said they were undecided since the property is surrounded by office buildings. The city would need to change the zoning from major office to retail commercial. The Eagan City Council and Metropolitan Council would need to review and approve the comprehensive guide plan amendment since it’s a zoning change. The site was zoned for a business park in 2008, but the approved office development has never been constructed and the site has remained vacant. Andy McIntosh, vice president of development with McGough, the company that put together the property, said they have spent several years marketing the space for office. He said there are some topography challenges with the site and the market for new space has been tight. “We view the partnership with Costco as a great solution and a stronger alternative for any other uses in the future,� McIntosh said.

Revisiting an idea first floated 12 years ago, a majority of Burnsville City Council members agreed Monday to consider a local option sales tax. Council Member Dan Gustafson proposed the tax as a way to pay for unfunded development incentives the council approved Jan. 16. The tax would replace

the city’s annual Economic Development Authority levy. The local sales tax would be paid by everyone buying goods in Burnsville (except purchasers of vehicles, which are exempted by state law), which Gustafson said would bring property tax relief to homeowners. A hypothetical .25 percent sales tax would raise $2.8 million annually. By contrast, the Economic Development Authority levy is $717,500 this year and doesn’t include funds See TAX, 9A

Revisiting a debate over regulating Burnsville’s hotels, City Council members on Monday singled out the Norwood Inn and Suites as the problem child among the city’s nine lodging properties. They described the 80room hotel west of Interstate 35W and south of Burnsville Parkway as a magnet for prostitution and drug dealing. Police Chief Eric Gieseke said the property commands an inordinate amount of

finding criminal suspects. Mayor Elizabeth Kautz said guests have complained in online reviews of bedbugs and unclean bedding and towels. Officials are wondering if there’s more they can do besides continue heavy police patrol and conduct the occasional fire-safety inspection. “It’s not about bedbugs or fresh towels — it’s worse than that,� Council Member Dan Kealey said. “It’s law enforcement having to go in because of prostitution and drug deals. What, if any tools can we put in place to curb that so we

Caucuses point to midterm election

Facility open to Vikings, public in spring

At a time when political division seems to be at its height in America, there’s something liberal and conservative activists can agree on: Precinct caucuses are an important part of the political process. For any political movement to gain traction, it depends on people meeting with others in their own community to talk about issues and forward their thoughts to the next level. That’s how the DFL and Republican parties’ platforms are determined, and it all starts with precinct caucuses. “The issues that people talk about will naturally vary across the state, and even across communities, but the issues will be determined by the caucus attendees,� said Nancy Stroessner, Senate District 57 DFL chairperson. “Caucuses also offer opportunity to get involved in the political process,� said Senate District

While the Minnesota Vikings were constructing a new campus in northeastern Eagan, two new Twin Cities Orthopedics facilities were also being built. One is similar to other offices in the metro, but the other plans to be a destination for sports medicine and rehabilitation. It’s all part of collective plan of Twin Cities Orthopedics and the Minnesota Vikings. “We strongly believe from the first day we met, we wanted to create an environment here in the Twin Cites that would become the epicenter of sports, technology, community, people, football, energy, great memories,� Vikings COO Kevin Warren said last fall during a

media tour of the facilities. The main three-story, 76,000-square-foot building will house physical therapy, an orthopedic clinic, urgent care, surgery and outpatient services, which is similar to several other Twin Cities Orthopedics offices throughout the metro. A 22,000-square-foot sports medicine center will offer brain health, vision/ reaction training, muscle/ tendon recovery services, sport psychology and regenerative medicine. “It’s highly unique to our company as well as to the entire region in my opinion,� said Cris Bailey, Twin Cities Orthopedics See CENTER, 11A

Students run the show at Echo Park Second annual Leadership Day a success for some of District 196’s youngest students

by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Students at Echo Park Elementary School of Leadership, Engineering and Technology took over the Burnsville school Thursday, Jan. 18. Assuming leadership roles is nothing new for Echo Park students, but they stepped up their game last week to host the second annual Leadership Day. Parents, guardians, community members and other educators from the district arrived just before 10 a.m. As they walked into the building, they were greeted by a student and directed to the registration table. A group of students assisted the attendees in creating name tags. They handed their guests a folder of information, and then sent them with a student usher who guided them into the gymnasium. In the entrance to the gym, another group of students greeted the attendees and directed them toward the perimeter of the room where more students stood in front of tri-fold boards describing different leadership opportunities at District 196’s Echo Park. This well-oiled machine of confident student-leaders took initiative throughout the morning to make sure their event ran smoothly. The formal assembly began just after 10:15 a.m. The Penguin Choir opened the program with “Love Make the World Go Round,� a song recorded by Jennifer Lopez and Lin-Manuel Miranda. The lyrics spoke of being a positive change — of being a leader — in the face of fear and hate. “I’m wide awake, ready to create everything I’ve imagined, hearts without any hate,� they sang. “The Penguin Choir, comprised of third- to fifth-grade students was

amazing,� said Echo Park Assistant Administrator Kim Mueske after the assembly. “It was a great representation of our student body and demonstrated the dedication our student leaders have to take responsibility and show up before school each week to practice.� The choir shuffled off the stage just as the lights went down and a video, titled “I Am,� began to play. In the video, Echo Park students answered interview questions that illustrated the difference and diversity in the student body. Ultimately, the video united the students by creating a space for them to claim their Echo Park identity. “I am Yoga� was a crowd favorite. Kindergarten students sang the song, by Emily Arrow, about finding inner peace and using that to stand tall and confident, and to stand up for each other. They displayed some of their favorite yoga moves to show that being a leader is a whole-body effort. “When to world spins, spins, my heart opens again,� they sang. First-graders showed the audience how they can remember the “7 Habits of Highly Effective People� — the foundation of the Leader in Me curriculum. Fourthgraders performed a leadership poem, and preschoolers worked with their fourth-grade buddies to sing about two of the 7 Habits: “be proactive� and “put first things first.� Following the assembly, pairs of students led tours around their school. Attendees had the opportunity to see spaces where Echo Park students learn. At each stop on the tour, the student-guides oriented their guests to the space, described what kind of work students do there and explained how one of the 7 Habits best relates to the learning they do in that space.

Echo Park Principal Pam Haldeman stands with the masters of ceremony, Brielle and Daneila, to thank the audience for coming to the program. “We work so hard to provide opportunities for our students to have dialogue between each other, and now they had the opportunity to practice speaking and listening with adults,� Mueske said. Magnet TOSA (Teacher on Special Assignment) Rebecca Haehnel said Echo Park hosts a Leadership Day each year in connection with the school’s leadership theme to give students a chance to showcase the leadership skills they are working on at school. “We had a great turnout of various community groups and students that were very excited to showcase their leadership and learning,� she said. At the event, community members have an opportunity to see learning and leadership in action. Students and staff also thank their community partners by inviting them to see the work they’ve done. Haehnel said the day also creates an important opportunity for the students to demonstrate

actions with community members.� The students were able to evaluate how attendees responded to their leadership, and after the program they had opportunities to think about what went well and what skills they want to continue developing. “It is a time that they get feedback on how to improve these skills and are able to reflect on how to improve,� she said. “Echo Park hosts events like Leadership Day to give student authentic ways to practice leadership.� Mueske said events like Leadership Day help the students put their skills into practice. “It is important for our students to have the opportunity to practice the principles of personal and interpersonal effectiveness, such as responsibility, respect, communication and initiative. Currently, these are some of the 21st century skills employers are looking for when hiring,� she said. “While only in elementary school, our students are learning and embracing these skills more than ever during their academic day.� Leadership Day is one of many opportunities at Echo Park Elementary for students to demonstrate their leadership abilities. The hope, Mueske said, is that experiences like this will equip the students to be leaders for years to come. “As our students move on to middle school, high school and into our community, our hope is others recognize Echo Park students as strong leaders, who can think critically, work well with others, communicate their ideas and take responsibility and initiative,� she said.

Apple Valley girl named MDA ambassador 11-year old raises awareness for muscular diseases and funds for research

by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lots of needles — that’s what Abby Loch remembers about her long journey to being diagnosed as a manifesting carrier of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Loch was 9 years her old when her family finally learned the answer to the medical mystery that they’d been investigating since she was 3. Now, she’s giving back. For the next year, the 11-year old from Apple Valley will attend and help organize local events that will increase awareness and sponsor research for the muscular diseases. “She’s bubbly and outgoing and tells all kinds of great stories,� said MDA family care specialist Christina Nielsen. “She’s just a wonderful girl.� Loch’s bright personality and her passion for helping other people affected by similar diseases have earned her the position of Minnesota state ambassador for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Nielsen said Loch’s story makes her a great ambassador for the program because she will be able to relate to and inspire other patients who have also gone through a difficult diagnosis journey. Loch’s case is rare. Her parents spent years bringing her from one doctor to another. As a manifesting carrier of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, her

It is linked to the X-chromo-

some, and because girls have two X-chromosomes, usually one can fill in the gaps if the other is affected. “We wanted to choose her because she has a very unique story to tell,� Nielsen said. “Though they walk in different shoes and have different diagnoses, they all have one thing in common — a struggle with their muscles.� Loch’s mother, Melissa, said that her daughter’s fight with her muscular disease is a daily battle. “Because they don’t know which symptoms will present themselves, we are always checking her markers to see where they are at because we never know what to be looking for next,� she said. Although diagnosis is an important part of her story, Abby’s main message is more focused on the present. She wants to let others know that being different isn’t a bad thing. Physically, Abby looks like any other girl her age. Most of the impacts of her disease impact her cognitive, respiratory and muscular functions. “I want to show kids why we have to fight for our disease,� Loch said. “I want to show them what the disease is. Just because we are different doesn’t mean it’s OK to be picked on.� Surviving fifth grade can be hard for any student, but it’s been especially difficult for this Diamond Path Elementary student.

Burnsville to build new archery range In 2016, the city of Burnsville was approached by representatives from Dodge of Burnsville requesting to purchase cityowned land at 12151 Pleasant Ave. The land, which abuts the Dodge dealership, is currently home to the city’s public archery range. After several months of study, the City Council approved the land sale to Dodge of Burnsville during its Nov. 6, 2017, meeting. Details of the sale include: • A purchase price of $370,000 (current appraised value), which will be used toward construction of a new archery range

on Zenith Avenue near the Rudy Kraemer Nature Preserve. • Dodge of Burnsville will contribute up to an additional $14,000 toward the construction, which is estimated at $383,000. The city’s current archery range will close to the public on June 30, 2018. Construction on the new range will begin this summer, and is anticipated to be complete by August. Part of the feasibility study for a new archery range included identifying a safe and suitable site. The site on Zenith Avenue near Rudy Kraemer Nature

Preserve met all of the following criteria: at least two acres of land dedicated to the range; the ability to create a berm or install safety netting; minimal impact to other nearby park amenities; the ability to provide parking for 10 to 12 vehicles. More information on the new archery range is expected to be available later this year. Questions on the project can be directed to Burnsville Parks, Recreation and Facilities Director Garrett Beck at garrett. beck@burnsvillemn.gov or 952-895-4516.

sign up for one group when its leaders decided Loch wouldn’t be able to keep up with the others. Loch used to participate in dance and swimming, but has also struggled to find a place where she is accepted in those realms. Instead, she’s found activities where she can more fully engage at her level, such as singing with the Allegro Choral Academy. “Our biggest goal is making sure Abby wakes up happy Abby and making sure she goes to bed at night happy Abby,� Melissa Loch said. “We will make sure that is done every day.� She also attends a week of MDA Camp every year, and she’ll return for her week-away this summer. This free program allows her to spend time doing activities with other kids fighting muscular diseases. “We have so much fun there. Everything is the best part,� Abby said. “Everyone is nice.� Her camp friends call themselves the “Galaxy Girls,� and they stay connected throughout the year to offer each other support through friendship. “She came home and is telling us it is the one place she can go where no one seems to pick up on the differences,� Melissa said. “Everybody there is kind and respectful and is nice. They look past whatever disabilities they may have.� Abby has gained a reputation at camp for her leadership abilities. She enjoys giving camp tours to visitors.

“Her first experience with MDA was through the summer camp program. She jumped right in and made a bunch of friends,� Nielson said. “Right away we noticed her wonderful ability to be outgoing and talk to anyone. More than anything, she is so effervescent, outgoing, so courageous.� Melissa also saw how camp transformed her daughter. “It is so fun to see the growth in her in one week,� Melissa said. “The confidence they build in these kids in a week is amazing.� When asked what her favorite things to do are, Abby replied: “Being happy.� She said she shows it by dancing, singing and coloring. She always tries to have a smile on her face. As an MDA ambassador, she’ll help with events such as Swim to Win for MD and the Muscle Walk. She’ll also be promoting the MDA Shamrocks program, and helping organize a “Fill the Boot� fundraiser with local firefighters.

Burnsville firm to give $1,000 bonuses Data Sales Co. credits tax cuts

by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A longtime Burnsville company announced Monday it will celebrate federal tax cuts by giving a $1,000 bonus to each of its more than 80 employees. Data Sales Co. said it will benefit from a cut in the corporate tax rate from 35 to 21 percent. The rate cut is part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed by Republican majorities in Congress and signed in December by President Trump. “With the majority of our 80-plus-strong workforce here in Burnsville, I’m pleased that the benefits of tax reform will be felt at home,� Data Sales CEO and Burnsville resident Peter Breckner said in a news release. Minnesota’s 2nd District congressman, Republican Jason Lewis, had planned to visit Data Sales for the announcement but was kept in Washington,

D..C., by last weekend’s government shutdown, his office said. Breckner thanked Lewis “for his consistent advocacy of tax reform and seeing it through to becoming law.� Among their criticisms, Democrats have blasted the tax reform for granting too much relief in the corporate rate and not enough in the income brackets of average workers. Critics said the business cuts “wouldn’t help the hardworking middleclass families that work for these businesses,� Lewis said in a Jan. 22 message to constituents. “Thankfully, it’s actually the case that making American businesses more competitive is very good for our families.� “Across the country,� he said, “employers have responded to tax reform by giving a combined total of over $1 billion in bonuses to their employees over

the past month. That’s over 1 million Americans with approximately $1,000 more in their pocket today!� Data Sales said it will award the bonuses to all employees — full time and part time, hourly and salaried, commission and noncommision. “We believe this tax reform will be good for Data Sales, spur economic growth, continue to grow jobs and keep unemployment at an all-time low,� the company said. Founded in 1973, Data Sales is a full-service lessor of information technology equipment. It claims more than $2.5 billion in lease originations over its history. The company is headquartered at 3450 W. Burnsville Parkway. Contact John Gessner at john.gessner@ecm-inc.com or 952-846-2031.

Opinion ‘Wonder’ is best family movie in years by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

If I had the power to give an award for “the best, funniest, most inspiring family movie of the year,” there’s no question which one I’d give it to: “Wonder.” I don’t have that ability. But I hope I can convince you that this is one of the best movies in many years to take children and grandchildren to see. “Wonder” is first and foremost about a fifth-grader named Auggie, whose face is different. More than 20 surgeries have given him the ability to breathe, see, eat and hear without a hearing aid. But Auggie’s face is different than everyone else in the school. That leads to frequent challenges with other kids. The school principal and teachers

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Joe Nathan try hard be supportive to help Auggie “fit in.” The educators are skillful and supportive. However, as one person says to Auggie, “You can’t blend in when you were born to stand out.” Early in the movie, Daveed Diggs, who is superb as one of Auggie’s teachers, asks him and other students in the class a critical question: “Who is it that I aspire to be?” The teacher explains, “That is the question we should be asking ourselves all the time.”

Mixing humor, frustration and courage, “Wonder” shows how Auggie, other students, his mother, father and sister answer that question. The movie gently encourages each of us to think about this. There are several surprises along the way. This is not a completely predictable movie, which is one of its strengths. Julia Roberts, as Auggie’s mother, and Owen Wilson, as his father, are terrific. I think Roberts should have been nominated and probably won Best Actress awards. Jacob Tremblay gives a complex, sometimes heart-rending, complicated and exhilarating performance as Auggie. Izabela Vidovic is wonderful displaying the supportive but complex reactions Auggie’s teenage sister has to the situation. There are many other excellent performances.

You can see a trailer for the movie here: http://bit.ly/2qWctYx. “Wonder” is based on a book with the same name by R.J. Palacio. According to Amazon, the book was a New York Times No. 1 bestseller. I can see why. Though the Oscars and other major award programs ignored “Wonder,” it has been hugely popular among moviegoers. “Wonder” is one of the best family movies in many years. It is art at its best, entertaining and helping us be better people. Joe Nathan, formerly a Minnesota public school teacher, administrator and PTA president, directs the Center for School Change.

Dog owners should not use parks as off-leash areas by James Hughes SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Guest Columnist

I have been walking around Jensen Lake at Lebanon Hills Regional Park with my dog for years and need to speak up about the lack of dog owners following the park dog rules. The rules are simple but about one-quarter of the owners don’t get them or don’t think they pertain to them. Rule 1: All dogs must be on a leash. Simple enough but one out of four dogs are not. What this does to a dog that is on a leash is that it puts them in a very vulnerable position, and the leashed dog knows it. The leashed dog will become very defensive when the unleashed dog comes charging up into their face. My dog has been attacked three times in the last two weeks by

these so-called, under-control trained dogs. Because of this, my trained dog that is on a leash has become very defensive to every dog he now meets on this trail. This is not a dog park. If you want to be off leash go to Doggie Day Care in Apple Valley or an off-leash dog park. This is a wildlife area that deer, coyotes, rabbits, birds, children, adults like to enjoy and they don’t want to or have to meet and greet your so-called, undercontrol unleashed dog. Rule 2: Pick up after your dog. There are piles and piles of dog poop everywhere, even in the dead center of

the walking trail. The No. 1 cause of pollution in our ponds and lakes are pet wastes runoff. And people don’t like stepping in it, walking around it, or look at it on their walk. Pick it up, it is the dog owner’s responsibility. Rule 3: Greeting (This is a dog trainer’s rule, not Dakota Parks). My dog does not have to socialize and greet every dog it meets on the trail. Every dog class (and there were many) I have taken my dogs to over the years does not allow the dogs to socialize while in class unless it is puppy socializing class. As a number of trainers had said: Do you hug or shake hands with every stranger you meet on the trail? Then why would you expect or force your dog to? And many of these dogs including those on leash are not well trained and the last thing the owner wants is for me to

have my dog in their dogs space. Again, greeting and socializing is why I take my dog to Doggie Day Care and dog parks. These are places where all dogs are unleashed and on even ground and where all people there like dogs. The majority of people walking around Jensen do not have dogs. Most of these people do not want to meet my dog, have him jump on them or their children or step in their poop. If they do want to meet my trained, on-leash dog, they will ask. So I will put it as simple as possible: Dog owners need to realize it’s not all about them, follow the park rules so all people can enjoy this beautiful park.

Letters Correction Last week’s column by Peggy Bakken should have stated that a lawsuit that could compel Sen. Michelle Fischbach to assume the lieutenant governor’s office has been initiated by a Democratic resident in her senate district, not Democratic leaders as was stated in the column. The newspaper regrets the error.

Raise tobaccobuying age to 21 To the editor: I am glad ECM Publishers took a bold stand in its editorial that supports raising the tobacco sale age to 21 (Jan. 9 ECM Editorial: “Increase legal age to buy tobacco products to 21”). As a family practice physician for 34 years and having raised a teenager, I can attest to the scientific fact that the brain is not fully formed until the early 20s. That translates into vulnerability to toxic influences such as drugs, alcohol and tobacco. Tobacco is highly addictive for young people. According to research done by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota, smoking causes the deaths of 6,312 Minnesota residents every year. We know that smoking is a significant cause of cancers (even those distant from the lungs such as bladder cancer), heart disease, stroke and chronic lung disease such as emphy-

sema. And smoking costs Minnesota more than $7 billion every year: $3.19 billion in excess health care costs and $4.3 billion in lost productivity. Recent research by ClearWay Minnesota found that by raising the legal sale age for tobacco to 21, we could keep 30,000 Minnesota youths from starting to smoke. I support legislation to raise the tobacco sales age 21 and urge state Rep. Anna Wills, R-Rosemount, and Sen. Greg Clausen, DFL-Apple Valley, to get on board with this lifesaving policy that is gaining momentum around the country and here in Minnesota. By raising the tobacco age from 18 to 21, we can limit young people’s access to tobacco products and reduce the chances of young people ever getting hooked.

the wealthy pay the most taxes, who else would be eligible for tax cuts? Some very good Americans also object to tax cuts for corporations. Yet, everyone knows all business costs are passed on to us, the consumers. This makes cutting taxes to corporations a wise move for consumers and also allows them to compete with foreign companies. There are persons who constantly complain of the pernicious influence of wealth. They cry out loudly against all corporations in which capitalists become united in order to produce important and beneficial results. They would choke the foundation of industry and dry all streams, even those that serve them best. A country cannot be taxed into wealth. And tax cuts have real advantages unless someone else appears to benefit more. I do believe Dr. CONSTANCE ERD- that Lewis’ idea that the MANN tax cuts are good for the Rosemount economy is right on target!

Right on target To the editor: I remain completely baffled! Apparently there are some folks in our 2nd Congressional District upset with the recently passed budget bill. This really smacks of envy or at least a bit of sophistry. Some good citizens complain that the new tax reform law will provide tax cuts for the rich and that U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis should not have supported it. Since the bottom 43 percent of wage earners do not pay income taxes and

ment of wanting our team to rise up and win. So why am I writing my opinion? A couple of things struck me Monday morning as I read the newspaper and thought about this whole situation. First was how beer was thrown on Vikings fans in Philadelphia before the game and after the tragic loss to the Eagles. This seemed like such a demeaning action, and I can only imagine how that felt. Another is pondering how we as Minnesotans will respond to this defeat as visitors stream into our city for the upcoming events and eventual game Feb. 4. I believe we have a choice here, and my hope is for this: That we would, in spite of the heart-breaking loss, be the best hosts that we can be. That we would welcome everyone coming to our city, and that we would be gracious and kind. That we would be the better person and not respond to any rudeness or arrogance with the same, but show care and love. My hope is that our city would be a place where there is peace and that we would, in spite of this loss, be able to find joy in the celebration of the two teams who have earned a place to compete on game day. Wouldn’t it be cool if people left here saying: “There is something different about those people in Minnesota and I like it.” Let’s demonstrate to them what a true, genuine “Minnesota nice” really looks like.

U.S. government shutdown To the editor: The Republicans control both the House and the Senate. The president is a Republican. The Re-

To close digital divide, it must be identified To the editor: Despite the potential for broadband to modernize the economy in rural America, access and availability continue to lag. The President Donald Trump’s recent executive order affirmed this limitation and the need to commit resources to close rural America’s digital divide. Yet, the ability to pinpoint where service is and is not available is fundamental to closing the digital divide in rural areas. Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, funding was allocated to establish a comprehensive nationwide map of existing broadband capability and availability. Funding for this program ended in 2014. Some states, like Minnesota, have adopted legislation or maintained this degree of regulation which require internet service providers to provide access and speed availability data at a granular level. However, reporting standards vary and often allow for telecommunication services to be reported at the census block level. In many rural areas, census blocks span entire counties, leaving room for error in reporting service availability. The accuracy of data collected from internet service providers is an important tool used to determine where broadband access is sufficient and where it can be improved. This data is invaluable to state agencies and local entities to identify where public resources should be invested. For the 23 million rural Americans who do not

have broadband speed access, census block data is not sufficient to recognize and address the broadband gap. As federal and state governments seek to close rural America’s digital divide, it is imperative that gap is closed at the granular level, where it exists. JORDAN RASMUSSEN Center for Rural Affairs

Thanks to law enforcement To the editor: On Jan. 10, Dakota County Technical College went through what could have become a college’s worst nightmare – the potential of an active shooter on campus. Thinking one of our students had observed a person with a gun on campus, a student did the right thing and reported the incident. Fortunately, that observation proved inaccurate, and our students, faculty and staff were never in danger. Based on the information we had at the time, our security officer, a Dakota County Sheriff’s deputy, acted swiftly to secure the campus. Within minutes, we had law enforcement officers from Rosemount, Apple Valley, Burnsville and the sheriff’s office responding to the possible threat. Because of their swift and coordinated action, the college was secured and declared safe in a little more than an hour. On behalf of my colleagues, our students and their families, I want to thank the officers from all the jurisdictions that responded to DCTC. We deeply appreciate law enforcement’s actions to safely and professionally ensure the safety of everyone on campus.

Last year’s Eagan High School freshman band built games used for the Carnival Concert. This year’s activities start at 5 p.m. Jan. 29 at Eagan High School.

Popular Carnival Concert at EHS returns Games, musical performance scheduled for Jan. 29 by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Eagan High School’s Carnival Concert is back. Last year’s event, the first of its kind, saw between 350-400 students and parents in attendance. “It was a shocking success,� said Brett Benson, EHS director of bands. “More people came than we ever hoped.� The event hopes to connect young residents with high school students through music. The Eagan freshman band will host a carnival in the high school com-

mons area starting at 5 p.m. Jan. 29. The games, which are being built by the students, have a musical twist. “Think skee ball, except your goal is to launch the ball into the bell of a tuba,� Benson said. It will include a shooting game where participants try to land a basketball in a bass drum and a similar pingpong game where they try to land the ball in the bell of a trombone. There are activities, such as glitter drums, through which visitors can create an art project by playing a bass drum. “Yamahawks is a dartslike game, throwing a timpani mallet to try to stick it onto a Velcro-covered bass drum,� Benson said. “Shaker-Maker is a game

where students get to design and decorate a homemade shaker, made out of Dixie cups and rice.� There’s also a musical obstacle course, musical relay race and band mini golf. The concert is from 7-8 p.m. featuring songs such as “Great Locomotive Chase,� “Hairspray,� a “Mary Poppins� medley, faculty versus band, “Lassus Trombone,� “Unraveling,� and more. “(It’s) full of skits on stage, student-made videos that keep everyone entertained from beginning to end,� Benson said. Eagan High School is located at 4185 Braddock Trail. Contact Andy Rogers at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

District 196 will hold its annual STEM Career Fair 6-8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 15, at Apple Valley High School, 14450 Hayes Road in Apple Valley. The event is free and open to all area high school students and their parents. More than 100 STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) businesses and colleges will have representatives available to answer students’ questions and share information about their company and work experience. Students can move from table to table in a college fair-like setting to learn how to prepare for a career in a STEM-related field and find out what it takes to become an engineer, computer programmer, physician, pharmacist, nurse, actuary or

morning to go to work? I stick with it because of what my 10th-grade teacher, Mr. Murphy, did for me. I know that I can make a difference in the lives of my students. I understand that they might not remember all of the science concepts I am teaching them, however, I do know that they will remember the life skills they are practicing in my classroom. What is one goal you have for yourself in your next five years of teaching? There is a population of students that have a fixed mindset, meaning they are stuck in their perception of what they can or cannot do. In most cases, they are stuck thinking that they “can’t� do something. I would really like to work with these students and show them that maybe they struggle right now but that struggle isn’t permanent.

The award This year, 436 individuals were nominated for the award. Teachers who accepted the nomination were asked to submit three essays and up to five letters of recommendation. There are 167 official candidates for the award this year, the third highest number of candidates in the 54year history of the award. In 1981 there were 179 candidates, and in 1980 there were 182. Doug Dooher of Education Minnesota attributed the rise in the number of candidates to the ease of electronic submission, better promotion through social media and current politics. “I think in these times people are more cognizant that we should honor these hard-working teachers,� Dooher said. In the coming months, a 25-member panel of community leaders will narrow the list of candidates. They’ll ask between 30 and 40 semifinalists to submit a 2-3 minute video explaining their views on education. After reviewing the videos, the panel will select around 10 finalists for in-person interviews. The 2018 Minnesota Teacher of the Year will be announced Sunday, May 6, at the Radisson Blu Mall of America in Bloomington.

other STEM professional. There will also be door prizes, information about STEM clubs in District 196 schools and tours of Apple Valley High’s fabrication lab. All District 196 schools offer some components of STEM education and the district has established a K-12 pathway of STEMfocused magnet schools. It begins at the elementary level at Cedar Park and Echo Park elementary schools, and continues at Valley Middle of STEM and Apple Valley High. No registration is necessary.

Last Sunday, the Vikings loss against the Philadelphia Eagles had many Minnesota fans bummed, and Jessica Brennan Leibrock was no exception. Brennan Leibrock, her husband, and their two girls are all Vikings fans, so they took the loss pretty hard. And when they learned about the way some Eagles fans treated Vikings fans, Brennan Leibrock said they became even more upset. In some videos, Eagles fans are shown throwing beer cans and yelling expletives at Vikings fans. Though they could’ve responded with anger of their own, Brennan Leibrock and her husband decided to go the opposite route. “(The Eagles fans’ behavior) made us, at first, really, really angry ‌ no fan base should be dealing with that anywhere, but then at the same time realizing ‌ it wasn’t the time to be spiteful back,â€? Brennan Leibrock said. Knowing that Minnesota will host the Eagles on Feb. 4, Brennan Leibrock decided that it would be an opportunity to show good sportsmanship. A few hours after the Vikings’ loss, she started a GoFundMe page, and the Vikings Brotherly Love campaign was born. Proceeds from the fundraising site go the Eagles Charitable Foundation. The goal is to raise $38,000 — $1,000 for every point the Eagles scored against the Vikings. Brennan Leibrock and her husband were inspired by another recent fundraising event. After the Vikings beat the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Divisional Playoffs, Vikings fans do-

nated over $170,000 for Saints punter Thomas Morstead’s foundation, What You Give Will Grow. The Vikings Brotherly Love campaign aims to replicate that giving spirit and welcome the Eagles to the Super Bowl in Minnesota nice fashion. “(We’re doing the campaign) as kind of a yes, some of your fans weren’t great, yes you kicked our butt, but welcome to Minnesota for the Super Bowl kind of gesture. We are gracious here, we are kind and we’re going to be good sports about the whole thing, really. It’s about so much more than football,â€? Brennan Leibrock said. So far, the comments on the GoFundMe page have been mostly positive from Vikings fans who want to channel their disappointment into something positive. But Brennan Leibrock said that some Eagles fans have also left comments. “What’s been surprising to us is all of the Philly fans who are responding ‌ a lot of them have apologized for the fans who were behaving terribly and have said that’s not what the Philly fans are about. They’ve donated, there’s even been a kind of grassroots campaign that’s spawned up for this too, with Philly fans donating to the Vikings’ charitable foundation,â€? Brennan Leibrock said. Hopefully that causes a chain reaction of generosity, Brennan Leibrock added. “How cool would it be if it really started to trend? ‌ What if it continues across the country in all different kinds of sports? How awesome would that be?â€? Brennan Leibrock said. The situation of a team losing the NFC championship and then having

to host the Super Bowl and welcome the team that just beat them isn’t a common occurrence. But it’s an opportunity that Vikings fans can use in a positive way. “Obviously nobody wanted to see our season end that way, but it did and we have to move forward. ‌ We’ve got a chance here to take the high road and really show the Eagles and their fans and everybody what we’re made of,â€? Brennan Leibrock said. As of Wednesday morning, the campaign had already reached $11,869 of its $38,000 goal — raising over $10,000 in just one day. While it would be great to reach that goal, Brennan Leibrock says she hopes the Vikings get involved, too. “Just as an act of sportsmanship, I’d love to see Case Keenum and Stefon Diggs welcome the Eagles off the plane and hand them their check and say, ‘Welcome to our state. Good game, we’re over it, good luck.’ That would be really a cool example to set,â€? Brennan Leibrock. As diehard Vikings fans, Brennan Leibrock and her husband already thought their team had the best fans. But the thousands of dollars raised so far has made that belief even stronger. “We knew this fan base was amazing ‌ but seeing the response has just confirmed that 100 times. It’s great to be reminded of the good in people,â€? Brennan Leibrock said. More information about the Vikings Brotherly Love campaign can be found at www.gofundme.com/vikingsbrotherlylove.

South metro precinct locations Here’s a roundup of precinct caucus locations in the Sun Thisweek and Dakota County Tribune coverage area using as much information as available as of press time. If you are still unsure where to attend a caucus, go online to http://caucusfinder. sos.state.mn.us.

Senate District 57 (Apple Valley-Rosemount) CAUCUSES, from 1A vice chairperson are selected along with delegates to the senate district convention. The DFL has a form available for nominating someone for party position even if they are unable to attend caucus night at https://tinyurl.com/y7dflk7k. The GOP also allows people to nominate people for positions if they are not in the precinct room. The names of those people can be written down on the nomination sheet and typically a person will speak for a minute on the person’s behalf. A gubernatorial preference ballot will be conducted, and most locations have registration that begins as a early as 6 p.m. along with time for speeches from party leaders or candidates. “Attending 2018 precinct caucuses for the party of your choice gives every Minnesotan the chance to impact who our next governor and U.S. senators will be; caucuses TAX, from 1A earmarked for the new incentives. The new development tools include city land purchases to speed redevelopment and business incentives to tear down or renovate older buildings. Gustafson, who has called for reinvigorating development in Burnsville, said the cost shouldn’t be borne only by property owners. Gustafson and council members Dan Kealey and Cara Schulz agreed at a work session Monday to study the sales tax in 2018. Mayor Elizabeth Kautz and Council Member Bill Coughlin were against the idea. So was a Burnsville Chamber of Commerce board member who witnessed the discussion. A local sales tax would be

are the opening step of the process by which candidates are endorsed by the parties,� Staley said. Organizers suggest that people plan to arrive early. As has been the case in many of the past years, parking lots at the sites fill up fast as sometimes people have had to park on nearby streets and walk a good distance. “Some of the business conducted at caucuses is time-sensitive by state law, so please plan to arrive early so business can begin promptly,� Staley said. It’s best to be prepared to know the city precinct where you live so you know what room to gather in at the larger locations in the high or middle schools. Many senate district websites offer more information about each caucus site, so it’s worth checking those online before attending. Senate district party conventions are the next item on the calendar in advance of the 2018 election. They are planned in

March at various locations throughout the area. More information about those will follow in a future edition. These conventions not only need delegates to make endorsements, but they also need volunteers to help plan with such activities as logistics, rulemaking, credentials, nominations and resolutions. To find out how to volunteer for upcoming conventions, contact the local party leaders. “As to why I and so many other volunteers are spending our time working on this process, well, I think we would all have different answers,� Stroessner said. “But the heart of things, to all of us, is the desire that everyone with the right to vote in the U.S. avail themselves of that right. We believe in democracy and in the power of ‘we, the people.’ �

“detrimental to the community and counterproductive to economic development,� Tom Taylor, who chairs the chamber’s public policy committee, said afterward. It would be “a deterrent to businesses to locate here,� he said. At the time eying construction of a performing arts center and other expenses, the council floated but abandoned the sales tax idea in 2006. Kealey said Monday the tax would broaden the base for funding critical investments in economic development. But Kealey said he’s torn over making Burnsville a tax “island,� which could put its retailers at a competitive disadvantage. Schulz, who voted against the 2018 city budget and levy while calling for a property tax freeze, said the idea is worth ex-

ploring for property tax relief. Coughlin said he’s philosophically opposed to a local sales tax. Enabling state legislation would be needed to establish the tax, City Attorney Joel Jamnik said. State law says the tax must be tied to a particular project and have beginning and ending dates, he said. Lawmakers might frown on Burnsville’s request because it already has the state-authorized EDA levy to promote development, Kautz said. Small-business owners told her 12 years ago a local sales tax “would be devastating,� Kautz said.

Republican Senate District 51 (Eagan-Burnsville) - Dakota Hills Middle School, Eagan, doors open at 6 p.m., candidate speeches 6:156:45 p.m., caucuses start 7 p.m. with governor straw poll.

Sports Playing for Patrick means making a difference Heart screenings for young athletes continuing three years after Patrick Schoonover’s death by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Dozens of young athletes lined up in a meeting room in Eagan Civic Arena earlier this month, perhaps questioning why they needed to be there. They had their heights and weights recorded. They got blood pressure checks. An electrocardiogram monitored their bodies’ electrical signals, and an echocardiogram took pictures of their hearts. They met with medical professionals who explained what the results meant. Most went through the screening without having any warning signs detected. For a couple of teenagers, problems were detected that could affect their ability to play sports in the future. After taking a visitor on a tour of all the activity, Mike Schoonover was asked, would his son be alive today if this was available a few years ago? “Yes, if we had taken advantage of it.” But that was part of the problem. Large-scale screening programs for young athletes didn’t exist in Minnesota on Nov. 14, 2014, when Patrick Schoonover died after collapsing on the ice during a youth hockey game in Brainerd. He would have been a junior at Eastview High School this year. A medical examiner told the Schoonover family Patrick died of previously undiagnosed heart defects. If Patrick ever felt chest pains or any other symptoms of heart trouble, he never told his parents, Mike Schoonover said. Since then, Schoonover, his wife Gayle and their surviving children Abby, Anna and Matthew, have been trying to do whatever they could to prevent something similar from happening to anybody else. They started the Patrick Schoonover Heart Foundation, which stages heart screenings for young athletes and donates automated external defibril-

After losing their son Patrick about three years ago to an undiagnosed heart defect, Gayle and Mike Schoonover have been trying to prevent other young athletes from suffering the same fate. lators (AEDs) to schools and youth organizations. Since 2015, a dozen screenings have taken place throughout the Twin Cities, including the most recent Jan. 13 in Eagan, held in conjunction with the Play for Patrick youth hockey tournament. Approximately 180 students were screened at the Eagan event; 240 were tested at an event at Eastview High School last fall and 150 more were seen in White Bear Lake. “There are a lot of blood pressure issues, we’re finding,” Mike Schoonover said. “That may just be because of the activities of the day, but we’re recommending to the kids that have abnormalities that they follow up with their family doctor, keep an eye on it and pay attention to it. “We think our kids are invincible, that they’re not going to have any heart issues or high blood pressure because that’s all stuff (that happens) when you get older. That’s not the case.” Not long after Patrick’s death, the Schoonovers, who are Eagan residents, had an idea for something they could do in his memory and traveled to Washington state to see the program in action. “We learned this all

from an organization in Seattle called the Nick of Time Foundation,” Mike Schoonover said. “It was the same type of situation, where a boy passed away and his mom and her sister started the foundation. They’ve been at it 10 years, working with the University of Washington in doing their screenings. We traveled out there to learn, actually attended a screen and saw what it was all about, then brought it back to Minnesota. “There are a lot of these organizations around, but some only do the EKG. Some only do the echocardiogram. We think if you only do one, you’re only seeing part of the picture.” About a year ago, the Schoonovers learned one of the Play for Patrick screenings flagged a young athlete who was found to have a condition similar to Patrick’s. “Patrick had a bicuspid aortic valve and he also had an aortic aneurysm,” Mike Schoonover said. “The aneurysm is what caused his death. The aneurysm burst when he got checked. If we would have found this, Patrick would have been able to have surgery to fix it, but he would not have been able to play contact sports. He could have played golf, could have done something else.”

Patrick’s condition was described as one in 5,000, “so it was pretty rare,” Mike Schoonover added. “But if you have an auditorium full of 100 kids, chances are one or two of them have some kind of issue.” In the three years following Patrick’s death, the Schoonover family remains puzzled about why medical professionals didn’t make more of what Mike Schoonover said was their son’s high blood pressure. “Patrick had four physicals his last two years of life. Two of them were sports physicals. All four times his blood pressure was high, extremely high, but nothing was ever said,” his father said. “Our other mission is that families need to advocate for their own health, be aware of what’s going on, know what high blood pressure is. “If one time the doc had said, ‘This is really high. We’re going to check it again and if it’s still high, you should follow up with a cardiologist,’ that would have saved Patrick’s life. We had four opportunities. The whole idea behind this is to make sure people know that just because they’re kids doesn’t mean they can’t have these issues. This is not an old

An echocardiogram, a common test to detect heart disease, is used at Play for Patrick screenings such as the Jan. 13 event at Eagan Civic Arena. person’s disease.” The Play for Patrick screenings probably always will take place at Eastview High and in Eagan because Patrick’s story hits close to home. As the effort branches out into other communities, Mike Schoonover said it becomes a tougher sell with several organizations needing to get on board. Another screening event is tentatively planned for Prior Lake in April. Approximately 70 medical professionals donated their time at the screenings at Eagan High School. The organization also collaborates with a number of other organizations including the University of Minnesota Physicians Heart Clinics and the Minnesota chapter of the NHL Alumni Association, which worked with the Patrick Schoonover Heart Foundation to donate a portable AED to the Apple Valley Teen Center. Screenings are free and available to all youngsters, not just those involved in

organized youth sports. The foundation relies on volunteers and donations to conduct screenings; more information is available at www.playforpatrick.org. Mike Schoonover said the screenings have to remain free because medical insurers are reluctant to pay for heart screenings for a group that’s not thought to have a high risk of heart problems. “That’s the part that blows us away a little bit,” he said. “We screen for other things and find a way to make it affordable and effective. “We spend a lot of money as a society with end-of-life care. Are some of these issues we’re finding now, would we able to diagnose and treat them to make quality of life better later? We’ll just keep doing what we’re doing and posting the results. If things change in the future, they change in the future.” Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

Former SSC players are champs again with North Dakota State by Matthew Davis CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Former Rosemount football star Dimitri Williams of North Dakota State University knew well how tight the pass coverage would be in the Jan. 6 FCS championship game. Williams and fellow receivers struggled to get open in a season-ending semifinal loss to James Madison in 2016 FCS semifinals. James Madison won 27-17 and went on to claim the FCS crown, ending the Bison’s five-year reign. “We were hungry,” Williams said. “We had that in mind all throughout spring, all throughout summer, all throughout this fall. We knew coming out here, it’s going to be a battle.” Williams did his part

in restoring the Bison at the top this time around in a 17-13 win over James Madison for the 2018 FCS title. He caught two passes for 20 yards, including a 14-yard catch, and a he returned a kick 14 yards. “Ninety percent of the game is blocking,” Williams said. “Only one guy can carry the ball, so you’ve got to just do your job every time you’re out there on the field.” That included doing his part on a 50-yard TD pass from junior quarterback Easton Stick to junior wide receiver Darrius Shepherd in the second quarter. Besides the longest play from scrimmage in the game, the Bison had to grind out drives with short plays. NDSU captured its sixth FCS championship

in seven seasons. Former Lakeville North football standout Zach Ziemer, a senior offensive guard who played in the title game for the Bison, got to end his career a champion. Ziemer has seen action as a backup since the 2014 season. Fellow senior one-time Lakeville North star Greg Menard, a senior defensive end, didn’t play Jan. 6 due to a season-ending injury in fall camp. Menard received a medical redshirt and will play again next fall. Former Apple Valley standout Noah Sanders also didn’t play since the Bison freshman quarterback redshirted this season. The same went for one-time Farmington star Tanner Sundt, a freshman defensive end for the Bison.

Lakeville North rallied from a sixpoint halftime deficit to defeat Farmington 55-53 on Tuesday night in a game each team likely needed to win to retain realistic hope of winning the South Suburban Conference girls basketball championship. North is 7-2 in the conference after Tuesday’s victory and trails league leader Eastview by 1.5 games. Eastview’s game against Burnsville on Tuesday was postponed and will be rescheduled, although no makeup date has been announced. Farmington is 6-3 in the league and is tied for third with Lakeville South. Lakeville North gets a rematch with Eastview at home at 7 p.m. Friday after losing to the Lightning 62-59 in overtime on Dec. 12. Even if the Panthers defeat Eastview, they will need the Lightning to lose at least one more conference game to have a chance at first place. Eastview remained 15-0 overall and 8-0 in the conference after Tuesday’s postponement. Lakeville North, 13-4 overall and ranked fourth in Class 4A by Minnesota Basketball News, had 17 points from sophomore guard Lauren Jensen, who was one of four Panthers players to score in double figures.

Rosemount’s 12-game winning streak. Eastview also defeated Rosemount 5-1 on Dec. 5. The Lightning is responsible for two of Rosemount’s three losses this season. Eastview (14-4 overall, 8-3 conference) lost at Lakeville North on Tuesday despite outshooting the Panthers 35-15. Lenny Nunn and Bordson had secondperiod goals for the Lightning. Mason Wheeler scored two powerplay goals 32 seconds apart in the third period of Rosemount’s home-ice victory over Burnsville on Tuesday. One came on a 5-on-3 advantage and the second was on a 5-on-4. The Irish improved to 14-3 overall and 9-2 in the conference. Jake Ratzlaff assisted on both goals and Ben Garrity made 31 saves for his third shutout in the last four games and fourth overall. Rosemount plays host to Prior Lake at 7 p.m. Saturday. It’s too soon to call it a two-team race for the South Suburban title. Eastview goes to third-place Eagan (7-3 in conference play) at 3 p.m. Saturday. Eagan defeated Eastview 4-3 in a conference game Dec. 12, and the Wildcats also have a league game remaining with Rosemount on Feb. 10.

Jones to McDonald’s game While hardly surprising, it’s now official – Apple Valley boys basketball point guard Tre Jones has been invited to the McDonald’s All-American Game, to be played March 28 in Atlanta. Jones is the only Minnesota player selected for this year’s game, which features 24 of the nation’s top high school seniors. Jones’ brother Tyus, Apple Valley’s all-time leading scorer, played in the game four years ago. Tre Jones, who signed with Duke in November, is averaging 25 points, 10 rebounds and six assists for the defending state Class 4A champion Eagles.

Eastview prevented Rosemount from breaking from the pack in South Suburban Conference boys hockey, but the Lightning’s stay in first place lasted only a couple of days. Eastview defeated Rosemount 3-0 on Saturday at Apple Valley Sports Arena, giving the Lightning its second victory of the season over the Irish and creating a tie for first place in the South Suburban. On Tuesday, however, Eastview’s 3-2 loss to Lakeville North and Rosemount’s 2-0 victory over Burnsville put the Irish back in first place by two points. Trevor Lunde made 30 saves and Nate Email Mike Shaughnessy at Bordson, Luke Barron and Jack Young mike.shaughnessy@ecm-inc.com. scored in Saturday’s victory, which ended

CENTER, from 1A director of sports medicine and physical therapy. The sport medicine training center will include a 60-yard turf field, basketball court, dance studio, conference spaces, concussion/vision training lab, biomechanics lab, resistance training lab, sports nutrition offices and space for fitness classes. “This will probably be the trend in professional sports,� Warren said. “To be on the front end of this, to create a holistic health center, a health-focused environment for our staff, our players, our coaches, our fans, our community ... we’re really excited,� Both buildings are up, and the interiors are being filled. When it’s open, it will serve both the Minnesota Vikings and its fans. The sports medicine portion will serve athletes including marathon runners, youth sports participants, public service workers, the military and weekend warriors. “The recovery side is a big area of sports right now,� Bailey said. “There’s a lot of innovation right now to get athletes back on the field fast and effectively.� The biggest benefit to building this facility, Bailey said, is to put all their best providers together under one roof. “It really allows us to connect the dots with sports medicine rehabilitation,� Bailey said. “Nutrition, sports psychology, rehabilitation, these things

are offered throughout the market, but they’re not always in the same spot. ... This facility is going to have people at the very top of their profession in athletic training, chiropractic therapy, massage, pilates, acupuncture, all working together for the athlete, the client.� The center allows Twin Cities Orthopedics to house specialty rehabilitation equipment such as gravity-minimized treadmills, Kaiser resistance equipment, cold laser therapy and cryotherapy machines. While most athletic training involves various muscle groups, one of the growing fields in training involves the brain. The facility will offer concussion baseline testing and help with postconcussion rehabilitation. “If there is an injury, we know there’s a lot of downstream affect,� Bailey said. “People will have an increase in ankle sprains after a concussion.� Bailey said they hope to partner with area high schools for concussion rehabilitation and testing. The facility will also have virtual-reality programing to help with vision and perception in a high-speed environment. “From police officers to quarterback, it’s a positive thing if they can perceive their environment quickly and respond appropriately,� Bailey said. Bailey said they’re hoping to offer services to area police, fire and military personnel to “help reduce injury rates and keep their

body younger as they age in their career.� Keeping that mind healthy and psychologically sound is key. “We all know when an athlete is confident, they’re going to perform at their highest level,� Bailey said. “We work with an individual to help build confidence and reduce subtle fears and release them from the pressure, to just allow them to perform. When you have to make a putt at the Masters, you should be thinking about nothing. ... And people can easily feel depressed when they’re coming from an injury. You’re away from your sport and your team and what you love to do.� The facility will also offer group fitness classes including yoga via memberships, but it won’t serve as a traditional gym. The Minnesota Vikings will essentially be practicing across the parking lot. It will allow for faster diagnosis. If a football player needs an MRI, CT scan or a DEXA scan, they can get one right away. “Missed diagnosis or a lack of diagnosis is a real problem in the recovery of the athlete,� Bailey said. “It’s a two-minute golf cart ride away.� The new headquarters will open in about two months and the new medical facilities in about four. They’re both located south of I-494, east of Dodd Road at 815 Vikings Parkway. Contact Andy Rogers at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Only special assessments for public improvements are eligible for deferment consideration. Special assessments for code enforcement violations and delinquent service charges such as streetscape operation and maintenance and utility bills shall not be eligible for special assessment deferment. The deferment shall be granted upon a certification by the owner on the form prescribed by the county auditor supplemented by the city clerk to establish the qualification of the owner for such deferment. The application shall be made within thirty (30) days after the adoption of the assessment roll by the council and shall be renewed each following year upon the filing of a similar application not later than September 30. The council shall either grant or deny the deferment. Compounding interest at the current rate for special assessments shall be included with all special assessment deferrals. If the council grants the deferment, the clerk shall notify the county auditor who shall, in accordance with Minnesota statutes section 435.194, record a notice of the deferment with the county recorder setting forth the amount of the assessment. SECTION 2. Section 1-9-2 of the Burnsville City Code is hereby amended by adding the underlined language and deleting the strikethrough language as follows: 1-9-2: EXCEPTIONS; CONSIDERATION: A hardship shall be deemed prima facie to exist when all of the following apply: (A) The total annual special assessment amount exceeds 1% of the annual adjusted gross income of the applicant and spouse according to their most recent federal income tax return, plus their tax exempt income does not exceed twenty five thousand dollars ($25,000.00). If no such return was made, the clerk shall require the applicant to submit other pertinent information to show that this qualification is met.

(C) The special assessments to be deferred exceed four hundred dollars ($400.00). (D) The total assets of the applicant and spouse, exclusive of the homestead, do not exceed sixty thousand dollars ($60,000.00). Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, the city council may consider exceptional and unusual circumstances pertaining to an applicant not covered by foregoing standards; but any determination shall be made in a nondiscriminatory manner and shall not give the applicant an unreasonable preference or advantage over other applicants.

Outdoors writer to speak at Meet the Author Bloomington author Tim McDonnell, who has an affinity for writing stories about his time spent in the Northwoods, will be the featured speaker during the Friends of the Robert Trail Library’s Meet the Author at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 5. This was originally slated for Jan. 22, but was postponed due to a snowstorm. McDonnell is the author of “The Whole Forest for a Backyard,� which was a finalist for the 2013 Northeast Minnesota Book Awards, and his most recent book is “The Contemplative Paddler’s Fireside Companion.�

His says his first book is about a boy with a large imagination reared in one of our nation’s most cherished wilderness areas. It is mostly about the author’s growing up years in the 1950s and 1960s at the resort his parents owned 32 miles into the boreal forest from the town of Grand Marais. Far more than a sentimental journey into the past, it is described as a story of triumphs, tragedies, and transitions revealing the cathartic powers of nature. McDonnell says the lessons are more relevant today since our need to re-

connect with the wild has never been greater. His says his new book is not a “how-to� manual for paddlers but a “whydo� volume exploring the spiritual core of paddle trip experience. The book is filled with clarity, spirit, and self-effacing humor. McDonnell grew up in the wilderness of northeastern Minnesota on the periphery of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. The event is free to attend. The Robert Trail Library is at 14395 S. Robert Trail.

SUN THISWEEK - Burnsville - Eagan Jan. 26, 2018 17A

Thisweekend SUPER VOLUNTEERS Dakota County turns out in force to help with the Super Bowl Earlier this month, Sun Thisweek and the Dakota County Tribune posted an item on Facebook asking who from Dakota County would be volunteering during the Super Bowl. The newspaper received several responses and sent a questionnaire to the initial blast of respondents. The newspaper has separated the responses by city, but people can read the whole batch of questionnaires at SunThisweek.com. 1) What is your Super Bowl position and duties? 2) Why did you want to volunteer/work the Super Bowl events? 3) How long have you been a Vikings fan? What has been the best part of being a Vikings fan? 4) A big part of the Super Bowl is to show visitors what a great place the Twin Cities are. What is one aspect of living here that you’d like to convey to visitors?

Burnsville Susan Rowell 1) Hotel host – Embassy Suites Bloomington. Greet guests, answer questions about things to do, transportation, events that are happening. 2) In 1992, I was a volunteer hotel ambassador for the Super Bowl. So the 2018 host committee have designated us as the “Hall of Famers.� It was so much fun meeting people from all over the world (especially the Buffalo/New York fans!) 3) I would say that I have been a Vikings Fan since the 1960s. I remember my dad taking me out to the headquarters to buy student tickets for $1 – to sit in the end zone for the games. The best part of being a fan is feeling part of a group of other fans especially my family! 4) I have lived here all my life and still discovering great things about Minnesota. I grew up in St. Paul and am very loyal to my roots there. The one aspect of living here is that you can drive one hour away to enjoy the lakes and all the beauty of the landscape here.

Traci Kubisiak 1) Super Bowl Live on Nicollet Mall 2) This is the opportunity of a lifetime to represent the Bold North of my home state and be in the heart of the action as the Super Bowl comes to Minnesota! 3) Being a lifelong Minnesotan, I have been a Vikings fan all my life. Being a Vikings fan means being committed no matter how the Vikings are doing that season and sharing the spirit of SKOL with an amazing fan base across our great state and beyond. 4) We don’t live in igloos! Seriously, I would like to convey that winter is a fantastic season in Minnesota. We have it all here – sports, arts, music, and a strong business community, all in a beautiful setting. Our landscape looks different season by season, but the friendliness of the people and heartiness of our communities is strong year-round.

Traci Kubisiak The Super Bowl is more than a game, it’s 10 days of events that will provide visitors with so many things to do, from concerts held all around the cities, and the Birkebeiner Bridge, Polaris snowmobile jumping, the Super Bowl Experience — there’s something for everyone.

lifetime experience! To be a part of something so special and important for our communities and our state is what led me to apply. It was a thrill when I was notified that I was selected out of more than 30,000 applicants. I can’t wait to brag up Minnesota. 3) I suppose my whole life. I grew up watching Vikings games with my grandparents and listening on car rides. Now having kids of my own, it’s been a fun experience to watch them become fans in their own right. 4) I want people to see that “Minnesota nice� is truly “Minnesota nice� and not in the passiveaggressive way. Too, we are not “fly-over land.� The culture, restaurants, experiences are all something worth noting. And, being from Austin, Minnesota — SPAMTOWN USA — I’ll definitely be reminding visitors that Minnesota is the home of SPAM.

18A Jan. 26, 2018 SUN THISWEEK - Burnsville - Eagan

COSTCO, from 1A Mike Stratus, Costco’s site selector, said “right now it’s on a hill, it’s got trees, it’s got development complexities, but we’re comfortable with it.� Spectrum Commerce Center and Grand Oak Business Park are located south and east of the proposed development. Rick Morphew, owner of area business parks, said his current experience renting office space TEACHERS, from 1A “It Took Us This Long to Get This Good,� will be presented at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 8-10 at Burnsville High School, with a 2:30 p.m. matinee on Saturday, Feb. 10. Iles, who taught for 28 of her 40 years at William Byrne Elementary, has performed in every “Class Acts.� She started in the choir but tried dance 25 years ago and hasn’t looked back. “She’s an original. She’s like a beautiful root to the tree,� said Lucretia Jeffers, the show’s co-chair, who teachers seventh grade at Metcalf and trails Iles by only two years in seniority for both teaching and “Class Acts� participaHOTELS, from 1A quite frankly, we get a few calls randomly, but they’re not on the radar.� Minnesota hotels are licensed by the state, which is required by law to fully inspect each property for fire safety once every three years. Burnsville might conduct an occasional inspection, but only if a complaint is lodged, Fire Chief B.J. Jungmann said. During budget talks this past summer, council members discussed reclaiming fire inspection duties from the state in order to inspect the properties more often. Burnsville did the inspections before budget cuts claimed a fire

has been successful, and repeatedly expressed his concerns about traffic increases to the area. The city would require a detailed traffic study to determine how it would affect the surrounding roads. With the addition of the new development at Vikings Lakes and with Costco, traffic would likely significantly increase in the area for Dodd Road, Blue Gentian Road, Lone Oak Road and at the I-494 ramps.

Costco’s proposal includes about 450 fewer parking spots than what was approved with the office plan. According to a document submitted by Kittelson & Associates, which reviewed trip generation and parking supply for the property, there should be a net decrease in morning and afternoon peak-hour traffic than if it was an office and about 450 fewer parking spots. Office workers normal-

ly travel during rush hours while a retail store would attract varied traffic. Stratus said most customers come in the evening or on the weekend. Aaron Nelson, assistant city engineer, said “it may actually be a better situation� than if it were an office building where everyone was arriving and leaving at the same time. He said a larger scale traffic study would identify if there would be any traffic adjustments.

Costco is a membership warehouse club. Stratus said about 30-40 percent of its sales are to other businesses, so “many communities see us as a hybrid retail/industrial use.� The other closest Costco stores are at 14050 Burnhaven Drive in Burnsville and 7070 Tamarack Road in Woodbury. It’s the second largest retailer in the world with 90.3 million cardholders in 14 countries, Stratus said. Stratus said Costco of-

fers a $13.50 starting wage and an average $23.85 per hour wage. He said the higher wages saves the company money because turnover is low. The City Council will likely take up the measure next month.

tion. Quick with a quip, Jeffers is a “Class Acts� emcee, arranger, performer and occasional scriptwriter who once played Gracie Allen to retired teacher Wes Hanna’s George Burns. “It’s like a little microorganism of our school district,� she said of the show, which started under the guidance of former Burnsville Education Association President Connie Evans. “Class Acts� is believed to be the thirdlongest-running teacher variety show in Minnesota. “It’s sort of addictive. Once you’re in it, you sort of don’t want to give it up,� said co-chair Jennifer Gandrud, a first-grade

teacher at Vista View Elementary who has performed for 18 years but took a year off when she had a baby. “That’s about what most people do,� Gandrud said. “When they have kids, people take time off for their kids. But otherwise this is almost a stress relief, as stressful as it is. This is my first year trying dance. That’s reason enough to come see the show.� Teachers once tried a musical play format but returned to a variety show with singers, dancers and groups of teachers whipping up their own comedy skits, Jeffers said. They opened the show to nonteaching staff a couple of years ago, she said, lur-

ing ex-Superintendent Joe Gothard onstage to bust a move. “Joe came out as The Rock,� Jeffers said. “He had a propensity to that, in the same way that I feel I come out as Cher.� For many teachers the show has become part of their professional culture, another career marker. Two couples — Ross and Briana Benson and Joe and Nancy Meyer — met as performers and married, Jeffers said. Meghan Jermeland, a third-grade teacher at Sky Oaks Elementary, attended “Class Acts� rehearsals as a child with her parents, retired teachers Wes and DeeDee Hanna, who joined the show at its inception.

She performed with them in five editions of “Class Acts� after the district hired her 14 years ago. “When I got to high school I thought it would be cool if I’d get a ‘Class Acts’ scholarship, and it ended up happening,� said Jermeland, who has taken a break from performing while raising kids but is her school’s “Class Acts� representative. “And once you get there, you think, ‘I think I want to be a teacher.’ And then once you get a degree as a teacher, you think, ‘Well, maybe I can get a job in 191.’ And once I got a job in 191, then it was, ‘I can do “Class Acts.� ’ Participants usually number 75 to 100, about 60

of them onstage, Gandrud said. The show helps connect teachers from across the district, said Gandrud, who is convinced that links she made as a rookie teacher in “Class Acts� helped her get rehired after she’d been pink-slipped early in her career. “The only reason I got tenured was because of a connection to ‘Class Acts,’ � she said. Tickets are $7 and available 30 minutes before each show at the Mraz Center for the Performing Arts. Tickets can also be ordered at www.isd191. org/district-191-class-acts.

inspector position in June 2009. The annual cost is estimated at $100,000, which the council declined to add to the 2018 city budget. A city license could grant broader authority. The Minnesota city of Waite Park passed in December a hotel licensing ordinance that sets rules for management training and excessive nuisance calls and gives the city grounds to revoke or deny a license. Waite Park required special state legislation to enact the ordinance, said Jenni Faulkner, Burnsville’s community development director. City Attorney Joel Jamnik

recommends the same for Burnsville if it pursues a licensing ordinance. “It’ll be interesting to see if (the Waite Park ordinance) actually stands a constitutional challenge,� said Council Member Bill Coughlin, a lawyer, who described it as vague and subjective. Other Burnsville hotel owners will balk at paying a license fee when a single owner is causing most of the problems, Kautz said, noting that the city’s hotel managers hold quarterly meetings. “Guess who doesn’t show up to those meetings? The people who aren’t doing what they’re supposed to do,� the may-

or said. Kealey and Council Member Dan Gustafson said more urgent attention is needed for the Norwood, 12920 Aldrich Ave. S., which opened in the early 1980s and has also been a Travelodge and Red Roof Inn. “When you have an area that has a bad hotel, the whole area starts to look bad,� Gustafson said, noting that the Norwood is near another hotel, the LivINN. “It’s not good for our economic development.� The Norwood has been an impediment to attracting a hotel to the Heart of the City, according to Kealey. And reputable Burns-

ville hotels are dragged down by the bad apple, he said. “Do we leave the cancer in the locker room and let everybody else just act like it’s not there and try and work around it, or do we address it somehow with some tool?� said Kealey, citing St. Louis and Chicago among the U.S. cities with hotel licensing. “I can tell you right now, Norwood Inn, that particular area, our officers are out there every day,� Gieseke said. “The patrol officers that work that area, they know who they’re looking for. It’s a target-rich environment for them. “For lack of a better

term, it’s their bread and butter every night. That’s where they’re going to check on people, and a lot of the arrests we make at night are largely a result of people staying there.� Officers have good relations with some of the hotel staffers, Gieseke said. “Not everybody there is a big fan of us, quite frankly,� he said. “It makes our jobs a little more difficult.� City staff will do more research on licensing for future council discussion, City Manager Heather Johnston said.
