Updated technology improves communication, learning in District 196 by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

As Sept. 5, the first day of school, fast approaches, the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District is putting the final touches on a technological makeover and rebranding campaign. On Wednesday, Aug. 23, District 196 launched a new website. Communications Director Tony Tas-

chner said the WordPressbased site is designed for the people who use it the most: parents and students. The site is mobileresponsive and aims to make commonly searched information easy to find. Each individual school will continue to run its own website. All schools have been asked, however, to format their websites in a way that will bring uniformity and cohesion

to the district’s online presence. The district has recommended consistent standards for features such as navigation and quick links. Although the district site has been designed to streamline everyday use, the site may have seemed slow for at-home users this week as it was undergoing maintenance and testing through Thursday, Aug. 24. The district promised

to send an alert when the site had been tested and become fully functional. The new website is not the only technological change. In July, the district switched over to a new student information system called Synergy Education Platform. The new system includes a parent portal that allows parents to create an account, log in and update their own contact infor-

mation. Parents can also access the meal accounts, grades and FeePay accounts for their students through the portal. The district simplified the transition by simultaneously switching to a new alert system called SchoolMessenger. Converting to both new systems at the same time allowed for one cohesive data upload.

brud have served as senior pastors. Claussen Gubrud leads the church today, along with Associate Pastor Steve Biedermann.

Mission and community service After every worship service, the church’s more than 800 members rededicate themselves to “Serving God and Community with Faith, Love and Open Arms.� To them, it’s much more than a mission statement – it’s a constant, living reminder of God’s example and the impact they can have in the world. There are many ways members give back to the community and world. For example, the church’s Spirit Bound ministry produced musicals and dramas every year from 1986 to 2010. The cast and crew – which ranged in ages from 15 to 75 – rehearsed throughout the year and performed all over the metropolitan area. It also took the show on the road, organizing annual 10-day performance tours across dif-

ferent parts of the United States and Canada. Members often reminisce about home stays, church performances and tours to Disney World, the Washington Monument, a glacier in Canada’s Jasper National Park and more. A recent 30th anniversary reunion included more than 100 people from ages 23 to 81; some came from as far away as California and Florida to participate. The church is proud to partner with several community groups to promote community and faith development. Casa de Oracion, founded in 2003 by Brother Robert Dewane, has met and worshiped at Christus Victor every Sunday afternoon since 2004. Lily of the Valley, an African Methodist Episcopal congregation founded in 2007 by the Revs. Dr. Alphonse Reff and William Smith, has held worship services at Christus Victor on Sunday evenings since 2006. The church also works with nearby Greenleaf Elementary School. Congregation members provide school supplies, winter clothing, food, tutoring and more to students and their families, all in the name of helping more students from all backgrounds achieve in the classroom. Christus Victor also has partners around the world. It sponsors orphans through the Kids Alive orphanage and school in the Dominican Republic, and sends a group there to work with the kids at least once every other year. The church also partners with the Mlowa Parish in Tanzania. Since 2000, the congregation has sponsored hundreds of students to attend secondary school, supported the construction of multiple church buildings, developed an agricultural program and purchased bicycles for members and a motorcycle for the pastor. Six

groups from Christus Victor have visited Tanzania in that time to help in this work with their own hands.

All ages and backgrounds growing in faith Christus Victor is known among churches in the community for its dedication to intergenerational ministry. Events, services and groups bring together people of varying ages to learn from and mentor one another. A new cross-generational Sunday education format will debut this fall to further galvanize the congregation. Additional events such as brewpub gatherings foster a sense of fellowship regardless of age and background. The church also stands out for its variety of worship and music styles. “In any given week, we hold traditional or contemporary services and a Wednesday ‘Recharge’ service that’s a blend of Americana and gospel,� said Claussen Gubrud. “Our partner congregations, Casa de Oracion and Lily of the Valley, also meet here weekly. We do all we can to help everyone grow in their faith, no matter who they are and where they come from.� “We’ve had a lot more ups than downs over the years,� said Roy McQuin, 93, who was a charter member of Christus Victor and has remained an active member throughout its history. “A lot of people take it upon themselves to do what needs to be done, and we’re very fortunate to have both of our pastors. It’s always felt like my home church, and I really enjoy being there.� For more information on Christus Victor Lutheran Church and its ongoing service to the community, visit www. christusvictor.org or call 952-454-6927.

Historic monument could be revived in Rosemount after 26 years Chief Waukan-ojan-jan was a Dakota leader by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

With recent discussions surrounding historical statues, one forgotten memorial in Dakota County could be put back up. Joe Atkins, Dakota County Commissioner in District 4, hopes Chief Waukan-ojan-jan’s monument will be reinstalled next summer near its original location after 26 years in storage. The Dakota County Commission applied grant money from the Minnesota Legacy Fund to revive a monument honoring Chief Medicine Bottle/Waukan-ojan-jan, who was also known a “Spirit Light� or “Holy Light,� at its original location northeast of the Highway 52/55 intersection in Pine Bend on the boarder of Inver Grove Heights and Rosemount. “I remember it as a kid,� Atkins said. “I remember seeing it whenever we drove by and my dad would sometimes stop to look at it.� The chief was a leader and medicine man of a Mdewakanton band of a Dakota at Pine Bend in the early 1800s. He earned the name Chief Medicine Bottle by early settlers of Rosemount because he wore a small medicine bottle around his neck. A monument was constructed by

the National Youth Administration and Pine Bend 4-H club in mid 1940s, but when the 117th Street bridge was being reconstructed in 1991, it was moved, according to Atkins. “That’s when the mystery began,� Atkins said. “I don’t know who’s responsibility it was to put it back up, but it was never put back up.� So Atkins went looking for the monument in 2015. He’s currently the District 4 commissioner, which covers both Inver Grove Heights and Rosemount, but when began his search when he was serving in the Minnesota House of Representatives in District 52B in Inver Grove Heights. He enlisted the help of the Minnesota Department of Transportation who sent him to officials with Dakota County and members of the Flint Hills Resources. “One story I got was that it was dismantled,� Atkins said. “Stone was taken and used for a different monument in Pine City. That would have been really sad. Thankfully that wasn’t the case.� He said almost simultaneously he received a call from the county and from a local hiker who said it was in a maintenance area stored at Shaar’s Bluff in Hastings. “It’s in reportedly in good condition and stored well,� Atkins said. “That’s where it was all these years,

I guess.� The county requested a Minnesota Legacy Fund grant in April. County staff is working to finalize an easement with Flint Hills Resources to place the historical marker near its original location along the Mississippi River Trail east of 111th Street on land owned by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. “It would be a fantastic stopping point for walkers and bikers,� Atkins said. “It really tells the history of this area. When we’re no longer here to tell the story, his story will still be told.� He said he’s heard from longtime neighbors of the monument who are thrilled that it could be put back up. The county will hear about its Minnesota Historical and Cultural Heritage Grant after Sept. 15, which is when applications are due. The rest of the funding for the installation would be part of 2018 CIP program budget. “As we’ve learned in recent weeks, monuments matter,� Atkins said. If the grant is approved, Atkins expects it to be reinstalled next summer. “From the ashes it may rise,� Atkins said.

Land Conservation Program accepting 2018 applications The Dakota County Board of Commissioners has provided property owners with an opportunity to protect land and water by authorizing a 2018 solicitation for new natural area protection, wetland restoration, and water retention projects. Those interested in applying for this voluntary program need to complete a preliminary application and submit it by Sept. 15. Eligible property owners will be asked to complete a final application after meeting with program staff. Landowners with substantial natural areas, unique features or rare species, wetlands, degraded wetlands, shoreline, or areas that would serve well for retaining more water on the landscape are encouraged to apply for permanent land protection.

Funding continues to be made available to preserve and protect open spaces in Dakota County. The county works with willing landowners to permanently protect private land by acquiring conservation easements or working with other public partners to purchase the land. Through collaboration, grants and landowner donation, the county has leveraged more than $56.7 million to protect over 11,000 acres of land valued at over $76.3 million. General information and pre-applications for natural resource protection are available on the Dakota County website at www.co.dakota.mn.us, search “Land Conservation.� For more information, contact Lisa West at 952-891-7018.

August 25, 2017 SUN THISWEEK - Apple Valley

Opinion Job market strong, but too much potential is untapped Job statistics can be mercurial, especially the more often you measure them. One month’s job-loss chill can be followed by a white-hot month of gains. But the overall trajectory in Minnesota is unmistakable — this state is wide open for business. In the eight years since the Great Recession officially ended, Minnesota has added 314,261 jobs, an 11.7 percent increase that matches the national rate, according to the state’s Department of Employment and Economic Development. A seasonally adjusted gain of 4,400 jobs in June pushed the labor market to new heights. In part because of a weak report last June, year-over-year job gains totaled 77,478, or 2.6 percent — the largest gain since May 1998, at a growth rate not seen in nearly six years. Minnesota’s unemployment rate is 3.7 percent, below the nation’s 4.4 percent, and its share of employment among the working-age population is at its highest level since January 2009, DEED reported last month. Many people in Koochiching and Itasca counties have reason to worry about their prospects, with unemployment rates of 7.8 percent and 6.9 percent, respectively. They’re a far cry from the 2.7 percent in Eden Prairie and Roches-

ECM Editorial This is the fourth installment in an editorial series called The Changing Face of Minnesota. This year, the ECM Publishers Editorial Board is examining demographic changes and disparities in Minnesota that center around race, wealth, age, region and employment. ter or the 2.5 in Northfield. Regional disparities are often affected by plant closings in smaller communities or the vicissitudes of industries such as mining and timber, whose booms and busts are facts of life in northern Minnesota. Seemingly as predictable, and more statistically significant, is the nagging problem of underdeveloped human capital in Minnesota’s minority communities. Despite June’s excellent job gains, racial employment disparities actually rose slightly, DEED reported. Black Minnesotans’ unemployment rate rose from 8.1 percent in April and May to 8.4 percent. Hispanic unemployment rose from 5.3 percent to 5.5 percent. White unemployment held steady at 3.1 percent.

The Twin Cities metro area has the highest proportion of working adults among the nation’s 25 largest metro regions. But 13 percentage points separate the share of working non-Hispanic whites from that of people of color, reports the Itasca Project, a business-led civic alliance. The gap ranks the Twin Cities near the bottom of the 25 metro areas. Gaps in employment and income persist even when education is considered. Unemployment among black high school graduates is three times higher than among white high school graduates, the Itasca Project says. Among blacks with bachelor’s degrees or higher, the unemployment rate is double that of whites with similar education. Growth in the Twin Cities labor force absorbed the post-recession job demands but is projected to slow in the next decade as the population ages. Though it would have seemed unthinkable eight years ago, employers and state officials are now grasping for ways to fill jobs in an ever-tightening labor market. To capture and retain workers at a time when the region’s diversity is growing, DEED advises employers to lower barriers impeding nonwhite workers and other populations, including the dis-

abled, youth and people with less education. Schools, both high schools and secondary, should sharpen their focus on career-aware counseling and programs. An example is the new career Pathways program at Burnsville High School, which clusters coursework into strands that allow students to explore professional fields and even begin credentialing work. Too many minorities with post-secondary degrees, particularly blacks, wind up in temporary jobs or other low-wage work, which depresses their earnings as a group. But when blacks are able to find jobs in industries related to their majors, wage disparities disappear, according to DEED. People of color comprise 24 percent of the Twin Cities region’s working-age population; their ranks are projected to grow to 50 percent by 2050. Without a virtuous cycle of inclusive education, training, recruitment, employment and advancement, Minnesota’s economy will fall short of its potential. This is an opinion of the ECM Editorial Board. Sun Thisweek and the Dakota County Tribune are part of ECM Publishers Inc.

Free, fantastic publication for families, students and educators by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Minnesota families looking for something creative, challenging and fun for their children have a free, terrific resource: this year’s edition of “Reach for the Stars.” This is a catalogue of, as the publishers put it, “More than 100 academic programs, challenges, competitions, events and enrichment activities for Minnesota K-12 students.” The booklet also is a great guide for educators who want to help students explore, deepen or expand their interests. You can download and/or order free copies at http://bit.ly/2vjhnCJ Whether a young person is interested in agriculture, art, business, current events, duck stamps, fuel efficient vehicles, government, languages, LEGO,

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Joe Nathan math, mock trials, music, philosophy, the stock market, writing, or dozens of other areas, this booklet describes programs that will provide enrichment, challenge and in some cases, competition. Some of the programs are free, and some have a modest fee. Some are open to individuals, while others involve teams. “Reach for the Stars” is produced by the Synergy & Leadership Exchange, based in North Mankato. Lifetouch

Photography sponsors the colorful, 60page booklet. Barb Bergseth, of the Synergy & Leadership Exchange, told me that the booklet has been published for “nearly 30 years.” Bergseth sent an email explaining that Zona Sharp Burke, former executive director of Minnesota Academic Excellence Foundation, told her “it started out as a poster of academic enrichment activities. … The Reach for the Stars theme was selected for its dual meanings: for educators to find and reach their star students and for these students to aim high, to reach for the stars. When MAEF was disbanded, Synergy & Leadership Exchange (formerly known as the Center for Academic Excellence) took over producing Reach for the Stars.” “Reach for the Stars” is a wonder-

ful example of educator, community and business collaboration. I’ve written about previous editions but the current one is even more “user friendly” than previous publications. It’s easy to find programs geared to young people of various ages, with particular interests. The Synergy & Leadership Exchange will send free copies of the booklet to families and to educators. Looking through “Reach for the Stars” and helping a young person pick one or two activities to check out seems like a great way to start a new school year.

Letters Unique coverage offered To the editor: The blank front page of last week’s issue was a novel idea. The caption for our consideration, “Imagine If There Was No Newspaper,” was consistent with the editorial theme expressed by guest contributors. There might have been a more effective caption that better reflects the current trend in news in general, and newspapers specifically. The caption on the otherwise blank front page could have read “ Imagine If There Was No News Worth Printing.” The typical 1/2 hour newscast by local TV stations is usually composed a hot breaking news item, then advertisements taking up almost half the allotted time. The remaining time is almost always filled with a grossly expanded weather report, and a sports section that simply amounts to free advertis-

ing for professional sports. Any left over time is filled with trivial sound bits. The reality is that there usually is about 10 minutes or less of “news.” The major local newspapers provide a similar experience daily with half the paper composed of advertisements and fill-ins from police and accident reports. There is always a whole section devoted to professional sports with details that I suspect the vast majority of readers could care less about. Again this amounts to free advertisements for the NFL, MLB, and other pro sports. Often major editorials are borrowed from columnists for major New York or Washington newspapers which have little sensitivity for the mood or attitudes of Minnesota readers. Rarely, is there any news or items of local community interest. This bring us to Sun Thisweek and the Dakota County Tribune publications. Here, we are uniquely presented with a newspaper that is designed to

focus on bringing community news to readers. We have the unique opportunity to read about items that truly affect readers. Here is where information is news, not a rehash sensationalized events or a continuous repeat of biased national political arguments (admittedly the Letters to the Editor section is usually very biased). The local publication fills a significant gap in news coverage by being the only press that lets us see our local community. Thanks for your unique coverage. MIKE GERKIN Apple Valley

love, and compassion. Every day, I try to remember that feelings or thoughts of anger or hatred aimed toward people who appear to be filled with anger and hatred only spread anger and hatred. I believe that remembering love and compassion are the best defense against things as unpleasant as those I mentioned above. I try to avoid namecalling because I believe it’s the first step toward a dark path. When I think of someone as an “idiot,” I sometimes am mindful that anger is present (admittedly, remembering that compassion is more powerful than anger is an ongoing challenge for me). I hope next week will be better for the people of the world than the last. I hope that one day, no one will have to live in fear.

campaign

it was for him to “plant” information through a friend that he knew today’s press would run with very little study or background. In conclusion, it was very sad to see this Whiteout campaign and a U.S senator almost totally ignore the ramifications of having a dishonest press (on both sides) that we see today. I ask the senator: What good is a free press if we can’t believe it, and if its goals are to “make” the news for its own purposes and not to honestly report it like your father did? MIKE McGRAW Rosemount

The best part of my day

Make it ‘were,’ not ‘was,’ in front-page message To the editor: Many thanks to the Minnesota Newspaper Association for increasing our appreciation of the localized press. Many newspapers, including Sun Thisweek in Burnsville/Eagan, used a mostly blank first page in last week’s edition. However, in its one sentence on this mostly blank first page, the newspaper made a glaring grammar gaffe that has sent shock waves throughout the metropolis, even to the point of causing many of my former Burnsville High School students to be hospitalized for subjunctive-mood trauma. It seems that using “were” instead of “was” in a hypothetical thought after the word “if ” would be a wholly insignificant concern — a triviality only a nerd like me would notice. Apparently, insignificance is not the case here. Already, nearby communities such as Bloomington have broken off diplomatic relations with Burnsville, and not a single one of my former Burnsville students has been released from the subjunctive-mood trauma ward. Therefore, to make this a better world and prevent further socio-linguistic tsunamis, I ask that our local Sun Thisweek staff do the right thing: Breathe in deeply, take long strides, and, in your next issue, print a front-page correction for this egregious error.

To the editor: Last week’s newspaper cover of “Imagine” was well timed, well said, much needed and most of all well done! A free press is not only guaranteed in our Constitution, it is a hallmark of a democratic republic — our Republic. The newspaper is the finest form of reporting to subscribers and citizens the current news of our time. Reporting is held at a higher standard for fact checking, and solid journalism. The feel of a paper in your hands, physically turning pages and reading the news rather than watching the news is for me one of the highlights of my day. In newsprint one can find not only bad news, but also news that can help improve quality of life through community calendars, tips and tricks for healthy living and games. Thank you again for DON GERLACH being my local paper who Burnsville brings me the news in 140 characters or more. You made my day with the cover!

To the editor: Last week’s Whiteout campaign and the accompanying three columns from our U.S senator and two longtime media professionals was a very sad indictment regarding the state of affairs within our media in the United States. What was particularly troubling was the letter from our Sen. Amy Klobuchar, regarding today’s media environment. It was headlined “Supporting a free press.” I wish the senator’s headline would have read “Supporting a truthful press.” But instead Klobuchar as well as the other two contributors almost totally ignored the state of today’s press that has been caught publishing multiple articles that have had to be retracted and we saw JUDY SANTIAGO testimony from an FBI di- Burnsville rector admitting how easy

A free Aug. 30 barbecue dinner event to kickoff a new multi-church season of AWANA youth ministry in Apple Valley runs 6-7:30 p.m. at Christ Church on Johnny Cake Ridge Road and McAndrews Road.

Early look at the District 196 school board candidates Eight will compete for three seats Nov. 7 in Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan

by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Eight candidates are competing for three seats, held by Art Coulson, Gary Huusko and Mike Roseen, in the Nov. 7 RosemountApple Valley-Eagan School Board election. All three incumbents are seeking re-election. Past candidate Craig Angrimson is also running. Four new candidates — Bianca Virnig, Brian Buechele, Daniel O’Neil and Rebecca Gierok — are running for the first time. Here are profiles of the candidates, in their own words.

Art Coulson Address: 12536 Everton Ave., Apple Valley Age: 56 Family: Wife, Laurie; daughters, Katie and Jesse (both graduated from ISD 196 Art Coulson schools) 1. Why do you want to be on the school board? I want to continue my work on the board and my service to the people of our district. The nine years I have spent on the school board have been both challenging and extraordinarily rewarding. Our board operates at a very high level and works well together to address the issues and challenges of overseeing the state’s fourth-largest school district. Our district has among the highest academic outcomes in the metro area while keeping administrative costs and property taxes comparatively low. RosemountApple Valley-Eagan is a destination district — new residents and businesses choose our district because of its high-quality schools and its well-educated workforce. I care deeply about ISD 196, its students, its families, employees and the communities they serve. None of this makes me any better

than my opponents. I just provide the information to give voters an idea about what drives me in my bid for re-election. 2. What experience do you bring to this position? How have your experiences prepared you to fulfill the responsibilities of a school board member? I was appointed to an open seat on the school board in February 2008 and won re-election in 2009 and 2013. During my tenure, I have worked collaboratively with the community, administration, staff and my fellow board members to tackle a number of challenges, including years of flat state funding. Before my election to the school board, I was an involved parent, volunteering in the classroom and serving on a number of districtwide committees. My career has been focused on communications, first as a journalist who wrote extensively about education issues, then in government, corporate and nonprofit public information roles. My wife and I have also owned a small business in the district for the past 11 years. I bring a well-rounded background in strategic planning, management and communications to the position and look forward to continuing my service to the people of the district. 3. What are the most important issues concerning the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District, and how would you address them? Stable, predictable funding for our district. State funding, which makes up the majority of our district’s operating budget, has failed to keep pace with inflation. We continue to work with legislators to ensure adequate funding for our schools while working closely with our administration and employee groups to ensure that we keep the biggest share of every dollar in the classroom and that we stay focused on our

primary goal: educating all of our students to their full potential. We also take a data-driven look at everything we do in the district, from the classroom to transportation, food service and building leases. We want to make sure that every dollar that taxpayers entrust to us is spent wisely and focused on our core mission. Our racially predictable achievement gap. This vexing issue is not unique to our district. We have aggressively attacked the problem in every building and in every classroom, and we have started to see some progress. We need to continue this work by ensuring that our workforce looks like the community it serves and by building cultural competence across our district so that all children learn at a high level. Our board has asked the superintendent and her cabinet to prepare hiring and succession plans so that we can be intentional about filling staff positions as they come open with the highest qualified candidates who best represent the communities we serve. We also continue to invest in technology that gives our teachers the data they need to tailor instruction to each learner and to identify gaps and trends at the classroom, school and district levels. We’ve added several “data days� to the district calendar to allow teachers and school leadership to step back and look for shared issues and to collaborate more closely. We have invested in programs that ensure access and increase participation in programs that prepare underrepresented students for college. As a district with high academic expectations, we all know that it is important to raise the achievement of all students while closing the achievement gap.

rie; daughter, Tara; son, Tyler (both children attended Woodland Elementary, Dakota Hills Middle School and are graduates of Eagan High School) 1. Why do you want to be on the school board? I’d like the opportunity to continue to work with the board and administration to Gary m a i n t a i n Huusko the high achievement standards of District 196 students, ensure educational opportunities and advancement for all students, and provide positive future opportunities for all students, all within the constraints of a responsible budget. 2. What experience do you bring to this position? How have your experiences prepared you to fulfill the responsibilities of a school board member? In addition to my leadership experience, I have experience working with budgets, including raising funds and cutting expenses when necessary, and working together with a variety of people and groups of people to successfully complete the responsibilities with which we were charged. I also have over 30 years of experience as a lawyer and am able to effectively communicate simple and complex issues and ideas. These experiences have prepared me to be able to understand the issues facing our district, our students, teachers, staff and the community and to help our students to continue to receive the best education we can provide. 3. What are the most important issues concerning the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District, and how would you address them? Gary Huusko The most important Address: 718 Bridle issues concerning the disRidge Road, Eagan trict continue to be fundAge: 60 ing and elimination of the Family: Spouse, Lau- achievement gap. Funding

continues to be a challenge due to underfunded mandates, inconsistent and insufficient funding from the Legislature and the rising costs of providing a quality education for our students. I take a reasoned and rational approach to financial issues our district faces to utilize our resources responsibly and will continue to communicate with our legislators to impress upon them the need for more stable and adequate education funding. I will continue to work tirelessly to provide the best education opportunities for our students within our budget limitations. I will also continue to support our teachers, administration, and staff in developing new and innovative programs to reduce and eliminate the achievement gap, including encouraging parents and children to become engaged early in the education process, and continue seeking ways to ensure our students are successful at every grade level and are successful in their posthigh school education and careers.

Mike Roseen Address: 879 Redwood Drive, Apple Valley Age: 66 Family: Married to wife Sharon for 41 years, two grown sons (both graduates of AVHS) 1. Why do you want to be on the school board? I am part of a school board that really cares about public education, and D i s t r i c t Mike Roseen 196. We work very well together. Based on my experience I want to continue to use my knowledge of district matters to make 196 as strong as it can be. I have 26 years of board experience that I can use to continue to be a strong voice for the taxpayers of 196. 2. What experience do

you bring to this position? How have your experiences prepared you to fulfill the responsibilities of a school board member? I have lived in District 196 for 41 years. I have an M.A. in public administration from Hamline University. I am retired after 31 years as a deputy sheriff with Hennepin County. I have served on every board committee and have held all leadership board positions. I have served as a board member for 26 years. I was board chair several times. Based on the experience and leadership positions, I have great insight and understanding of district 196. 3. What are the most important issues concerning the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District, and how would you address them? The budget will always be the most important issue. The budget drives everything we do. Without a well thought out budget, all the other issues — curriculum, classroom teaching, activities, employees, and everything else that uses the budget would not happen. We need to continue to offer the very best education we can, always working within the budget. Again, my experience will allow me to make sure we are getting the most from every taxpayer dollar, while still providing the educational opportunities that the district resident expect.

Craig Angrimson Address: 6054 Falcon Ridge Trail, Apple Valley Age: 61 Family: Wife, Gail; daughter, Rachel 1. Why do you want to be on the school board? W e moved to this district 25 Craig years ago Angrimson because of the excellent school sysSee 196, 8A

Brian Buechele

196, from 7A tem. I believe it is time for some fresh ideas on our board. I have shown my dedication to this district, and I will do research to make sound financial decisions. I want to give back to this great district. 2. What experience do you bring to this position? How have your experiences prepared you to fulfill the responsibilities of a school board member? My experience being on boards and panels gives me knowledge on setting realistic goals and working with others for a common cause. I am always asking citizens what needs to change to make our district better. I spend time finding out what are the hot topics of constituents. 3. What are the most important issues concerning the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District, and how would you address them? The main issues are keeping a balanced budget and trying to narrow the achievement gap. As far as budget, I do not want to ever lose a district employee due to funding. I am in constant contact with our legislators in St. Paul to express the importance of funding. Most of our funding come from the state level. I will work to make sure I do my part to get as much help as we can. The achievement gap is an ongoing problem. Our district is making headway, but we still have a ways to go. I believe we need to keep class sizes down. A better teacher-to-student ratio allows our teachers more time to teach. There are many other ideas also. There is no quick fix, but we can continue to progress.

Address: 16964 Eventide Way, Lakeville Age: 49 Family: Married, two sons and two daughters 1. Why do you want to be on the school board? I believe Brian every child Buechele can excel when given an opportunity. I also believe teachers are at the foundation of our community. I would like to do what I can to ensure the learning opportunity for all students and provide the parents, schools and teachers with the resource to maintain, preserve and promote the excellence of ISD 196. 2. What experience do you bring to this position? How have your experiences prepared you to fulfill the responsibilities of a school board member? I have experienced what it is to have children in the district. Seeing the benefits of learning, in the classroom and outside the classroom. Being successful working on the operations side of the technology field has given me the ability to apply logical and reasonable decisions, to provide an openness to listen and to ask questions. It has also shown me perseverance, to search for the source of a problem in order to solve it, or make process easier or operational again. My experience in real estate has provided experiences with buildings, legal findings, property rights, titles and contracts. I have realized positive negotiation, and the ability to translate benefits and identify

shortcomings can provide a beneficial resolution and useful experience for the parties involved. 3. What are the most important issues concerning the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District, and how would you address them? I believe an informed and engaged community provides for the most effective growth in student achievements. I will work with fellow board members to ensure every student receives the time and support needed to exceed. I will work to improve relationships between schools, teachers and the community. Parents, teachers, students and faculty all play a role in your child’s education. The line of communication must remain open, stay positive and be honest.

Rebecca Gierok Address: 124 Chaparral Drive, Apple Valley Age: 38 Family: My husband is Dan and we have three kids — Nathan, Eva and Owen. 1. Why do you want to be on the school board? As a resident of District Rebecca 196 for Gierok most of my life I’ve benefitted greatly from the education that I received whether it was at Woodland, Dakota Hills, or Eagan High. Now, as the mother of three schoolaged kids I continue to see the great gifts that our district has to offer and realize that it’s time for me to give back. I am excited at the chance to give my talent, time, and energy to

ensure that our teachers, staff, and students continue to flourish in our schools. 2. What experience do you bring to this position? How have your experiences prepared you to fulfill the responsibilities of a school board member? I’ve spent the last 12 years working full time at General Mills in a variety of functions, with most of my time being spent in Logistics/Supply Chain. During my time in a corporate culture I’ve learned the importance of working collaboratively across borders to find solutions for my customers, suppliers, and coworkers. That ability to listen, influence, and speak to a broad audience will be immediately applicable as a school board member where I’ll be called on to consider several different viewpoints and determine the most beneficial solution. I don’t know if anything prepares you more for a school board position than being a parent. I’m challenged and honored to be a mom to three talented and very different kids. On a daily basis they teach me patience, humor, kindness, and love. I know that they and all the kids in our district deserve a quality education that prepares them to be good citizens of the world in the future. 3. What are the most important issues concerning the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District, and how would you address them? I think that racial and religious tolerance is one of the most important issues facing the district right now. Our schools don’t look the same as they did 20 years ago when I graduated from

high school; in fact, they look even better with a level of diversity that enriches the experience for everyone. Diversity offers us the opportunity to listen thoughtfully and consider other viewpoints. We can incorporate these viewpoints into the learning environment and also allow all students to succeed at the same time. The school board is able to impact the environment in schools by approving the hiring of qualified staff to roles that are a match for them and the students and by working with the Superintendent to create an achievable mission for the district as a whole. Great work has been done already and I’m ready to learn more to help shape the future of our successful district.

Daniel Arthur O’Neil Address:1321 Carlson Lake Lane, Eagan Age: 56 Family: Father of four children in ISD 196. Divorced (children’s mom lives in the district, too). My father was a school superintendent and my mom was a teacher. 1. Why Daniel do you want Arthur to be on O’Neil the school board? As father of four students in the district (Brady, 17, Darby, 15, Logan, 14 and Landon, 11), I’m excited that our district is committed to a mission of having each student reach their full potential. As a taxpaying homeowner, I am aware that our board is

entrusted millions of dollars to deliver on that mission. As a former board member from another large district in Minnesota, I am aware that we are passing through challenging times both as a nation and in our educational system. We must work together to embrace our heritage and build on our success while we integrate new ideas and innovation. I look forward to the opportunity to serve for my family, for my neighbors, and our community. 2. What experience do you bring to this position? How have your experiences prepared you to fulfill the responsibilities of a school board member? I’m a former Army officer (major) and combat veteran. I have experience managing and directing strategic programs at leading organizations including the Walt Disney Co., Northwest Airlines and the Mayo Clinic. For more than a decade, I’ve volunteered on nonprofit boards across Minnesota. In addition, I served six years on the Rochester Public School Board. Together our board team revised our strategic plan, hired a new superintendent, made strategic investments in infrastructure, and successfully passed an operating referendum. Currently, at Mayo Clinic, I lead a team of project managers and business analysts bringing about innovative solutions that merge high technology with exceptional service. The school board fulfills three important functions for our district, including selecting and supporting the superintendent, creating and monitoring educational poliSee 196, 10A

Notebook: Leidner gets a chance with the Vikings by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

It didn’t necessarily happen the way he hoped, but Mitch Leidner is in the NFL. The former Lakeville South High School and University of Minnesota quarterback signed with the Vikings on Sunday and reported to their preseason workouts in Eden Prairie. Before getting the call from the Vikings, Leidner had been working out in the Twin Cities and helping at Lakeville South practices. He becomes the fifth quarterback in Vikings camp. The others are starter Sam Bradford, backups Case Keenum and Taylor Heinicke, and Teddy Bridgewater, who remains on the physically unable to perform list while recovering from a knee injury sustained in the 2016 preseason. The team isn’t likely to keep more than three on the active roster once the regular season starts, and much will depend on when Bridgewater is ready to come off the PUP list. As of Wednesday, the Vikings had not said whether Leidner would play in their preseason game against San Francisco at 7 p.m. Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium. The Vikings’ final preseason game is Thursday, Aug 31, against Miami, also at home. “I think I bring a lot of athleticism and size to the position,” Leidner (6-foot4, 230 pounds) told Vi-

kings.com. “I feel like I’m pretty smart and can get a quick understanding of what they’re trying to do on offense here and really understand the playbook. And hopefully the faster I can learn it, the quicker I can get out there and actually take some reps against the defense.” Leidner attended the Baltimore Ravens’ rookie minicamp and had tryouts with Detroit and Jacksonville, but the Vikings had been monitoring him. “He did good at the (NFL) combine; he did good at the workout over there,” head coach Mike Zimmer said on Vikings. com. “The big thing from his college tape is making sure he’s getting the ball to the right people, getting the ball out on time, making accurate throws. I think those are probably things he probably struggles with the most, being his accuracy. So that’s the big thing, getting out here and get timing with these receivers and be accurate.” At Minnesota, Leidner was second all-time with 590 completions and third in passing yards with 7,287. His 33 rushing touchdowns are the most in Gophers history by a quarterback.

Early returns Coaches say they pay little attention to rankings in general and almost none to rankings that come out before the season starts. But they’re good conversation-starters, so here goes: South Suburban Conference teams occupy

the top three spots in the Class 3A volleyball preseason rankings. Eagan is No. 1, which should be no surprise considering the Wildcats are coming off back-to-back state championships. Second is Prior Lake, a state tournament qualifier in 2016, and third is Lakeville North, which was Section 1 runner-up last year. The state coaches association, which does the volleyball rankings, also put SSC member Shakopee at No. 8. Lakeville South is sixth and Farmington 11th in the state Class AA girls cross country rankings. The top two individuals were predictable – Farmington’s Anna Fenske and Lauren Peterson, who finished first and second in the 2016 state meet. Lakeville North received honorable mention in the girls team rankings, and Lakeville South’s Brianne Brewster received honorable mention in the individual rankings. Rosemount is ninth in the boys Class AA cross country preseason rankings. Two South Suburban Conference runners were in the individual top 10 – Luke Labatte of Rosemount (seventh) and Trenton Allen of Eagan (ninth). Rosemount, the 2016 state runner-up, is first in the state Class AA girls soccer preseason rankings. Eagan is at No. 6 and Lakeville North is in a three-way tie for eighth. Eastview and Lakeville South received votes. Lakeville North was 10th

in the Class AA boys soccer rankings and Eastview received votes.

Burnsville AD moving to Edina Jeff Marshall, who has worked at Burnsville High School as a teacher, coach, counselor and currently activities director, is leaving to become dean of students at Edina High School. Marshall announced the move on the Burnsville activities department Twitter account (@BurnsvilleSport) on Tuesday. “With mixed emotions, I will be leaving BHS Activities to become the new Dean of Students at Edina High School,” he wrote. “It has truly been an honor and pleasure to have served the students of Burnsville High School for the past 20 years.” Marshall has been Burnsville’s activities director since August 2010. He did it first on a oneyear interim appointment before receiving the permanent position in 2011. A 1990 graduate of BHS, where he was an allconference and all-state swimmer, Marshall returned to his alma mater in 1997 to teach English. Later, he moved to the guidance office and was head guidance counselor before becoming activities director. A replacement for Marshall has not yet been announced.

Express, Bandits out of state tourney Elko falls in 20-inning marathon by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Officially, Elko played one game at the state Class B baseball tournament, but it was equivalent to more than two. The Express and Brooklyn Park tied a record for the longest state tourney game Sunday, playing 20 innings and more than six hours before Brooklyn Park pushed across a run to win 4-3 at Norwood and advance to the doubleelimination phase of the tournament. The loss ended the season for Elko, which finished 2914 in its first state appearance since 2014. Also losing in the first round were the Eagan Bandits, who fell to the St. Cloud Beaudreau’s Saints 8-0 on Sunday in Norwood. Elko took a 2-0 lead in the top of the third inning against Brooklyn Park. The Norsemen responded with two in the bottom of the fourth and the teams traded runs in the eighth. The game’s next run didn’t arrive for 12 more innings. If it’s possible to pitch a complete game in relief, then Elko’s Dylan Thomas, a Lakeville North High School graduate, did it. Thomas, the third Elko pitcher used in the game, came on in the eighth and pitched nine innings, holding Brook-

lyn Park to two hits and no runs. He had 10 strikeouts. Two Elko hitters, third baseman Kyle Kraska and center fielder Ash Larsen, had nine at bats each in the marathon. Left fielder Jason Grimm, a former Burnsville High School player, went 4-for8, including a double and home run, and drove in all three Elko runs. Two St. Cloud Beaudreau’s pitchers combined on a one-hitter in their team’s openinground victory over Eagan. Infielder Collin Olstad had the hit for Eagan, which played in the state tourney for the fifth time in six years.

Class C tourney The New Market Muskies advanced in the state Class C tournament with a 4-0 victory over Dumont on Sunday in a first-round game at Hamburg. The Class C tourney has 48 teams and is single-elimination. Next up for New Market is a game against Kimball at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 27, in Norwood. Nate Rost pitched a one-hitter with no walks and 10 strikeouts for New Market, which took the lead with a threerun third inning. Shortstop Scott Lyden, a former Apple Valley High School player, was 2-for-4 with one run scored and two driven in.

While I admittedly lack direct school board experience, I bring creativity, a fresh perspective and heart. 3. What are the most important issues concerning the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District, and how would you address them? Succession planning is a major issue for both the district and the school board. Most school board members do not have children currently attending school within the district and I would like to see that change. The current board members should be commended as they have dedicated decades’ worth of service to the district but we should begin to think about integrating new perspectives while being able to learn from those who have come before us. There are approximately 28,000 students in the district and only eight people expressed interest in running for the board. Now is the time to start to capitalize on that interest and begin to transition the board to the next generation of leaders. The achievement gap is another major issue facing the district. I believe looking at it holistically and not solely focusing on test scores can lead to some great ideas on how to close that gap. As someone new to the school board, I would continue to research and explore modern ideas on bridging the gap while supporting the work that is already in progress.

WEBSITE, from 1A “We are providing a system that meets increasing expectations by parents to get information quickly,� Taschner said. “We are dealing with people’s kids, and there is nothing more precious than that.� He said the new system will help improve communication between parents and administrators. “If there is information that you need to have as a parent, we will provide that when we have solid information,� he said. “The notification system gives us that ability to very quickly send phone calls to as many parents as we need to.� SOTAROL, from 1A

sushi. In addition to traditional and nontraditional sushi rolls, the extensive menu offers rice bowls and salads. Customers can choose from raw fish, cooked meats or vegetarian options. SotaRol also serves sliders, tater tots and other side dishes, as well as gluten-free chocolate chip cookies and Yogurt Lab ice cream. “There’s nothing bad in our food. We don’t use fillers,� Switz said. “We are offering people the quality that they would get at a high-end restaurant; we’re just delivering something to them quicker, faster and at a lower price point.� Switz and his business partner, Mikel Asp, began thinking of new restaurant

In addition to all the technological advancements outside the classroom, the district is bringing new technology inside the classroom. This is the second year of a threeyear implementation plan to provide a technological device to every student in grades four through 12. Students in grades 10, 11 and 12 will receive an iPad this year. The devices are available to students at no cost, and are funded by the November 2015 referendum. This distribution is a continuation of last year’s provisions for students in grades seven, eight and nine. “We’ve implemented

in a smart way,� Taschner said. “We had the vision for one-to-one access, and we looked at what would be the most effective way to implement it.� Taschner said students use iPads as a learning tool, just as they use other learning tools such as pencils or notebooks. The teacher manages the use of the device so that the students can enrich their education rather than distract themselves. Taschner said that through this process, students are learning how to be good digital citizens. “Education is changing. The teacher isn’t standing at the front of the room all the time any-

more. Now, much more, it is small groups of people working together, and the teacher goes around and works with those groups,� he said. Taschner said that while technology can help with the modern classroom structure, it can also be intimidating or uncomfortable for teachers who are unfamiliar with the devices and their programs. Training and support from other teachers has helped make implementation successful across the board. Communication changes will extend beyond the cybersphere to the printed page. Taschner confirmed that the district newsletter, which is printed and sent

to every home, is also undergoing an update. Additionally, District 196 has developed a new logo that aims to symbolically unify all of its individual schools. Taschner said the logo is finalized and will be revealed at a picnic for District 196 staff on Tuesday, Aug. 29, at Eastview High School. Although many of the summer projects are wrapping up, Taschner says there is still work to be done on strategic communication. As the district works to improve its communication with parents and students, it is exploring options to share information with people who may be excluded. The

district is looking at ways it can improve its services for non-English speakers. Although the district does provide interpreters when necessary, it rarely provides translation. To best reach all parents, translation of documents, website material, newsletters and other mass communication is becoming a priority. Taschner said that with more than 100 languages spoken across the district, the focus languages will most likely be Spanish and Somali.

ideas in May 2014, after opening their second Agra Culture restaurant. As the business grew, Switz began envisioning a new line of fast-casual sushi restaurants. “I’d been to San Francisco and seen some of these concepts, like the sushi burrito,� Switz said. “I thought it would be cool, and I love sushi, so we started a drawing board of names and marketing.� When a space opened up next door to Agra Culture on 50th and France in Edina in 2015, he decided to build the restaurants. After six months of planning and developing the menu, Switz and Asp opened the first SotaRol restaurant. Since then, the partners have opened four more locations: Stadium Village

and Uptown in Minneapolis, and Apple Valley and Eagan. Most SotaRol restaurants have been built in spaces previously occupied by Yogurt Lab. “While Yogurt Lab is really seasonal, SotaRol is an all-year restaurant,� Switz said. “The square footage worked out perfectly. It fit in that space really well.� While the market for SotaRol aligns with Minnesota’s seasonal weather better than an ice cream shop, the unique business faces challenges of its own. Switz said many of SotaRol’s main challenges come hand-in-hand with its strengths. He said although fast-casual Asian dining is an underdeveloped market with room

for growth, most Americans have a limited understanding of the products and services provided. “No one’s really had Japanese fast-casual, so that in itself is a challenge because people aren’t used to it. They’ve been trained to go into a nice restaurant and sit down to eat these kinds of foods,� Swtiz said. “And, sushiburritos are a completely new product. No one really knows what they are or what to expect.� Switz said that getting people into the restaurant for the first time is the most important step for the growth of his business. “This is the exciting part: We get to tell people about our product, bring them in and let them try it, and in the next 30 years that audience will grow

and we will grow along with it,� Switz said. “We look at it like a marathon, not a sprint. We came into this knowing there is a limited market for just sushi, so that’s why we wanted to offer all the other options.� After the initial struggle of getting people in the door, Switz said he usually sees sales double in the first two and a half years in his businesses. He said growth has been steady and proportional across locations. “We are excited about the next 20 or 30 years,� he said. “Millennials have a wider palate range. They like spice, they like trying new things and they like the ability to get things at a reasonable price quickly. And, people also want some level of embedded

health in their food because they are eating out more. We do all of that.� As the five existing SotaRol restaurants gain in popularity, Switz said he is beginning to look at possible locations for expansion. He is already in the process of bring a SotaRol stand to Target Field. Switz said the chefs are always happy to recommend meals to customers, especially those coming in for the first time. The new resturants are located at 7394 W. 153rd St. in Apple Valley and 2000 Rahncliff Court in Eagan. Both locations are open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Thisweekend Zoo’s newest Amur tiger cub named Vera Following a public naming contest, the Minnesota Zoo’s newest female Amur tiger cub was named Vera, meaning faith in Russian. The zoo began the naming contest on July 25 and received more than 3,500 name submissions from tiger cub fans around the world. “There were some pretty unique names on the list,� said Trista Fischer, Northern Trail assistant curator. “The tiger zookeepers had a great time reading all of the submissions and picking our top three favorites.� The other two name options included Amaya, meaning night rain, and Amira, meaning princess. Vera’s public debut with her mother, Sundari, will be Aug. 23. “The Amur tiger is such a beautiful animal and we are so happy to be able to share their important story and engage our guests on how they can help protect and save Amur tigers in the wild,� Fischer said. “Vera is definitely going to be a ‘spunky’ ambassador for the species.� The female cub was born April 26. Guests from around the world have been able to watch her grow up with a special Tiger Cub webcam (http://mnzoo.org/tigercub2017), sponsored by Cub. Her zookeepers say she has a curious and adventurous personality. The last tiger birth at the Minnesota Zoo occurred in 2012, when Sundari was born to female Angara – who is currently located at Como Zoo in St. Paul.
