Joshua Young took his first two college courses in Somalia in 1993, the year of the Battle of Mogadishu. Deployed with the Army’s 977th Military Police Company, Young and a few others studied between missions under a fellow soldier with a master’s degree. “Obviously, the conditions were spartan, to say the least,” said Young, who took an intro to criminal justice course and a juvenile justice course. “But we would find time.” In December 2012, the 39-year-old Burnsville resident finally finished his bachelor’s degree in police science.

The Value Village thrift store proposal that prompted a controversial moratorium on new thrift stores in the Burnsville Center area wouldn’t pass muster under proposed new rules for the stores. The proposal to put the store in the old Ultimate Electronics building on Burnhaven Drive south of County Road 42 would violate proposed rules against drive-through dropoff lanes in the front or side yard next to a street, according to Community Development Director Jenni Faulkner. But there are properties within the Burnsville Center retail area where such a proposal could
work under the new rules, Faulkner told the Burnsville City Council at its March 12 work session. The council is studying new zoning rules for thrift stores citywide after approving the moratorium last December for the Burnsville Center area, which includes the Ultimate Electronics building. The council approved the moratorium after being asked by The Arc Greater Twin Cities for host approval of St. Paul Port Authority bonds to buy and renovate the building for one of its Value Village stores. Council Member Dan Kealey and retired Council Member Dan Gustafson voted against the moratorium, charging that it undercut The Arc, which was before the council not for land-use approval but because it needed the bondSee THRIFT, 12A

Eagan police canine dies of health issues by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
One of Eagan’s police canines died last week after battling pneumonia and other health issues. Zebo, a German shepherd, was euthanized March 8 due to his failing health. He recently underwent surgery at the University of Minnesota for a debilitating intestinal disorder. While recovering from the surgery, Zebo contracted pneumonia. By Friday, his health had rapidly deteriorated and veterinarians determined he likely wouldn’t recover. Zebo served with the Eagan Police Department for five years alongside Officer Robbe Waller. The duo was well known in the community for their many public demonstrations and appearances at local events, in addition to being dedicated crime fighters who apprehended many criminals together. With the passing of Zebo, the department is left with “Badger” as its only canine until another dog can be located and trained. Jessica Harper is at jessica.harper@ecm-inc.com.

Former GOP staffer pleads guilty to DUI Brodkorb gets one year probation by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Former GOP staffer Michael Brodkorb pleaded guilty this week to DUI charges and will serve a year probation. Brodkorb, an Eagan resident, pleaded guilty to fourth-degree DUI, a misdemeanor, on March 13 in Dakota County District Court. The 39-year-old will be on probation for a year and must complete a chemical assessment, listen to a victim impact panel and remain law-abiding, among other requirements. Brodkorb was charged last month after blood tests
determined he was intoxicated the night he crashed his car into a wall on Interstate 35E in Lilydale. Brodkorb also was charged with a second count of fourth-degree DUI, careless driving, and no seat belt, which were all dismissed. The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension found that Brodkorb had an alcohol concentration of 0.10, which is above the legal limit of 0.08. Brodkorb was seriously injured in the crash and spent several days at Regions Hospital in St. Paul. Brodkorb has been at the center of attention after admitting to an affair he had
with former Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch, RBuffalo, when he was her executive assistant. He lost his job in December 2011, one day after Koch resigned her leadership position over an “inappropriate relationship” with a staffer. Last July, Brodkorb filed a lawsuit against the Senate, the state of Minnesota and Secretary of the Senate Cal Ludeman, claiming gender discrimination. He claims he was treated differently than female staffers who had affairs with male legislators. The lawsuit, which is pending, is seeking damages in excess of $500,000.

Abatement request gets a grilling District 191 asked to forego some taxes for employer by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Backers of a highly prized plan to occupy a large, unfinished building in Shakopee came in for some grilling March 7 when they asked the District 191 School Board for a tax break. Chanhassen-based Rosemount Inc., which is part of Emerson Process Management, wants to occupy a 490,000-squarefoot building south of Scott County Road 101 and east of Valley Park Drive on the eastern edge of Shakopee’s industrial park. The facility, built by ADC Telecommunications, was left unfinished in 2001 when the company went bankrupt. Rosemount — which makes valves and devices that regulate temperature, pressure and flow — says business growth has the company looking for more office and manufacturing space. It says it will invest $21 million in completion of the Shakopee building and $35 million in equipment and other purchases while creating 500 well-paying jobs over five years. The company is seeking $6 million in incentives from the state, city and Scott County, including the tax abatements. The city, county and school district would forgive nine years’ worth of property tax on the postimprovement value of the upgraded property.
Under the plan, the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District would forgive an inflation-adjusted $366,925. Though it’s a small portion of the incentive package, a public hearing before the School Board was required. In a surprise to many – including, at one time Shakopee Mayor Brad Tabke – the site is in the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage district, not the Shakopee district, which Tabke first approached with the abatement request. “I completely screwed up and I had no idea this was not in our Shakopee school district,� Tabke told the board. The project promises regionwide benefits, with the addition over five years of 300 jobs averaging $75,000 a year and 200 averaging $38,000, backers say. Both Shakopee and Scott County have already approved their abatements – $590,000 by the city and a similar amount by the county, Tabke said. The School Board has yet to vote on its abatement request. Board Member Jim Schmid was the most vocal skeptic during the March 7 discussion. The Rosemount plant will have “indirect� benefits to the school district, not the direct benefits backers promise, Schmid argued. He pointed to the large amount of undeveloped land in Eagan’s Cedar-
vale redevelopment area and wondered whether it would be next. “What’s going to stop the next one from coming and saying, ‘Hey, you did it here – we want an abatement’? � Schmid said. As for benefits to the school district, its own proposed resolution approving the abatement says those benefits will “be at least equal to the costs to the school district� because the development “is not reasonably likely� to occur without it and the long-term taxes after the abatement expires will exceed the amount granted to the developer. “There’s economic growth in the area. There’s an increase in economic development, an increase in employment,� said Julie Eddington of Kennedy and Graven, Shakopee’s financial counsel. “And there’s an increase in the tax base after nine years.� The district now collects about $55,000 a year on the 110-acre property, according to Board Member Ron Hill. It will continue to collect that, and the amount will probably double after the abatement expires, he said. Board Member Dan Luth said he doesn’t recall another abatement request during his nearly dozen years on the board. Schmid said he’s aware of four Minnesota school districts that have denied abatement requests. The annual abatement amount would be replaced by extra per-pupil aid if
only seven children of the new Rosemount employees enroll in District 191, said Lisa Rider, the district’s executive director of business services. “Hopefully, some of them will land in the Burnsville school district,� Hill said. Board Member DeeDee Currier said she couldn’t vote for an abatement without guarantees Rosemount will hit its job targets. Eddington said incremental targets eventually reaching 500 jobs are built into the abatement agreements, and proportionate repayments of the forgiven taxes are triggered if the targets aren’t met. “I think what you’re seeing is how difficult it is to get funding in public education,� Board Member Bob VandenBoom told the Shakopee contingent, which included Brian Harstad, a Rosemount vice president of finance. The proposed improvements are projected to create an additional $12.15 million in market value on the site. Rosemount has its global headquarters in Chanhassen and factory and office space in Eden Prairie. It employs 7,000 at 18 sites worldwide and generates global sales of $8 billion annually, the company says. John Gessner can be reached at (952) 846-2031 or email john.gessner@ecm-inc.com.
Another senior housing cooperative planned in Burnsville by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Construction of Burnsville’s fifth senior housing cooperative was endorsed by City Council members at their March 12 work session. United Properties plans to build about 52 co-op units for people 62 and older on the remaining 1.8 acres of the Uptown Landing condominium property, located north of Burnsville Parkway in the Heart of the City. One Uptown Landing building was built six years ago, but two more condo buildings approved for the site never materialized. The developer plans an “upper-end senior co-op community� with prices averaging $290,000 and unit sizes averaging 1,450 square feet, according to Community Development Director Jenni Faulkner. The project is called Applewood Pointe. United Properties has built three Applewood Pointe senior co-ops in Bloomington, two in Roseville, one in New Brighton and one in Maple Grove. The project “fits nicely with the surrounding residential uses,� said a city staff report. “The project will provide more parking opportunities for Uptown Landing residents and bring outstanding taxes and assessments
current. The project is owner-occupied and will add to the tax base of the city.� Seventy is the average age in Applewood Pointe’s 600 co-op units, said Alex Hall of United Properties. He said there’s keen interest in the Burnsville project among local seniors. Under rules of the federal Housing and Urban Development mortgage used to build the Applewood Pointe projects, financing isn’t secured until a project is 60 percent presold, Hall said. Co-op owners buy into a master mortgage on the building, he said. The four-story building would face First Avenue. Each unit would have an underground parking stall. The developer plans to acquire the lower-level parking stalls in the Uptown Landing building for Applewood Pointe owners, but also for Uptown Landing owners to buy or use, according to the report. The senior population in Burnsville, a city of 60,300, continues to grow. The 65-and-older population is expected to grow 67 percent by 2020, to more than 18,000, according to the city.

Federal sequester nicks city of Burnsville by Heather Johnston CITY OF BURNSVILLE
There is a lot of talk about “sequestration,” which went into effect on March 1, and how it will impact our everyday lives. Sequestration is the term for automatically cutting – in this case $85 billion – from the federal budget. Some say it will be disastrous, others say we won’t notice a bit. As is usually the case, the truth is somewhere in the middle. In Burnsville, we expect a lesser impact on the day-to-day services we provide – largely because we’ve already planned for some level of reduction in our budget – but also because we aren’t as reliant on federal and state aid as some other cities. For example, Burnsville does not have
Guest Columnist any police officers or firefighters funded with federal dollars, so we will not be laying off any public safety personnel because of the sequester. The state of Minnesota is also much less dependent on federal resources than other states (the state relies on federal funds for 1.8 percent of its budget, which is significantly lower than the national average of 5.3 percent). This helps blunt the impact when it comes to these automatic cuts. The biggest impact locally will be felt by our counties and school districts, which are more dependent on federal dollars.
The sequester will have some impact on the city’s budget. One direct impact is a 2 percent reduction in Medicare reimbursements. This amounts to approximately $25,000 cut from the revenues the city collects through its ambulance service (provided by our firefighter/paramedics). Another hit to the city’s budget will be noticed in our Community Development Block Grants, which fund programs like senior services, after-school programming and rehabilitation loans for Burnsville residents. With the city’s conservative budgeting practices, we already planned on a 10 percent cut to CDBG resources in 2013 – however, the sequester cuts 5 percent more, or an additional
$10,000. Finally, several years ago, the city took advantage of low interest rates offered by the federal government and issued “Build America Bonds” or BABs. The federal government is reducing the promised reimbursement by 2 percent – or $78,000 over the life of those bonds. All of these cuts add up to real money – but because of the long-term financial planning done at the city, the action will not immediately impact the high-quality city services you rely on every day. Heather Johnston is director of administrative services/chief financial officer for the city of Burnsville.
Bipartisanship is found in Legislature, Congress by Howard Lestrud SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Most politicians are guilty as charged, guilty of over using the words bipartisan and bipartisanship. During most election campaigns, whether it’s for city council, county board, state house, state senate, governor, U.S. house, U.S. senator or president of the United States, we will hear candidates calling for bipartisanship. When a politician sends a press release regarding legislation being proposed or adopted, it is often stated that the agreement was bipartisan. The word bipartisan is defined in the dictionary as an adjective: “representing, characterized by, or including members from two parties or factions: Government leaders hope to achieve a bipartisan foreign policy.” Sometimes political parties overstate the term bipartisan to describe an agreement. In actuality, there may have been only one member of the other party in support of a bill. To get a sense of how younger people define bipartisanship, I had the question “What does the term bipartisan mean to you?” sent to high school social studies students in Forest Lake. Seventy-seven students responded that they had no idea, or didn’t know the term. Thirteen students responded that they assumed it had something to do with “two” of something but weren’t
Sun Thisweek Columnist
Howard Lestrud sure what. Of the 120 students, 64 percent didn’t know or hadn’t heard of it, 10 percent understood the prefix “bi,” and 24 percent took a stab at what it meant. A few seemed to be right on, responding with such answers as “Bipartisan means that technically two, both, Democratic & Republican political parties are working together on a certain task.” How do politicians view the words bipartisan and bipartisanship? President Obama uses bipartisanship to describe the recent adoption of the Violence Against Women Act by the U.S. Senate: “Today the Senate passed a strong bipartisan bill to reauthorize and strengthen the Violence Against Women Act. This important step shows what we can do when we come together across party lines to take up a just cause. The bill passed by the Senate will help reduce homicides that occur from domestic violence, improve the criminal justice response to rape and sexual assault, address the high rates of dating violence experienced by young women, and provide
justice to the most vulnerable among us.” State Senate Majority Leader Thomas Bakk says bipartisanship is … a process where the two opposing sides on an issue come together, listen to each other, and recognize the opportunity for a ‘win-win’ solution to a problem. “Hard-earned, bipartisan compromise requires legislators to prioritize those things they must have and accept other things they may dislike, but can tolerate,” he said. “Though it is a difficult process, disagreements that are resolved in a bipartisan way usually result in an improved final product.” State Rep. Bob Dettmer, says bipartisanship happens when Democrats and Republicans work together to do the people’s work. “It is necessary to come together on certain issues, for example, veterans issues,” he said. “We all have principles and values and if I go against my principles and values, it’s time for me to step away from this job.” “Bipartisanship means that the things that unite us are greater than the things that divide us,” says U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar. “It is standing next to someone you don’t always agree with and working with them for the betterment of this county.” U.S. Sen. Al Franken says certain issues – like farm policy and veterans issues – enjoy a lot of bipartisan agreement in Congress.
He says frequent bipartisan agreement is found in support of industries that are vital to Minnesota’s economy, such as “fighting against burdensome taxes that would harm our medical device manufacturers, or protecting our fishing, boating, and tourism industries from invasive species.” “The most gratifying examples of bipartisanship are ones that don’t involve state or regional interests, but where we transcend party differences to work in the best interest of the entire country,” he said. “That happens more often than most people realize. For example, just last week, the Senate came together and, with a large, bipartisan majority, passed the Violence Against Women Act.” A bipartisan approach to life means that sharing our commonalities and our difference will often result in a strong agreement between two or more people. Bipartisanship is not always easy to achieve. Gridlock sometimes appears in its place because partisanship is preferred. It takes courage to step away from a party position in politics. When that happens, it results in a sharing of thoughts and values on a particular issue. ECM political editor Howard Lestrud can be reached at howard.lestrud@ecm-inc. com.

Letters Governor listens to concerns To the editor: On March 7, I joined a group of legislators and met with Gov. Mark Dayton to discuss the state budget. At the meeting, the governor listened to our input as we shared ideas and concerns about his budget. The following day at a meeting with business leaders, the governor announced that he will be dropping businessto-business taxes from his budget. Since the governor’s budget was announced I have participated in town hall meetings and sought input from constituents and small business owners, and many of you expressed a lot of concern around the business-tobusiness tax. I’m glad the governor listened to our concerns and is willing to work closely with us. Now the Legislature will be putting together a budget proposal and I will work to incorporate the priorities I’ve heard
from constituents: investments in education and our future, a budget balanced honestly and without gimmicks, and a budget that keeps Minnesota economically competitive and allows our businesses to succeed. I look forward to working with my legislative colleagues and the governor on a budget that moves Minnesota forward. As always, please feel free contact me with any comments, questions, concerns, or ideas on any legislative topic. . LAURIE HALVERSON District 51B state representative serving Eagan
State economy bears watching To the editor: Recent letters reflect the importance of continued government investment in our state’s economy. The good news about our state’s improving economic picture and resulting revenues to the state treasury are tempered by the governor’s withdrawal of business-to-business
taxes from the state’s revenue proposals. Nevertheless, the emphasis on adequate K-12 funding this year and progress on repayment of borrowed money from school funding are good news. The proof of that pudding will be the size of classes this coming fall. Failure to prime the economic pump with a good education makes any recovery short-lived. Other essential elements include ongoing funding for road and bridge repair, continued emphasis on transit development, innovative public-private partnership in areas like housing, job and business development, and help on property taxes for low-income seniors and other vulnerable people. As the economy continues to improve, there may come the cry about how we should “return the money to the taxpayers.” I hope we can consider the value of a state rainy-day fund so can retain solvency while not endangering the state’s bond rating. Over time, this has been one of the bigger challeng-

Put students first To the editor: Parents and other stakeholders should take note and become involved in the budget discussions impacting Lakeville’s schools for the 2013-2014 school year. The current draft of proposed budget cuts will eliminate 17.5 educator positions thus further reducing student support in areas such as: elementary physical education, gifted/talented, counseling, classroom teachers, along with middle school technology specialists, and high school media specialists. The proposed reductions to district administration simply balances out the staffing additions made during district “restructuring” over the past 15 months. Changes to the district’s initial proposal removed all cuts to building level administration through secondary restructuring. This original plan would have increased the number of highly trained counselors working to support students across the system, and lessened the impact of increased class sizes. When using statistics provided by the Minnesota
Last week, the photo that ran with the story of Tera McKenney’s big catch was actually a picture of a 24-inch fish she caught the morning after hauling in this 34-inch walleye to which the story had referred. Sun Thisweek regrets the error. (Photo submitted) Department of Education to compare Lakeville’s percentage of expenditures with 20 similar metro-area districts, Lakeville ranks third in spending on district and building level administration, 15th in spending on regular instruction (teachers), and 18th in instructional support (supplies). Don’t misinterpret, every employee in Lakeville schools plays a valuable role, but as we prioritize needs, those at the “ground level” of supporting students must not be eliminated in order to
maintain administration. We encourage parents to attend the district’s community budget session from 6:30-8 p.m. Tuesday, March 19, at Kenwood Trail Middle School. Help us encourage the School Board to make decisions that truly are in the best interest of students. DON SINNER President, Education Minnesota-Lakeville

Proposed Lakeville Schools budget cuts questioned
Conference was ‘phenomenal’ Lakeville Students express gratitude for opportunity
by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Concerned Lakeville Area School District staff, parents and even a couple of poem-sharing students filled the March 12 School Board meeting pleading that school counselors be spared from budget cuts. The Lakeville School Board has been wrestling with ways to cut $3.5 million from its 2013-14 budget, and while Randy Anderson, the district’s executive director of business services, has devised cost savings through ideas like re-negotiating contracted services, the board is still facing job-reduction decisions. A public presentation of the budget and proposals is at 6:30 p.m. March 19 at Kenwood Trail Middle School, 19455 Kenwood Trail. District officials have determined to consider the job, not the person, in making the cuts, but the people attached to the jobs sat in the audience frontand-center of the March 12 board meeting, looking on as difficult discussions led to more questions and a decision to finalize the list at a 6 p.m. March 20 work session at the district office. The board is to vote on the budget March 26. Staff members that included counselors and education specialists were not short of supporters, who overflowed the board room and applauded enthusiastically as speakers shared their concerns. Tyson Friedges, a Lakeville South junior, and Jessie LaSalle, a 2012 Lakeville South graduate, read a poem on behalf of the school counselors that detailed over 40 complex issues they may help students navigate, ranging from grief and loss to abuse, cutting and bully-

(Photo by Laura Adelmann) ing. Tony Reid, a longtime Lakeville resident, advocated for smaller class sizes, and physical education so children are able to learn teamwork, understand losing and gain selfconfidence. The district is considering a proposal to eliminate 2.77 full-time equivalent physical education teacher positions, possibly substituting licensed teaching time for supervision as students complete activity stations. “We can’t keep cutting the front-line people,” Reid said. “The people who have the most impact and contact with our children, those are the ones we need to keep the most.” Eastview fourth-grade teacher Jodie Sheets said class sizes are increasing (33 in her fourth-grade classroom) and described squirmy kids who need activities. “Teachers in large classes are just feeling fatigued,” she said. “Wanting to do the best they can for their class, but knowing in their hearts this isn’t
how teaching is supposed to be.” She said without another section next year, there will be 35 to 36 children in their fourth-grade homeroom class. “We cannot allow large class sizes to be an acceptable trend,” she said. Cuts the district is considering include the elimination of one activities director, a technology coordinator, three licensed technology support positions and the reduction of both a media specialist and communications specialist. Cost-savings proposals have reflected stakeholder data that indicated most supported cuts at the administrative level, utilities, transportation and the district office. In a newsletter, Lakeville Schools Superintendent Lisa Snyder said, “It was very clear that our stakeholders clearly want us to keep additional reductions away from the classroom and program levels.” The budget proposal includes cutting over

Attendance at a Florida conference has inspired some Lakeville high school students to set and achieve leadership goals and plan to attend college. Jemal Abdullahi, a sophomore at Lakeville South High School, called the Black, Brown and College Bound seminar a “phenomenal educational voyage” during a Tuesday, March 12, presentation to the Lakeville Area School Board. He aspires to be a neurosurgeon, and called the conference the best learning experience of his life. Abdullahi said he plans to give back to the community by mentoring younger students to teach what he learned there. Oscar Alvarez, a Lakeville North junior, said he plans to become the first in his family to attend college, open his own business and become a leader in the community. Jorge Espinoza, a sophomore at Lakeville North, said the conference opened his eyes to new opportunities, and inspired him to work on ways to improve how underrepresented black and brown students are understood in school. In the past, he said teachers have asked him to have his parents review a math problem or a rough draft, but his parents emigrated into the United States and never received the same level of education that he is getting in Lakeville. “They have blessed me with so much for me to succeed, but they can Laura Adelmann is at only do so much for my laura.adelmann@ecm-inc. education,” Espinoza com. said, “This is one exam-

$600,000 in administrative costs and savings in purchased and contracted services. Board members have expressed frustration at the decisions, potential cuts and fiscal challenges both due to declining enrollment (and thus reduced per-pupil funding) and increasing costs. Anderson said Lakeville receives less state aid per student than the majority of the metro area’s top 20 districts. Lakeville received $7,319 in state aid per student in 2012, while Burnsville received $8,137 from the state and Rosemount received $7,811, according to Anderson. He also stated Lakeville ranked last in the metro’s top 20 districts for General Fund revenue per student, calculated at $9,497 per student in 2012, while Burnsville received over $11,267 and Rosemount received $10,831 per student.
ple of a gap in communication between teachers and students.” Charles Vogel, a ninth-grader at Lakeville North High School, said he thought he was going to be the first one in his family to go to college, but his mother has left a job on an assembly line to pursue college herself and be a role model for him and his younger sisters. Sebastian Lopez, a sophomore at Lakeville South called the conference “life changing.” He said he learned to steer away from distractions at school like social media. Lopez said he ended his freshman year with a “C” average because he was consumed with social media, but this year has increased his grades to A’s and B’s. After attending the conference, Lopez said he wants to use his experience to encourage younger students. “I plan to share the outcomes and risks on school performance when consumed by distractions inside and outside of school,” he said. “I feel obligated to share how important school is to the future of your life.” Eddie Ayesu a 10thgrader at the Alternative Learning Center expressed gratitude for being allowed to attend the conference and shared the struggles of being in the minority at the school district. “Being in a mostly Caucasian school district, a lot of us, all we want is to be wanted,” Ayesu said.

Investigators believe the fire started in the living room, but were unable to pinpoint an exact ignition source, said Eagan Fire Marshal Darrin Bramwell. “There were multiple ignition sources that we were unable to rule out,” he said. In addition to the deaths, the home was declared a total loss.

Apple Valley man charged with murder of wife, unborn child by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Prosecutors say an Apple Valley man was behind the violent death of his pregnant wife. Roger Earl Holland, 36, was charged in district court Monday with two counts of second-degree murder – one count in connection with his wife’s death, the other for the death of the couple’s unborn child. Police found Holland’s 37-year-old wife, Margorie Ann Holland, lying at the bottom of a stairway in her apartment at 6568 157th St. W. after her husband called 911 at about 10 a.m. on Thursday, March 7, to report that she was having a heart attack. She was taken to Fairview Ridges Hospital in

Roger Earl Holland Burnsville, where after resuscitation efforts she was declared dead at about 11:30 a.m. According to the criminal complaint, Roger Holland told police that he’d left the apartment the morning of March 7 to purchase breakfast for himself and his wife, and that when he returned home he found her facedown on the floor and unresponsive. He said he began CPR before call-
ing 911 to report that his wife was in cardiac arrest. Police and medical personnel, however, found bruises, abrasions and a neck injury consistent with strangulation on Margorie Holland, who was 15 weeks pregnant, the criminal complaint said. Holland told police his relationship with his wife was good – that they’d been married three years, were both members of the National Guard and had been living in their Apple Valley apartment since December 2012. But text messages on the couple’s phones told a different story. Officers went through the Hollands’ cell phones and, in a number of deleted text messages, found numerous arguments between the couple, including concerns about their financial situation, the complaint said. The last text-message
argument occurred the night before Margorie Holland’s death, prosecutors said, and was an exchange around 9:30 p.m. in which Margorie Holland sent her husband a text indicating she planned to divorce him. Roger Holland remained in the Dakota County Jail as of Wednesday with bail set at $1 million, or $750,000 with conditions including that he surrender his passport and not leave Minnesota without written court approval. Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom said he intends to convene a grand jury to review the case for possible additional charges. If convicted of the two counts of murder, Holland faces a maximum penalty of 80 years in prison. His next court appearance is April 3. Email Andrew Miller at andrew.miller@ecm-inc.com.

Two Burnsville residents sentenced in federal drug case Two Burnsville residents were sentenced on March 4 for conspiring to possess and sell about 250 grams of cocaine. Appearing in federal court in St. Paul, McCelendon Miller, 26, was sentenced to four years and four months in federal prison. Kelly Suzette Chase, 28, received probation. A third defendant, Brian Funtaneous Mack, 26, of Robbinsdale, was sentenced on March 6 to four years and three months in federal prison, also for conspiracy to
possess and sell cocaine. All three pleaded guilty last September, according to the U.S. attorney’s office in Minneapolis. Miller made arrangements to obtain cocaine from a source in Chicago, and after Miller’s arrest, his girlfriend, Chase, obtained the cocaine from Mack. Miller also directed Chase to store the cocaine in their Burnsville apartment. On Feb. 9, 2012, during the execution of a search warrant at the apartment, officers
seized 249 grams of cocaine, along with a firearm, in a safe. The case was the result of an investigation by the Twin Cities Safe Streets Violent Gang Task Force, which is led by the FBI and includes the Minneapolis Police Department. The task force targets the most violent gangs operating in the Twin Cities and those engaged in largescale trafficking of illegal drugs.

Commissioners attend NACo conference Dakota County commissioners joined more than 1,500 county officials from across the United States earlier this month as they attended the National Association of Counties’ 2013 Legislative Conference in Washington, D.C. With talk of fiscal cliffs and sequestration cuts dominating headlines, the group of county representatives gathered to demonstrate to Congress and federal officials that the nation’s 3,069 county governments provide essential building blocks to create healthy, vibrant and safe communities. Through their message, called “Why Counties Matter,� county officials asked leaders in Washington to work collaboratively with them and stop making it difficult for county governments to provide for their communities. Many federal issues affecting counties were discussed at the NACo conference, including preserving the tax-exempt status of municipal bonds, replacing the sequestration and protecting the federal-state-local partnership for Medicaid.

Zookeeper of the Year is in his element among the carnivores
Area man injured in Rice County crash
Dealing with tigers, leopards and grizzly bears is all in a day’s work for eight-year Minnesota Zoo staff member Ben Sutton. Sutton, who works primarily with carnivores on the Northern Trail exhibit, was recently named the zoo’s 2012 Zookeeper of the Year. “I’ve learned many things working at the zoo, and working with these amazing animals as well as a great team of people every day is a dream come true for me,” said Sutton, a St. Paul resident who was nominated by a fellow staff member for the award. In addition to his zookeeping duties, Sutton is involved with training and enrichment programs for the animals, and can often
A Rosemount man was injured, and his vehicle was totaled, in a two-vehicle collision last week in Rice County. Michael G. Stewart, 35, was taken to Northfield Hospital with minor injuries following the crash at about 6 a.m. Thursday, March 7, on Highway 19 west of Northfield. According to the Minnesota State Patrol, Stewart was driving a 2007 Freightliner Tilt west on Highway 19 when an eastbound 1997 Ford Explorer driven by 30-year-old Cody R. Franzoni of Minneapolis crossed the centerline and collided head-on with Stewart’s vehicle. Franzoni suffered serious injuries and was transported to Hennepin County Medical Center, the State Patrol said. Franzoni was not wearing a seatbelt when the crash occurred and alcohol was detected in his system, according to the State Patrol. Stewart was wearing a seatbelt and no alcohol was detected in his system. Both vehicles were totaled in the crash and had to be towed from the scene. Conditions were dry on the two-lane, undivided highway at the time of the accident, the State Patrol said. —Andrew Miller
be seen training bears Sadie, Kenai and Haines at the Russia’s Grizzly Coast exhibit. Before coming to the Minnesota Zoo, Sutton worked at a humane society in Colorado for three years. He holds a zookeeping technology degree from Pikes Peak Community College in Colorado. Kevin Willis, the zoo’s director of biological programs, said Sutton was deserving of the award as he goes “above and beyond to take exceptional care of the Minnesota Zoo’s Northern Trail carnivores.” “This award is a real achievement, as it is recognition from his peers on the high quality of his Amur tigers are among the carnivores that Zookeeper of the Year Ben Sutton works with on the Minnesota Zoo’s work,” Willis said. —Andrew Miller Northern Trail.

Parents, staff question Impact Academy proposal More informational meetings planned in Lakeville Area School District by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
A plan to expand K-3 learning options at Lakeville’s Orchard Lake Elementary School next year raised many questions from parents and staff during a March 11 informational meeting. Proposed by seven OLE staff, led by Lakeville Learning Specialist Julene Oxton, “Impact Academy” may be offered next fall for up to 108 OLE K-3 students and potentially expand to grades 4-5 in 2014-15. Impact Academy students would be grouped by learning level in reading, writing and math and advance at their own pace. Half-walls would separate areas in the school’s media center, proposed to be transformed into Impact Academy’s learning space. Shelves of books and resources would be moved into two classrooms, and a media center brick wall is proposed to be torn out to add space to accommo-

Board Chair Roz Peterson called the program’s sustainability “really, really important because we can’t start a program and then just dismantle it a couple years later because of lack of funding.” Several longtime OLE teachers expressed concerns they may be “pushed out” to a different school if Impact Academy was implemented at OLE. Oxton said if the option was offered next year, some anchor teacher positions would be posted district-wide and could lead to moving OLE teachers to other schools. Positions could also change based on declining enrollment and seniority, she said. Concerns were also expressed about the lack of communication about Impact Academy provided to OLE parents and staff members not part of the Impact Academy committee. Peterson said school staff did not want to “overstep their bounds” by disseminating informa-

tion on something not yet approved by the School Board. The topic has been discussed at public School Board work sessions. Questions also arose regarding the future of the program and how it would affect teachers in the long term. Lakeville Schools Superintendent Lisa Snyder has said she supports the education model districtwide, and School Board members have said the current classroom-model teaching methods cannot be financially sustained by the district. There is no clear understanding of how Impact Academy might be implemented or funded in “phase two” of the program in 2014-15. The program could be expanded to other schools, remain at OLE as a “school within a school” or be eliminated if it does not attract students. School Board members have discussed the possibility that the program could attract families to

the district and help boost per-pupil funding. Some staff members indicated the change is causing stress within the school. “Change is hard,” Oxton said. “It’s not like it’s easy for the development team. It’s not easy for staff. What I want us to walk away with, and I hope that you have seen it, is a passion for kids. I’ve never had any intention to do anything except to help kids.” Lakeville parent Chris Walker said he liked the idea of individualized learning, and called the meeting “very informative.” “There’s a group of seven teachers that have put together a plan to give students an opportunity to learn differently and possibly learn better,” Walker said. “I’m completely for that. I think it’s great we have teachers thinking that way and who put this together.” He said his daughter, who will be a first-grader next year, “will definitely be on the list” for Impact Academy if it is offered at OLE. Parent Dean Ewald said he needed more information and input regarding Impact Academy. “You get the feeling that a decision has already been made,” he said. Gretal St. Onge, a former teacher and parent of two OLE students, said she supports the model because it helps teachers better meet the needs of students. She said her daughter who struggles with some subjects would find it more encouraging to be with students at the same level. “She could only benefit from it,” St. Onge said. Additional meetings about Impact Academy are scheduled in the OLE Media Room on March 22 at 11 a.m., March 25 at 7 p.m. and April 11 at 7 p.m. Another meeting will be held March 26 at 6 p.m. at the Southwind Village Community Room, 15001 Greenhaven Drive, Burnsville. The School Board is expected to vote on Impact Academy at its March 26 meeting. Originally, the board was to have made a decision at its March 12 meeting, but after numerous questions were raised, delayed the action and the district scheduled informational meetings. In an interview, Peterson said the board needs more information about how Impact Academy will work and be sustained. “The fact that they have come up with a cost-neutral plan is crucial, otherwise we wouldn’t even be having this conversation,” she said.

Farmington’s Dodge Middle School student council was recognized for its efforts to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Former home health aide gets 10 days by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
A former Eagan home health aide will spend 10 days in jail for stealing prescription drugs from an elderly client. Catrina Deloris Elwell, 26, was sentenced in Dakota County District Court on March 5 to 20 days in jail after pleading guilty to second-degree
burglary, a felony. The Burnsville resident received credit for 10 days she had already served. She is expected to begin serving the additional 10 days in August. District Judge Timothy McManus also order Elwell to serve three years of probation. Elwell stole about 179 oxycodone pills from a woman she cared for at a
senior living facility in Eagan. She is no longer employed there. Elwell was charged with second-degree burglary and theft last August. The theft charge was dismissed. Jessica Harper is at jessica. harper@ecm-inc.com or facebook.com/sunthisweek.

Council will now meet at 5:30 p.m. The Burnsville City Council is changing its meeting time from 6:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., beginning with the Tuesday, April 9, council work session. Council members agreed to the change at their March 12 work session. Mayor Elizabeth Kautz pointed to a Feb. 19 council meeting that was begun
at 5 p.m. in order to secure a quorum because two council members were out of town and another had to catch a plane that evening. The earlier time seemed to work well for Fairview Ridges Hospital representatives who were before the council for expansionrelated matters, according to Kautz. The earlier time may
work better for applicants and citizens alike, officials suggested. The council is expected to approve the new meeting time in an ordinance change next Tuesday. The council meets most Tuesdays, alternating between regular meetings and work sessions. — John Gessner

so or vomit throughout the rest of the interview. Gasior denied shaking his child; however, he broke down when answering hypothetical questions admitting he had messed up. He told police he was worried his children would be taken away if he confessed. He admitted in some moments of frustration he “plopped” the infant on a mattress or couch. The child’s leg was twisted when he dropped the child on the bed the previous week. “No one should ever do those things to a kid,” he allegedly said, then cried and apologized. On his third interview with police on Feb. 21, Gasior admitted he needed anger management counseling. He said he could have injured the child during diaper changes and was aggressive. He believed the rib fractures were sustained in late January or early February when he grabbed the infant who was acting “irritable” tightly around his chest. He stated these incidents occurred after he argued with the child’s mother.
Gasior said the brain bleeding could also have been sustained in late January or early February. He said the child would not stop crying, so he shook the infant about three times without supporting his head. He recalled seeing the head bounce back and forth and noticed problems with the child’s eyes the next day or so. The county issued a warrant for his arrest after medical personnel alerted Eagan police on March 4 that a second skeletal survey that revealed the infant had seven fractured ribs. Both counts related to Gasior’s son are felony charges and each holds a penalty of up to five years in prison and or a $3,000 to $10,000 fine. The felony charge of domestic assault by strangulation carries up to three years in prison and/or up to $5,000 fine. The other counts are gross misdemeanors with lighter sentences.
baby was brought into the emergency room for possible breathing problems. An X-ray revealed that the child had a new fracture in his leg with an old fracture underneath. According to the criminal complaint, the physician raised concern that this was possibly abusive trauma. After interviewing the child’s mother, the police spoke with Gasior three separate times. On Feb. 18, he offered different accidental explanations for the injuries. The next day, a CT scan showed the infant had small areas of hemorrhage in both cerebral areas. Medical personnel told police that the amount of bleeding and appearance of possible rib fractures raises concern that the infant experienced abusive head trauma. Police met with Gasior again on Feb. 20, and he gave a number of different explanations for his son’s injuries. When police informed Gasior of the bleeding, he allegedly began to dry heave and continued to do

THRIFT, from 1A ing authority. But other council members said it was time to get a handle on concerns about appearance, storage and on-site traffic circulation at thrift stores, as well as their potential proliferation in the Burnsville Center area. Council members also voiced concern about the loss of tax base if the Ultimate Electronics building were bought by The Arc, a nonprofit that rents space for its stores in other cities. Now the council is considering new rules recommended after a study of thrift stores in Burnsville and other cities. Thrift stores aren’t specifically addressed in Burnsville’s city code. Burnsville has 17 thrift stores – for-profit and nonprofit – which include general merchandise secondhand stores but also pawn shops, antique shops, consignment shops, collectibles shops and specialty thrift stores. The proposed new zoning rules address the larger, general merchandise stores of 5,000 or more square feet. They have on-site col-
lections, used-goods processing, storage and waste disposal that may not fit with the shopping centers in which they’re located, according to Alan Brixius, the planning consultant who did the study. Those stores may resort to outside storage or storage in semitrailers – already subject to zoning restrictions – because the malls they’re located in aren’t set up for such operations, according to Brixius. “We have some of that within the community,” he said. “We have that more often beyond Burnsville because I think you do a good job as far as enforcement.” Brixius proposes that stores of 5,000 feet or larger be classified as conditional uses with new rules, including: • No outside storage allowed. • No drive-throughs in front or side-street yards. • Segregated drivethrough lanes. • Screening of drivethrough lanes. • Minimum stacking room of 160 feet, enough for eight vehicles. Future stores and those seeking to expand would
be subject to the new rules and required to get conditional use permits. Thrift stores smaller than 5,000 square feet wouldn’t be allowed any outdoor operations. Keeping thrift stores from proliferating in the Burnsville Center area would require a further restriction, Brixius suggested. The council could zone the entire area – now B-3, or general business – under a new classification that would specifically prohibit all thrift stores or those larger than 5,000 square feet. As for the fear of losing tax base to a building purchase by a nonprofit, that’s a nonstarter. Brixius’ study says case law affirms that cities mustn’t distinguish between for-profit and nonprofit businesses in zoning matters.
Burnsville a popular thrift location
Simply because it has more retail than its neighbors, Burnsville has far more such businesses, Faulkner said. The city has 17 thrift stores or secondhand dealers, compared with four in Apple Valley, nine in Bloomington, four in Eagan, two in Lakeville and three in Savage. It has nine such stores within a mile and a half of Burnsville Center. That’s more than Maplewood, Minnetonka and Roseville, which also have regional shopping malls, but less than Edina, which has 13 within a mile and a half of Southdale. Thrift stores are growing more popular nationwide. Last year, the number of stores grew by 4 percent, according to Brixius. “The appeal of thrift store shopping is growing beyond low-income households to include middle- and upper-income households,” said his report, which adds that younger shoppers find the lower prices to be sensible or even “cool.”
The proposals include writing a definition of John Gessner can be reached thrift stores, of which at (952) 846-2031 or email Burnsville has an abun- john.gessner@ecm-inc.com. dance.

The first time Hannah Wilken met the Air Force Academy gymnastics coach, he was there to see somebody else. Doug Day came to the Thompson Academy of Gymnastics facility a few years ago to watch a potential recruit. While there, he gave Wilken an Air Force Academy brochure. Day wasn’t able to recruit the gymnast he was there to see. But the visit made an impression on Wilken, who brought the brochure home, looked it over with her mother, and started thinking about what it would be like to go to the academy. She’ll find out in June when she reports for basic training. Wilken, an Eagan High School senior, also will compete in gymnastics at Air Force while studying biology. “My grandpa was in the Air Force and my uncle is in the National Guard, so I grew up with a little bit of a military background,” Wilken said. She said she also liked the gymnastics program and bonded well with her future teammates. Three gymnasts on Air Force’s 2012-13 roster are from Minnesota. Wilken has trained at TAGS South in Apple Valley her entire career. She is in her second season as a Level 10 gymnast. Last year she qualified for the USA Gymnastics Junior Olympic National Invitational Tournament and finished seventh on the uneven bars. Next week she will compete in the state championships, hoping to start the process toward reach-

Ray has been leading the girls basketball program for six years coaching a number of girls who have gone on to play at the NCAA Division 1 or Division 2 level. Ray is stepping down from the program to spend more time with his family and will continue to work as an educational assistant at Burnsville High School.
Head varsity volleyball coach Kim Fritz and head girls basketball coach Steve Ray have recently announced their resignations from coaching at Burnsville High School. Fritz has been at the helm of the volleyball program for three years, winning a share of the conference title last fall and being named the South Suburban Conference Coach of the Year. She is leaving the program to start a family Email Andy Rogers at with her husband and will andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

The Eagan High School senior recently received an appointment to the academy and will compete in gymnastics there. (Photo submitted) ing another national meet. Although Wilken considered colleges that aren’t service academies, such as St. Olaf, she quickly decided she wanted to see if she could get in at Air Force. She received a nomination from U.S. Rep. John Kline and accepted the appointment Jan. 28. There were approximately 1,200 appointments to the Air Force Academy out of 12,000 applications. First, she had to go though an interview process with members of Kline’s staff and representatives of Minnesota’s U.S. senators, Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken. “For sure, I was nervous,” Wilken said. “But I had practiced with my dad. I didn’t think it was too bad. “They asked me a lot of questions about character and a lot of questions about leadership. That was a big topic, and I un-
derstand why.” Wilken said she talked to current Air Force gymnasts about balancing the demands of academic life at a service academy with competing in a Division I sport. They told her it’s difficult, but doable. “You are able to get out of class early to go to practice,” she said. Day, the Air Force coach, has some Minnesota connections. He used to coach at the TAGS Eden Prairie gym and is a former assistant coach at the University of Minnesota. College coaches tend to scout club programs for recruits more than high school programs. The time demands on club gymnasts are considerable. Wilken said she trains about 18 hours a week, in addition to competing in meets. Club gymnasts have to achieve an all-around qualifying score to go to nationals, but they can
medal in individual events once they get there. Although Wilken finished in the top 10 on bars at last year’s Junior Olympic NIT, she said it’s probably her toughest event. “It can be frustrating,” she said. “It’s never come easily for me. Even if you come in with a lot of confidence, you can have a bad routine on bars.” Wilken will have a five-year Air Force commitment once she graduates from the academy. She said she hopes dental school is in her future but, much like getting into a service academy, being accepted to dental school is no easy feat. If dental school doesn’t work out, Wilken said “maybe I’ll have to look at aviation,” noting that she will have gone to the right place for that.

The Eastview girls basketball team has made its second-straight visit and its sixth trip to state overall this week after winning the Section 3-4A title on March 7 over Park of Cottage Grove. The girls took an early lead and fought off any advances to beat the Wolfpack 61-45 at Hamline University in St. Paul. The Lightning had a height advantage against Park and ran with it. Forwards Hana Metoxen had 19 points and Tyra Johnson added 14. Madison Guebert also had 19 points. “We knew it was going to be a tough game,” head coach Melissa Guebert said. “I was really proud of how our kids set the tone.” Disciplined defense, quick transitions, unselfish passing and quality
shot selection throughout gave Eastview a confident victory. “I’m overwhelmed. It’s really exciting,” Johnson said. “We really worked hard on running through every play and just on the little things.” The Lightning had a 16-point lead at halftime, but Park wouldn’t go away. With six minutes left, Park cut the lead to eight points. “The game can change so fast with the threepoint shot, I just told them to not get rattled,” Melissa Guebert said. “We just stayed the course. Just looking at the kids by their body language, I knew that they were OK.” Composure was the name of Eastview’s game. “Our coach really pushes up to be composed,” Metoxen said. “We knew the fans would be loud. But right now we played the best we’ve ever played as a team.”

In turn, Eastview made its free throws and punched its secondstraight ticket to state. “We worked so hard over the summer and we knew we had to get to this game,” Metoxen said. The girls received a significant emotional boost from their fans as well, even though across town the Eastview boys hockey team was playing at the state tournament. “We were worried about what our crowd would look like,” Melissa Guebert said. “I was so proud of our turnout. They really helped us.”
Eastview was given the No. 3 seed in the Class 4A state tournament.

A loss stoked Eastview skaters’ fire After first state appearance in 12 years, future looks promising by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Some pointed to a tournament in Rochester as a springboard for Eastview’s run to the state boys hockey tournament. Others cited back-toback victories over Eagan and Prior Lake in January for putting more swagger in the Lightning’s stride. For Eastview coach Drey Bradley, a loss might have made the biggest difference. It happened Jan. 8. The Lightning came in with four victories in a row, its longest winning streak of the season, and was about to play Rosemount, a lower-division team in the South Suburban Conference. “They beat us 3-0 in our building,” Bradley said. Turning to assistant coach Sam Bauler, Bradley said, “Sam, do you remember our practice the next day?” Bauler flashed a small grin and nodded slightly. “There were no pucks at that practice,” said Bradley. When a hockey coach takes away the pucks at practice, it almost always means there will be a lot of hard skating as the coach tries to get a point across. “Let’s just say we got their attention,” Bradley said. The message – that the Lightning can’t just show up at the rink thinking it’s
Eastview’s Cole Cooper take control of the puck at state. (Photo by Rick Orndorf) won before the game even starts – was received, and Eastview went 11-5-1 in its last 16 games, ending with a 5-2 loss to Moorhead on Saturday in the consolation final at the state Class AA tournament. Eastview was at its best in the Section 3AA tournament, outscoring three opponents 12-1 and upsetting top-seeded Eagan 4-1 in the championship game. That sent the Lightning to state for the first time since 2001. Now the coaches are looking for ways to carry the success over to next season and try to ensure that it won’t be 12 years before the next state appearance. It won’t be easy. Eagan, which won the section the previous two years, figures to have even more motivation next season. The
section also picks up St. Thomas Academy, which is moving to Class AA after winning the last three Class A championships. Eastview should be plenty motivated next year too, Bradley said. “The guys have tasted it,” he said. “They had a few extra games at Xcel Center and Mariucci Arena, two great places to play. “We lose a number of key seniors, but we have a good core of underclassmen. And now that they’ve been to the state tournament, they should be hungry.” Eastview finished 1911-1 after winning one of three games at the state tournament. The Lightning had a rough start against No. 1 seed Hill-Murray in the quarterfinal round March
Eastview’s John Snodgrass (9) shoots a goal against Hill-Murray in the Class AA state quarterfinal game at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul on March 7. (Photo by Rick Orndorf) 7, falling behind 4-0 early in the second period and eventually losing 6-3. “We wanted to go out, give a good effort and look at the scoreboard halfway through and still see a tight game,” Bradley said. “But that didn’t quite happen for us.” Said senior defenseman Mitch Beattie: “We kind of got distracted by the big lights and we’re inexperienced with all these things going on around us. But as our coach said, once we got back on our feet we seemed to be able to play with those guys.” Sophomore defenseman Keith Muehlbauer, junior forward Mitchell
Cerrato and junior forward Brett Schweiger scored Eastview’s goals against Hill-Murray. Cerrato’s second goal of the game with 1:27 to play was the game-winner as Eastview defeated Centennial 3-2 in a consolation semifinal game March 8. That gave the Lightning a chance for one more game, and its season ended with Saturday’s loss to Moorhead. Senior forward Ryan McNamara also scored against Centennial. Jake McGlocklin and McNamara had Eastview’s goals in the Moorhead game. Next year’s team should be strong from
the goal out with the return of Zach Driscoll, a sophomore who became the starting goalie in late December. Returning forwards include McGlocklin, who played on the first line, and the second line of Cerrato, John Snodgrass and Cole Cooper. Muehlbauer and Pierce Erickson will anchor the defense. Getting the players to work hard shouldn’t be a problem, Bradley said, because they know after this season that nothing comes easily. Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

His teams reached seven section championship games. “It has been an absolute honor and privilege to represent Apple Valley High School as the boys hockey coach for the past 15 seasons,” Hayes said in a statement released by the school. “I have always treated the position
as a huge responsibility to represent the school and the community as well as we could. I hope that spirit was conveyed these past years.” Before coming to Apple Valley, Hayes coached at Minneapolis Southwest for three years, and his teams won 45 games.

tral Texas College. “It was a good distraction,� he said of the studies. He left active duty in 1998 and eventually wound up near Lansing, Mich., working as an officer with the Ingham County Sheriff’s Department. Young finished an associate’s degree through Lansing Community College while also serving with the Reserves and then the National Guard. Minneapolis police recruiters came to Michigan in 2005, and Young was
hired. Settling in Minnesota, he connected with St. Mary’s University of Minnesota, which offers accelerated bachelor’s degree programs geared to nontraditional students. Young arrived with 70 credits under his belt. St. Mary’s granted him 35 ACE-recommended credits, leaving Young with 36 more to earn. He took most of his courses at a St. Mary’s satellite site in Apple Valley. Young also found a kindred spirit in Don Winger, his police science program
adviser at St. Mary’s. Winger is a Vietnam vet, a former St. Paul police commander and a retired Maplewood police chief. Already an experienced cop, Young was a mentor and role model to other students in the program, Winger said. “He’s a deep thinker who’s just a pleasure to have in the classroom, who cares about the other students,� said Winger, who joined two St. Mary’s deans in nominating Young for the Adult Learner of the Year Award.

After Young settled on St. Mary’s as his finishing school, life got in the way again. In 2009 he got orders to go to Iraq with the 151st Field Artillery of the Minnesota National Guard. Deployed from April 2009 to April 2010, Young commanded a radar unit on a forward operating base on the Iranian border. His team tracked the skies for incoming mortars and rockets. “We took a lot of incoming rounds during the time we were there,� Young said. “The mission of the FOB was to interdict along the Iranian border for insurgents coming across.� After Iraq he was asked to attend officer candidate school and was promoted to lieutenant. That put him in line for a captaincy – another reason, he said, to finish that college degree in timely fashion. “You can’t advance if you don’t have your degree, and you’re on a timeline as well,� Young said. He earned a Lifesaving Award from the Minneapolis police in 2011 for dislodging a grape from a choking 8-month-old baby whose non-English-speaking parents had called 911. Young received a Medal of Commendation last year after interrupting a woman’s beating by a man who had broken into her apartment and was threatening to kill her. The man is in prison now. Young wound up in a brace after breaking his back when he and the man tumbled down the stairs midstruggle. Almost a year later, he was recently cleared to return to patrol. Young was in the brace when he finished his degree in December. What didn’t hurt was the 3.92 grade-point average he’d accumulated over years of coursework. “I have a couple of Aminuses that knocked me down,� said Young, whose wife, Heather, gave birth to their first child, son Sean, on New Year’s Day 2012, and is now expecting their second. “Maybe a Bplus. I did pretty good.� In May he’ll begin work on a master’s degree in criminal justice through Arizona State University.

BHS students head to science fair Students from Burnsville High School have been selected to participate in the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) – the premiere science competition in the world for students in grades 9-12. Sarah Davidson and Emily Wollmuth will be taking their research on the “Effects of Human Airway Secretions on Pseudomonas Aeruginosa� to ISEF in Phoenix, Ariz., May 11-17. They will be among 1,500 high school students from 70 countries submitting their research to be judged by doctoral level scientists and competing for nearly $4 million in prizes and scholarships. Davidson and Wollmuth qualified during the 2013 Twin Cities Regional Science and Engineering Fair at the University of Minnesota recently. Also at the event, many other Burnsville High school students received recognition for their research including special awards and ribbons. Several will continue on to state competition. The complete list is available at www.isd191. org.
Kaske delegated Gov. Mark Dayton announced recently that Burnsville High School senior Ericka Kaske will be one of two Minnesota delegates to the National Youth Science Camp in West Virginia from June 26 to July 20.

JOURNEY, from 1A cycling, but it’s a really worthwhile reason,” Laurel said. “I feel this is something I can do to engage in the world.” By the end, Laurel was exhausted but felt a sense of pride knowing what she accomplished, she said. Laurel said her trip across the state enabled her to see the landscape in more detail than driving in a car. She said she is excited to have the same view while traveling the country. Knowing her father’s passion for cycling and charitable causes, Laurel invited him to join her in her journey across the United States. The duo have already started training by hitting the gym and taking spin classes. They hope to take their training outdoors as soon as snow melts.
Jeff and Laurel Anderson of Eagan have participated in several bike races for charity. Jeff rode from Minnesota to Chicago a few years ago to raise money for AIDS research. (Photo by Jessica Harper) In addition to prepar- challenges. ing themselves physically “On the first day, you for the feat, Jeff and Lau- feel good but by the secrel prepare for the mental ond day, you’re tired and
not as excited and sore,” Jeff said, recalling his ride to Chicago. “It’s challenging to still feel strong and
not let yourself get tired.” The team’s endurance will be tested by mountains, the possibility of poor weather and time. When times get tough, Jeff said he will remind himself of the reward. “It’s remembering that we are so blessed here in America,” Jeff said. “We are hopefully making a difference.” The Andersons’ trip aims to raise funds for two projects in Southeast Asia. The first will provide emergency medical supplies to Burmese refugees living in camps on the Thai-Myanmar border. Burmese refugees have flooded Thailand and other nations for nearly five decades to escape oppressive militant rule. The project also aims to provide education, tutoring and trafficking prevention training for chil-
dren living in the camps. The second project will support a community center in Thailand. Jeff and Laurel hope to raise $6,500 for the trip. A portion will cover the cost of the ride, while the rest will go toward the Southeast Asian projects. The team as a whole hopes to raise more than $20,000. All donations are taxdeductible and can be made under either Jeff or Laurel’s name at www. ventureexpeditions.org/ page/donate-now. This summer, area residents can follow the duo on Laurel’s blog, laurelsbikeblog.blogspot.com, and on their Facebook page, “Jeff and Laurel’s Bike Ride Across America.” Jessica Harper is at jess i c a . h a r p e r @ e c m - i n c. com or facebook.com/sunthisweek.
Lough earns Eagle Scout rank Zachary Lough, 18, of Eagan, has earned the highest advancement award the Boy Scouts of America offers to scouts, the Eagle Scout Award. Lough was recognized at an Eagle Scout Court of Honor on Sunday, March 10, at Peace Reformed Church in Eagan. Lough, a member of Troop 446 of Eagan, is one of approximately 2 percent of all Boy Scouts who attain the Eagle rank. Eagle Scout candidates must earn 21 merit badges and complete a community service project. Lough’s project consisted of making a paver walkway though an island in the north parking lot of Peace Church where he is a member. He led a team to tear out old rocks, overgrown shrubs and two curbs, then pour new curbs, lay the path of pavers, and install two granite benches, totaling more than 325 hours.

Thisweekend Spinning a web of wonder ‘Charlotte’s Web’ comes to Lakeville Area Arts Center March 15-24 by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
A local children’s theater group is bringing the timeless wonder of “Charlotte’s Web” to the stage of the Lakeville Area Arts Center this month – giant spider webs and all. Young actors with Lakeville-based The Play’s The Thing Productions, ranging in age from 6 to 16, will be donning animal costumes and presenting a musical version of the classic E.B.

In April, the group will present the Old West-themed musical comedy “Wagon Wheels-a-Rollin” at Boeckman Middle School in Farmington. Presentations of “The Princess King,” “Disney’s Little
