Weight-control efforts will be tested in 191

‘A Night in Paris’

Voluntary program will provide intervention for some students by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Select families in School District 191 will be part of a university study to determine whether schoolbased nursing services can help overweight children slim down and maintain healthier lifestyles. The study will begin next school year, thanks to a $3 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to the University of Minnesota School of Nursing, which has a history of collaboration with District 191. Overweight elementary students and their families will get extra services from registered nurses hired by the School of Nursing.

Their results will be compared with a control group of district students and families who didn’t get the extra services. “We are just hosting it,” said Dawn Willson, director of health services in the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage district. “Our families are the beneficiaries of it.” If the five-year study is conclusive, it could open a new, school-based front in the national fight against childhood obesity, said Marti Kubik, the School of Nursing associate professor who will lead the study. One in three schoolaged children is overweight or obese, she said.

Plans to construct a fifth affordable housing development in Eagan has received the green light from Eagan city officials. The Eagan City Council approved on May 7 a planning development, final plat and rezoning proposal that will allow the Dakota County Community Development Agency to build a 50-unit townhome development at 1319 Jurdy Road. The 24.5-acre site is located south of Moonshine Park adjacent to Lemay Lake. “We are very pleased to have your product in our city because it works,” Council Member Meg Tilley said. The development is the latest expansion of the CDA’s Family Townhome Project, which is designed for moderate-income families with children under age 18. Plans for the complex include three one-bedroom units, 22 two-bedroom units and 25 threebedroom units, a gazebo and a tot lot. Six acres will be dedicated to expand Moonshine Park. The CDA currently op-

erates 19 rental townhome complexes under the program, which includes two developments in Eagan. A third is set to open in the summer of 2013 and a plan for a fourth development is moving forward. “Eagan has a very high demand for housing and affordable housing is no exception,” said Kari Gill, deputy executive director for the CDA. There are currently 1,300 families on a waiting list for the CDA townhomes in Eagan, she said. Gill said the CDA chose the site near Lemay Lake due to its proximity to retail, parks and employers, Gill said. Some residents, who admittedly had little knowledge about the proposal, expressed concerns that the project would bring increased traffic and crime while declining property values. Public Works Director Russ Matthys assured residents and the council traffic will remain manageable on Jurdy Road and surrounding streets despite the development.

148 senior units OK’d Development is on Blackhawk Road in Eagan by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A plan to build a fourstory senior living facility in Eagan is moving forward. Southview Senior Communities plans to construct a 148-unit facility on 10 acres at 4232 Blackhawk Road south of Diffley Road. The facility would include assisted living, memory care and independent living units. The Eagan City Council unanimously approved

sending a Comprehensive Guide Plan amendment to the Metropolitan Council for review that, if approved, would change the land designation from medium-density residential to high-density residential. The guide plan amendment will need a final approval from the Metropolitan Council and the City Council before Southview can move forward with its plans. A rezoning and plat will also need to be approved before construction can begin. The property is cur-

Seized methamphetamine worth $400,000 Burnsville man faces drug, weapons charges by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A 35-year-old Burnsville resident and barbershop owner faces two first-degree drug charges and two weapons charges after a police search of his home allegedly turned up 12 pounds of methamphetamine. The street value of the seized drugs exceeds $400,000, Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom said in a news release. Albert Morris Johnson, 62 Riverwoods Lane, was charged May 3 with two first-degree con-

Albert Johnson trolled-substance crimes, one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm and one count of

possessing a firearm with an altered or removed serial number. “This case involved a large quantity of m e t h a m p h e t a m i n e ,” Backstrom said. “We are pleased that law enforcement has been able to seize this significant quantity of an extremely dangerous illegal drug and keep it from being sold on the street.” Investigation led Dakota County Drug Task Force officers to obtain a search warrant for Johnson’s home and barbershop, according to the criminal complaint. Officers began the

search at about 1:10 a.m., entering the home after repeated knocks and announcements yielded no answer. Albert Johnson and Helen Johnson and two children, ages 1 and 17, were also inside, the complaint said. The adults were handcuffed. Officers seized 20 items, including 24 bags of a clear crystal substance that tested positive for methamphetamine. They seized three handguns — one loaded and one with a destroyed serial number — a scale, $16,540 in cash, a money counter, and an electronic benefit transfer card.

Entering with a key Johnson provided, officers searched the barbershop — Q&A Barbershop at 2929 Cliff Road E. — at 2:50 a.m. Three items were seized, including a “suspected drug note,” the complaint said. The first-degree drug charges allege sale and possession, both occurring when Johnson or an accomplice used or possessed a firearm. Johnson was convicted of second-degree assault in Sherburne County in 2009, which made it illegal for him to possess firearms, Backstrom

said. Backstrom said he’ll submit Johnson’s case to the U.S. attorney’s office for possible charging under federal law. If federal charges are bought, the state charges will be dismissed. Johnson’s bail was set at $1.5 million without conditions and $1 million with conditions. Johnson remained in custody Friday. His next court appearance is May 20 at 1:30 p.m. in Hastings.

Lakeville woman honored for Eagan resident awaits advocacy for disabled people resolution of employment suit Nearly three years after a jury granted Eagan resident Chandramouli Vaidyanathan $1.9 million in a lawsuit against Seagate Technology, the case remains unresolved. An eight-day trial following an appeal made by the Bloomington company ended on April 26 with a hung jury, according to the Pioneer Press. Vaidyanathan filed a wrongful employment lawsuit in 2009, claiming he quit his job in Texas to move across the country to pursue a position as a yield engineer at Seagate – a job that didn’t exist. Vaidyanathan tried to return to his yield engineering job with Texas Instruments, a global analog and digital semiconductor

A Lakeville woman was recognized last month for her of her long leadership and advocacy for employees who have a disability at her Eagan workplace. Diane Wells, Intake Operations in Integrated Health Management manager at Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Minnesota, was named Advocate of the Year on April 25 by Lifeworks Services, a nonprofit serving 850 disabled individuals by offering social enrichment programming, support services and employment opportunities. Wells has worked with Lifeworks since she started in management 13 years ago. As a leader, she encourages her staff to support inclusion and respect in all aspects of employment, according to Lifeworks officials. Wells and her staff aim to find work opportunities that are meaningful and appropriately match each individual’s skill level. Parents of Lifeworks clients report the program helps their children to fit in and be accepted, valued and part of the team; some are able to live independently with the income and experience they have gained. “Diane Wells is a remarkable person who sees everyone with one face,” Lifeworks President and

Diane Wells and Lifeworks President and CEO Judy Lysne. (Photo submitted) CEO Judy Lysne said at the gala. “She doesn’t see disability; she sees only ability and possibility.” “I struggle with the word ‘disabilities,’ ” Wells stated in a news release. “From my years of partnering with Lifeworks Services, I find their clients full of talents, strengths and abilities. My role is to understand what those strengths are and marry them to job tasks we have at hand.” Blue Cross employs 10 Lifeworks clients who are supported by a Lifeworks coach, and the work the

clients perform increases in complexity and diversity. Wells said it has been rewarding to witness personal growth in the people she has helped through the program. “We are so fortunate that she works at Blue Cross where we have had a wonderful partnership for 26 years,” Lysne said. “She is a model manager in a model company.” For more information, go to www.lifeworks.org.

Eagan Animal Control seeks dog involved in biting incident Eagan Animal Control is looking for a dog that was involved in a biting incident on Sunday, April 28, on East Balsam Trail near Carlson Lake Lane. The bite victim, a woman, was walking along East Balsam Trail and noticed a young boy and a man together, each walking a dog on a leash, according to animal control. The dog, being walked by the boy, pulled away, ran up to the woman and bit her once on the leg. The man asked the woman if she was all right. She told him she had been bitten but didn’t need any additional assistance. All

three people left the scene without exchanging information. The woman suffered a minor injury and didn’t require medical attention. The dog is described as a small breed dog, possibly a Shih Tzu. It is black and white with long hair. The second dog, which was not involved in the incident, was described as larger and light brown. The man was described as having dark hair and a medium build, while the child was described as being between 3 and 4 years old with blond hair. Animal Control wants to locate the dog involved

in the incident to verify its rabies vaccinations and to observe it for signs of rabies. This important information will help the victim make a decision regarding follow-up medical care. Eagan Animal Control is not seeking to euthanize the dog. If the dog can be located, properly observed and found to be healthy, the owner has the option to keep it, according to animal control. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Eagan Police Department at 651675-5700 or email Karen Grimm at KGrimm@ cityofeagan.com.

manufacturer in Dallas, but the company froze new hires because of the economy. Additionally, Vaidyanathan was given a $10,000 signing bonus from Seagate that included one month’s pay and relocation assistance with the condition that he stay two years. These circumstances, Vaidyanathan said, forced him to accept a different position at Seagate. Vaidyanathan was laid off by Seagate shortly after accepting that position. In 2010, a Hennepin

County jury awarded Vaidyanathan a $1.9 million judgement against Seagate. In its appeal, Seagate argued that the jury instructions didn’t adequately represent Minnesota law. Two out of three judges agreed with Seagate’s position and a new trial was granted. Calls to Seagate’s and Vaidyanathan’s attorneys were not returned in time for publication. — Jessica Harper

4A May 10, 2013 SUN THISWEEK - Burnsville - Eagan

Stadium financing a conundrum, but project is worth it When the Minnesota Sports Facility Authority unveils the design for the new Minnesota Vikings stadium on May 13 at the Guthrie Theatre, the public will get a glimpse of the grand edifice that is planned to be built over the next three years. When ground is broken on the Metrodome site in Minneapolis this fall, the public will know for certain that the $975 million stadium will be built. What is less certain, however, is the funding piece for the stadium that was approved by the Legislature in 2012. For stadium fans, it will take patience to wait until July 2016 when the facility is slated for completion. It will take an equal amount of patience on the part of the public and legislators to feel comfortable that funding is available. Much discussion has emerged over the lack of tax dollars flowing to the state from electronic pulltabs, one of the key pieces in funding the stadium. The second vital funding source from charitable gambling venues is electronic bingo. E-bingo is just now coming on line. There is good reason for funding fears. E-pulltabs have not generated the funding once predicted by the Minnesota Charitable Gambling Board, and the board admits it. The state did not anticipate the snail’s process of establishing charitable sites for sales of electronic pulltabs. Electronic bingo almost became a forgotten partner in the funding piece. For various reasons, many smaller charitable gambling sites have said no to electronic pulltabs. Some have identified start-up costs and fees, in addition to state taxes, as major roadblocks. Other say e-pulltabs wipe away the social fun a group of friends may have sifting through a stack of paper pulltabs. It may

ECM Editorial not be such with e-bingo. The state was remiss in not identifying the electronic pulltab concerns early on. Such action may have helped lawmakers a year ago as the legislation was crafted. For stadium opponents, the door is now open for a barrage of criticism, including calls by lawmakers to redo the agreement with the Vikings. Fool’s errands of the like serve no good purpose. Those taking shots at the Vikings seem to ignore that the NFL club will pay an estimated $15 million per year to the sports facility authority, including $8.5 million in rent alone. Other user groups will contribute $2 million throughout the year. State leaders from Gov. Mark Dayton on down have long preached patience as the funding mechanism for the stadium unfolds. We would agree that patience is needed, but faced with many unknowns it is worrisome to just assume the tax dollars from charitable gambling will somehow magically appear in the future. But we give state leaders the benefit of the doubt that patience is needed through the balance of this year. As stated in interviews with this editorial board, officials of the gambling board and the sports authority remain confident that the funding picture will see major improvements. The number of active charitable gambling sites offering electronic pulltabs is growing, and more game manufacturers and distributors are being approved by the state. The same holds true for electronic bingo. The impact of e-bingo linked to hundreds of sites could be a game changer.

And patience must be the rule based on the unknowns. It is still uncertain the extent of the first bond sale slated for late summer or early fall. The state continues to crunch numbers to determine if all or part of the financing bond is issued this year. That decision will determine the actual debt service and the amount the state will need to repay next year. Early state estimates said debt service payment could be as high as $30 million a year. Make no mistake about this. The bonds are backed by the state’s general fund, and any shortage in stadium debt service must come off the top. By law, it will be the Legislature that must each year appropriate dollars from the general fund to address any debt service shortage. Failing to do so would result in the state defaulting on its obligation. The legislation approved last year includes backup funding sources. A Minnesota State Lottery game earmarked for the stadium is projected to provide $3 million a year for bond support. Once the stadium is open, a tax on luxury suites would bring in another $2 million a year. A proposal removed from last year’s bill that called for a sales tax on sports memorabilia could have produced as much as $19 million a year depending on the extent of the tax. The memorabilia tax is again being considered this session and should be passed if lawmakers want to hedge their bet. It amounts to a user fee that is paid by those closely associated with professional and Division I collegiate athletics. Another factor that has received little attention is that state charitable proceeds are growing by 6-7 percent this year. The electronic games are certainly a factor here while paper pulltabs continue to sell well. While tax income from electronic

pulltabs is now projected to pull in an estimated $1.5 million this year, the total tax contribution from all forms of charitable gaming could well top $7 million. And with the e-games likely to grow, this estimate would seem conservative. State officials and lawmakers must remain vigilant in monitoring this process over the remaining months of 2013. By year’s end, there should be a clear picture of the funding levels that can be expected from charitable gambling. If red flags continue to fly, more serious action will be needed from legislators. If serious funding holes are evident, racino backers are ready to plug that hole with tax revenues generated by slot machines at Running Aces Harness Park in the north metro. It is not surprising that the funding picture for the stadium has become a hot-button issue. It was controversial a year ago and will remain so. With the general fund potentially at risk for a financial hit in 2014, now is no time for state officials to relax as revenue streams for the stadium are rolled out. They need to make sure the projections work. What should not be forgotten are the many benefits from three years of a huge construction project that will produce 7,500 jobs and pump huge amounts of money into the economy. The end result will be a multipurpose stadium, with all the bells and whistles, that will serve Minnesota well every month of the year and not just in the fall when the Vikings call it home.

Local newspaper pioneer will address history group Sitting at her Birnamwood kitchen table on a muggy August day in 1975, Mary Ziegenhagen was telling her neighbor about the frustration she felt trying to find out the facts surrounding the firing of the school district’s superintendent. “I read in the Twin Cities daily papers what went on yesterday in Afghanistan or New York, but there was nowhere to look for an explanation of the commotion at the intersection of Cliff Road and Highway 13,” said the suburban housewife and mother of two sons. When she tried to find answers to what was going on around town, she was met with mostly misinformation. And she then decided it was time to do something about it. Her answer was to publish for Burnsville residents on Oct. 8, 1975, the first edition of The Current, a free weekly newspaper dedicated solely to the news of Burnsville and its school districts. Reports on the school board and City Council meetings, stories about local nature trails and library offerings, and school and community sports news were all part of that first edition. “Without Joanne Shiebler (also a resident of Birnamwood and a partner in the new venture) and the advertisers she delivered, The Current could not have survived,” said Ziegenhagen, remembering the challenges facing them in the beginning. History was made. “Every publication was a chapter in a

history book of Burnsville at that time,” said Burnsville Historical Society President Len Nachman. He added that he hopes to invite Shiebler to address the Historical Society when a date can be arranged. “The Historical Society will be digitizing the bound volumes of the newspapers that Mary had originally donated to the Burnsville library, and all that information will be made available to the public for further study. We hope to have this material posted on our Web page in the future.” To hear more about Ziegenhagen’s journey from publishing a local community newspaper to being the first female editorial writer for the Minneapolis Star, to starting local papers in a number of other Dakota County communities, to finally selling the papers in 1983, the public is invited to a meeting on Thursday, May 16, at Burnsville City Hall.

parts of Burnsville and Eagan in the Minnesota State Senate. Carlson has always made himself very available to citizens, in venues both public and private, and has worked hard to keep us informed us of current issues and legislation. At a recent town hall meeting, Carlson introduced John Reich from the state Commerce Department, who presented information about how the new health exchanges will work beginning next January. Many questions were taken from the audience on the health care exchanges as well as many other issues of importance. Carlson is well known for his knowledge and mastery of the details of current legislation. It is clear that Gov.

Thanks to Senator Carlson for being a leader and being so accessible on this important issue. JIM JOHNSON Eagan

Two-tiered minimum wage proposal To the editor: This week the Minnesota House of Representatives approved a minimum wage increase. While the House passed the increase, we ask legislators to consider the impact on restaurants and related industries if the state continues to ignore tips as part of the income earned by many restaurant employees. A survey of Minnesota restaurants found that tipped employees See LETTERS, 5A

SUN THISWEEK - Burnsville - Eagan May 10, 2013 5A

LETTERS, from 4A make an average of $18 per hour statewide and $22 per hour in the metro area. We want to maintain these good jobs and keep table service restaurants viable. However a minimum wage increase that does not recognize tips as income could cause restaurants to reduce employee hours, increase menu prices or delay investment or expansion. Restaurants don’t want to do that. The Minnesota Restaurant Association has put forward a balanced plan that protects the wages of tipped employees. The proposal would create a new tipped employee minimum wage tier. If a tipped employee earns at least $12 per hour including tips, they would receive the current base minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. If they didn’t make $12 an hour during the pay period, they would earn the new minimum wage plus tips.

congressional seat, says that the bill would actually hurt middle-class families. As Obermueller correctly points out, under Kline’s bill there is no guarantee that an employee gets any comp time when they need time off. Instead, the bill leaves control over scheduling in the hands of employers, who can wait up to 30 days to honor a comp time request. Obermueller is also accurate when he says the bill would permit the employer to hold deferred comp time payments for up to a year if the employee did not request time off. This is essentially an interest free loan from the employee to the employer. Further, the bill may encourage employers to gradually reduce paid vacations and holiday time, since they could just expect their employees to take their accrued comp time instead. None of this would help a single parent spend more time with his or her children. Second District vot-

The floor of $12 per hour is higher than any of the proposed minimum wage hikes at the Capitol. At a recent town hall meeting, Gov. Mark Dayton suggested that restaurants might need to be considered differently regarding a minimum wage increase. The MRA’s reasonable plan is the right approach. SCOTT WINER Champps, Burnsville and Maple Grove, and vice president of the Minnesota Restaurant Association

The trouble with comp time To the editor: U.S. Rep. John Kline, R-Burnsville, recently defended a bill he introduced that would replace overtime pay with compensatory time (or “comp time”) for some workers. Kline claims the bill increases workplace flexibility by allowing single parents to take time off when they need it. However, Mike Obermueller, a contender for Kline’s

ers may ask why Kline would support a bill that appears to undermine the success of the very people he claims he wants to help? Kline states this is a new idea but in reality his idea of not actually paying for overtime was in place in the building of the pyramids 3,000 years ago, the cotton fields of Alabama 150 years ago, and Minnesota manufacturers in 1929. It is an old pig of an idea with Kline’s lipstick of comp time on it. Mike Obermueller will see that you get paid for overtime work – not cheated.

the House and the Senate all put forward budget bill and it is in the conference committees where the compromise and consolidation of all three takes place. While the there may be differences of opinion, there is a lot of give and take, and we can learn a lot from one another simply by being willing to talk to those that disagree with us. One other very important bill we passed last week was the Child Victims Act. Right now, people who were assaulted as children have until age 24 to file a claim in court. After the age of 24, they have absolutely no ability, under the law, to file a lawsuit against an abuser. Depression, substance abuse, and many other challenges are common for victims of this kind of abuse, and now those victims have a way to address some of that suffering because the Child Victims Act removes the age 24 restriction. Last week, we also passed an increase in the state minimum wage. The current minimum is set

at $6.15. The new wages will go up gradually over the next few years until they reach $9.50 in 2015 for large employers and $8.50 for small employers. The increase in wages not only helps workers; it will also help businesses and the state economy because consumers will be able to spend more money on food, clothes, and housing when they otherwise might be left to utilize state support programs. As always, I encourage you to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. SANDRA MASIN Eagan State represenative for District 51A, Burnsville and Eagan

Shooting for a cause Lakeville paintball charity game to benefit pediatric heart patients Headline Subhead by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

After years of warfare, worldwide collapse pits two surviving North American factions against each other in the year 3010, each fighting for the last remaining food and supplies. That scenario could be the premise of a movie or video game, but instead is available for everyone to experience live in Lakeville on May 19 at MN Pro Paintball, where participants’ involvement may also help save a child’s life. The event is the fifth annual Challenge for Children’s Big Game experience, a fundraiser to benefit the Minneapolis Children’s Hospital cardiac unit. Hundreds of players are expected to participate in the scenario-based mission, played on MN Pro Paintball’s 200 acres at 22554 Texas Ave. Each team will be led by Navy SEALS Larry Yatch and Isaiah Maring from

Players at MN Pro Paintball should wear long pants and shirts — camouflage is optional. (Photo submitted) Sealed Mindset, a firearms studio and training center in New Hope. Maring is scheduled to parachute into the game, according to Erika Emerick, MN Pro Paintball marketing manager. Players can bring their own equipment or rent it at MN Pro Paintball but

must use the company’s environmentally safe paintballs, which will discounted that day to $55 for 2,000. Paintball guns brought in must meet the company’s safety standards; fully automatic guns are not allowed. All proceeds will be donated to the Children’s

Hospital cardiac unit, a charity that holds significance for MN Pro Paintball founder and CEO Matt Ames, 29. He was rushed there shortly after being born with a congenital heart defect and has been a patient there ever since. At 18, he received a pace-

watched a silent object that didn’t seem very far away move south across the sky. “The object seemed to be at the same level as us. It kept its beam of light facing our bedroom window for about 10 seconds … It just kept moving south until it was out of our view.” The wife reported she did not get out of bed to watch the object’s departure because she was “paralyzed with fear.” “My husband walked around the house a little just to check to make sure the doors were locked,” she stated. The Mutual UFO Network, or MUFON, compiles reports of such incidents and often conducts

follow-up investigations with the witnesses, whose identities are not publicly released. The Apple Valley Police Department received no reports of anomalous aerial phenomena in the early hours of April 27, police Capt. Michael Marben said. Minnesota had four reported UFO sightings in April, according to coverage of the recent Apple Valley incident at the news and entertainment website Examiner.com. “Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or manmade,” the Examiner.com report notes. —Andrew Miller

Woman ‘paralyzed with fear’ during UFO encounter Terror beset an Apple Valley couple late one night last month when an unidentified flying object appeared outside their bedroom window. According to testimony provided by the wife, light from the silent, low-flying object began shining into the bedroom just after 1 a.m. Saturday, April 27. “I was almost asleep when I noticed a bright light shining on me through my closed eyes,” the wife reported on the witness database of the Mutual UFO Network, a Denver-based nonprofit which seeks to scientifically resolve the enigma of UFOs. “I opened my eyes, woke my husband and we

maker, but his medical challenges are no match for his determination to be active and engaged, Emerick said. “He’s the most energetic, active person I’ve ever met,” Emerick said. “He’s a fighter. He still has issues, but he never lets that hold him back.” In the past four years the MN Pro Paintball event has raised more than $100,000 for the cardiac unit, and it’s growing in popularity. Last year, the event drew almost 500 players. This year, organizers have already raised $35,000 in corporate donations and are planning for at least 700 players, who will use every field for the adventure. Paintball props include giant pipelines, woods and a 10,000-square foot castle where teams will attempt to gather supplies to pick up points for the win. Everyone is invited to play, but there is also entertainment for those who would rather cheer the teams on, Emerick said. A bounce house and face painting will be on site for tots, and an im-

On a snowy Friday, May 2, crews at the Dakota County Fairgrounds were trudging through soggy grounds as snow fell to set up for its first event of the season, the Minnesota Scottish Fair. The fair was moved two weeks earlier because miserable humidity last season made the wool kilts a little unbearable, but event planners probably did not anticipate a late winter meant a frigid day for kilt-wearers this year. Crews worked quickly to get things ready. Typically, fair set up starts at least seven days in advance, said Kristine Smith, fairgrounds office manager. “This year is different. We have one day,” she said. Snow piled up around

because the horse arena fence was not replaced yet due to the weather e, Smith said. Local residents who are storing equipment and cars in the fairground buildings are extending their stays. While winter storage typically runs from mid-September to the first week of May, some vehicles stayed in storage a little longer thanks to the weather. “We’re as lenient as can be to get the buildings cleared for events,” Smith said. Despite these setbacks, the Dakota County Fairgrounds is looking forward to its busiest season. “We’re getting a lot more events in general,” Smith said, including more weddings and private events. Some summer highlights include the World War II reenactment May 18-19 (see related story inside), the German Shepherd Dog Club of Minne-

‘Voice’ latest milestone for local singer by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Dustin Hatzenbuhler has just one regret from his appearance on “The Voice.” He wishes he’d picked a different song. The 24-year-old singer-songwriter from Apple Valley performed Michael Buble’s “Haven’t Met You Yet” for his televised audition on the NBC singing competition. Hatzenbuhler received high praise from the panel of celebrity judges – and a hug from pop star Shakira – but wasn’t picked to advance to the later stages of competition. “Looking back, I probably would have chosen a song that would have showcased my own vocal style a little more,” he said. “Shakira seemed to like it the most. She said I had a very manly voice – thank you, Shakira.” His TV performance, recorded in Los Angeles last fall, aired on NBC in April. While it wasn’t the ending Hatzenbuhler had hoped for, it did bring national exposure to the 2006 Eastview High School graduate’s music career. “The night I performed, the ratings were something like 15 million people – that number is just crazy to me,” he said.

Lakevilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s John Enggren dies at age 84 Mike Waters: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the passing of an eraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lakeville lost one of its most prominent lifelong community members and business leaders April 27. John Enggren, 84, died at home from pneumonia he suffered recently after he injured his back about six weeks ago in a fall, according to his son Joel Enggren. A celebration of his life was held at the Chart House restaurant in Lakeville on Thursday, May 9. For generations, the Enggren family operated a grocery store in downtown Lakeville, also opening a clothing and dry goods store that later split into clothing shops for men and women. Later, the Enggrens owned four Tom Thumb convenience stores in and around Lakeville, said Joel Enggren. The family also opened clothing stores in Prior Lake, according to John Enggrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s niece Jody Braun. Todd Bornhauser, Lakeville Chamber of Commerce executive director, said â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sad day for the Lakeville business community, and especially downtown Lakeville, when you have a stalwart of that business community pass away.â&#x20AC;? The Enggrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grocery store became a gathering place for residents and farmers to meet, exchange ideas and form friend-

John Enggren, a longtime Lakeville resident and business leader who died at age 84, helped found the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual festival, Pan-O-Prog, in 1967 to mark the opening of Airlake Industrial Park and to celebrate the merging of the city and township of Lakeville. (File photo) ships, eventually becoming the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest supermarket, stocked with groceries and retail items, according to a 2012 Sun Thisweek article. John Enggren and his bother Jerry Enggren joined their father, John G. Enggren, in the business in 1954. Joel Enggren said the brothers were very close and worked well together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My dad was more of the people person, and Jerry was a more hands-on kind of guy,â&#x20AC;? Joel said. Jack Matasosky, CEO of Appro Development, said when he came to

Lakeville in 1978, the Enggren family â&#x20AC;&#x153;was pretty much most of the business in Lakeville.â&#x20AC;? He said the family welcomed new business growth, and exerted â&#x20AC;&#x153;great influence and character in Lakeville over the years.â&#x20AC;? The brothers were involved in the community, helping to found Pan-OProg in 1967 to mark the opening of Airlake Industrial Park and celebrate the merging of the city and township of Lakeville; Jerry Enggren died in 2010 at 80 years old. Matasosky said the brothers would be proud

of how big Pan-O-Prog has grown, attracting people from all over. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think they envisioned it getting as big as it did,â&#x20AC;? Matasosky said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To see it grow as a community celebration is quite a tribute to them.â&#x20AC;? MJ Henschel, sales manager at the Chart House, said she often shopped in the Enggrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stores, describing their shop for women as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;place to go for womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothing.â&#x20AC;? Braun said the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothing store â&#x20AC;&#x153;fell by the waysideâ&#x20AC;? once the Burnsville Center opened in 1977, drawing away their customer base. She ran the grocery store for the last few years, until it crossed the 100year mark and closed in 2006, also a victim of growing competition and significant changes in the retail industry. Doreen Enggren, Jerry Enggrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s widow, said the brothers respected each other as businessmen and cared deeply about the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it was just the love of the townâ&#x20AC;? that kept them in Lakeville, she said. Joel Enggren said his father later bought the former Lakeville liquor store from the city and opened Babeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sports Bar and Grill, a popular downtown bar and restaurant now under different ownership. John Enggren held his 60th birthday celebration

at Babeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right after he bought it, Joel said. His energy and interest in others set him apart, according to those who knew and worked with him in the community for decades. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just like his father and brother, John was just a stalwart citizen in the community,â&#x20AC;? said Maynard Johnson, creator of the 1,500-acre industrial park and Airlake Airport. The Enggren brothers also made a point to donate food and clothing to local families in need and were very involved in community organizations including the Chamber of Commerce. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one thing he taught me,â&#x20AC;? Joel Enggren said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To always give back.â&#x20AC;? John Enggrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister, Shirlee Scott-Sandvik of Golden Valley said, like all Enggrens, John Enggren had worked in his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s store since childhood. She recalled a time that may have been the key to his business acumen: He hitched a sugar beet train to Chaska, which was â&#x20AC;&#x153;just something kids didâ&#x20AC;? back then. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My dad was so upset with him from that time on, I think he spent most of his after-school time in the store,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was in hot water.â&#x20AC;? What may have been intended as punishment became a source of admiration for John Enggrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s siblings, who witnessed his

sudden business involvement awaken a new sophistication in him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jerry and I, we just thought he had it made,â&#x20AC;? Scott-Sandvik said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He got in the truck all the time with my dad, and they talked business around the dinner table. It was a big deal.â&#x20AC;? Joel Enggren said his father went out of his way to get to know others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was like he knew everybody,â&#x20AC;? Joel Enggren said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wherever he went, he had to buy somebody a drink.â&#x20AC;? Mike Waters, Provincial Bank president, called Enggrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death â&#x20AC;&#x153;the passing of an era,â&#x20AC;? noting the family, along with prominent business leaders like Earl Gephart and Jerry Erickson, helped shape the community and build Lakevilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foundation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;John is part of the historical families here,â&#x20AC;? Waters said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was very active in Lakeville and part of a group that was very supportive of the Chamber of Commerce. That group of people were really kind of the core of Lakeville, so heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the last of them. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sad thing.â&#x20AC;? John Enggren is survived by wife Lois, sons Joel (Lisa); Jay (Debbie) and Jeff (Jill), many grandchildren and his sister Shirlee Scott-Sandvik of Golden Valley.

House passes anti-bullying bill after legislators recall personal experiences by T.W. Budig SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A binding thread in the school-bullying legislation debate is painful memories. The Democratic-led House passed on Monday, May 6, the so-called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Safe and Supportive Minnesota Schools Act,â&#x20AC;? legislation that uses recommendations from a recent governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school-bullying task force. A companion bill â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one with a two-year $39 million statewide price tag â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is advancing in the Democratic-led Senate. Although Republicans and Democrats differ on the bullying bills, debate has been filled with personal reminiscences of being bullied. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got shoved into (school) lockers,â&#x20AC;? Rep. Joe McDonald, R-Delano, said of being physically short. Rep. Peggy Scott, RAndover, who, like McDonald, has grave concerns about the legislation, also recalled being a target. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Piggyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; an

awful lot,â&#x20AC;? she said. Rep. Pam Myhra, RBurnsville, remembered her fourth-grade teacher holding up her poor test score, inviting the class to ridicule her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She encouraged the bullying,â&#x20AC;? Myhra said. Powerful testimony was heard in committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My senior year I became a social outcast,â&#x20AC;? said Kyrstin Schuette of Anoka, who told a Senate committee of having a sports drink thrown at her, being called a sinner, dropping out of Anoka High School, attempting suicide, all related to her sexuality. The legislation takes a broad approach. It creates a School Climate Council to improve school climate and safety, and a School Climate Center at the Department of Education to serve as a point of contact for schools and parents, evaluate data and provide resources. Terms like â&#x20AC;&#x153;bullyingâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;cyberbullyingâ&#x20AC;? are defined in the legislation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Senate and House bills slightly differ.

Bullying, as defined in the bill, can involve intimidating or harassing actions directed at students based on actual or perceived race, ethnicity, color, creed, religion, national origins â&#x20AC;&#x201C; some 19 categories are specified. Under Senate language, school districts are required to conduct annual reviews and establish best practices. Minimum school district anti-bullying policy requirements are spelled out. For instance, primary contact persons must be designated. Procedures to investigate reports of bullying within three school days must be in place. Policies must prohibit reprisals, allow for anonymous reporting and offer ongoing professional development. The legislation calls for the creation of a state model anti-bullying policy. School districts that do not develop local policies must adopt the state policy. House Republicans were uncomfortable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t vote for your

bill. And that troubles me deeply,â&#x20AC;? Rep. Jenifer Loon, R-Eden Prairie, said. Scott asked House bill author Rep. Jim Davnie, DFL-Minneapolis, whether a student saying that homosexuality was a sin constituted bullying. Davnie, while saying factors like time and place weigh into determining bullying, said free speech is protected by his legislation. Scott was unconvinced, describing the bill as the use of state power to spread ideology. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge overreach,â&#x20AC;? she said. McDonald, saying bullying is a serious issue, also said he dealt with it. Rep. Ron Kresha, RLittle Falls, said the legislation veers off course and sets school districts up for failure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going back to my district and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trust you,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? he said of honoring local control. In an amendment, Kresha attempted to make the anti-bullying legislation more of a guide than directive, but failed. House Republicans

attempted a number of times to amend the legislation, offering one amendment allowing school boards using the Minnesota School Boards Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s model policy on bullying and acceptable Internet use as satisfying the requirements in the bill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appropriate to outsource eduction policy to one group,â&#x20AC;? Davnie said. The amendment failed. The House passed the legislation 72 to 57. Senate Republicans voiced concerns in the Senate Education Committee on Tuesday, May 7. Sen. Branden Pedersen, R-Andover, called the anti-bullying bill a massive, unfunded mandate. Sen. John Hoffman, DFL-Champlin, thanked Senate bill author Sen. Scott Dibble, DFL-Minneapolis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This bill is long overdue,â&#x20AC;? Hoffman said. A Minnesota Association of School Administrators official indicated the associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support for the bill. Anoka-Hennepin

School District Superintendent Dennis Carlson said the legislation could be seen as an unfunded mandate. But he could think of other unfunded mandates, such as with special education, that school districts must deal with. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People (school districts) need to find the funding,â&#x20AC;? Carlson said. Children must feel safe at school, he said. Dibble, like Davnie, views the legislation as mirroring the recommendations of the task force. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Governor (Mark) Dayton pulled together a task force on the prevention of school bullying and this bill is really written to the recommendation,â&#x20AC;? he said. Right now, Minnesota has the weakest anti-bullying law in the nation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a mere 37 words, he said. The Senate Education Committee approved the legislation, advancing the bill to the Senate Finance Committee. Email T.W. Budig at tim.budig@ecm-inc.com.

SUN THISWEEK - Burnsville - Eagan May 10, 2013 15A

WEIGHT, from 1A where we’re beginning, we hope that we’ll be successful and that Burnsville will be only the beginning, that they will be breaking ground for the potential of what might be able to be done around the country,” Kubik said. The study is pioneering because it focuses on school-based nurses providing intervention to students who are already overweight, she said. The School of Nursing first collaborated with JUHN, from 1A gram that’s been this extensive, that’s been this good, that’s been this inspiring,” Juhn said. The program includes a survey of battles already won. Mostly gone are the institutions that once housed the disabled, thanks to those who advocated on their behalf, Juhn said. “There’s a lot more dignity that’s been given to people with disabilities. Before, it was like you were an animal, or worse than one.” Now is the time to time for self-advocacy to rise, he said. “I do think disability rights are the next huge, major civil rights movement in the country beyond the GLBT movement,” he said. “There are bigger issues in the disCONTRACT, from 1A district. He has spent his career in the 25,000-student district as a biology teacher, high school dean of students, middle school principal, high school principal and assistant superintendent. Gothard will join the 9,500-student BurnsvilleEagan-Savage district on July 1. Board Chair Sandy Sweep and Board Member Jim Schmid negotiated contract terms with Gothard after the board voted April 10 to offer him the job. Under the contract,

District 191 in the 2004-05 school year. Nursing students helped school nurses introduce a body mass index measurement for each student as part of annual health screenings. With help from nursing students, that effort continues today for students in kindergarten and grades two, four and six. Parents receive the BMI measurements along with advice on weight control and physical activity. “Very few districts do a comprehensive BMI screening program,” Will-

son said. “We are one of the few that do.” Kubik also worked on a weight-control initiative in 2006 at the district’s alternative high school. “Because of our history of working with the U, we have a very good working relationship,” Willson said.

“We’ve done the kind of work at the school level to improve healthy food choice, and all children benefit from that,” Kubik said. “But we’re saying that children who are already overweight would benefit from more targeted support to attain and maintain a healthy weight.” In addition to tracking students’ weights, nurses will collect data on diet and physical activity, Kubik said. She measured parent interest in the research

program by sending random surveys to a sampling of District 191 families. Parents of both overweight and normal-weight students were “overwhelmingly” in favor, Willson said. “I believe this is something our parents are supportive of,” she said.

The School of Nursing will recruit families for the study, Kubik said. Half will receive extra interven-

tion and half won’t. A total of 88 children will begin the program in 2014-15, with 88 more added in 2015-16, she said. The program will last the duration of the school year. It will include three or four child-and-parent consultations with a nurse. Children will participate in small-group, after-school programs twice a month. There will be a monthly support group for parents. Nurses will also involve community organizations that offer programs promoting fitness.

abled community than the GBLT could even imagine. It’s just that the GLBT community has gotten on board sooner.” The son of Karen and Carlos Juhn, Juhn attended District 196 schools growing up, staring with Echo Park Elementary. After his diagnosis, he was moved to Red Pine and its Communication Interaction Program for students with high-functioning autism. “I don’t have as good of social skills as most people,” Juhn said. “I don’t grasp things, like, some sarcasm, I don’t get. I’m not as sociable, I guess. And I guess I’m just different, so they label you.” Special education at Falcon Ridge Middle School was “hell,” said Juhn, who has especially unfond memories of one

teacher. “Basically, if the slowest person in the class couldn’t grasp what you grasped, a lot of times (teachers) would make it so you wouldn’t learn anything more,” he said. “Basically, they just teach one bit of curriculum to everybody. “You basically get put in all these classes and you get labeled by the teachers and by the students. It causes you to separate yourself from the regular student body and basically create this idea in your head that, ‘I’m disabled, I’m different than these people, I’m not as good as these people.’ ” Eastview High School was better, said Juhn, who graduated in 2006 with a grade-point average of about 2.7. “The whole middle

school experience set me off so much that I just really didn’t try hard, or I really didn’t try at all, when high school came around,” he said. “That was my fault, you know? But part of it was the mindset that I got put into in middle school. Plus, I didn’t believe in myself then, either.” After high school Juhn attended District 196’s Transition Plus, a program for young adults with special needs. He then attended Itasca Community College for two semesters and is now studying commercial photography at Hennepin Technical College. He’s done some shooting for Occupy Homes MN, an activist group that vows to defend people from foreclosure and eviction.

On the disabilities front, one of the hot legislative topics is the federal ABLE Act, which would allow people with disabilities and their families to establish accounts for purposes such as education and housing without endangering their access to federal benefits such as Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income. “There are people I know and I went to school with that have tons of potential that basically live off the state now, don’t have a job, because if you work a job, you get penalized and you lose money,” Juhn said. It’s time for people with disabilities to “make noise” about their issues, he said. “I talk to so many people with disabilities. We’re p---ed,” Juhn said. “Ev-

erybody’s like, ‘How cute. They’re standing up for their rights.’ No. People really are truly angry at the way they’ve been treated. It’s not just me.” Another Partners in Policymaking session will begin this fall. Applications are due by July 15.

Gothard wouldn’t be paid for unused sick leave when he leaves the district. The contract grants 12 sick days per year, which can accumulate to 36 during the three years of the contract. If his contract isn’t renewed, Gothard would be paid for vacation days (28 per school year) that he hasn’t used or forfeited. Days not taken within six months after the school year in which they were earned will be forfeited. “Alternately, the School Board may require the superintendent to use his days of accrued but unused vacation during the

last three months of this contract,” it reads. Gothard will get a $400 monthly car allowance for use of his private vehicle. If he chooses, the district will match by up to $2,000 per school year his contributions to a qualifying tax-sheltered annuity.

collects premiums, pays claims and maintains its own reserve – will help them get a handle on everspiraling health care costs. Under Medica, the district’s premium was capped at a 12 percent increase next school year, but was projected to skyrocket by 50 percent the following year, Schmid said. Over the last decade, premium hikes have averaged 11 to 14 percent a year, Board Member Ron Hill said. The district spends about $11 million from its $110 million budget on health insurance, Hill said.

Under fully-insured plans with third-party providers, the district has always budgeted for worstcase increases, Sweep said. With self-insurance, “we’ll be more in control of that,” she said. Officials didn’t predict how much the district might save under self-insurance. With self-insurance, the district won’t be subject to taxes and assessments that insurance companies must pay, said Al Hofstede, the district’s insurance consultant. Under Medica, the company pooled the risk of all its policyholders and the district’s premium

Families will be recruited

District will self-insure The board also voted May 2 to leave insurance provider Medica in favor of a self-insured health plan for district employees. Officials hope that selfinsurance – in which the district, not an insurer,

reflected that – not its own experience with health claims, Hofstede said. The switch to self-insurance was recommended by the district’s insurance committee, which includes employee-group representatives. Members of the largest group, the teachers union, voted for the switch April 29. John Gessner can be reached at (952) 846-2031 or email john.gessner@ecm-inc.com.

Moonshine Park are no worse than other Eagan parks. “I haven’t seen any more concerning activity there than anywhere else in the city,” he said. McDonald also noted that, since the CDA’s first workforce housing development opened in 1995, crime at its housing in Eagan has historically been the same or less than privately managed properties. “Any time there has been issues with tenants, the CDA has been very responsive,” he said. “They are looking for a good experience for everyone living in the development.”

macy techs, and retail and hotel service workers.” These residents often struggle to afford market rate rent in Eagan, which is on average between $1,200 to $1,300 for a twobedroom unit. Ulfers noted the program is often used as a starting point toward homeownership. He also pointed out that a recent study by Maxfield Research found no evidence affordable housing developments such as those in the CDA’s Family Townhome Program cause property values to fall. Although the city didn’t require the CDA to hold a neighborhood meeting, Mayor Mike Ma-

guire suggested the CDA consider holding one for future projects to address residents’ misconceptions. Several residents claimed little notice was given for the project, but Maguire noted that information on it has been published in several media, including Sun Thisweek. Construction on the Lemay Lake project could begin next summer. Upon completion, the property will be largely owned by a private entity but will be managed by the CDA.

CDA Executive Director Mark Ulfers clarified the difference between the CDA’s Family Townhome Program and subsidized housing. Residents of the CDA’s townhomes pay below market rent but don’t receive governmental assistance to pay rent. Residents must also meet income guidelines, provide good landlord and credit references and pass a criminal background check. For instance, a family of three must have a minimum income of approximately $37,000 to qualify for the program. “This program serves working families,” Ulfers said. “Our residents include teaching aides, phar-

Burnsville girls lacrosse off to blazing hot 6-1 start Blaze’s only loss was to Lakeville South by one goal by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Burnsville has a 6-1 record through its first seven girls lacrosse games, yet some unfinished business remained. The Blaze hoped to take care of that this week. Burnsville was scheduled to play Thursday night at Lakeville North, the team that took the Blaze out of last year’s Section 3 tournament under unusual circumstances. In that game, North led 11-8 with 6:14 remaining when thunderstorms halted play. The game didn’t resume, North was declared the winner and Burns-

ville’s season was over. A three-goal deficit with six minutes remaining is daunting in hockey, but “six minutes is a lifetime in lacrosse,” Burnsville coach Sarah Windhorst said. “In the game we lost to Lakeville South earlier this year, they scored four goals in 1:07. Things can happen very quickly.” Thursday’s game was a regular-season game but still was important to the Blaze, not only because of what happened in last year’s playoffs but because it needed a victory to stay in the South Suburban Conference race. Burnsville was 4-1 in the league following a 14-7 victory over Eagan on Tuesday. Lakev-

ille North and Lakeville South were tied for first place at 5-0. Because the Blaze have almost everybody back from last year, the team expected a fast start. And that has happened; the team’s only loss was 16-15 to Lakeville South on April 29. The players “are working hard at it, every single day,” Windhorst said. “Even when the bad weather caused problems with our schedule, they did really well with it.” Burnsville also has been able to survive an injury at a position where it seemed the Blaze could least afford one. Senior Jaclyn Hinz, the only goalie on the roster at the beginning of

Dakota United chasing CI softball title Hawks succeed by scoring runs in bunches by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

After coming within one victory of the state CI Division adapted softball championship three of the last four years, Dakota United is anxious to get it done this time. Usually the Hawks’ toughest competition comes from the northern Twin Cities suburbs. This year, however, it could be just down the road. Burnsville/Farmington/Lakeville, also known as the Blazing Cats, defeated Dakota United 8-5 in the Hawks’ season opener April 10. Dakota United was missing two starters in that game. The rematch proved to be tough as well. The Hawks defeated the Blazing Cats 7-5 on Monday at Eagan High School, running their record to 8-1 and handing Burnsville/Farmington/Lakeville its first loss. High schools in Burnsville, Farmington and Lakeville used to be part of the Dakota United cooperative before they formed their own program. There’s a rivalry between the Hawks and Blazing Cats now, but it’s not acrimonious. “They’re competitive, but once the game is over 95 percent of the players are happy and shaking hands,” said Dakota United head coach Mary Hautman. “A lot of the kids on both teams do things together outside of

school.” Dakota United, which includes all of the District 196 high schools, has outscored opponents 118-24 during its eight-game winning streak. If the Hawks can fend off the rival in their own back yard, they will aim at the state championship again. Dakota United reached the CI Division championship game in 2009, 2011 and 2012, only to lose each time. Last year the Hawks lost 7-2 to a senior-dominated Anoka-Hennepin team. This year Dakota United is relying on seniors such as Ricky Arends and Joe Sandey, who helped lead the Hawks’ adapted soccer team to a CI Division state title last fall. Arends, the team’s pitcher, had four home runs and three triples going into Monday’s game against Eagan. Sandey solidifies the Hawks’ infield, as does sophomore Carl Fagre, the team leader at turning double plays. “Joe and Carl are such natural athletes, and Ricky has worked really hard to improve,” Hautman said. Sophomore Tyler Lupie-Voss, a first-year player, has settled in at first base. Juniors Andrew Brankley and Zach Schlosser moved up from the junior varsity to contribute to the varsity team. Emma Roiger, a seventh-grader, has played multiple positions. “She’s See CI, 18A

Dakota United wants a chance to meet the Robins PI Division softball team is undefeated by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The emphasis in adapted sports is on participation over winning trophies. Dakota United’s PI Division softball players understand that, but still, they want it all. The Hawks are steaming toward what looks to be an inevitable return to the state tournament. They won their first five games and didn’t allow more than one run in any of their first four. They didn’t meet their expectations at the last two state tournaments, so this year they have their eyes on the prize. “The last two years we lost our first game at the state tournament,” coach Brett Kosidowski said after the Hawks played Burnsville/Farmington/Lakeville/New Prague on Tuesday. “Then we won the consolation trophy. The consolation trophy’s cool, but it’s not quite what we want.” What the Hawks would like is a chance to play Robbinsdale/Hopkins/ Mound Westonka, the program that has dominated PI Division adapted sports the last several years. The Robins, who have won four consecutive state softball titles, play in the North Conference and Dakota United plays in the South Conference. Typically,

there are few crossover games during the regular season. “We haven’t played (the Robins) in four or five years,” Kosidowski said. “They’re a great team. Marcus (Onsum, the Robins’ head coach) knows what he’s doing. But our goal is to take them down.” The Hawks want a chance because they believe they have one of the most skilled teams they’ve ever had. It starts with shortstop Grayson Nicolay, a ninth-grader who might be the state’s best adapted athlete in the PI Division. Senior Lantz Estep and junior Jaayson Meyer are veteran outfielders. In adapted softball, teams are required to use at least two wheelchairbound players in the field. Dakota United this year has only two “chairs,” meaning it has to fill the rest of the spots with ambulatory players. “And we’re flooded with ambulatory players,” Kosidowski said. Riley Wisnewski, a seventh-grader, is playing in “short right,” which is more like an infield position. Infield defense is critical in adapted softball, Kosidowski said. “With Riley in short right, we really have no holes in our infield,” the coach said. See PI, 18A

the season, sustained a concussion. Starting midfielder Emma Wittchow, a junior, took over in goal. “For Emma to step up the way and performed the way she has, she’s been great,” said Windhorst, who added the Blaze hopes to have Hinz back soon. “One of the first games Emma played there was against Eastview (a 6-4 Burnsville victory May 2), which probably has one of the best goalkeepers in the state.” Burnsville has shown balance on offense, with Lindsey Coleman, Madison Maas, Bailey Childs and Kallie LaValle all having at least seven goals

through the first five games. Sophomore forward Emily Skogseth led the team in assists. Junior Erika Woodruff, who wasn’t on varsity last year, has contributed at midfield, Windhorst said. The Blaze plays a non-conference game against Wayzata at home at 3:30 p.m. Saturday before resuming its South Suburban schedule at Prior Lake at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Girls golf title still within sight for Eastview Lightning fourth in first SSC tourney by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Eastview has some work to do if it is going to repeat as South Suburban Conference golf champion, but the Lightning hasn’t shot itself out of contention. The team finished fourth in the first South Suburban tournament April 30 at Crystal Lake in Lakeville. Because the late spring caused high schools to rearrange their athletic schedules, there now are three SSC tournaments instead of the customary four. That leaves Eastview less time to catch Eagan, which was in first place after the first tournament. The final two SSC tournaments are May 21 at Heritage Links in Lakeville and May 23 at Rich Valley in Rosemount. “We won’t have a player, like we had last year with Sara Detlefsen (a 2012 graduate), who shoots 20 strokes lower than our No. 4 player,” Eastview coach Bob Boldus said. “We’re trying to find four to six players for those four scores that are going to count. What we’d like to get are a couple of players

in the low 80s or even the high 70s, and at least two others who can shoot in the low 90s or better.” Players in general have had limited opportunities to practice outside. That doesn’t seem to have hindered Eastview senior Madi Roe, who was the Lightning’s medalist in each of the team’s first two tournaments. She shot 80, including an even-par 36 on the front nine, at the Lake City Invitational on April 27 and finished second overall. Eastview was fourth in the team competition. Roe shot 86 in the conference tournament at Crystal Lake and finished in a five-way tie for second place, one stroke out of first. “Madi worked very hard last summer,” Boldus said. “She played a lot, practiced a lot, took a few lessons and played in a lot of Junior PGA events. She had a great summer and it’s carried over to this season.” Junior Kari Opatz, a top-25 finisher at last year’s state Class AAA tournament, shot 87 at Lake City and 92 at Crystal Lake. A potential wild card is ninth-

grader Haley Christenson, who also shot 92 at Crystal Lake. “She has great potential,” Boldus said of Haley Christenson. “She could shoot 85, and she could shoot 130. There are still some ups and downs, but she’s working on that in practice.” Christenson’s sister Tylor, also a ninth-grader, was the Lightning’s No. 5 player last season. The Lightning is looking for Tylor Christenson to consistently be in their top four this season. Courtney Companion, Holly McPhee, Whitney Hanson and Kate Philbrick are among other players seeking spots on the varsity. The Lightning was to play at the Owatonna Invitational on Monday, but the course wasn’t ready after that area received about 18 inches of snow last week. That means the team’s next tournament is the Red Wing Invitational at Mississippi National on May 14. Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

Notebook: AV swim coach McManus is retiring by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Apple Valley High School’s Mike McManus will close a 36-year teaching and coaching career when he retires at the end of the school year. McManus, a physical education and safety education teacher, coached four AVHS swimming teams to state championships. His girls teams won in 1990 and 1994 and the Eagle boys won state titles in 1989 and 2001. Among the most talented swimmers he coached was Michael Zee, who set state boys meet records in the 200 individual medley and 100 backstroke in 2003. McManus was a sixtime section coach of the year and four-time state

coach of the year. He was president of the state swimming coaches association for six years and was named to its hall of fame in 2009. McManus retired from the girls swimming head coaching position several years. The school will accept applications for the boys head coaching job until June 1.

their own program, it cut into the Hawks’ depth. Kosidowski, a physical education teacher in District 196, recruited students still eligible to play for Dakota United into the adapted sports program. He also operates an adapted sports camp in the summer. The result, at least in softball, is a team that could be good for a long time. Only three of the 16 players on the Hawks’ roster are seniors.

The Hawks scored at least 10 runs in each of their first four games, employing a strategy that emphasizes hitting the ball on the ground. “If you hit too many balls in the air, you’re going to be in trouble. Good teams will catch it if you hit it in the air,” Kosidowski said. The Hawks, who play at St. Paul Humboldt on May 14, have all but two of their players attending District 196 schools.

more in the pipeline, making it likely that more state tournament appearances are in Dakota United’s future. This year’s state tournament is May 31-June 1 at Coon Rapids High School. Dakota United, currently second in the South Conference, hasn’t officially qualified yet but seems a lock to get in. The Hawks will try to break a streak of domination by north suburban schools at the CI Division tournament. The last six programs to win the CI title – and 11 of the last 13 – have come from the northern suburbs. “The north division is one tough division,” Hautman said. “But I think the south schools have come back strong. I think it’s fairly even now.”

tiny, but she’s a scrapper,” Hautman said of Roiger. The Hawks have a little more than 40 players in CI Division softball. That would be the envy of most other programs in the state, but at Dakota United, it means participation has dropped a bit. In years past, Hautman said, the Hawks had enough players to fill two junior varsity CI Division teams. This year, there’s one JV team. But, in other places, a JV team is a luxury. Hautman said softball remains Dakota United’s most popular adapted sport. Not having to run the entire game – as is often required in adapted soccer and floor hockey – is attractive to some students, Hautman said. So, too, is the Hawks’ success.

Tuesday night. It was the second consecutive loss for the Blaze, which fell to second-ranked Eastview 13-4 on May 2. Burnsville has one of the state’s highest-scoring players in junior midfielder Charlie Fredericks, who led the South Suburban with 30 points (24 goals, six assists) going into Tuesday’s game.

Megan is the quarterback of our defensive system. She’s a leader on and off the field, and she’s a tremendous athlete. Her primary position is low defender. She has nine (9) ground balls and four (4) caused turnovers, along with two (2) goals to date. Our defensive unit, lead by Megan, has shut down opponents this year allowing a total of 54 goals against. Recently, she demonstrated how athletic she really is, in the absence of our starting goalie this past week, Megan, one of our senior captains, stepped up between the pipes. With very limited previous goal tending experience, after two games Megan is 2-0 and ranked 11th in the sate for goals against average (9). She now has “solid goaltender” to add to her athletic resume. • Girls Lacrosse All State 2012 • Girls Lacrosse All Conference 2012 • Girls Lacrosse Captain 2013 • Girls Hockey Captain 2013 • Girls Hockey Honorable Mention • Girls Hockey Hobey Baker Award Winner

8th LAKEVILLE SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL Chase went undefeated at #1 singles helping his team win the Lakeville South Invitational tournament and they won two in the last week. Chase helped his team beat arch-rival Lakeville North for the first time since the two schools merged winning the decisive match with the score tied at 3-3 As an 8th grader, Chase already has the most career singles wins in school history. His only loss last week was to a #2 ranked where the two competed hard, losing 6-1, 7-5. Chase is a big part of the 8 wins Lakeville South has already had this season. 8 wins is the most Lakeville South High School has ever had in a single season. Last year Chase won two sectional matches as well as helping his school to its first post-season victory.

SIMON WILL GIVE YOU MUCH JOY! Meet Simon, a 10-11 month old neutered male. He is quite handsome with his athletic wild cat look. He has the most loving disposition, and is tons of fun with loads of personality! Simon and his sister were rescued 2 months ago when they were found wandering in a field. Simon does not kiss up to strangers right away but once he calls you his own then you are in for a huge treat! His foster parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; exact words: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once Simon knows you then snuggling, petting and belly rubs are the absolute best things in the world! Every time we come to see him he greets us at the door. As soon as we sit down he jumps in our laps for a big snuggle. After that, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play time and he chases his feather wand until heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exhausted. He has awesome ninja talents! His acrobatic feats are breathtaking!â&#x20AC;?

Thisweekend WAR COMES TO FARMINGTON World War II re-enactment event runs May 18-19 at Dakota City

by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The fog of war is descending on Farmington, and you’re invited. A World War II re-enactment event at Dakota City Heritage Village May 18-19 will see mock European Theater battles staged by living history groups portraying Axis and Allied soldiers. As for the outcome of the faux skirmishes, those rooting for the Allies won’t be disappointed. “The battle scenario is set near the end of the war, outside a German-occupied railroad depot,” explained event coordinator Jon Boroom, who also participates in the mock battles. “The Germans will be milling about near the depot, the Russians will attack, and the Americans will come in and finish it off.” The weekend’s activities run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday. Mock battles are sched-

uled in the morning and afternoon each day. The event, now in its fourth year, also features soldier encampments, weapons and military vehicle displays – including a Sherman tank and Russian armored vehicle – and talks by World War II veterans. A military vehicle parade through downtown Farmington returns this year, and is sizing up to be bigger than ever. “We’ve opened the parade up to civilian vehicles from that era, and we’ve invited local car clubs to come take part,” Boroom said. New this year will be a World War II-era fashion show with civilian and women’s military attire from the 1940s. A military swap meet also is planned, with vendors selling original and reproduction military uniforms and equipment. Minnesota’s Beyond the Yellow Ribbon organization will be on hand throughout the weekend to provide information
