The city of Burnsville pulled no punches in its bid for a major grant to jump-start revitalization of the ailing Burnsville Center. Jobs, tax revenue and investments are at stake, the city says. If the center closes, the surrounding retail corridor built up over the last 40 years could wither. The whole south metro area would feel the effects. A “reimagining� is needed to halt the “emerging decline of the Burnsville Center Retail Area as a regional destination,� according to a draft of the application the city submitted last month to the 2017 Mayors Challenge

Burnsville officials and business leaders have been brainstorming ways to revitalize Burnsville Center. The city is seeking a grant from Bloomberg Philanthropies to jump-start the process.

Eagan’s Paula Overby has announced her intention to run for the U.S. Senate in 2018. It’s a big step in her political aspirations after running for the U.S. House in 2014 and 2016 unsuccessfully. She is seeking the endorsement of the Green Party, but she admits she’s more focused on political reform than victory. Overby ran for the U.S. House seat in the 2nd District where she received about 5 percent of the vote in 2014 and 8 percent in 2016. Although she didn’t win, she said she’s focused on creating a movement for an independent voice in politics. Overby started with the DFL party before running with the Independence Party in 2014 and 2016, but said she doesn’t think

the Independence Party is the best fit for her platform anymore. “I know Paula that’s goOverby ing to create some backlash — they worry I’m party hopping,� she said. “But there’s not truth to that. It’s about organizing and building a coalition.� She said her focus is building up third parties. She’s engaged with the Green Party as well as the Libertarian Party throughout the years. “My goal is to overcome those political barriers, get into the debates, get some media attention,� Overby said. “These minority parties seek major party status.� Last year, DFL candidate Angie Craig lost to the Republican Jason Lewis 49 percent to 47 percent in the 2nd District.

Area legislator, candidate at center of harassment drama May Quade, Port call for task force by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Legislators at the state Capitol have raised consciousness about the reality of sexual harassment in the House and Senate, ever since Rep. Erin Maye Quade, DFL-Apple Valley, went public with her story. On Nov. 8, MinnPost reported that Minnesota state Sen. Dan Schoen, DFL-St. Paul Park, had sent Maye Quade inappropriate text messages while she was working for U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison in December 2015. Although she reported the incident to Rep. Erin Murphy, then deputy minority leader in the House, she decided not to move forward with the allegations, and instead avoided Schoen “like the plague.� Maye Quade was not alone in her experience. Burnsville resident Lindsey Port, a 2016 DFL candidate who ran in the Burnsville-Lakeville House 56B district, had

Erin May Lindsey Port Quade also reported to Murphy that she’d experienced sexual harassment from Schoen. Recently, Maye Quade decided to go public with her harassment allegations because she didn’t want it to keep happening to other women. “I had the thought: ‘If this continues to happen to other women, and I know and I don’t do something about it, then I’m part of that too,’ � she said when interviewed at the Capitol on Tuesday. On Nov. 9, Maye Quade revealed that Schoen is not the only man who harassed her in the House, and gave information that she’d been harassed by Rep. Tony Cornish, R-Vernon Center. Since then, two lobbyists have come forward with stories against Cornish, one

claiming sexual harassment, and one claiming attempted sexual assault. He denied the allegations, but was soon called out in a statement by former GOP House Speaker Rep. Kurt Zellers. “During my tenure as speaker of the house, in response to secondhand rumors at the State Capitol, I had a private meeting with Rep. Tony Cornish,� Zellers said. “At that time, I informed Rep. Cornish in the strongest possible terms that sexual harassment of any kind is unacceptable and will not be tolerated at the Minnesota Legislature.� Although Speaker of the House Kurt Daudt said he did not know of any specific instances of harassment, Maye Quade said he knew about the accusations against Cornish. On Thursday, DFL Leader Melissa Hortman, DFL-Brooklyn Park, released a statement saying she’d spoken with the speaker several times before. “In my role as minor-

Six injured in church bus rollover Bus was from Mary, Mother in Burnsville by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Four teenagers and two adults from a Burnsville church were hospitalized Saturday, Nov. 11, when their bus overturned near Rochester. Their injuries were not life-threatening, according to the State Patrol. Most were cuts and bruises, the Catholic Spirit newspaper said. The other bus occupants, including the driver, were uninjured. The bus was carrying 31 teenagers and adult chaperones from Mary, Mother of the Church to a confirmation retreat at Eagle Bluff Environmental Learning Center in Lanes-

boro when it left the road and turned on its right side shortly before 10 a.m., the Catholic Spirit reported. The bus, which was hauling a trailer, was southbound on Highway 52 at 75th Avenue Southeast in Pleasant Grove Township when it lost control on the icy road, the State Patrol said. The bus company was Thomas Bus. “The Holy Spirit sent so many people to help us at the scene,� including two experienced first responders who were traveling behind the bus, retreat supervisor Bonnie White said in a statement. “They were able to help the injured until the emergency

crew arrived. We are so thankful.� The bus driver was Randy Joseph, 51, of Burnsville. He was wearing a safety belt. Belts were not available to the injured passengers, according to the State Patrol. They are Abigail Ackerman, 16; Caroline Dickhausen, 14; Hena Gerten, 14; Jacey Kilby, 34; Mallory Nelson, 15; and Martin Schneider, 21. The church canceled the retreat and will reschedule. Contact John Gessner at john.gessner@ecm-inc.com or 952-846-2031.

Alleged MnPASS violator leads police in car chase A Rosemount man is charged with fleeing a police officer in a motor vehicle, a felony, following an incident Nov. 8 after he was allegedly caught driving in the MnPASS lane without a permit or a passenger, and decided to flee. During morning rush hour Nov. 8, a state patrol officer saw a white SUV in the MnPASS lane without having a MnPASS sticker or passenger in the car — the two conditions to use the lane. When the officer pulled behind the vehicle and activated the emergency lights, Avery Laroy Davis, 28, pulled over to the shoulder. As the officer approached, Davis allegedly accelerated quickly from the shoulder and traveled at increased speeds northbound on I-35. He exited on Burnsville Parkway, drove around other vehicles that were stopped for a red light, and then drove

onto a grass boulevard. While in pursuit, the officer observed debris in the roadway consistent with a collision. The officer caught up to the vehicle on Burnsville Parkway just before Nicolette Avenue where it was stopped in a grass median facing a tree. It was empty, and a witness said the driver ran away. Davis contacted the Burnsville Police Department a short time later saying he had been the driver. He complained of pain and paramedics were dispatched to evaluate Davis at a nearby grocery store. He said he fled because he was upset he was stopped instead of another MnPASS violator nearby. The charges carry a maximum sentence of three years plus one day in jail and a $5,000 fine.

Special meal-packing sessions slated Feed My Starving Children in Eagan will hold special holiday packing sessions to provide critical food support for those affected by Hurricanes Irma and Maria and the earthquake in Mexico. The sessions will be: • Thursday, Nov. 23 (Thanksgiving): 8:30-10 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. to noon. • Sunday, Dec. 10: 1-3 p.m. • Sunday, Dec. 17: 1-3

p.m. • Saturday, Dec. 23: 9-11 a.m. and 12-2 p.m. Volunteers hand-assemble nourishing MannaPack meals that are distributed to schools, clinics, orphanages and feeding programs in 70 countries. The $50 donation per volunteer (or $150 per household) required for the holiday packing sessions covers the cost of one box of 216 MannaPack meals, which feeds a

child for seven months. Normally, FMSC does not require a donation, but several times a year it gives volunteers the chance to become fully invested by packing meals and investing financially in them as well. Those unable to invest financially are invited to attend one of FMSC’s regular packing sessions. Reserve spots at fmsc. org/fully-invested.

Opinion A new generation of editors enter the newsroom by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

For the first time in many years, there’s a few new staff members at Sun Thisweek and the Dakota County Tribune. After the departure of three of our longtime editors with a combined experience of 40-plus years, since August we have welcomed Amy Mihelich, Kayla Culver and Jody Peters to the newsroom. It’s always hard to see longtime coworkers go on to new adventures, but it’s exciting to start working with new reporters who bring with them fresh perspectives and skills to help move us forward as a multimedia company. All three of our new editors are a couple of years out of college, bringing a different generation into the newsroom. The rest of our news staff members have been around since the days of print film developing for our photos, when fax machines were a major source of news and twitter was something that happened to your hands after typing too long. The result is a combination of experience and new ideas that we hope delivers dynamic coverage of the communities we serve. As these three went through the interview process, they each received a question about why they were interested in entering a field that was reliant on a print format that surveys have said doesn’t cater to their generation of readers. Each of them handled the question

Staff Columnist

Tad Johnson with instant answers that would warm the heart of any old news hound. They said although it may seem like Millennials are disconnected with traditional local media, they are just like any generation of young people. They have a lot going on their lives, but they also are reaching out for ways to get connected to their community beyond the online chat rooms endless stream of social media feeds. Local news and information are things that all generations are seeking. They said that Millennials might not be turning to our print newspapers or website, but if you give them a reason to read the newspaper or click through a website, they will keep coming back. Wisconsin-based marketing company BVK’s June 2016 in-depth study found that around 7 percent of Millennials are turning to print newspapers for information — dead last among the other categories (in order of importance) of online, magazines, radio, outdoor and television. We know we have some work to do to reach young people with our print and online news. We need to do a better job

of explaining how the stories we write can enhance their lives in showing how being better informed citizens makes them better citizens, how it’s interesting to read about one’s friends and neighbors doing amazing things, and how getting out in their local community to participate in events and shopping local is fun and fulfilling. Content is still the key. Reuters reports that the percentage of Millennials and Gen Y Americans who pay for news content online has risen from the single digits to at or near 20 percent since the 2016 election. Of course, one of the great things about Sun Thisweek and the Dakota County Tribune is that it’s delivered free to homes and is free at most drop locations, along with granting free access online when registering with an email address and user name at our new website hometownsource.com/sun_thisweek. It’s great, too, since we provide news and information in one place that’s in large part unique to Dakota County. Sure, one can find reporting or information about some of the biggest news stories that involve the south metro in larger media outlets, but one won’t find a single source reporting on so many things that can affect or bring value to one’s life each day. That’s now the job for Amy who is covering the city of Apple Valley and the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District; Kayla who is covering the city of Lakeville and the Lakeville

Area School District; and Jody who is covering the city of Farmington and the Farmington School District. It will be these reporters’ jobs to find news that not only fits the traditional definition, but also appeals to their perspective. When a writer asks me how long a story should be, I almost always tell them: “If it’s interesting to you, then keep writing. If it’s boring, stop writing and move onto something more interesting.’ ” I hope they can help us bring stories that appeal to their generation into our print newspapers and online. We can see the kinds of stories that are working well online, and we plan to do more of that. Of course, we can’t be everywhere in our coverage area that spans six communities and includes about 350,000 people. That’s where readers come in. We receive dozens of story ideas, tips and other information from readers each week. We want to keep that flow of information coming since reader input results in some of our best stories. I like the idea of Sun Thisweek and the Dakota County Tribune being a reflection of the community with news that comes directly from readers. It’s been than way for 132 years, and I hope it will be that way for the next century, too. Contact Tad Johnson at tad.johnson@ecminc or twitter.com/editorTJ.

Letters Freedom is not free To the editor: When I think of Veterans Day, my heart fills with pride for those brave men and women in uniform who have put their lives on the line for our freedom. All gave some, and some gave all. From inception, Americans have been God-fearing freedomfighters. An “Appeal to Heaven” flag flew on our Navy Cruisers during the Revolutionary War. The Continental Army had brave generals like George Washington who braved the cold and hardship, and repeatedly acknowledged that with God, they could overcome impossible odds. Congress appointed chaplains for itself and the armed forces, and with the inspiration of George Washington, promoted Christian morality as a necessity for those in military service. Some of these historical facts may have been forgotten over the years, but what certainly has not been lost or forgotten, are the men and women, who day after day, defend America from enemies both foreign and domestic. Nor do we even dare to forget to thank God for His Divine providence and protection. What was birthed as a rallying cry during some of the darkest wars in American history, has become a banner of hope for Americans — “In God We Trust.” It’s more

than a National Motto, it is the declaration of many brave soldiers who have spent long days in foxholes, and prayer that kept hope alive in the hearts of loved ones awaiting their return. On behalf of the people of Minnesota, I extend my deepest appreciation for each and every one who has served in our military. They should be honored, not only today, but every day. Sen. DAN HALL R-Burnsville, District 56

Ames Center a success To the editor: Recently, a Burnsville resident challenged the success of the Ames Center as it continues to operate in the red, utilizes a key parcel of land not generating tax revenue, and was built despite the views of independent consultants challenging it’s profitability. As an 18year resident, these are all views I mostly agree with, but what are we to do? Tear it down? On the contrary, I challenge the operations of the venue and the marketing for events at the venue. I attended concerts by Todd Rundgren and David Crosby in the past year and was thrilled to see these aging rock artists perform at a high level in a theater with quality acoustics. A Center employee shared that 800 of 1,004 seats had been sold for David Crosby (aka Crosby,

Stills, Nash & Young). Granted, it was a Thursday show but ended by 10:30 p.m. Prior, I did not know Jeff Pevar was on guitar (look him up) which strengthened the performance. The Center’s marketing could not sell out this show? My point, I seldom hear or see advertising of events at the Ames Center and don’t feel enough music of different genres performs at the Center, thus hurting annual revenues. I believe there is enough demand in the southern metro for quality music to be seen in a quality venue, throughout the week. So, let’s move forward with the Ames Center and hold people accountable for its profitable operation. What’s the alternative, the wrecking ball? Surely not. PATRICK HEIM Burnsville

Ames Center propaganda pit To the editor: Based on Tom Anderson’s letter of Nov. 2, I would say Anderson stepped in the city of Burnsville’s propaganda pit again and he is trying to help the mayor spread it around a little more. The financial reports for the Ames Center are of no value. The annual operating losses are more in the range of $600,000 to $700,000. In addition to the operating losses, you have the interest on the $16 million-plus that

was borrowed to build the Ames Center. Mayor Elizabeth Kautz likes to look at the operating statement without depreciation and will tell you she likes to see the operation on a cash flow basis. Be careful with cash flow statements because the mayor likes to leave out debt service. She has been using transubstantiation when she converts tipping fees to art, which is one of many tricks she uses. I spent 40 years as an accountant and have never seen this much deception. One needs to be very careful when using the financial data relating to the Ames Center. CLIFF VOLKMANN Burnsville

Release personal taxes

To the editor: Regarding the Republican Tax Plan, I would like to offer a suggestion. In the spirit of governmental transparency, I propose the president, members of the cabinet, and all representatives (both House and Senate) share with the citizens of the United States what effect this proposed plan will have on their personal taxes — both in the coming year and in the future (to account for inheritance taxes). This will require all of the above members to be open with their tax returns and show all of us as the public how these proposals are affecting them. I PAUL HOFFINGER think this is only fair and Eagan to see if they are being honest with all of us. Spotlight on DAVID BEYER Eagan

urbandictionary.com is “someone who wanders without purpose / someone constantly on the move,” apparently a reference to the traders who traveled through. A fairly harmless meaning, and yet maybe descriptive of what I was like to them, “bumbling maybe, wanting them to do what I wanted, even if without purpose.” I wanted them to build their own schools for all the citizens (without cost to me.) As it was, I made some speeches for my friend, who was running for parliament, wanting them to make the miracle of education happen, without much skin in the game from me. I played the role of the benevolent counselor. Political connotations of color here may run to “good” or “bad” for red or blue, depending on where you sit or stand. Feelings run strong, negatively and positively. An interesting group called “Better Angels” runs a workshop or session, some locally. In it people with opposing points of view, of various colors, look at their core values. They may find they share much more in common than they thought. Professor Bill Doherty from the University of Minnesota’s education department quietly accomplishes what some people consider miraculous, a working dialogue among people who may be passionate about their differences.

To the editor: Joe Nathan’s opinion piece last week piqued my interest and brought some thoughts: Color can have different meanings in different locations. I remember a trip to Uganda as the guest of a local, when we drove through a sugar plantation and a youngster greeted me “Hi, M’zungu” in what felt like a friendly way. Later my friend asked me if I knew what that meant. I assumed it meant the analog of what people use for describing a black person in the U.S. Turns out its official description according to

Summit. Working smarter delivers results at Uponor. That is a win-win-win for the company, local community and all of Minnesota. DOUG LOON Minnesota Chamber of Commerce president

What to do with our words To the editor: As I read Joe Nathan’s column (Nov. 10), it seems as if we need to be careful with our speech. If one has watched the “First Peoples” on PBS, it was said that “man” – “homo erectus,” and “homo sapiens” were black. As they went to other areas, they became lighter in color over the eons. There is a possibility that all humanity has a touch of our ancestors in our DNA. Also, is there a possibility Native Americans could be offended by the term “red-shirted” in references to an athlete? The Native Americans weren’t “red-skinned.” They put red mud on their bodies to prevent insect bites. When the white people saw them, they thought that they had “red skin.” A song from the movie “South Pacific” comes to mind, “You’ve Got to Be Carefully Taught.” PHYLLIS PETER Apple Valley

Silence gives the answer To the editor: Some questions should not need to be asked. However, I recently wrote to both U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis and state Rep. Anna Wills, R-Apple Valley, asking these two questions: Do you believe that gun violence is a problem we need to address? If so, what exactly do you want to do about it? Neither has responded. I didn’t expect them to. If either were willing to say “yes” we would already know by their actions. Their silence and inaction gives us their answer, and it is clearly “no.” Their silence may give them cover with donors and lobbyists, but it should be seen as revealing to those they claim to represent.

To the editor: Minnesota manufacturers deserve to take a collective bow during National Manufacturing Month. Uponor North America in Apple Valley is representative of an industry that has adapted to and grown in a changing economy. Central to its success is keeping up with smart technology. The Twin Cities has a worldwide reputation for engaging in the Internet of Things, and Uponor is in the thick of the revolution. Jon Sillerud, vice president of operations, described how the company has implemented technology throughout its operations as a presenter at the Minnesota MARYKAY CARTER Chamber’s annual Min- Rosemount nesota Manufacturers’

Business Buzz New stores open at Twin Cities Premium Outlets Levi’s opens second outlet store in Minnesota by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Just in time for holiday shopping, the Twin Cities Premium Outlets is getting some new tenants. Levi’s store is now open at Twin Cities Premium Outlets along with Ragstock and Just Cozy seasonal pop-up stores. This is the second Levi’s outlet store in Minnesota. The other is located in Albertville. It’s taken over the former Reebok location. “It’s something customers have been requesting,� said Peter Lund, general manager of Twin Cities Premium Outlets. Levis has survived decades of fashion trends. Founded in 1853, Levi’s is known for its American-style denim and selection of jeans, tops, trucker jackets and accessories.

Education Third-graders flock to zoo for hands-on learning More than 2,000 thirdgrade students from District 196 are learning to think like scientists and wildlife conservationists by participating in the Zoo Safari program at the Minnesota Zoo – made possible by a longstanding partnership with Flint Hills Resources. STEM learning outside the classroom brings science to life, engages kids in new and creative ways, and fulfills curriculum requirements. During Zoo Safari field trips, students get up-close and personal with the zoo’s residences and learn about an animal’s habitat, food habits, and environmental impacts as zoo naturalists help students learn beyond textbooks. These field trips spark students’ interest in science and promote academic achievement. The field trip is free for all third-grade students. “Zoo Safari is an unforgettable experience for these third-graders,� said John Frawley, director/president of the Minnesota Zoo. “They get to connect to wildlife and nature, and learn and have fun while doing it. We’re grateful for community partners like Flint Hill Resources who help make this program possible for thousands of students every school year.�

District 191 Quiz Bowl teams finish in top 10 Six teams represented Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District 191 in a Quiz Bowl tournament at Shattuck-St. Mary’s on Nov. 11 and each team

finished in the top 10 of their respective divisions, according to coach Les Moffitt. The Burnsville High School A team finished 5-2 in a tie for fifth place, qualifying for the national championship on Memorial Day weekend in Atlanta, Georgia. Participants and their scoring finish included Nick Schatz (17), Matthew Fischer (21), Justin Jasperse (31) and Ethan Tinklenberg (116 out of 141 students). The BHS B team finished 4-2, barely missing qualification for nationals, in a tie for ninth place. Participants and their scoring finish included Joe Schatz (14), Wyatt Andrews (55), Zander Gorton (91) and Aradhana Menon (117). The BHS C team finished 3-3, participating in the underclassmen division, short a person, and finished in a tie for fifth place. Wyatt Isakson on the C Team had the fourth highest individual score out of all the participants in the underclassmen division, winning an individual trophy. Additional participants and their scoring finish included Nate Trussell (20) and Luke Trussell (48 out of 51 students). Eagle Ridge Middle School stole the show, according to Moffitt. The school was undefeated 8-0, winning the tournament and qualifying for the middle school national championship on Mother’s Day weekend in Chicago, Illinois. Eagle Ridge defeated Spectrum (a charter school in Elk River) teams three times and Mounds Park Academy (a private school in St. Paul) teams twice. Erik Gorton had the highest individual score of any middle school participant, winning an individual trophy. Other participants in the order they finished in individual scoring included John Goettl (17), Jasper Strayer (23), Allan Habiger (35), and August Tinklenberg

(39 out of 44 students). Nicollet Middle School went 5-3 and earned third overall in the tournament, winning a trophy for their placement and just missing the cutoff for qualifying for the national championship. Calvin Hume, Keegan McDevitt, and Cameron Passon finished ninth, 10th and 11th respectively in overall scoring, just missing the cutoff for individual trophies. Other participants in the order they finished in individual scoring included Alex Stanek (20), Matt McGuire (34) and Hadley Alt (38).

Burnsville reviews ’18 budget Proposed levy increase is 3.9 percent by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Preparing for a final vote on Dec. 5, Burnsville City Council members got an overview of the proposed 2018 city budget and tax levy at a work session Tuesday. The $109.4 million budget includes a $55.9 million operating budget and a $38.4 million general fund. The proposed levy increase is 3.9 percent, or $1.3 million. After certifying a maximum 3.9 percent hike in September, the council can approve a lower amount but not a higher amount. The total proposed levy, $33.9 million, is 38 percent of city revenue. The levy increase would raise city taxes on an average-value Burnsville home ($238,000) by $17 next year, according to the city. Taxes on $1 million in commercial property would fall by $375. Residential values are rising faster than commercial values, forcing more of the tax burden onto homes. The council has raised the levy every year but one since 2011. Increases ranged from 2.5 percent in 2013 to 5.4 percent in 2014. A unanimous council vote for the budget and levy on Dec. 5 seems unlikely. Council Member Cara Schulz says her goal is no levy increase next year. Council Member Bill Coughlin said he supports 3.6 percent, but not a 0.3 percent bump for economic development programs that other council members added during budget talks. Council Member Dan Kealey, the Economic Development Authority president, said he backs the extra 0.3 percent but had hoped city staff would find savings elsewhere to cover it. Most of the $1.3 million levy increase falls on existing tax base, according to the city. A total of $1.1 million, or 3.5 percent, comes from existing tax base, with $140,000, or 0.4 percent, generated by new construction. Officials project levy hikes from 2019 to 2022 ranging from 5 percent in 2020 to 3.4 percent in each of the next two years. The 2020 levy will include decertification of the Heart of the City tax-increment financing district, giving the city new revenue with which to fund a structured in-

crease on construction debt for the city’s Ames Center. In 2019, a projected 4 percent levy hike includes replacement funds for an expiring federal grant that added four firefighters in response to rising call loads, particularly medical emergencies. The council could drop the positions. Rising salary and benefit costs and rising costs of city services, including equipment replacement, are behind the projected tax increases, according to the city.

Property values Burnsville’s median home values have risen in recent years, with increases ranging from 3.2 percent in 2016 to 8.8 percent in 2015, according to the city. The median value is projected to rise 7.3 percent in 2018. Apartments are the big gainers in 2018. The total value of apartment properties is projected to rise by 29.2 percent, compared with 8.1 percent for single-family homes and 2.7 percent for commercial and industrial properties. Some recent purchases of apartment complexes in Burnsville fetched high prices, said Council Member Dan Gustafson, a Realtor. “That’s the biggest I’ve seen any of those columns go,� Council Member Dan Kealey said, referring to a graph showing the jump.

Fees Among the city’s fee-supported utility funds, water and sanitary sewer fees rise by 4.5 percent under the proposed budget. Replacement of the city’s aging water-treatment plant, which is underway, replacement of water meters throughout the city and sewage-treatment requirements from the Metropolitan Council are driving the increases, officials said. The increase is part of a fiveyear plan of 4.5 percent annual increases. No fee increases are planned next year for storm water, streetlights or sidewalk snowplowing, but future increases are planned. Contact John Gessner at john. gessner@ecm-inc.com or 952-8462031.

District 191 board votes to leave TIES by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The District 191 School Board voted Nov. 9 to withdraw from TIES, the technology consortium of which it’s been a member-owner for more than 50 years. The vote came at a special meeting two weeks after Burnsville-Eagan-Savage board members agreed in a workshop to leave the deficit-ridden provider of public school data systems. Twelve more of TIES’ 48 member-owners have also sent letters of intent to withdraw, according to Cindy Amoroso, District 191 interim superintendent. Under state law and TIES bylaws, the withdrawal can’t occur before June 30, 2019, the end of the following fiscal

year. The district must send written notice of intent by July 31, 2018. Board Member Dan Luth abstained from the vote. Luth chairs the TIES executive committee, on which he represents 191 and several other districts. According to Luth, it will cost the district more than $500,000 to withdraw. Member-owners must pay their share of the organization’s liabilities at the time they leave. Costs to the district have risen along with administrators’ dissatisfaction with TIES’ services. The cost rose 15 percent this year, to $561,000, and the district expects to be billed an extra $7 per student come January. TIES’ annual budget of $38.5 million is $2 million in the red, and its 2016 uncov-

ered liabilities were $5.3 million. As some of the consortium’s products have grown outdated, some member districts — primarily the larger ones, like 191 — have bought third-party systems, which has hurt TIES financially, according to Luth. Integrating third-party systems with existing TIES systems has been troublesome, according to Stacey Sovine, District 191 human resources director. TIES’ systems for student and academic record-keeping have many shortcomings, according to Assistant Superintendent David Watkins. Contact John Gessner at john. gessner@ecm-inc.com or 952846-2031.

Bagging fundraiser attracts personalities by Kayla Culver SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Cub Foods on Heritage Drive is hosting an annual cancer-fighting fundraiser for the second time this year Nov. 22 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The event organizer and Lakeville resident, Dawn Sauber, said the date was available and she couldn’t pass up a chance to have an event on such a busy shopping day. Shoppers can have their groceries bagged for donations by well-known personalities including KARE 11 news anchor Alicia Lewis, KARE 11 meteorologist Sven Sundgaard, Lakeville Mayor Doug Anderson, state Sen. Matt Little, The Voice season 6 finalist Kat Perkins, Gophers head football coach PJ Fleck, Lakeville North Now & Then singers, Lakeville South Encore singers and Santa. Santa will also be available to children to sit upon his lap and tell him what they would like for Christmas. The chair for Santa was donated by the Burnsville Mall. The donations from the fundraiser are to benefit Laura Stegenga, a 47-year-old mother of two who was diagnosed with

Stage 4 breast cancer. Sauber first saw Stegenga when she told her story on Hearts of Hope story on “Good Morning America.� Stegenga’s mail carrier Michele Slack, who also battled Stage 4 breast cancer, built what she calls the garden of love. The garden was created in Stegenga’s yard while she underwent chemotherapy. The garden features 101 red heartshaped balloons. Not only did she shower her yard with support she also collected $2,000 in donations along her route. The Cub bagging fundraiser came together in one month, when it usually takes three, according to Sauber. “All of these people that don’t know each other and don’t know Laura coming together and doing something is so awesome,� Sauber said. This is the fifth grocery bagging fundraiser Sauber has put together. She started the fundraiser to honor her mother, who died of cancer 18 years ago, to have fun and to teach her children. “Through this my kids have learned a lot, too. They see what it means to help someone, to put your all into it and to help someone for no other rea-

son than you can. It makes you feel good to turn such a negative into a positive and help create memories,� Sauber said. The previous grocery bagging event raised approximately $7,000 in cash donations and another $3,000 in activities. The fundraiser has gained some exposure on Facebook and Sauber hopes to raise more money for Stegenga. Sauber and her husband also organizes an annual bike ride fundraiser for someone who is affected by cancer. She hopes to expand her fundraisers in the future and has thought about having an event in a park or her backyard, organizing a beer bash, or having two Cub Foods grocery bagging fundraisers on the same day. “I hope that other people get as excited about it as me,� Sauber said. “So many people are helping now because they are familiar with it and it’s become more fun. It’s incredible that this has come together in just one month.� More is at www.facebook. com/events/1770266446603815. Contact Kayla Culver at kayla. culver@ecm-inc.com.

HARASS, from 1A ity leader, I have spoken to the speaker many, many times about gender discrimination and sexual harassment at the Minnesota House of Representatives,” she said. “I have discussed both members’

concerns about the general atmosphere as well as members’ concerns about specific instances. On many occasions, I have asked the speaker to take action to address both.” Maye Quade said the responses to the recent reports, for the most part,

have been encouraging. “Coming forward about Senator Schoen was really tough, but the response of the DFL leadership in both the Senate and the House was so heartening, and in part the reason I came out about Representative Cornish

is because of what both Republicans and Democrats had said. I thought: ‘They’re going to have my back on this,’ ” she said. Gov. Mark Dayton has called for the resignation of both Schoen and Cornish. Neither have resigned and neither admit

to the claims. Maye Quade says she hasn’t been as heartened by the response to her story about Cornish. “The overall context of the stories is not different,” Maye Quade said. “The difference is their party.” Maye Quade said that

although she is waiting to hear a stronger statement from the chair and leadership of the GOP, she’s seen individuals in the Republican party calling for both legislators to have the same treatment for their See HARASS, 12A

Burnsville canner has 135 Minnesota State Fair blue ribbons by SUE WEBBER Contributing Writer

Barb Schaller of Burnsville has been canning since she got married, more than 50 years ago. Her output amounts to between 300 and 400 jars every summer. She began entering her canned goods at the Minnesota State Fair in 1981, and since then has collected 135 blue ribbons, plus at least a dozen special awards through categories or contests sponsored by particular manufacturers. She keeps a spreadsheet of what she enters each year. “Plum jelly started the madness in 1981,” she said. “I won my first blue ribbon with it.” She also has collected some special awards. “The Gedney folks had a line of blue ribbon jams and jellies that they manufactured for commercial distribution for 10 or 15 years,” Schaller said. “It’s a very exclusive club. You don’t get to lobby to be included.” Her peach melba jam was chosen for the distinction in 1996, and Schaller’s picture was on the Gedney label. “It was a lot of fun,” she said. She makes 20 entries every year for the State Fair, primarily jams and jellies. However, the bread and butter pickles her husband loves have won her 10 blue ribbons at the fair over the years, as well. “I spend days and days canning,” she said. She doesn’t compete in the baking categories any more, though Schaller used to do those, also. “For a couple of years, my brownies took first place,” she said. “In 2001, I won a blue ribbon for white bread.” Schaller grew up in St. Anthony Village, the youngest of 13 children. Both her parents were immigrants from Austria. Her father died when she was 6 years old. “My mom was on the last ship that sailed from abroad during World War I,” Schaller

said. “She was 15 at the time, and she came alone. She never saw her mother after that time. A year after she arrived, she was married off to my dad.” By the time her mother was 31, she had nine children and lived in a home with no running water, Schaller said. “In the last six years, I’ve buried seven of my siblings,” Schaller said. “That’s been really hard. There are three of us left, myself and two sisters.” “We were poor, and my mom canned,” Schaller said. “We learned to be self-sufficient. We always kept chickens, we had a couple of pigs, a couple of cows and a horse. We used to pasture our cows on what ultimately became Apache Plaza, off 37th Avenue North between Stinson and Silver Lake Road, a few miles from Interstate 694.” Her mom used what is now considered an unsafe method of canning, Schaller said. “One of my sisters remembers mom getting up in the middle of the night to make sure there was still water in the canner on the wood stove,” Schaller said. “At the time, people used water bath canning for vegetables. It was recommended that they put the jars in a boiling water bath for 3 l/2 to four hours.” Schaller is a strong proponent of using safe canning practices. In her own canning and when she has taught canning classes, Schaller says, she begins with this thought: “When your grandmas and great-aunts canned, they used the most current information and equipment at the time. We should do no less.” “I follow the rules from the University of Minnesota or the National Center for Home Food preservation, the USDA canning guide,” Schaller said. She considers the Ball Blue Book “every canner’s bible.” Her canning activities begin in May, with rhubarb, followed by strawberries, raspberries, the stone fruits and apricots from

California. She begins vegetable canning with cucumbers and tomatoes and moves on from there. She donates a fair number of canned goods to fundraising auctions for University of Minnesota bee research and the Minnesota State Fair auction, Schaller said. She also sells some and gives some away. PHOTO RIGHT: Barb Schaller of Burnsville cans between 300 and 400 jars of food each year. (Submitted photo) PHOTO BELOW: Her banner year at the Minnesota State Fair was 2016, when she collected nine blue ribbons. (Submitted photo)

She notes that there is “something of a resurgence in canning.” “People are canning salsa,” Schaller said. “It’s a big-time football game snack. At the State Fair, the blue-ribbon winner for salsa and barbecue sauce is likely to be a man.” The “Prestigious Processor of the Pantry” is the fair’s “fun name” for the canning cham-

pion, Schaller said. The baking award started as “The Supreme Baker of the Kitchen,” and now is called “The Supreme Baker.” In 1986, Schaller’s husband, Rob, a mechanical engineer who was adjunct professor in the Mechanical Engineering department at the University of Minnesota after working for the Donaldson Company for 35 years, won a blue ribbon for his red cabbage.

“It was the only time he had ever entered anything,” Schaller said. “He guards his red cabbage recipe.” Despite what she calls her “utter, total, complete disdain” for beets, Schaller decided one year to see if she could win a blue ribbon for pickled beets. The first year, she took fifth place. Then she won three ribbons in a row. “I’ve never tasted the beets,” Schaller said. Her barbecue and chili sauces both have won first place, she said. She calls 2016 her banner year at the State Fair, with nine blue ribbons. This year, she won three blue ribbons: for raspberry and cranberry jelly and nectarine jam. She also took four second-place awards and five third places. Schaller recommends that people who have any recipes written in their mother’s handwriting should treasure them. “People don’t write in cookbooks anymore,” she said.

HARASS, from 112A offenses. Maye Quade thanked the College Republicans for their statement calling for more accountability in regards to sexual harassment and assault. She said she and other women in the House and Senate want to focus on their work without fear of harassers. “We decided enough is enough. Instead of trying to warn each other, or move our lives around so we can avoid harassers, we finally are together saying: ‘Absolutely not. We are here to work, let’s do some work,’ � Maye Quade said. In a typical workplace, people can get fired for sexual harassment of the kind Maye Quade and Port have reported. In the House, it’s up to the voters. This means that people may end up having to work with their harassers, even after they’ve reported the incident – even after the story has become public knowledge. Maye Quade said in addition to changing the reporting system for members of the House and Senate, there is another group in need of advocacy: lobbyists. “For lobbyists, their relationships are the only currency they have in order to get the bills that they need passed for their clients,� she said. “Particularly, for lobbyists, they have to endure this without really having the ability to report it – they are

the ones who usually face the repercussions.� She’s also concerned about people who aren’t yet in office – people working on campaigns. Schoen allegedly harassed Maye Quade and Port during a campaign – a space filled with gray area. Port, who is running again to unseat District 56B Rep. Roz Peterson, R-Lakeville, could not be reached for comment. Maye Quade also thanked Sen. Greg Clausen, DFL-Apple Valley, for his immediate support. She called him before the MinnPost article came out. “I could not have a better senate colleague than Senator Clausen,� she said. “I have received nothing but support from him.� On Monday, Clausen released a statement regarding revelations of sexual harassment against Schoen and Cornish. “I am deeply disturbed by the incidents revealed in news stories this past week regarding actions taken by two of my fellow legislators,� he said. “There is no justification for the reported behavior of repeated sexual harassment and nonconsensual physical contact with women.� He said it is “imperative� for the legislation to address this “urgent problem,� as it threatens every Minnesotan. “The toxic culture of sexual harassment detailed in these revelations threatens Minnesota’s

‘marketplace of ideas’ at the Capitol by creating an environment of fear, silencing victims and discouraging current and future candidates from running for office,� he said. Clausen said he supports Maye Quade, Port, and “women across our country who choose to speak about their experiences with sexual harassment and assault.�

A bipartisan issue Maye Quade said that while the parties may be handling the stories differently, sexual harassment is a bipartisan issue. The Democrats have begun making changes already. On Monday, the DFL announced that it will now require all candidates and staff for campaigns receiving party support to participate in sexual harassment training. “Sexual harassment is a pervasive problem that needs to be addressed,� DFL chairman Ken Martin said. “Unfortunately no workplace is immune, including political campaigns. The Minnesota DFL Party has a zero tolerance policy for sexual harassment and expects our candidates and campaigns to follow this policy.� Maye Quade said this is a step in the right direction, but she hopes both parties make changes to the way they tolerate sexual harassment. “I hope it’s not just the DFL, because it’s not just Democrats who are

Food, Family, Pets and Entertainment

experiencing this or perpetuating this, and it’s not just Republicans either,� she said. “This is a cultural thing that happens to roughly half the population.� She said that change needs to begin with a cultural shift in the way men view women. “I think that when we change our framework and our paradigm through which we view women — not in relationship to men as wives and daughters and sisters, but as humans in their own right — I think we will see better policy about men,� she said. “When the attitude and the mindset changes, I think we’ll see policy that reflects women as whole, individual, autonomous humans.� And that change, she said, needs to start in the Capitol. “Changing the culture is important for every woman, and it absolutely should start from the people’s House,� she said. She said people are getting wise to the fact that harassment is not OK, and she thinks as awareness grows more men will be able to step in and hold their peers accountable for their behavior. “I think there’s a look inward for a lot of men and women to think about ‘How am I conducting myself in my everyday life, and in my workplace in particular,’ � she said. Maye Quade said there are three things she hopes her constituents know as

they continue to follow this story. She said the first is that she came to office to “do the right thing,� but being a leader means doing the hard things as well. “The first person I spoke about was in my own party. That was really tough,� she said. “When I said I’d do the right thing even if it was hard — this is part of that.� Maye Quade said she also hopes that by coming forward with her own story, her constituents will recognize their power to share their own stories of harassment or assault if they want to, but they do not have to. Last, she said she hopes that people know that any instances of harassment are not OK. “It doesn’t have to be a Roger Ailes, Bill O’Reilly, Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein level to be gross. All sexual harassment is wrong, and no one deserves to have it happen to them, and it absolutely should stop,� she said. “It doesn’t have to be that bad to warrant speaking out.� Moving forward, Maye Quade has several goals. She said she wants to leave space for other women to come forward with their own stories of harassment at the Capitol. She said she’s had upwards of 15 women reach out to her with their own stories already. She, Port and Rep. Jamie Becker-Finn, DFLRoseville, are calling for a special state task force on

sexual harassment in the Legislature and state political campaigns. Maye Quade said she hopes to see the task force assembled and appointed by Jan. 15 so that when the House reconvenes on Feb. 20 it will have completed its evaluation and be able to offer recommendations before the session starts. “People need recommendations on what we can do to make it better; where are there gaps and gray areas,� she said. “It’s hard for me to have solutions because I don’t actually know where all the problems are, and that’s why the task force is really important.� She hopes the recommendations will not only be helpful in the Capitol, but also in Minnesota workplaces as well. “I hope I have a task force that has real solutions that we can hold up as a sterling example of what other companies and small businesses and nonprofits can use as well,� she said. Maye Quade emphasized that in the midst of all this it is still important for her to get her job done. She said she has bills to pass, constituents to listen to schools and organizations to visit. In the coming months, Maye Quade expects procedural changes, personal, behavioral changes and reporting processing changes at the Capitol. Contact Amy Mihelich at amy.mihelich@ecm-inc.com.

Chef’s barbecue sauce moves from home to store shelves By SUE WEBBER Contributing Writer

Richard Flax had a cookout at his home in the early ‘90s, and his guests raved about the barbecue sauce on the meat. “Everybody said, ‘Where can we buy this sauce?’� Flax recalled. “Before I knew it, I was selling it to friends of friends of friends in Mason jars. They said it was better than what they could buy at the store.� Working as a restaurant chef in 2006, he bottled his sauce for the first time. “As a chef, I never made it in small quantities,� he said. His Down Under Kickin’ BBQ Sauce, now manufactured for Flax by an outside company, also can be used as a marinade. It comes in five flavors: Rich and Spicy, Blackberry Chipotle, Tequila Lime, Raspberry Habanero and Mango Peach Habanero. A 14-ounce jar sells for $7. “The past two years, I’ve gone to Florida for the winter and I take it to a farmer’s market there,� said Flax, who retired early from full-time restaurant work because he was disabled as the result

of a car accident. Prior to retirement, he said, “I spent my whole adult life in the restaurant business, as a manager, owner, chef and waiter.� Flax who grew up in Excelsior and has lived in Fridley for five years, said both his parents were cooks. “My dad did almost all the cooking,� he said. He experiments at home with different sauces, Flax said. “This year, I’ve come up with two seasoned rubs.� “It’s something I really enjoy doing,� he said. “I enjoy cooking, and the thought of putting together a good meal and having people enjoy my food.� Two years after Flax bottled his sauce, he entered his first contest and won a second-place ribbon at the American Royal World Series of Barbecue in Kansas City, the first of many ribbons since then. Flax has won numerous awards at the American Royal “Fire and Smoke� contest, held every Labor Day weekend since 1980 at the Kansas Speedway. In 1988, it became the world’s largest barbecue competition, with 340

teams vying for awards. Another competition that Flax has entered, called The Scovie Awards, is held annually in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to honor the memory of Wilbur Scoville, a scientist who invented the Scoville Organoleptic Test in 1912 to determine the heat scale of chile peppers. “The Scovie Awards Competition accepts entries for two months during the summer, and the judging is held the Monday of the week between the New Mexico State Fair and the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta,� the group’s website said. “The judging, which is not open to the public, consists of 80 to 100 judges, mostly food professionals, who sample products in coded cups in what is called a ‘blind tasting.’ They fill out judging forms and rate the products according to eye appeal, aroma, flavor, and heat scale.� Flax also has won prizes at the 10-year-old Big Island BBQ/Steak/Chili cookout (BIB) held in August at the Freeborn County Fairgrounds in Albert Lea, Minnesota. His list of total awards includes:

In addition to cooking and perfecting new sauces, Flax said he also plays a lot of bridge. “I play in a league in Florida,� he said. “I play bridge a

couple of times a month on Mondays in Fridley. It gives me something to do. I’d go crazy without something to do.�

The Power of Pets By BOB RAMSEY Guest Columnist

Pets are good for people — especially older adults. People who own pets are healthier and happier. Although pets aren’t for everyone, those who have had pets in their lives know that they literally become a member of your family. Non-pet people may scoff at this notion, but if they experienced the unconditional love of a devoted animal, they would understand why pet owners pamper their pets, give them gifts, write obits about them when they die and bury them in special cemeteries. For older adults, pets are a natural antidote for isolation and loneliness. As it turns out, pets are better friends than most human friends. The French writer Colette nailed it when she wrote, “Our perfect com-

panions never have fewer than four feet.� If anyone ever needs a pet, it’s those elders who live alone with no social contacts or connections. There are many reasons why our animal friends enrich and enhance our lives at every age. For starters, they exhibit many of the best human behaviors (e.g. loyalty) while being devoid of our worst traits (e.g. dishonesty and duplicity). Pets actually make their owners better people. Besides that, here are a few other things I know about pets: • Pets are always welcoming. For instance, my wife’s poodle-pal used to greet her at the door after work. They immediately retreated to the den where the excited dog crawled up beside my wife, laid on her back for her tummy to be scratched and with appro-

• Rich & Spicy, second place at American Royal in 2008, and second place at the Scovie Awards in Albuquerque in 2014. • Blackberry Chipotle, second place in 2009, third place in 2011 and first place in 2014, plus People’s Choice for marinating and basting in 2010, all at the American Royal in Kansas City; first place in 2009 and first place in 2013 at the BIB in Albert Lea; third place at the Scovie Awards in Albuquerque, N.M. • Raspberry Habanero, first place in the Albert Lea Big Island BBQ in 2011, and fourth place at Canterbury Park in 2011. • Tequila Lime, fifth place in the American Royal in 2013. • Mango Peach Habanero, first place in the 2014 World Hot Sauce Award in New Iberia, Louisiana, and third place in the Scovie Awards in 2014. Flax’s Down Under Kickin’ BBQ sauce is available at 48 retail locations and five restaurants in three states. He said it is sold at several HyVee stores, Anoka Meats, Ricky’s Embers, a few grocery stores in northeast Minneapolis and three in south Minneapolis.

SUN THISWEEK - Burnsville - Eagan Nov. 17, 2017 13A

STEM, from 1A people to find their passions, follow them persistently and be willing to change direction as the path winds. They also emphasized building relationships along the way, as those connections can open unexpected doors. After lunch and one more round of breakout sessions, the students gathered to participate in a panel discussion, and then Hendricksen returned to the stage for closing remarks. Hendricksen said she’s

been planning this event since the last week of September. She was impressed with how well the event went, and hopes to host it annually, or even biannually if she can find the sponsorship. Hendricksen said she created STEM in Action to inspire school-aged students to look into STEM career options. “I realized that many students who may be good at STEM turn away from it for various reasons,� she said. “STEM in Action day was created because no one should turn away

from STEM because they do not know about all of the options, or they do not understand there are people to help them.� She said it was challenging to get the ball rolling in the beginning, but once she had a venue and executive support it was surprisingly easy to find speakers and volunteers for the event. “Whether it was speakers, volunteers or sponsors, everyone was more than willing and excited to support the event. I found that most people really want to help with what

Pets give back to their owners PETS - FROM PREVIOUS priate moans and groans, recited for my wife the woes of her day. Then, she was ready to go outside. Of course, sometimes, pets can be too welcoming. Our German shepherd named “Butterfly� always welcomed people by jumping up on them. Because of her size, occasionally he toppled over little kids. One day, he accidentally scratched the cheek of a little neighbor girl who ran home and told her dad,

‘Butterfly did it.’ The father was shocked. It took a while to explain that the damage was by a big dog’s over-exuberant welcoming, and not by an invasion of monster Monarchs. • Pets provide valuable services. We all know about “service dogsâ€? who care for people with special needs. But ordinary pets can be helpful too. Like the dog we trained to bring my slippers on request and receive a treat. It became a problem, however, when the dog figured out he

could get more treats by bringing only one slipper at a time. Later, he started bringing them at all times of the day or night whether I wanted them or not. There’s such a thing as too much service. • Pets entertain us. Many pets are natural-born clowns and entertainers. They can be taught all kinds of tricks. For example, one of my daughter’s dogs would fall over and play dead when we pointed a finger at him and said, “Bang!â€?

they can to engage more students in STEM to help prepare them for a successful future,� she said. Hendricksen said that she most enjoyed watching connections form between speakers and students, and she thinks many students may have changed their career path due to this event. She said it was important to her that the event reach out to many people. In addition to diversifying the topics students learned about, Hendricksen intentionally invited speakers and students who are di-

verse in age, gender, race, culture and background. “When I found out there were over 800 schools in Minnesota, I knew we would be unable to reach out to all of them,� Hendricksen said. “We decided we would try to reach out to a wide variety of students from a variety of backgrounds. We invited schools from St. Paul, Minneapolis, Eagan, Apple Valley, Rosemount and several more. We invited private, public and charter schools from around Minnesota.� Hendricksen knows

just how important exposure to STEM is to understand its value. She became interested in robotics because her brother, Tim Hendricksen, was on a robotics team. She said it was a family affair — her dad was a coach and her mom was a mentor for the team — but she wasn’t interested in being a part of it. “I thought STEM and engineering were interesting at the time, although I never wanted to join the team because I wanted to

Many times, pets invent their own ways of entertaining us — such as the cat who played hockey with an empty sack and an oversized paper wad; or the dog who went to photography school and learned to pose whenever a camera was in sight. There’s nothing more entertaining than playing with our pets or watching them play with each other. Best of all, it’s free! • Pets have a sense of time and place. We’ve all heard stories of pets who have transcended time and space to return home after

being separated from their owners by hundreds of miles and the passage of months or, even, years. Our favorite story is about our daughter’s trip to Europe when she graduated from high school. Before she left, she sat down with her dog and carefully explained that she would be gone for three weeks. After she was gone, the devastated pet went about his business as usual without moping around or being depressed by her absence. Then on the 21st day, he took up a position watching out the window

and waited patiently until our daughter walked in the front door. Eerie, isn’t it? Stories of pets’ uncanny antics and abilities could go on and on. You may have some from your own experience. The point is that pets can change lives and become man’s (or woman’s) best friend.� Pets are more than animals. They’re not people, they’re better!

Burnsville firefighter Jayson Knutson put a coat on Adam Abdulahi Nov. 1 at Sky Oaks Elementary in Burnsville. The Burnsville Professional Firefighters Local 2910 partnered with Operation Warm, a national nonprofit, to provide more than 360 Sky Oaks students with new winter coats. The Burnsville project sponsor was ApplianceSmart. “This is a humbling experience,� said firefighter Jamie Glover of Local 2910. “Before the Burnsville Professional Firefighters joined with Twin Cities Firefighters for Operation Warm, I never realized the need for this program in our community.� Firefighters and ApplianceSmart employees personally fitted each recipient with a coat and helped them write their names on a tag reading “Made Just for You.� STEM, from 13A

do something unique,� she said. “The reason I ended up joining was that one of the mentors on the team helped me understand that robotics and engineering will make anyone unique.� Hendricksen hopes to combine her experience in STEM with the medical field. She wants to major in biochemistry and computer science, and said she would love to work at Mayo Clinic, and someday Medtronic. She hopes that wherever her future education and career takes her she will still be able to help inspire students to pursue STEM. “While I am working in the medical field, I hope to create opportunities for high school students to be able to find what they are interested in by creating programs similar to STEM in Action,� she said. Hendrickson said that moving into college, she hopes to continue hosting the event, and she wants to

reach out to more schools and students by adding more topics to the next series of breakout sessions. The attitudes of the students, however, is something she hopes to keep the same. “Throughout the event, I thought it was amazing the amount of audience participation,� she said. “I hope to keep the culture of the event the same, because the energy was amazing.� Dave Hendricksen is a senior architect at Thomson Reuters and the head coach of Eagan High School Robotics. He’s also Katie’s dad. “I think it was an amazing success. The kids were very engaged,� he said. “It was fun to hear everyone’s favorite session and how they thought they would apply what they learned.� He said he’s already received requests from students and advisors to be included next year, even from schools that weren’t able to attend. “The most rewarding

part was seeing how Katie’s vision came into reality — seeing students from a wide variety of backgrounds being super engaged, asking lots of questions during and after the presentations and hearing the buzz of conversations between all the sessions,� he said. Friday’s event is part of a larger program and vision. Team 2220’s STEM in Action is in the midst of hosting over 20 STEM camps, and they will partner with the Wescott Library to host a Maker Art Fest in February. People looking for more information about STEM in action can visit www. steminaction.tech. They’ll be able to view a full schedule of events for STEM in Action Day and read the bios for each presenter, in addition to learning more about the program in general.

Sports North’s ‘spot-on’ play ends Wildcats’ reign Eagan reaches state volleyball final for 5th consecutive year by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Every team in every sport trains to play its best at the end of the season, when it matters most. It doesn’t always happen that way but when it does, opponents can have a tough time stopping it. On Saturday, Eagan found itself up against a team that peaked at the perfect time, and that’s why the Wildcats’ twoyear reign as state Class 3A volleyball champions is over. Lakeville North, a team that lost to Eagan twice during the regular season, combined gritty defense and a 24-kill performance by star outside hitter Elizabeth Juhnke to defeat the Wildcats 25-20, 21-25, 2520, 25-23 in the Class 3A championship game at Xcel Energy Center. The Wildcats, who finished 30-2, were seeking a third consecutive state championship and eighth overall. This was the fifth consecutive year they reached the Class 3A final; they were 3-2 in those matches. After defeating Forest Lake and Prior Lake in the first two rounds of the state tournament, Eagan’s streaks of 22 matches and 56 sets won were intact. Next up was South Suburban Conference rival Lakeville North, ranked second in the state behind Eagan. The Wildcats won all five sets the teams played in the regular season. But on Saturday, something was different. To Eagan coach Kathy Gillen, it looked as if North felt it had nothing to lose. And, for the first time in a long time, her team looked tight. “They played outstanding, every position, from serve receive to defense

Tonight, they had a lot better balance than other times we’ve played them. That’s what made it hard,” Eagan senior outside hitter Anne Wong said. The Wildcats, by contrast, leaned more and more on senior McKenna Melville and ninth-grader Kennedi Orr, who had 14 and 13 kills. “We lost balance. We didn’t have all of our hitters attacking as normal,” Gillen said. “When you have to go to just a couple all the time, that helps them set up their defense a little better. There’s no catching them off-guard when they know where the ball’s going.” Wong had nine kills

and 15 digs in the championship match. Kelley Johnson had 19 set assists and Orr 18. Melville received 38 serves with just one error, and added 17 digs. Junior middle hitter Ellie Husemann had seven block assists. But the Wildcats also had an uncharacteristically high number of errors, including 24 on the attack. “It seemed like we had a noose around our neck, not going out and playing aggressively,” Gillen said. Lakeville North (32-2) broke a 9-9 tie in the first set by scoring five consecutive points and held the lead the rest of the way. Eagan rallied from three points down to win the second set, with Melville getting five of the Wildcats’ 10 kills in the set. Lakeville North regained control in the third, leading almost the entire way behind nine kills by Juhnke. The match turned late in the fourth set when North was forced to call timeout with Eagan leading 22-20. Although the Wildcats were off their

game, their chances of taking the match to a fifth set looked good. “When we were up 2220 with McKenna coming to the front row in our next rotation, I thought we thought we were probably going to win that set,” Gillen said. But Lakeville North’s players thought they had to do whatever was necessary to prevent that. “We knew that was their mindset, and we had to counter it,” said senior middle hitter Kennedy Brady. “We didn’t want that to happen and we had to find any way possible to grit it out and find a way to get the ball over the net and score. “We had the same mindset as they did, that we were going to win that set.” Lakeville North, aided by a couple of Eagan errors, won five of the final six points to close out the match. In the quarterfinals Nov. 9, Eagan trailed Forest Lake 6-1 in the first set before settling down and rallying to win 25-21, 25-

12, 25-16. Melville had 16 kills, while Orr had 18 assists and 14 digs. The Wildcats destroyed fifth-seeded Prior Lake 2519, 25-15, 25-11 in a semifinal match Friday that Gillen said was “probably about as well as we can pass and play defense.” Prior Lake, one of Eagan’s South Suburban Conference rivals, never was in the match. The Lakers’ only leads were 1-0 in each of the first two sets. Melville (16 kills), Orr (nine), Husemann (eight), Ally Murphy (seven) and Wong (six) shared the hitting responsibilities, making it an enjoyable match for setters Orr (19 assists) and Johnson (14). Prior Lake coach Mike Dean was impressed. “They don’t give you anything, and they can run off three, four or five points in the blink of an eye,” he said. Said Melville: “We had so much confidence in every single hitter and every single passer. When you get on those roles, it’s really fun to see. We’re in system almost all the time.”

One day later, Lakeville North found a way to get Eagan out of its system, much to the Wildcats’ disappointment. “We were not 100 percent tonight,” Gillen said. “High school girls, it’s going to happen sometimes. Bad time, but it happens.” The loss does not necessarily signal the end of Eagan’s run as a state power. The Wildcats do lose five seniors, including two who have signed with Division I colleges – Melville (Central Florida) and Murphy (North Dakota State). Wong, setter Emily Tran and defensive specialist Olivia Masso also will graduate. Returnees include two more Division I commits, Husemann (Minnesota) and Orr (Nebraska). Johnson, junior middle hitter Peyton Rude and sophomore outside hitter Christine Jurgens also will be back as Eagan aims for a sixth consecutive state tournament appearance.

Wildcats, Blaze send athletes to state meet Rosemount wins Section 3AA swimming championship by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Rosemount successfully defended its Section 3AA girls swimming and diving championship and will send athletes to this week’s state meet in 11 of 12 events, including all three relays. The Irish, who finished sixth at the 2016 state Class AA meet, had seven champions in the swimming finals Friday at Hidden Oaks Middle School in Prior Lake, including double winners Cassandra Hutchins, Anna Wenman and Macy Klein. One day earlier, Rosemount’s Andrea Holtz won the section diving championship. Rosemount finished 36.5 points ahead of runner-up East Ridge in the Section 3AA team competition. Eagan, Apple Valley, Burnsville and Eastview finished third through sixth in the eightteam meet, and all four had qualifiers for state. Class AA diving begins Thursday at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center, with swimming preliminaries Friday and swimming and diving finals Saturday. All Class AA competition begins at 6 p.m. Hutchins had the second-fastest qualifying time in the 500-yard freestyle and the fourthfastest in the 200 freestyle. Wenman, who swam the championship finals in two individual events at state last year, is the No. 2 seed in the 100 butterfly.

Rosemount also is seeded second in the 400 freestyle relay. Eagan sophomore Lara Mitchell had the secondfastest qualifying time in the 100 backstroke, an event where she finished 12th at state last year. She’s also part of Wildcat relays that are seeded second in the 200 freestyle and sixth in the 400 freestyle.

16A Nov. 17, 2017 SUN THISWEEK - Burnsville - Eagan

Two powerful ground games collide at U.S. Bank Stadium Apple Valley faces defending champions in Class 5A semis

the Eagles’ 41-28 victory over Mankato West in a state quarterfinal game at Shakopee West Junior High School. The Eagles (10-1) used the same play last year against Owatonna in the state quarterfinals, and it went for a touchdown then, too. “We’ve been waiting for the right time to run it, and this was the right time,� Rolland said. “I really appreciate my teammates up front. If they didn’t sell that fake, I wouldn’t have gotten the touchdown.� That was part of an Apple Valley rushing attack that gained 218 yards. Apple Valley scored on its first four possessions to take a 28-10 lead into halftime, and when Mankato West threatened to get back in the game, the Eagles’ Damian Swanson returned a kickoff 85 yards for a touchdown to douse the threat.

Old school and new school will mesh at U.S. Bank Stadium on Friday afternoon when Apple Valley and Elk River play in the state Class 5A football semifinals. Both schools are runoriented — particularly defending state champion Elk River, with its throwback Wing-T offense. But both are explosive enough to keep pace with teams that sling the ball all over the field. Both also are willing to toss in a wrinkle or two, as Apple Valley did Saturday night when offensive tackle Spencer Rolland scored on a 13yard reverse for a key second-quarter touchdown in

“I’ve been getting a lot of good blocks,� said Swanson, who returned a punt for a touchdown in a section playoff game against St. Thomas Academy but had it called back because of a penalty. “I was just trying to look for the hole, find it and go.� “I think we spend more time on special teams than a lot of other teams do,� Apple Valley coach Chad Clendening said. “We believe there are plays to be made in that phase of the game, and Damian’s kickoff return was huge. It changed momentum.� Trey Kocher, Tyler Cardella and Kellan McKeag also scored rushing touchdowns for Apple Valley, which led 41-16 before Mankato West scored two touchdowns in the final 4 minutes, 37 seconds. Cardella threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to Luke Martens in the final minute of the second quarter.

Although Mankato West (10-2) gained 334 yards, Apple Valley’s defense made enough stops to keep the Eagles in front for the final three quarters. “They had a really good running game, and from that they really build their passing,� said Rolland, who also plays on Apple Valley’s defensive line. “I think we did a good job of stopping their run, and our (defensive backs) locked up on their receivers on the outside.� The Apple Valley-Elk River game is scheduled for a 2 p.m. kickoff Friday, although it could be later depending on the length of the two playoff games that precede it. Owatonna (10-1) and Brainerd (9-2) play in the other Class 5A semifinal at 7 p.m. Saturday, with the winners meeting in the Prep Bowl at 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 25. One common thread

among the four Class 5A semifinalists is they can put points on the scoreboard. All four average at least 30 per game, with Elk River (10-1) averaging 46.3. The Elks had a wild game against Andover in the Class 5A quarterfinals, gaining 625 yards — but completing just one pass — in a 66-60 victory last Friday. Three Elk River backs gained 138 yards or more. Andover, amazingly, scored 40 points in the second quarter and still lost. The Huskies were shut out in the fourth quarter, while Elk River scored two touchdowns to take the game. Elk River, which went 13-0 on its way to the 2016 Class 5A title, rarely passes, attempting only about three per game on average. The Elks threw twice against Andover but completed one for 46 yards and the go-ahead

touchdown in the fourth quarter. They average more than 430 yards rushing. The defense has been vulnerable, however. They gave up 114 points in two games against Andover this season but won both. Apple Valley counters with a ground game that averages about 260 yards. Cardella, the Eagles’ quarterback, throws 10 to 12 times a game, and against Mankato West was 10 for 12 for 117 yards and a touchdown. For the Eagles, who are in the state semifinals for the first time since moving to the second-largest enrollment class in 2012, the game could hinge on a big play by the defense. “It’s going to be really competitive out there and we just have to grind it out,� Swanson said.

Notes: Blazing Cats, Dakota United eye adapted soccer titles by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Local athletes again will compete in the state adapted soccer tournament Friday and Saturday at Stillwater High School. The Blazing Cats, a cooperative consisting of Burnsville, Farmington, Lakeville North and Lakeville South high schools, will take a 9-3 record into the CI (cognitive impairments) Division tournament. The Blazing Cats were consolation champions last year after losing to eventual champion Park Center by one goal in the opening round at state. They get another chance at Park Center on Friday as the teams meet in a quarterfinal game at 8 p.m. Park Center is 9-1-1 and the Blazing Cats are 9-3; the teams did not play each other in the regular season. Although Park Center is defending CI Division champion, two undefeated teams – Chaska/ Chanhassen/Prior Lake/Shakopee (11-0) and South Washington County (10-0) might be the favorites this weekend. The Chaska co-op and South Washington County gave the Blazing Cats all three of their regular-

season losses. Dakota United takes an 8-0 record into the state tournament in the PI (physical impairments) Division. The Hawks play Mounds View/Irondale/ Roseville in the first round at 6:30 p.m. Friday. The Dakota United PI Division cooperative includes Apple Valley, Eagan, Eastview, Lakeville North, Lakeville South and Rosemount high schools. The other undefeated team in the PI Division tournament is Robbinsdale/Hopkins/Mound Westonka, which is 9-0 and was last year’s state runner-up. The Robins defeated Dakota United 2-1 in overtime in the 2016 state semifinals, and Dakota United went on to win the third-place game. Dakota United and Robbinsdale/Hopkins/Mound Westonka are in opposite brackets and could not meet until the final round. Two-time defending state champion Anoka-Hennepin is 2-7 and plays St. Paul Humboldt in the first round of the state tournament. Semifinal games in both divisions are Saturday. The PI Division championship game is 2:30 p.m. Saturday and the CI Divi-

sion final is at 4.

OVERBY, from 1A knows the Democrats “certainly think I made a big difference last year. There are a lot of people that are unhappy with me. They think I played spoiler.� “A lot of Republicans were willing to thank me,� she said. “But it’s irrelevant. When I look at the dysfunction in the twoparty system, I don’t think it makes a whole lot of difference who got elected. The Democrats aren’t fighting for us anymore. It’s not the party us older people grew up with.� She said when she looked at the data, there was no indication that her participation altered the outcome. “I have strong support from the Libertarian Party, which tend to vote Republican, and a lot of my votes came from rural areas,� she said. Others seeking their party’s nomination for the U.S. Senate seat include current Sen. Amy Klobuchar, a Democrat, and state Rep. Jim Newberger, a Republican. “I love Amy,� Overby said. “A lot of people do, but I’m not too fond of her policies.� Overby said she’s strongly anti-war and prouniversal health care. “Klobuchar is a strong supporter of military spending, as most of the members of the two parties are,� Overby said. “They consistently come together. We need to transition to a peacetime economy and transform our military spending to social programming.� She said there’s strong public support of universal health care as well.

“The Democrats are pretty clear about the fact that they’re bound to the (Affordable Care Act),� Overby said. “I think they feel like they’ve won the issue because the Republicans failed on the issue, but before the 2016 election, the ACA was coming under attack. There’s a lot of problems and there’s not a lot of solutions being offered.� Overby sees evidence of support for those outside political parties. “I see both Bernie Sanders and (President Donald) Trump were outside the political norm, the political establishment,� Overby said. “There’s a desire for another political choice.� Although it’s clear which side of the political spectrum she prefers. “I don’t agree with 95 percent of Trump’s positions,� she said. She doesn’t like his isolationist polices or building a wall between the U.S. and Mexico, but recognizes people were frustrated with the political class. “There’s a cooperate takeover of American politics,� she said. “Trump is fundamentally a CEO, and government and business are run very differently.� She said we need more people like Sanders who are out on the front lines. The Green Party convention is in February. Should she receive the nomination, she recognizes the effort in a statewide campaign is much greater than that in the 2nd District. “We will have to get out and go. We’ll have some strong support in the cities and the rural areas have

strong support for the independent movement,� Overby said. “We’re still organizing the ground game and fundraising.� She said Klobuchar will likely already have several million in her campaign fund. “We expect to run with about $250,000,� Overby said. “I mean, if we might need more as the campaign continues, depending on how it goes.� She would also be the first openly transgender Minnesotan to run for Congress. Transgender individuals have found success in recent elections. The Minneapolis City Council will have two transgender members in Andrea Jenkins and Phillipe Cunningham following the election. Danica Roem became the first openly transgender person elected and seated in a state Legislature in Virginia. She said the news was encouraging. “It’s good to see transgender people to get some positive role models and some political influence,� she said. She said it was a major issue when she ran in 2014. “It was pretty new to people and they were pretty apprehensive about it,� Overby said. “Hopefully people aren’t too concerned about that issue now. I’m sure it will be visible in the state race, but it doesn’t qualify me one way or the other. I don’t want it to define my campaign. “My priority is to be an independent voice.� Contact Andy Rogers at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

SUN THISWEEK - Burnsville - Eagan Nov. 17, 2017 21A

CENTER, from 1A must not “go dark,� entered the city in the Mayors Challenge. Burnsville is one of more than 500 that applied. One will win a $5 million grant, four will win $1 million and 35 will get $100,000. The first round of awards is expected in January. Even if Burnsville doesn’t win a grand prize, assembling the application has helped focus city officials and business leaders on framing the problem and developing solutions. “Burnsville grew up around the Burnsville Center,� said Burnsville Chamber of Commerce President Jennifer Harmening, one of 20 people who participated in the application process. “The whole community kind of centers on that. We want that to continue, and we want to help support the mall owners. They’re a part of this, and they’re engaged in figuring out what’s next.� Stung by national retail bankruptcies and changing consumer habits, the 1.1 million-square-foot center faces problems shared by many shopping malls. Mall manager and coowner CBL & Associates Properties has estimated that 19 of the center’s 150 retail spaces are vacant, resulting in about 300 job losses, according to the grant application. Surrounding strip centers have lost about 16 tenants and 155 jobs, it said. The entire retail area employs about 7,000 over 600 acres, 96 occupied by Burnsville Center, the document said. Unabated vacancies at the mall could force it to close, spinning off closures in the rest of the area, it said. Declining property values and sales would depress property tax collections and state sales tax collections, it said. Burnsville Center general manager Joe Duperre, who took the job in May, isn’t buying a doomsday scenario. Other centers without Burnsville’s prime

location just west of Interstates 35W and 35E are far more threatened in today’s climate, he said. But market forces have taken their toll, said Duperre, who wouldn’t discuss the center’s vacancy rate. Bankruptcies that have hurt Burnsville Center include Sears and clothing retailers The Limited and Vanity, he said. “We’re not in a co-tenancy situation yet,â€? Duperre said, referring to a clause in some retail contracts that grants tenants reduced rent if key tenants or a certain number of tenants vacate a building. “You hate to see such an iconic store as Sears go into a bankruptcy situation, but I also look at it as an opportunity for development and redevelopment.â€? Duperre and his Tennessee-based company — which owns the mall along with Seritage Growth Properties, which owns the Sears space, Macy’s and JC Penney — have been working with city officials. “I think we welcome any help we can get,â€? Duperre said. “As a private business and being a community focal point, it’s important for us to embrace the community and move forward.â€? What does the future hold for the center, its outbuildings and its vast seas of parking? Mixed uses, Duperre suggested, maybe a hotel and conference center, housing, clinics, libraries and green space. “They’re all ideas until somebody steps up and signs — partners, joint ventures, what have you,â€? Duperre said. “But there’s a lot of talk on the table. I’ve been here almost six months now, and obviously we’re going to make some changes here.â€? As outlined in the Mayors Challenge application, the city is eying three strategies. • A master developer would be hired to begin a phased process of replacing underused parking areas with housing, lodging, structured parking

The space might be similar to Burnsville’s Nicollet Commons park, he said. • An “entrepreneurial zoneâ€? would help start-up businesses afford vacant tenant spaces in the mall. A revolving loan fund might offer build-out assistance or rent-payment guarantees.

Former NFL player, Lakeville resident part of Burnsville holiday show Ben Utecht plays the part of Andy Williams in Burnsville show How many Super Bowl players turn into Andy Williams at Christmas? If you answered just one — Ben Utecht, the former Super Bowl winner with the Indianapolis Colts and University of Minnesota football star, Hastings native, Lakeville resident, author and professional singer — Santa’s got something sweet for your stocking. Utecht, rockin’ Twin Cities soul man Mick Sterling and Twin Cities vocalist Cate Fierro have

created a nostalgic holiday shows again this year with “An Andy and Bing Christmas� concert featuring an orchestral accompaniment. The singers faithfully celebrate and re-create the classic Christmas albums of Andy Williams and Bing Crosby. For many Baby Boomers raised on Andy and Bing albums at Christmas, the familiarity will be heart-warming. For others hearing these beloved songs live for perhaps the first time in their lives, it aims to be a refreshing discovery and a new tradition. The nostalgic pageant is slated for 10 perPhoto submitted formances in Burnsville, Mick Sterling belts out a tune during one of his many blue rock shows he’s performed Rochester, Fairmont, over many years in the Twin Cities. Dawson, and Chanhassen throughout December. The local show is 4 p.m. Dec. 17 at the Ames Center, and will be played with the 60-piece Dakota Valley Symphony. “An Andy and Bing Christmas� is billed as being the most ambitious of all of the Mick Sterling Presents shows of recent years. It debuted in 2015 at the Chanhassen Fireside Theater to positive reviews. Included in the show

are Bing and Andy Christmas classics such as “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year,� “Santa Claus is Coming to Town,� “White Christmas,� “It’s Beginning to Look Like Christmas,� and “Christmas in Killarney.� Since embarking on a singing career, Utecht has recorded four albums, with his holiday record, “Christmas Hope,� earning a nomination for a 2012 Dove Award.

with brain trauma. Utecht suffered five known concussions playing in the NFL and went on to write a book and lecture about living with brain trauma. “There are a thousand singers out there, but very few Super Bowl Champions that are U of M alums who sing with symphony orchestras around the country,� Sterling said. “Add in Ben’s motivational speaking about traumatic brain injury and you have a remarkable human being that you can admire all year round and at Christmas.� Since the holidays are a time of giving, Andy and Bing audience members will have the opportunity to support the nonprofit sponsor of the show, The 30 Days Foundation, -which assists Minnesota families in real-life financial crisis with a one-time financial grant that is made payable only to the service provider. Since 2011, 30 Days has assisted over 70,000 families. More is at www.The30-DaysFoundation.org.
