A late amendment to legislation allowing gay marriage in Minnesota turned state Rep. Pat Garofalo’s vote from “no” to “yes” last Thursday. The Farmington representative, who attends All Saints Catholic Church in Lakeville, said it was a “religious freedom amendment” that turned the tide for the five-term Republican. Garofalo was one of four Republican House members to approve the bill in the 75-59 margin. The Senate followed with a 37-30 vote Monday to pass the bill, which was signed into law by Gov. Mark Dayton on Tuesday. Garofalo stressed the importance of the amendment offered by Rep.

Republican Sen. Dan Hall of Burnsville, who represents District 56, said legislation legalizing samesex marriage could spark DFL Rep. Laurie Halverson of Eagan, who represents civil disobedience. District 51B, said feedback from her consitituents is “very much in favor” of her vote for same-sex marriage.

Karen Clark, DFL-Minneapolis, a lesbian lawmaker, successfully amended the bill to insert the word “civil” in references to marriage. FitzSimmons, who voted for the bill, said the addition of the word was to make plain that what happens in the courthouse and what happens in a church, synagogue, or mosque in terms of marriage are two different things. Clark’s legislation contained a provision stating religious organizations, associations or societies have sole control over their doctrine and that a licensed or ordained minister cannot be fined, penalized or subject to civil liability for reSee MARRIAGE, 15A

City’s pavement a cut below neighboring cities’ by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Drivers who find the ride a bit rougher in Burnsville than in younger, neighboring suburbs are onto something. Burnsville’s average “pavement condition index” reading is 57, compared with superior PCI readings of 69 in Lakeville, 74 in Apple Valley and 83 in Eagan. The comparisons are somewhat subjective, Burnsville officials caution, but the low number is a cautionary signal for a city that began building streets in earnest more than 50 years ago and began rebuilding them in 1990. More money — beyond what the city spends annually from its infrastructure trust fund and its share of state aid for streets — could eventually be required for it to catch up

The city of Burnsville is poised to sign a deal with a hotel developer, completing one of the last pieces of unfinished business in the Heart of the City redevelopment district. The City Council, acting as the Economic Development Commission, is scheduled to vote June 4 on the sale of city-owned land north of the Performing Arts Center to hotel firm Akota Hospitality LLC of Dickinson, N.D., according to Skip Nienhaus, Burnsville’s economic development coordinator. An Akota representative, Joel Cary, didn’t return a reporter’s phone call. The $503,600 sale has been reviewed by the city’s Economic Development Commission, which recommended approval on May 8. Akota appears to be interested in building a Hilton Garden Inn, Nienhaus said. The city’s proposed contract with Akota requires a hotel of at least 90 rooms, including a restau-

rant, meeting space and about 55 parking spaces. Construction must begin within 90 days of approval of a planned unit development that must be submitted no later than Jan. 31, 2014. A hotel has always been part of Burnsville’s plan for the Heart of the City, Nienhaus said. The redevelopment effort grew from initial city efforts in the 1990s to improve the Nicollet Avenue and Burnsville Parkway streetscapes. The hotel has gone waiting while other plans for the Heart of the City – the arts center, an urban park, mixed residential and commercial uses – materialized. “It certainly took a while, but yes, it did happen,” Nienhaus said. The 1.75-acre hotel parcel is the last remaining piece of 6.24 acres the city bought in 2001 from AAA Minnesota/Iowa. The contract with Akota calls for the company to pay $503,600 – more than Dakota County’s $457,600 valuation but well below See HOTEL, 16A

Money problems are forcing Sobriety High to close both of its campuses, in Burnsville and Coon Rapids. “I heard about the school closing, it must have been like two weeks ago,” Hinze said. “And I was devastated, because this school has been my life for, like, two years.” The charter school campuses are closing because they’ll be a combined $400,000 short of the funds needed to hold See SCHOOL, 16A

Cooler heads prevail in crisis Snyder: ‘It was a problem-solving day’ by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Flood closes Lakeville school for rest of the year Disaster splits student population among four different District 194 schools by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

After the second bang, large metal floor drain covers blasted two feet skyward as water shot forth in the boiler room “like a geyser,” said Jeff Mohn, head custodian at Cherry View Elementary, the Lakeville school that closed after a water main flooded the building 8:30 a.m. Monday, May 13. Beneath Mohn’s feet, the floor broke apart as the pressurized water blast heaved the concrete up 8 to 10 inches, knocking sheetrock into the ceiling and shifting piping systems cemented in the floor. The building’s massive boiler, sitting on an elevated four-inch concrete slab was knocked several inches off-kilter during the water blast that Mohn said lasted about 20 minutes as city crews searched for the water main shut off outside the building. Water poured into the building, flowing from the boiler room into the gym and commons, which features amphitheater-style tiered seating and filled the area about two feet deep, Mohn said. “It was like a swimming pool,” Lakeville Schools Superintendent Lisa Snyder said. Linda Swanson, the district’s communications coordinator, said “a lot of water was pouring right into the building,” and was about one inch deep. “When I walked in the front door, water was coming down the hallway,” Swanson said. “So water was in the classroom wing all the way down on the west side of the building, and it was coming down the hall and had gone through the office.” Lakeville School Board Chair Roz Peterson said she believes this is the first

water main break in any Lakeville school. “I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Randy Anderson, Lakeville Schools business manager, who was charged with overseeing operations for the building’s cleanup. “I couldn’t believe it when I came in here.” At the first bang, Mohn had immediately shut off the boiler, and during the geyser ran to shut off the main to the building, but the water was coming from the main leading to the building’s private fire hydrant near the playground. Two city workers were flushing the hydrant as part of regular maintenance, said City Public Works Director Chris Petree, who called the workers “experienced” and said they were performing required routine maintenance and did nothing wrong. Most of the 540 Cherry View students were on their way to school when the water main break occurred and their buses were diverted to Crystal Lake Education Center where parents were instructed to pick them up. Students and teachers who were in the building were evacuated, and no injuries occurred. District officials closed the building for the remainder of the school year, and students were given an unexpected threeday vacation as district staff and moving crews worked to relocate student and teacher belongings to four different schools in the district, where students will complete the year. Kindergarten and first grade will attend Lake Marion Elementary; Grade 2, A+ and multicategorical students at Christina Huddleston; grades 3 and 4 at East-

view Elementary, and fifth grade at Kenwood Trail Middle School. Cherry View Principal Paul Helberg said he is determined to bring his school back together before the year ends, possibly a school picnic, and said activities will be rescheduled. Insurance adjustors from the city and school district were on site Monday during the week, and Petree said there will be an investigation into the cause and extent of the problem that will require excavation of areas around the lines “to see what broke and why it broke.” Snyder said water mains underground “are compromised.” “This has nothing to do with my employees operating a hydrant,” Petree said. “There’s more of a catastrophic failure that occurred in the infrastructure not having anything to do with the hydrant.” By Tuesday, the standing water had been removed, fans were running and lockers opened in hallways. Teachers and aides worked together to empty desks and pack boxes. Lakeville Director of Teaching and Learning Barb Knudsen was peeling well-taped name tags off of lockers, movers and cleanup crews busily buzzed throughout the building. Petree said the rupture did not affect neighboring properties’ water lines and no problems with other lines are anticipated. An update about the incident posted on the district’s website states that the building has been secured and residents are asked to “not visit the building for any reason.”

The unprecedented flooding at Cherry View Elementary proved an exercise in quick-thinking for all levels of Lakeville School District staff. Cherry View Elementary head custodian Jeff Mohn reacted to the water main break immediately, turning off the boiler and a water main into the building. As city crews searched for the private fire hydrant’s main valve to turn off the current, Mohn opened school building doors, warned others while rushing to reduce damage and usher water out of the building. Cherry View staff called Cherry View Principal Paul Helberg, who was in a meeting, warning him water was pouring into the hallways. He said he arrived 10 minutes after the flooding started. “By the time I got here it was pretty bad,” Helberg said, adding water greeted him when he walked in the main entrance. “I got on the phone with the district office and said I need some support over here right away,” Helberg said. “We need to put some contingency plans in place. It doesn’t look like we can hold school right now, so let’s get the ball rolling on where we’re going to evacuate kids to.” District Superintendent Lisa Snyder was at the building within a halfhour of his call. “Paul said a water main broke, and the school’s being flooded as we speak, and the kids are in route,” Snyder said. Her first move was to call the bus company to re-route buses to Crystal Lake Education Center. “I knew that would be our best option,” Snyder said. Parents were notified through the district’s emergency system to pick

up their children at Crystal Lake. Cherry View teachers who saw water streaming down the hall, reacted decisively, running to the media center and placing all lower-shelf library books on higher shelves, unplugging computer equipment and lifting cords out of water. “It’s just like everyone clicked it into gear and started doing what they could,” Snyder said. “That was pretty awesome.” Groups of teachers were stationed on both sides of the school informing and directing arriving parents and students. Snyder put district Business Manager Randy Anderson in charge of cleanup crews and dealing with insurance adjustors at Cherry View while she went to Crystal Lake Education Center to ensure there was a good system of supervision for students as they were coming in and being picked up by parents. “I was constantly on the phone with the bus garage,” Snyder said. Helberg directed his teachers to phone call all their students’s parents to make sure every student was safely home and being supervised. Anderson’s reports made it clear to Snyder by 10 a.m. that Cherry View would have to close for the remainder of the school year, and they needed to devise a plan for its 540 students to attend elsewhere. “We just started to plan scenarios,” Snyder said. Barb Knudsen, director of teaching and learning, called the 12:30 p.m. planning meeting a “think tank” discussion. Meeting members included Helberg and other district principals who reviewed space options and ultimately identified four schools that could help accommodate the displaced students.

Knudsen said her primary concern was that teachers would have all the equipment and materials they would need to complete the school year. Scenarios included putting 360 of the Cherry View students in classes at Hosanna Church or picking one district elementary to hold an early school and a late school. While Hosanna Church was a strong option, there were concerns they would have to move a lot more furniture and equipment into the building, which also does not have a commercial kitchen, and food would have to be prepared offsite and delivered, an unplanned expense. Ultimately, Cherry View classes were divided into four separate schools, a decision that was made and communicated to parents by about 3 p.m. Monday. Knudsen said the Cherry View students will end the year at the same time and on-schedule because teachers will likely reduce or cancel yearend events to finish class work. “In times like this, people rise to the occasion,” Knudsen said. Snyder dubbed it a “problem-solving day.” “There are really competent, wonderful people here that just pitch in,” she said. “And that made it really a very smooth experience for all of us.” Helberg, who said he makes a point to be in the cafeteria every day, described a feeling of sadness that Cherry View students were scattered in unfamiliar buildings. “I need to see them,” Helberg said. “I’m going to be in every building, talk to every classroom, and make sure they feel comfortable and secure where they are.” Laura Adelmann is at laura.adelmann@ecm-inc. com.

Opinion Expensive, outdated plan for Lebanon Hills will pave paradise by Maryann Passe SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Just a two minute walk into Lebanon Hills Regional Park leaves the city behind. It is a rare park where you can find isolation and a sense of wilderness without having to drive for hours. This 1,400-acre minimally developed woods and wetlands, right on the edge of the populated Twin Cities, is valuable green capital for Dakota County. By next year city life will encroach into this parkland. A 7.5 mile trail will be plowed and paved right through the middle of it. More paved trails, buildings, and parking lots are part of Dakota County Park’s proposed 10-year master plan for Lebanon Hills, a plan that will pave this paradise and turn it into just another urban park. This plan, focused on built infrastructure, is outdated and redundant. Dakota County needs a plan with vision for the kind of park we need into the future – one that maximizes Lebanon Hills’ green assets in creative and innovative ways. The proposed plan was initially de-

Guest Columnist veloped almost 15 years ago. Since then many things have changed: • There’s been a tremendous increase in park amenities and trails built throughout the immediate area and the entire Twin Cities. • There’s been a lot of green space lost in Dakota County’s urban center: Carriage Hills Golf Course, Diamond Path Horse Ranch, and soon Parkview Golf Course. • Over the past five years Lebanon Hills has become known as the Twin Cities’ destination hiking park. (Best Hiking Park in the Twin Cities - City Pages Best of 2013 issue (April 2013) and No. 1 Hiking Destination in the Twin Cities – WCCO’s CBS Minnesota website. This reputation is known and growing precisely because the park does not have any paved trails cutting through its prime hiking area. Cities around Lebanon Hills are now crisscrossed with paved trails. Only a

1.2 mile section is needed to connect an existing off-road trail to the same two endpoints of the proposed 7.5 mile trail through the park. Less than a half mile away is the High Line greenway trail. Building paved trails cost $185,000 per mile. Repaving costs, scheduled every 20 years, are $75,000 per mile. Our tax dollars are paying for all of these trails. By 2030 Dakota County is expected to have a population of half a million people. Healthy, beautiful, minimally developed green space will be an ever more valuable asset in our increasingly crowded county. Lebanon Hills Master Plan should look to the future by: • Prioritizing funding away from built infrastructure. These are costly, often redundant, and degrade. Put these same dollars into woods and wetland restoration. Environmental investments appreciate over time with minimal long-term maintenance costs. • Building the park’s programming (classes and events) to bring people into the park. Lebanon Hills has shamefully few programs and staff for a park of its size. Personal nature experiences are necessary for our own health and the

long term health and preservation of the park. If people know the park they will care for it. • Providing more than trails for disabled visitors. Visitors of all abilities deserve to experience the unique space and sense of wilderness of Lebanon Hills. The master plan should be innovative in this area. Lebanon Hills Master Plan should maximize both our tax dollars and the park’s unique green capital by visioning a park for the future. Now is the time to recognize the value of this rare asset. Adjacent neighborhoods, cities and Dakota County will reap economic and quality-of-life benefits if we do. What will be our legacy for Lebanon Hills Regional Park, paradise or pavement? Send your comments to planning@ co.dakota.mn.us. A final open house with the Dakota County Parks Department on the proposed plan will be held sometime in early June.

Paideia, Seven Hills students win awards in statewide writing contest by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Tarek Selim, Cy Alexander and Maya Morgan recently earned honors in a statewide Minnesota charter public school writing contest that attracted more than 2,200 entries. Youngsters were asked to describe their best day in school. Whether you’re a parent or an educator, I think you’ll learn a lot by asking this question at the end of the year. Cy and Tarek, first-graders at Paideia Academy in Apple Valley, wrote unusually long, detailed essays for their age. Cy tied for second in the division with an essay that began, “One day my friend and Max and I noticed that all the teachers had longer fang teeth than normal. ‘We have to do something! Our school is being run by vampires. ...’ “At recess we determined to save the school. Before the last bell, the whole school gathered. ... The principal spoke:

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Joe Nathan ‘You probably noticed something different about your teachers today. We are vampires.’ All the kids screamed. ... Then all of the teachers reached into their mouths and pulled out the whole top row of their teeth. April Fools!” Tarek wrote the best day of school “is the first day of any grade because you get a new teacher. ... You never know if your teacher might be a creature. ... Most of the time it’s a human being. If you have a class pet, it might be a ‘drabit’ which is a combination of a dragon and a gerbil.” Maya Morgan, a first-grader at Seven Hills Classical Academy in Bloomington

won a third place for a detailed description of a field trip she went on. (Editor’s note: Maya’s text is unchanged from how she originally wrote it.) She wrote, in part, “I liked the (field trip) because we made glowdow. I was nrves (nervous) when we went there. But I’m not nerves any more.” The top winner in the K-2 division, by a St. Paul second-grader, contained a surprise. Vincent Smith Jr. believes his best day in school was when “I got suspended for punching a classmate. I had not been behaving well in school. I have been rude. I have been talking and fighting instead of working.” He continued, “Getting suspended got me thinking. My dad is in prison, but he often calls me. He is good, but he did something bad. I figured I was the same. I am good, but I do bad things. Being bad is not cool. The day I got suspended was my best day because it helped me change. Now I stay away from trouble. I

have become a role model. It feels great to be a leader and not a follower.” Finally, Denisse Sanchez, a Minneapolis 10th-grader, was awarded first place among high school students. She wrote that formerly, “I hated school and had all F’s.” Then she and her English class read an essay by James Baldwin. It reminded her that “Mom and David never finished high school and now are living the life of poverty. ... I want something bigger and better in life. ... The only way to do that is to get an education.” TCF Foundation cosponsored the writing contest and provided cash awards for the best essays.

Good schools and colleges historically have made Minnesota a leader in business and job development. State Rep. Will Morgan, DFLBurnsville, understands that children, and their future employers, are not well-served by chopping school budgets or by stuffing more and more students into classrooms. Will has worked hard this legislative session to rebuild our state’s support for public schools and to repay what previous legislatures took from them to balance the books. With carbon dioxide polluting our air and heating our planet, Morgan has pushed for greater investment in nonpolluting energy sources, particularly solar power. He has supported a small increase in the regional sales tax to help pay for light rail and busway transit projects. Morgan knows that the Twin Cities cannot keep up with Dallas, Denver and Salt

never tired of the breathtaking natural views no matter what the season. Lebanon Hills is a place for me and so many others to go and “get lost” in the quiet beauty of nature. I have spent countless days walking each trail finding peace and a sense of contentment. On more than one occasion, I have fallen to my knees and wept over the sheer beauty of the natural setting. Even on days when the parking lot is full, it seems as though you can walk for miles without bumping into another soul. This must have been the original intention of the planners, and, for that, I am grateful. When I read a recent article about the proposed changes to Lebanon Hills I was saddened and heartbroken. I often embrace change; however, the change to pave over Lebanon Hills does not seem necessary. My husband and I are avid bike riders and we feel so fortunate to be able to have access to numerous bikes trails within minutes of our house in Eagan. We do not feel adding pavement/bike trails to Lebanon and disrupting the natural landscape is worth the investment.

The money used to add the unnatural pavement would be better spent by enhancing the bridges and the wooden picnic areas throughout the park. Adding pavement near Schulze Lake Beach seemed unnecessary, as the functional trail already existed. It obviously also took away from the splendor of the shoreline. I encourage the county to reconsider going forward with the plan to add pavement to the most beautiful park and do your part to keep Lebanon Hills a “Forever Wild” park. CHERI HAHN Eagan

Invest for accountability

two working parents, and single parents must work to survive as well. I believe the data about the return on investment in early education shows its accountability. Higher likelihood of success in life, reduced involvement with the criminal justice system, estimates of return ranging from double to 16 times the initial investment, make early education highly recommendable. Whether by scholarship or government programs like Head Start, children deserve the early education to kick-start their brilliance. Young people in my classrooms have helped convince me that kids perform better with early childhood education. Elected representatives should fund it progressively, using a higher tax incidence on upper-income earners. The warning that all tax increases hurt middle-income families doesn’t take into account the ability to target the incomes of those who can afford it.

To the editor: A recent editorial about the value of early childhood education was answered by a reader who had the opinion that it’s really up to parents to provide the early stimulation young minds need.

At the wheel for 13 years Dakota County Technical College President Ron Thomas to turn over the keys of this economic engine by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

There probably is no greater local economic engine than Dakota County Technical College. The man behind the wheel of that vehicle for the past 13 years will hand over the keys not long after this weekend’s spring graduation ceremony when emotions will be running higher than usual. College President Ron Thomas, who will know many of the graduates by name along with their stories of perseverance, will emphasize those handshakes and hugs a little more, knowing that his last day is approaching fast. “I’ve enjoyed every day of it,” Thomas said on Tuesday. “It was a difficult decision. The college is doing exceptionally well. I felt it was time to start to open the next chapter of my life.” The Lakeville resident since 1999 doesn’t know what exactly that next

Dakota County Technical College President Ron Thomas will retire from his job effective June 1 after this weekend’s spring graduation ceremony. (Photo submitted) chapter will entail, but he’s sure it will include more trips with wife Ann to see their two sons Trent and Kalen and their families in Arizona and Washington, respectively, along with visiting his daughter, Taylor, a recent Northwestern University graduate working with the Poynter Institute in Florida. His role as father and grandfather extended to his college family, too, as he consistently went out of his way to talk to students in formal and informal settings. “That’s the greatest part of the job. That’s when you really know what’s going on,” Thomas

said in reference to discovering ways the college can better meet the needs of its graduates. With a third of its students with some college experience or a college degree, he has learned much from the returning veteran, the out-of-work electrician and the stay-athome parent who doesn’t want to stay at home anymore. Through those conversations, he has helped the college focus on its mission to provide education for employment. Thomas sums up the college’s efforts in one word – opportunity. He said the partnerships that have been formed during the past 13 years have strengthened the college’s ties with Dakota County. “I knew we had more opportunities out there,” he said of when he came to DCTC after serving as president of Coffeyville Community College in Coffeyville, Kan. Aside from giving employment opportunities to the estimated 5,000 forcredit students and 6,500 in specialized training, the college has partnered with businesses and industries to identify areas in which the college can provide training to current or future employees. Those partnerships

Dakota County Technical College President Ron Thomas congratulates a graduate during a recent commencement. (Photo submitted) have been forged with such companies as Uponor, Thomson Reuters and General Motors. Whether through customized training, internships or school-to-work programs, the college is cooperating with more than 200 businesses, educational institutes and community groups. In an effort to meet the needs of its students, whose average age is 32, the college has created an estimated 130 new programs in the past 10 years. Thomas said that is reflective of the college’s philosophy – to respond to employment needs and

turn out highly-skilled workers. Among those new programs were the establishment of the IT Training Center in Eagan (1999) and Partners in Higher Education in Apple Valley (2003). One year later, the Entrepreneurship/Small Business program expanded at the Partners’ site and the two-year Nanoscience Technology program was launched. “When they go out into the job market, they are well prepared,” Thomas said. “When our students are ready to graduate, they are fine-tuned for the

workplace.” The college has been able to fulfill its role by having outstanding faculty and staff, according to Thomas. “This is a great college,” he said. “It is well respected through the state, region and the U.S.,” Thomas said. Thomas said he is leaving the college a better place than when he found it 13 years ago. That’s a legacy all those who have been touched by the college can appreciate.

Budget adjustments likely in District 196’s future Board considers fall levy referendum by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District will likely face budget adjustments in the next two years due to state funding shortfalls, officials say. The amount of adjustments will depend upon state funding over the next three school years, said Jeff Solomon, finance director for District 196. Funding for K-12 education has increased by 5 percent since 2008, which is less than inflation, according to the Minnesota Department of Education. State funding accounts for the largest portion of the District 196’s revenue. The Minnesota House is currently considering a proposal to increase K-12 funding by 2 percent in 2013-14 and in 2014-15, which would amount to $104 per pupil or $3.2 million in District 196. The Senate’s proposal is for a 1 percent increase in 2013-14 and no increase in 2014-15. The 2013-14 increase would amount to

a $52 per pupil or $1.6 million more in funding for District 196. For planning purposes, district officials expect the Legislature will pass a 1 percent increase for both years. While state funding has lagged behind, local levy referendums have grown in recent years throughout Minnesota to make up the difference, Solomon said. The district’s levy has risen from $535 per pupil in 2003 to $1,042 per pupil in 2013. On average, school levies have increased from $352 per average daily membership in 2003 to $1,035 per pupil in 2013, according to the Minnesota Department of Education. District 196 officials are considering asking voters to raise the levy referendum once again. The School Board approved on May 14 a proposal to consider asking voters this November to renew or approve a new levy of up to $1,666 per pupil, which is the state cap. The board made this

“My stress level has gone down to a zero! I feel much more confident!”

decision to ensure they have the option to pursue a levy referendum next fall. The Legislature is considering a proposal to freeze levy referendum, which would prevent districts who didn’t declare their intent prior to May 31 or June 30 from seeking a referendum election. The School Board can decide to ask for less than the state levy referendum cap but not more. Although the levy referendum has risen in District 196, the district’s portion of property taxes on the average valued home has dropped from $1,288 in 2006 to $1,066 in 2013 due to falling home prices and tax relief efforts. Even if voters approve an increased levy, the district will be forced to make budget adjustments of up to $6 million in 2014-15 and up to $18 million in 2015-16. These adjustments would be a combination of cuts, fee increases and wage freezes. Solomon noted that the state’s repayment of the K-12 funding shift imposed for several years

will do little to help the district’s financial picture. The district would face deeper adjustments of up to $23 million in 2014-15 and up to $19 million if voters deny a levy increase. Budget woes are not new to District 196, which has made $34 million in

adjustments since 2009. Although the district didn’t make new adjustments in 2012-13 and doesn’t plan to in 2013-14, it continues to impose its four-year pay freeze. “I don’t think we can expect to make no pay increases much longer,”

Board Member Rob Duchscher said. “It encourages employees to migrate out of the district.” Jessica Harper is at jessica. harper@ecm-inc.com or facebook.com/sunthisweek.

Mexican Hat Dance

School meal prices to rise in District 196 by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Parents and students in District 196 can expect school meal prices to rise. The Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District unanimously approved a proposal to increase daily lunch prices by 10 cents and breakfast by 5 cents at all district schools. The increase is being made to meet federal

requirements. The Federal Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, which was enacted in response to childhood obesity, requires public schools to meet new nutrition guidelines and aims to equalize the price of school meals across all districts. Although the act aims to ensure no child goes hungry, a number of families have stopped participating in the school meal program due to rising

prices, said Wendy Knight, district food and nutrition coordinator. District schools have served 1,400 fewer meals per day this school year since the price increase was imposed last year. Last year’s increase was also made to meet federal requirements. Jessica Harper is at jessica. harper@ecm-inc.com or facebook.com/sunthisweek.

‘It was a heroic effort’ Fans, former coach welcome new Vikings stadium design at special event by Howard Lestrud SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Former Minnesota Vikings football coach and Hall of Famer Bud Grant said he has always been an advocate of outdoor football but “not any more,” he said after he witnessed the unveiling Monday night of the multi-purpose Minnesota Vikings stadium design featuring a new glass look and a fixed roof. Grant, who led his Vikings to four Super Bowls, was one of 500 at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis who attended the public unveiling of the stadium design. Grant, in his coaching days, often led his Vikings in cold and frigid weather during key games. Still sporting crew-cut hair, Grant said: “I’m sold” when making his first comment about the $975 million stadium. Grant was one of the many dignitaries in attendance, but more than three-fourths of those in attendance were from the Vikings fan base. Vikings fan Christopher Johnson of Stillwater called the stadium design “beautiful” and “iconic.” The stadium “will transcend time and is something Minnesotans will be proud of for many years,” Johnson said. “I like the glass look and think the design reflects creativity that puts it ahead of most stadiums in the National Football League,” Johnson said. Gov. Mark Dayton, who helped spearhead action on the Vikings stadium through the Minnesota Legislature, thanked the many who worked to make the project possible. “It was a heroic effort,” he said. The stadium will feature a fixed roof that will allow light to come in and

give it a clear look, said Bryan Trubey, architect representative from HKS Sports & Entertainment. The stadium will have a seating capacity of 65,000 for football and 73,000 for special events. The stadium will include seven levels with three levels of suites. Trubey said the Vikings stadium is somewhat comparable to the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. “It is a living, breathing structure,” he said. The stadium will be the “window of the world,” Trubey said. Trubey elicited laughter he showed a slide of a snow-laden roof with the message being: “Rule Number One: Get the snow off the roof.” Trubey said the stadium will have up to 125 suites and 7,500 club seats, including suites and clubs at the field level, some of which will put fans closer to the sideline than in any other NFL stadium. The asymmetrical stadium will feature two of the largest video boards in the NFL located in both the east and west end zones and video ribbon boards throughout the interior of the seating bowl, Trubey said. Michele Kelm-Helgen, chair of the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority, said the multi-purpose stadium will have the capability to host more events than any other large stadium in the world, including NFL football and a Super Bowl, Major League Soccer, NCAA basketball and baseball, high school sporting events, motocross, concerts, conventions and marching band competitions. Kelm-Helgen explained that the stadium unveiling would also include a meeting of the Sports Authority board

Two Eagan residents displaced after apartment fire Two adult residents were displaced from their apartment Sunday after a fire damaged their Eagan home at Forest Ridge Apartments, 1271 Redwood Point, according to the Eagan Fire Department. The two residents were not home when Eagan fire crews from five stations responded to a 911 caller reporting flames were visible from unit No. 8 at 5:39 p.m. Arriving police officers reported that there was smoke and flames visible upon their arrival. The fire was contained to the unit and the deck of unit No. 6, which is directly

to approve the stadium design. That was done by a unanimous vote of the five-member authority board near the end of the night’s events. Kelm-Helgen said the stadium construction will create 7,500 new jobs. Hundreds of businesses will also be involved in design and construction, more than 24 expected to be local firms. Minorities and women businesses will also be recruited for the stadium construction, Kelm-Helgen said. Mortenson Construction of Minneapolis is the general contractor. The multi-purpose stadium will feature restaurants and retail establishments in its infrastructure. “It will become a national and international destination,” Kelm-Helgen said. Ground breaking is planned for the new stadium in October. The Vikings will play one more full season at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome and then the stadium comes down, most likely in January 2014. The Vikings will play two seasons at the University of Minnesota’s TCF Stadium in Minneapolis and then will occupy the new, stillunnamed stadium in July 2016. “It’s indeed spectacular,” Grant said at a media reception following the public unveiling. “Thanks for coming,” Vikings vice president Lester Bagley said to Grant. “I get paid for this,” Grant replied. He is under a life contract with the Vikings. Howard Lestrud can be reached at howard.lestrud@ecm-inc.com.

Eagan man gets jail time, probation in attempt to film teen nude by Jessica Harper SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

An Eagan man received 30 days in jail and two years of probation for attempting to film a 15-yearold girl taking a shower. Robert Zieper, 51, was sentenced on May 7 in Dakota County District Court. Zieper has the possibility of work release if he is deemed eligible. Upon his release, Zieper must follow the terms of his probation, which in-

clude abstaining from alcohol, submitting random drug tests and having no contact with anyone under age 18 or with the victim. Prosecutors say Zieper, who pleaded guilty in February, drilled a hole in a tissue box cover and placed his cell phone inside to record a 15-yearold relative undress before taking a shower. The girl noticed a light coming from the box and found the phone inside. She noticed the phone was

running a mobile application that allowed live video to stream to a personal computer. The following day, the girl reported the incident to her mother, who then called police. Zieper has no prior criminal history aside from traffic violations. Jessica Harper is at jessica. harper@ecm-inc.com or facebook.com/sunthisweek.

Man charged in spree of Eagan burglaries A Minneapolis man has been arrested and charged in connection to a string of Eagan burglaries. Stephen Daniel Gifford, 48, was charged by the Dakota County attorney on May 3 with three counts of third-degree burglary and first-degree criminal damage to property, all felonies, for allegedly breaking into several Eagan businesses. According to the criminal complaint, on the night of April 30, Gifford broke into three businesses on Rahncliff Road and stole about $150 from each. Gifford broke a glass door at each business to gain access, and broke the window of a fourth business but didn’t enter. Police were called at

about 11 p.m. and found Gifford walking near Cliff Road and Scott Trail. Officers attempted to talk to Gifford but he ignored their commands and was arrested. Officers noticed Gifford had several scratches on his hands and pieces of glass on his shirt and in his shoes. Officers found $97 in cash and a large amount of change in his pockets. The business owners told police it would cost about $550 to replace each broken glass door and window. In an interview with police, Gifford said he drank about seven glasses of beer at a local bar and then walked home. Gifford said he has trau-

matic brain injury from a motor vehicle accident and when he drinks, he “does stupid things.” He said he has burgled in the past but said he didn’t remember doing it that evening. Gifford also said he had been released from prison two week earlier and was staying at a hotel until he could find transitional housing for his traumatic brain injury. Gifford has a lengthy criminal history that spans to 1986 and includes nearly 20 burglary convictions. If convicted of the latest charges, Gifford could face up to five years in prison for each count. — Jessica Harper

Burnsville woman guilty of threats, extortion A federal court jury on May 8 found a 49-year-old Burnsville woman guilty of mailing threatening letters and letters meant to extort money. The jury convicted Deborah Mae Carlson of 12 counts of mailing threatening communications. Carlson was indicted Nov. 22, 2011. Evidence presented at trial proved that on eight separate occasions, Carlson sent threatening letters to an individual, according to a news release from the U.S. attorney’s office in Minnesota.

The letters were mailed in 2010 on March 1, March 11, April 5, April 13, April 20, April 27, May 3 and May 24. All contained threats to injure that individual. Carlson also sent a threatening letter to a second person. Moreover, she mailed letters to various businesses in the first individual’s name. Those letters, which demanded money, were sent to the store manager of the Eagan Target store on April 14, 2010; the store manager of the Valley Buick Pontiac GMC dealership in

Apple Valley on April 15, 2010; and the Scott Lake Veterinary Center in Prior Lake on April 17, 2010. Carlson faces up to 10 years in federal prison on each threat count and a total of 24 years on the three extortion counts. This case was investigated by the FBI, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension’s Forensic Science Laboratory, and the police departments of Lakeville, Apple Valley, Savage, Shakopee and Eagan.

Apple Valley siblings star in ‘Rock of Ages’ Popular musical’s Midwest tour brings Eastview grads to Minneapolis May 17-19 by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A career in theater is a dream Danny and Megan McHugh are chasing together. The Apple Valley siblings cut their teeth in the performing arts while students at Eastview High School, and both went on to earn musical theater degrees at the University of WisconsinStevens Point. Their stage talents now find them on tour with “Rock of Ages,” the Tony-nominated rock ‘n’ roll musical that will be playing May 17-19 at the Orpheum Theater in Minneapolis. “Touring with Danny is awesome – it’s comforting to have my brother with me on the road,” said Megan McHugh, who spoke with Sun Thisweek by phone Monday as the tour bus for the “Rock of Ages” cast was en route from Tennessee to Illinois. “It’s a really good time because we actually do like each other,” she said with a laugh.

involvement in the high school’s theater productions and the annual “Bravo!” music and dance shows – as well as the encouragement and training they received from performing arts instructors Judy Sagen and Scott Durocher – as helping to lay the groundwork for what they’re doing now. “It was just so great to go to a school where the arts were so accepted,” Megan McHugh said. “It allowed us to think about the prospect of doing this as a career.” The McHugh siblings joined the “Rock of Ages” tour in August of last year and will be performing with the show through the end of the summer. As for their plans after “Rock of Ages,” both Danny and Megan McHugh plan to move to New York City to pursue Danny and Megan McHugh joined the “Rock of Ages” tour in August of last year, and they’ll be performing with musical theater there. “Always together,” the show through the end of the summer.

Lakeville board acts to preserve fall levy question

Police chase on CR 42 ends in arrest

Survey indicates growing support among voters by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Springsted, there is growing support for a levy in the community. Springsted concluded that more than 50 percent of voters would support a tax increase of $168 on an average $230,000 home, and reported an increase in the number of people indicating they are “undecided,” about a levy, a factor that could indicate a tax increase could pass. Support for a levy of $238 on a $230,000-valued property was estimated between 41 percent to 50 percent, according to survey results. Springsted suggested the district consider a two-ballot proposal with one question at $168 or less and another question for the additional amount needed to fund programs, stating that approach would improve the chances of the first question passing as compared to asking for a $238 increase in one question. District officials hope to pass a levy of around $300 per pupil to avoid having to make another $5 million to $7 million in budget cuts to the 2014-15 budget.

After three failed levy attempts, millions in budget cuts, growing class sizes, fee increases and program reductions, the Lakeville School Board took action Monday to preserve the district’s fall levy plans. State Senate language included in the Minnesota Legislature’s Omnibus Tax Bill prohibits school districts from asking voters to approve operating referenda this fall for fiscal year 2015. The School Board took unanimously passed a resolution at its May 14 meeting declaring its intent to seek a levy referendum this fall, allowing the district to seek exemption from the provision. Language allowing districts that pass such a resolution is expected to be included in the provision if it remains in the bill. No levy amount was set, but Board Member Jim Skelly indicated he would like the levy amount to be determined before Pan-O-Prog, Lakeville’s annual summer celebration July 4-14. According to an April Laura Adelmann is at laura. community survey the adelmann@ecm-inc.com. district commissioned to

A Bloomington man is facing criminal charges following a police chase on County Road 42 in Apple Valley earlier this month. Police say 21-year-old Vlade N. Jones had a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.18, more than twice the legal limit, when officers took him into custody in the early hours of Saturday, May 4. The criminal complaint gives the following account: At about 2:10 a.m. May 4, an Apple Valley officer observed Jones’ SUV speeding and running a red light on westbound County Road 42. When the officer activated his emergency lights to stop

the vehicle, the SUV continued on at a high rate of speed. At one point, near Vlade the County N. Jones Road 42 and Cedar Avenue intersection, the SUV moved into the right lane, activated its right turn signal and appeared to be coming to a stop on the shoulder, but then abruptly moved back into the left lane and accelerated rapidly away. Eventually, after turning off of 42 onto southbound Pennock Avenue, the SUV drove into the parking area of an apart-

ment complex at a high rate of speed, “causing several pedestrians to scatter to avoid being hit,” the complaint said. The vehicle came to a stop, and Jones was taken into custody. Arresting officers noted that Jones smelled of alcohol and his speech was slurred, but field sobriety tests were not administered because “Jones was irate and swearing and yelling at officers,” according to the complaint. However, Jones provided police with a breath sample, which showed a bloodalcohol concentration of 0.18. As he was being transported to Apple Val-

ley police headquarters, Jones “continued to kick and bang his head against the window and other objects in the squad car,” the complaint said. Jones has been charged with fleeing police in a motor vehicle, a felony punishable by up to three years in prison and a $5,000 fine, along with two misdemeanor counts of DWI, which each carry a maximum penalty of 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. His next court appearance is scheduled for June 4 in Hastings. Jones remained in custody in the Dakota County Jail as of noon Monday. —Andrew Miller

Equine therapy program in jeopardy by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A nonprofit therapeutic ranch dedicated to providing free or low-cost, life-changing therapy for injured veterans and disabled children is in need of rescue. “We need funding badly,” said Kim Howard, owner of Majestic Hills Ranch near Lakeville. “This is a very expensive venture, and we’d like to keep our services going.” Howard founded the therapeutic riding program in 1997 after witnessing the transformation a therapeutic riding program had on her granddaughter, Jackie, who suffered numerous life-

“After riding for a few days, she was rollerblading and riding her bike,” Howard said. “She was riding her horse quite a bit every day, and then she started to walk.” Howard bought Majestic Hills with hopes of helping other children going through similar challenges and in 2010 expanded the ranch to provide free “Heroes on Horseback” programs for veterans suffering physical and/or emotional effects from their service. Just being at the rolling 106-acre ranch with chirping birds, fresh breezes and blooming flowers brings a mental calm and clarity for veterans, many who suffer post-traumatic stress disorder, Howard said.

They told us to “Live someplace else.” We have rights. We called HUD. We found a three-bedroom apartment we loved in a great neighborhood with good schools and a beautiful park. But the landlord told us to live someplace else that would be better for our family. We filed a complaint with HUD, and now we have a wonderful place to live.

RANCH, from 8A and closely monitor them as the horses are gently led and controlled throughout the experience. Riders gain confidence and strength, stretching muscles, while improving balance and coordination, helping riders to focus and develop social skills. “Their sense of self esteem improves,” Howard said. “Riding makes them feel involved.” The programs have helped children and young adults struggling with challenges, including autism, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, attention deficit disorders, cancer, vision

and hearing impairments, abuse survivors, Down syndrome and paraplegia. There is something transforming about riding and connecting to the horses, said Larry Johnson, Majestic Hills Ranch board member and Army veteran. Johnson said he has witnessed veteran shut-ins suffering with post-traumatic stress disorder open up and regain the sense of camaraderie with others, often lost while battling the effects of physical pain and emotional trauma. “Therapy at the hospital is work,” Johnson said. “They come out to the ranch and it becomes a joy.”

Army National Guard veteran Heather Gansen, 30, said she started as a children’s program volunteer at Majestic Hills Ranch, but then entered the Heroes on Horseback program herself for a debilitating form of arthritis that affects every joint in her body. “Riding helps with the arthritis,” Gansen said. “It’s a great way for me to get my body moving and not have an impact.” She described numerous transformations in children and veterans that she has witnessed from the therapies available at the ranch. “It’s amazing what goes on there,” Gansen said. “There’s nothing like – ei-

ther a veteran or a kid – seeing the look on their face, the pure joy they have, when they’re able to make a horse do what they want.” While running the programs are Howard’s passion, the expense is getting too much for her to handle. She estimated costs at about $350,000 annually. In addition to programming costs, expenses mount for repairs, maintenance and veterinary and farrier bills, while hay has recently tripled in price. A long-held dream to build an indoor arena so the ranch can operate yearround and raise more revenue has yet to be realized, and funds are needed for it.

Howard said she has for years contributed a significant amount, but can no longer afford the expense. “I have been funding the ranch personally for quite some time,” she said. “I just don’t have the funding to continue at that level. We will have to cut back on programs if we don’t get funding.” Howard said she is worried that if donors do not come forward, the ranch will close. “The next point is selling the ranch,” Howard said. “I haven’t wanted to do it. I’ve hung on like a pit bull, but I can’t do it any more.” Gansen said if the ranch were closed, it would be a

“serious disservice to our veterans. “Our veterans are not getting the help they need all the time,” Gansen said. “This is a program that can help individuals dealing with things like post-traumatic stress (disorder), suicidal thoughts and alcoholism. If it wasn’t there, when there is not a positive place for them, all that’s left is the negative.” For more information about donating or volunteer opportunities, go to www.majestichillsranch. org.

“Getting another medal wasn’t important to me,” Bohr said. “I thought it would be nice for my grandkids.” Bohr, who has 23 grandchildren, three great-grandchildren and a fourth on the way, received eight medals for his service in WWII and had already received all but the three. Upon learning about the matter, Kline, a retired Marine colonel, filed an inquiry with the National Personal Record Center requesting the medals be issued to Bohr. Bohr, a Wisconsin native, joined the U.S. Air Force in 1944 at age 19 and fought in Japan until the following year when the war ended. Upon his return to the states, Bohr pursued a career in advertising. In 1968, Bohr moved to Eagan and became president of the American Hotel and Lodging Association, where he worked until 1978. At age 87, Bohr owns and operates a small res-

Bohr received the President Unit Citation, the World War II Victory Medal, and an Honorable Service Pin from U.S. Rep. John Kline, R-Burnsville, for his role in the Aug. 8, 1945, daylight formation raid on Japan. “As a 25-year veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps whose father was a World War II veteran, it is a great honor to present these medals to Mr. Bohr,” Kline said in a news release. “The freedoms and liberties we and so many around the world cherish are owed to the blood and sacrifice of countless Americans like Mr. Bohr, a member of the ‘greatest generation’ who answered his nation’s call in pursuit of freedom and a safer world.” The U.S. Air Force forgot to give Bohr the medals upon his return from battle and over the years, he also forgot about them. While going through his military things, last year he remembered them.

Sports Bye gives Blaze a chance to catch its breath Softball team starts playoffs Friday by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Burnsville has cleared one hurdle before even playing its first game in the Section 3AAA softball tournament. By winning four of its final five regular-season games, the Blaze moved above .500 at 9-8 and grabbed the fourth seed in the section tournament. The top four seeds receive byes in the first round, which is single-elimination, and move on to the double-elimination portion of the tourney. Although avoiding the first round has its benefits, Blaze coach Aaron Vail said that’s not the biggest reason he was happy to see his team get a top-four seed. “The main reason is we have three days to practice,” Vail said. “Before this week, we’ve had one outdoor practice all season.” Once the weather allowed teams to get outside, the schedule was frantic. Team-building exercises that teams routinely do often were pushed aside. This week, the Blaze was trying to make up for lost time.

“We’ve been doing a lot of team-building stuff,” Vail said. “We’ll probably cap it off with a little Dilly Bar action at Dairy Queen.” This week was a good time for the Blaze to catch its breath because once it begins the playoffs, it faces a difficult road. The Blaze will play at 4:30 p.m. Friday at Dred Scott Fields in Bloomington against the winner of a first-round game between fifth-seeded Lakeville South and 12thseeded Bloomington Kennedy. If Lakeville South is the opponent, Burnsville would be facing the only South Suburban Conference team to beat No. 1-ranked Lakeville North this season. Burnsville beat Lakeville South twice during the regular season, but Vail said, “South is a really nice team with a couple of outstanding pitchers.” If Burnsville wins Friday, its next opponent could be Lakeville North, the section’s No. 1 seed. That game would be 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 22, at Dred Scott. North was 18-2 during the regular season and won its second consecutive South Suburban championship. The Blaze closed the regular season on an offensive rush, scoring 53

runs in its final five games. Burnsville beat Apple Valley 6-0 on Monday as Abby Schulberg and Alyssa Wroblewski homered in the seventh inning. Shannon Callanan pitched a four-hit shutout. Burnsville also beat Apple Valley 14-4 at the Mankato West Invitational on Saturday. The Blaze won two of three games in that tournament, with the other victory coming against Waconia 19-0 in five innings. Chanhassen defeated Burnsville 10-6 in the first round. Callanan pitched a fiveinning no-hitter against Waconia. Claire Boatman was 3-for-3 with two runs scored and three RBI. Schulberg, Megan Threlkeld and Kelly Grove each had three hits in the Blaze’s game against Apple Valley at the Mankato tourney. Schulberg had three RBI and Threlkeld and Grove each scored three runs. “We have a lot of depth, which allows us to play a couple of different ways,” Vail said. “We have some girls with power, but we also have the ability to play small ball if we need to. I like that kind of flexibility.” Callanan is likely to pitch most of the innings in the section playoffs, but seventh-grader Megan Os-

Eagan golfers reload in a hurry Wildcat boys seventh in state rankings by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Eagan finished fifth at the state Class AAA boys golf tournament last June, but some might have taken note of the five seniors in the lineup and scratched the Wildcats off the list of state contenders this season. Well, not so fast. Despite having to re-stock the varsity lineup, Eagan was seventh in the most recent state coaches association Class AAA poll. The Wildcats were third in the South Suburban Conference standings after finishing fourth Tuesday in the third of four conference tournaments. The final SSC tourney is on Eagan’s home course, Inver Wood in Inver Grove Heights. It’s worth noting that none of the three teams that finished ahead of the Wildcats in Tuesday’s SSC tourney – Lakeville North, Lakeville South and Burnsville – are in Section 3AAA, where Eagan is defending champion. That doesn’t make a return to the state tournament a lock – especially this spring, when merely getting on the course was a challenge because of persistent bad weather. But the Wildcats will go into the section tourney feeling good about their chances. “One of our strengths is that any of the six kids in the varsity lineup can shoot a score that will count” toward the team total, coach Brian Johnson said. “We played a tournament at Southern Hills last week and we had six

scores under 80.” Tuesday’s team score of 322 was Eagan’s highest of the year, in part because it was Brackett’s Crossing, one of the toughest courses the Wildcats have played this season. Prior to that, their highest score was 316. Senior Reed Becker is the only returnee from Eagan’s state tournament lineup last season. But seniors Ryan Baillif and Will Immen were letterwinners, as were sophomores Thomas Krueger and Phil Johnson. Krueger has been perhaps the Wildcats’ most consistent player, shooting 74 (1 over par) in a South Suburban tournament at Minnesota Valley Country Club, 75 at Legacy in Faribault and 76 at Creeksbend in another SSC event. Baillif was Eagan’s medalist with a 75 at Southern Hills, where Eagan finished second to Lakeville South in the team competition. Immen shot 75 and was medalist in a tournament in Rochester where Eagan won the team title. Prior to this week the Wildcats had been able to hold only two outdoor practices, Johnson said. “And one of those was when it was 34 degrees and sleeting,” the coach said. “The kids were actually disappointed that I pulled them off the course before they finished 18 holes.” The Wildcats will play in the Dakota County Invitational on Saturday at Emerald Greens.

Lightning softball player had extra-long wait for sections Hanegraaf sat out last season because of back trouble by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The softball playoffs haven’t started yet for Eastview High School, but Mckenzie Hanegraaf already knows she will enjoy them more than she did last year. That’s because she will step out of the dugout and onto the field, instead of off the field and into the dugout. Hanegraaf was a spectator as the Lightning finished third in the 2012 Section 3AAA tournament. Two back surgeries cost Hanegraaf her sophomore season. She played this season with no ill effects and helped the Lightning to a 10-4 record and the No. 2 seed in the section tournament. Eastview earned a first-round bye in the playoffs and advanced to the double-elimination portion of the tourney. The Lightning will play Apple Valley or Rosemount at 4:30 p.m. Friday at Dred Scott Fields in Bloomington. The section tournament runs through May 28 at Dred Scott. Hanegraaf, a junior captain, splits time between pitcher and first base and is one of three pitchers available to the

Lightning. Eastview coach Trevor Monroe said he wouldn’t hesitate to use any or all of them. Hanegraaf said she’s up for whatever Monroe decides. “I know it will be a lot more fun than sitting on the bench and keeping the (score)book,” she said. A stress fracture in a vertebra required the first back surgery. Pins were inserted to stabilize the area. Shortly before softball season was to start, Hanegraaf had more discomfort and a second procedure was done, this time to remove the pins. That washed out her 2012 season, but Hanegraaf said she has had few problems with her back since. Monroe said he has tried to keep his team from focusing too much on its record – but still, it’s pretty good. Eastview, ranked ninth in Class AAA, has a one-run loss to No. 1 Lakeville North and a one-run loss to No. 2 Maple Grove. Monday, the Lightning lost 4-2 to Prior Lake on a walk-off homer in the bottom of the seventh inning. The victory allowed the Lakers to jump over Eastview into second place in the South Suburban Conference. “One fly ball to left

field isn’t going to define our season,” Monroe said. “The wind was blowing pretty hard to left. If not for the wind we have a chance to catch it because we’ve got a good defensive team.” Although Eastview has a fairly young team, expectations were high based on last year’s playoff finish. Monroe said there’s a danger in being fixated on results. “We try not to look so much at wins and losses, but how we’re playing,” he said. “One thing we can control is our effort, and one thing we realize is it’s a team effort. It’s not just one player or one position.” The players also had to get used to an almostnew coaching staff. An interim staff coached the Lightning last year before Monroe was named permanent head coach last summer. Monroe, a teacher at Eastview High, is a former head baseball coach at Rosemount and a former softball assistant at Farmington. He also has coached youth fastpitch teams in the Minnesota Irish program. “Most of us knew who he was,” Hanegraaf said. “A bunch of us played See EASTVIEW, 14A

Lightning golfers show flashes of their ability Boys team waiting for consistency to arrive by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Golfers throughout Minnesota had to wait impatiently for spring to arrive. Now, Eastview boys coach Mark Wanous has to deal with another waiting game – waiting for all his players to show up with good scores in the same tournament. The Lightning has had four players break 80 in a tournament at one time or another this season, but going into Tuesday’s South Suburban Conference tourney at Brackett’s Crossing had not had more than two shoot in the 70s in the same event. “We thought a good goal would be to finish in the top half of the conference,” said Wanous, whose team finished fifth and sixth in the first two SSC tournaments. “We’ve only played four tournaments, where at this time last year we’d already played 12. But everybody’s in the same boat.” Plus, some of the rounds Eastview has played have been in miserable weather. Last weekend at the Detroit Lakes Northwest Classic, a 36hole event, teams endured wind and rain the first day and 35-40 mph winds the second day. Eastview finished seventh of 11 teams in that tournament. The Section 3AAA tournament is less than two weeks away, with the first round scheduled for May 28 at Goodrich Golf

GOLF, from 13A South Suburban schedule next week, they will begin to focus on the Section 3AAA tournament, which begins May 28 at Goodrich Golf Course.

Course. “We have to take advantage of all the practice time we can get at Valleywood,” Wanous said. “There isn’t much room for off-days now.” The Lightning has “some young kids, and some veterans,” the coach said. “It’s a good mix. And it’s a group with a lot of ability.” Senior Kirby McPhee came close to reaching last year’s state tournament, losing in a playoff for a qualifying spot from Section 3. He has been one of the Lightning’s top players this year with a 76 at Creeksbend in the SSC season opener and a 79 at Perham Lakeside in the first round of the Detroit Lakes tourney. Alex Reller, also a senior, shot a career-best 71 (1 under par) last week at Bunker Hills in the Coon Rapids Invitational. Reller finished third individually, and Eastview shot a season-low 311 to finish sixth of 22 teams. Sophomore Adam Callies shot 77 at Bunker Hills. Jayson Gouette, another sophomore, shot 75 – seven strokes below his previous seasonbest – at Perham Lakeside. Senior Brady Kelley and sophomore Matt Kratz also are playing regularly on varsity, and senior Alex King has seen time in the varsity lineup. Wanous said one of the disadvantages of the shorter season is it gives junior varsity players less time to make a run at varsity spots. The Light-

ning’s top seven is likely to remain the top seven for the rest of the season, even though players such as freshman Jake Reller (Alex’s younger brother) have played well for the JV team. Eastview’s players and coaches traveled to Arizona over spring break in late March, which seems like a long time ago considering the Minnesota weather kept them indoors for several weeks after they returned. Now, it’s a question of how to make best use of limited practice time. Although Wanous said, “I’m sure the kids would like to be on the course or the driving range,” he has directed them to the practice green for short game work. Particularly in this shortened season, the teams with the sharpest short games are the ones most likely to advance to the state tournament. And that’s a goal the Lightning, which last qualified for state in 2011, still considers realistic. Eastview will compete in the Dakota County Invitational on Saturday at Emerald Greens. The Lightning plays in the final South Suburban Conference tournament at Inverwood in Inver Grove Heights on Tuesday before going to Brainerd for a two-day event.

The second day of the tourney is May 31 at Bunker Hills in Coon Rapids. Eagan was the only Section 3AAA team in the state rankings, but Johnson said Hastings, East Ridge and Wood-

bury are among the other top contenders for the section title.

Notebook: Rosemount aims for True Team track championship by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The weather has finally heated up, and so too has the high school track and field season. Several South Suburban Conference schools will send teams to the state Class AAA True Team finals Friday at Stillwater High School. All of the SSC schools are gearing up for the conference championships Tuesday and Wednesday at Eagan High School. Rosemount will try for a fifth consecutive top-three finish at the Class AAA True Team finals. Rosemount last won the boys True Team championship in 2011. The Irish won their eighth section True Team title in nine years last week in Apple Valley. One event to watch for the Irish boys is the 4x100meter relay, where Preston Webb, Tray Ashby-Phan, SOFTBALL, from 13A 11th seed in the section tournament and played seventh-seeded Rosemount in a first-round game Wednesday afternoon. The winner plays EASTVIEW, from 13A against teams that he coached (in the summer). “It was kind of cool to start over with a new staff. Our old coaches were phenomenal, but starting fresh is fun, too.” Hanegraaf is hitting about .500 and belted a walk-off homer in the 11th inning of Eastview’s 2-1 victory over Bloomington Jefferson. That might have been the Lightning’s biggest victory of the regular season. Center fielder Courtney Wissbaum was batting above .400, while Melissa Barry moved from the outfield to take over at shortstop. Both are sophomores, as are starting third baseman Julia Luciano and catcher Kara Sjos-

Grant Jackson and Tegan Overbey ran a schoolrecord 42.9 seconds in the section meet. It’s also the fastest reported time in that event in Minnesota this season. The South Suburban meet features the state record holder in the pole vault – Lakeville South’s Lee Bares, who cleared 15-9 in the Section 1AAA True Team meet. Other top athletes include Eagan senior distance runner Danielle Anderson, Eastview jumper Ryan Lockard, Eagan sprinters Jake Gourley, Maddie Gourley and Emerald Egwim, Rosemount hurdler Rachel Schow and Lakeville South hurdler Shania Burns. Competition at the South Suburban championships begins at 3:30 p.m. both days.

and Eastview high schools are among the finalists for the St. Paul Downtown Lions Club awards, given annually to top amateur athletes. Eagan’s Danielle Anderson, a University of Minnesota recruit, has won multiple state medals in track and cross country. She led Eagan to second in the state Class AA cross country meet last fall. She also was second in the 3,200 meters in the 2012 Class AA girls track and field meet. Eastview senior Ryan McNamara helped the Lightning win the state boys lacrosse championship last year. He also was a member of the Eastview team that qualified for the 2013 state Class AA boys hockey tourney. He will play lacrosse at Marquette University. This year’s awards will be presented Tuesday, May 21, at the Prom Center in Oakdale.

trom. Ninth-graders Jamie Reynolds (designated player) and Hailey Monroe (left field). Kerrigan Hoshaw, another sophomore, has seen a lot of time in the pitching circle and likely will be the starter in the playoff opener. Catcher Emily Larson, outfielder/pitcher Marissa Leners, and infielders Rachel Young and Christie Seaberg are the seniors on the roster. With such a wide range of ages on the roster, Hanegraaf said the Lightning’s biggest improvement might be off the field, rather than on. “Our team chemistry is much better,” she said. “We’ve had some battles in the past, but we’ve gotten stuff together off the

field. We all talk, we’re together as a team and there are no cliques.” That means Eastview can place its undivided attention on playoff opponents. Somewhere along the way, the Lightning could face No. 1-seeded Lakeville North. Last week North edged Eastview 4-3 in a South Suburban game. “We had the bases loaded with two outs but couldn’t get them in. We played very well against them,” said Hanegraaf, sounding line someone who’s aching for another chance.

SUN THISWEEK - Burnsville - Eagan May 17, 2013 15A

MARRIAGE, from 1A fusing to solemnize a marriage for any reason. FitzSimmonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; provision was not enough for other area Republicans in the House or Senate to vote yes. Sen. Dan Hall, a volunteer police and fire department chaplain in Burnsville, a former volunteer chaplain at the Capitol and the founder and former CEO of the nonprofit Midwest Chaplains, said the legislation could spark civil disobedience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fool yourself today,â&#x20AC;? Hall said of thinking the vote ended the samesex marriage debate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This document will split our schools, our churches, our towns, our counties, our state,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will hurt businesses and confuse children, more than any single issue has ever done since the Civil War.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;People ask me, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sen. Hall, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you want to be on the right side of history?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The truth is, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m more concerned about being on the right side of eternity,â&#x20AC;? Hall said. Rep. Pam Myhra, RBurnsville, said children have a right to have a mother and father. Another Republican representative who has figured prominently in the gay-marriage debate has been Mary Liz Holberg of Lakeville. For a time, Holberg carried the amendment legislation while then-Sen. Michele Bachmann carried it in the Senate. Anti-amendment advocates at rallies once wore T-shirts with photos of Holberg and Bachmann on the front. Asked whether conservatives were on the wrong side of history in regard to same-sex marriage, Holberg questioned it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the wrong side. I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the side of the majority of Minnesotans,â&#x20AC;? she said prior to last Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vote. Holberg carried the amendment the first time because she chaired the House Civil Law Committee and was concerned about perceived judicial activism. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But others wanted to take up the banner, and that was fine with me,â&#x20AC;? Holberg said. The marriage debate has been emotional. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were threats on my familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed to be outside the Capitol alone,â&#x20AC;? Holberg said. Republicans were spit on in the Capitol corridors after passing the amendment two years ago, she said. But she would temper her comments, Holberg said, by adding she has had conversations with Sen. Scott Dibble, DFLMinneapolis, Senate marriage legislation bill author. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And many of those bad things he suffered as well. So I think the bad behavior occurs on both sides on the issue,â&#x20AC;? Holberg said. Holberg has found the marriage debate frustrating. She recalled meeting with a woman who told her she would change her mind about same-sex mar-

riage if she attended a corn lies arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all the same. feed that the sister put on. For instance, her chilâ&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty sad, because dren are adopted. thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not what this about. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(But) when it comes to Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about people be- moms, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get more ing nice,â&#x20AC;? Holberg said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about a definition of marriage and what that means.â&#x20AC;? When asked if she thought the state would legalize same-sex marriage prior to the vote, Holberg said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think Minnesota is there yet. I really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.â&#x20AC;?

real than me,â&#x20AC;? she said. Currently Massachusetts; Connecticut;, Iowa; Vermont; New Hampshire; Washington, D.C.;

New York; Maine; Washington; Maryland; Rhode Island; and Delaware have legalized same-sex marriage.

Issue discussed Garofalo said he spoke to some local Republicans about his intentions prior to last Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vote. He believes he has their support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The response from conservatives has been overwhelmingly positive,â&#x20AC;? Garofalo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Religious freedom is a very important issue in my district. A critical issue. And people understand my motivations and are very supportive of it,â&#x20AC;? he said. Civil unions would have been a better choice than the legislation passed by the House, Garofalo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(But) I feel like given the position power I have (as a House minority member), I thought it was the best I could do,â&#x20AC;? Garofalo said. One Republican lawmaker who has taken tough votes and been sanctioned for them by his caucus is Rep. Jim Abeler, R-Anoka. He believes Garofalo had the right to make up his own mind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My opinion is people have the right to vote their conscience on these social, moral issues,â&#x20AC;? Abeler said. Abeler doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t foresee Garofalo running afoul of the House Republican Caucus, or, for that matter, the Republican Party. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be just their locals,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they represented their locals well, nothing will happen.â&#x20AC;? Carleton College Political Science Professor Steven Schier said the marriage vote could dog Garofalo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Regardless of broader district opinion, active Republicans in their districts are likely to have strongly opposed gay marriage and will not forget this vote at the endorsement conventions,â&#x20AC;? he said. A Democrat who did not flinch pushing the green â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? button was first-year Rep. Laurie Halverson, DFL-Eagan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to vote for equity,â&#x20AC;? Halverson said prior to last Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Personally, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that I have known my truth about for a very, very long time,â&#x20AC;? she said. Halverson came to this truth, in part, by observing the love in same-sex families, she said. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hopeful the marriage vote wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t become campaign fodder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard from constituents falls very much in favor of (marriage) equity,â&#x20AC;? she said. The decision for Halverson may have been made easier by last fallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amendment vote. In House District 51B, Halversonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s district, about 38 percent, voted â&#x20AC;&#x153;yes.â&#x20AC;? Halverson said during the floor debate that fami-

16A May 17, 2013 SUN THISWEEK - Burnsville - Eagan

STREETS, from 1A â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re saying is letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not overreact to our street condition,â&#x20AC;? Albrecht said. For now, Burnsville is in a street-reconstruction â&#x20AC;&#x153;bubble.â&#x20AC;? The number of miles of streets needing rebuilding is growing faster than the city is rebuilding streets. Streets needing rebuilding, not just an overlay, jumped from 43 miles in 2009 to 63 in 2012, according to the city. Actual miles rebuilt rose from 3.7 in 2009 to

5.6 in 2012. A street needing reconstruction, as confirmed by the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pavement rating system, could wait up to 12 years at that pace. Street funding will get a boost of nearly $2 million in 2015, Albrecht said. The council plans to dedicate new tax revenue from a decertified tax-increment financing district to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infrastructure trust fund. And the city will move from red to black in its Municipal State-Aid Street account after shelling out large amounts for projects such as Burnsville

Parkway reconstruction. Albrecht said the city is spending $4.6 million this year on pavement, which doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t include the sewer and water main replacement that often accompanies street reconstruction.

Another problem The city has a dual headache with a number of streets built in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The bituminous mix used on those streets has proved substandard, leaving them crumbling and beyond repair â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;as bad as any in town,â&#x20AC;? Albrecht

said. The council endorsed a proposal to create a â&#x20AC;&#x153;secondaryâ&#x20AC;? priority list of streets that need to be rebuilt but arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ready for underground utility replacement. The city would tackle those projects with savings, when available, from the previous yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s street reconstruction bids. Burnsville has 13 areas of the substandard streets, two or three of which could be rebuilt next year with savings from this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s low bids. The three worst areas,

which council members said they want rebuilt, are two neighborhoods west of County Road 11 in east-central Burnsville and the Wildwood Road area in southwest Burnsville. The faulty bituminous was used at the time by the Minnesota Department of Transportation, which sets standards followed by cities but which also experiments with different materials, officials said.

Overall conditions

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The average city street in Burnsville is just better than needing to be resurfaced,â&#x20AC;? Peterson said. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no surprise Burnsville has lower numbers than its neighbors. The city already had 58 percent of its current population by 1980, compared with 26 percent in Lakeville, 31 percent in Eagan and 44 percent in Apple Valley. With fewer streets being added compared with Burnsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growth years, the number of street miles needing rehabilitation or preventive maintenance has actually fallen in recent years, according to the city. Between patching and resurfacing, the city aims to get more than 40 years of life from its streets, Albrecht said.

Burnsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 60 miles of heavier-volume collector street score a 67 PCI reading, far better than the 52 reading for its 165 miles of local streets. The city average is 57. Under Burnsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rating process, streets with ratings of 55 down to 35 need John Gessner can be reached rehabilitation in the form at 952-846-2031 or email of new pavement. john.gessner@ecm-inc.com. HOTEL, from 1A

LHR Hospitality Management, one of two firms competing earlier this year for the Performing Arts Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s management contract. The council chose to stick with arts center manager VenuWorks rather than switch to LHR, which specializes in hotel management. LHR manages a number of hotels owned by Akota, which has specialized in turning around distressed hotels but has also built hotels in North Dakota since the oil boom, Nienhaus said. City officials didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disclose it was LHR working the hotel deal, even as LHR was before the city seeking the arts center management contract. There are potential synergies between the hotel and the arts center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would assume that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d still pursue those synergies,â&#x20AC;? such as business meetings at the arts center combined with stays at the hotel, Nienhaus said. The PAC hosts about a dozen dance competitions a year, adding more potential business for the hotel, he said. Nienhaus said he expects construction on the hotel to begin next spring or summer.

an August 2012 city-commissioned appraisal of $865,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The price that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re selling it for is virtually equal to the price we bought it for when we bought it from Triple A,â&#x20AC;? Nienhaus said. The property has had a â&#x20AC;&#x153;For Saleâ&#x20AC;? sign for about four years. The city issued a request for proposals from would-be buyers in 2011 but got no responses. The city issued the RFP at that time because some eligible costs it could help subsidize for developers in the Heart of the City taxincrement financing district were expiring at the end of the year, Nienhaus said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We thought weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d better go out and take one more shot,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding that officials didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect much response in the post-recession economy. Other suitors for the property have come and gone, including fast-food restaurants and gas stations â&#x20AC;&#x201C; none of which met the 25-foot minimum building height required in the Heart of the City, Nienhaus said. The city is providing no tax-increment financing or other subsidy for the hotel, he said. Akota Hospitality has been represented in nego- John Gessner can be reached tiations with the city by at (952) 846-2031 or email Cary, of St. Paul-based john.gessner@ecm-inc.com. SCHOOL, from 1A

started in 1989 in Edina, to close its Maplewood and Edina campuses after the 2009-10 school year. McGlynn said closing of the Burnsville and Coon Rapids campuses will leave only two sober high schools in the Twin Cities: Insight Recovery School, run by the White Bear Lake public schools, and P.E.A.S.E. Academy, a charter school in Minneapolisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Dinkytown area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a crisis to a small number of people,â&#x20AC;? McGlynn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think there used to be as many as 22 years ago. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been dropping over the last 10 years, more pronounced, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say, in the last five.â&#x20AC;? Treatment-based referrals are the source of most of Sobriety Highâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s students, McGlynn said. Hinze, who attended Farmingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dodge Middle School, said he was ordered into treatment by his parents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They just got sick and tired of me stealing from them and doing all this stuff,â&#x20AC;? said Hinze, who came to Alliance Academy his freshman year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can pretty much talk to anybody here: any teachers, any students,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like a mainstream school. The teachers here actually have an opportunity to get to know you, and they care about you.â&#x20AC;? Afraid of falling back into his old ways, Hinze plans to attend P.E.A.S.E. Academy next year instead of Farmington High School. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about a 40-minute bus ride from his stop in Apple Valley, he said.

school next year, said Paul McGlynn, Sobriety Highâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive director and a former teacher at the Coon Rapids site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The issues are financial, really,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had lower enrollment and less cash flow due to that lower enrollment. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve struggled with maintaining our staffing.â&#x20AC;? Holding school next year would require â&#x20AC;&#x153;more staff cuts, and we really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any staff left to cut,â&#x20AC;? McGlynn said. Sobriety High is losing a donor who gave $200,000 to $300,000 a year for 15 years. The donor is frustrated that the school isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t more self-sustaining, McGlynn said. As a charter school, Sobriety High also receives state per-pupil funding. But the funding is based on a cumulative â&#x20AC;&#x153;daily membershipâ&#x20AC;? count, and Sobriety Highâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enrollment fluctuates greatly during a school year. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daily membership is 57 between the two campuses, but 142 students have come through the doors, McGlynn said. The campuses have to staff up for the larger numbers, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Intake is the most staff-intensive part of our time,â&#x20AC;? he said. Most of the transience in student population is a function of some students returning to substance abuse, according to McGlynn. The Burnsville campus, located in rented office space at 12156 Nicollet Ave., has 23 students but has had as many as 45 in John Gessner can be reached past years.

‘What Did You Say?’ author speaks up Monique Hammond at Robert Trail Library on May 21 by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Hearing loss was a gamechanger for Monique Hammond. Monique Unexpectedly, Hammond in a matter of just four hours in September 2005, Hammond went totally deaf in one ear. “I was teaching a class and at one point I thought, ‘Gee, I can’t hear so well,’ ” recounted the Minneapolis resident and registered pharmacist. “By 7 p.m. I was totally deaf in my left ear.” As a result of her hearing loss – which she says was brought on by a combination of loud music at a church fundraiser she attended the previous day, as well as a virus – Hammond experienced buzzing, vertigo and loss of balance. Simple tasks in her daily routine became impossible challenges. “I call it a life-changer and a career-ender – within a matter of four hours, my life changed,” she said. “I haven’t worked as a pharmacist since then.” Hammond will be sharing her story – and her research into hearing loss – at Rosemount’s Robert Trail Library at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 21, as part of the “Meet the Author” series spon-

sored by the Rosemount Area Arts Council and the library. Her book, “What Did You Say? An Unexpected Journey Into the World of Hearing Loss,” chronicles her hearing-loss ordeal and the research she undertook to understand it. Her hearingloss work earned her a governor’s appointment to the Commission for Deaf, Deafblind and Hard-of-Hearing Minnesotans, a state board on which she served from 2006 to 2012. Hammond’s talk at the Robert Trail Library will be geared to the general public, she said. “I never go anywhere without talking about noise-induced hearing loss and its prevention,” she said. “Loud-noise exposure – noisy toys, the loud surroundsound systems, the woofers in the cars – it’s 100 percent preventable and it’s a plague going through

Thisweekend Flute, harp and plenty of coffee Bell’ Alma Duo concert May 19 in Lakeville by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Take the ethereal sounds of flute and harp, add a big cup of coffee, and you’ve got the final performance in this year’s Coffee Concert series at the Lakeville Area Arts Center. The Bell’ Alma Duo – featuring Kathy Kienzle and Michele Frisch – are set to take the arts center stage at 2 p.m. Sunday, May 19. The duo is a partnership between two accomplished Twin Cities musicians – Frisch is principal flute with the Minnesota

The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) for qualified applicants is fixed at 1.99% for the first six months following closing, with a variable APR thereafter. APR is determined by adding a margin of +0.75% to the Prime Rate (the index). The index is as of May 7, 2013. Prime Rate used is that published in the Midwest Edition of the Wall Street Journal on the second Tuesday of the month preceding the month the billing cycle begins. Minimum interest rate is the introductory rate, APR is as low as 4.00% based on creditworthiness, LTV, occupancy, checking relationship, and collateral state. To qualify for stated rate, a checking relationship with Associated Bank (excludes Student Advantage Checking) is required.
