CDA has marketed vacant property by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Townhomes and a Kwik Trip are planned for the vacant land next to Valley Ridge Senior Living on Burnsville Parkway west of County Road 5. The Dakota County Community Development Agency, which owns the property, has been seeking a developer since it bought the entire parcel previous-

ly occupied by the Valley Ridge Shopping Center. The CDA removed the mall and built the $15.4 million senior complex, which is managed by Presbyterian Homes and Services, on seven acres in 2012. Developer interest in the remaining 6.7 acres was slow at first because of the economy, said Kari Gill, CDA deputy executive director. Now Lennar is proposing to build a 27-unit townhome complex and Kwik Trip is planning a gas station, convenience

store and car wash. At the city of Burnsville’s request, the plans are proposed as a single project, Gill said. “We’ve been working with both parties for some time,� she said.

2017 U.S. presidency dominated headlines Year in Review

All politics turned local as interest piqued in the federal branch

by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The actions of any U.S. president often dominate the headlines. In 2017, it seemed that every day President Donald Trump and his administration were making major news covered by daily papers, cable television and worldwide political reporters. As a result, it seemed that more people in were engaged in what the federal government was doing this year. First-term Republican U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis found himself in the middle of crafting legislation that was followed closely by many across the country and locally. Lewis was a staunch supporter of bills that worked their way through the House on health care and taxes, one of which was approved by both chambers and survived a committee’s reconciling to land on the president’s desk. In the final month of 2017, a tax reform bill was adopted that would reduce corporate rates, increase child tax credits, increase the standard deduction among many other features. “As a member of Budget Committee, I was integral in passing reconciliation instructions to accomplish this tax reform,” Lewis said last week. “And I can tell you that contrary to a lot of misinformation, taxpayers in the 2nd District will benefit directly by seeing their taxes go down, as … data clearly shows … for a family of four in the 2nd District by $3,858.” He said the report is at https://tinyurl.com/yd67flkl. After its passage, Lewis said he spent the better part of the past two decades advocating that putting more money in the hands of the people who earned it is al-

ways a good idea. “Our bill doubles the standard deduction, gives a rate cut to everyone, in each bracket, and drastically reduces taxes on Min- Jason nesota entrepre- Lewis neurs,” he said. “By making our tax code internationally competitive, it also gives companies the right incentives to stay in the United States, to hire our friends and neighbors, and to give folks a raise.” He said there is still more work to do in moving toward flatter and fairer federal taxes. The bill also repealed the Affordable Care Act’s mandate that required all people to have health insurance — a key feature of the bill widely referred to as Obamacare. Republicans in the House passed a repeal and replacement of the ACA, which Lewis said on the campaign trail was a top priority. The Senate never got enough support for the bill and was unable to pass it along to Trump. “I will be the first to admit our side did not do a good job of messaging,” said Lewis, speaking April 10 at a Dakota County Regional Chamber of Commerce event at Valleywood Golf Course in Apple Valley. “I spoke passionately on the floor about this — I stand by my support. The status quo is untenable.” Lewis said other accomplishments of the past year were working with Democrats on comprehensive criminal justice reform, the House passage of Lewis’ Juvenile Justice Reform bill and the adoption of 15 Congressional Review Act resolutions “rolling back burdensome, duplicative, and unnecessary big-government rules, saving over 4.2 million hours of unnecessary paperwork and $3.7 billion in regulatory costs.”

Jeff Erdmann

Angie Craig

He said he also blocked attempts to reauthorize the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act without serious reforms. Many people in the 2nd District called for Lewis to hold a town hall meeting 2017. Lewis said in February “we will figure out a way to do it,” but several times expressed reservations about such an event since “we know it is an orchestrated attempt on the part of the people who worked for Hillary Clinton and my opponent.” Burnsville-Lakeville Indivisible invited Lewis to its own town hall in Dakota County, but Lewis declined. Instead, organizers played video clips of Lewis’s past statements on topics such as immigration, health care, taxes and education. Several people went to the Lewis’ Burnsville office in the past year to protest the Republicans’ health care bill, immigration reform and the tax bill. One group organized by Take Action Minnesota went to Lewis’ Woodbury house to protest in changes to health care. The protest, which took place on the lawn, driveway and doorstep of his private residence, was criticized by Lewis and other Republicans and Democrats. Though a recent Pew Research study showed that less than 50 percent of core conservatives and solid liberals are registered to vote, follow politics closely and vote in every or nearly every election, the signs of increased political engagement can be seen in rallies for and against the current

administration. This newspaper noticed an uptick in the level of engagement in federal issues as nearly 100 letters to the editor referred to Lewis in 2017, while in 2013 31 mentioned former U.S. Rep. John Kline. Both were years following presidential elections. About a dozen letters referred to Eagan resident Angie Craig, who lost by a narrow margin to Lewis in 2016. Interest in the 2018 ballot’s 2nd District seat attracted the attention of Craig and three other candidates. Longtime Rosemount High School teacher Jeff Erdmann said he would be running in May, and Craig, who stepped down from her leadership responsibilities as vice president of global human resources at St. Paul-based St. Jude Medical to focus on her 2016 campaign, officially joined the race in June. Jacob Cassidy, of Apple Valley, started a campaign pledge page this summer as an Independent Progressive, but had not registered with the Federal Election Commission as of this time. “The reason I am running for Congress is because I believe a culture of success is built on respect,” the longtime RHS football coach Erdmann said in a letter announcing his candidacy. “America will only succeed when respect and value are placed on citizens who work hard and sacrifice every day for what they have. This needs to be brought back to the American political forefront.” “We deserve a representative who will listen to everyone — even those we might disagree with — and then work to create a level playing field for every family,” said Craig during her announcement. “I’m ready to use my ex-

perience to work to lower health care costs and ensure every family has access to care,” she said. “I’m ready to fight for public education and more affordable college and job training. I’m ready to fight for good paying jobs and for the Social Security and Medicare benefits that Minnesotans have already paid for. I’m ready to fight Washington to make sure this district is heard and gets what it deserves.” Craig lost to Lewis, a longtime radio talk show host, who earned 46.95 percent of the vote, while Craig had 45.16 percent. Independence Party candidate Paula Overby had 7.79 percent of the vote. Overby, of Eagan, announced in November that she would be running for the U.S. Senate seat that was previously held by Al Franken. She made the announcement a few weeks before Franken was accused by a Los Angeles radio talk show host of forcibly kissing her during a rehearsal for a USO Tour show and a photo surfaced that showed Franken appearing to grope Leeann Tweeden while she was sleeping. Franken said on Dec. 7 he would be resigning from the position after several other women accused him of inappropriate sexual touching prior to and during the past 10 years he has served in the Senate. “I know in my heart that nothing I have done as a senator, nothing, has brought dishonor on this institution. … But this decision is not about me. It’s about the people of Minnesota. It’s become clear that I can’t pursue the Ethics Committee process and at the same time remain an effective senator for them,” Franken said. He said he would resign Jan. 2. Gov. Mark Dayton appointed Lt. Gov. Tina Smith as the next U.S.

senator to fill out the year remaining on Franken’s term. She says she will vie for the DFL endorsement to run in the fall election.

Capitol Two Minnesota legislators also said in November that they would resign, following allegations of sexual harassment. Sen. Dan Schoen, DFLSt. Paul Park, announced his plans to step down on Thursday, Nov. 21. Less than two hours later, Rep. Tony Cornish, R-Vernon Center, did the same. Cornish announced his plans to leave office as a way of taking responsibility for his actions. Schoen continues to deny allegations. When his actions were first brought under the public eye, Schoen had said the accusations of sexual harassment were either “completely false” or “taken far out of context.” Their actions came to light after several women went public with their own stories of sexual harassment. Rep. Erin Maye Quade, DFL-Apple Valley, and 2015 House District 56B candidate Lindsey Port — both of whom reported and publicly announced their stories of harassment — worked with Rep. Jamie Becker-Finn, DFL-Roseville, to call for the creation of a task force to address issues of sexual harassment at the State Capitol. In response to Schoen’s announcement of resignation, Maye Quade made a statement saying it wasn’t enough. “One senator’s resignation does not change the culture. I want to change the culture,” she said. Special elections were slated to fill both of the vacancies. Contact Tad Johnson at tad. johnson@ecm-inc.com or at twitter.com/editorTJ.

Domestic disturbance ends in suicide in Burnsville by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A domestic disturbance ended in suicide last weekend in Burnsville, according to police. Officers were dispatched shortly after 9 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 30, to a domestic disturbance with reports of rifle shots fired at a house in the area of Hilltop Road and Circle Drive.

Arriving officers learned that a woman who had been inside had gotten out safely, and a man with a rifle was still inside, said a Police Department news release. Police surrounded the house and advised neighbors to stay inside. Throughout the evening and into early Sunday, Dec. 31, officers were unable to make contact with the man. At approximately 3:15 a.m. officers

entered the home and found him dead from an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound. According to initial reports, multiple rifle rounds were fired from inside the home — some of which appeared to have gone through walls, penetrating a neighboring home. No one else was injured during the incident. Nearby homeowners who think their homes may have been damaged by the gunfire

are asked to call Burnsville police investigator Chris Biagini 952-895-4585. Police aren’t releasing the suicide victim’s name pending identification by the Hennepin County medical examiner’s office. In the sub-zero temperatures, police and firefighters were helped by homeowners who provided shelter and cooperation, police said.

Other agencies on the scene were the Dakota County Sheriff’s Office, the Dakota County Multi-Agency Assistance Group, the Minnesota State Patrol, the Scott and Carver County sheriff’s offices and Eagan and Bloomington police. Contact John Gessner at john. gessner@ecm-inc.com or 952846-2031.

Man charged with damaging ATM after unsuccessful withdrawal A St. Paul man was charged with a felony in Dakota County court after allegedly causing more than $1,000 worth of damage to an ATM at a bank in Eagan after he unsuccessfully attempted to withdraw $60. According to a criminal complaint, Eagan police officers were dispatched to an Eagan bank on a report of criminal damage to property Dec. 14. Nicholas Allen Norton, 36, allegedly attempted

to withdraw $60 from the ATM. When the transaction was unsuccessful, he inscribed an inappropriate word with a knife on the machine, according to court documents. He also appeared to tamper with the card slot and left a note inside the exterior doors stating he would be back for the money in the morning. Surveillance images identified the suspect as Norton, who was contacted Dec. 27. He confirmed

it was him on the images and the knife recovered from his vehicle was the one used in the night of the offense. He admitted he was intoxicated that evening. The bank confirmed that damage exceeded $1,000. The charge of criminal damage to property in the first degree (value reduced by more than $1,000) comes with a maximum sentence of five years in jail and a $10,000 fine.

Oxygen supply company has expansion plans for Eagan by Andy Rogers

SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

PurAir Products Inc., a medical-grade oxygen supplier, is making plans for a possible expansion in Eagan. Based in Kansas City, the company supplies liquid and gas oxygen to medical offices, home care providers, nursing homes and hospitals in the Midwest. Officials are considering leasing a 10,000-square-foot building in Eagandale Industrial Park at 909 Apollo Drive. They expect to hire about 10 full-time employees. The Eagan City Council approved a conditional use for the property allowing the company an outdoor bulk storage tank during Tuesday’s meeting. “It’s a typical use for this area,� City Planner Mike Ridley said.

Ordinance

In older subdivisions built in the 1960s and 1970s, the average lot size was smaller than it is today in residential neighborhoods. Over the years, if a homeowner wanted to add on a garage or bedroom addition, it would exceed the old standard of 20 percent lot coverage. The City Council wanted it to be easier for this type of reinvestment as long as the neighborhood approved. “It would accommodate building additions that would normally require a variance,� Ridley said. Another ordinance amendment would ease parking standards for multi-family developments and senior housing developments. Ridley said the proposal drops the amount of parking stalls required from two to 1.5 per unit and decreases the width standard from 10 feet to 9.5 feet. For senior housing, the requirement is now one stall per unit. The city has received recent requests for changing the parking ratios.

The City Council passed a pair of ordinance amendments to help ease both old and new development within the city. One would increase the maximum Contact Andy Rogers at andy.rogers@ building coverage to 25 percent for resi- ecm-inc.com. dential properties built before 1971.

Opinion Predictions for 2018 include football, political winners by Don Heinzman SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The year 2018 promises two blockbusters for Minnesotans: the Super Bowl and the November election. And I have theories about both as well as other topics sure to make headlines in the next year. As for the Super Bowl, the Minnesota Vikings will play and lose in the final minutes, breaking their record of four Super Bowl losses. The well-planned, two-week event will be marred only by unseasonably warm weather, causing the St. Paul ice castle to start melting. The national political spotlight will be on Minnesota when two U.S. Senate positions, the governor’s seat, constitutional officers and control of the Minnesota House and Senate appear on the ballot. I predict that a tidal wave of antiDonald Trump votes, particularly from white suburban, college-educated voters, will result in the Democrats controlling the U.S. Senate. DFL U.S. Rep. Tim Walz will barely beat Republican

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Don Heinzman Tim Pawlenty for the governor seat he once held. There will be a party control change in the Minnesota Senate, and Republicans will keep their majority in the House, buoyed by support from outstate voters. Second District U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis will lose his seat, and 3rd District U.S. Rep. Erik Paulsen will win in a close vote. Sen. Amy Klobuchar will be reelected, and she will be one of the favorites to run for the 2020 presidency. Tina Smith will be elected to the U.S. Senate seat previously occupied by Al Franken, thanks to a rise in women’s political involvement in Minnesota. There will be a huge turnout of voters at all levels, including precinct caucuses, county, district and state conventions.

Both national political parties will pour money into Minnesota. The Legislature, faced with a budget shortfall, will have to fund more aid for the sick and elderly as the Trump administration and a Republican-controlled Congress cut off some of those federal funds. Health care costs will soar as Congress and Trump try to save money by changing the federal funding of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) and grant money to states to decide how health care costs will be spent. In the Legislature, look for both the House and Senate to quickly introduce legislation to tighten laws targeting nursing homes and assisted living facilities, protecting elderly residents and mandating immediate reporting of any abuse of those vulnerable residents. Pressure will mount on the Legislature to pass a law increasing the age of purchasing tobacco products to 21 years, but it won’t happen, thanks in part to a campaign mounted by businesses that sell those products.

The Metropolitan Council will be under siege by conservatives, but, except for minor alterations, will stay intact. In the business world, look for retail to remain steady, despite increased online buying by consumers. The hospitality business, fueled by residual fun from the Super Bowl, will be good. On the downside, the poor will struggle even more as the price of affordable housing rises and more mobile home parks disappear. Efforts to increase the minimum wage more than the state law allows will stall as business groups, such as the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce, mount efforts to fight it. Finally, look for some, but not all, of these predictions to come true. Don Heinzman is a columnist for ECM Publishers Inc. Send comments to editor. sun@ecm-inc.com. Columns reflect the opinion of the author.

Letters Economic growth strong To the editor: In his Dec. 21 letter to the editor, Howard Schneider complains he’s seen no analysis to support U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis’ conviction that tax reform could pay for itself by boosting economic growth. Lewis’ conviction rests on the fact that “predictions of $1 trillion-1.5 trillion increases in (federal deficits) are incorrect because the analyses assume too little economic growth.” Strangely, in an apparent attempt to refute Lewis’ comments, Schneider actually names the very groups and agencies that, in fact, assumed too little economic growth in formulating their dire predictions. Whereas our economy has on average actually grown 3.2 percent annually since 1947, the Congressional Budget Office and Joint Committee on Taxation assumed baseline GDP growth of just 1.9 percent, while others Schneider cited used slightly higher baseline assumptions near 2.2 percent GDP growth. In other words, there are good reasons for Lewis and others to doubt the glum forecasts Schneider and fellow pessimistic DFLers like simply because they fit their ideological lenses. Indeed, the final three quarters of 2017 saw economic growth of 3 percent or greater. What is heartening, however, is to see the Democrats’ sudden concern for debt and deficits. Let’s see how sincere they are by how urgently and authentically they join the next critically important effort to reduce federal spending – a priority that’s time also has come. I look forward to being surprised.

Occupy. But there’s another group called “Indivisibles.” Bottom line, they are the same — the “resistance.” They call themselves “grassroots” and use all kinds of language that makes them look like a religious movement, to hide their agenda, which is to replace our government with a socialist-progressive system. They use the buzz words: social justice, sustainability, protecting reproductive rights, prevent voter suppression, etc. Indivisibles have books and formal guidelines outlining the “how to”: “pressure legislators” by using “the most effective tactics recommended by experienced congressional staffers” and how to “revolt” using a “virtual tool box” and “momentum-based organizing.” These books and guidelines are written by people that idolize: France Fox Piven, Hugo Chavez and Noam Chomsky. In the past, these “resistance” groups would be considered subversive.

journalism. This is a no small effort. The Minnesota group claims that they meet with Sen. Amy Klobuchar to “present our weekly concerns.” All this information is available by quick searches. Isn’t there anyone in the press that’s curious about these people, who funds them, how connected they are with Congress, what’s being pushed on our children by their agenda? When they show-up at demonstrations, will the press tell the whole story? How many more groups are connected? Today, the hot button is Russia, Russia and more Russia. Here’s a group, embedded in our country, causing disruption and chaos and very little is known to the general public. Please tell your neighbors, it’s time to sound the alarm.

part, by poor trade deals and in equal part by giving billions to terrorist nations like Iran. Our tax rate was 39 percent here as small business owners and that sort of taxation has run many small businesses into the ground nationwide. The business climate has been so hostile (anti-American) that these constant hikes in taxation were essential. Most of this deficit increase has been the result of extremely poor judgment and zero business experience on the part of the past several presidents. Obama personally drove the deficit like a Harley rider on steroids. There is literally nothing President Donald Trump could do to make this economy worse except continue on the errant and destructive pathway of the previous eight years and the prior past presidents greed and ignorance. Republicans have stood up and reclaimed America for themselves but mostly, their children and grandchildren. Live with it. Having more money in our pockets and watching our retirement (which is built on the success of the stock market as we all know) grow for the first time in 15 years is a miracle few of us can ignore. If it only lasted eight years it would be sufficient to get most of

To the editor: I find it hard to believe California U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s excuses for not supporting the tax bill, claiming it’s only for the wealthy, it will hurt charities and destroy the economy. As a retired person who raised three children as a single mother, I’m not even close to being wealthy, but my living expenses are low and I have enough left to donate to church and other charities. Based on figures from last year’s taxes, it appears that I will owe $900 less in taxes over the next year — and no longer need to itemize. On top of that, my 401K is growing much faster than I expected. That means that now I can afford to donate even more to charities I support. Since I now have to take a Required Minimum Distribution from my 401K, I find if I donate directly from my 401K, it will not only count toward my RMD, but it will also lower my taxable income, since it’s pre-tax money. That means less of my Social Security payments will be taxable. I get the benefit of the higher standard deduction, but I can still donate tax-free without itemizing. It’s win/win for me. And not just me. Based on passage of the tax bill, CVS Health plans to create 3,000 permanent new jobs; FedEx will ramp up hiring and invest in new equipment and technology; Boeing announced a commitment to invest $300 million in areas that directly benefit their employees, such as matched corporate giving, workforce training and education, facilities and workplace infrastructure enhancements; Bancorp,

Wells Fargo, and Comcast announced plans for large bonuses to frontline employees, minimum wage increases, increased charitable donations, etc. I have little doubt that other companies will follow. I’m sure there will be a few who won’t qualify for the lower taxes; but, we all benefit when the economy does well. I will remember how people voted and I’m grateful for those legislators like U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis who voted to pass this bill. CANDICE REYES Eagan

How will nuclear waste be managed? To the editor: I was pleased to read the editorial from Michelle Swanson that Xcel Energy continues to expand clean, renewable energy in Minnesota. However, I do take exception when she includes nuclear plants in with wind turbines as a clean energy. Although nuclear plants do not make carbon pollution, they do leave something else behind that is toxic to an extreme: radioactive waste. In the interest of educating the public, I ask that Swanson and other representatives of Xcel Energy explain how they are managing the tons of radioactive waste sitting at Monticello and Prairie Island and how they plan to contain it for the thousands of years that it will remain lethal. It is beyond disingenuous to pretend that nuclear is a benign source of energy. CHARLOTTE EASTIN Lake City

Education Picnic committee now feeds over 1,000 students District 196 Foundation seeks to raise more than $50,000

by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Since 2008, the District 196 Foundation has worked to eliminate barriers to learning by connecting the community with schools, and by providing students with food and books. The board got its start when five members of the district’s Budget Advisory Council formed an external committee to handle vendor contributions for the district staff’s backto-school picnic. Now, 10 years later, the foundation continues to serve people in District 196. Coleen Dolan, chairperson of the board, has been with the foundation since its creation. “We want to support the staff,� Dolan said. “They are the ones who took care of our kids.� Today, however, the foundation does more than fund a staff picnic once a year — they work with partners to feed the district’s hungriest students every weekend. They’ve grown from a picnic budget of $500 to a goal of raising $50,000 to support several programs. The foundation partners with local sponsors and The Sheridan Story to host the Weekend Food Program. On Fridays, they provide elementary students with food that they can share with their families over the weekend, when they don’t have access to free and reduced lunch. Currently, the Weekend Food Program is in 34 District 196 schools, and the District 196 Foundation funds the program for 12 of them. Board member Khia Brown said the foundation makes the program sustainable with reliable partners. “The foundation would love to find permanent sponsors for the schools

The foundation also provides students with books to read when school is out through its Summer Reading Program. From 2016 to 2017, the foundation and its partners donated books to nearly 3,000 District 196 students. Because students get to keep the books, they build up a little home library and provide their family members with books to read as well. Students come back to school in the fall with higher literacy proficiency, Dolan said. The programs are not the only part of the foundation that has grown; the number of board members has grown, and so has their vision for the future of the foundation. “We take our direction from the school district administrative team. They identify the gaps with the students in the district,� Dolan said. “We want to support the entire district — which is different than the school-based foundations.� About three years ago Dolan and her team began recruiting more members. Today, there are 13 mem-

District 196 Transition Plus program public hearing District 196 will hold three public hearings on the continued Flexible Learning Year calendar for the Transition Plus program. The public hearings will be 4-5 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 3; 4:305:30 p.m. Monday, Jan. 8; and 5-6 p.m. Thursday, Jan.11, at the Transition Plus program in the ATP building located at 5840 149th St. W., Apple Valley.

The Transition Plus program is for learners ages 18 to 21 with an Individual Education Plan (IEP). The district is recommending completion of a Flexible Learning Year application for continuation of the school year calendar that runs from August through June. This calendar has been in place since the program began in 1995.

bers on the board — 13 people with 13 different professions, experiences, backgrounds and skill sets. Sara Dziuk joined the board about a year ago. By day, she is the executive director of College Possible, a nonprofit organization that works with and supports low-income students on their path to a college degree. In her free time, she’s using her professional fundraising and organizational skills to reinvigorate the fund. “My passion is for the work of nonprofits, particularly for education equity. I have the opportunity to do that in my day job every single day by raising dollars and creating programs to promote equity,� Dziuk said. “The foundation’s focus is for education equity, so I get to take my professional expertise and have it impact my community in a really meaningful way.� Dziuk joined the board because she thought it would be a place where should could utilize her talents to make a difference. “I get to be part of an organization that is not thinking about one pocket or one community, but all parts of District 196,� she said. “We are serving all students with a focus on educational equity — making sure every student has what they need to succeed and thrive.� She’s brought her fundraising expertise to the table. “I could help us think through fundraising and opportunities that could

exist to secure more dollars,� she said. “It’s about the resources we are able to secure to put it back into our district and into our schools and into our community.� Khia Brown, director of Community Education for District 196, has been on the board for several years. She’s also one of three district employees who serve on the board as ex-officio members — liaisons between the board and the foundation (along with the superintendent and the director of finance). She helps keep the foundation going, from an administrative perspective, by keeping record of the meeting minutes and monitoring the foundation’s email and Facebook page. She said she does similar work in her job and on the board. “At Community Ed, a lot of what we do is extend learning in the classroom and by helping to support what happens during the regular school day,� Brown said. “A lot of the things the foundation is doing is to helping support students during their regular school day.� Kari Thompson is the newest board member; she joined this summer. She read about the foundation one day and was struck by the stories of kids who didn’t have books or food in her own community. Thompson runs a small business and works as a communications consultant. She got involved in the District 196 Foundation because she was passionate about sharing the information that she’d found so surprising — and the work community members are doing to take care of each other — with others. “It’s a huge untold story for us,� she said. She’s been using her professional communications skills to help the foundation market itself

in a way that will reach families, businesses and potential partners. They’ve created a video about they work the foundation does and made efforts to bolster their Facebook and Twitter accounts, as well as their website. “We’ve heard wonderful stories from social workers, principals, teachers — and we are trying to tell them,� she said. Thompson is also working with other members of the board to create a signature event. “We want to find something we can do to bring community together and make it more obvious we exist,� she said. She said the board has been able to work well together because the members are professional, hold each other accountable and they are dedicated to accomplishing tasks between each of the everyother-month meetings. “Everyone represents a different expertise,� Thompson said. “It’s a really nice mix of different skill sets.� Dolan said the revived board is important not just because of its size but because of the connections with the community it’s been able to form. “Our leverage is not just financial, it’s influence as well. We can do more if we are not doing it by ourselves,� she said. When the board cannot fund programming for a District 196 school, it finds sponsors, partners, donors and volunteers who can make it happen.

The goal

Dziuk knows the goal is lofty, but she’s confident that it will be met. “We are focusing on this ambitious goal of $50,000. With a lot more people working together around this cause and being passionate about this mission, Contact Amy Mihelich at I believe it is totally achiev- amy.mihelich@ecm-inc. com. able,� she said.

Teachers and staff appear to be on board. Each year district teachers and staff raise funds for local causes, the District 196 Foundation being one of them. In November, the district’s annual giving campaign saw a 60 percent increase in giving. Well over 150 employees made gifts directed to the foundation. With this support, a new program is already in the works. Through the Band for All initiative, the foundation collects used instruments, tunes them up and borrows them out to District 196 students who would like to participate in band but cannot afford an instrument. Dziuk is already looking forward to what new projects the foundation will be able to fund. “I think this is just the beginning,� she said. Dolan agreed. “Who are we, what do we want to be, what do we want to be when we grow up — we are getting that focus, and we are executing toward that,� Dolan said. The District 196 Foundation is looking to partner with local real estate agents, local banks and other business to secure donations, grants and support, but they are still looking for support from individual donors as well. For a donation of $130, a student and his or her family can have food on the weekend for the entirety of the school year. “When you think about the dollars that it takes and the impact that it has, it’s not a lot of money, but it goes a really long way,� Dziuk said.

Business Buzz Bank CEO appointed to task force

Hawkins named to bank executive group

Jeanne Crain, Bremer Financial Corporation’s chief executive officer, has been appointed by Gov. Mark Dayton to co-lead the Governor’s Task Force on Housing with Acooa Ellis of Catholic Charities. This task force will study the housing system in Minnesota and develop recommendations to increase access to safe and affordable rental housing, create more pathways to homeownership and improve housing stability and opportunity. “At Bremer, we believe homeownership is one of the cornerstones of strong communities,� said Crain. “Taking an active leadership role in the communities we serve is one of our company’s core beliefs. I’m honored to have the opportunity to partner with such a distinguished group of community leaders to tackle the critical affordable housing issues affecting individuals, families and economic vitality throughout Minnesota.� As part of Bremer Bank’s ongoing commitment to affordable housing, in March, Bremer Bank partnered with Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity on its new Home Loan Impact Fund, agreeing to purchase up to 500 below-market Habitat mortgages over the next four years. This commitment will more than double the number of local families that can partner with Twin Cities Habitat on affordable homeownership. Bremer Bank has branches locally in Eagan and Inver Grove Heights.

Indiana-based Old National Bank has named Jeff Hawkins to its Executive Leadership Group, which is comprised of Old National’s senior-most leaders responsible for helping shape all policy and strategy decisions for the company. Hawkins, who currently serves as president/chief operating officer for Anchor Bank, a division of Old National Bank, has more than 35 years of experience in the banking industry. He earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Minnesota and completed coursework at Minnesota State University, Mankato, and the University of St. Thomas. Hawkins joined Anchor Bank as a charter president over 20 years ago. He remains active in the community, as he is involved with the Minnesota State Fair Foundation, Dakota County Fair and statewide 4-H initiatives. In November 2017, Old National Bank, headquartered in Evansville, Ind., closed its partnership with Anchor Bank. In May 2018, Anchor banking centers and all its lines of business will officially become Old National Bank. Local offices are in Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Farmington and Lakeville.

Bank manager recognized Anna Garcia, manager of Anchor Bank Burnsville, was named Volunteer of the Year by the Burnsville Chamber of Commerce. Garcia, who has been with

Anchor Bank for five years, is a strong supporter of the chamber and Burnsville community. The chamber looks at who volunteers the most throughout the year, and Membership Manager Tricia Andrews said Garcia was the clear winner. “She puts her heart and soul in pretty much everything that she does,� Andrews said. Garcia’s contributions to the chamber include serving as an ambassador for the chamber, serving on the restaurant and decor committees for the Bite of Burnsville, serving as a member of the Women Empowered Committee, volunteering for the chamber’s Fall Fling event and the chamber’s Golf Classic. Garcia also helped out with the decor and logistics of the gala, where she was later recognized. Garcia was also named the 2018 chair of the chamber ambassadors.

Lakeville schools thrive with help from community by Kayla Culver SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Lakeville Area School District turned to the community during the 2017 year and the community showed its support for its schools. The year also brought on leadership changes. Andrew Sarnow took on the role as the district’s new executive director of business services. Sarnow was previously the chief financial officer at Green Bay Area Public Schools.

191, from 1A challenging jobs in the state of Minnesota and maybe even beyond,� said Gothard, who went from a 9,500-student district to one with more than 39,000 students. “And I, throughout my entire career, have taken on challenges. I think the results, I won’t say they speak for themselves, but I’ve been known to not shy away from challenges. I continue to learn, reflect, grow, each and every day. I will not come in and say I have all the answers, but I will say I’m committed to finding them.� “In four short years in Burnsville,� Gothard has “led significant culture change and made some pretty significant structural changes without a lot of conflict,� St. Paul School Board Member Mary Vanderwert told Minnesota Public Radio. She called Gothard a “healer� and “unifier.� When he arrived in District 191, Gothard was tasked with developing a school reorganization plan that led to a successful referendum in February 2015. By comfortable margins, voters approved a $65 million building bond, $52.5 million of which was used to expand and upgrade Burnsville High School, and a technology levy to raise $2.5 million annually over 10 years. The district redesign, branded VisionOne91, debuted in the 2016-17 school year, with a fouryear high school and new middle and elementary school grade configurations. Instructional technology was expanded and new career Pathway programs were introduced at the new-look high school, among other changes. Gothard’s farewell reception was held June 8 in the school’s airy new learning commons, part of the $52.5 million expansion. “Joe was hired to do what we needed,� said Savage Mayor Janet Williams, who attended the high school when it opened in 1957. “He did it in four years and developed the school district for the future.� Gothard exhaustively

Burnsville High School’s Quiz Bowl A team competed March 2 in state competition against St. Paul Academy. Burnsville won twice, 365-210 and 455-306, eliminating SPA from competition. Burnsville took fourth place among 139 teams in the Minnesota High School Quiz Bowl League Championship, held at BHS. On Feb. 23, the A team won its second South Suburban Conference Quiz Bowl Championship.

Vision One91 and Gothard’s visible leadership style elevated the district’s reputation, said Sahro Abdullahi, a Somali cultural liaison and parent in the district.

Successor Cindy Amoroso, whom Gothard hired as assistant superintendent in 2013, was the School Board’s choice to replace him as interim superintendent. In May the board approved a contract with Amoroso that began July 1 and expires June 30, 2019. Interim superintendents are typically hired for a year, Alt said, but Amoroso’s experience in the district — particularly with Vision One91 — justifies a longer contract. “Furthermore, as community members shared their perspectives on the upcoming departure of Superintendent Gothard, there was a clear groundswell of support around maintaining our continuity of work, with concerns expressed around even considering an external appointee,� Alt said.

Referendum A levy renewal and a second measure authorizing new school taxes passed easily on Nov. 7. The first of two ballot questions, for renewal of an expiring voter-approved levy that raises $7.3 million a year, passed with 75 percent of the vote. A second question to raise an additional $3.9 million a year in operating funds passed with 63 percent. Rejection of both questions would have forced budget cuts of more than $10 million for 2018-19, according to the district. Rejection of the second question only would still have forced cuts of $3 million to $5 million, including some 45 teaching positions, the district said. The district has spent down budget reserves in recent years to avoid such cuts. To balance the 201718 budget, the district says it left less than four weeks of expenses in reserve.

Culturally proficient schools Building cultural proficiency in District 191 schools is a work in progress — and while there’s been progress, educators say, work remains. The process began in 2014 and isn’t likely to take sustainable hold until 2020, Stacie Stanley, director of curriculum, instruction and support services, told the School Board on April 27. Charged with leading the district’s work to build a culturally proficient school system, Stanley took measure in 2014 of where the district stood. Based on staff surveys, student and family focus groups, principal interviews and crunching of test and other data, Stanley found unequal outcomes. There were learning gaps between student groups. Diverse student

groups were overrepresented in intervention programs and the district’s alternative high school. Some of the linguistically, culturally and ethnically diverse groups had subpar graduation rates. And diverse groups were underrepresented in College in the Schools enrollment, Postsecondary Enrollment Options and STEM courses, Stanley said. The 2015-16 school year was used to train district leaders in developing culturally proficient school systems, with full staff training this year and full implementation beginning next year, Stanley said. Staffers are coached to better understand their own beliefs, values and assumptions and how those affect their work with different student groups. An April survey of district teachers suggests the training is taking hold. Teachers were asked, on a scale of 1 (never) to 4 (daily), how often they’ve used the “high-engagement strategies� modeled during training. The average was response was 3.

Devin Delaney Burnsville High School senior Devin Delaney, 17, was found dead on Sunday, Sept. 17, in a dorm room at North Dakota State University in Fargo. Delaney, who was visiting a friend at the campus, died of cardiac dysrhythmia brought on by a heart inflammation most commonly caused by a virus, his father, Tom, said in an October Facebook posting. A star lacrosse player for the Blaze, Delaney, of Savage, was “the biggest role model on our team,� respected and loved by fellow varsity players and younger players coming up, said his coach, Cory Childs. Students gathered at the school stadium the night of Sept. 17 to mourn.

“It was a sight I will never forget,� BHS language arts teacher Allison Millea said in an email statement. “The pain on so many young faces was horrific, but the way they all came together to hug, cry, laugh and sob was amazing. Burnsville is unfortunately good at dealing with tragedy, but because of that, we are so supportive of one another.�

Choir director charged A Burnsville High School choir director faces felony charges for allegedly having sex with a 16-year-old student and sending nude photos of himself to another student. Erik Michael Akervik, 29, was charged April 12 with third-degree criminal sexual conduct and electronic solicitation of a child. Akervik, who had been a BHS music teacher since August 2013, then violated a condition of his release and turned himself in May 2 after an arrest warrant had been issued. Burnsville police learned on April 26 that Akervik contacted a 15-year-old male on Instagram and asked the boy to “follow� him on the social media application. Akervik, who posted $100,000 bail after his first appearance in court April 12, was to have no contact with minors under age 18. The 15-year-old was known to Akervik through Akervik’s work as a choir director at a Minneapolis church.

Middle school deans The daily presence of police officers at Nicollet and Eagle Ridge middle schools ended in 2017-18 when the district added deans of students to its middle school administrative teams. The district would end

contracts with Burnsville and Savage to provide an in-school resource officer at Nicollet and Eagle Ridge, respectively, former Superintendent Joe Gothard said in a March interview. A contract with Eagan to provide officers at Burnsville Alternative High School and Metcalf Junior High lapsed two years ago when city and school officials couldn’t agree on terms, he said. A dean at each of the three former junior highs, now grades six-througheight middle schools, will give the district a more comprehensive approach to student discipline problems, Gothard said. “We’re looking at building some capacity and some systems approaches at each of these schools around attendance, behavior and student achievement,� said Gothard, a former dean of students in Madison, Wisconsin. A few Nicollet parents feared the loss of a resource officer would leave the school less safe and add to teachers’ disciplinary load, they said at a School Board listening session in March. But Burnsville Police Chief Eric Gieseke endorsed Gothard’s plan. “I totally understand,� Gieseke said. “A lot of middle schools don’t have a full-time officer.� Some Metcalf Middle School parents voiced their concerns about disruptive student behaviors and inconsistent discipline at a board listening session in May.

Credit union Burnsville-based Firefly Credit Union opened its first student-run branch Feb. 1 at Burnsville High School. The branch is located at the entrance to the school’s new activity center. An exterior window display announces its presence. A Firefly automatic teller machine outside the office is available for anyone to use, with a fee for nonmembers. As nonprofits, credit unions claim financial literacy education — from reading a credit report to shopping for a home — as part of their mission, said Marty Kelly, Firefly’s senior vice president and chief marketing officer, who worked closely with the school and its DECA students to establish the branch. To that end, the presence of credit union branches in high schools has grown in recent years, he said.

Pre-kindergarten New state funding allowed the district to nearly double the number of 4-year-olds in its voluntary prekindergarten program in 2017-18. The district added 104 slots to the 116 it offered the previous year when it launched the program, acSee 191, 9A

Sioux Trail’s reading proficiency has grown from 53.2 percent in 2014. In math, 66.3 percent of students tested met proficiency, compared with

The logo also includes a new district motto: “One District. Infinite Possibilities.� Taschner said the motto intends to unify the large district — the fourth largest in the state — and attest to the countless opportunities it provides. The district’s website underwent a makeover, as did all of the websites belonging to individual schools in the district, to include the logo and reflect the “one district� sentiment while making them easier to navigate.

New technology

According to a report by the school district, the gap between the graduation rate of white students and all other subgroups of students decreased in District 196 last year: by 7 percent for black students, by 14 percent for Hispanic students, by 9 percent for students receiving English Learner services, by 10 percent for students receiving special education services and by 8 percent for students receiving free or reduced-price school meals.

Enrollment up With 28,644 students, enrollment in District 196 schools rose to a record high this year. The number of students enrolling in Rosemount-Apple ValleyEagan schools has been on the rise for five consecutive years. Nonresident students have been enrolling at increasing rates. In 2017, 2,258 nonresident students enrolled — nearly triple the 814 who enrolled in the 2007-08 school year a decade ago. Enrollment is up 1.6 percent, 462 students, from last year. With new housing developments within district boundaries, and more families choosing to open enroll in District 196 schools, the district predicts enrollment will continue to grow, Berenz said. Former State Demographer Hazel Reinhardt predicts that over the next 10 years enrollment could increase by as much as 15 percent as a result of new development, especially as the University of Minnesota sells portions of land from the UMore Park in Rosemount to developers.

In addition to updating the website, the district also updated its student information system, Synergy, in July. It also switched its alert system to SchoolMessenger — a program that seeks to provide better communication between parents and administrators. Converting to both new systems at the same time allowed for one cohesive data upload. It also incorporated several initiatives to enhance learning and communication. This is the second year of a threeyear implementation plan to provide a technological device to every student in grades four through 12. Students in grades 10, 11 and 12 received an iPad this year. Grades four, five and six will be added next fall to complete the implementation. The devices are available to students at no cost, and are funded by the November 2015 referendum. This distribution is a continuation of last year’s provisions for students in grades seven, eight and Capacity grows nine.

school, East Lake Elementary School, opened. The additions to the first two of the district’s five elementary magnet schools — Oak Ridge Elementary School of Leadership, Environment and Health Sciences and Echo Park Elementary School of Leadership, Engineering and Technology — came to completion this year. Additions to Deerwood and Woodland elementary schools also reached completion. They will provide the schools with secure entrances. Projects began at Valley Middle School of STEM, Apple Valley High School and Rosemount High School as well. Valley Middle 8th graders are currently attending school at Apple Valley High School to reduce the number of students in the building during construction. The projects will wrap up in 2018, prior to the start of the new school year. “These and other improvements from the 2015 referendum were made possible thanks to the generous support of our community,� Berenz said.

who do not graduate, 6 percent are continuing school and 2 percent had dropped out. Minnesota has an average high school graduation rate of 82 percent. The state’s goal is to achieve graduation rates of at least 90 percent overall and at least 85 percent for each subgroup of students by 2020. The district met the

state goal for all students in general, as well as four of the eight subgroups, including: Asian/Pacific Islander, white, black and Hispanic students. It did not meet the state goal for American Indian/Alaskan Native students, students receiving English Learner or special education services and students receiving free or reduced-price school meals.

Having fun isn’t hard when you’ve got a library card — especially when it is fine-free. The district partnered with the Dakota County library to provide a fine-free library card to every high school student. The cards gave students full access to all the resources available in the Dakota County Library system.

Sports Holiday roundup: Lightning goes by the book Eastview likely to take No. 1 girls hoops ranking by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Eastview’s girls basketball players and coaches are reading a motivational book called “Chop Wood, Carry Water: How to Fall in Love with the Process of Becoming Great” and looking for ways to apply its lessons to their season. “We’re on Chapter Eight,” coach Molly Kasper said. The book apparently doesn’t have a chapter outlining how to beat Hopkins, but if it needs one, the Lightning now could write it. A 66-56 victory over the Royals on Friday at the St. Olaf Holiday Hoops Classic was the highlight of a week that saw the Lightning improve to 10-0. Eastview, ranked second in Class 4A last week, likely will jump over Hopkins to No. 1. Eastview and Wayzata entered 2018 as the only undefeated teams in Class 4A. Eastview also defeated Northfield 60-52 and Hastings 55-28 in the St. Olaf tourney. Although the Lightning’s victory over Hopkins drew the most attention, the three teams it defeated in the tournament are a combined 28-6, meaning the team had to play well all three days. As good as last week was for the Lightning, Kasper said the book is helping keep the players grounded, reminding them there’s still a lot to do. “We’re focusing on the fact we’re only 10 games in, and we could play as many as 32” if Eastview reaches the final day of the state tournament, Kasper said. “It’s crazy. It feels like we’re almost done. What it means is we have a lot more days to come to practice, be with each other, and try to get better.” Four players scored 12 points or more in the Lightning’s victory over Hopkins. Eastview also was able to cut down on turnovers in the second – after losing possession 13 times in the first half, the Lightning turned it over just five times in the second half – which Kasper identified as a priority if her team was going to beat the Royals, something no Lightning team had done since 2013. Hopkins defeated Eastview twice last year, in overtime in the St. Olaf tournament and later in the state Class 4A semifinals. “In those games, about 65 percent of Hopkins’ points came in transition

I was really proud of the girls.” Senior forward Megan Walstad had 15 points and junior guard Emma Carpenter 14 for Eastview. Andrea Abrams had 13 points, including three three-point baskets, and Macy Guebert scored 12. Walstad also grabbed 12 rebounds. Hopkins guard Paige Bueckers, possibly the state’s best player even though she’s a sophomore, had a game-high 30 points. “With a player like Paige, you have to make her take tough, contested shots,” Kasper said. “And she made tough, contested shots. But when she made one, our players didn’t get frustrated. They just said, ‘Nope, this is our job. We’re going to keep playing.’” Walstad had 18 points, Guebert 17 and Cassidy Carson 14 as the Lightning held off Northfield in the opening round of the St. Olaf tourney on Thursday. Eastview finished up on Saturday by holding Hastings to 11 second-half points in the final-round game. Walstad had 17 points and 13 rebounds in the Hastings game and finished with 50 points and 34 rebounds for the three games. She was one rebound in the Northfield game short of having a double-double all three days.

Eagan concluded the tournament with a 3-1 victory over New Prague in the third-place game as Nick Sherek scored twice.

Bette Marie Hendricks Bradley

Myrtle E. (Storlie) Kelly

Bette Marie Hendricks Bradley, resident of Laguna Woods, CA, was passionate about family, liberal politics, reading, playing bridge, and quilting as exhibited by her beautiful patchwork life. She passed away quietly and peacefully from natural causes on December 23, 2017. She was 93 years young. The central focus of her piece work design were her three children who survive her: David Charles Bradley (Fort Collins, CO), Joy Bradley (San Juan Capistrano, CA) and Kip Bradley (Santa Barbara, CA). Nanny’s quilt pattern was further enhanced by her grandchildren: Colter Fleming, Nicoletta, Gabriella and Leyton Bradley. In 2012, she was saddened by the unexpected loss of her grandson, Brody Fleming. Bette’s vast network of friends formed the border of her life’s great quilt. She spent time enjoying many of her favorite hobbies and passions, and collected special memories from time spent quilting, at the Laguna Woods City Hall Library in search of the latest large print books, encouraging fellow members of an ostomy support group, learning about the latest and greatest technology via the Laguna Woods MAC Club, as well as keeping up to date and in touch with old neighbors from years living in Bloomington, MN. You are invited to join us to share Bette stories at her memorial on Saturday, January 6, 2017 at 11 a.m. at the Lutheran Church of the Cross, 24231 El Toro Road, Laguna Woods, CA. ,Q OLHX RI ÀRZHUV SOHDVH FRQVLGHU PDNLQJ D GRQDWLRQ to the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation. http://www. crohnscolitisfoundation.org/

The new Rosemount Steeple Center Gallery exhibition will feature Apple Valley photographer Rusty Fifield and Red Wing watercolor artist Dan Wiemer from January through March. A free opening reception will be held at the Steeple Center on Wednesday, Jan. 17, from 6-8 p.m., with artist talks at 7 p.m. Refreshments will be served. The exhibit and reception are being organized by the Rosemount Area Arts Council. Fifield is a longtime financial analyst with companies such as Springsted, Ehlert and Associates and currently as managing director and municipal strategist at Northland Securities. He said he has been taking photographs for a long time, but only recently has dedicated more time to his craft. “Some of the impetus came from turning 60 and thinking about the next chapter in my life,” he said. Fifield was diagnosed Parkinson’s disease several years ago, but he says that so far, the changes in his life have not been significant. “It does add a few new wrinkles to ‘still’ photography,” he said of living with the condition of the

I relish heading out in the dark hoping to find a spectacular sunrise to share.” Many of the images in the show are those of Fifield’s favorite places; several of them are in Dakota County. “There are amazing images all around us,” he said. “We just have to slow down, look and take the picture.” Fifield wrapped up a daily-photo-for-a-year project on his SmugMug website this summer. Many of the images are of landscapes, downtown Minneapolis and his family.

bachelor of arts degree in graphic design, he has gathered some of his favorite works together for this show. “My work is a reflection and response of my love of the natural world,” he said. “I want my painting to reflect an energy and directness.” He said he considers himself a landscape artist with most of his work created in watermedia. “I see firsthand the endless variety of ways to handle watermedia, and this excites me,” he said. He is a past president of the Minnesota Watercolor Society and has taught classes and workshops for 20 years all over Minnesota. “I play with the shapes and textures of the landscape,” he said. “I try to find rhythms in the scene that translate into exciting motifs.

On each table were piles of fruit, nuts, candy & fruit cake, & each of us got a package of cigarettes, any brand he chose. They gave me your telegram just before I sat down to eat, so I naturally enjoyed the meal all the more then – thanks for that, too.� Olsen figures he has enough material to keep feeding the website into 2021.

Philippines, and then they occupied Japan shortly after Japan surrendered.� Dip took officer training at Fort Bragg, earning the rank of lieutenant

colonel and shipping out to the Pacific in 1943, Olsen said. Dip left active duty in 1946, served in the Army Reserve and retired from the Army in 1978. “He wasn’t one of those reserved guys who wouldn’t talk about their experience in the war,� Olsen said. “He was open about it. I think he grew up a lot in his service, and that’s really where he kind of became himself, I think. He looked very fondly on it. He was kind of a scrawny kid and he ended up becoming an officer and learned leadership. I think it had a big effect on who he was in life.� After the war Dip earned a mechanical engineering degree from the University of Minnesota.
