Cleanup is underway in southwestern Eagan following a gasoline leak that spilled 300-500 barrels of gasoline earlier this week.

One of the quickest ways to become the villain in the public eye is to swipe packages off people’s doorsteps. When the Eagan Police Department posted a video of an alleged package theft last week asking for help identifying the suspect, comments ranged from “lock them up� to “what an idiot.� It was shared hundreds of times with hopes of catching the thief. The person is suspected of stealing packages in the area of Diffley Road and Highway 13. As of Monday, charges were not filed in the case. “We’re still looking to the public for help identifying the suspect,� said Aaron Machtemes, Eagan

anticipating their packages especially during the holiday season. Typically, there are about eight to 10 reported package thefts in Eagan per year, and the department has been able to charge one or two suspects yearly. But, that doesn’t mean there are several others going free. Many reports are in reference to what police believe is the same thief. “Typically it’s one person committing several package thefts in a neighborhood,� Machtemes said. Once caught, the suspects are often charged with theft. Depending on the amount stolen, it could be a felony. “For four iPhones, that’s a felony,� Machtemes said. “But if it’s a package of diapers, it’s a misdemeanor.� The Eagan Police DeSee PACKAGES, 12A

Workers at ProAct Inc. recycle unwanted holiday lights, which are collected through the end of January. ProAct is an organization that works to enhance the quality of life for people with disabilities, and operates in several counties in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Put those old Christmas lights to good use Holiday light recycling at 25 drop-off locations within Dakota County by Jody Peters SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

ProAct as tools … as they work toward community-based employment opportunities,” Cavalier said. While the ProAct center in Eagan accepts materials year-round, the majority of the lights come during the collection period from mid-November through January. Once all the material is collected, individuals remove bulbs from strands before the strands get recycled. “Some of the bulbs get repurposed into artful projects, different things that we’ve actually been able to kind of repurpose and market in different ways, and some of them are just waste. Then we go ahead and we kind of Gaylord or mass box all the strands,” Cavalier said. From there, the material goes to a recycler in Minneapolis and is typically melted down onsite. Inside the bulb, insulation around the copper wire is melted off, then the copper is captured and turned into something else. Each year, Cavalier said she has seen more participation in the program, and this year, the process of removing bulbs kept workers busy for almost 10 months. “Last year we brought in over five tons of material within our little collection period and we just finished kind of working through or processing that … in September. … And again, it’s a very small part of the work opportunities that we have, so that’s kind of why it lasts that long. It’s not something that’s out all the time,” Cavalier said. Cavalier hopes that with increased involvement comes increased awareness of ProAct’s various services. “It’s huge, where we get out to and where we touch. … People need to be more aware of who ProAct is, who we serve and support and what those individuals have to offer their communities and that there is more to somebody with a disability than people realize,” Cavalier said. More information about ProAct’s services can be found at www.proactinc.org. Drop-off locations include Farmington City Hall, Rambling River Center and both Farmington Liquors locations; a complete list can be found at www.proactinc.org/holiday-lights. html.

Wondering what to do with that tangled mess of holiday lights? Eagan-based ProAct, an organization that helps serve people with disabilities in Minnesota and parts of Wisconsin, encourages people to take their old or unwanted lights to one of many drop-off locations. Participating drop-off zones accept holiday lights, electric cords, telephone cords and appliance cords through the first week of February. ProAct’s production coordinator Jennifer Cavalier said the light recycling program is in its fourth year. ProAct used to partner with the Recycling Association of Minnesota until that association stopped offering light recycling last year. ProAct decided to continue offering light recycling services and is currently in its second season of doing so independently. “When we initially partnered with the Recycling Association of Minnesota, we had partnered on … a couple different programs. Then this was another program that they had, and we really thought this would be a good fit for some of our folks at ProAct,” Cavalier said. As a whole, ProAct offers many services for people with disabilities, including employment training services, life skills training, transportation and more. For the light recycling program, Cavalier said it’s a good fit because it offers another work opportunity for individuals who need it. “The motivation of it is to provide another work alternative for individuals in our work program. Maybe if one of our contracts or other jobs isn’t necessarily meeting their skill set, this might be one of those things that works for them,” Cavalier said. Not only is the program beneficial for the environment, but it also gives people with disabilities meaningful work — which is ProAct’s main goal. “Our base is to serve adults with disabilities and give them life-enhancing opportunities that are meaningful, really person-centered and life-enhancing — building employment and social skills. … So we use any work opportu- Contact Jody Peters at jody.peters@ nities that we have within our facility at ecm-inc.com.

After the Dakota County Board approved several employment contracts at the end of 2017, the new year started with another round of threeyear agreements. Six different employee groups had their pay scales set for Jan. 1, 2018, to Dec. 31, 2020, as part of the board’s consent agenda Jan. 2. The increases in the agreements are in large part the same for the 150 Library Department employees, 58 nurses in the Public Health and Social Services departments, 56 licensed sheriff’s deputies, 28 transportation maintenance employees and 17

licensed supervisors in the Sheriff’s Department. For each of the agreements: • The salary ranges in the 2018 County Pay Equity Salary Range Structure increased 2 percent. • General increases for each of the years 2018-20 are 2.5 percent • There are amounts set in the merit matrix allowing 1-4 percent increases based on performance. The Jan. 1, 2018, to Dec. 31, 2020, agreement with the 35 assistant county attorneys’ bargaining unit has different terms. While the salary ranges are still increasing based on the Pay Equity structure, the 2019 and 2020 range structure will increase 2 percent.

In 2018-2020 there will be no general increase and the non-union merit matrix will be utilized. The 2018-2020 Merit Matrix is consistent with the 2018 County non-union Merit Matrix. The six different employee groups represent 344 employees. Three contracts for different county employee groups set forth similar compensation increases for 2018-2020 when they were approved in December. Those contracts were for 802 employees in the county, which has more than 1,850 workers. Contact Tad Johnson at tad. johnson@ecm-inc.com or at twitter.com/editorTJ.

Speed limit hours on Crystal Lake won’t change Residents prefer quiet early mornings by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Backed by public preference for quiet mornings on the water, Burnsville City Council members agreed Tuesday not to change the speed rules for Crystal Lake. Last year a lake resident asked the city to consider loosening rules limiting watercraft speeds to 15 mph from sunset to 9 a.m. The speed limit is 40 mph from 9 a.m. to sunset. In response, the city held an open house for lakeshore homeowners and posted an online sur-

vey on raising the earlymorning speed limit to up to 40 mph. Twenty of 25 people at the open house favored keeping the current hours, said Daryl Jacobson, Burnsville’s natural resources manager. Many said they use the mornings for paddleboarding, fishing or canoeing before boats create wakes, he said. A total of 196 people responded to an online survey question on whether to change the hours. A total of 129, or 66 percent, wanted no change. Nearly all the emails the

city received on the matter called for no change. The “people have spoken,” Council Member Dan Kealey said at Tuesday’s council work session. A former Crystal Lake homeowner, Kealey said he, too, preferred quiet mornings on the lake. Morning speed-limit violators are fishermen who enter on the west side of the lake and speed across to stake out fishing spots, he said.

Opinion Increase legal age to buy tobacco products to 21 Concern is growing over Minnesota youth using nicotine-bearing tobacco products that damage their health and brain development. A campaign is underway by Minnesotans for a Smoke-Free Generation to encourage the Minnesota Legislature to increase the tobacco-purchasing age to 21 years. A bill introduced in the last legislative session did not get a hearing. The coalition has secured sponsors in the Senate and hopes to secure House backers in the 2018 session. To date, city councils in Edina, Bloomington, St. Louis Park and Plymouth have passed laws changing the age of purchasing tobacco products, including fruit-flavored products, to 21. While this is effective in each respective community, 18-year olds still can buy tobacco products in neighboring cities that don’t have a 21-year age limit. The goal, therefore, is to enact a state law changing the legal age to 21 for purchasing tobacco products. We salute the efforts by the four metro cities but believe now is the time to expand the effort to the state level. We encourage the Legislature to hold hearings

ECM Editorial on this important health issue and pass a law changing the age from 18 to 21 years. California, Hawaii, New Jersey, Maine and Oregon have already done so. Health data on use of tobacco products is alarming. Dr. Thomas Kottke, medical director of HealthPartners, said 6,300 Minnesotans die from tobaccorelated diseases and smoking costs the state more than $3 billion annually. Of greater concern is the increasing number of teenagers smoking products they buy from 18-year-olds in high schools. David Willoughby, chief executive officer of ClearWay Minnesota, one of 50 coalition members advocating a change in the law, says that 95 percent of adult smokers begin smoking before age 21. If young people can be prevented from smoking by 21, they probably will never smoke. A recent Minnesota Youth Tobacco survey conducted by the National Institute of Health revealed that 38.7 percent

of high school and 12 percent of middle school students use tobacco products. When the Edina City Council became the first Minnesota city to change the purchasing age, it estimated that 60 high school juniors in Edina were smoking. Lately there’s more evidence that early smokers damage brain development, Kottke said. “Nicotine interferes with brain maturation and has long-term effects on development and mental health,” he said. Most of the opposition to the change is coming from retailers who say the proposed law would hurt their sales. The percentage of tobacco products sold to 18-to-20-year olds is from 2 to 4 percent, according to ClearWay Minnesota. Based on public opinion related to the legal age for smoking, retail sales should not be the dominant factor in making a change. A report released by the Centers for Disease Control in 2015 showed that 75 percent of adults favored increasing the tobacco age to 21. That included 70 percent of current smokers and 65 percent of those ages 18 to 24. Regardless of the law retailers counter that young people will find other ways

to get tobacco products. Minnesota research says, however, that if the change were made 30,000 fewer young people would smoke in the next 15 years. Others argue that if 18-year-olds are eligible for the armed services and place themselves in harm’s way they should be able to buy tobacco products. The military, however, is concerned about early smoking and its effect on the health of men and women to be battleready. A support group of more than 200 retired generals and admirals strongly backs raising the legal age to purchase tobacco products, according to retired Air Force Brig. Gen. John Sheedy. Because research on the harmful effects of using tobacco products, particularly by Minnesota youth, is so serious, we join with Minnesotans For a Smoke Free Generation in urging the Minnesota Legislature to pass a law changing the legal age for tobacco purchases to 21.

Real-world STEM learning is strong in District 191 by Cindy Amoroso INTERIM SUPERINTENDENT BURNSVILLE-EAGAN-SAVAGE SCHOOL DISTRICT 191

Our students are applying real-world skills and hands-on learning to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) projects across the district. I’m amazed, impressed and proud of our students and what they’re achieving. For example, engineering students at Burnsville High School are designing a new protective case for the Chromebooks that are issued to all students and teachers in District 191’s secondary schools. Josh Holtzleiter, Zachary Matthews, Tim Johnson and Raymond Kwong are working together with Acer, the manufacturer of the district-issued Chromebooks, along with District 191’s technology department to build a case that is more robust than the cases currently given to students and staff. Another group of Burnsville High School students is assisting Principal Lyle Bomsta with a project at William Byrne STEM Elementary School to create an augmented reality sandbox, based on those created at the University of California-Davis. It’s a great interactive learning

Guest Columnist

Cindy Amoroso tool for a STEM school to have because it combines science and technology to learn about water use, erosion, landforms, weather, concepts like cause and effect, and much more. The students – Fiona Chow, Josh Johnson, and Garrett Riedesel – are designing the most efficient mount for the projector and camera. In addition, they will program the software and calibrate the equipment. Fiona is a standout student who was recently selected for the TWIST EPIC Award from Target Corp.’s Women in Science & Technology. The award honored 25 young women in the Twin Cities and surrounding areas for their dedication to STEM. As a TWIST EPIC award recipient, Fiona now has a mentor who works

at Target in the cybersecurity field and will job shadow him. In addition, Fiona joined with three other seniors (Emily Reynolds, Katherine Do and Anna Warmka) to start a new club at Burnsville High School this year to encourage and support girls interested in STEM careers. They know that women are under-represented in STEM jobs and they want to change that dynamic. It’s not just Burnsville High School that offers amazing STEM opportunities. At our middle schools, we have Project Lead the Way, a STEM curriculum that is all about problem-solving, critical and creative thinking, collaboration and communication. Makerspaces have been created in our elementary and middle schools. These creative learning environments encourage students to create, collaborate and learn by building in a self-directed way. The hands-on approach means students immerse themselves in problem solving while building life and career skills including planning, critical thinking and communication. At our 10 elementary schools, digi-

tal learning specialists are teaching vital tech skills to all students and also coaching teachers on embedding technology in their daily instruction. We’re bringing families in, too. Burnsville High School hosted our first “Family Hour of Code” during worldwide Computer Science Education Week on Dec. 7. In our schools, students in kindergarten through grade 12 have opportunities to learn coding, which is telling a computer exactly what to do by giving it step-bystep directions. We want parents to understand what coding is and why it’s important to future careers. As Burnsville High School computer science teacher Cindy Drahos said, “With computers everywhere, we need to encourage and engage our students’ interest in computer science. Every student deserves the chance to learn computer science to access the best careers of the 21st century.” Cindy Amoroso is the interim superintedent of Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District 191.

Letters Continuing to speak up To the editor: Thanks to south metro neighbors for replying to my Dec. 21 letter. We have differing views on how to achieve a shared goal — a robust economy that benefits all. My letter criticized U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis for claiming that the tax bill would create more GDP growth than any analysis provided. Now, unsurprisingly, I have some comments: Letter writer Kyle Christensen is correct that GDP growth has averaged 3.2 percent for 70 years. But he chastised me for only citing groups that fit my “ideological” lens. Somehow, he missed a key part of my letter. In addition to two government and two nonprofit studies, I included two conservative viewpoints. The centerright Tax Foundation and Secretary Steve Minuchin’s Treasury Department supported the bill, but concluded that it would not generate GDP gains of 3-plus percent, nor would pay for itself. Regardless of Chris-

tensen’s wishes or those of Lewis, my last sentence remains true, “There is no thorough analysis by any organization that supports Lewis’s claim…” I agree with letter writers Michael and Carol Hawke that “greed and ignorance” contribute to a weak economy. However, I’d like to correct factual errors and challenge a statement. They said that their retirement, based on stock market success, is grow-

ing for the first time in 15 years. Of course, I don’t know how they are invested, but the S & P has grown each year since its negative performance in 2008. They stated that President Obama increased the debt dramatically by “giving billions to terrorist nations like Iran.” The United States delivered no money from our coffers to Iran — only Iranian dollars frozen under economic sanctions. Last, they noted that

“Republicans have stood up and reclaimed America for themselves …” and then advised me, “Live with it.” This is a startlingly anti-democratic notion. Tea Party members did not “live with it” and neither did talk show host Lewis. In 1963 I attended a rally to mourn the murder of four girls in a Birmingham church. I will continue to speak up, to write letters, to march, to organize — our American tradition. HOWARD SCHNEIDER Lakeville

Indivisible is made up of ordinary folks To the editor: The Jan. 5 letters section included a rant from someone trying to “sound the alarm” about Indivisibles “embedded in our country, causing disruption and chaos,” who in other times “would be considered subversive.” There was more, but you get the idea. It was a remarkable lashing out by one person against so many fellow citizens. For nearly a year, I’ve been a member of one of the Indivisible groups in our

area. Like most (or all?) Americans, I’m disappointed when our nation elects as president the person I didn’t vote for. After past disappointments, I simply went about my life. However, the election of this particular president concerned me so much that I felt a need to do something. Indivisible’s mission to resist the Trump agenda appealed to me, so I went to the Indivisible website, entered my zip code, and located a group near me. It’s a group founded by a minister and co-moderated by a grandmother. Through the group, I’ve met many people: older people, younger people, people struggling to get by, people doing just fine — lots of people, but no subversives. Just ordinary folks, many of whom (like me) had not been politically engaged before November 2016. As the writer mentioned, there are 6,000 local Indivisible groups. Based on my experience and familiarity with groups other than the one I’m in, I advise readers to be skeptical of anyone seeking to demonize an entire body of people. I encourage anyone wishing to learn more to go on Facebook, type Indivisible in the search box, and check out a group or event that may be of interest. JAMES M. KAUFMANN Burnsville

Indivisible is not ANTIFA

ANTIFA’s publicly stated tenets. I joined Indivisible in early 2017 because I felt moved to preserve the great nation I grew up in. Democratic organizing and peaceful demonstration are not “subversive” – they are a proud American tradition. Social activism is the beating heart of democracy, whether those activists come from the right, left, or center, and it’s incumbent on all of us to preserve everyone’s right to practice it. Peterson is correct on a few things. Indivisible does have an agenda, but “preventing voter suppression” and “sustainability” are not just buzz words to us. We should all be appalled when legal voters are turned away at the polls, despite our political differences. Likewise, when the U.S. Department of Defense states climate change is a major national security issue, “sustainability” is more important than ever. She is also right that Indivisible is no small effort. It is a concerted, nationwide resistance against efforts to undermine America’s free press, obfuscate the truth, and upend decades of global stability. Thanks to our activism, candidates like Roy Moore in Alabama are losing their re-election bids, and we are just getting started. Indivisible is not some sinister organization trying to subvert America’s institutions. It is an American institution. It’s comprised of your neighbors, family members, and fellow citizens. In fact, if you would like to see America retain the values of inclusion and prosperity that made her great, Indivisible’s door is open to you. So, no. Despite Ms. Peterson’s veiled accusations, that sound you hear is not an alarm. It is freedom ringing.

Seniors fight child hunger with Feed My Starving Children Over 10,000 south metro volunteers will pack 2 million meals by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Around the world, 6,200 kids die every day of starvation. Charlie Maus thinks that even one hungry child is too many. He’s been working with groups to end child hunger for eight years. Maus volunteers with an organization called Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) and brings along groups from the Apple Valley Senior Center. Eight years ago, his son and granddaughter set up an FMSC session in Chanhassen. After hearing stories about hungry kids all over the world, Maus began researching the organization on his own. He became so passionate about the mission that he decided to organize his own FMSC group with other people at the Apple Valley Senior Center. Every third Thursday of the month, a group of 20 to 40 seniors travels to the FMSC packing site in Eagan, located at 990 Lone Oak Road No. 136, to help prepare meals for hungry kids. The group begins packing meals on-site at noon. To make transportation easier, some of the participants meet at the Apple Valley Senior Center at 11:30 a.m. and ride share over to Eagan. They pack for two hours and then return home. Some of the volunteers stand and pack the dried chicken, vegetables, soy and rice into bags. Others sit and label each bag. People looking to get in a workout help in the warehouse by loading boxes of food. During a 2-hour session, volunteers usually pack 216 meals each. FMSC board member Stewart McCutcheon predicts the group from Apple Valley has packed more than 600,000 meals over the past eight years. Maus said he thinks it’s even more than that. Because his group volunteers so regularly,

they are able to work together as a well-oiled machine to accomplish the task quickly. They are proud that they almost always pack more than the average volunteer. “We’ve got a pretty hardcore group of people,� he said. “We’re pretty efficient at packing the meals, and we feel like we are connecting with kids who are literally starving.� Although many groups sign up for a one-time FMSC packing event, Maus said it is important for his group to go every month because they want their efforts to be sustainable. “If you give food to a starving child, that’s great,� Maus said. “But you need to give it to them for months, for years.� McCutcheon said the organization appreciates the work of the seniors.

“We are so appreciative of the people who come in consistently,� he said. “The faithfulness of the group over the years has been amazing.� He said the monthly commitment is an asset to the senior center’s packed calendar of events. “The Apple Valley Senior Center has an amazing portfolio of services for their seniors,� McCutcheon said. “But we are grateful they go beyond that, and say: ‘we are not just here to help ourselves, we are here to help others.’�

bow Foods building in Apple Valley for the past two years, it will return to Prince of Peace this year. Ridgeway said they are preparing to clear out the sanctuary and community room so there will be space for all of the equipment and volunteers. “It’s quite an undertaking to adjust and, in essence, remodel that portion of our building to be able to accommodate,� she said. Volunteers from 19 partner congregations, as well as several school groups, sports teams, community groups and other volunteers from south of the river communities will come together to disrupt childhood hunger. “It’s a great way to get the community out and participating in work that will ultimately save children’s lives,� McCutcheon said. Experienced FMSC volunteers and people who’ve never heard of the organization are all invited to help pack the food and make donations. “It is a wonderful starting point for families and people of all ages to experience the joy of giving back,� Ridgeway said. “It’s a true, hands-on feeling of accomplishment that you’re helping to do good in the world.� People interested in donating or registering to volunteer at the South Metro MobilePack between Jan. 29 and Feb. 3 can visit www.popmn.org/mission/ fmsc. People looking to learn more about Feed My Starving Children can visit www.FMSC.org. People seeking more information about volunteering each month with Charlie Maus and his group from the Apple Valley Senior Center can call the center at 952-953-2345.

From Monday, Jan. 29 to Saturday, Feb. 3, Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Burnsville will host a massive meal packing event in its facility. Instead of asking volunteers to travel to the permanent packing sites, FMSC will bring meal packing equipment to the church. This is just one of four MobilePack events around the Twin Cities. In total, 35,000 volunteers will pack an estimated 6 million meals for hungry children around the world at these events. The South Metro MobilePack alone will require 10,000 volunteers and $500,000 to pack 2 million meals over the course of the week. Dawn Ridgeway is heading up the South Metro event.

Kids ‘n Kinship celebrates National Mentoring Month A game of catch turned into seven years of mentorship

by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Robert Ward had seen the presentations by the Rotary Club for years, but he never considered becoming a Kids ’n Kinship mentor himself until his youngest son was a sophomore in college. The not-for-profit organization expressed the same need at the presentation Ward attended in 2010 as they do today: kids needed mentors. “My kids were gone, and I thought maybe I could help out a boy,� Ward said. “I missed doing things with my own kids — just playing ball and coaching, doing things like that.� So, in the beginning of 2011, Ward called Kids ’n Kinship and said he was interested in being matched with a mentee. The organization met with him and showed him several potential matches. No names of the children were provided, but Ward could read descriptions of the children’s interests and background situations. “One boy really struck me,� Ward said. “His father had just passed away. He has a single mom trying to raise seven kids. It just struck me that it might be a really good fit.� Ward and his wife, Shelley, met with the boy and his mother. They talked about some of the things the mentee was interested in doing. Ward expected the 9-year-old to suggest going to Nickelodeon Universe or other big and expensive activities. But the boy’s answer surprised him. “He said he wanted to go play catch with a football,� Ward said. “That’s when it hit me: they just need a sounding board, someone as an outlet.�

Robert Ward and his mentee attend a baseball game together through the Kids ‘n Kinship mentorship program. They recently celebrated the seventh anniversary of becoming a mentor-mentee match. Now, Ward’s mentee is 16, and Ward has been striving to be a positive male role model in his life for nearly seven years. For the first five years, the mentor pair met every week. They had fun doing activities from playing catch and basketball to going canoeing and swimming. Now they meet every two or three weeks. They watch a professional sports game on TV or eat a home-cooked meal together. “It’s a lot of hanging out — being there for him,� Ward said. Ward still finds that one of his main

roles as a mentor is to be a sounding board. He’s listened while his mentee told stories about things that have happened at school or at home, and he’s helped him process those events. “Kids ’n Kinship does a wonderful job of training you. You aren’t there to be another parent. You’re there to be an adult friend,� he said. “In this day of social media and 24-hour news and communication, there’s nothing that replaces sitting down, eyeball to eyeball with someone and listening.� Ward said the organization helped him come up with ideas for new activities, and they encouraged him to simply ask his mentee what kinds of things he might be interested in as he got older. Kids ’n Kinship also makes tickets available for events and outings — Ward and his mentee especially enjoyed going to the Science Museum of Minnesota and sporting events throughout the years. Whether they are baking a pizza, watching a sports game or doing an activity, Ward said the gift of time is the most valuable thing he has to offer. “To know that somebody appreciates you, for who you are — having a sounding board — that’s the most important thing for these kids,� Ward said. “I don’t think teenagers have a chance to have a meaningful discussion with an adult who is not judging them very often — that’s what keeps me going.� Recently, Ward helped his mentee apply for jobs. The 16-year-old has been working at a restaurant for two months. “He’s realizing that this is real life. Having a job has matured him significantly,� Ward said. “I told him ‘I’m really proud of you. You are taking on a lot of responsibility, and you are doing it well.’

� January is National Mentoring Month. Kids ’n Kinship is celebrating its 67 mentor-mentee matches, and it is looking for volunteer mentors for 21 kids on the waitlist. “Most of the time, our volunteer mentors say that they are getting involved to make a difference for a child, but what many of them find is that they benefit so greatly from it themselves,� Kids ’n Kinship Director Jan Belmore said. Mentors are asked to commit to one year with their mentee, but Belmore has discovered that Kids ’n Kinship matches stay together for an average of three years. “That extended time speaks to the fact that people get invested in it. They find it enjoyable,� Belmore said. “It becomes less about ‘what are we going to do’ and more about the bond that has developed. It’s more about true friendship.� To learn more about national efforts, visit: www.mentoring.org/our-work/ campaigns/national-mentoring-month. To learn more about Kids ’n Kinship, visit www.kidsnkinship.org or call 952892-6368. People interested in hearing more about mentorship opportunities can attend either of the two upcoming information sessions. One will be Feb. 3 from 10 to 11 a.m. at Merchants Bank, located in Apple Valley at 14990 Glazier Avenue. The other will be Feb. 20 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Wescott Library in Eagan, located at 1340 Wescott Road. Contact Amy Mihelich at amy.mihelich@ ecm-inc.com.

Participating local Applebee’s included Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan and Lakeville.

Burnsville is one of five Fairview hospitals to earn a fourstar rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. CMS evaluates more than 4,000 hospitals nationwide and assigns them one to five stars, with five being the best possible rating. Fairview Southdale Hospital in Edina earned a five-star rating. Designed to help patients compare hospitals, the CMS rating system is based on 57 publicly reported quality measures across performance areas such as patient experience, safety of care, readmission and effectiveness of care.

Furnace giveaway winner named Burnsville Heating & Air Conditioning Inc. named Tina Olvedt of Prior Lake as the winner of a new Daikin furnace in the company’s Warm Winter Wishes Furnace Giveaway on Dec. 27. Thanks to a donation by Stevens Equipment Supply, Burnsville Heating was able to install a high efficiency Daikin furnace

with an energy-saving electronically commutated motor to provide Olvedt and her family additional savings on utility bills. Olvedt and her husband are both disabled veterans and have two young children. With a tight budget already stretched with mortgage payments and daycare costs, a furnace repair would displace the family. The giveaway ran from Oct. 30 through Dec. 3. Minnesota residents who wanted to nominate themselves or someone they knew in need of a new furnace were able to submit an entry through Facebook on why they or someone they knew deserved the free furnace. The contest garnered 75 entries and after a panel of judges reviewed the entries, Olvedt was selected on Dec. 6 based on the criteria of how well the entry was written, the need explained and the level of need. Olvedt claimed her prize on Dec. 11.

Virtually all of the spaces inside the current Galaxie Library in Apple Valley will be altered after a renovation project starts in February.

Heading into a new Galaxie Extensive remodeling of the Apple Valley library to begin in February

Heading into a new Galaxie Extensive remodeling of the Apple Valley library to begin in February by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Frequent visitors to the Galaxie Library in Apple Valley will experience a change in their routine next month through about Labor Day when the library will close for extensive renovations. The Dakota County Board approved two contracts for the project during its Jan. 2 meeting totaling $3.14 million for the renovation work and new automated material-handling (AMH) equipment for check-in and checkout. Mankato-based Brennan Construction of Minnesota Inc. won the construction contract with a low bid of $2.945 million among several bidders. The company, which recently completed a renovation of the Northfield Public Library, also has an office in Edina. It has completed other Twin Cities projects, such as a fire station in Ramsey and the Children’s Museum of Southern Minnesota, which was developed inside a former city garage. The other two lowest bidders were within $120,000 of Brennan’s bid, making the project a very competitive one. County staff and Bentz Thompson Rietow Archi-

tects reviewed the bidder qualifications and found that Brennan had a responsible bid. The renovation project will be paid for using a portion of the $5.4 million that was included in the adopted 2017 Capital Improvement Program budget for design and construction of the Galaxie Library Renovation. The funding will be carried over to 2018 as part of the annual carryover process. County officials said the project will move most library features, including the collections for children and teens along with moving the restrooms. A new iLab, which includes 3D printers, Apple iMac computers and Adobe Creative Suite, will be a focal point visible from the new lobby. A new AMH equipment room and relocated book drop and new staff work areas will be on the east side of the building. Georgia-based Bibliotheca LLC, which has an office in Oakdale, Minnesota, won the AMH contract for $198,452. The new system will have internal and external book drops, 11 bins and will be expandable, according to the county. It will allow multi-item returns, read radio-frequency identification tags and sort materials. County staff said it will reduce staff hours needed to sort materials, reduce the potential for repetitive stress injuries, and will reduce time materials are out of circulation. The Galaxie Library design includes a purpose built room for the equipment to keep noise out of office areas and features a large window so the public

can see the books they return get sorted. All Dakota County Libraries currently have AMH systems except the Galaxie Library. Funding for the AMH of up to $250,000 was included in the approved 2017-2021 Building Capital Improvement Program budget for the Galaxie Library Renovation. The funding that remains at the end of 2017 will be carried over to 2018 as part of the annual carryover process. The construction is planned to begin in February 2018 and will continue through August. The Galaxie Library will close Jan. 29. A temporary library space in the Western Service Center lobby will incorporate Conference Room 108. Services available in the interim library include: Holds and returns, Law Library, a small collection of popular titles will be available for adults, printer and copier and Chromebooks may be checked out for use in the atrium. Full library services, materials and programs are available at nearby county libraries: • Burnhaven Library, 1101 W. County Road 42 in Burnsville • Heritage Library, 20085 Heritage Drive in Lakeville • Robert Trail Library, 14395 Robert Trail in Rosemount • Wescott Library, 1340 Wescott Road in Eagan Current Galaxie Library staff will be reassigned to the four libraries anticipated to see the largest increase in usage during the construction period.

In March, the Burnsville City Council will consider a number of street projects for construction in 2018. These projects, estimated at $11 million, are based on the city’s five-year Capital Improvement Plan. The plan prioritizes improvements based on age/condition of the roadway and replacement schedules of utilities under the street. Most projects will begin around midMay, and are planned to be substantially completed by Labor Day. Neighborhood meetings will be held in January for affected residents, who should have already received notices. Projects planned for 2018 include: Street Reconstruction: Typically includes complete curb and gutter replacement, road reconstruction, water main replacement, storm sewer repairs/ upgrades and sanitary sewer repairs. • Burnsville Heights area (west of County Road 5) Street Rehabilitation: Typically includes spot curb repair, milling the top 2 inches of pavement and placing a 2-inch asphalt overlay. • West Frontage Road (Highway 13 and I-35W) • Travelers Trail (Highway 13 and I35W) • Morgan Avenue (south of County Road 42) • West Preserve Boulevard (west of Southcross Drive) Street Reclamation: Typically a hybrid of rehabilitation and reconstruction.

Sports Nordic skiers finally get out on the snow Local teams compete at Loppet Invitational by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Although the Mesabi East Invitational remains a premier event on the high school Nordic skiing regular-season schedule, teams from the metro area have another option that doesn’t require a long bus ride or overnight stay. Teams from Burnsville, Lakeville and all District 196 schools competed at the Loppet Invitational on Saturday at Theodore Wirth Park in Minneapolis. Highlights for local teams included a thirdplace finish by the Eagan boys in the 5-kilometer classic race, third by the ISD 196 girls (Apple Valley, Eagan, Rosemount)

in the 5K freestyle, fourth by the Eastview girls in freestyle and fourth by Burnsville’s girls in classic. A combined Lakeville North/South team won the first of two heats in the girls sprint relay and finished second in the event overall. In girls freestyle, Eastview senior Kareena Clendening was fourth in 15 minutes, 4.96 seconds. Theresa Passe of ISD 196 was sixth in 15:27.71. Top Lakeville skier was ninthgrader Haley Moerbitz, who was 29th. Burnsville senior Matthew Berg was sixth in the boys freestyle in 12:35.86. Max Marshall of Eagan was 14th in 13:11.01 and Aidan Lau of ISD 196 (Apple Valley, Eastview and Rosemount for boys) placed 16th in 13:24.06. Charlie Dilla of Eagan was 17th. Wyatt Hall led Lakeville with a 36th-

place finish. Burnsville and Eagan were sixth and eighth in the boys freestyle team standings with Lakeville 14th and ISD 196 15th. An eighth-place finish by Hanna Holmstrom led Burnsville to fourth in the girls classic team standings. Holmstrom finished in 17:17.57, about three seconds ahead of Eastview’s Gabby Kraemer, who placed ninth. Anna Schumann of Eastview and Kaitlyn Qualley of Burnsville were 12th and 13th. Olivia Matsoff finished 23rd to lead ISD 196 and Grete Engels was 27th for Lakeville. Bryant Ruff of ISD 196 was third in boys classic in 13:10.66, less than three-tenths of a second out of second place. Thomas Ryan of Burnsville was sixth in 13:50.99, and Eagan’s Brian Dilla (14:21.66) and Jack Mar-

tin (14:28.91) were eighth and ninth. Eli Pickett was 40th to lead Lakeville. Eastview placed fifth and ISD 196 eighth in girls classic team standings. Lakeville was 16th. Burnsville’s boys took fourth in classic, two points behind Eagan, while ISD 196 was seventh and Lakeville 18th. Three South Suburban Conference meets scheduled for December were canceled because of lack of snow. The conference’s teams finally got to compete on snow at a freestyle meet Jan. 2 at Hyland Recreation Area in Bloomington. St. Paul Highland Park and Northfield joined the meet and Highland Park swept the boys and girls team competition. The top two girls finishers were from Highland Park and the third-place skier was from Northfield.

Tess Grunklee of ISD 196 placed fourth in 16:31.1 in the 5K race. Eastview’s Kraemer (16:50.3) and Josie Roberts (16:51.2) were sixth and seventh, and Lakeville’s Violet Tessier was eighth in 16:54.8. Clendening of Eastview was 10th in 17:07.2. Eastview and ISD 196 were second and third in the girls team standings at the Jan. 2 meet, while Lakeville was fifth and Burnsville seventh. Burnsville was without its top skier, senior Kelly Koch, for both of last week’s races because she is competing in the U.S. Cross Country Ski Championships in Anchorage, Alaska. Koch was 12th in the junior female 5K classic race Sunday. Ruff of ISD 196 was first in boys freestyle at the Jan. 2 South Suburban meet, finishing in 13:35.0. Burnsville’s Ryan was

third in 14:12.7. Martin of Eagan was seventh in 14:43.6 and his teammate, Dilla, finished ninth in 14:45.5. Burnsville’s Berg completed the top 10, taking 10th place in 14:47.3. Top Lakeville skier was Henry Nomeland, who was 37th. Burnsville was second to Highland Park in the boys team standings. ISD 196 and Eagan were fourth and fifth, and Lakeville placed seventh. Two South Suburban Conference meets are scheduled this week. A classic meet was to be Tuesday at Hyland Recreation Area. Classic and freestyle races will be held Saturday at Valleywood Golf Course in Apple Valley. Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

Youthful Blaze Notes: Eagan swimmers take on state’s best remains patient by Mike Shaughnessy Ups, downs evident in girls basketball team’s 4-9 start by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Ask Maurice Hodges what Burnsville’s girls basketball team needs most right now and the word “consistency” keeps coming up. That should be no surprise for a team that has just two seniors and one junior on its varsity roster. As is typical for a team loaded with freshmen and sophomores, the Blaze has experienced ups and downs. On the upside, Burnsville went to Hastings last month and beat a previously undefeated Raiders team. The Blaze also played competitively in two losses to Edina. In its last two games, Burnsville experienced the downside of using young players in the powerful South Suburban Conference, losing to Apple Valley and Rosemount by 20 points or more. Hodges, the Blaze’s first-year head coach, said he and the players are undeterred. “We’ve already played some of the teams in our (playoff) section,” he said. “We lost by two to Henry Sibley in our first game. We beat Eagan and Hastings. We’ve proven we’re competitive against those teams. We’ve played well in spots. Now we’re looking for more consistency. We want to be playing well at the end of the season, and if we are we can win some games in the section playoffs.” Burnsville is 4-9 overall and 1-4 in the South Suburban after the back-to-back losses to Apple Valley and Rosemount. The Blaze is looking for more scoring, and the need for offense was driven home in a 52-32 loss to Rosemount on Tuesday. “We have one player (sophomore guard Zhane Thompson) who started in varsity games last year,” Hodges said, “And we have other kids who have talent and are working hard. It’s just going to take some time.” Thompson is the top returning player on a guard-dominant Burnsville roster. She is averaging 14 points a game and had a season-high 24 in Burnsville’s 72-49 victory over East Ridge on Jan. 3. Sophomore forward Paige Servais averages 9.2 points. There appears to be more scoring potential on the roster; eight players have scored at least 10 points in a varsity game so far this year. Forward Natalie Engel and guard Carresha Russell are the seniors on the roster. Center Annalyse Fogan is the lone junior. Sophomore Megan Diggan is in the varsity rotation, as are ninth-grade forwards Morgan Krumwiede and Hannah Lake. Guard depth helps the Blaze play the style Hodges said he prefers, which is to push the ball upcourt quickly when it has the ball and try to force turnovers when it doesn’t. Burnsville isn’t the conference’s biggest team, which makes good perimeter shooting a priority. Hodges, formerly an assistant coach in the Prior Lake boys program, is tasked with returning the Burnsville girls program to prominence. Burnsville once was one of the state’s premier programs with eight state tournament appearances and three championships, but the last state trip was in 1996 and there have been mostly lean years the last decade. Hodges said he sees potential in the Burnsville program. “The numbers in the youth program and high school program are up. We have a contract with a company, Minnesota Developmental Basketball, to help our kids develop their skills. “I’m here for the long haul. It’s going to take some dedication from our kids, but we can build something here.” Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecm-inc.com.

Many of the state’s top boys swimming teams gathered at the University of Minnesota on Saturday for the Maroon and Gold Invitational. Among the highlights was the performance of Lakeville North junior Andrew Trepanier, who set two meet records. Swimming in the Maroon Division, Trepanier took first in the 50-yard freestyle in 20.50 seconds and the 100 freestyle in 45.55. He also anchored a 200 freestyle relay team that finished second. Lakeville South was sixth, Rosemount eighth and Lakeville North ninth in the Maroon meet, one of four divisions at Saturday’s invitational. Lakeville South won the 200 medley relay with Brady Torborg, Tate Leverenz, Carson Witte and Ray Bares finishing in 1 minute, 40.58 seconds. Torborg also won the 100 backstroke in 54.49. Rosemount senior Grant Toenges was first in the 100 butterfly in 54.78. Farmington placed fifth in the Bronze Division, and Tigers sophomore Seth Krause was runner-up in diving with 203.30 points. Most of the top-ranked teams competed in the Gold Division, where Eagan placed 10th in a meet won by Minnetonka. Shakopee, the other South Suburban Conference team in the Gold Division, was fourth.

and there continues to be no known risk to the public, according to a statement from Eagan police. Lifetime Fitness along with roads nearby opened Tuesday evening. As of Wednesday morning, officials were still on site near the area of initial drilling as well as the storm water pond east of Lifetime Fitness. There were more than 100 personnel including representatives from Magellan, emergency responders and environmental specialists on site for cleanup. Police took to social media to keep residents CODE, from 1A ment coordinator. “To me, this is long overdue, to be honest with you.” The city inspected the park at 14709 W. Burnsville Parkway in May 2015 and issued violation notices to 160 of the 233 homeowners, who rent their lots. Violations were primarily for nonconforming carport structures, awnings and structure setbacks, as well as exterior storage and trash containers in view. Park resident Kathryn Eich — who was cited for both a carport and storing a wheelbarrow outside — contested her case, which the district court made a class action on behalf of all Rambush homeowners. The city rescinded its enforcement actions after the court granted the class action. The city also adopted a new appeals process for code violations, replaced its property maintenance code with the International Property Maintenance Code and made other changes in city code. FAN, from 1A of their two children, was born three months prematurely. “We definitely figured he was trying to be born in Wisconsin, but it just didn’t quite work that way because we kept driving,” said Janet, who taught math for 23 years at Metcalf Junior High and now teaches at Burnsville High School. “Had we stopped, he could have been born in Chippewa Falls.” John weighed 2 pounds at birth, fought for three months in the NICU before going home and was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at 2, according to his father, who wrote in GARAGE, from 1A Civic Center Park, the 350-capacity concert space was due for the cityfunded upgrade under a 10-year maintenance plan, said Kolb-Williams, whose nonprofit took over music operations in 2015 after the city dissolved what had been a multipurpose teen center since 1999. The upgrade “continues to put THE GARAGE on the map, and Burnsville on the map, for concerts and for (bands) that are looking to come through the Twin Cities,” Kolb-Williams said. “It’s improving our game and making sure we’re a great option for tours coming through the region.” Completed last September, the upgrades include a resilient new floor with a “rubbery kind of surface,” PACKAGES, from 1A partment has a video of the suspect, which certainly helps the case, but they encourage people to report thefts without video or photographic evidence. “If we can make a list of things stolen and the locations, it helps us develop a suspect,” Machtemes

updated on progress. Dr. Christopher Kuhlman, project toxicologist at the Center for Toxicology and Environmental Health, said the center has been monitoring the air quality around the clock in the neighborhood. As of Tuesday, it had conducted more than 400 readings. “We are not seeing anything that indicates there’s a health concern in the community,” Kuhlman said. Tom Byers, manager of government and media affairs at Magellan Midstream Partners, said some of the gas did get into the storm water system, but the company has had trucks picking up the

product. “Because there was product on parking lots we immediately put sand to act as an absorbent,” Byers said. He also said contaminated soil is being dug up near the site of the spill, put into containers and taken to an approved disposal facility. “(The cleanup) is going to take as long as it needs to,” Byers said. “We’re going to be out here conducting the cleanup until everything has been done to the satisfaction of the city of Eagan, the (Environmental Protection Agency), the state and all of the other agencies that have responsibilities.”

Darrin Bramwell, Eagan fire marshal, said there’s no risk of fire at this point, but “we’d like to err on the side of caution with public safety while this is being mitigated. “Below ground there’s always a risk of the hazard of the fumes that are of the explosive limit level,” Bramwell said. “That’s why we’ve had the roads shut down.” Magellan does not anticipate any interruptions in supply to Minnesotaarea facilities.

Carports are now expressly allowed in R3-D (manufactured housing) zoning districts if they meet state building code and the homeowner obtains a building permit. A setback requirement that would have required a variance on many lots has been removed. But some nonconforming carports likely remain at Rambush under the current code, which regulates size and materials, according to Forslund. He said city staff will consult with the city attorney before deciding next enforcement steps. The city will “step gingerly” to “make sure we don’t repeat any mistakes” from previous enforcement efforts, which included first-notice letters and subsequent $110 reinspection fees if violations hadn’t been corrected. Burnsville used to conduct code enforcement when someone complained about a property. In 2013 the city went to adopted a “proactive” program of enforcing the city’s zoning, property maintenance

and building codes. The city was divided into six sections to be inspected over three years by a new Licensing and Code Enforcement Department. Rambush Estates was the last of Burnsville’s three manufactured home parks to be inspected, Forslund said. Residents were invited to a meeting at City Hall before inspections began, according to the appeals court ruling. The ruling found fault with some of the enforcement measures. “The lots that had carports received notices that demanded removal, but failed to state the reason that a carport was nonconforming or whether it could be made conforming,” it said. “The carport notices cited a provision in the city’s property maintenance code, which has since been repealed and replaced, but this provision did not address why carports were not permitted.” Setback-violation notices “also stated requirements that were inconsistent with the city code,” it said. Notices to home-

owners with objects outside were told that exterior storage was generally prohibited, when in fact objects in use must only be screened from view. “The city’s notices did not provide such an exception for objects in use, such as the wheelbarrow for which Kathryn Eich was cited,” the ruling said. But contrary to claims in the lawsuit, the opinion states that cities can enforce their own codes in manufactured home parks. The court found “multiple errors of law” in Dakota County District Judge Colleen King’s ruling granting a permanent injunction of city code enforcement at Rambush, according to Reuvers, the city’s attorney in the case. “Because neither federal nor state laws pre-empt the city codes within the manufactured home park, we reverse” the lower court ruling, the appeals court said.

his nomination that John lives by a coach Lombardi motto: “It’s not whether you get knocked down, it’s whether you get up.” John has endured many surgeries and physical therapy appointments. He uses crutches and a wheelchair. “It’s definitely been a tough road, but I know that with the Packers being something that has always been positive in my life, it’s definitely helped me continue to go further on and tough my way through the surgeries that I’ve had,” John said. He was still dressed in the suit and tie he wore while coaching his 12-yearold sister Lily’s basketball

team that day at Faithful Shepherd Catholic School in Eagan. John served for three years as the Burnsville High School football team’s equipment manager and sometimes-videographer. One of his senioryear gifts from the team’s booster club was a handmade Packers blanket. “I took it to college with me,” John said. “I still use it today.” He graduated last May from Winona State University with a degree in mass communications and transmedia. He’d love to work for the Packers. John was 2 when his parents took him to his first game at Lambeau Field. There’s a photo of him being held by Packers

hero Ray Nitschke shortly before he died. John and his parents have been to Lambeau 18 times together. “I considered myself the biggest Packers fan until my son was born,” Bob wrote. Voting for the Packers FAN Hall of Fame is available through midnight Jan. 31 at www.packers. com/FHOF. Votes of fans and previous honorees will account for half the vote, with the rest by a Packers FAN Hall of Fame selection committee.

Kolb-Williams said. “It’s great for winter,” he said. “It’s great for (sound) gear. That was one of the big pieces we had to get done.” The new stage is better fitted to the back wall of the trapezoid-shaped room, providing enlarged performance space, KolbWilliams said. “It provides amazing sightlines for people that are checking out shows,” he said. “The artists have just a ton of room now to work and set up and take advantage of the space.” New LED stage lighting was installed. Some baffling was added to the walls to improve the sound of the room. And a new, handicap-accessible sound booth at floor level replaces an elevated wooden structure with a rickety set of steps, Kolb-Williams

said. The new booth opens up the back wall and removes a sightline obstruction, he said. “Our production manager, Steffan Soulak, he’s been around for about eight or nine years on staff,” Kolb-Williams said. “This type of stuff has been permeating in his head. He’s had this vision for a long time.” Twin Cities Catalyst Music is a member of the Burnsville Youth Collaborative, the network of services that replaced the teen center and offers after-school activities at all three middle schools in Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District 191. THE GARAGE’s 2,000-square-foot recording studio, which opened in 2016, opens the space four days a week to students — Monday and

Wednesday for Burnsville High School and Tuesday and Thursday for the middle schools, Kolb-Williams said. Offerings also include music industry workshops and classes. City officials are pleased with the upgraded performance space, said Julie Dorshak, Burnsville’s recreation and community services manager. “We are looking forward to our continue partnerships with Twin Cities Catalyst Music, the Burnsville Youth Collaborative and School District 191 and their plans to provide educational programming to the youth of our community at the facility,” she said.

said. “If another neighbor had a video, we can aggregate the cases.” If police have a search warrant for specific items, it helps. While the holiday season is over, packages are often delivered year round. “It’s good to take prevention measures,” Machtemes said.

A required signature, delivery alert or special placement instructions can help. “It’s mostly a crime of opportunity,” Machtemes said. “Keep it out of plain view.” There’s also options to purchase insurance and ask for packages to be delivered at work, via the de-

livery service. For those with information related to the package thief, call 651-675-5700 or the 24-hour confidential tip line 651-675-5799.

Thisweekend Endangered animal born at zoo Photography exhibit opens

Photo submitted Photo courtesy of Minnesota Zoo

A female endangered Malayan Tapir calf was born approximately 5:45 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 6, at the Minnesota Zoo in Apple Valley. Both the calf and mom “Bertie� are doing well. This is the Minnesota Zoo’s third tapir birth in 6 years. Born at 16 pounds, the yet-to-be-named calf is busy bonding with mom behind the scenes.
