The first concern for Eagan Fire Chief Mike Scott following a report of a gas leak in southwestern Eagan was an explosion. “When you have a river of gasoline coming down a parking lot and coming down a street, you don’t want an ignition source,� Scott said.

Schroeder’s Miss Minnesota Teen USA title unexpected Rosemount High School senior found passion in pageantry by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Last year had some serious highs and lows for Peyton Schroeder. The Rosemount High School senior was a competitive dancer ever since she was 2 until she suffered a knee injury requiring reconstructive surgery in July. She was obviously devastated. “It was pretty much my whole life,� Schroeder said. “I went from so much activity to nothing.� Now left with hours of free time, she picked herself up and began pursuing pageants. “It gave me something to look forward to,� she said. “I really needed that. I felt like when I quit dance, I didn’t know who I was. This pageant helped me find out who I am.� A panel of judges selected Schroeder as the 2018 Miss Minnesota Teen Nov. 25-26 at the Ames Center in Burnsville. She was up against about 40 other teens from Minnesota. Schroeder didn’t look at the other contestants as competitors. “I made great friends,� she said. “We all still talk. We had

There were so many cool girls with so many similar interests.� She will participate in the Miss Teen USA later this year. The time and place will be announced soon. She’s already started preparing for the event. She’s selecting the evening gown and fitness wear, and she has met with interview experts. Schroeder may not want to over prepare. She feels her lack of coaching may have helped. “I think I have a really girl-

next-door vibe,� she said. “I didn’t have a coach. I really didn’t know much about pageants. I was just my normal self.� She’s comfortable on the stage after years of dancing. “I’ve done harder things than walking in heels,� Schroeder said. But even then, it took several physical therapy sessions to walk in heels again. By November she was all set for the evening gown, active wear and interview questions.

When she made the top 15, she was thrilled. “I was so happy I made it that far,� Schroeder said. “I was fine with whatever. But when it was announced that it was me, I was just bawling. It was so cool.� The south metro has had many successful Miss Teen USA contestants. Lakeville’s Tori Tritton was Minnesota’s representative in 2017 along with Kendra Berger (Apple Valley in 2012), Vanessa Johnston (Lakeville, 2009), Vanessa Vonbehren (Apple Valley, 2007), Allison Arling (Lakeville, 2004) and Kristen Hilgenberg (Lakeville 1998). Libby Watkins, assistant director of the pageant, said she wasn’t sure why so many girls from the area were drawn to the event. “A lot of girls do it for the scholarship or to spread their message,� Watkins said. “When their friends find out how much fun they had and how many cool people they meet, interest grows.� The title gives Schroeder the chance to support the Care of Police Survivors charity. Her father, Richard Schroeder, is the Rosemount fire chief

and a captain with the Dakota County Sheriff’s Department. “It’s a huge part of my life,� Schroeder said. “I’m looking forward during my reign to work with law enforcement. It’s an organization that’s helped families who have lost a loved one in the line of duty. It really hits home.� Schroeder has made appearances with Ronald McDonald House and Feed My Starving Children already. “It gives her a chance to really give back and use that crown and banner to do some positive things,� Watkins said. Her knee injury doesn’t stop her from choreographing for the dance team. She’s also been active in DECA through high school and is a member of the Tri-M Honor Society. The Rosemount High School senior plans to study management at the University of North Dakota next year. But for now, she’s focused on preparing for the Miss Teen USA pageant and her studies. And she just started dancing last week. Contact Andy Rogers at andy. rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Terry’s Hardware to close in Rosemount

Location will be consolidated into the Hastings site by Tad Johnson

SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Terry’s Hardware, which has been a fixture in downtown Rosemount for 39 years, announced earlier this month that it would be closing its store in February and consolidating it with its Hastings location. Owners Pete and Carrissa Terry said the decision was difficult but had to be made. Pete Terry said the issue was finding enough qualified workers to have two stores in operation. He said he currently has about half of the employees needed to run the two locations. Being able to offer the full service that people have come to expect at Terry’s Hardware was getting nearly impossible to do with a shorthanded staff, according to Pete Terry. He said they could have buried their heads in the sand and keep the Rosemount operation running, but instead decided

to close. The building and 1.13 acres of land are owned by Terry Investments. Pete Terry’s parents, Chuck and Darlene Terry, opened the forerunner of the current store — a Coast-to-Coast in 1978 at the south end of the KenRose Shopping Center, according to the history book “Rosemount: From the River to Space.� KenRose is now known as the Rosemount mall to the north of the current Terry’s location. In 1990, they changed the franchise affiliation to Ace Hardware and moved to their present location in 1999. Pete and Carrissa Terry took over ownership in 2008. In 2012, they dropped the affliation with Ace Hardware to become Terry’s Hardware in 2012. Pete Terry said in 2012 that splitting with Ace allowed the store to offer products that often made a trip to an out-of-town big box store not necessary

since Terry’s offers loads of items convenience and friendly, knowledgeable service. He said the store offered more than 40,000 different products at the time. “We are constantly changing to meet the demands for some things while others fade away,� Pete Terry said of the ability to change a product line by being independent. The Hastings store, which Pete Terry first managed as a favor to his parents about 27 years ago, is about double the size of the Rosemount location. After it closes for good to the general public, Carrissa Terry said on KDWA-Hastings radio they will open the Rosemount store on special request from longtime business customers until all of the product is cleared out of the store.

Schmid is board chair in District 191 Praises outgoing Chair Alt by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The District 191 School Board elected Jim Schmid as chair for 2018 during its annual organizational meeting Jan. 11. Schmid, of Burnsville, was first elected to the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage board in 2010 and was reelected in 2014. Board members elected DeeDee Currier as vice chair, Bob VandenBoom as clerk and Dan Luth as treasurer. After being seated as chair, Schmid praised outgoing Chair Abigail Alt, who served in 2017. He said she guided the board through the “abrupt resignation� of former Superintendent Joe Gothard, now the superintendent in St. Paul, and the “negotiation and transition� to a new superintendent, Cindy Amoroso.

other chair, ever,� Schmid said. In other organizational business, board members voted to keep their monthly salaries at the level set in January 2016 — $550, with an extra $50 stipend for the chair. The board designated Burnsville-Eagan Sun Thisweek as the district’s official newspaper. Board meetings will be held the second and fourth Thursdays of most months. Meetings begin at 6:30 p.m. in the Burnsville Room on the upper level of Diamondhead Education Center, 200 W. Burnsville parkway, Burnsville. Listening sessions are held from 5:45-6:15 p.m. prior to board meetings.

Voters approved two levy measures on her watch, which “will allow 191 to provide top-notch educational opportunities for our students well into the future,� Schmid said. In addition to meeting Contact John Gessner at with constituent groups, john.gessner@ecm-inc Alt attended countless .com or 952-846-2031. district events — “I would dare say more than any

At the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School Board meeting Monday, Jan. 8, the board welcomed Craig Angrimson to his first meeting as an official member. They also took a few moments to recognize Gary Huusko for his six years of service that ended after Angrimson earned more votes than Huusko this fall. Superintendent Jane Berenz outlined some of Huusko’s accomplishments. She said that in 2011, when Huusko was appointed to the board for the first time, he helped guide the district through several years of difficult budget cuts. In 2013 the voters elected Huusko, and he helped pass a levy referendum with overwhelming approval. She also recognized his work in communicating with voters during the 2015 election about the need to invest in new technologies. “You have provided excellent leadership on the School Board and are an outstanding ambassador for District 196,� Berenz said. “I’m sorry to see you leaving the board but happy to know you will continue to be involved in our district and find many different opportunities to still be connected.� Huusko began serving on the board when he was appointed to fill a vacancy after Kevin Sampers resigned in 2011. He’d been working with the District 196 School Board for several years on the budget advisory council and legislative advisory council. He also served on the District 196 Foundation board. When the vacancy opened up, Huusko submitted an application for the position. The board narrowed down its choice to five or six finalists and interviewed the applicants at an open meeting. After Huusko was appointed, he resigned from his position on the board of the 196 Foundation, as he felt it was a conflict of interest. He started preparing for and attending meetings with his fellow board members. “There was a lot of reading, and there were a lot of subcommittee meetings that we went to,� he said. “I knew that it was going to be a time commitment, so I wasn’t surprised about how much time it took.� Not much has changed between the way the board operates today and the way it worked in 2011, Huusko said, because the members have remained diligent and dedicated. “I have great respect for each of them,� he said. “We grew as we gained more experience, and as the district grew and changed we adapted. It’s one of the best boards that I’ve ever been on.� He said the board worked together to promote communication and transparency during his terms of service, which led to district improvements that voters could see. “One of the biggest accomplishments of the board was the massive capital improvements that the district is doing to upgrade the safety of virtually every building that we have — and some pretty major improvements on some of the schools in need of updating,� Huusko said. The key to the board’s efficiency and success, Huusko said, was that the board members respect each other. “None of the board members had their own agenda. We didn’t go into the board, or seeking re-election to the board, wanting to be a thorn in the side,� he said. “We were committed to making sure the students had the opportunity to be educated as well as they could be.� He said the biggest challenge was not having enough resources for the board to do what they’d like to do — especially when it came to compensating teachers.

“I think teachers are underpaid,� Huusko said. “I have a philosophical problem that we pay celebrities and sports people so much to entertain us, and as a society we are not willing to put money into education where we build the leaders of tomorrow.� He most enjoyed times the board recognized students, either individually or in groups, for their accomplishments. “The students of District 196 are exceptional. They outshine anything that I’ve ever done. It makes me happy that we can do that,� Huusko said. “It’s gratifying to know that the kids are doings so well, and that they will be prepared to run the country one day.� Huusko’s name appeared on the ballot this fall without the support of the teacher’s union. He said that is the biggest difference between his campaign this year and his campaign in 2013 and his campaign this fall. “I was disappointed I did not get their endorsement, but I understand why they did it,� Huusko said. “They wanted to have more union representation on the board. I’m an attorney. We don’t have unions.� He said when he found out he had lost the election he was “disappointed by not flabbergasted.� Huusko passed off the baton to Angrimson this month. “Craig is a nice person. He’s as committed and dedicated to the district as anyone could be,� Huusko said. “I think he’ll do a good job.� Huusko is used to transitioning in and out of leadership positions in his community. In the past, Huusko served on the Eagan and Apple Valley Rotary clubs, and was chosen as president of both. He’s been active in the Apple Valley Chamber of Commerce and Dakota County Regional Chamber of Commerce for 20 years, and he’s served as the chairman of the board for both of those organizations. He’s served as a board member of the Eagan Citizens Crime Prevention Association, and he was a member of the Eagan Foundation board for many years as well. He and his wife, Laurie, have also been active in District 196 as they volunteered at Woodland Elementary, Dakota Hills Middle School and Eagan High School — the schools their children, Tara and Tyler, attended. Huusko may no longer hold a seat on the board, but his calendar continues to fill up with community events. He will continue to serve as past president of Eagan Rotary, and he’s going to get involved in the District 196 Foundation again. He’ll also continue working with the School Board, as he was appointed to the legislative advisory council. As certified open water scuba diver, and he’s also looking forward to spending more time in the water. Huusko is also hoping to have time to go to Disney World with his family. He said he would consider running again if a spot opened up, but he wouldn’t want to go head-to-head with one of the current members. “I have a great deal of respect for the board that I worked with,� he said. “If there was an opening, I might consider it. But the incumbents I have too much respect for.� At the Jan. 8 School Board meeting, the board invited Huusko to say a few words. “Thank you to the board for your continued leadership and strengthening of our schools, for working hard in making sometimes tough decisions that help our students achieve to the best of their abilities and for helping make the district a place that attracts and retains the best teachers, support staff and administrators,� he said. “I promise to continue to help the district in any way I can.�

Opinion Dayton-Fishbach pairing could lead to bipartisan efforts by Peggy Bakken SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

In December, Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton met with State Senate President Michelle Fischbach, lunching on walleye and hot fudge sundaes. Today, both are key players in a very unique political struggle, centered on the very unusual situation of having our state’s governor and lieutenant governor of opposite parties. When Lt. Gov. Tina Smith was appointed to the U.S. Senate, the office of lieutenant governor, by state statute, was filled by the president of the State Senate, Fischbach. After that lunch, Dayton said: “I don’t think it will surprise anyone, when we disagree; however, that should not prevent us from having a constructive working relationship. She readily agreed. We also agreed to look for areas where we could work cooperatively together, and she suggested elder care.” I chuckled when I first read that statement. Isn’t it funny how tough it is to agree on anything? Then it made me mad. Is it really that difficult to find topics that a DFL governor and a Republican lieutenant governor could work together on?

Elder care is certainly one topic that I think everyone should feel strongly about. We’ve heard the horror stories of the elderly being abused, tormented and sexually assaulted in care facilities throughout the state. We’ve heard charges that these situations are often not reported to authorities and never investigated. Yes, absolutely, we should all agree that providing a safe environment for our elderly population is a priority. So, I started thinking – what other things could this politically split team of Dayton and Fischbach work on? How about making “farm to table” a Minnesota commitment? Our urban areas are overrun with new restaurants and fanatic foodies. Our farmers have been struggling with low commodity prices. Can we build stronger markets for all?

And what about that awful achievement gap we talk about every year but just can’t seem to crack. It is in the best interest of everyone to have a well-educated workforce in the pipelines, to fill skilled positions that are begging for workers. If we can actually narrow that gap among children, the prospect for skilled workers for the future is brighter. I would bet that almost all of you would add transportation to the list. Whether we are city folks who sit for endless hours on clogged highways, or rural residents who see their local bridges crumbling, we need long-term solutions and planning to ease congestion and to fix deteriorating infrastructure. I believe that’s as true in Bloomington as it is in Cambridge, and all parts in between. And this one conjures up many political divides, but isn’t it fair to say that we all want our families, friends and neighbors to live healthy lives? Shouldn’t everyone have access to quality and affordable health care? Water should be another topic that every Minnesota should care deeply about. We need to protect our precious aquifers, preserve quality drinking water, and keep our lakes and rivers teeming with fish for the sportsmen and women, and crystal

clear water for kayakers. We also want to find solutions to keeping agriculture runoff to a minimum without destroying the farm economy. Agreed? This unique situation of partisan state leadership may not even materialize. Fischbach and fellow Republicans have argued that she can do both jobs. DFLers have argued that is not possible. So far, Fischbach won’t take the oath of office and Democratic leaders are pursuing legal action to force the question. Perhaps my dream of using this very unusual situation to generate some real bipartisan cooperation is unrealistic. No doubt 2018 is going to have many very-hotly contested races with some distasteful name-calling. As we begin this wild election year, maybe the voters can all agree that we will hold all candidates accountable to real solutions rather than endless rhetoric, pushing Minnesota into better days ahead. We can dream, can’t we? Peggy Bakken is a former executive editor and a columnist for ECM Publishers. Reactions welcome: peggy.bakken@ecminc.com. Columns reflect the opinion of the author.

January is a great month to save money on college by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

January is a great month for students and families to save thousands, even tens of thousands of dollars. I’m not talking about discounts available on various consumer products. Many Minnesota eighth- through 11th-graders will register in January for their 2018-19 school year classes. Minnesota has terrific options, outlined below, that allow these students to take collegelevel classes at their high schools, on college campuses and online. Wise students will sign up for one or more classes that can earn them free, or virtually free, college credit. Doing so has many benefits beyond money. The Center for School Change (where I work) website includes research showing that many students taking one or more high school-college dual-credit courses develop what studies call “academic momentum.” Students have strong skills, more confidence and greater drive. This helps: – Increase the likelihood that students will graduate from high school. – Increase the likelihood that students will not just enter some form of postsecondary education but earn a certificate or diploma. That expands their job and career options. – Reduce the need for students to take remedial courses in college. That research is here: http://bit. ly/2CuV3KZ.

Among the options available in Minnesota include: – Advanced Placement courses, offered in high schools. Depending on students’ skills, they may be permitted to take such courses as early as the ninth grade. The amount of credit earned will depend on how well a student does on a final test administered by the College Board, a national group that creates and monitors AP. There’s no cost for the class but a charge for taking the exam. – College in the Schools/Concurrent Enrollment, offered in high schools in cooperation with various Minnesota colleges and universities. Students who pass these courses receive college credit at many colleges and universities. State law permits students starting in the ninth grade to take these courses if both the high school and college believe students are ready. There is no cost to students for these classes. – International Baccalaureate courses, offered in high schools. Generally, these courses are offered to high school juniors and seniors. There are two levels

of courses. Many colleges award credit to students who score well on the final examination. There’s no charge for the course but a modest charge for taking the final exam. – Project Lead the Way, a national program that offers college-level courses at various grades in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Again, no cost, but there’s a modest charge for taking the final exam. – Postsecondary Enrollment Options allows students, starting in the 10th grade, to take courses either on college campuses or online. A 2017 change in the PSEO law requires high schools to offer space and technology for students who want to take online PSEO courses. PSEO courses are available in applied, technical fields and in more traditional academic areas. There is no charge to take the courses. Transportation funds are available to help students from low-income families participate. These courses are available to all Minnesota students who can meet entrance requirements of the college or university they want to attend. – College Level Exam Program allows high schools students of various grades to earn credit by passing an exam in 33 areas. There is a cost for the test. – Early/Middle College Program: This is the newest option. Some high schools have created collaborative programs on college campuses for students who may not qualify for traditional PSEO courses. There is no charge for participating

students of various grades. More than 60 of these programs have been created throughout the state. Minnesota Department of Education offers information about many of these programs here: http://bit.ly/2EPlhWS. The Center for School Change also offers a one page summary: http://bit. ly/1KcRbI3. At the Legislature’s request, the Minnesota Office of Higher Education studied dual credit acceptance policies at Minnesota colleges and universities. MOHE’s detailed report is available here: http://bit.ly/2qfkMlH. Many high school students will find dual-credit classes are quite challenging. Please consider this when deciding how many you want to take. Nevertheless, there are many benefits. A national study published in 2017 found that the average Minnesota college loan is more than $31,000, which ranked sixth highest in the country. But as mentioned above, saving money isn’t the only reason for dual-credit courses. This is the perfect month for students to consider signing up for one or more of these very valuable courses.

Letters It’s only halftime To the editor: The game’s not over. We’re losing badly, but don’t go home yet. You bet the farm on this one, so it’s time to wake up. The first half was payback time. They cashed in, big time; hundreds-to-one or thousands-to-one on their Dark Money. What’s $10,000 or a $100,000 or more when billions are on the line. The donors of the investor-class got everything they wanted — a 40 percent tax cut (35 percent down to 21 percent). Not that they ever paid 35 percent; loopholes reduced that substantially. And they got to keep all their loopholes in the bargain. For the working class, not so clear. Those tax changes are complicated enough to obscure the interactions

and indirect effects; complexity is a tool of deceit. Distraction is another, so don’t look away. What’s in their playbook for the second half ? Who’s they? It’s only fair to know the name of the other team, though most fans haven’t figured it out yet. You’re playing against the neoliberals (alias libertarians) who have hijacked the Establishment GOP party and radicalized it beyond recognition. They now have a lock on at least two of the three branches of government. Conservatives, where are you? Some of the better known names would be Ayn Rand, Alan Greenspan, Milton Friedman, Charles Koch, Paul Ryan, and Mike Pence. They have elevated the notion of the “invisible hand of the market” to the keystone of their ideology. That keystone is

the “greed-is-good” market-control mechanism that they believe should replace government and its disruptive regulations. The market alone sorts out the virtuous winners, who rise to the top, from the undeserving lazy, who fall to the bottom where they belong. Sounds cruel and ridiculous? Not to true believers, whose next play is to dismantle the safety net that has been built up over the last hundred years: Obamacare, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, labor laws. They will do that by starving the beast with deficits, and then claiming that there’s no money for such programs. A stark statement? Keep your eye on the game. RAY LARSON Eagan

Attend a caucus To the editor: Precinct caucuses are coming. They will be held by the Minnesota political parties on Feb. 6. What does that mean for you? Well, in a few words – whatever you want it to be. Although caucuses are operated by the state political parties, anyone can participate. If you like a particular party candidate, the best way to help him or her is to attend your precinct caucus and begin the process of getting that candidate endorsed and elected. Caucuses are too often shrouded in mystery. The idea of the smoke filled rooms is long gone. Now,

the idea of the caucus is to encourage grassroots (individual) participation in our entire political process. Minnesota has a caucus for party business and candidate endorsements and an open primary to get a candidate on the official November ballot. A caucus begins the party endorsement process as a means to say which candidate the majority of the party supports. An endorsement does not mean your candidate is on the November ballot (the primary determines that), but it does give that candidate a structure of support heading into the primary. Participating in caucuses is also a means of influencing issues. You

can introduce a resolution (an issue statement about something you are passionate about) at the caucus which, if approved by a majority of caucus attendees, can move up the ladder to the conventions and maybe get into, for instance, the Democratic party action agenda. Caucuses have not changed. New regulations affect presidential candidate selection, but for state and local candidates, this is the same process we have always had. Attend your caucus on Feb. 6. Learn, participate, and get active. ROXANNE MINDEMAN Apple Valley

Hands-on history makes the past relevant MNHS Legacy Field Trip Support Fund brings history to life by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Giving students a chance to learn about historical times though in-person experiences makes all the difference, according to Elizabeth Kunkel, 6th grade social studies and history teacher at Black Hawk Middle School. Most 6th graders in Minnesota take “Minnesota Studies.� The unit focuses on the history, politics and social studies of the land of 10,000 lakes. Rather than simply reading about history in a textbook, Kunkel takes her students to places where they can experience history in a hands-on way. In the fall, Kunkel took her students to Fort Snelling. “We talk about the land and the kids interact with the actors,� she said. “We talk about questions like: why was that land useful for the Dakota? Why did the U.S. government want that land? What was the military like? Were there slaves at Fort Snelling? What was the role of women at the fort?� Kunkel said the kids learn about many aspects of Minnesota history throughout the day, and she intentionally plans the Fort Snelling trip at the beginning of the school year so she can reference the place and lessons learned there throughout the rest of the year. In 2017, 22,606 Minnesota students from 284 schools had the opportunity to take a field trip to MNHS historic sites,

thanks to the Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund (ACHF). Kunkel’s 6th grade class was one group of these students. The MNHS’ Legacy Field Trip Support Fund works with schools to address the issue of high busing costs, which can make field trips unaffordable for students. It is made possible by the Legacy Amendment’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund through the vote of Minnesotans on Nov. 4, 2008. It was founded in 2011, and is funded through ACHF dollars. The fund offers financial assistance to Minnesota schools to offset field trip transportation costs, reimbursing schools $4 per student. Any school in Minnesota with 25 percent or more of its students enrolled in the Federal Free and Reduced Lunch Program is eligible to apply for financial assistance. For Kunkel, these funds make all the difference. The field trips help her teach history as not just a single story, but as a chorus of voices. “There’s a big push for trying to make sure that you have multiple perspectives,� she said. “We can show that through primary sources, but actually going to a place allows the students to see it firsthand.� She said the MNHS understands the need to tell stories from different perspectives, and they try to incorporate a different narrative in their textbook – the one that Kunkel uses to teach her classes – than she was told when she was in school.

Students from Elizabeth Kunkel’s 6th grade social studies class learn about history through activities at the Minnesota History Center on a field trip on Tuesday. For example, she said she didn’t learn history that included stories from Native Americans while she was in school. When she started teaching this curriculum, she got to learn more about previously ignored historical perspectives. “Different perspectives show kids a different way of thinking about empathy — thinking about ways people can be similar and different from you and you can still be a whole person,� she said. Kunkel said she uses the

ies come to life at the museum when they encounter a model voyager canoe. “We can talk about first territorial settlers, immigration, push-pull factors of then and today — and the kids see themselves as a part of it all,� she said. The students also learned new things that weren’t covered in the textbook. They discovered new Dakota legends, saw a tank from WWI and had the opportunity to go inside a WWII bomber plane simulation where they listened to recordings of veterans talking about what it was like. They even learned about different weather systems in Minnesota. “They get more of a choice of what they want to learn about,� Kunkel said. “They can learn about things that interest them.� In 2018 fiscal year, Legacy Field Trip Support Fund is supported by $105,385 in Legacy dollars, and MNHS staff expect to serve a similar number of students as it did in 2017.

Former teacher under investigation for sexual assault Five have come forward with information about incidents 40 years ago by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A former RosemountApple Valley-Eagan School District 196 teacher is under investigation for sexually assaulting a student nearly 40 years ago. Charles Schroeder, now a resident of Minneapolis, was arrested in December for fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct following a report from a man who told police Schroeder had assaulted him while he was a student. The alleged victim had not reported this incident before, but decided to come forward with information after Schroeder commented on his Facebook wall for his birthday. The former student told police Schroeder invited him to his Apple Valley home in 1979 or 1980.

At press time, four more people had come forward with information about Schroeder. “We are still working through whether they are complaints that took place in Apple Valley or elsewhere,� Francis said. “A couple of these didn’t report a crime, but rather a suspicion.� Francis said the Apple Valley police department is investigating the complaint that occurred when

Keech received the award Jan. 11 at the association’s annual awards program in St. Paul. “I am honored,� Keech said. “Helping to prepare students for success in the hospitality industry is such a fun and rewarding job.� Keech teaches event planning, travel and tourism, and hotel and restaurant as part of the year-long hospitality management course at Eagan High.

She also teaches an advanced course that offers hands-on learning through job shadows and internships with local hospitality businesses. Hospitality management is part of the district’s Career Development Program, which also offers courses in animal science, aviation, computers and networking technology, emergency services, forensic science, medical and health care, music production, vehicle services and a mentor experience. Each of the courses is offered at one of the district’s high schools but they are open to all District 196 high school students. In addition to her work as a teacher, Keech founded a national nonprofit organization that provides assistance to families in crisis with critically ill or seriously injured children through housing grant payment assistance, engaged resource referral and advocacy. She and husband, Robb, founded Spare Key in memory of their son Derian, a courageous young boy with a joyful spirit who faced many surgeries during his short lifetime. Family, friends and strangers raised money to pay their mortgage so Patsy and Robb could be with Derian in the hospital until the day he died. They vowed to help families facing similar situations and founded Spare Key in 1997.

Holistic health center offers services for mind and body By SUE WEBBER Contributing Writer

As a two-time cancer survivor herself, Kathryn Cashman knows how important it is to have quality, convenient services available. “So many of us were looking for a place where the services would be all under one roof and would be coordinated for you,” Cashman said. “When you have cancer, you feel horrible, you have a gazillion appointments and you want to be well taken care of.” So Cashman, who has been a psychologist in the south metro area for 28 years, founded a center in 2011 that offers those integrated services. “I had great support, and I want other people to know what a difference it makes,” Cashman said. A licensed psychologist with more than 30 years of experience, Cashman is the CEO/ clinical director of Cashman Center in Burnsville, an integrative mental health center incorporating multiple modalities into each client’s individualized treatment. The center’s six-week “Living

Well with Cancer” program, be- and October. gun in 2014, is an integral part “Major benefits to people goof the center. Eight participants ing through chemotherapy and radiation are that it helps reduce pain, helps people sleep and eat better, and reduces anxiety and depression,” Cashman said. “Those are really huge benefits.” The sessions are led by Dr. Jamie Teunis, a doctoral-level mental health nurse practitioner, Cashman said. She incorporates spirituality, nutrition, and storytelling. “Dr. Teunis has a heart for people with cancer,” Cashman said. The group therapy gives participants ages 25-80 a chance to talk and share their experiences. “It’s great for senior citizens,” Cashman said. “They can take the bus; it’s covered by Medicare and they get great services.” Other therapies include acuKathryn Cashman, a licensed psypuncture, massage, Reiki and chologist, is the CEO/clinical director yoga. of Cashman Center in Burnsville, an “People have just reported integrative mental health center. such better health,” Cashman said. “One of our participants who have been referred by doc- said, ‘Western medicine saved tors, nurses or word of mouth, my life; Eastern medicine gave meet from 4 to 6:30 p.m. each me life.’” Tuesday for six weeks for group Another client said, “Attendtherapy, holistic therapy and ing the Living Well With Cancer small group sessions. Programs program was a breakthrough begin in February, May, August for me. This was an incredible

experience. Everything about this program was amazing. I especially appreciated being able to experience the variety of holistic services such as massage, acupuncture, BioMat, Reiki, personalized nutrition and aromatherapy. The group therapy helped me feel less alone and gave me more coping skills. Six weeks later and I still maintain the positive energy I received from this experience. I highly recommend the program.” The BioMat, according to its website, is “an FDA licensed medical device that combines state of the art Far Infrared light and Negative Ion technology with the healing power of Amethyst crystal.” . According to the internet, “Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by laying on hands, and is based on the idea that an unseen life force energy flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one’s life force energy is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.” The Cashman Center does

It’s time to speak out against elder abuse Who would want to hurt a sweet little old lady? Or steal from a harmless old curmudgeon? Apparently, a lot of people do. According to the Minnesota Elder Justice Center, one in ten adults over 60 is a victim of elder abuse. Worse yet, a recent study sponsored by Allianz Insurance indicates an even higher incidence. The research found nearly one-third of elderly Americans have been vic-

timized by some form of financial fraud alone. “It’s clear that elder financial abuse is becoming more commonplace, and, it appears to be greater than we thought in scope and impact,” explained Allianz CEO Walter White.To make matters worse, the perpetrators of financial exploitation of senior citizens are often family members, friends or other trusted adults who have an existing on-

going relationship with the victim. What kind of society robs from its own grandmas and grandpas? The truth is we don’t know the full extent of physical, mental, emotional or financial elder abuse, because masses of cases go unreported and undetected. Many victims remain in denial, are too embarrassed or ashamed to admit their vulnerability, are afraid of retalia-

individual plans and testing for each of its clients, Cashman said. “We integrate holistic pieces into the treatment plan,” he said. “We’re unique in that way.” Cashman grew up with a mentally handicapped sister and said, “I always wanted to help others.” A graduate of the College of St. Benedict and St. Mary’s University of Minnesota, Cashman now has a blended family that includes six grown children and eight grandchildren. Dr. Jamie Teunis previously was a psychiatric/mental health registered nurse at Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis, a registered nurse at the University of Minnesota Medical Center Fairview, and a hematology/oncology registered nurse at the University of Chicago Medicine. She has a doctorate of nursing, psychiatric/mental health nurse/nursing from the University of Minnesota and a bachelor of science degree in nursing from Winona State University.

The Well reaching people in Apple Valley United Methodist Church offers services at FIT Academy by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Rev. Nate Larson feels that God reaches people in many ways. “We know there are a lot of different styles of worship where people feel comfortable,� Larson said. “So (the Well) tries to offer services that are different. It gives people many opportunities to connect with God in the style they prefer.� The Well, a United Methodist Church based in Rosemount, added a 9:30 a.m. Sunday service at FIT Academy, 7200 147th St. W. in Apple Valley, earlier this month. While the location may not have a steeple, spires or stained glass, the charter school offers what the church needs for its modern services. The Well has operated a service out of the Marcus Theater in Rosemount since February when it became apparent it was outgrowing its location in Rosemount at 14770 Canada Ave. W. The screens and the chairs were convenient, but the space had its limitations, since it was a popular business particularly on Sundays. The Well couldn’t store anything on site and had to leave soon after the services. There’s not a United Methodist Church in Apple Valley and they found many of the attendees were making the drive from Apple Valley to Rosemount. “We don’t have to hustle out at FIT Academy,� Larson said. “We can use more space and store there. There’s space for small groups to meet and more time to interact.� They offer nursery care and have

It’s become a popular service for a growing market for a more casual experience in the suburbs. “We’re big enough where you can be anonymous if you want,� Larson said. “But we’re small enough you can connect with people.� And they have coffee and doughnuts, which Larson mentioned several times. “We provide really good hospitality,� Larson said. “It’s different than that stained-glass experience. We’re seeing folks who grew up with something more traditional but maybe they stopped going for whatever reason. We’re finding those folks come and check us out. It’s casual.� It’s modern enough that attend-

ees often text several questions during the services, which the pastor will answer live. “I’m one of the preachers there and I wear jeans,� Larson said. “It’s comfortable. Last week 70 percent of the people were wearing Vikings jerseys.� Services at the Rosemount campus at will continue with a 9 a.m. traditional service and 10:30 a.m. contemporary service on Sundays along with a 5:30 p.m. service Wednesdays. The 9:30 a.m. service in Apple Valley is considered a modern service with music one would find on Christian radio. For more information, visit www.thewellmn.church.

Curling is sport of choice for Columbia Heights man By SUE WEBBER Contributing Writer

John Gordon has enjoyed the sport of curling since 1977, when his exfather-in-law in Superior, Wisconsin, said he was looking for players. “He was a pretty accomplished player,� Gordon said. “I started playing recreationally then. Curling was a very popular game in Superior in the early 1970s. It’s still popular there. It’s a hotbed of curling.� His steady playing and love for the sport resulted in Gordon’s being a two-time Olympian. “When curling became an Olympic sport, there was a special tournament to qualify,� Gordon said. “You qualified by doing well in the state, district and regions.� “When I competed, nobody selected you,� he said. “You formed your own team and qualified or not. It was all decided on the ice.�

Now, a committee for U.S. Curling selects the athletes and puts the teams together, he said. “They evaluate you on your onand off-ice ability, compatibility and sports psychology,� Gordon said. He added that while more than 50 countries have curling, only 10 countries make the Olympics. “The host country gets in automatically,� he said. “The rest of the spots have to be earned.� Gordon was on the first Olympic curling team, the XVIII Winter Olympics (1998) in Nagano, Japan. He was one of 2,176 participants from 72 nations that year. The team captured fourth place. After his team qualified for Japan, the Minneapolis Star Tribune’s Valentine’s Day front cover showed a photo of Gordon getting a kiss from his wife. He also was a member of the XIX Winter Olym-

pics curling team in 2002, in Salt Lake City, one of 2,400 athletes from 78 nations. That team tied for sixth place. “Those are pretty moving experiences,� Gordon said. “They’re life-changing.� He said most of the curling team players came from Minnesota and Wisconsin, though some were from the East Coast (New York, Boston and Washington, D.C.). “When I played, Wisconsin had the most competitive curlers,� Gordon said. Gordon and his wife moved to Columbia Heights in 1995, built a house behind the high school, and raised four children. They now have four grandchildren. Curling is still part of their lives. Gordon is a member of the Four Seasons Curling Club at Fogerty Arena in Blaine. “It’s like a regular league that

meets weekly,â€? he said. “It’s been fun. Everywhere you go, everyone is friendly. It’s a lot like golf. No one roots for you to do badly. Everyone gets along.â€? Gordon’s wife, Denise, a lifelong Columbia Heights resident who has done some curling, too, is the team administrator, in charge of making the group’s travel and hotel arrangements for tournaments. A Wisconsin native, Gordon said he worked originally for 30 years as a printer and pressman. He’s also worked some shorter RIGHT: The front page of the Star Tribune on Valentine’s Day 1998 featured John Gordon getting a kiss from his wife, Denise, after the U.S. Olympic curling team qualiďŹ ed for the semi-ďŹ nals.

stints at Home Depot and Slumberland, he said. “I’m winding down now,� he said. “Four months ago we sold our house. We’re doing home care for my father-in-law, who had hip replacement surgery.� Although special shoes are needed for curling – plus a long-handled brush – Gordon says the rest can be as simple as wearing loose-fitting clothing and finding three other people who want to play. There are mixed leagues as well as all-men or allwomen teams, according to Gordon. “It’s a very active sport; you’re moving pretty good,� Gordon said. “It’s good cardio for the heart and lungs.� When he’s not involved with curling, Gordon says he does some working out and a lot of walking, and

h i h i he swims three times a week. “If you don’t stay active, you get rusty,� he said. “Rust never sleeps. It keeps moving.� Instructional sessions are available at Fogerty Arena for people who want to learn curling, Gordon said. “They have beginning leagues,� he said. WHAT IS CURLING? According to the internet, curling requires a long, narrow sheet of ice with a marked target area, called the house, at each end. Two teams, each with four players, take turns sliding 42-pound granite stones to the far side of the ice sheet. The objective is to get your stones closest to the center button of the house. The teams alternate throws toward the circular target. The object is to have more stones closer to the center than your op-

ponent after all 16 stones have been thrown. Participants wear curling shoes that are similar to ordinary athletic shoes except that they have dissimilar soles; the slider shoe has a Teflon sole and is worn by the thrower. The gripper is worn by the thrower on the back foot during delivery and is designed to grip the ice. Players also use curling brushes, usually with hollow tubes, that may have fabric, hog hair, or horsehair heads. According to the internet, the sport is popular all across Canada, in the northern U.S. states, in Scotland, in the Scandinavian countries, in the northern European countries and increasingly in the Far East. It can be played by people of all ages and skill levels with a minimum of equipment, according to the internet. Curling has been an official sport in the Winter Olympic Games since the 1998 Winter Olympics. It currently includes men’s and women’s tournaments. Mixed doubles have been added to the 2018 Olympic Games in PyeongChang County, South Korea.

Now the play is coming to the Sabes Jewish Community Center in St. Louis Park for a three-week run beginning Feb. 8. “I asked the director: ‘So can I say I replaced Jamie Farr on a national tour of “Tuesdays with Morrie?� ’ He said absolutely,� Angieri said. He said he prefers acting to other jobs, which he has spent most of his adult life doing. Now 57, Angieri grew up in New York City and graduated from Queens College, where he studied theater and dramatic literature. TRUSSELL, from 1A

His full-time pursuit of an acting career lasted “only a very short time when I first got out of college,� Angieri said. “I married and started having kids pretty quick. I have seven kids in all. It kind of makes it difficult to start a career in theater or films when you’ve got to feed seven kids.� A certified professional project manager, Angieri has worked as a construction manager for Best Buy and is now an IT project manager for British Telecom, which has an office in Oakdale. About a decade ago he dipped his toes back into theater, landing a role in a Northfield Arts Guild production of Arthur Miller’s “The Price.� “It just felt so good and I got such good feedback, I

started auditioning in Minneapolis,� said Angieri, who went on to roles with Park Square Theater, Nimbus Theatre, Theatre in the Round and The Playwrights’ Center. When Jamie Farr dropped out of “Tuesdays with Morrie� over a work visa problem that kept his Canadian director and co-star from entering the United States, Angieri got a call from the new director, Peter Moore, who has worked extensively in the Twin Cities and directed Angieri in past productions. Twenty-seven U.S. tour dates were scheduled, Angieri said. “Once the producer called all the venues, no one wanted to show it without Jamie Farr,� he said. “But they kept trying, and ended up with five locations that

We got standing ovations every night.� The book “Tuesdays with Morrie� chronicles sportswriter Mitch Albom’s reconnection and weekly visits with his former college professor, Morrie Schwartz, who is battling Lou Gehrig’s disease.

For all the life lessons it imparts, the play is laced with humor and “not maudlin or overly sappy,� Angieri said. “They talk about life, marriage, children, philosophy stuff, and they get even closer,� he said. “Obviously there’s no surprise at the end — Morrie dies — but it’s what happens on the way that’s important.� Angieri, who has an 8-year-old daughter with his second wife, Faith, as well as six grandchildren, still hopes to expand his acting career. “I can collect Social Security in five years,� he said. “My plan is to switch

Eagan Rotary Gala is set for Feb. 10 Dueling Pianos return for the Eagan Rotary 2018 Gala scheduled for Feb. 10 at the Eagan Community Center, 1501 Central Parkway. In 2017, funding requests from non-profits totaled $56,000 but only $26,000 was available for 24 community organizations. Significant commitment was also made to Artworks Eagan with a $50,000 donation to help purchase a building and a pledge of $20,000 yearly over the next 5 years. Rotary community

leaders are reaching out for corporate and individual sponsors due to the limit of 350 ticket sales for the event. “We raise money, so we can give it away,� said Stacy Bartelson with Edward Jones, Gala Chair for 2018. “With last year’s requests from non-profits exceeding our funds, the corporate sponsorships make all the difference.� The goal is $50,000 coming from corporate and individual sponsorships at levels of $2,500, $1,500, $750, and $500.

The tickets are $85 and include valet parking, dinner, with silent and live auction bidding. Since Gala tickets are quickly sold out, Bartelson sees the corporate and individual sponsorships and raffle ticket sales as key to reaching goals. This is the only fundraiser for Eagan Rotary. Corporate sponsorship and Gala tickets can be purchased online at www.eaganrotary. org. Raffle tickets with a grand prize of Samsung

The Eastview and Apple Valley boys swimming and diving teams dueled in a South Suburban Conference meet last Friday at Falcon Ridge Middle School. Among the top varsity performers were Eastview’s Evan Gray, who was runner-up to Apple Valley’s Max Larkin in the 100-yard freestyle, and Jakob Fossen of Apple Valley, who placed first in the 100 breaststroke. Eastview won 98-80 and improved to 5-0 in conference meets.

Two teams that have not been accustomed to battling for first place in South Suburban Conference boys hockey will do so Saturday. South Suburban leader Rosemount will take on Eastview at 2 p.m. Saturday at Apple Valley Sports Arena. Eastview could tie Rosemount for first place with a victory. Neither team has won the South Suburban Conference since it formed in 2010. Rosemount has never had a winning record in the league but is likely to do so this year, having won eight of its first nine games. Rosemount improved to 13-2 overall and 8-1 in conference play after shutting out Farmington 5-0 on Tuesday. Eastview is 7-2 in the league and 13-3 overall after surviving a Prior Lake rally and winning 7-6. Eastview had a four-goal lead in the first period and a five-goal lead in the second before holding off the Lakers’ rally. Rosemount goalie Ben Gar-

rity earned his second consecutive shutout Tuesday, making 25 saves against Farmington. Connor Kenefick scored two goals and had one assist for the Irish. Kenefick is the team’s scoring leader with 21 points (14 goals, seven assists). Nate Borden had two goals and three assists in Eastview’s victory over Prior Lake. Zach Anderson scored twice. Eastview won the first game between the teams 5-1 on Dec. 5 as Ryan Quaintance and Josh Eernisse scored twice each. It is Rosemount’s only loss in conference play.

points for the Panthers. Owen Blascziek had 14 points and Tyler Wahl added 11 for North, 11-2 overall. Lakeville South is 8-4 overall after defeating Burnsville 77-59 on Tuesday. Four Cougars players scored in double figures, led by Beau Bailey with 19 points. Shae Mitchell had 17, Cooper Jackson 15 and Riley Mahlman 13. This is the first meeting of the season between the Lakeville teams. In girls basketball, Lakeville North and Lakeville South are tied for second in the South Suburban at 5-2. Farmington also is 5-2 in league play; the leaders are chasing No. 1-ranked Eastview (7-0). Prior Lake upset Lakeville North 76-73 on Tuesday. North had 22 points from guard Lauren Jensen and 19 from guard Analiese Tschida. Taylor Brown and Ke James had 14 points each. Lakeville South beat Burnsville 71-60 on Tuesday as Anna Harvey scored 15 points and Bianca Biffert and Bailey Biffert scored 14 each.

The South Suburban Conference lead also will be at stake Friday when Lakeville North plays at Lakeville South at 7:15 p.m. Both teams are 5-0 in conference play after winning on Tuesday. Friday’s game is the second of a girls-boys doubleheader; the North and South girls basketball teams play at 5:30. Lakeville North’s boys defeated Prior Lake 75-70 on Tuesday after trailing by one point at halftime. Contact Mike Shaughnessy at mike. Junior guard Tommy Jensen had 25 shaughnessy@ecm-inc.com.

of golf’s Ryder Cup, pits a North American team (The U.S. and Canada) against a team representing the rest of the world. North American won this year’s event 30.5-30 on a tiebreaker. The U.S. Olympic curlers are competing in the Canadian Open this week. On Jan. 30, they leave for training in Japan. They arrive in the athlete village in South Korea on Feb. 4. Canada is the reigning women’s Olympic team champion, with Sweden winning the silver medals in 2014 and Great Britain taking bronze. Curling has been part of the Winter Olympics since 1992. Peterson is a two-time U.S. junior national champion and was on the firstplace team at the 2012 U.S. nationals. She has competed in the Women’s World Championship four times. She and Polo were bronze medalists in the 2016 World Mixed Doubles. Peterson, an Eagan High School graduate, did all that while studying at the University of Minnesota and beginning a career as a pharmacist. “I’ve gone back to parttime,” she said. “I was gone 80 days last year for tournaments, and I don’t have that much vacation time. My employer has been really good about letting me go to tournaments.” Peterson’s sister Tara is a three-time U.S. Junior champion and 2014 national champion. Tara Peterson did not attempt to qualify for the Olympics this year because she is completing dental school. Tabitha Peterson is in her third year as a vice skip. She described that position as “kind of the go-between” between Roth, who will shoot from the opposite end of the rink, and Geving and Hamilton, whose sweeping maneuvers stones into position. Matches can last three hours or more. Strategy changes constantly and the mental demands are great. USA Curling has made greater use of sports psychologists, and Peterson said she believes they have helped. After starting in the sport at age 10, Peterson said she can’t imagine not curling. But competing at the national and international levels is a different proposition. “It’s truly a lifetime sport,” she said. “At the highest level, right around 40 is there age where you start to think, ‘OK, I might be done with this.’ But I can see myself trying for the Olympics again in 2022 because there’s nothing like representing your country.”

Almost 20 years ago, the Peterson family thought a trip to the St. Paul Curling Club would be something fun they could do together. It still is, but when they go to a curling rink next month it’ll be halfway around the world. They will gather in Pyeongchang, South Korea, to watch Tabitha Peterson try to help the U.S. win its first Winter Olympic women’s curling medal. Tabitha Peterson, an Eagan native, is vice skip of the U.S. team. The opening ceremony is Feb. 9; women’s curling team competition runs Feb. 14 through Feb. 25. It’s the first Olympic trip for Peterson, 28, who has been competing internationally since 2006 and was a bronze medalist at the World Junior Championships in 2010. “I think it’s going to be 14 (family members and friends) going over there,” Peterson said. “I think we’ll have one day when all of the team members can get together with their families.” Nina Roth of McFarland, Wisconsin, is skip of the U.S. women’s team, which won a tense bestof-three duel against the Jamie Sinclair team at the U.S. Olympic Trials in November in Omaha, Nebraska. Team Roth won 7-6 in the deciding game. Aileen Geving of Duluth and Becca Hamilton of McFarland, Wisconsin, also are on Team Roth, and Cory Christensen of Duluth is the alternate. Team Roth finished fifth at the 2017 Women’s World Championship, and Peterson said the team members believe an Olympic medal is realistic. “We’ve beaten all the top teams in the world except one,” Peterson said. After the 2014 Winter Olympics, USA Curling changed how it developed teams. The national organization took responsibility for assembling teams rather than leaving it up to the athletes. Peterson had three different teammates in the 2014 U.S. Olympic Trials. “The men’s and women’s teams have been higher in the world rankings since USA Curling did this four years ago,” Peterson said. “We’re currently ranked 11th in the world and Jamie (Sinclair) is 15th. Four years ago we were 30th or lower.” Since the women’s trials, Peterson has competed in teammate Joe Polo in the U.S. Olympic Mixed Doubles Curling Trials (won by Becca and Matt Hamilton) and competed in the Continental Cup of Curling in London, Ontar- Contact Mike Shaughnessy io.

DEBATE, from 1A egory, she said she’s had a better understanding of legislative bodies and lobbying. She said she went into the state tournament with clear strategies. “I couldn’t let my nerves control me, and I can’t worry about what others think about me,� she said. She said she hadn’t seen many of her opponents in competition before, so she didn’t know their strengths and weaknesses. Going in without as much information about the other competitors, however, allowed her to focus on performing her best. Flowers said she spends time every day researching in preparation for competitions. She breaks up the work so it doesn’t get overwhelming. When preparing for a tournament, she likes to be alone. She listens to music and reviews her research so when it is time to speak her arguments are fresh in her mind. In preparation for the state tournament, Ross Eichele, her coach, helped Flowers simulate rounds and think through the many possible arguments or situations that could arise. He said he saw Flowers improve significantly throughout her junior year, and she hit the ground running this year with her eyes set on a successful season. “In debate, you have to do a lot of work just to be average. Students get this hunger in their eyes to be better,� he said. “They work hard to develop skills because they want to be better.� Flowers plans to study African American studies at the University of Minnesota. She hopes to be a professor of African American studies one day. Through debate, she’s spent time arguing for different pieces of legislation, and she said the experience has shown her that each bill affects different groups

tica Flowers earned the state champion title in Congressional Debate. Senior Emma Zellmer won fifth place in the same format. Also from Eagan, seniors Nibraas Khan and Hunter Weber were state finalists in Public Forum, and juniors Ayush Patel and Jason Scheller were state quarterfinalists. Both teams went 4-2 in preliminary rounds of competition. Ayush and Jason lost their quarterfinals round to St. Paul Academy on a 2-1 decision. Nibraas and Hunter won their quarterfinals round over the team from Apple Valley on a 3-0 decision and lost their semifinals round to The Blake School team on a 3-2 decision. Seniors Aaron Lutz and Elizabeth Sabel, from Eagan as well, were state quarterfinalists in Policy Debate. They lost their quarterfinals round on a 3-0 decision to the team from Wayzata High School. Eastview High School sent Yasmin Afifi and Harika Thota to state in Public Forum. Eastview’s biggest success, however, came at the MSHSL Classic Debate State Festival, Dec. 1-2 at South St. Paul High School. Seniors Ross Abram and Namita Nair won the tournament. They did not compete at the state tournament this weekend because Classic Debate does not have a qualifying tournament. From Apple Valley High School, senior Kenan Anderson won the state title in Lincoln-Douglas debate, and senior Cori Roberts became a state quarterfinalist in the same category. Also from Apple Valley, senior Zachary Hayes and junior Abigail Brachio were state quarterfinalists in Public Forum also advanced to the quarterfinal round.

DEVELOP, from 1A similar to those under the demolition policy. No funding for either program is in the 2018 budget, so nothing will happen until at least 2019, Kealey said. The council has yet to develop a funding plan. Council members Cara Schulz and Bill Coughlin voted against both measures, objecting to the use of property taxes to fund grants to businesses. Voting in favor were Mayor Elizabeth Kautz and council members Kealey LEAK, from 1A tor Russ Matthys said the storm sewer system was impacted during the spill, but it appears the gasoline stayed there. “Most of the flow went into existing storm ponds,� Matthys said. “There appears to be no impact to Thomas Lake.� Scott said the situation was “not uncommon,� but the extent was. “We get natural gas

and Dan Gustafson. “It is taking money from homeowners when we have raised property taxes a few times now, again, and then giving that to business,� said Schulz, who called for a tax freeze and voted against the 2018 budget and levy in December. “However, I do understand the aim of trying to expand the tax base so that could, in turn, lessen the burden on taxpayers.� The Economic Development Commission, an advisory group, recommends putting a hefty $500,000 a year into the

programs. The city could raise its Economic Development Authority levy, use funds from the sale of city property and raise permit fees, the commission suggested. The thought of raising the EDA levy by up to $500,000 “caused me some heartburn,� said Coughlin, who voted for the general 2018 levy but voted against the much smaller EDA portion because it included an extra $75,000 that was added during budget talks. Kealey said the city needs a “master plan� for

economic development it can sell to the business community. Then the discussion can turn to funding, he said. “We will bring back funding options to you later,â€? said Skip Nienhaus, economic development coordinator. The council voted unanimously to amend three existing policies. Changes include: • Allowing the city to buy property “to ensure development that is the highest and best use of the property,â€? the staff report said. Staff would be

allowed to contact landowners about selling their property and enter negotiations. The program is unfunded. • Allowing the use of tax-increment financing and tax abatement in the Burnsville Center retail area. • Allowing city staff to approach property owners about redevelopment. • Allowing TIF and tax abatement to be used for rental housing property. Areas of Burnsville are targeted for development and redevelpoment in the

city’s new comprehensive plan, Mayor Elizabeth Kautz said. They are the Heart of the City, where some vacant land remains; the Burnsville Center retail area; the 1,700-acre Minnesota River Quadrant west of Interstate 35W and north of Highway 13; and the industrial area around Cliff Road and 12th Avenue, Kautz said.

lines that are occasionally hit during construction,� Scott said. Streets and businesses were closed while the United States Environmental Protection Agency, Minnesota Office of Pipeline Safety and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency along with city officials and representatives from Magellan were on site during cleanup. As of Tuesday, it appears to be back to nor-

mal. Eagan Police Chief Jim McDonald said 3,700 gallons of liquid, both gasoline and water, were removed along with 67 roll-offs of dirt. Matthys said the storm sewer system was cleaned as well. McDonald said Magellan will submit a longterm monitoring plan to be signed off by the city and the PCA, which is expected by the end of the

week. “There’s still some contaminated soil near where the breach was and part of the plan will have to be how to get that out of there,� McDonald said. The Minnesota Office of Pipeline Safety is investigating the incident. It’s not the responsibility of the police department, but it could take months or years, McDonald said. The company drilling at the time was STS En-

terprises, according to the Eagan Police Department. The city will submit cost incurred by the leak to Magellan for future reimbursement. McDonald said they’ve been asked to keep track of time and equipment. “It was an accident,� Scott said. “We’d love to eliminate every accident in our community but that’s not going to happen. What we can do is continue to be prepared.�

Scott said the incident tested the city’s emergency response plan, which he said was successful. Mayor Mike Maguire agreed. “It’s good to see the emergency plan work, and quite frankly, work quite efficiently, I might say,� Maguire said.

Burnhaven Library events set in coming weeks Burnhaven Library, 1101 W. County Road 42, Burnsville, has planned the following activities. For more information, call 952-8910300.

MYHRA, from 1A she reactivated her CPA license three years ago. In 2012 and 2013, Myhra was the chief House author of legislation aimed at expanding disclosure of information behind publicemployee buyout deals. The legislation was a response to local uproar over Tania Chance, a Burnsville-EaganSavage School District administrator who was paid nearly $255,000 in a settlement agreement under which she left the district with 18 months left on her contract. The legislation broadened the range of local government management officials

to whom disclosure requirements apply for agreements involving more than $10,000 of public money. “I think it really has improved transparency,� Myhra said. “What it didn’t do is it didn’t cover teachers. We didn’t go to that level.� Myhra said her experience authoring the legislation and her professional background prepare her to make needed reforms in the auditor’s office. “I saw when I was carrying that bill and working on that legislation how much the public wants to know,� she said. “There’s a hunger for clear understanding of how funds are being used. I think that dovetails really

well into serving in this position of state auditor.� Myhra said she supports the choice of some counties to hire private accountants to do their audits rather than the auditor’s office. A 2015 law allowed the change. DFL State Auditor Rebecca Otto is fighting the law in the Minnesota Supreme Court, saying that giving counties the option of going elsewhere deprives her office of crucial revenue. “My view,� Myhra said, “is what’s paramount is the information that can be given to the public. If a county wants to hire a public accounting form, I think that would be good. Competition is good.�
