy the building, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re worried they could lose out on the location. Jerri Neddermeyer, president and co founder, said the price of $500,000 is reasonable, but for a brand new organization, it â&#x20AC;&#x153;may as well have been a million.â&#x20AC;? The deadline for a decision to purchase the building is in July. Through various fundraisers and other donations, including a pledge from Eagan Rotary, Art Works Eagan has about $100,000 and another $150,000 in ongoing support over the next five years, Neddermeyer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we had that ($150,000) up front, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be ready to go,â&#x20AC;? Neddermeyer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a way to turn that into money. â&#x20AC;Ś If we could get all five years of support up front, we would be sustainable forever.â&#x20AC;? If they get a community or low interest loan that would move that fiveyear pledge up front, they could make it work, Neddermeyer said. Neddermeyer also said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re potentially seeking reconsideration for the contract deed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can feel frustrated because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so close, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not where we need to be,â&#x20AC;? Neddermeyer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m impressed with what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to do in this short time.â&#x20AC;? One thing that could preserve their plan is to find â&#x20AC;&#x153;people in the community interested in taking advantage of their own liquidity to invest in something that would be a tremendous asset to the community by turning our $150,000 five-year pledge into an up-front asset
for us,â&#x20AC;? Neddermeyer said. She said a traditional bank canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help because Art Works is such a young organization. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know the culture we want to create and we want this to be for the community as a whole,â&#x20AC;? Neddermeyer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But what thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to look like and when â&#x20AC;Ś a lot can happen in two weeks.â&#x20AC;? She admits there is a possibility the fire administration building isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Art Worksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; future home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pursuing it with gusto,â&#x20AC;? Neddermeyer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s everything we want to be and well within what we think we can afford.â&#x20AC;? The building is in the core of Eagan next to other community assets such as the Eagan Art House, Caponi Art Park, athletic fields, historic town hall, Civic Center, City Hall, and Wescott Library. But if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not this building, Art Works Eagan will still exist and work to find another place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a rental,â&#x20AC;? Neddermeyer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a church that needs a co-habitant. One of the other (vacant) fire houses is a partial solution. Maybe we build a place. I just know the next step would be more expensive and the location is maybe less optimal.â&#x20AC;? What she does know is the passion for this project is not going away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are things that keep this community connected to each other,â&#x20AC;? Neddermeyer said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of things that can make that happen: sports, parks, childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programing. Arts is another.â&#x20AC;? She said thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a need to have a place to work and a stage for artists to â&#x20AC;&#x153;shine their light on who they are,â&#x20AC;? Neddermeyer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Art shows perspective and it exposes people to perspectives,â&#x20AC;? Neddermeyer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for people to feel connected and to be next to people who are not like themselves, to be open to the needs and desires of their neighbors.â&#x20AC;? She recognizes Eaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community is changing. She said thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an increased number of aging individuals along with more people whose first language is something other than English. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s income disparity. There are pockets of Eagan that are separated,â&#x20AC;? Neddermeyer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The things that bring us together across those divides are the things that keep us loving our neighbors.â&#x20AC;?

Opinion Counterpoint: Governor’s inability to negotiate in good faith leads to Capitol chaos by Kathy Lohmer SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Guest Columnist
I’d like the opportunity to respond to the recent ECM Editorial and correct some misinformation regarding the conclusion of the 2017 legislative session – most specifically Gov. Mark Dayton’s decision to eliminate funding for the Minnesota Legislature. Let’s be clear. The only reason we are in this position is because Dayton once again did not want to negotiate in good faith with the Legislature. Last year, Dayton said he would approve a tax relief proposal if the Legislature agreed to some of his proposals. After lawmakers did that, he went back on his word and vetoed the plan. This year, he once again indicated he would support a tax relief proposal. Then Dayton said he would have vetoed the tax relief proposal had the Revenue Departments’ funding not been contingent upon its enactment. Does this sound like someone who negotiates in good faith?
To avoid the usual last-minute negotiating headaches, this year the Legislature set historically early deadlines and approved not one, but two rounds of budget bills. The governor did not engage in compromise discussions during the first round – approved a month before session ended – and only began to take an interest as the final days approached. The editorial attempts to portray legislative leaders as some stealth, covert operation that blindsided the governor’s office with the revenue department funding language. The reality is this: Dayton – not to mention his commissioners – negotiated these budget bill compromises from start to finish. They either knew the provision was there and didn’t think it was worth haggling over, or they were inept when it came to proofreading the
final proposals before giving them their blessing. The bill was also posted for 39 hours before it received any legislative debate. Yet the governor’s office said nothing – before, during, or after negotiations had concluded – until the proposal arrived at his desk for his signature. With that in mind, if the editorial board truly believes that the “governor’s staff haven’t had time to read, let alone understand” these budget bills, doesn’t that suggest embarrassing incompetence by the Dayton team? So now Dayton has created a situation where he wants the Legislature to return in a special session to undo compromise agreements to which he and his staff agreed, and signed into law, because he no longer likes the agreements and wants a better deal for himself. Remember, the budget is set and our work is done, but the governor has decided to eliminate all funding for the Legislature for the next two years because he is no longer OK with the budget deal he negotiated and enacted.
Again I ask, does this sound like someone who negotiates in good faith? To be clear, I don’t expect the ECM Editorial Board to have all the details on the happenings of state government. In this instance, Dayton has attempted to portray himself as a victim even though he and his staff were involved in every step of the process, and this editorial somewhat agreed. Dayton is not the victim; he is the sole cause of this Capitol chaos because he’s refusing to live up to the compromise agreements he personally negotiated and signed. While this is clearly problematic for state lawmakers, these actions by our chief executive should be most worrisome for Minnesotans. State Rep. Kathy Lohmer, R-Stillwater, represents Minnesota House District 39B, which includes communities in Washington County.

Letters Who will pay for what’s changing?
Rep. Jason Lewis and all the state senators, state representatives, and county commissioners from Dakota County. Our panel included a senior executive from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota, two medical providers including one from the VA and one past president of the Minnesota Medical Association, and two policy makers. The positions of the two policy makers were well known. The positions stated were those of the speakers, not LWV. We made every effort to include diverse perspectives. When elected officials decline to meet with their constituents, the criticism perhaps is better directed at them rather than the organization working to meet the public’s desire for information. The League will continue to host community forums and will continue to invite all elected officials to participate. The June 1 forum drew nearly 250 people and the two-hour format did not allow us to get to the more than 100 questions posed from the audience. Unfortunately, that meant many audience questions were left unanswered. The sheer volume of questions speaks to citizen concerns on this topic. The large turnout and engaged audience is evidence that forums, such as these, need to happen in our communities. People want information about health care policy. What also needs to happen is that the elected officials need to be present so their constituents’ voices are heard. Discourse about our democracy, inclusive of all perspectives, is at the heart of LWV and we encourage anyone with that shared interest to join.

Letters to the editor policy
Title IX guidelines provide colleges with some compliance flexibility: “Compliant institutions must fully and effectively accommodate the interests and abilities of the underrepresented sex” and “female and male student-athletes must receive athletics scholarship dollars proportional to their sports participation rate” — not their college enrollment rate. Anderson directs virtually all his attention to the spending side of sports dollars and little to the revenue side — we can’t spend dollars until we have them. He wrote, “yes, you can argue that male sports are driving revenue, but to gain true balance those opportunities must equalize.” That’s an extraordinary statement. So how would Anderson achieve this parity — would he support fewer dollars overall going into college coffers to achieve it? His only idea was to suggest women athletes go on strike. We still live in a society that generally rewards performers based on how much fans are willing to pay to watch their performances. To some, this seems unfair, but what are the alternatives. All fair-minded people celebrate the extraordinary progress women have made in sports participation over the past 40 years and hope that women can move even closer to parity with men. I would suggest Anderson use his megaphone to achieve this goal by educating his readers on all the trade-offs to sports scholarship gender equity and by motivating more paying fans to support women’s sports — that would be a win-win.

There is bipartisan climate action
Lewis, to join them. I’m also thankful for the Citizens Climate Lobby which played a big role in getting this group started. CCL is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization with chapters in nearly every congressional district in the country. Its volunteer members work tirelessly to promote Carbon Fee and Dividend, a market-based, economically sound plan for transitioning to clean energy. The world’s best scientists say we’re swiftly running out of time to slow the deadly effects of climate change. We all know that Mother Nature is steadfastly nonpartisan. Even the big money players trying to stall congressional action will lose their beach homes as the oceans rise. Press on Climate Solutions Caucus and CCL! I’m behind you all the way.

Shine a light on the Republicans’ health care bill To the editor: U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis refuses to hold any public meetings in the 2nd District, so I reached out to him directly regarding the “repeal and replace” American Health Care Act passed by the Republicancontrolled House. I had concerns not covered by his standard talking points. I got back only more confirmation about communication with his constituents — not so good. Here’s the story. On May 11, this newspaper published a letter from me which asked Lewis to address three specific issues. Why: • allow elderly not yet Medicare-eligible to be charged five times more than younger people? • propose high-risk pools which result in higher premiums and coverage limits? • vote on an important bill without hearings, expert testimony, or assessment of costs and impact? I then sent the letter to Lewis with a cover note explaining that it had been published and that I would appreciate his response. And I suggested that this newspaper’s readers would also value hearing from him about these issues. I promptly received a letter full of talking points. To follow up, two weeks ago I called his office and spoke with staff to again request a response. Though I was told that they would get back to me, I have yet to receive anything — no email, no letter, no phone call. At least I tried.
To the editor: Kudos to the writer who pointed out the GOP’s illogical and harmful denial of climate change. (For the quality of the planet, June 16) However, there is a bipartisan bright spot shining in the U.S. House of Representatives — the Climate Solutions Caucus. This group currently has 20 GOP and 20 DFL members and is growing using a “Noah’s Ark” rule. To join, each prospective member must bring along someone from the other side of the aisle. Their focus is on solving the climate change threat in an economically viable way. Indeed, independent economic studies now show that going full steam ahead on clean energy can actually superboost our economy. I’m grateful to the dedicated courageous members HOWARD SCHNEIDER of this caucus, and urge Lakeville my representative, Jason

Dakota Electric celebrates Pollinator Week June 19-25 In honor of National Pollinator Week, June 1925, Dakota Electric Association is announcing plans to plant pollinator habitat at local substations and an upcoming solar installation. Since many Dakota Electric substations are located in urban areas, they are surrounded by grass. However, the cooperative is announcing plans to restore natural prairie habitat around a couple of rural substations as a pilot project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been looking for the right locations to plant pollinator habitat,â&#x20AC;? said Craig Knudsen, Dakota Electricâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s land use manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The solar site in Marshan Township seems ideal for this type of natural habitat. When it comes to our substations, we want to evaluate the benefits and the impact, relating to both reliability and maintenance.â&#x20AC;? The substations, one in Inver Grove Heights and one just north of Red Wing, are properties that are compatible for this type of natural restora-
tion improvement due to location and topography. A naturally restored environment has tangible benefits, such as reduced fertilizer and chemical weed control and reduced mowing, besides assisting the pollinator population. These projects will help Dakota Electric assess the overall impacts, including costs and benefits, and determine if more locations could benefit from habitat restoration. Beth Markhart from Prairie Restorations is managing the projects for Dakota Electric. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The locations will be planted with ecologically appropriate species from the Midwest once site preparation is completed in early summer,â&#x20AC;? Markhart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The final habitat will be a perfect environment for bees, butterflies and other pollinators.â&#x20AC;? Prairie Restorations said it may take up to three years to get the landscape habitat fully functioning, but natural benefits will already be seen in the first year.

Dollar Tree killer gets 32.5 years by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
The man who killed one person and paralyzed another in last Novemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shooting at the Dollar Tree store in Burnsville was sentenced Monday to 32 years and six months in prison. Grant David Hendrickson, 28, of South St. Paul, pleaded guilty June 6 to second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder. He was sentenced by Dakota County District Judge Michael Mayer. One of Hendricksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bullets killed a 69-year-old shopper, Donald J. Hortsch, of Rosemount. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are pleased to have brought this man to justice for
this violent and senseless crime,â&#x20AC;? Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom said in a statement. Authorities said Hendrickson went to the store at 14101 Aldrich Ave. the morning of Nov. 7 to confront an employee. He twice shot a 27-year-old man who police said at the time was believed to be an acquaintance of the employee, leaving him paralyzed below the waist. The man was hit in his right leg and abdomen, according to the criminal complaint. One bullet intended for the victim traveled through an aisle shelf and struck Hortsch, Backstrom said. The Dakota County grand jury had also charged Hendrickson with premeditated first-degree
murder. Hendrickson was convicted of first-degree criminal sexual conduct in September 2010. According to the complaint, he confronted the Dollar Tree employee after the employee revealed the conviction to Hendricksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unknowing girlfriend during an altercation at the store that morning. The woman then called Hendrickson to say sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d found out, and Hendrickson drove to the store, the complaint said. Shortly after the shootings, he was arrested nearby at Nicollet Avenue and McAndrews Road. Contact John Gessner at john. gessner@ecm-inc.com or 952-8462031.

Board leaves CTIB, approves county transportation funding The Dakota County Board of Commissioners voted on Tuesday to approve a resolution to dissolve the Counties Transit Improvement Board. The move followed the same action that has been approved by the four other CTIB member counties â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Hennepin, Ramsey, Anoka and Washington â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and paves the way for CTIB to formally dissolve at its June 21 meeting. A tentative agreement to dissolve CTIB was developed after negotiations May 6 and 7. That session was needed after Dakota County held up a March vote to dissolve the board as it disputed the amount of money it would receive in the break up.
Dakota County will receive $21.3 million as part of the dissolution â&#x20AC;&#x201D; $5.3 million more than previously proposed. The Dakota County Board also voted on Tuesday to maintain the current quarter-percent sales tax and $20 excise tax on new vehicle sales at the same rate. These actions will be cost neutral to residents and businesses as the tax will replace the CTIB tax, according to a press release from the county. County officials said in the release that maintaining the current quarter-percent sales tax will fund much needed Dakota County transit and transportation projects, while
providing a better return on investment for Dakota County taxpayers. County officials said transportation funding collected in Dakota County will be used on highimpact projects to improve safety, congestion, mobility and economic development. Although CTIB is disbanding, Dakota County said it remains committed to working with partners in the region on a robust, sustainable, regional transit system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This move by the Dakota County Board of Commissioners is focused on looking forward and addressing much-needed transportation needs in Dakota County that will

provide greater return on investment to our countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taxpayers than the regional CTIB approach did,â&#x20AC;? said Mike Slavik, Dakota County Board chairman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Leaving CTIB will help create a long-term, reliable structure to fund Dakota Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transportation needs.â&#x20AC;? Dakota County revenue could be used to fund regional transitway capital and operation costs such as the Metro Orange Line along I-35, Metro Red Line along Cedar Avenue, transit expansion, county and trunk highway projects, and regional trail projects. Five metro counties â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Anoka and
Washington â&#x20AC;&#x201D; established CTIB in 2008 to advance transit projects through the entire metro area. Dakota County saw a lack of CTIB investment in Dakota County transportation initiatives. Since 2008, CTIB collected about $947 million in taxes overall with $122 million coming from Dakota County taxes, as of March 31, 2017. During the same period, Dakota County projects received $53 million from CTIB. If CTIB votes to dissolve on June 21, the CTIB sales tax will end on Sept. 30. Dakota Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sales tax will take effect on Oct. 1. In addition to the dis-
solution payment of $21.3 million, the agreement says Dakota County would be paid back any future CTIB refunds of repayments on the same basis as other member counties. The county also will not be required to pick up CTIBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current 50 percent share of Red Line bus rapid transit operating cost subsidies. The Star Tribune reported that the Met Council would pick up the estimated $1.4 million in annual expenses to run the line that currently goes from Apple Valley to the Mall of America in Bloomington. Tad Johnson contributed to this story.

Food co-op will expand City Council grants approval
by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Valley Natural Foods, a co-op thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spent most of its 40 years in Burnsville, is going to grow. The City Council approved plans June 20 for an 8,925-square-foot expansion of the 15,400-squarefoot building at County Road 11 and McAndrews Road. The new space will be used to enlarge the co-opâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kitchen and fresh food deli, expand the bakery, add more retail space for fresh foods and create roomier shopping aisles, according to longtime general manager Susan McGaughey. The expansion will replace a car wash west of the co-op. Valley bought the property and will demolish the long-closed building. The expanded co-op will be allowed to have two food trucks on site. The council also granted McGaugheyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request for a truck during
construction, when the coopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s busy drive-thru window will be closed. McGaughey said she wants to continue serving morning coffee to motorists. The expansion is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;very, very good project for our community,â&#x20AC;? Mayor Elizabeth Kautz said. The corner has a history of development proposals that have been controversial with nearby homeowners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you for continuing to choose Burnsville to be your location,â&#x20AC;? she told co-op board members, noting that some have called the empty car wash an â&#x20AC;&#x153;eyesore.â&#x20AC;? The co-op started small in a Lakeville storefront but soon was moved to the Colonial Ridge strip mall on Nicollet Avenue in Burnsville. Fire destroyed the rented space in January 1989. Valley moved to a strip mall on Grand Avenue in Burnsville for 11 years. It outgrew the space, and members built
their own building at County Road 11 and McAndrews. The proposed food trucks drew some concerns from the neighborhood across McAndrews to the south. In response, a condition was added limiting the site to two trucks open only during the co-opâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business hours. A neighborhood meeting was held and residents were mostly supportive, City Planner Deb Garross said. The co-opâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loading area will be moved from the northeast part of the building to the northwest part of the new addition. The drivethru will be relocated from the west side of the building to the south, with a new coffee and juice pick-up window. McGaughey, who began working for the co-op 37 years ago, is retiring as general manager at the end of October, when the co-op will celebrate its 40th anniversary.

Leprechaun Days music lineup includes Irish, country and rock Acts include the Sweet Colleens, Martin Zellar, Tim Sigler and Them Pesky Kids by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
The Rosemount Leprechaun Days music lineup for 2017 mixes in some past performers with two new entries. The Sweet Colleens and Tim Sigler are the new acts, which will bring dashes of Celtic and country music, respectively, on different nights during three days of music at the Central Park Amphitheater. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Sweet Colleens are a natural fit for Leprechaun Days because they have some Irish influence in their music,â&#x20AC;? said committee president Steve Ball, who has helped in booking musical talent for the festival for many years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are excited to bring Tim Sigler here, since his concerts are always so full of energy.â&#x20AC;? Returning performers to Central Park are Martin Zellar and the Hardways, and Them Pesky Kids, which includes Rosemount High School graduate Mark Westlund. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our crowds have raved about Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past performances in Rosemount,â&#x20AC;? Ball said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Markâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s band gives a rockinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; show that is a perfect fit for our fireworks.â&#x20AC;? To call the Sweet Colleens an Irish band would not be completely accurate. While the band plays some traditional Celtic songs, it also blends Cajun, folk and pop influences. The Twin Cities-based band has five recordings to its credit, including a collection of songs geared toward children. The bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest release is â&#x20AC;&#x153;10 Mona Lisas,â&#x20AC;? which blends its influences together with an alternative country and Americana music backdrop. The group includes fiddle and accordion along with the traditional mix of guitar, bass and drums. Band mates are David Bade, Dave Bille, Jeremy Greenhouse, Wolf Loescher and Pete Sandvik. They typically play more than one instrument during a set.

Wet â&#x20AC;&#x2122;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Wild Day canceled, Blarney Stone Hunt moved Due to road construction planned on Shannon Parkway this summer, one Rosemount Parks & Recreation event during Rosemount Leprechaun Days has been canceled and one has been modified. Wet â&#x20AC;&#x2122;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Wild Day, which has traditionally been held on Wednesday during the 10-day community festival, has been canceled, while the Blarney Stone Hunt has been moved from Jaycee Park to Erickson Park, 14115 Brazil Ave. The parks department has held a similar event â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a spring egg hunt â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at Erickson Park in past years, so moving the Blarney Stone Hunt to the park
wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be too much a different planning challenge. The event involves children under 12 separated into three age groups collecting colored rocks that they can change in for money at the end of the hunt. The rocks are scattered across three different playfields for age groups 4 and under, 5- to 7-yearolds and 8- to 12-year-olds. The hunt is for Rosemount children only. It starts at 1 p.m. The event is sponsored by CF Industries & Rosemount Parks & Recreation. For more information, contact Rosemount Parks & Recreation at 651-322-6000.
LIBRARY, from 1A of Chromebook computers to all high school students, which they keep for the summer, is a key link in the program, said Renee Grassi, youth services manager for the Dakota County library system. Apple Valley High School in District 196 is the next stop for library cards. The county plans to launch a pilot program there in the fall, Grassi said. AVHS students get personal i-Pads. The Dakota and Scott libraries plan to expand the program to District 191 middle schools, according to the district. Burnsville High students log into their digital library cards with the numbers â&#x20AC;&#x153;191â&#x20AC;? and their student I.D. numbers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already had a lot of positive feedback from families and from students,â&#x20AC;? Grassi said, adding that some students
have visited the libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Burnhaven branch in Burnsville with Chromebooks in hand, seeking instructions. In Dakota County, the cards are fine-free. Scott County has a program through which youths can â&#x20AC;&#x153;read downâ&#x20AC;? fines and fees on their cards by reading or being read to at the library. Fine-free cards are â&#x20AC;&#x153;new territory for the Dakota County Library,â&#x20AC;? said Deputy Director Jennifer Reichert Simpson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fines are a barrier, especially to our youth who face economic challenges.â&#x20AC;? In addition to printed materials, county libraries have access to more digital resources than school libraries do, Grassi said. They include round-theclock homework help with a live tutor, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Homework help is just one of the many, many others that the schools donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have access
to,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But now, with the student cards, students will be able to have access to them.â&#x20AC;? Tutorials, foreign-language instruction, large e-book collections, biography collections, newspapers, magazines and various encyclopedias are other examples of resources that might not be available in school media centers, Reichert Simpson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To me, this is a true winwin,â&#x20AC;? said Doug Johnson, District 191 technology director and a former school librarian. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our students and staff are getting access to huge amounts of resources they might not otherwise have. But also, the public libraries are developing a new generation, I think, of library users and library advocates.â&#x20AC;? Contact John Gessner at john. gessner@ecm-inc.com or 952846-2031.

Eastview sophomore Will Frazier tied for 30th in the Class 3A boys tournament at Bunker Hills, shooting 77 both days for a 154 total. Rosemount senior Connor Humble shot 81-77–158 to tie for 43rd. Eagan teammates Steven Podratz and Joe Rohlf, both seniors, were in a tie for 50th at 161. Both players shot 80 in the first round and 81 in the second. Eastview senior Luke Doolittle qualified individually for state but withdrew from the tournament.

Lakeville South’s goal was to win a trophy at the state boys golf tournament for the third consecutive year, but in the end the Cougars might have been just too young for that to happen. The Cougars, with only two players who had competed at state before, had a rough first day at the Class 3A tourney last week at Bunker Hills in Coon Rapids. Only one South player shot below 81 in the first round, and that left the Cougars with too much ground to make up. Their second-round team score was 10 strokes better than their first round, but they could move up only one spot in the final standings, to sixth place. South’s twoday team total of 626 was 35 strokes behind state champion Wayzata, which came in two strokes ahead of second-place Minnetonka and six ahead of third-place St. Thomas Academy. One South player did leave with a state medal – senior Tanner Sperling, who had rounds of 72 and 73 for a 1-over-par 145 total, good for a tie for fourth place individually and just two strokes out of first place. It was the second consecutive state individual medal for Sperling, who tied for fifth place in 2016. Sperling and William Moore, both of whom will play golf at Bemidji State University, were the only two seniors in South’s lineup. The Cougars had two ninth-graders (Gavin Cronkhite and Brandon Sperling) and an eighth-grader (Jon Langlois) in the state tournament lineup, along with junior Griffin Norcia. Only Tanner Sperling and Moore had played in the state tournament before, and for the other Cougars “it’s a big step,” coach Kirk Reiners said. “There’s a banquet the night before, you play a practice round there. It’s different from a lot of the tournaments we play. “Did I want to get on the podium (for a top-three team finish)? I sure did. But it was a really big expectation.” South believed it could get into the top three because Tanner Sperling was expected to be steady. Cronkhite and Langlois both had broken par in competitive rounds this season. Reiners said Moore’s secondround 75 at state was a better indication of his ability than his first-round 87. But it didn’t come together for the Cougars, who had to count two 81s and an 84 in the first round of the team competition. Reiners said Tanner Sper-

Sperling was tied for first when he finished, but eventually was passed by several players that finished later. A couple of off-line tee shots didn’t help, but Reiners said Sperling got just about everything he could out of his two rounds. Wayzata senior Van Holmgren shot 143 (1 under) over the two days and was the only player to finish under par. “You can’t deny what Van Holmgren did,” Reiners said. “I didn’t know if anybody was going to be able to beat him.” Moore and Langlois were part of a tie for 56th with 162 totals. Cronkhite shot 81-82– 163 to tie for 59th. Brandon Sperling tied for 74th at 169 and Norcia tied for 79th at 169.
Rosemount girls Rosemount had been scoring in the mid-350s in girls golf tournaments near the end of the regular season, but it would have required much lower than that for the Irish to have a shot at a trophy in last week’s state Class 3A meet at Bunker Hills. A two-round total of 716 – 359 the first day and 357 in the second round – landed Rosemount in seventh place, one spot below where the Irish finished in their last appearance in the state team competition in 2014. Edina ran away with the team championship, scoring 607, 36 strokes lower than second-place Red Wing. The Hornets did not have to count
an individual score higher than 80 in either round. Chanhassen was third at 665, one stroke ahead of Buffalo. Rosemount’s top player at state was junior Sydney Regalado, who had rounds of 86 and 83 for a 169 total and a tie for 34th place. Gretchen McDonald, a senior, shot 81 for the Irish’s low score of the first round and followed with 90 for a 171 total and a tie for 40th. Also playing for the Irish at state were junior Megan Shandorf (66th, 95-88–183), eighthgrader Nidhi Sunkam (77th, 97-96–193), sophomore Renee Boldus (81st, 98-105–203) and senior Ellenor Westphal (85th, 106-104–210).
Class 3A individuals
Class 2A Visitation senior Anni Heck won her second state individual championship – and the first she didn’t have to share – in the state Class 2A girls tournament last week at Ridges at Sand Creek near Jordan. Heck, an Eagan resident, shot a 3-under-par 69 in the second round – the low round of the tournament by four strokes – to go with a firstround 75. Her 144 total was three strokes better than Minnewaska senior Ashlyn Guggisberg, who led after the first round. Heck shot under par at Ridges at Sand Creek for the third time in her last four state tournament rounds. She shot 71 and 68 in the 2016 Class 2A tournament and shared the individual championship with Kate Smith of Detroit Lakes. “It feels really good and I’m proud that I was able to come back from two strokes behind,” Heck told the Minnesota Golf Association. “It’s a great feeling – I’ve been working towards this for the past six years.” Heck finished sixth at state as a seventh-grader and qualified for the Class 2A tournament every year since. She will play golf at Denver University in the fall. Visitation, led by Heck, was third in the Class 2A team competition, Detroit Lakes and Lake City were first and second. Lakeville resident and Minnehaha Academy junior Carter Bell tied for 23rd in the boys Class 2A tournament at Ridges at Sand Creek, shooting 76 both days for a 152 total.
Lakeville North junior Megan Welch earned an individual medal at the Class 3A girls tournament for the second consecutive year. Welch placed fifth with a 150 total after individual rounds of 74 and 76. Welch tied for second at the 2016 Class 3A tourney. She placed in the top 20 at state for the fourth year in a row. Edina junior Joanna Kim and Red Wing sophomore Sophia Yoemans tied for the individual championship with 146 totals (the Minnesota State High School League does not conduct playoffs for individual championships). Grace Kellar of Edina was third at 148 and Buffalo’s Hanna Morin was fourth at 149. Eagan ninth-grader Josalynn Abbott shot 84-79–163 to tie for 23rd.

Wildcats’ offense breaks it open in lacrosse final Another outburst of goals brings Eagan a state championship by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
The question wasn’t so much if the goal explosion would come. It was how long it would last, and if Benilde-St. Margaret’s could recover. The Red Knights learned the same thing most of Eagan’s boys lacrosse opponents learned this season – once the Wildcats started rolling, they were nearly impossible to stop. A six-goal run in the second and third quarters put Eagan ahead to stay on its way to a 19-12 victory in the state championship game Saturday at Chanhassen High School and the Wildcats’ first title. The Wildcats trailed 5-2 early in the second quarter before their offense started motoring. Eagan (18-1) averaged 16 goals a game and was just one goal short of 300 for the season. It scored at least 11 in all 18 victories. “It starts with our defense,” said senior attackman Brandon Wuertz, a Mr. Lacrosse Award finalist. “Defense isn’t just the long sticks, it’s our attack, our middies, our goalie, everything. When we make a

We like to play aggressive.” Wuertz, with 71 goals and 19 assists this season, is the Wildcats’ leading scorer but is not their only threat. Seven Eagan players had at least two goals in the state championship game. The Wildcats began honing their quick-striking style last summer, shortly after winning the consolation championship at the 2016 state high school tournament. “We played a lot of summer tournaments, and that’s kind of how you had to play,” said senior midfielder Darby Sorensen, a Wildcats captain. “A lot of teams that aren’t from
Minnesota are running those types of offenses, and we had to fall in sync with that.” It wasn’t necessarily a style being ingrained into Eagan teams, but “it’ll be taught throughout the program now. Look at what just happened,” Sorensen said with a grin. Wuertz, Sorensen and junior attackman Isaac Peifer each had three goals in the championship game. Scoring two each were Cole Powell, Aaron Propson, Joey Mills and Joey Diffley. Andrew Chvatal and Tate Sundberg scored once each. Wuertz also had three assists. Joey Hofmann had two assists and won 23 of 26 faceoffs (88 percent). Goalie
Jack Courington, a first-team All-State selection, made seven saves. Eagan played only one game all season decided by fewer than four goals, and that was its 12-11 overtime victory over Mahtomedi in the state semifinals June 14 at Minnetonka High School. The Wildcats trailed by three goals early in the fourth quarter before coming back to tie the game. Powell scored the winning goal at 58 seconds of overtime. “That was a little nervewracking for everyone,” Powell said. “But the coaches have taught us how to handle that pressure all year, and it showed tonight.” The 2016 state tournament run helped the Wildcats believe they could do more in 2017. “We brought back a good combination of guys from last year,” coach Bob Felter said. “We lost some seniors, but the guys who filled in this year were just a tad better. “It wasn’t anything (the coaches) did per se, we just carried it over from last year and added a couple new parts.” Eastview, ranked No. 1 in the state at the time, was the only team to contain Eagan’s offense in a 12-7 Lightning victory May 18. The Wildcats resolved to not let that happen again.
Notebook: AV stays in-house to hire wrestling coach by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Apple Valley High School stayed in-house to fill the head wrestling coach position, promoting longtime assistant coach Josh Barlage. Barlage, a special education teacher at AVHS, has been part of the Eagles’ program for 10 years. He succeeds Dalen Wasmund, who stepped down this spring after five seasons as head coach. It’s no surprise that Apple Valley hired from within. Barlage is the fourth head wrestling coach in AVHS history, and every coach that succeeded program founder Bill Demaray was an Eagles assistant. Barlage was an assistant coach in Lakeville before coming Apple Valley. The Eagles have won state team championships every year Barlage has been on the coaching staff; they have won 12 in a row and 25 overall. Barlage was state Class 3A Assistant Coach of the Year in 2016-17. He wrestled in two Minnesota high school state tournaments and was a member of three NCAA Division III championship teams at Augsburg College. Wasmund coached wrestling in District 196 for 35 years, 25 at Apple Valley and 10 at Eagan. When he stepped down as Apple Valley head coach he left open the possibility of remaining with the program in another role. Barlage said Tuesday he would like Wasmund to remain involved but had not yet discussed that with him. Look for more about Barlage’s appointment in next week’s edition of Sun Thisweek.

The 2017-18 budget includes adjustments from the 2016-17 budget, assuming the impact of inflation and contract costs, reductions of $1.2 million in capital expenditures and $291,000 in teaching and learning, savings and new revenue of $300,000 in transportation services, and a $1.5 million transfer from the Other PostEmployment Benefits trust fund. The district employs approximately 4,000 full- and part-time staff members. Staffing changes are projected based on enrollment for 2017-18, including increases of about 47 full-time equivalent teaching positions and about 30 in secretary and clerical.

The budget shows the general fund balance at $23.8 million at the end of 2017-18.

Ames Center to announce full season in July Two shows confirmed feature â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Menopauseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ole and Lena at the State Fairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Ames Center in Burnsville will announce its 2017-18 season lineup in July, but the arts and entertainment venue has two shows confirmed that organizers say they are excited to have scheduled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Menopause The Musicalâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ole and Lena at the State Fairâ&#x20AC;? are slated in July and August bringing comedy and music to the stage. Now celebrating 14 years of female empowerment through hilarious musical comedy, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Menopause The Musical,â&#x20AC;? which will be performed at 2 and 7 p.m. Sunday, July 16, has evolved as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;grassrootsâ&#x20AC;? movement of women who deal with life adjustments after 40 by embracing each other and the road ahead. The musical is set in a department store where four women meet by chance while shopping for a black lace bra at a lingerie sale. After noticing unmistakable similarities among one another, the all-female cast jokes about their woeful hot flashes, mood swings, wrinkles, weight gain and much more. These women form a sisterhood and unique bond with the entire audience as they rejoice in celebrating that menopause is no longer â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Silent Passage.â&#x20AC;? Inspired by a hot flash and a bottle of wine, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Menopause The Musicalâ&#x20AC;? was created as a celebration of women who find themselves at any stage of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Change.â&#x20AC;? The laughter-filled 90-minute production gets audience members out of their seats and singing along to parodies from classic pop songs of the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Menopause The Musicalâ&#x20AC;? is recognized as the longest-running scripted production in Las Vegas and continues to run nightly at Luxor Hotel and Casino. The musical has entertained audiences across the country in more than 450 U.S. cities, nearly 300 international cities and a total of 15 countries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ole and Lena at the State Fair,â&#x20AC;? which will be performed at 2 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 10, and Friday, Aug. 11, recounts the hijinks that ensue after the calendar has finally turned over to Oleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite event of the year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the State Fair.

has been in countless competitions with her arch rival Elaine Danielson, always battling, only to end up with a tie for the coveted blue ribbons. But this year, Lena has a new trick up her sleeve that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sure will tip the balance in her favor. Ole, on the other hand, has his own fair surprise this year. Ole heard on â&#x20AC;&#x2122;CCO that Sweet Martha makes a truck load of money at the fair, so Ole and Sven have decided theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to turn the fair into a money-making operation with a food stand of their own. Their goal is to come up with something they can stuff on a stick and get them on TV with Frank and Amelia. But when it comes time to the leave for the
fair, Lena is nowhere to be found. Can Ole find Lena in time to spring her surprise on arch nemesis Elaine? The husband and wife team of Michael and Julie Bateson have written the play, in which they also star as Ole and Lena. The couple have starred in several Ole and Lena productions over the past few years at the Ames Center. Tickets for the show are $20 each. Tickets for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Menopause The Musicalâ&#x20AC;? are $53, $43 and $33. Box office hours are Monday-Friday 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Tickets also available by phone 800-9822787 or online at www. ticketmaster.com. Visit www.ames-center.com for a list of all upcoming performances.

Classmatesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; love of pro wrestling still strong Dan Michel and Keith Pavek graduated from New Prague High School in 1991. Their friendship started back in high school over a love of professional wrestling. They both enjoyed watching Hulk Hogan, Macho Man Randy Savage and many others. In 1997, Pavek started doing some wrestling announcing for a local independent wrestling group. During the summer of that year, the old friends had a chance meeting at a restaurant in New Prague. Pavek asked Michel if he was still considering becoming a professional wrestler.
Shortly thereafter, Michel started training and became Mitch Paradise. He wrestled his first match Dec. 19, 1997, in New Brighton while Pavek, who by then was known as Keith King, was doing play-by-play announcing during the action. Since 1997, Michel has wrestled thousands of matches across the Midwest and even had multiple tours in Puerto Rico. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrestled Brock Lesnar, King Kong Bundy, Ken Anderson and the Honkytonk Man. Pavek has done wrestling announcing on and
off over the years and has hosted different talk shows including the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Keith King Showâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just a Show.â&#x20AC;? Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interviewed the likes of John Cena, the Big Show, and of course, Michel, Mitch Paradise. The two childhood friends will be working together again Friday, June 23, at the Doublewide Bar in New Market as part of Fire Rescue Days. Mitch Paradise is wrestling Big Sepp in the main event while Keith King is the ring announcer. There are five matches that get under way at 8 p.m.
