Skateboarding may not be on everyone’s mind right now with snow covering the ramps, but there are big rides in store at the Eagan Skate Park in 2017. What those could be is up to park users. The Eagan Park and Recreation Department is holding a design meeting with the American Ramp Co. at 5:30 p.m. Jan. 19 at City Hall, 3830 Pilot Knob Road. The public is

But there are many factors that could delay the project, particularly the weather.

It’s not enough to make an all-concrete park, which would cost about twice as much, but Pimental feels skaters will be happy with it. “From what I understand, and I’m not a See PARK, 7A

A new era opened in 2016 for Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District 191. The district’s Vision One91 redesign debuted with the new school year, bringing an expanded Burnsville High School that now includes ninth-graders, grades six-through-eight middle schools and K-five elementary schools. Voters embraced the proposed changes in February 2015, approving a $65 million building bond and a 10-year technology levy that will raise $2.5 million annually. With the redesign came program changes such as Career Pathways options at the high school. It was also a year to remember the past, with the death of legendary teacher and football coach Dick Hanson.

As much as things change, they also stay the same in the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District. In 2016, district residents elected a first-generation immigrant to the School Board, the district’s 19th elementary school was under construction and received a name, more technology tools were introduced in the schools and the district’s students continued to earn awards and recognition for academic achievement. Longtime School Board Member Rob Duchscher set a special election in motion when he said on March 14 he would resign because he and his wife moved out of the district. Since his new Farmington home was outside District 196’s boundary, state law meant Duchscher had to give up his seat and a special

Before launching his political pitch, gun-control activist Bob Mokos picks through a collection of keepsakes. At least a dozen medals and some faded blue scoresheets attest to the Burnsville resident’s boyhood skills with a .22-caliber rifle, which the 67-year-old mastered while growing up in Chicago. A faded National Rifle Association certificate declares the young Mokos

an NRA-qualified sharpshooter. A newer document, from 2007, certifies him as a federal flight deck officer — a crew member authorized by the Transportation Security Administration to carry a weapon to defend airliner cockpits against violence and hijacking. “I just bring it out to show that when I speak, I speak with a certain amount of credibility,� said Mokos, an Air Force veteran and retired commercial pilot who keeps another piece of the collection — his .40-caliber Heckler and Koch handgun — under lock and key in another part of the house.

Mokos also showed photos of an older sister, Diane, and her four children. A former head nurse-midwife at Cook County Hospital, Diane was fatally shot in the head at close range on July 19, 1986, as she exited her car to do volunteer work at a Chicago church. The gunman, who then rifled through his victim’s purse, is unidentified 30 years later, Mokos said. After the murder, “I started looking into the gun problem in this country,� said Mokos, a Burnsville resident since 1982 who trained pilots and flight instructors in the Bob Mokos has medals from his competitive shooting Air Force and retired from days as well as pictures of a sister, Diane, who was murdered by a gunman 30 years ago.

Eagan police investigating robbery near school The Eagan Police Department is investigating an alleged drug exchange gone bad near Eagan High School on Tuesday morning. Officers responded to a report of juveniles who said they were robbed at gunpoint at about 9:35 a.m. at Northview Park just northwest of Eagan

High School and Dakota Hills Middle School. According to the Police Department, two 15-yearold victims and a 16-yearold victim said they were involved in an attempted drug exchange when one of three suspects pointed a gun at them and demanded valuables. Eagan police spokes-

man Aaron Machtemes said the suspects came away with some items from the victims. An unidentified caller, not one of the victims, made the initial contact with police. It is believed a gunshot was fired in the air, but no one was injured, according to police.

The suspects had left the area when police arrived. Officers were able to talk to the victims. Northview Elementary School is also located near the site of the incident, which occurred in a parking lot northwest of the schools. Students often park in the city-owned lot, which

is at Northview Park, Machtemes said. Eagan High School Principal Polly Reikowski said all students are safe and school is in session as usual. School resumed Tuesday after winter break. The parking lot was closed during the investigation and the school didn’t dismiss any students whose

vehicles were parked in the lot for travel between sites. It is believed the victims and the suspects knew each other and the meeting was planned. “We’re still working on identifying and locating the suspects,� Machtemes said Wednesday afternoon. — Andy Rogers

We want people to know that service is a big part of who we are. It’s not just a place to play.� Bakken, who also owns a park in Madison, Wisconsin, and owns the Rockin’ Jump franchise rights to Wisconsin and Minnesota, saw Eagan as a prime spot for a new location. “Eagan is one of the fastest-growing cities in the Midwest,� Bakken said. “The demographics are off the charts.� This is the first Rockin’ Jump franchise in Minnesota. While there are trampoline parks in Oakdale, Mounds View and Eden Prairie, this is the first park of its kind in Dakota County. “When I stacked everything up, I thought there was a gaping hole in the south of St. Paul,� Bakken said. “I’m 20 minutes from my closest competitor.� The Rockin’ Jump corporate headquarters is in Pleasanton, California. The company opened its first park in 2011 and has grown to 31 parks nationwide. For more information, visit eagan.rockinjump. com.

There’s a new way to bounce away the winter blues in Eagan. Rockin’ Jump Trampoline Park opened last week near the Twin Cities Premium Outlets and Gleason’s Gymnastic School at 2015 Silver Bell Road, Suite 195. Rockin’ Jump isn’t just a 28,000-square-foot room full of trampolines. “And you don’t have to be a kid to enjoy yourself,� owner Aaron Bakken said. While it’s a trampoline park at its core, it has several other features often not found in other parks. “It’s hard work to jump for an hour,� Bakken said. “It’s physically demanding, so we’ve incorporated a number of activities that don’t involve jumping.� The facility features jousting, a climbing tower with auto belays, an obstacle course, a dodgeball arena, basketball dunk lanes, a slack line and human hamster balls. Bakken said while most places have a foam pit, Rockin’ Jump has a giant air bag, which he feels is safer and faster to get off of. There’s also a large SoftPlay multilevel gym structure for kids 6 and younger, and an arcade for those needing a break.

Fallout from the heated exchange among Lakeville Area School District 194 elected officials that ended 2016 in dissension will kick off 2017. The board’s first order of business at its Jan. 10 meeting will be agreeing to board leadership positions; it is expected current Chair Michelle Volk will retain the position, as will Vice Chair Terry Lind, but the vote may not be unanimous. Board Member Judy Keliher at the Dec. 20 work session had requested she be appointed treasurer, replacing Board Member Bob Erickson in that role, and advocated for Board Member Kathy Lewis as vice-chair. Four other board members did not indicate support for Keliher’s proposals. Discussion became so heated at the meeting several residents in attendance recorded it and posted it live on social media. Keliher and Lewis expressed a lack of trust in fellow board members and said Superintendent Lisa Snyder submitted her resignation in November after learning from Volk she did not have support of the board to renew her contract. The board evaluated Snyder’s performance during an Oct. 11 closed session that lasted approximately 30 minutes and the issue was to be discussed

five years as a high school dean and trained teachers before moving to the district office in 1998 to help with curriculum. That role, which she anticipated to be a short stint, led her to discover her passion by helping develop curriculum. She delved into multiple projects and served under four superintendents: Carl Wahlstrom, James Bauck, Gary Amoroso and Snyder. “I love what I do,� Knudsen said before her last day. “I have loved ev-

ery single role I have had in the district.� Also retiring in 2016 was beloved Lakeville North band director Nathan Earp. Earp worked in District 194 for 37 years, after about seven years at Bloomington Lincoln High School where he had transformed their band program from an afterthought to winning competitions and being selected to perform at the presidential inauguration See 194, 5A

Beloved Lakeville North High School band director Nathan Earp retired after the 2015-16 school year. (Submitted photo) again in November, but was removed from the agenda before the meeting. Snyder said she chose not to enter into negotiations to renew her contract and had asked Volk to remove the topic from the agenda. Volk said she did not ask Snyder to resign and it was Snyder’s decision to leave the leadership post. Much of the board’s focus in the initial months of this year will be on hiring a new superintendent. The board is expected to hire a search firm by the end of January and begin seeking superintendent candidate resumes in February. After a discussion that included consideration of limiting candidates to those already working in the district, board members agreed to conduct a regional search for their candidate. The process is expected to include compiling a list of qualifications and

desired skills based on input from multiple groups, including staff, the public and district administration.

Middle schools Board members’ attention may also be focused on a potential levy renewal campaign this fall. The possibility arose during discussion of how to fund middle school principals’ proposal to redesign programming at the district’s three middle schools. Budget cuts five years ago eliminated 26 middle school positions and the team-teaching model. The principals have requested extending the school day, increasing electives and incorporating Project Lead the Way STEM curriculum for all middle school students and estimated the costs at around $2 million. Funds from recent levy elections have been devoted to restoring elementary

Opinion Thousands of friends, fans urged U of M to fire football coach by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

More than 2,500 alumni, students, educators, parents and other concerned people from 42 states signed an online petition, as of Dec. 28, urging the University of Minnesota to fire its head football coach, Tracy Claeys, which the university did on Tuesday. While many people were pleased that the University of Minnesota won the Holiday Bowl game, it’s clear from powerful, passionate comments on the petition that the university has suffered badly from the actions of some of its players and its coach. On Dec. 28, staff at the university’s athletic department did something foolish when Nancy Bitenc, a parent who helped write the petition, and her 9-yearold son tried to deliver the petition to the department office, as previously agreed to. As I watched, two university officials threatened to have her and her son arrested if they tried to deliver the petition to the athletic office – though just 15 minutes earlier, one of the officials had said this would be OK. Despite threatening arrest on trespass charges, University of Minnesota Associate Director of Communications Dan Reisig ultimately accepted the petition. Shocked by threats in a public, university building from Reisig and Sam Nolden, another athletic department staff member, Bitenc and her son then delivered a copy of the petition to President Eric Kaler’s office. Chief of Staff Amy Phenix accepted it and apologized that they had been threatened with arrest. Removing Claeys is only a first step. Many rightly urge an extensive review of and changes in the men’s football program. In a column written just before Christmas, I urged that Claeys be fired and that the university do a review of its football program. After the column appeared, some parents talked with me and decided to start a petition. Bitenc explained to me: “I’m doing this for my 9-year-old, who loves to play

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Joe Nathan hockey. I’m doing this because I want coaches and players to be models for others.” Bitenc noted that one of her concerns involves the recruiting process, which by contract Claeys had directed. In a discussion with me, Bitenc asked: “Why was an underage football recruit brought to ‘have sex’ with a young woman who had been drinking heavily? Why hadn’t the coach made clear that this is completely unacceptable?” Then there’s the issue of the tweet from Coach Claeys as the team was boycotting practice and threatening to boycott the game. For Bitenc, and many who signed the petition, Claeys gave players and the broader community the wrong message. As Bitenc explained: “His tweets should have made clear how disgusted he was by some team members’ actions. He should have defended women. He failed as a leader.” Thousands of people across the country agree. John Merrow, formerly education correspondent for the “PBS News Hour,” wrote on the petition that Claeys “will be terminated if the ‘U’ cares about integrity and its own reputation.” University of Minnesota President Eric Kaler and Athletic Director Mark Coyle should consider not just the university’s reputation, but also the impact of their decisions on fundraising. A person from Omaha who identified himself as a 2009 graduate of the university wrote on his petition entry: “(I’m) now in a position to donate more significant assets to the programs and charities that I believe in. As a lifelong and diehard Minnesota supporter that now has a daughter, I’m sickened by the stance that Claeys took to ‘support his players.’ … If things do not change, our annual gift will go to my wife’s alma mater (in

Nancy Bitenc and her son talk with members of the media Dec. 28 at the University of Minnesota. (Photo by Joe Nathan) Nebraska) and I’ll encourage my fellow alumni to reconsider their donations as well.” Many other university alumni and parents, rural, suburban and urban, who signed the petition made similar comments. A suburban Twin Cities woman wrote: “My family provides significant financial support for the university. I could not find this incident more deplorable and sincerely hope the university will take the only reasonable stance here and terminate this coach.” But the team won its bowl game. Should the university had been pleased and retained the coach? Another person who signed the petition, who identified herself as a medical doctor and a graduate of the university’s medical school, spoke for many: “What happens on the field with the coach is no longer relevant. There is a ‘loss of confidence’ in his leadership, and he must

go. ... The president and the AD (athletic director) also have demonstrated poor leadership.” She urged “an examination of where leadership failed at every level with corrective actions to effect change regarding sexual assault and athletic teams.” The petition is at http://bit. ly/2hMeunX. Athletic Director Coyle, President Kaler and university regents should read the comments on this petition. They did the right thing, for the university, current and future students, faculty and Minnesota taxpayers by firing Claeys. Now they need to do the rest of what the doctor, quoted above, recommended.

Rahn staffer makes finding a book easy by Don Heinzman SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Many staff members in BurnsvilleEagan-Savage School District 191 go out of their way to make learning fun and exciting for their students, many times spending their own money to do it. One example is Dianne Kersteter, media educational assistant, who joined the Rahn Elementary School staff this year and brought with her more than $1,000 worth of 60 stuffed storybook characters that help the younger students find book titles. For example, students find the “Horton” books under the stuffed Horton. They go to Dr. Seuss to find “Cat in the

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Keith Anderson Hat.” They find the popular “Paddington” books when they find the stuffed Paddington. Popular “Clifford” books are found under Clifford, Cleo and T-Bone. To find the popular “Franklin” titles students find a turtle (Dianne is looking for a Franklin). She loves to make the “library a fun

and welcoming place.” That’s why she began to buy book characters eight years ago when she needed help as a teacher of 30 kindergartners in Minneapolis. At first she paid $25 for one book character. Soon others, including her mother-in law, Margaret, were finding characters for Dianne to bring to school. Now Dianne buys low-priced books for the students through the Kohl’s Cares for Kids program. Dianne loves to read on her own time, but lately she’s been reading children’s books to keep up with the popular authors and titles and find the right stuffed characters. She is a graduate of Park High School, has a bachelor’s degree in English and el-

ementary education from the University of St. Thomas and a master’s in library science from St. Catherine University. She and husband Bart have two children, Maddie and Justin. As she watches students look for storybook characters to help them locate books in the remodeled, modern Rahn library, she sums up the project: “I enjoy reading to the kids and helping them find the books they love.” For more information, contact Dianne at: dkersteter@isd191.org. Don Heinzman is a member of the ECM Publishers Editorial Board and a Minnesota Reading Corps tutor this year at Rahn Elementary in Eagan.

Letters Rethinking nuclear power To the editor: An interesting video is available from Michael Shellenberger on TED talks, and I encourage each of us, particularly incoming legislators, specifically Congressman-elect Jason Lewis, and members of executive branches at the various levels of government, to view the video. In it, Shellenberger speaks on the use of nuclear power, which has undergone startling advances in technology. These advances vastly reduce the half-life of waste materials, as noted by Joe Shuster of New Prague, in his now-older

book, “Beyond Fossil Fuels.” Though Shuster has passed away, his daughter carries on. This newer, safer nuclear technology uses thorium and other substances, rather than the uranium that has given us problems over the years. Shellenberger notes that over the next 40 years or so, many of the world’s nuclear power-generating plants will be retiring. Despite their dangers, they produced power that did not add to the carbon in our atmosphere. Now with the new technologies, being tested enthusiastically by Chinese scientists, many of whom were educated here, a viable resource is emerging.

While understandably shy about testing these new technologies, they may herald a new, safe, economically viable method with encouraging possibilities for people all over our shrinking world. The more people begin to investigate and understand and demand the use of these new methods, the faster we will slow down the mushrooming problem of atmospheric carbon. Citizens, our legislators and executives in business and government may be able to pass on the kind of world to our grandchildren we truly hope for. PAUL HOFFINGER Eagan

SUN THISWEEK - Burnsville - Eagan January 6, 2017 5A

MOKOS, from 1A Delta Airlines in 2010. After the Sandy Hook school shooting in Newton, Connecticut, in Dec. 2012, Mokos said he watched in disbelief as Congress rebuffed President Obama’s gun-control proposals, including universal background checks on firearms purchases — the so-called gun show loophole that exempts private, “secondary market� sellers from doing background checks on buyers at gun shows or other venues. “It’s just a disgusting feeling,� Mokos said. “ ‘What is going on, why can’t we do anything?’ That’s what spurred me to get involved with an organization. And that’s why I looked for and found Everytown.� Mokos is part of the Survivor Fellowship Program of Everytown for Gun Safety, a U.S. nonprofit formed in 2014 through the merger of Mayors Against Illegal Guns and Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. After receiving training in March in Washington, D.C., Mokos said he’s one 194, from 3A parade. He tried to exit LNHS quietly, during the summer, but the hundreds of current students and adult graduates from both schools made sure he knew how much he affected their lives. Band membership blossomed from 35 to hundreds when Earp came to LNHS. He said he welcomed everybody who wanted to join as long as they were willing to work hard. Under Earp’s leadership, LNHS band students took 38 band trips to perform in high-profile events including the Presidential Inauguration, Tournament of Roses Parade in California, Gator Bowl,

Fellows are trained to tell their survivor stories and promote Everytown’s agenda — which includes universal background checks and laws that prohibit domestic abusers from getting guns, as well as defensive measures such as fighting federal reciprocity proposals that would force each state to

recognize concealed-carry permits from every other state. “The NRA, pro-gun people — and I’m not anti-gun — they think that any type of regulation and restriction is going to lead to this slippery slope where the government’s going to come and take all the guns away,� Mokos said. “You know, we’ve got 350 million guns in this country. They’re not going to take

the guns away. We’ve just got to put some common sense back into this.� As a newly minted activist Mokos testified in April at an informational hearing of the Minnesota Senate Judiciary Committee on bills to expand background checks and establish gun violence protective orders against people in domestic violence cases.

ment floors and stairs and cracks near windows. Water infiltration happened so frequently in the orchestra pit that staff built multiple dams on the floor to direct water toward a sump pump. On Sept. 6, the rainy first day of school, Lakeville South staff discovered an eight-inch rooftop crack that soaked about 24 third-floor ceiling tiles and the floor. The tiles were replaced and buckets placed on the floor to capture water as the floors were dried. Baumann said the district is planning to waterproof the orchestra pit after determining the source of the leaks, which could be a 45-foot-long planter filled with evergreen bushes outside and above the

orchestra pit by the front of the school. The district’s earliest opportunity to fund the orchestra pit repairs is this summer, likely using carryover balances from other projects. The district is also planning this summer to repair and reconfigure the metal ceiling grid in the A-wing that has shifted and replace about 175,000 square feet of carpeting at Lakeville South. Some of the repairs, including crumbling concrete stairs and a retaining wall, not expected to be funded until 2019.

Repairs District 194 adjusted its budget by $55,000 to address some of the multiple maintenance issues at Lakeville South High School brought to the district’s attention in April. Lakeville South, the district’s newest school built in 2004 for $42.3 million, was found to have numerous issues including roof leaks, water in the orchestra pit, cracks in ce-

measures criticized them as first steps toward a public registry of gun owners, according to news reports. The legislation, proposed by two DFL senators, went nowhere in 2016, and Mokos admits that the November elections in Minnesota and nationally didn’t tilt in his favor. “We just need another election,� he said, citing statistics Everytown says demonstrate that states with universal background checks have comparably fewer gun-related suicides and killings of women and police officers than states without them. “Every day, 90-something people die at the hands of a gun in this country. Granted, two-thirds of them are suicides, but that’s still gun violence.� Everytown claims some victories in November, including passage of “gun violence protection� ballot measures in three of four states where they were on the ballot. Mokos’ daughter, Michelle, and wife, Cindy, have joined Bob’s cause. The trio marched in the Burnsville Fire Muster Parade in September, representing Everytown and

Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. “We got some boos, but some hurrahs,� said Michelle, of Burnsville, who bristles at suggestions by the NRA that arming some school authorities is the best protection against mass school shootings. “I have three kids in school,� at St. John’s in Savage, she said. “It worries me that they want to put guns in school. We already have to do these safety drills — there should be no reason to have to do those. That really scares me.� Bob has also spoken to Burnsville Rotarians and hopes to address a Masonic group this month. He addressed a Moms group on July 16, the 30th anniversary of the death of his sister, nine years his senior. “She had a very special place in my heart,� Mokos said. “I don’t know if that’s because of where I was in the pecking order, or my youth, or what, but I felt that she was the most caring and lovable person I knew.�

Center for Advanced Professional Studies opened to offer high school juniors and seniors in each district an off-campus work immersion program. The program, designed to include curriculum that meets state requirements while incorporating realworld profession-based work experience that readies students for careers in high-wage fields where workers are needed specifically in the metro area. Students had two pathways from which to choose the first year, health care or business, but staff is proposing adding technology and design next year. District 194 also made big changes at Orchard Lake Elementary in 2016, making Impact Academy, the district’s hands-on

teaching method offered as an option to being the only teaching method at the school. Students within the school’s boundaries who desired a traditional learning method were bussed to Christina Huddleston Elementary. Major remodeling work was done to allow open space without desks in rows and furnishings like couches and tables to encourage group learning. Students in the program are grouped by ability, not age, essentially eliminating grade levels. The program had operated alongside traditional teaching methods as a choice since 2013.

196, from 1A election was slated. “It was a hard decision, but a good decision,� Duchscher said. “It’s a really good move for my family.� The Duchschers lived in District 196 for 34 years — first moving to Eagan in 1982 and then Rosemount seven years later. Duchscher, chief information officer at Eden Prairie-based Starkey Hearing Technologies, was first elected to the School Board in 1999. “I’m a big advocate of public education,� he said. “I will miss being a part of a district that — quite frankly — is doing well.� Five months later, Sachin Isaacs, a first-generation immigrant from India, won a seven-way special School Board election during the Aug. 9 primary. Isaacs, who had unsuccessfully run for School Board in 2015, won with 28.79 percent of the vote, while the closest competitor was Wendy Brekken of Inver Grove Heights with 19.57 percent. “I’m incredibly happy and humbled and honored to have gotten this privilege,� Isaacs said at the time. Isaacs emigrated to the United States in 1999 on a student visa and scholarship to attend Winona State University. There he met his future wife, earned a bachelor’s degree in business and went on to receive a master of business administration from the University of St. Thomas. The senior product manager of clinical assessments at NCS Pearson is the only School Board member with children currently in district schools. His oldest daughter is a first-grade student and his youngest is in preschool. He is the first new School Board member elected in District 196 since Gary Huusko was elected in 2011.

New school The district continued building toward the future with construction nearing completion on “Elementary 19,� which officially earned the name East

Sachin Rob Isaacs Duchscher Lake Elementary School in December and current Deerwood Elementary Principal Miles Haugen was selected to lead the school in November. The school, which will open in fall 2017 at the southwest corner of the intersection of Diamond Path and County Road 46 in Lakeville, takes its name from the nearby East Lake. It is being constructed to relieve overcrowding at five elementary schools and prepare for anticipated student growth in the southern part of the district. In November, Haugen learned he was the district’s choice to serve as its principal. “It’s pretty exciting to have a chance to open a building,� Haugen said at the time. He said it’s an opportunity to get to know new families and students and collaborate with them in building a new community. “You don’t get that opportunity very often,� said Haugen, who has worked in a number of different schools but never a new one over his 32 years in education.

Technology The district continued its rollout of issuing district-owned iPad Minis to students as those in grades 7-9 received the mobile technology in the fall. This is the first year of a three-year implementation plan to provide oneto-one technology access for fourth- through 12thgrade students. Grades 10 through 12 will be added in fall 2017, and grades 4 through 6 in fall 2018. Students in pre-kindergarten to third grade will have increased access to technology, but not at a 1-to-1 ratio. Funding for the iPad Minis comes from the $5 million per year, 10-year capital project levy that was part of the November

Ex-Apple Valley wrestler charged with domestic assault Alleged incident occurred at the high school by Andrew Miller SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A former highly ranked wrestler for Apple Valley High School has been charged with domestic assault following a Dec. 19 incident at his alma mater where he was assisting at a wrestling team practice. Davionte Young, 21, of Rosemount, allegedly

choked an ex-girlfriend who’d attended the practice with him during a verbal dispute that turned violent, according to a criminal complaint. In her statement to police, the woman said she and Young had dated for about two years but had broken up recently, and that Young was home on leave from the military during the holidays. The two went to the wrestling practice together Dec. 19, the woman told police, and while at the

high school she confronted Young about messages on his phone and an argument ensued. The argument turned physical, she reported, with Young grabbing her by the arms and hair, then forcing her into a locker area where he grabbed and squeezed her throat with one hand while pulling her hair with the other. Young released his grip when she fell to the ground, but when she got to her feet a short time later he again grabbed her

throat, applying enough pressure to cause her to stop breathing, the woman alleged. She experienced “a large amount of pain� during the incident, the complaint said. Eventually, Young and the woman left the school together, according to the complaint. The woman reported the incident to police three days later, on Dec. 22. An Apple Valley officer who took the woman’s statement observed several injuries consistent with

the assault she described, including a bruise around the front of her throat and bruising on her arms, the complaint said. On Dec. 23, the woman went to the Apple Valley Police Department to have photos taken of her injuries. While having photos taken, she got pale, had to sit, and became nauseous, and a medic was called in for treatment. Young was charged Dec. 23 with domestic assault by strangulation, a felony. If convicted, he

faces a maximum penalty of three years in prison and a fine of $5,000. As a high school wrestler, Young won an individual section title at 152 pounds in 2014, advancing to the state tournament where he took fifth place. Following high school, he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps. Young could not be reached for comment as of press time Wednesday. Email Andrew Miller at andrew.miller@ecm-inc.com.

PARK, from 1A

park projects last month as part of its capital improvement plan. Local skaters actually got the ball rolling after showing up to various meetings in 2016 to voice their desire for an updated park. A petition started by Eagan resident Ben Silverglate on Change.org with the hope of expanding the park and building a concrete park with new obstacles gathered nearly 400 supporters. The petition stated, “The community will benefit as people of all ages have a place to enjoy skateboarding, scootering and BMX rather than riding on private property or leaving our community.� “It’s good to see young people involved in the civic process,� Pimental said. “We’re redefining our ef-

forts to engage people throughout the process.� The city is contracting with American Ramp Co. of Joplin, Missouri, to help design the park. Its work can be found at www.americanrampcompany.com. The ongoing plans can be found on the city’s website at www.cityofeagan. com/parks-recreation/ park-projects.. The Parks and Recreation Department plans to hold other public meetings and open houses during the winter and spring. The department also has other large improvement projects slated for 2017, including reconstruction of the Bridle Ridge Park building, improvements to the Thomas Lake Pavilion, nature trail connections throughout Patrick Eagan Park, a

nature-play area at Patrick Eagan Park, Wi-Fi at the Eagan Art House, reconstruction of one of the Goat Hill Park baseball fields and new bike racks throughout Eagan parks.

skater, there’s a modified, hybrid plan with a variety of different modular pieces that are really nice,� Pimental said. People of all ages can be found skating, riding a BMX bike or freestyle scootering at the park, located at Lexington-Diffley Athletic Field near the water tower. It’s close to both Eagan High School and Dakota Hills Middle School. “I don’t think I’ve ever been there when it’s not in use (when the weather allows),� Pimental said. “After school during the spring and fall, you can find 20 people there.� The park is open during regular park hours, and it’s free of charge. The City Council approved funding for various

by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The holiday season might mean time off from classes, but for most high school teams it’s not time off from competition. Local teams competed in a variety of holiday tournaments across Minnesota last week. Following are some of the highlights:

Burnsville Guard Matt Baisch scored 22 points as the Blaze routed Rochester Century in the second round of the Rotary U.S. Bank Holiday Classic boys basketball tournament in Rochester. The victory gave Burnsville (3-6) a split of two games in the tourney. Burnsville’s girls basketball team (3-5) also played in the Rochester tourney and split two games. Emma Fee scored 20 points as the Blaze drubbed Rochester Century 69-37 in the opening round. The girls hockey team won two of three games and finished second to Apple Valley in the Burnsville Invitational. Sloane Taylor had four points (two goals, two assists) and Abigail Tucci scored twice in Burnsville’s 7-2 victory over Faribault in the second round.

Eagan The Wildcats split two games in the Bethel Holiday Classic boys basketball tourney, with their 73-44 victory over St. Francis breaking a four-game losing streak. Jaren Tschetter scored 24 points in the St. Francis game as Eagan improved to 3-5. The girls hockey team won two of three games to finish fifth in the Eden Prairie Midwinter Meltdown. Ashley Larson made 35 saves in a 2-0 victory over Cretin-Derham Hall in the second round. That victory broke a five-game winless streak for the Wildcats, now

Eagan won two of three games at the South St. Paul Premier Tournament as the boys hockey team improved to 6-4 overall. Nick Sherek and William Randall each had a goal and assist as the Wildcats defeated South St. Paul 4-0 in the third-place game, outshooting the Packers 49-9.

Eastview Hopkins outlasted Eastview 65-60 in overtime in a matchup of the top two teams in the Class 4A girls basketball rankings at the St. Olaf Holiday Hoops Classic. The Lightning trailed by eight points with about two minutes remaining before coming back to force the overtime. Allie Pickrain scored 19 points and Rachel Ranke had 14 for Eastview. The Lightning, 8-1 overall, beat New RichlandHartland-Ellendale-Geneva 71-39 and Hastings 67-44 in its other two games at the St. Olaf tourney. Mason Carpenter scored 22 points, Jameson Bryan had

19 and Brady Miller added 18 as Eastview defeated Centennial 81-78 in the final round of the Augsburg Holiday Classic boys basketball tourney. Eastview was 1-2 in the tournament and went into this week’s play 3-6 overall. The wrestling team made its annual trip to the Bi-State Classic in Wisconsin, placing third in Division 1 (the largeschool class) and seventh of 60 teams overall. Mike Delich went undefeated in six matches to win the 195-pound championship. Alex Lindstrom was 5-1 at 170 and finished third.

Apple Valley

Apple Valley a regular-season sweep of its two games with the Blaze. The wrestling team went 5-1 at the Clash Duals in Rochester and finished in fifth place. The Eagles’ only loss was 35-30 to St. Edward of Ohio, the nation’s thirdranked team (Apple Valley is 33rd in the InterMat national rankings). Gable Steveson and Nate Larson both were 6-0 in the tournament; Steveson was named to the all-tournament team for the third year in a row. The boys basketball team split two games at the Granite City Classic in St. Cloud, defeating Madison East 67-37 and losing to Maple Grove 103-87. Apple Valley (6-2) was second and Maple Grove seventh in last week’s state Class 4A rankings. Junior guard Tre Jones had 35 points in the Maple Grove game.

Senior goalie Taylor DeForrest earned three shutouts as the Eagles won the Burnsville Invitational and moved above .500 at 9-7. DeForrest stopped 24 shots in a 1-0 victory over Burnsville, 11 in a 7-0 victory over the Western Wisconsin Stars and 18 in a 2-0 victory over Burnsville.

Apple Valley girls make a bold statement Fifth-ranked Eagles beat Centennial in holiday tourney by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Seats on the Apple Valley girls basketball bandwagon are still available. The Eagles understand why they’ve been off the radar the last few years as championship-contending teams such as Hopkins and Eastview grabbed headlines. But this year their play demands that people pay attention. Apple Valley, ranked fifth in Class 4A, improved to 9-1 with a convincing 81-67 victory over third-ranked Centennial in the championship game of the Roseville Holiday Classic last Friday. “We haven’t gotten a lot of recognition over the years and maybe that’s deservedly so,” coach Jeremy Gordon said. “We’ve been around a .500 team. I think they’re taking that personally now. They want to go out and prove people wrong.” The Eagles were 15-13 last season and a combined 18-37 in the two seasons before that. But they emerged from it as a mature, determined group, their coach said. “They’re the same kids, but they were going .500 as sophomores. Now they’re seniors,” Gordon said. “They’ve jelled as a team, they’re understanding how to play with each other and they’re understanding game situations. And, honestly, the work ethic. They have high aspirations, high expectations, and they’re working for it in practices and games.” Centennial, a taller team, crashed the offensive board to take an early lead in Friday’s game. But the Cougars started struggling to get their shots to fall, and Apple Valley took over. By halftime the Eagles were up 41-29, and they maintained a secure lead most of the second half.

(Photo by Mike Shaughnessy) The Cougars also had trouble slowing down Eagles junior forward Brynne Rolland, who scored 21 of her gamehigh 33 points in the first half. “We look for her every game,” Gordon said. “She gives up some inches to a lot of girls, but she’s got such great moves. If they play behind Brynne, her turnaround shot is awfully good. And she does a great job of sealing, so when they (play in front of her), she gets that seal and Lyndsey (Robson) is such a great passer she can get it over the top.” “I think I can do strong things in the post,” Rolland said. “Our guards are great at passing, and if we just get it in there, I know I can finish it.” Robson, a senior guard and the Eagles’ leading scorer

Centennial had won its first nine games, most by large margins. Before playing Apple Valley, the Cougars’ closest game was a 14-point victory over Woodbury in the Roseville tourney semifinals. Although Apple Valley appears to function best in a fast-paced, high-scoring game, the Eagles’ biggest strides might have been made on defense. According to Gordon, as recently as a couple of years ago the Eagles were one of the state’s worst defensive teams. They’ve been trying to address that ever since. Asked if she was aware of how poorly Gordon thought the Eagles used to play defense, Rolland laughed and said yes – and then acknowledged her coach probably was right. “We’re focusing a lot more on defense,” Rolland said. “If we lock up on defense like we’ve been doing, and that’s all we’ve been practicing, our offense will fall like it has. We’ve been more consistent on defense, and I think that’s helped us win games.” Much of it has to do with positioning, and keeping opponents away from the places where they like to shoot, Rolland added. So far, it’s working. The Eagles also beat a well-regarded St. Michael-Albertville team at the Breakdown TipOff Classic in December and beat seventh-ranked Lakeville North 67-60 in South Suburban Conference play. They have one more game remaining against North and will face second-ranked Eastview twice, Jan. 27 and Feb. 24. The Eagles see no reason their strong play can’t continue. “The confidence has been there all season,” Gordon said. “It’s a testament to our captains, and the whole team. There’s a lot of positivity.”

with a 19.3 average, found more opportunities to attack the basket in the second half when Centennial tried to contain Rolland. She finished with 22 points, exceeding 20 for the fourth time in the last five games. Sophomore guard Megan Baer scored 11 points for the Eagles, who were able to win without senior forward Sara Teske, who averages more than 13 points a game. Teske has missed Apple Valley’s last four games because of an injury. Robson had 21 points in Apple Valley’s 60-53 victory over Andover in the Roseville tourney semifinals Dec. 29. Senior guard Erin Baxter scored 22 points as the Eagles Email Mike Shaughnessy at beat Eden Prairie 78-64 in the mike.shaughnessy@ecm-inc. com. first round.

Nordic skiing has one of the shortest seasons on the high school calendar, so there isn’t a lot of time for athletes to adapt to the expectations of a new coach. Fortunately for Burnsville’s girls and boys, the acclimation process sped up because the new head coach, Derek Schlager, has been in the program – and the school – for several years. Previously, he was an assistant coach for the Blaze skiers, and he’s also an assistant cross country coach. He inherited several skiers that were on Blaze girls and boys teams that qualified for the 2016 state meet. “I knew it was a really good group of kids,” Schlager said. “They’re dedicated. It’s not always easy to train in the conditions you want, but they’ve done a very good job of keeping their spirits up. They’re not only doing what they need to do, they’re helping our younger skiers, too.” Conditions have ranged from subzero cold to rain that melted some of the snow on the trails, but Nordic skiers have seen worse winters for their sport. The South Suburban Conference has had four meets scheduled so far this season. All have been held, although the first one in December was on roller skis because of lack of snow. “As a coach, I’d like to have two or three weeks of training on dry land before we start skiing,” Schlager said. “Five weeks of dryland is a lot, but we have an experienced group that has been through this before. They know what they need to do for us to get where we need to be at the end of the season.” Burnsville tied for fifth place in the girls team standings and were 15th in the boys competition at the 2016 state meet. Several of the Blaze’s top skiers, including junior Kelly Koch – who was 11th in the 2016 state girls pursuit race – are also competing in U.S. junior national meets. They’re being brought along slowly in the high school season with the knowledge that the season’s biggest meets are still a few weeks away. South Suburban Conference teams returned from winter break for a chilly 5-kilometer classic race Tuesday at Hyland Recreation Area in Bloomington. Blaze senior Krista Holmstrom was the girls medalist, finishing in 16 minutes, 30 seconds. Holmstrom’s sister Hanna, a sophomore, was third in 17:31. Koch placed 11th in 18:19. Blaze senior Nate Blichfeldt, 11th in pursuit at state last season, was fourth in the boys classic race in 13:44. Thomas Ryan, a junior, was 13th in 15:44 and senior Matthew Qualley was 15th in 15:56. Andrew Qualley and Matthew Berg were 20th and 21st. Burnsville was second in both team competitions, with the girls finishing one point behind Eastview and the boys coming in 34 points behind Eagan. All South Suburban Conference teams are scheduled to compete in the Loppet Invite at 9:30 a.m. Saturday at Wirth Park in Golden Valley. The conference will have a freestyle race Jan. 12 at Hyland before going to Valleywood Golf Course in Apple Valley for its True Team invitational on Jan. 14.

Eagan Four Eagan seniors finished in the top 10 of Tuesday’s boys classic race at Hyland, leading the Wildcats to their team victory. Patrick Acton was medalist in 12:58, with Ryan Steger second in 13:39. Dylan Schuller tied for sixth in 14:58 and Ryan Conroy was 10th in 15:22. Ana Brakke (fourth, 17:34) and Gabby Kraemer (eighth, 18:05) were top-10 finishers for the first-place Eastview girls team. Eagan girls ski during the regular season as part of the combined ISD 196 team, which placed fifth in Tuesday’s meet. Maddy Matsoff was the top ISD 196 skier, finishing 10th in 18:17.

191, from 1A From the pages of Sun Thisweek, here are some highlights of 2016 in School District 191.

Secondary programs retooled Career Pathways at the high school, STEAAAM at the middle schools — this would no longer be your father’s school district, or even your older sibling’s, the School Board learned in a January report. When the 2016-17 school year opened in September, Burnsville High School introduced “pathways� of courses to help students prepare for further study, training or work in a career field. Career Pathways are grouped under four career fields: Arts, Global Communications and Information Systems; Design, Engineering, Manufacturing Technologies; Business, Management and Entrepreneurship; and Health Sciences and Human Services. The three District 191 middle schools now combined the emphases of the three former junior highs at all of the schools. The result: a middle school culture of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Advanced Learning, AVID and Mathematics (STEAAAM). The STEAAAM blueprint for the middle schools combines at all three schools the emphases from the junior highs: STEM at Metcalf, AVID at Nicollet and Gifted and Talented at Eagle Ridge, said Eagle Ridge Principal Don Leake. The schools have an eight-period day instead of the old seven periods, allowing expanded elective and exploratory course offerings. Each day includes a 20-minute “advisory� period with a teacher that focuses on college and career readiness, social and emotional learning and building relationships between teachers and students.

Some of the 586 Burnsville High School graduates who received diplomas June 10 marched into Pates Stadium for the commencement ceremony.

Burnsville Promise

Burnsville Promise, a newly formed community collaboration aimed at promoting academic and career success for area students, made big steps in early 2016. More than $500,000 in funding was secured by March, including grants from the St. Paul Foundation, the F.R. Bigelow Foundation and the Greater Twin Cities United Way, organizers said. Another big step came Feb. 25, when the School Board approved an agreement between the Inver Hills Community College Foundation and the district. The district hired a Burnsville Promise coordinator whose salary is paid by the foundation. Burnsville Promise joins large and small businesses, community organizations, post-secondary

for District 191. Many of the complaints came from St. John the Baptist Catholic School in Savage, where students are part of a new shuttle system with routes that also stop at several elementary schools.

Teacher contract Unanimous School Board approval of a new teacher contract came with one member’s admonition that it may be too costly, isn’t tied to student achievement and doesn’t reflect the economic realities of district families. The pact gave teachers salary-schedule increases of 2.2 percent for the 2015-16 school year and 2.5 percent for 2016-17. Outgoing board Chair Bob VandenBoom made a prepared statement Jan. 14 before voting with the See 191, 16A

Initially, research into the first settlers in what would become the city of Rosemount turned up few details, according to Rosemount Area Historical Society co-founder Maureen Geraghty Bouchard. Extant historical documents offered scant information on William and Walter Strathern, the two Scottish brothers who began farming in the area shortly after the land was opened up to settlers in the 1850s. But a few years ago Geraghty Bouchard and another historical soci-

ety member, John Loch, gained access to a goldmine of information on the brothers who are regarded as Rosemount’s founding family. Loch, a retired pharmacist, had met a descendant of those first settlers, Norma Sell, through his business. Sell, still living on a portion of the Stratherns’ original property, gave Loch and Geraghty Bouchard permission to go through family documents — including letters and photos from the early settlers — that she kept in a closet in her home. “To those of us who are into history and doing research, it was a treasure

trove,� Geraghty Bouchard said. Geraghty Bouchard is set to present a talk on the Stratherns at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 12, at the Robert Trail Library. The event is the latest in a series of talks presented by the Rosemount Area Historical Society at the library. Past talks, by Geraghty Bouchard and others, have spotlighted the history of Rosemount’s Polio Hospital, the Gopher Ordnance Works, and other topics of local historical interest. Geraghty Bouchard, who co-founded the historical society with Gerald Mattson, is the author of “Rosemount: From

Walter Strathern, pictured lower right in this family photo, was one of two Scottish brothers who began farming on land that would eventually become Rosemount when the area was opened up to settlers in the 1850s. (Photo courtesy Rosemount Area Historical Society) the River to Space.� The book, published in 2014, documents the city’s history with about 1,000 photos along with information drawn from Geraghty Bouchard’s research.

Brady went on to host his own syndicated talk show “The Wayne Brady Show� for two seasons. He picked up two Emmys for Outstanding Talk Show Host and the show won Outstanding Talk Show. In 2008, Brady was nominated for a Grammy for his single “A Change Is Gonna Come,� off his debut album “A Long Time Coming.� He also released a children’s album called “Radio Wayne� which took the top spot on iTunes and Amazon kids charts.

March. But the Burnsville High School junior wants his rare perfect score on the PSAT (Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test) to be kept in perspective. “I don’t want to become ‘that guy,’ like that’s all you’re known for,� Trang said. “Having a perfect score, it’s amazing, but I’m not perfect in everything. Oh gosh, no. I do make mistakes sometimes like everyone else.� Trang took the test in October 2015 and in January received the results — a perfect 1,520 tally on a 44-question, multiplechoice test students get 35 minutes to finish.

191, from 10A other six members for the contract. “There is no question that the growing diversity of our students as well as the growing percentage of our students who come from low-income households is making (teachers’) jobs much more challenging,� he said. The district’s academic performance as a whole is “average at best and needs to improve,� he said. There has been progress, and teachers alone don’t bear responsibility for the results, he said. But, “I have a difficult time personally taking our student outcomes completely out of the equation when negotiating compensation for our teacher group (or any other groups, for that matter).� He said the contract’s projected two-year cost increase of $6.6 million could force budget cuts “sooner rather than later,� when the district’s fund balance “can no longer support this deficit-style spending.�

An annual report showing persistent enrollment declines and a growing outflow of students from district schools was met Dec. 1 with statements of resolve and optimism from officials. The Oct. 1 enrollment report shows a head count of 8,870 students, 119 few-

to 1,257 last year. But watch as the Vision One91 improvements launched this year take hold, officials said. The redesigned district now offers “some of the most transformational opportunities students in this district have ever had,� Superintendent Joe Gothard told the School Board Dec. 1. “We want to be a destination district,� he said. “We want to be the No. 1 district for the folks that live in our community.�

Enrollment

er than the previous Oct. 1. Enrollment — measured in both fall head counts and cumulative year-end numbers — has slid for years, falling from a yearend 9,669 in 2010-11 and dropping below 9,000 for the first time last year. The student outflow under open enrollment also grew in 2015-16. A total of 1,807 students living in the district chose other districts, compared with 560 nonresidents who came into the district through open enrollment. The net outflow, which was 391 in 2009-10, topped 1,000 for the first time in 2014-15 (1,074) and grew

Ron Hill, the School Board’s longest-serving member, and two-term member Sandy Mackall retired at the end of 2016, making way for newcomers. New board members elected Nov. 8 are Eric Miller, Savage, and Darcy Schatz, Eagan. Two-term incumbent DeeDee Currier, Burnsville, was re-elected in the four-way race for three four-year terms. Hill, who was first elected to the board in 1999 and was re-elected three times, said in an interview that the district’s changed racial profile continues to pose challenges, while its relatively stable finances and new redesign present opportunities. “We want to keep the students we have and become a very attractive south-of-the-river school district for those students and those parents who are looking for an exciting and forward-looking program,� he said. “We have that now. We want people taking a second look who in the past may not have been taking a second look.�

tion,� Lisa Rider, business services director, wrote in her budget report. The budget leaves an unassigned balance of 7.1 percent, raising the specter of budget adjustments for the following year, when the balance is projected to plunge to 1.8 percent.

Board changing

A general fund budget increase of $4.6 million reflected not just typical inflation, but also costs of changing over to a revamped school system, officials said. The School Board approved on June 16 the district budget for 2016-17 — the first year of the new grade configurations and other changes. The budget reflects $2.5 million in new annual spending on technology, a doubling of previous spending. Facing a $4 million shortfall, the district is using reserves to balance the projected $125.82 million budget. Projected revenue is $121.23 million. Using reserves avoids cuts that could affect “programming that is critical to the Vision One91 transi-

High honors are business as usual for the chess team at Metcalf Junior High in Burnsville, which has won 29 state junior high championships and 18 national titles. A different kind of prize went in March to the coach behind the legend, Brian Ribnick. He won the Spirit of Excellence Award in the first round of One91 Community of Excellence Awards in District 191. The awards, given to 17 staff members in seven categories, debuted in lieu of the traditional Teacher of the Year honor bestowed by the Burnsville Education Association. “We talk about either you win, or you learn,� Ribnick said of his coaching philosophy. “We don’t talk too much about losing.�

guished� on 21 of 25 performance statements, the School Board announced June 17. The board met with Gothard in a closed session June 9 to review his performance since July 1, 2015. As a result of his leadership, the district is “now knee-deep in laying the groundwork for increased connections with students, between schools, and with our community,� said a statement read by the board’s vice chair, Abigail Alt, who led the review process.
