Candidates for an open seat on the RosemountApple Valley-Eagan School Board gathered at Rosemount City Hall on July 20 to debate the issues. Craig Angrimson, Michael Atherley, Sachin Isaacs, Wendy Brekken, Christopher Dahling, John Millea and Rachel Wetzsteon are all vying for one four-year term on the
District 196 School Board. Wetzsteon did not attend the forum, which was held by the Dakota County Regional Chamber of Commerce. Candidates were asked a series of prepared questions as well as those submitted by the audience pertaining to the achievement gap, the district’s financial management and all-day early childhood programming, among other issues.
When asked how they would address the district’s changing demographics and achievement gap, Brekken and Atherley pointed to magnet schools as a tool that has been effective in ensuring racial balance among schools with in the district. Brekken said she also believes early education opportunities will help address achievement gaps between white students and students of color.
Dahling agreed that early childhood programs are an important tool to help all students prepare for school. He added if elected, he would also explore changes to English as a second language classes to separate children by level of proficiency instead of grouping students with different proficiency levels into one class. Millea noted that much of the increasing diversity in District 196 and

neighboring districts is composed of immigrants whose first language is not English. Millea said he believes strengthening ESL classes is key to helping these students succeed. Isaacs pointed to early intervention and ensuring there is diversity among teachers and administrators as ways to address the needs of an increasing diverse student population. See FORUM, 16A

District 196: Seven vie to fill spot on School Board Seven candidates are running in the special election on Aug. 9 for one four-year term seat on the Rosemount-Apple ValleyEagan School Board. They are Craig Angrimson, Michael Atherley, Sachin Isaacs, Wendy Brekken, Christopher Dahling, John Millea and Rachel Wetzsteon. A special election was set after former School Board Member Rob Duchscher resigned in March.
Craig Angrimson Age: 60 Address: 6054 Falcon Ridge Trail, Apple Valley Occupation: Oper- Craig ating engi- Angrimson neer Family: Wife, Gail; daughter, Rachel, 19, Qualifications: I am currently on the District 196 Legislative Advisory Council, am a past union president, a member of the executive board for St. Paul Labor Federation and chaired the 2015 EVHS senior party. 1) Why should people vote for you? Over the past two decades, I have shown my passion to improve this district. I am on district panels, chaired huge school events, attend all School Board meetings (only candidate to do so, most don’t go at all). I give my time freely to any
school where help is needed. I am smart enough to realize I do not have all the answers, but when posed a question or problem, I do my research and am able to find a solution. At my job, I have been on budget committees, safety committees, labor management panels, and am constantly consulted to troubleshoot problems. 2) What is the biggest issue facing the RosemountApple Valley-Eagan School District? How would you address that issue? Narrow the achievement gap. I believe all-day kindergarten is helping. I believe we should put more time into early assessments. Let’s find the students who need extra help earlier in their education, and respond accordingly. Let’s increase the cooperation between schools, parents, and community. Strong parent involvement has a direct impact. I also endorse more training for elementary teachers to maximize the new literacy collaborative program. I also believe the roll out of mini tablets this year will bring technology more into play, which is where the future is headed. In addition, I approve moving senior high start times to 8:30 a.m. 3) What experiences have prepared you for service on the District 196 School Board? As a past union president, I was in a position where I was expected to make decisions for our
entire group. At my present job, I am in charge of all maintenance. I do purchasing, budgeting, and scheduling of outside contractors. Earlier in my career, I was a cement mason and Realtor. All of these experiences not only shows my ability to work hard, but also my familiarity with construction costs. This will be a huge help on deciding capital project expenditures, as well as managing the day to day costs of running a school district.
Michael Atherley Age: 42 Address: 1 3 3 8 3 Carlingford Lane, R o s e mount Occupation: Com- Michael m e r c i a l Atherley banking Family: Wife, Danette; son, Ian, 10; daughter, Paige, 8. Both children attend Shannon Park Elementary. Qualifications: I have been an individual producer and have led teams and regions for both large national and small regional banks. I have a BSBA in economics from University of Nevada, Las Vegas. I have served on many nonprofit boards and committees. I have been a board member of the South Central Workforce and the South Central College Foundation Board, and a member of

the United Way community impact committee. I am volunteer and leader in my local church and my community. I am a precinct chair for the Republican Party in Senate District 57 and am active in my party. I coach youth sports for my children and I am a member of the In-house Baseball board of RAAA. 1) Why should people vote for you? I am running for School Board as a parent of children in the school district. I am someone who knows how to work hard and have gained an education that has served me well in having a great career in banking. I have a unique perspective having been raised and schooled in Las Vegas, one of the worst performing states for education. I moved to Minnesota to raise my children in an environment that values education and family. I chose Rosemount and District 196 because of the great community and schools. I would like the opportunity to be a part of the Board of Education to give parents a voice, and to provide a strong financial voice for the board. I am a fiscal conservative and will be an advocate for responsible spending by the district.  2) What is the biggest issue facing the RosemountApple Valley-Eagan School District? How would you address that issue? We are faced with many issues from the achievement gap, rapidly growing enrollment, and teens who are not getting enough sleep. But I believe the biggest issue facing the school district is the rapidly changing technology
that our children have at their fingertips. We need curriculum built around this technology. Children need to be immersed in a world that utilizes technology, but is not ruled by technology and simply relying on technology for entertainment. Children need to be exposed to more project-based learning and learn criticalthinking skills. Our children are overly stimulated and need to have a strong foundation, rooted in selfdiscipline and strong work ethic to succeed, not just in school, but in life. We are faced with a school district with aging infrastructure, which can be a hindrance to implementing the needed technology, and if we are not careful, can lead to runaway spending. Not to say the other challenges are not important, but I feel those are being addressed and are already a big focus for the district. 3) What experiences have prepared you for service on the District 196 School Board?

Qualifications: My work takes me to schools throughout Minnesota, and I have a deep knowledge of districts. Quoting a School Board member who endorsed me: â&#x20AC;&#x153;John has spent his career connected to education. He understands the conversations; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready to do the work.â&#x20AC;? (More information on Facebook;Â search â&#x20AC;&#x153;John For 196.â&#x20AC;?) 1) Why should people vote for you? My strong connections to education in Minnesota, paired with a deep desire to give back to my community, make me a great choice for voters. My children received worldclass educations in District 196 and I want to ensure the same for all students in our schools. I am passionate about my job with the Minnesota State High School League, especially my interactions with students, teachers, administrators and parents. Public education is a cornerstone of our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strength and I want to help District 196 remain the best in Minnesota. 2) What is the biggest issue facing the RosemountApple Valley-Eagan School District? How would you address that issue? Â Our district is growing, as evidenced by the current construction of our 19th elementary school. Growth means new and distinct challenges that must be met. I am concerned about continuing to ensure a quality education for all students and especially those who come from an economically disadvantaged background. Nearly one-quarter of our students receive free or reduced-price school meals, and we cannot allow any students to receive a lessthan-stellar education. In my eyes, the key to everything that happens in our schools is the direct relationship between teacher and student. We must do everything possible to enhance that relationship. 3) What experiences have prepared you for service on the District 196 School Board? From the day my oldest child walked into school for the first time, I have maintained solid ties with District 196. My position with the Minnesota State High School League affords me the opportunity to connect with schools in our state on a daily basis; I am a frequent classroom visitor, and I am always impressed by the positive things I see. Having such a connection with Minnesota school districts of all sizes also has reinforced my deeply held opinion that our district is the finest in the state.Â

Opinion Full two-year Minnesota college grants still available by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
A full, two-year tuition grant is still available for this year’s Minnesota high school graduates. This is one of the best deals that 2016 high school graduates will ever encounter. It’s available at Anoka Technical College, and possibly at other two-year public colleges, for students whose families earn $90,000 or less. At a time when many families are understandably concerned about college costs, this is a remarkable experiment created by the 2015 Minnesota Legislature. Mary Jacobson, director of marketing and public relations for Anoka-Ramsey Community College and Anoka Technical College, told me recently that Anoka Tech still has some of the two-year “occupational grants” available for eligible students. To apply, students must fill out the federal FAFSA form showing their family’s income. The grant will pay up to 100 percent of tuition costs for students taking courses in many technical fields. The state funds are applied after all other state and federal grants for which a student is eligible are used. It’s available for students who graduated from a Minnesota high school in 2016. Students who are eligible and interested should contact Jacobson at 763-433-1315. I checked with nine other two-year public colleges. Each said that they had allocated or are in the process of allocating the two-year occupational grant funds available to them. However, in
Sun Thisweek Columnist
Joe Nathan some cases there are no students on the “waiting list.” And some students who have been awarded the grants may have applied to more than one college. So it’s possible that some of the grant money will be available at other campuses. Central Lakes (Brainerd) – Mike Barnaby, director of financial aid at Central Lakes College in Brainerd, told me that the college has awarded about $160,000 to 33 students. These students were notified in June. At this point they have no funds remaining. Century College (White Bear Lake) – Jason Cardinal, associate dean of enrollment management at Century College in White Bear Lake, told me that they were estimating “over 60 participants” in the occupational grant program. Letters were sent in mid-July to those being offered the grant. Dakota County Technical College (Rosemount) – Dakota County Technical College President Tim Wynes explained that Rosemount college received about $153,000. College staff are reviewing applications. Wynes anticipates that students will be notified by July 29 about whether they will receive occupational grants. Hennepin Technical College (Brooklyn Park and Eden Prairie) – Tim Ja-
cobson, director of financial aid at Hennepin Technical College, with campuses in Brooklyn Park and Eden Prairie, explained that the school notified 26 students the first week of July that they will be receiving the occupational grant funds. They have allocated all funds provided to them and are waiting for confirmation from these students. Inver Hills Community College (Inver Grove Heights) – Inver Hills Community College President Tim Wynes explained that the college, in Inver Grove Heights, received about $131,000. College staff are reviewing applications. Wynes anticipates that students will be notified by July 29 about whether they have been awarded occupational grants. Normandale Community College (Bloomington) – Steven Geller, director of media and public relations with Normandale Community College in Bloomington, explained that 43 students received the occupational grant and that about 40 are on a waiting list. North Hennepin Community College (Brooklyn Park) – Steve Yang of North Hennepin Community College in Brooklyn Park wrote that as of July 5, there were no students yet on the waiting list. So there may be opportunities for students who had not yet applied. Pine Technical Community College (Pine City) – Shawn Reynolds, financial aid director at Pine Technical and Community College in Pine City, explained the college sent notices to seven students early in June that they had received the occupational grant. However, Reynolds added,“I do anticipate being able to award additional funds as we get closer
to fall semester with students making adjustments to their schedules.” St. Cloud Technical and Community College (St Cloud) – Anita Baugh, director of financial aid at St. Cloud Technical and Community College, explained that the college planned to notify students in mid-July if they received the occupational grant. Ginny Dobbs, manager of state financial aid programs at the Minnesota Office of Higher Education Office, has been overseeing the project. She told me that funds were allocated to each campus based on a formula that included how many students on their campus would have been eligible for the grants if they had been available in 2015. Dobbs also explained that her office plans to “contact campuses during fall term to see if any have excess funds that can be allocated to other campuses.” Minnesota legislators decided to test what would happen when they expanded opportunities for students to enroll in occupation programs at the state’s public two-year colleges. It appears that there still are opportunities for students who want to participate. I’d encourage checking into it immediately if you are interested.

Stopped by a cop? Stay safe with these experts’ tips by Don Heinzman SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Drivers who have been pulled over by a police officer know it is a tense time for the motorist and the officer. Questions about the proper way to react to a traffic stop have been in the news ever since a St. Anthony Police officer stopped a car driven by Philando Castile. For some reason yet to be determined by investigators, officer Jeronimo Yanez shot and killed Castile. Castile allegedly told Yanez he had a permit to carry a gun, but what transpired during their brief encounter and led to the fatal shooting still is unclear. It does make many motorists wonder what they should do to reduce any potential stress during a traffic stop. Bloomington Police Chief Jeff Potts, who has considerable experience in traf-
Sun Thisweek Columnist
Don Heinzman fic law enforcement, offers these suggestions for drivers who may also be legally carrying a weapon: –When you see a squad car with blue and red lights flashing, immediately pull over to the side of the road, leaving room for the officer. Roll down the window, wait and place both hands on the steering wheel at 2 and 10. –Immediately tell the officer you have a permit to carry a handgun. You are not legally obligated to reveal if you have a gun in the car, but Potts advised to do
just that, and also where it is located, while keeping both hands on the wheel. –The officer may advise you to tell where the weapon is located. Do not reach for the glove compartment or a purse, for example, in the car. Rather, carefully follow the officer’s instructions to the letter. Kevin Michalowski, a part-time police officer and editor of Concealed Carry Magazine, has other suggestions if you have a weapon with you. He says shut off your engine and turn on your hazard lights if it is dark. Also, turn on the lights inside the car and keep your hands on the wheel. Like Potts, he said if you have a weapon in the car, calmly alert the officer you are legally armed and follow his instructions, slowly narrating what you are doing. Michael Briggs, a firearms instructor
in Anoka, told The Christian Science Monitor that if your firearm is on your hip and your identification is in your back pocket, let them know: “I have a firearm on me. What would you like me to do next?” What if you are stopped for having a burned out taillight? Most officers will give you a “fix it” warning. Some will just tell you to have it repaired, after checking your identification. If you have several defects on the car, the officer may give you a ticket. A traffic stop can be eased for the motorist and the officer. Make it positive by following the officer’s instructions exactly and keeping your hands on the steering wheel.

Letters Forum was disappointing
My disappointment was obvious when I spoke to this moderator after the meeting. I also asked why the Pledge of Allegiance to the American flag was not said. Her reply was that nobody had requested it. Really? A public meeting about public schools and somebody has to ask for the pledge to be recited? I also asked why only softball questions had been asked. The reason given was that she was from the Chamber of Commerce and the only issues they were interested in were regarding economics. What about the issues the community is interested in? Or doesn’t that matter anymore? What an intensely disappointing meeting it was. There are issues that the public needs to hear about but apparently the “chamber” doesn’t care.
To the editor: On July 20, a roomful of people showed up at Rosemount City Hall to hear candidates for the open Rosemount-Apple ValleyEagan School District 196 School Board seat. The meeting started promptly at 7 p.m. with Vicki Stute from the Chamber of Commerce explaining who she was and how the meeting would be conducted. All questions for the candidates were to be written on slips of paper and handed to Stute who would ask the candidates for their answers. Repeatedly the candidates were asked about later start times for high school students and also borrowing from the reserve, when necessary. Questions which were sent forward regarding Common Core and transgender LESLIE HENSCHEL locker rooms were never Apple Valley presented by Stute.
Police should shoot not to kill
To the editor: Reading Jerome Wacker’s letter to the editor in last week’s edition regarding the police killing of a young man who turned out to be on meth was troubling for me. To begin with, the police broke the window in his car so that they could get close enough to taser him. Furthermore, he did not get out of his car and flee wielding a knife in his hand until after these two unsuccessful tasering attempts. If this man had a gun in his possession, I believe he would have shown it at this time when the officers were within a few feet of his car. Mr. Wacker has reiterated the exact point that should be repeated once again, i.e., police are trained to shoot at the midsection which will normally kill. In this case, the man was running away from the CARL MOONEY car, not toward the officers, Burnsville

and yet reportedly 21 shots were fired to bring the suspect down. Seriously? Let us as a society begin to ask our police forces to consider a second method in bringing a man down, i.e., shooting at the lower extremities in those instances where killing a suspect is probably not necessary (as it was in my opinion in this instance). I would term this scenario as “shoot not to kill” and would be utilized only in instances where a fleeing suspect probably does not have to be killed. I completely support our brave police officers but I believe there are many situations we witness often in the media which warrant this second approach of bringing a suspect down. I would like to see a “shoot not to kill” discussion begin all across our country in these days of utter violence.

To the editor: Did our governor speak too soon when he declared that Philando Castile would not have been shot had he been white? We are all taught not to be hasty in our judgment of others. No one should know or practice this virtue more carefully than those in high office. The consequences of imprudent speech has a multiplying and often deleterious effect when public officials utter them, especially when all factors are not yet present. For this same reason all citizens
should be cautious about any rush to judgement, especially on matters this serious. Hopefully our governor will soon set a worthy example of prudence and forbearance here after. RICHARD IFFERT Eagan
Thank you To the editor: On behalf of the Dakota County Chiefs of Police Association and its law enforcement family, we would like to thank the people of Dakota County for their ongoing support of our officers. The outpouring of gifts – including food, flowers, and kind words – over the last several weeks has been positively overwhelming, encouraging, and a beautiful reminder of what drew us all to the public safety profession. From cookies to gift cards, from handwritten notes to handshakes on the street, the people in our cities and townships across the county have warmly and generously expressed their appreciation for the work we do. We cannot thank them enough. We are here to protect and serve our communities – and we love what we do. Now more than ever, we need to come together to foster relationships that build trust and understanding in our communities. We invite and encourage each and every one of you to join us on Tuesday, Aug. 2, for the annual National Night Out/Night to Unite events throughout Dakota County. We will try to meet and mingle with as many
of you as we can! The tragic events of the past few weeks do not need to define us. Together, we can keep our communities safe.

Why I like Democrats To the editor: Democrat Angie Craig is your choice for U.S. Congress. She believes in education, job creation, protection of Social Security and health care benefits and equal opportunity. When Democrats are in charge, these principles prevail.

Currently, I have a business in human potential and I am an ordained minister. 1) Why should people vote for you? Vote for me because I care about all of our children. I will listen to our school community and the parents and kids. I see potential in all people and I am passionate about
enabling our children to tap and live their highest potential, purpose, and happiness. I care deeply about creating loving, supportive, and energetic environments for our children to express excellence in growth and learning. I think I would add value to the School Board because I will bring the voice of a parent, with children currently attending our schools, to represent our families. My heart is invested. 2) What is the biggest issue facing the school district? How would you ad-
dress that issue? Our children and families are dealing with a lot. Many parents are tired, overwhelmed, and frustrated and many children and adolescents are living in poverty and/or experiencing depression and anxiety. In order for children to focus, be present, and learn well, they need supportive and encouraging relationships with friends and family, they need to be well-nourished and getting plenty of sleep, and they need life skills for dumping stress. I believe we can implement
programs to transform these circumstances and help all children grow into adults with the confidence and empowerment to create their dreams and live joyfully. 3) What experiences have prepared you for service on the District 196 School Board? I have been blessed with many life experiences in public education, music, health care, health research, wellness, personal and spiritual growth, relationships, and business that have prepared me to serve District 196. Spe-
cifically, I have taught courses at the University of Minnesota, conducted research studies with hundreds of children and adults, worked as a nursing assistant, led group fitness classes for 18 years, served as president and vice president of membership in Toastmasters, and facilitated transformation for my clients. I value love, peace, listening, respect, and integrity. These values drive my desire to support the greatest good for all of our children.
works of the classic 18th century Scottish philosopher Adam Smith. U.S. Rep. John Kline, Donald Trump, the contemporary Republican Party and all the others named in the June 30 letter titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hoodwinkedâ&#x20AC;? all promote profiteering and tax dodging. It was not always that way. At one time the Republicans actually improved America. For example by spearheading the Interstate Highway system and creating Social Security. However, today the GOP only wants to privatize everything so the socalled free enterprise can make a profit from our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s equity plus give unsavory the opportunities to raid our property. The stated aim of Republicans is to reduce our democratic government. That way uncontrolled capitalists can control and dole out any of the essential services they select and make big profit for themselves. As examples today we have Blackwater, which mutated into XE Services, again changing name to Academi to cover its tracks and conducting military activities without any accountability. Or by Kline hosting job fairs where for-profit schools and lenders are preying on the needy. By comparison, in Germany these predators are eliminated because education is provided free even in university. Glab misrepresented
the problems of Venezuela. Instead I would like to point to the growing unrest right here in our country. The root of it is the income disparity caused by this profiteering. A few stinking rich corrupt our democratic government with their wealth, kill regulation and take our jobs and money out of the country. Seeking prosperity for all is not socialism. We must rid ourselves of all the elected current obstructionists in Congress. Short of a revolution this purge is the only chance we citizens have to force the revival of the constructive Republican Party of the past. If you are a true conservative and a patriot, vote for the Democrats this fall because a society of tax dodging predators is not sustainable.
each one. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thinking of the Christmas shopping season. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now starting on Thanksgiving Day and practically almost up to midnight on Christmas Eve. This is seriously ridiculous. The corporate leaders create it, put pressure and stress on the consumers, who then perpetuate it by participating. Each side blames the other for the cause of the problem. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the rat race nobody wants or need. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all to blame. Why are we so rushed and consumed in selling and buying the latest and greatest thing by this encroaching Black Friday into Thanksgiving Day? Have we forgotten this day was created and set aside to give thanks of what we already do have? Are we thankful for those who have gone before us and to God our creator for His blessings, who has so richly supplied for our needs? If we lose these special days called holidays and treat them as just another shopping day, sooner or later we will have forgotten why and what we really stand for as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;exceptional nation.â&#x20AC;? For the little precious time we do have left, do we now want to
give up even the holidays for the sake of our greed and consumerism? To all of us, we need to rethink our attitudes and check our motives of our selfish ways. If this continues, this my friends, is just another sad sign of erosion of the values we Americans have held for so long. Try a little rest, gratefulness and contentment. It will do all of us some good. If we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t control ourselves with this corporate greed and consumerism, it will control or consume us.
primary election. At the district convention, Darlene Miller asked to be removed from the ballot before voting started because she realized she had absolutely no support. (At least Jason Lewis did not accept a government handout for his business, as did Ms. Miller.) John Howe was eliminated on the second ballot at the convention. There is a third candidate in the primary, but not much is known about him. What it comes down to is voting for the chosen candidate who can most easily defeat the pro-abortion, radical leftwing liberal Angie Craig. That candidate is Jason Lewis. Jason Lewis is experienced. He believes in limited government, the rights of states, protection of individual liberties, a balanced budget, economic responsibility, defending the Constitution and American values. He is a strong fiscal leader for working families. My family and I will be voting for Jason Lewis in the primary. I urge all other patriots to do the same.
JOE NIEDERMAYR Lakeville
Remember the real meaning of holidays To the editor: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really a shame that we Americans are forgetting our history and misuse our holidays that are part of the fabric of our American heritage and values, all in the name of corporate greed and materialism. Holidays are truly set apart from the other days for families to stop, rest, think and celebrate the real meaning behind
DENNIS HORAK Farmington
Patriots should vote for Lewis
To the editor: On Aug. 9 voters will be able cast a ballot in the primary election for a GOP congressional candidate in Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2nd District. The 2nd District convention easily, and with full confidence, nominated Jason Lewis as its candidate for the congressional seat. But, that did not suit two other candidates who decided, rather petulantly in CHUCK ERICKSON public opinion, to go to an Burnsville expensive and unnecessary

Burnsville resident is voice of corn in Minnesota by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
The joke about being out standing in your field doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite fit Anna Boroff, who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t own a farm and wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t raised on one. But she has stood in a lot of fields, and her brisk rise through state government work into the top lobbyist job for Minnesota corn growers shows sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done a lot of things well. The 31-year-old Burnsville resident is senior public policy director for the Minnesota Corn Growers Association, which represents the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 25,000 growers. Hired by the Shakopee-based organization in 2012, Boroff is its chief state lobbyist, describing herself as the liaison between the Legislature and corn farmers. She also keeps a close watch on federal farm legislation. As the dog days of summer approach sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monitoring prospects for a special state legislative session, which holds the fate of a key agricultural property tax exemption, and preparing for travels throughout farm country, including next monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Farmfest in Morgan, Minn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my favorite part, to go throughout the state and talk to farmers,â&#x20AC;? said Boroff, who lives near Neill Park with husband Donnie and their four children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also feel incredibly responsible for what happens to them in the Legislature.â&#x20AC;?
Boroff, who grew up in Rosemount and was homeschooled until 10th grade, said she caught the politics bug from Karen St. John, social studies and Spanish teacher at Christian Life Academy in Farmington, where her mother also taught. Boroff graduated in 2002. After earning a political science degree at Bethel University, Boroff, a former legislative intern, was hired by Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s House Republican caucus in 2006. The staff job included door-knocking for state Rep. Lloyd Cybart of Apple Valley, who went down in that yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wave of Democratic victories. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was actually really terrible,â&#x20AC;? Boroff said, laughing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I say it lovingly that that was the worst job I ever had. Door-knocking, you have to be a really interesting person to love that.â&#x20AC;? Back at the Capitol she worked as a legislative assistant assigned to a trio of outstate legislators â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Torrey Westrom, Bud Nornes and Tony Cornish â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which helped raise her game on agricultural issues. She later worked in caucus positions in constituent services and research. When Republicans retook the House in 2010, Boroff was promoted to the office of new Majority Leader Matt Dean, where her duties included scheduling bills to be heard on the House floor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the gig you want, those jobs in the speakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office and the
Anna Boroff is pictured in her Shakopee office of the Minnesota Corn Growers Association. (Photo by John Gessner) majority leaderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office,â&#x20AC;? Boroff said. But with twin boys at home, Boroff burned out on the late-night grind legislative-session politics and left in June 2011, before Republicans lost back the House in the November elections. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I looked pretty brilliant at the time,â&#x20AC;? Boroff said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to say it was all part of my plan, but I felt bad for my colleagues who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a job after that.â&#x20AC;? She applied with the corn growers association
in part, Boroff said, because rural Minnesota politics tend to be more bipartisan, moderate and focused on results. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just kind of liked the way they operated,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So when someone mentioned that the corn growers were looking for someone, I thought maybe that would be a good change of things.â&#x20AC;? The 7,200-member organization has been ensconced in the issue of Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water quality, about which Gov. Mark Dayton and others have
raised alarms. Minnesota is the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third-largest cornproducing state. Nonpoint source pollution is the largest cause of surface water-body pollution, according to the state Pollution Control Agency. And the largest source of nonpoint source pollution is the runoff of excess nutrients from fertilizers used in agricultural operations, according to Deborah Swackhamer, recently retired co-director of the University of Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Water Resource Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Minnesotans care a lot about their water quality,â&#x20AC;? Boroff said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would argue that farmers do, too. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re multigenerational. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to pollute their water, either. And I think they genuinely want to be a part of the conversation in how we address the problems. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Farmers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only contributors to water quality impact. We all have a role to play in addressing it. I think it would be a much better conversation to have than people pointing the finger, because people automatically get defensive. I think farmers get defensive when thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the conversation.â&#x20AC;? Daytonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal for 50-foot buffer strips between agricultural production and public waters to filter out phosphorous, nitrogen and sediment became law in 2015. The law also requires 16.5-foot buffer strips along public ditches. Amended in 2016, the law now exempts private ditches.
Farmers chafe at â&#x20AC;&#x153;arbitraryâ&#x20AC;? footage requirements applied to â&#x20AC;&#x153;random bodies of waterâ&#x20AC;? absent a demonstration that taking certain pieces of land out of production â&#x20AC;&#x201D; land whose characteristics they know well â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will improve water quality, Boroff said. Farmers are now combing through buffer-protection maps issued by the Department of Natural Resources this month, she said. Many farmers already have buffers, though some donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, Boroff said. Notillage and minimum-tillage farming practices that stir less soil are growing more common, along with â&#x20AC;&#x153;side-dressingâ&#x20AC;? that minimizes fertilizer application by using technology to pinpoint where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needed, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farming like they did five years ago, even, let alone 20, 30 years ago,â&#x20AC;? Boroff said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their tractor cabs look like the space shuttle. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just amazing. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re using way less fertilizer, way less inputs ... and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to pinpoint just where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re needed.â&#x20AC;? How does this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crop look? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The crop looks good. The price does not look good,â&#x20AC;? Boroff said. Farmers â&#x20AC;&#x153;had some really good years, and now theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have some tough ones.â&#x20AC;?

TRIAL, from 1A with strangers for over two years during a custody dispute and has had no contact with any of their children since that time. Samantha and Gianna Rucki, now 18 and 16 years old, were discovered by law enforcement Nov. 18, 2015, at the White Horse Ranch operated by Doug and Gina Dahlen in Herman, Minn., where Grazzini-Rucki admitted to dropping them off April 21, 2013, saying she would return for them in about three days. Grazzini-Rucki testified she was dishonest about the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; whereabouts to Lakeville police, the courts and their father during the search effort because she was trying to protect them from their father, David Rucki. Grazzini-Rucki said David Rucki was abusive to herself and the children, allegations Rucki denies and two of their children also denied during testimony. Dakota County Attorney Kathryn Keena alleged that during the divorce and custody dispute, Grazzini-Rucki actively worked to turn the children against their father, a process known as parental alienation or hostile aggressive parenting, according to the Parental Alienation Awareness Organization. The PAAO website states parents engaging in parental alienation mentally manipulate or bully their children into believing a loving parent is the cause of all their problems and/or the enemy to be feared and hated. The two eldest Rucki children, Samantha Rucki and Nico Rucki, testified that David Rucki never abused them or their siblings. Nico Rucki, 20, also testified his father never threatened to shoot the entire family as GrazziniRucki had claimed, nor did he recall a phone message recording among others he had received from Dave Rucki which the defense claimed was the sound of gunshots. The jury heard the recording, and GrazziniRucki testified it was sent by Dave Rucki to Nico Ruckiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cellphone. During later crossexamination by Keena, Grazzini-Rucki said she could not remember on
whose phone the message was left, and said her former attorney Michelle MacDonald made an error documenting it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well aware of it,â&#x20AC;? Grazzini-Rucki said. Gina Dahlen testified the girls were happy at the ranch, active in the community, were home schooled, participated in their church and performed chores. She said they appeared terrified of their father and threatened to run away if they were returned home.
Traumatic experience Grazini-Ruckiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney Stephen Grigsby subpoenaed Samantha Rucki and David Rucki to compel Gianna Rucki, a minor, to testify in court, the first time they would see their mother since 2013. Judge Karen Asphaug cited deep concern about the trauma testifying could have on the girls. David Rucki opposed having the girls testify, and his attorney Lisa Elliott asked the court to quash the subpoenas. After Asphaugâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intervention, Gianna Rucki was not required to testify, and Grazzini-Rucki remained in the courtroom with jurors as Samantha Ruckiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s testimony was heard in the courtroom. Grazzini-Rucki showed no visible emotion watching the video of Samantha Rucki sobbing and stating when asked that she has not seen her mother in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;long, long time.â&#x20AC;? Sitting hunched on the table with arms crossed, Samantha Rucki described constant loud arguments between her parents and said she saw David Rucki grab Grazzini-Rucki once. David Rucki testified he never physically, emotionally or sexually abused any of them. He said they have gone through reunification therapy, and the youngest four children are living with him in their Lakeville home while continuing to work with therapists. Grazzini-Rucki testified she and the children lived in fear and said when she had temporary custody in 2011, David Rucki would arrive at the home unannounced. She described alleged instances of violations of restraining orders, filed after the divorce and during

the custody disputes. Keena, head of the criminal division, arrived in the courtroom daily with a wheeled crate of documents and referred to them frequently during testimony. Keena said David Ruckiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two alleged violations of the order for protection occurred once when he was trying to pick up his mail and another when he contacted a neighbor to ask GrazziniRucki if he could obtain one of his tools in the garage. David Rucki testified that when Grazzini-Rucki lived in the Lakeville home and had temporary custody, she and Samantha Rucki were recorded by the Minneapolis Macyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parking ramp surveillance cameras twice dropping his business checks on the ground. He said he learned of the incident through a call from Macyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s security, and soon started getting phone calls from people â&#x20AC;&#x153;all over the metroâ&#x20AC;? who had found his checks in cities that included Richfield and St. Paul.
sued between GrazziniRucki and her siblings for what Rucki reported was a share of the $300 million trust. Rucki stated in the affidavit the couple spent about $250,000 in the lawsuits and took a loan from his parents for approximately $358,558 in addition to putting his business up for collateral. He also stated Grazzini-Rucki told him the trust has a provision that if she or other siblings were divorced and struggling financially, they could access some of its money and get some financial relief. In court, GrazziniRucki denied she suggested getting a divorce on paper so she could access the trust funds, and said David Rucki could not stay at the home. Keena noted the lack of police reports of any abuse before the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s divorce and said to GrazziniRucki during cross-examination, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You had no problem calling police on that occasion,â&#x20AC;? Grazzini-Rucki said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was divorced.â&#x20AC;?
Divorce
Custody
Rucki also testified that he arrived home one day in 2011 to discover he was divorced, and GrazziniRucki called police who removed him from their Lakeville home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never went to a court proceeding or saw anything,â&#x20AC;? David Rucki said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t figure it out.â&#x20AC;? David Rucki testified he returned later that night and took photos of the divorce decree that awarded sole custody of their children to Grazzini-Rucki and severed his rights to the house, property and everything they owned. The order also required David Rucki to pay $3,673 per month in child support and $10,000 per month in spousal maintenance, according to court documents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It left me with zero,â&#x20AC;? Rucki said. He said Grazzini-Rucki had earlier proposed they divorce â&#x20AC;&#x153;on paper onlyâ&#x20AC;? so she could access $1.5 million from a family trust. In a 2011 Hennepin County affidavit, David Rucki said Grazzini-Rucki discovered in 2006 that a trust fund set up for her children and her own trust had been taken by her siblings. Multiple lawsuits en-
Dakota County courts eventually revised the settlement to be what Keena described as a more equitable settlement, and David Rucki was given sole custody of all their children Nov. 25, 2013, in a 63-page order granted while the girls were still missing. The order specified that if either parent had information on the location of the girls, they were to immediately disclose that information to the proper authorities. Grazzini-Rucki testified she purposefully avoided asking about the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; location during long phone conversations with Evavold so she could have some piece of truth when keeping the information from authorities. Gina Dahlen told the jury Grazzini-Rucki contacted her a handful of times and then stopped all contact with her.

venue, especially with improvements the city has made in the last two years, Schaffer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so heavily used that in the fall, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have customers regularly comment that they went down there but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get an open lane,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well-used.â&#x20AC;? Schaffer was also at City Hall in the late â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s with the Metro Bowhunters Resource Base when officials were working on a plan to manage the local deer herd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the time, I remember, they were contracting with a hunting company and it was very expensive,â&#x20AC;? Schaffer recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We tried to impress upon them that we had hunters who were willing to do this for nothing. They would even pay money to do that.â&#x20AC;? Schaffer was a freshman mechanical engineering student at the University of North Dakota when he designed and sold his first accessory for a modern compound bow. Called an overjaw bracket, it enabled the use of short-
â&#x20AC;&#x153;My parents got me a bow when I was probably 8,â&#x20AC;? said the Credit River resident, a former state-champion archer who grew up in Bloomington. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I shot it â&#x20AC;&#x2122;til it broke in half, and have had a bow ever since.â&#x20AC;? While few outside the sport may know he has a business in Burnsville, Schaffer has recently been involved in discussions over possible relocation of the city-owned outdoor archery range near Cliff Road and Interstate 35W to a spot in the Rudy Kraemer Nature Preserve south of Highway 13. Dodge of Burnsville is seeking to buy the current range property for newcar storage. Schaffer said he has no problem with the dealershipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan but is keen to see the range relocated if the city does sell the land. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We sell thousands of bows here, and most of the people are local,â&#x20AC;? Schaffer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s illegal to shoot in your backyard.â&#x20AC;? The Burnsville range is his customersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; primary
Before they ran All immediate family members who testified described constant loud fighting and screaming between the former couple during the divorce and custody battles that started in 2011. The children were joint-
ly placed in temporary custody of Tammy Love, a paternal aunt and Nancy Olson, a maternal aunt in October 2012. That change came after an emergency hearing where David Rucki asked the children be removed from the care of GrazziniRucki. Nico Rucki lived with Love and the younger four lived with GrazziniRuckiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister, Nancy Olson. After experiencing challenges, Olson asked the court in February 2013 to transfer their care to Love, who was to live in the Lakeville home with the children starting April 19, 2013. Love told jurors they expected the girls would be unhappy with the change, and determined to move the girls in first and bring the rest of the children the following week. To ease news of the move, Olson brought the girls to the Lakeville police station, where they learned details of the plan in a conference room with a police officer present. They were so distraught, an officer accompanied them to the house and reassured them before leaving. Love said she tried to give them space to explore at the home, but soon realized they had run away. Samantha Rucki testified that minutes after arriving in the home, she called her mom on a secret â&#x20AC;&#x153;burnerâ&#x20AC;? phone, told her she and Gianna Rucki were running away and pleaded with her to pick them up. Grazzini-Rucki testified both girls were â&#x20AC;&#x153;hystericalâ&#x20AC;? during the call, and Samantha Rucki said they were running away with her or without her help. They hastily made plans to meet near the Ireland Court house in Lakeville; she picked them up and after some frantic driving without a destination brought them to the St. Cloud residence of Deidre Evavold, who Grazzini-Rucki described as a family court activist who helps people dealing with legal issues in family matters. Gina Dahlen said Evavold called her as they were headed to church and asked if they could watch two girls for a few days and they agreed. The ranch operated as
a rescue operation, pairing abused horses with children suffering from emotional, physical and/ or sexual abuse, she said. Gina Dahlen described the girls as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the most fearful children I have seenâ&#x20AC;? compared to other children who have visited the ranch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They expressed a real fear of their father,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding that they loved their mother. During trial, Keena presented volumes of court orders and hearing transcripts that showed Grazzini-Rucki falsely claiming no knowledge of the girls whereabouts, and several times Grazzini-Ruckiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s testimony contradicted information in court documents. Grazzini-Rucki described feeling unsafe and finding no help from Lakeville police and other authorities. She said a 2014 federal lawsuit brought by her former attorney Michelle MacDonald on her behalf was to try to shed light on her challenges with police, courts and other officials, including two guardian ad litems assigned to their case who also testified in court. The case, which included allegations of a sexual nature were perpetrated against the girls by therapists assigned to their case was thrown out by the courts. Guardian ad litem Julie Friedrich testified she was trying to help determine visitation and custody issues and conducted interviews with the children at their schools. She said GrazziniRucki burst into one of the interviews with the youngest children extremely distraught, clutching herself and pleading with her in front of the children to not â&#x20AC;&#x153;take my babies.â&#x20AC;? She said the children became so scared of her and confused that she was forced to stop the interview. Eventually she said she asked to be dismissed from the case for the first time in her 20-year career because, she testified the children grew increasingly distrustful of her, growing to hate her because of misinformation GrazziniRucki had given them. Closing arguments were held Wednesday and the jury went into deliberations after this edition went to press.
er, lighter arrows in pursuit of archersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;unending quest for speed,â&#x20AC;? Schaffer said. Arrows today are made of carbon fiber, not the heavier aluminum of yesteryear, making the product obsolete, said Schaffer, who as a teen worked for the old Burger Brothers Sporting Goods store in Bloomington. Schaffer said he found a manufacturer for the overjaw bracket and sold it to a company that was a precursor to major industry player Mathews Archery Inc. After college he was hired as a design engineer by Check It Products, a company that made archery sights. He continued to tinker with his own products under the name Schaffer Performance Archery and left Check It after a couple of years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Came out with a new arrow rest, went to the trade show that year and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been selling them ever since,â&#x20AC;? said Schaffer, who said all his products are made by a Burnsville machine shop he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t name for proprietary reasons. He opened the store on East Cliff Road in 1997.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s super-satisfying for me to design these products and take them from a computer screen, have the parts carved out of chunks of metal, and then be able to use them and have thousands of people around North America use them out in the woods doing what they love to do,â&#x20AC;? Schaffer said. Concentrating on business, he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t competed in a big tournament since 2003. Among his honors, Schaffer said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a twotime Minnesota State Archery Association champion and finished second in the International Bowhunting Organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1997 world competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love everything about the sport,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve competed. I hunt actively all over North America. And it excites me when other people get involved in that and I and my employees can help them get there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In this day and age, when so much of our lives are electronic and synthetic, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing more real than getting out in the woods and sticking an arrow through a live animal and filling your freezer with it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about as real as it gets.â&#x20AC;?

With coaching situation settled, Eagan football moves on Hanson prepares for first season on Wildcats’ sideline by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
There’s nothing Ben Hanson can gain by looking back, so his priority is preparing for the future. In the spring, Eagan High School’s football coaching search played out like a soap opera. The Wildcats thought they had their coach when former University of Minnesota player Rickey Foggie accepted the job. About 10 days later, he withdrew – under pressure from administrators, he claimed – because of a social media indiscretion. Then, Foggie waged a public campaign to get back the job, but the school decided to hire another candidate. That candidate was Hanson, a former assistant coach at St. Thomas Academy, Bloomington Kennedy and Minnehaha Academy. He took over the Eagan program June 7. What happened before that had nothing to do with him, and he’s not wasting much time thinking about it. “Nothing’s perfect,” Hanson said Tuesday afternoon before one of the Wildcats’ summer workouts. “The unfortunate thing is someone left. When there’s a coaching change, you’re always coming in as someone else is departing. It’s never a great situation unless you’re replacing someone at the end of his career who’s retiring. “The biggest thing for me is focusing on the challenge of coming here in June, getting everything in line and not really focusing on what’s happened in the past. You’ve got to look forward, move forward.”
New Eagan football coach Ben Hanson directs players to their stations at a summer workout Tuesday afternoon. (Photo by Mike Shaughnessy) Hanson said he hasn’t talked about the coaching search process with his players, and doesn’t intend to. “We haven’t discussed what happened. We haven’t even discussed what happened on the field last year,” he said. “To me, Day 1, when I got here June 7, was the day we move forward. As far as anything that happened before I got here, it’s not my place to say anything.” The Wildcats, like many football teams in the south metro, are holding a weeklong summer camp this week. The first official day of fall practice is Aug. 15, and Eagan’s first game is at home against Stillwater on Sept. 1. There’s a lot to do, and not much time to do it, especially when you consider that Hanson took the job barely seven weeks ago. “The main part is getting (the players) involved and entrenched with our team motto and core values,” Hanson said. “We want to bring them together as a team and build that foundation now, as we get into camp.” The Wildcats have about 110 players in the program now, a number Hanson would like to see approach 130 by August. There are about 30 seniors on the team.
In a PowerPoint presentation he made at a football booster club meeting, Hanson said he wanted to use the zone read scheme on offense that has become popular in high school and college programs, and has become something even NFL teams use occasionally. It’s not unlike what the Wildcats used under former head coach Rick Sutton. Hanson said he wants to keep things up-tempo, and you might see the Wildcats go with a no-huddle attack. In his presentation, he said he’s likely to use the 4-3 as his base defense. Hanson’s staff needs to teach the offensive and defensive principles to his players in a hurry, but the head coach said he’s used to that. “Our offense and defense have been installed at other programs. The other coaches I’ve brought in with me have been through this scenario before,” Hanson said. “Through those experiences, it’s allowed us to simplify things as much as possible. We know these kids have other things – they have school, other sports, family and friends. Keeping things as simple as possible is not only the best way to learn it, but to retain it.” In many cases, Hanson said, they’re trying to
reduce a description to one key word, so a player doesn’t have to spend a lot of time on the field processing information. Hanson said the digital age helps accelerate learning because players can study on their own. “We use Hudl, PowerPoint and Google Share to get information out to players, so they don’t just have to rely on being here with us,” he said. “When I played 20-some years ago, we were still looking at VHS for film. Everything else was pen to paper, even playbooks. Now, anything we want to get to the kids, with the advent of technology, we can get it to them.” Many of the Eagan players kept up their conditioning even though they didn’t know would coach them. “A lot of these guys did well,” Hanson said. “It’s usually the younger guys you have to watch out for as they’re starting to learn to work out year-round. If you look at the leadership group of juniors and seniors, we have a lot of multi-sport athletes, which I think is great. “The aspect of staying in shape is kind of ingrained in the kids in general. It’s more a matter of nurturing it rather than introducing it.” After they get ready to play, the Wildcats’ biggest challenge may be competing in their subdistrict, which has three teams (Rosemount, Lakeville North and Lakeville South) that have played in the prep bowl in the last decade. Before district football was introduced, Eagan played rugged schedules in the South Suburban and Lake Conferences. Sutton came to Eagan in 2006 having won state championships in his previous stop at Mankato West, but his Wildcat teams had two winning
seasons in 10 years (both 6-5). That speaks to the competition the Wildcats faced, and will continue to face. “There’s a lot of good competition, a lot of good coaches in this district,” Hanson said. “We have coaches with experience in the district that we’re bringing in or are already on staff. We’re very familiar with our opponents.” Hanson’s staff includes Dick Weinberger, a former head coach at De La Salle and Bloomington Kennedy. He will be the Wildcats’ offensive line coach and running game coordinator. Offensive coordinator Chris Black and defensive coordinator George Ashfield are new to the Eagan program, but the staff has a number of other assistant coaches who work at Eagan High School. That’s important because Hanson won’t be in the building much during the day; he will be an English teacher in the Shakopee district for the 2016-17 school year. Hanson said he’s hoping he can be brought on staff in District 196 by the fall of 2017. Hanson said the infrastructure is in place for Eagan to win. “They’ve always had talent. We competed against Eagan back when some of us were coaching at Bloomington Kennedy,” Hanson said. “They had the two Zenner brothers (Zach, currently with the Detroit Lions, and Sam, who’s playing at South Dakota State) come through, and they’ve had other really good players. “The talent is there, and right now there are more than 2,400 students in this building. This definitely is a challenge worth taking on.” Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.
State Amateur champ maintains ties to Crystal Lake Lakeville course was first place Uloth stopped after he won by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Before Alex Uloth became the Minnesota State Amateur champion he was “little Alex,” a range rat at Crystal Lake Golf Course in Lakeville. It was on the practice tee at Crystal Lake that teaching professional Sh-
Notebook: New AD hired at Apple Valley
eryl Maize helped Uloth hone his game, starting when he was 9 years old, or “back when he was shorter than me,” Maize said. Uloth, a five-time letter-winner at Burnsville High School and the South Suburban Conference boys golf medalist in 2012, was not regarded as one of the favorites in last week’s State Amateur at North Oaks Golf Club. But he made people notice with a 63 in the first round July 18, tying a tourna-
ment record. Two days later he won the 113th State Amateur – and perhaps became the first to do it with an eagle on the final hole to win by one stroke. “I don’t want to sound arrogant, but I’ve been waiting for him to break through and play like this on a bigger stage,” Maize said. Maize was not able to watch Uloth’s final round in person because she was giving lessons at Crystal Lake. Not long after the tournament ended, Uloth
showed up at Crystal Lake with the State Amateur trophy in tow, startling his instructor. “He said, ‘Yeah, this is the first place I came,’ ” Maize said. “Of course, I had to have some photos with Alex and the trophy. I was crying. He probably won’t want to admit it, but I think he was crying, too.” Uloth had some struggles in the final round – at one point he made backto-back double bogeys as his four-shot lead disap-
Virgil Jones, an administrator at Rosemount High School since 2013, has been named assistant principal and athletics director at Apple Valley High School. Jones was dean of students and ninth grade coordinator at Rosemount. He will replace Pete Buesgens, who recently became assistant principal for curriculum and student services at Apple Valley. Buesgens had been athletics director at Apple Valley for eight years. Buesgens said his new job has duties he will need on his resume if he wants to be a principal in the future. Apple Valley won state championships in wrestling every year of Buesgens’ tenure as well as two state championships in boys basketball. Before coming to School District 196, Jones worked in the dean of students offices at the University of St. Thomas and Gustavus Adolphus College. He has a bachelors degree in communications from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, a master’s in leadership in student affairs from the University of St. Thomas and an education specialist degree in educational leadership from Minnesota State, Mankato. Jones, a Milwaukee native, played on three conference championship football teams at UW-La Crosse.
Joining the fun in Fargo During one week in July, Fargo, N.D., is the gathering place for some of the nation’s top young wrestlers. Several from Dakota County joined the festivities at the USA Wrestling Junior and Cadet National Championships. Two state high school champions from Farmington, Victor Gliva and Taylor Venz, were among the wrestlers participating. Gliva, who won the state Class 3A 113-pound title last winter, didn’t place at 126 in the junior freestyle division at nationals but won five of his seven matches. Four of his victories were by technical fall. Venz, a state champion at 182, won two of his four matches in the same weight class in the junior freestyle division at nationals. Gliva and Venz graduated in June. Gliva will wrestle for Augsburg College while Venz will wrestle for the University of Nebraska. Nate Larson of Apple Valley went 1-2 at 132 in the junior freestyle division. The Eagles’ Tony Watts was 3-2 at 170 and Prince Hyeamang went 2-2 at 182. Farmington’s Trayton Anderson wrestled at 106 in the cadet freestyle division and was 2-2. Sebas Swiggum of Apple Valley was 4-2 at 126 in cadet freestyle. Brady Gross of Apple Valley was 2-2 at 126. Farmington’s Gliva also wrestled in the junior Greco-Roman tournament at 126 and was 5-2, with three victories by technical fall. Kyle Rathman of Apple Valley was 1-2 at 132. Gross was 4-2 at 126 in cadet Greco-Roman, while Swiggum went 2-2.

Apple Valley writer set for premiere of his debut play by Andrew Miller
ally bring them to life. We have a fantastic group of actors who seem to have grasped the essence of their characters. Step Three: Have an experienced director who can put the story together on the stage. We have a professional director/ actress (Robin Johnson) who has been directing plays in the Twin Cities for many years. Step Four: Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse until the cast and crew operate as one. Rehearsals have been going great and there is an excitement in the air among the cast and crew. There is going to be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Riotâ&#x20AC;? at the Steeple Center and I think our audience is going to love it. Q: What are you working on now? Any other book or play projects in the works? A: My editor is just finishing up the editing of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Debris,â&#x20AC;? which is my trilogy centered in Palm Springs, California. I describe the series this way: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Palm Springs is haunted by the rich, the famous and the broken. This is their story.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Debrisâ&#x20AC;? will be out by this September in print and as an e-book. I have a suspense thriller novel, now in treatment form, that I am anxious to get out of my head and on paper. I have treatments for five new plays that I am currently fleshing out and will select one or two to write this fall, with the goal of having them produced this winter or next summer.

Apple Valley writer Denis J. LaComb is venturing into new literary territory with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Riot at Sage Corner.â&#x20AC;? LaComb, who started writing full time a few years ago while on the cusp of retirement from his video production business, has authored several novels, including the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Apache Death Windâ&#x20AC;? trilogy of Western fiction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Riot at Sage Cornerâ&#x20AC;? marks LaCombâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debut as a playwright. The play, which will be staged by the Rosemount Area Arts Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior theater group Aug. 25-26 at Rosemountâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Steeple Center, is set at a seniorliving community and follows a free-spirited aging hippie named Sage and her run-ins with the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self-appointed rule-enforcer. LaComb said the play is his attempt to examine the aging process from the perspective of individuals living it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many of us who lived through the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;60s and are at â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;that ageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; have a wealth of life experiences to draw upon,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t intend to stop exploring our lives and what the aging process means to us. For most, it is radically different from other generations who accepted the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;long slow slide of agingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as inevitable. In the case of Sage, she is going to deal with the aging process in her own way.â&#x20AC;? This newspaper spoke with LaComb recently about the writing process
Denis J. LaComb behind â&#x20AC;&#x153;Riot at Sage Corner,â&#x20AC;? the inspiration for the character Sage, and whether or not playwrights, like some actors, get butterflies in their stomachs before a production opens. Q: Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve published a number of novels, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;Riot at Sage Cornerâ&#x20AC;? is your first play. What prompted you to tackle writing a play? A: The readers of my novels have always complimented me on the dialogue in them. After several asked if I wrote plays, I started listening to what they were saying. Now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve written several plays and screenplays. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Riot at Sage Cornerâ&#x20AC;? provided me a real-life scenario to examine, and thanks to the Rosemount Area Arts Council, a venue in which to bring my story to life. Q: The character Sage is an aging hippie in a senior-living facility who bristles at the rigid rules and is given to disruptive antics. Is there a real-life inspiration for Sage? A: Sage is a composite of many of the strong women I knew back in the
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;60s. She is strong-willed, but has a sense of humor. She is compassionate, but has her own problems to worry about. Like most of us, Sage is a complex person to understand. Q: Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve mentioned on your blog (denisjlacomb.blogspot.com) that there was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;lava lamp of images swirling in my headâ&#x20AC;? as the story that became â&#x20AC;&#x153;Riot at Sage Cornerâ&#x20AC;? was taking shape. What was the writing process like for the play? Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the secret to turning an amorphous mass of thoughts into a coherent narrative? A: I use writing software called Final Draft 9. This allows me to write dialogue quickly and efficiently â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with the proper spacing, titling, etc. Therefore I am able to imagine a scene happening, on stage, and then to very quickly write down and capture what my characters are saying.
I go over their words, sentences and paragraphs many times afterwards, but only to refine whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been spoken and not change the heart of what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve said. The secret, quite simply, is to capture those images and voices in your head as quickly as you can. Q: What are the challenges associated with writing a play compared with writing a novel? A: Even though weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just entered the rehearsal stage of the play production, I am struck by the importance of the words spoken. Dialogue must deliver. It must define, examine, explain and lay out for the audience who these characters are and the motivations behind their actions. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found that it can be deceiving to read your own dialogue and think that it speaks to an audience. Readings of your play by individuals who
are coming to it cold is a critically important means to examine the written word â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and give its author a chance to improve upon it. Q: With the premiere of your play set for next month, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your mindset? Do playwrights, like some actors, get butterflies in their stomachs as opening night nears? A: Trust me, the butterflies are starting to fly faster and faster in the pit of my stomach. Any parent will understand that writing a play or novel is like giving birth. Now the play is about to grow up and as a parent I am still worried. However, I think I have tried to follow a process to help keep my stress to minimum levels. Step One: Have a great story to tell. I think I do that with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Riot at Sage Corner.â&#x20AC;? Step Two: Get the right actors to play certain char- Email Andrew Miller at acters so that they can re- andrew.miller@ecm-inc.com.

FORUM, from 1A â&#x20AC;&#x153;It starts with leadership,â&#x20AC;? Isaacs said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Children want to be able to look up to adults that relate to them and their background.â&#x20AC;? Angrimson pointed to literacy collaborative initiatives, which provide early intervention for students who struggle to read, as the best way to ensure all students are meeting their education goals. When asked how the district can address the achievement gap while maintaining other programming, such as the gifted and talent program, Atherley said he will ensure funds are dedicated to both programs. He said he believes family involvement is a major component to closing the achievement gap. Millea said he plans to ensure all students are challenged by their academics and reach their full potential. Brekken said she believes the district is already making strides in both these areas and will work to continue this progress. Dahling pointed to space and funding constraints as a challenge to providing and expanding gifted and talented programs.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The gifted and talent program often doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the space to accommodate all of those who should be there,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our hands are tied by state mandates and funding.â&#x20AC;? Angrimson and Isaacs said they will work to ensure all children are meeting their full potential and plan to research whether gifted and talented programs are struggling and how to resolve the issue. When asked about their position on the Minnesota basic skills standards, all candidates agreed that basic skills evaluations are important but that one test alone doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accurately measure a studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance. The candidates took slightly different approaches on whether the district should implement later start times for high school students. Atherley, a large proponent of later start times noted that studies have shown better academic performance among students who begin class later in the morning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It allows students to get better rest and better in sync with their sleep cycles,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It works for other districts, not just locally, but across the country.â&#x20AC;? Brekken said she sup-
ports the concept of later start times for high school students but that the board must consider other factors, such as transportation and after school activities, before implementing the change. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea, but we need to be careful,â&#x20AC;? she said. Dahling, Millea and Isaacs agreed with Brekken, adding that district officials must consider the cost and whether such a change would potentially affect elementary students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The benefit of a few canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be at the detriment of others. I trust that the (current) board has looked at the big picture,â&#x20AC;? Isaacs said. The current School Board has in recent years voted against changing start times. Angrimson said he believes that if, elected, he would be able to find a solution that would enable the district to implement early start times for high school students while mitigating negative impacts on other grade levels. When asked their opinion of the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial management, Brekken said she believes the district has been prudent with its finances.

to stay in the black, Brekken said that this is due to unexpected expenditures and inadequately funded mandates. She also noted that last year, the district added to its general fund balance. Angrimson agreed, saying that â&#x20AC;&#x153;dipping into resources is a necessary evil to keep the district as one of the best districts.â&#x20AC;? When examining the $30 million tax levy referendum voters passed in 2013, Brekken said she believes the money has been put to good use and that the board â&#x20AC;&#x153;doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask for levies lightly.â&#x20AC;? Isaacs and Millea said they supported the levy because it funds improvements to aging infrastructure and technology, which they say will help the district become a world-class district. Atherley said he supports the funding to improve buildings in the district, but said the funding of new technology should be examined. Dahling had a more critical look at the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial management, saying he has â&#x20AC;&#x153;an issueâ&#x20AC;? with the district borrowing from its reserves and plans to look into the â&#x20AC;&#x153;hugeâ&#x20AC;? levy referendum.

formance measures for teachers, all the candidates said they support some form of performance pay but cautioned against tying teacher performance to test scores alone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to look at many sets of factors,â&#x20AC;? Isaacs said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Only after we feel we have accomplished an equitable way to measure performance should we implement pay for performance.â&#x20AC;? Millea agreed and added that pay for performance needs to not only be a way to evaluate existing teachers, but an incentive when recruiting teachers. Angrimson said he believes the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Quality Compensation Law, also known as Q-Comp, is an effective measure of performance. The law was passed in 2005 and provides additional funding to Minnesota school districts that chose to participate in the program which supports alternative teacher compensation based on performance and professional development opportunities. When considering Gov. Daytonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal to provide free all-day early childhood education programs in all Minnesota school districts, the District 196 candidates said
they will support all-day pre-K programming only if it is adequate funding by the state. Isaacs said he believes early childhood education is important for many children succeed but not required for all and that young children also learn from free play. He also expressed concerns that if the Legislature were to pass such a requirement whether it would be adequately funded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have an unfunded initiative,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look at a school board and say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your problem, deal with it.â&#x20AC;? Atherley, Angrimson, Brekken, Millea and Dahling agreed, saying they are concerned District 196 doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the financial resources or space to provide all-day pre-K. Additionally, Millea noted that early childhood programming already exists for those who need it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to give kids a head start, which is why we have the Head Start program,â&#x20AC;? Millea said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For some kids, it may not be necessary, but for others itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vital.â&#x20AC;? Jessica Harper is at jessica. harper@ecm-inc.com or facebook.com/sunthisweek.
