First came the fire, then came a rainbow. Less than two months after an arsonist decimated their building, members of Burnsville High School’s Class of 1994 rushed through their outdoor commencement ceremony as storm clouds gathered. A group of graduates, diplomas in hand, spotted a rainbow that they said seemed to stretch from the high school stadium all the way to Metcalf Junior High, Vicki Roy recalled. “Even that ended up with this story-tale ending for them,� said Roy, a District 191 School Board member at the time. “It was what they needed to bring their high school career to a positive end.� Roy and two other former Burnsville-EaganSavage school officials

The city of Eagan may revisit its code for neighborhood solar arrays after one installation became a bit too big of an eyesore for neighbors. The city has approved a few residential solar panel arrays in the past as long as they adhere to code, but one caught the attention of a neighbor in a big way. During last week’s City Council meeting resident Bridget Bataglia officially appealed the City Council’s decision to allow the zoning of a neighboring solar array off Dodd Road near Bur Oaks Park. A 11.5 kilowatt, 12-foot high, 60-foot long solar array looms over her property, she said. There’s no large trees or other vegetation in the way.

“It’s clearly visible from my property,� Bataglia said. She showed a picture to the City Council that the solar array was visible from the front of her house. Solar array owner Dan Kieffer confirmed that planting trees and other vegetation would be a solution that he would offer. He said he put the solar array where it is because there are easements, a septic system, trees, and other structures elsewhere on the property. There’s a tree line along the north portion of his property, but a gap by Bataglia’s house. “My intention is to close the gap on in the tree line between properties,� Kieffer said. Whether that solves the issue remains to be seen. The City Council voted to extend the deadline to decide whether to confirm the approval of the See SOLAR, 9A

Rosemount High School marching band’s hard work pays off in NYC by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Thanksgiving Day is typically not reserved for giving presents, but the Rosemount High School marching band offered up a priceless gift to people numbering in the hundreds, thousands or maybe even more than that last week. After countless hours of practice, performing, fundraising and preparations, band members put everything they had been working toward the past 18 months into marching in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Hearts back home in Rosemount swelled with pride upon seeing the 1-minute, 15-second performance in Herald Square on NBC-TV, shouts of encouragement and applause rang through

Burnsville’s proposed tax Cartoons and monster cereals artist hike low by comparison Burnsville pursues book Vote on budget and levy is Dec. 5 by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Burnsville’s proposed 2018 city tax increase is lower than those in many suburbs in and around Dakota County. Burnsville’s proposed 3.9 percent levy increase is fourth-lowest among 14 metro suburbs chosen by city staff for comparison. Lakeville’s 5.9 percent increase topped the list. On the low end, Burnsville and Minnetonka are at 3.9 percent, Apple Valley and Woodbury are at 3.8 percent and Maple Grove is at 2.4 percent. “We’re on the low end in comparison to other

similar cities,� Finance Director Kelly Strey said at a Nov. 28 budget work session, the last before the council votes on the 2018 budget and levy on Dec. 5. Statewide, the average proposed increase is 6.8 percent. In Dakota County, only Apple Valley is lower than Burnsville, and not by much. Apple Valley’s proposed increase is 3.84 percent, compared with Burnsville’s 3.88 percent. West St. Paul, Inver Grove Heights and South St. Paul occupy the high end, at 11.3 percent, 11.18 percent and 9.39 percent, respectively. Burnsville Council Member Dan Kealey apSee TAXES, 8A

Lakeville family opens Indian Grocery in Apple Valley by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Although Hariny Kuttuva’s store has been open for less than four months, she’s already collected a few stories. One day a man walked into Mantra Bazaar, the Indian grocery, boutique and home decor store she opened in September with her husband, Ram Prakash. “He didn’t look a day older than 50. I was really stunned when I found out he was 85,� Kuttuva said. The man told Kuttuva he’d gotten in touch with someone who had taught him Indian cooking years ago. His diet, he said, was the reason he looked so young. “There is this concept in Ayurveda and Indian cuisine that if you treat your food as medicine, you won’t have to treat your medicine as food,� Kuttuva said. Her store is making it easier for people south of the river to access Indian foods, spices and handicrafts. “There’s so much we don’t know about our diet. We wanted to share the Indian diet and culture,� she said. “It’s kind of like a small window into Indian culture. And the response has been pretty great.� Kuttuva has a bachelor’s degree in engineering, and a master’s in human resources. Her family has owned businesses for generations, and she and her husband dreamed of building something of

Hariny Kuttuva, owner of Mantra Bazaar, stands in the lentil aisle. The store offers foods, spices and products for those familiar and unfamiliar with Indian cuisine and culture. their own. Kuttuva left her job as a Human Resources Analytics Leader at Hearth and Home Technologies in Lakeville to open and run the store. Mantra Bazaar not only serves Apple Valley, but also Lakeville, Burnsville, Farmington and Rosemount, as it is the closest Indian grocery to those cities. “We have to go to an Indian grocery every week,� she said. “Our cooking, 80 percent of what we cook requires ingredients that can really only be found here.� Although she’s lived in Lakeville for five years, she decided to build Mantra Bazaar in centrally-located Apple Valley. She said before opening Mantra Bazaar, if she wanted groceries she had to travel to Bloomington or Eagan — at least a 20 to 25 minute drive.

“Apple Valley is centrally located — Lakeville would have been too far south,� she said. “Although the Lakeville Indian community has been growing by leaps and bounds, we felt that from a business standpoint this was the best location.� Even people who aren’t used to shopping at Indian groceries have been stopping in for the specialized products. Kuttuva estimates about 20 percent of her clientele are non-Indian customers. So, what’s in the store? Kuttuva is excited about the wide selection of lentils they have to offer customers. She said although lentils are used in many Indian dishes, they are a popular option for vegetarians and vegans of diverse cultural backgrounds. Mantra Bazaar also offers a variety of Indian

spices, including whole bay leaves and cloves. Customers may be surprised to find a variety of packaged and ready-to-eat Indian dishes, as well as a wide variety of frozen foods from northern and southern regions of India, including vegetables and breads. Customers can find frozen naan, chapatti and stuffed paratha. In the refrigerator section, customers will find juices, basil seed drinks and yogurt. They’ll also find fresh produce including mangoes, guava, papaya, sugar cane and jackfruit. In addition to rice and atta flour, customers will find everything from ghee to coconut milk, mango pulp to pickles and chutneys. The store also sells many kinds of Ayurveda supplements. Kuttuva said she is hoping to cre-

ate guides so customers can learn more about the uses for each supplement while in the store, but until then she is happy to help customers discern which supplements are best for them. Everything in the home decor section of the store is handmade and imported directly from India. Customers will find handicrafts such as vases, masks, tray sets, decorative shelves, bottle holders, clocks and photo frames. “The handicraft industry is huge in India. They are super talented and we’ve always felt there is a huge potential there,� she said. “We wanted to bring it here and share it with everyone.� Mantra Bazaar carries casual and partyware appropriate for a variety of get-togethers. In the boutique, customers will find hand-embroidered dresses, tops and tunics. They’ll also find handmade silkthread jewelry and pashmina scarves made of 100 percent silk or wool. Kuttuva said the store has faced a few challenges in its first few months, but out of all of them, getting the word out has been the most difficult. She said many potential customers are in the habit of shopping at Indian groceries near their places of employment, and she wants to let people know there is now a store more located more conveniently to their homes. Giving customers the best value for the best price has also been a challenge, but Kuttuva said she’s able to buy most of Mantra Bazaar’s food products in bulk and offer the savings to the customers — allowing them to stay competitive with nearby grocery

chains Cub and Aldi. Kuttuva spends about 12 hours a day at the store, working to make improvements. As the store continues to develop, Kuttuva hopes to create meal kits for customers to purchase and get an introduction to Indian cooking. Kuttuva and Prakash are also considering selling their boutique and home decor items online, and they looking to create a small deli and expand the boutique area in the store. The store opened on Sep. 8, but Kuttuva and Prakash decided to wait until they could get a few more items on their shelves before scheduling the ribbon cutting. The ceremony, in partnership with the Apple Valley Chamber of Commerce, will be on Friday, Dec. 15, and is open to the public. Because the store will have been open for 98 days, Mantra Bazaar will be gearing up for a 100day celebration as well. The store will offer special promotions from the time of the ribbon cutting through the new year. Kuttuva said as the weather cools down, Mantra Bazaar will start providing customers with a free cup of chai while they shop. Mantra Bazaar is located in the Granada Center, off Cedar Ave, at 14809 Granada Ave, Apple Valley. It is open seven days a week from 10:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. with extended weekend hours.

Choirs, alumni to share message of peace Eastview choirs to continue annual tradition of ‘Ose Shalom’ by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Each winter, Eastview High School Director of Choirs Greg Douma uses music and tradition to bring people together. “[The Eastview High School choir directors] want to use music to build bridges and not exclude people,� Douma said. “We want it to validate different religions, cultures and historical perspectives.� That’s why Eastview High School’s winter choral concert concludes with a unique piece. To first-time concert-goers, the melody might be unfamiliar, but to veterans of the choir program, it’s a highly-anticipated annual tradition. The song is called “Ose Shalom,� which translates from Hebrew to English as, “The One Who Makes Peace.� “It is wishing people peace and happiness this time of year,� Douma said. “We do the concert during the holiday time of year, but we aren’t ending with a traditional Christmas song. Instead, we are acknowledging all the traditions that happen this time of year.� Although Douma conducts the choir now, Judy Sagen began the tradition before Eastview High School even existed. During her 37 years of teaching in District 196, Sagen taught at three of the high schools (Rosemount, Eagan and Eastview) and led co-curricular activities at Apple Valley High School. When she began teaching at Eagan High School, Sagen searched for the perfect piece to bring all the choirs together at the end of the winter concert. It was important to her to have diversity and variety in the music, and she couldn’t think of a better way to bring people together than a song with a message of peace and love. Often sung to close Rosh Hashanah or Friday

universal language for everyone. It has the power to bring us together from all over the world and I think our young people especially need to know how music can help them celebrate and remember good times but also get through dark times as they go through life,� Riddle said. Stiles agrees that music is a language for all — even those who don’t consider themselves musicians. “The great thing about music is that it’s such a universal language that you don’t have to sing or play an instrument to enjoy it. I always say to people who regretfully let me know that they played an instrument at a younger age, we always need an audience. No matter the culture or age, people are always going to love music and be around it. It is ingrained within us.� Eastview is not the only District 196 high school with a winter concert tradition. The choral concert at Apple Valley High School concludes with “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year,� Rosemount High School has concluded its winter choral concert with “Night of Silence� for the past 20 years and Eagan High School sings Carl Nygard’s “Carols Around� every year. Each of these closing traditions brings the choral community together in its own unique way. Eastview High School’s takes place on Monday, Dec. 18, with performances at 6 and 8 p.m. Eagan High School will hold two performances on Monday, Dec. 18 as well, one at 6 and one at 7:30 p.m. Apple Valley High School’s will be at 7 p.m. on Monday Dec. 18. Rosemount High School will host concerts on Sunday, Dec. 17 at 3 p.m. and Monday, Dec. 18 at 7 p.m. The winter concerts for each of the four high schools are free and open to the public.

Opinion Twin Cities leaders consider the future of business by Don Heinzman SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Because there is such a shortage of talented engineers, some businesses are not waiting for four-year colleges to produce graduates. Instead, they are starting their own short-term engineering schools where they will be able to develop skilled engineers in just three months, predicts Chris Locher. Locher, vice president of software development at the Nerdery, leads more than 350 user experience designers, software engineers, project managers, business analysts and quality assurance engineers. He was one of four leaders who recently predicted what might happen in four key areas of business and government in the next five years. Business leaders listened to them at a recent Business Day at Bloomington City Hall, sponsor of the talks on “Building a Future Ready Community.” Locher also said rapid technological changes are making us into “digital citizens” where we will control data about ourselves, enabling us to participate in a shared economy as we move for service from institutions to individuals. For example, due to our advanced data, we are taking Uber cabs at the rate of a million rides a day. Blockchain

Staff Columnist

Don Heinzman technology, used to keep track of transactions across numerous computers, is eliminating the middleman in real estate sales and is enabling music producers to make more profit. Locher predicted how employees may do their work in the future. They don’t have to live in Minnesota. His firm already has 40 who have moved to different states, thanks to changes in mobility where they can do their work. John Johannson, senior vice president of Colliers International, has over 30 years of experience in commercial real estate in this region. He also sees changes in where people want to work and live. One firm recently pulled out of an office complex with “lots of marble and granite” because his employees wanted to work at home or in more modest offices. Another example he cited is senior citizens wanting to live in apartments. He thought they’d like a location along a lake where they could watch the birds.

He soon discovered they prefer to be “where the action is” near a McDonald’s restaurant, a Walgreen’s drug store and where they are eagerly awaiting a Lunds & Byerlys, despite having to cross busy streets. He also predicted more driverless cars in the future, and he’s already building more power into his office buildings so cars can be recharged there. As for the future of local government, Burnsville Mayor Elizabeth Kautz, past president of the United States Conference of Mayors, predicts communities will get together to solve problems that overlap, like affordable housing. She says suburban cities can’t go it alone any longer and that’s why there is a regional conference of mayors to talk about common problems and solutions. Kautz said local government must avoid other levels of government “stealing our cheese,” like the federal government threatening to take away deductions for local sales. Tim Sandry, chair of the newly formed Bloomington Sustainability Commission, says the future looks “gloomy” in four areas: energy, climate change, solid waste and ground water. Globally, he predicts more devastating hurricanes and floods. Business is a target, he says, because it produces a lot of waste, particularly

from restaurants. Businesses use more energy, unleashing carbon dioxide, and they use lots of water, while also depositing fertilizer and salt into the watershed. He says Hennepin County may push businesses in enforcing the state law requiring cities to have recycling programs. Sandry says, however, “by going green, businesses can save some green.” For example, by recycling their own wastes, they can save the 31 percent tax by having a smaller dumpster and no tax on the bill. He also stressed businesses can save money by installing LED light bulbs, particularly if they have lighted parking lots. He is encouraging city staff to develop an “easy button” by creating a template to help businesses start recycling programs and financing them with money available from governments, particularly Hennepin County. Finally, Johannson predicts more people will be riding bikes back and forth to work. In his new office buildings, he’s installing more bike racks and special showers for the employees after the ride. A need to take a shower after a bike ride won’t change. Don Heinzman is a columnist for ECM Publishers. Columns reflect the opinion of the author.

Letters Corporations wouldn’t reinvest tax windfall To the editor: I thought I would give everyone some straight talk about the proposed tax bill that 2nd District U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis voted for. Here are some provisions of the bill: An employee forced to move to keep his job will not be able to deduct moving expenses but a company that moves out of state or the country will be able to deduct its moving expenses. A teacher will not be able to deduct school supplies he or she buys for their classroom but a company will be able to deduct office supplies. We as Minnesotans will not be able to deduct state and local taxes but a company gets to. The “nominal” (meaning the average) corporate tax rate with deductions is not the 35 percent number you continue to hear. It is closer to 23 percent with many paying nothing. There was a conference of the leading CEOs recently and they were asked for a show of hands how many would invest the windfall based in this bill in the United States, five hands out of a membership of 200 went up. The huge majority of corporations in the U.S. have been seeing huge profits and with interest rates so low if they wanted to increase investment in the U.S. they already have or could. Many companies have said in their corporate perspectives that they will do what they always have, raise the dividend and buy back more stock. That doesn’t sound like their investing in their plants and improving productivity to me. Also, to think that a company would increase employee

pay when they don’t have to, is just absurd. Lewis who was elected partially because he pretended to be a “budget hawk” must have forgotten that this bill raises the deficit by $1.5 trillion. Lewis has shown his true colors, he is a shill for corporate executive teams and the Republican Party, not what’s best for those who elected him. RICHARD JOHNSON Eagan

Will we evolve or devolve? To the editor: The latest government report on climate change not only declares that it’s real but also squarely places the blame on humans burning coal, oil and natural gas. This should be reason enough to switch to clean energy. But for those leaders who are still reluctant to take action, Dr. Bruce Snyder,

professor of neurology at the University of Minnesota School of Medicine, has a message: fossil fuels are very, very bad for our health. In a recent talk at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Burnsville, Snyder laid out a list of health consequences caused by our addiction to dirty energy. They include: heart and lung disease, stroke, cognitive decline, developmental disorders in babies and children, asthma, allergies, infectious diseases, heat-related illness and death, cancers, trauma and mental illness, food and water shortages leading to starvation and malnutrition. Add to this list the public health disaster of 25 million people per year worldwide displaced from their communities due to increasingly severe natural disasters such as sea level rise, hurricanes, flooding, droughts and wildfires.

clearly ruinous to the Earth’s ecology, to our economy and to our health. It seems the only good reason to keep burning fossil fuels is to support the businesses that extract and sell them.

Tax plan will hurt many To the editor: The current direction of tax overhaul in Congress is disturbing. Despite the projection of economic growth from the plan, there is little evidence to support that growth will be the likely scenario. Here is what we currently know that the tax plan will do for sure: 1) slash taxes for the wealthiest individuals in America; 2) have little to no impact on the middle class, and possible negative impact in years to come; 3) increase the deficit by $1.5 trillion over 10 years. Lawmakers recently passed a budget resolution in an effort to get the tax overhaul passed. It calls for cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, Pell grants, and housing subsidies. Even if the budget was submitted

with the sole purpose of allowing passage of the tax overhaul bill, it illuminates lawmakers’ intentions with these programs that assist low-income, moderate income, aging, and disabled Americans throughout the country. With little likelihood of increased economic growth and the certain ballooning deficit, taxpayers can count on cuts to these programs. As one who has spent his career providing mental health services, and educating students to provide mental health and other social services for our citizens most in need, I urge people to consider calling their representative to defeat the current tax plan.

I made the time to work with him and drive him to tutors and specialists. Despite these efforts, he kept falling further behind in his reading. He was still reading at a first-grade level when he entered fourth grade. We were completely burned out and at our wit’s end, then someone recommended that we look into Groves Academy, a school that specializes in kids with learning disabilities. Within the first year of attending Groves, our son made two years of progress in reading. After four years he has gained so much confidence, knows he’s smart and has dreams of someday becoming a veterinarian. The people at Groves have unlocked his academic potential, and have given him a chance to fulfill his dreams. Don’t let the school year be a source of dread and frustration. There are options out there. I’m thankful for our option with Groves Academy. ALLISON IVERSON Burnsville

Moral convenience To the editor: I see and hear mixed comments on how people in leadership positions should be treated as a result of sexual harassment. Too many of the comments are made based on what I will call an exercise in moral convenience. It depends on their political views, whether they believe the women’s accusations, and whether the person represents my geographic location. Are our morals steadfast or are they flexible based upon who it is, upon political parties, or upon other circumstances? Are we being consistent with our personal religious beliefs? Let us be firm and exercise consistent honest moral judgements as opposed to what is convenient to our wishes.

Woman builds Christmas village in her home Jones commemorates nearly 30 years of Apple Valley memories with display by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Polar bears, Harry Potter, a skier and a snowboarder, a grizzly bear with attitude, a Santa soaring through the air in a plane — these are all things that can be found in Diedre Jones’ Christmas village. Every winter, Jones converts the perimeter of her dining room and part of her living room into a miniature world, including cities, mountains, a lake and a farm. The village has over 70 buildings, and more than twice that in figurines. “It’s kind of funny about the village. Sometimes people will come over and see it and say ‘Oh!’ and that’s it,� she said. “Other people will start at one end and go and look at everything.� Beyond the sheer size of the village, the most striking aspect is something that can’t be seen — the meaning and memories behind each piece. It all began nearly 30 years ago when her husband gave her a model brew house made by Department 56, a popular line of quintessential Christmas villages sold by Dayton’s and Marshall Fields. Jones was inspired to create her own in-home Christmas village by her mother, as she used to set up a small display in her home every year. After moving to Apple Valley in 1989, Jones’ husband started giving her pieces for her own village, and she began to accumulate a collection. In the beginning, people gave her pieces of

One of her friends gave her a design studio building because Jones worked for 35 years as an interior designer for Horty Elving, now Wold Architects. Now that she’s retired, instead of designing the inside of hospitals and schools, Jones is designing the cities and landscapes that make up her village. “I like the sense of design and order and organizing and enjoying details,� she said. Jones accumulated several pieces on her own from a variety of places: Goodwill, garage sales, Menards, Michael’s and JoAnne’s. The plastic model train circling one of the cities is from Rainbow Foods. Some of the buildings have a local tie, such as a schoolhouse labeled “Apple Valley School.’ Some

are just for fun, like a small collection of campers in the forest scene. Other pieces are travel souvenirs, such as a figurine of a man and a woman selling beer and pretzels from her trip to Munich, Germany during Oktoberfest. She also has a figurine of the Virgin Mary surrounded by angels from her trip to Fatima, Portugal, and boats from Amelia Island, where her parents used to go in the winter. Some pieces commemorate events, such as a figurine depicting the fire fighters after 9/11 and one of people ringing in the new century, holding a banner that says “2000.� After her dog died, she found a similar-looking dog figurine, a cross between a yellow lab and a dachshund, and placed him at the entrance of the Christmas village display as a way to welcome view-

Legislators step down, task force advocates step up Maye Quade, Port, BeckerFinn continue to push for creation of sexual harassment task force by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Two Minnesota legislators resigned last week, following allegations of sexual harassment. Sen. Dan Schoen, DFL-St. Paul Park, announced his plans to step down on Thursday, Nov. 21. Less than two hours later, Rep. Tony Cornish, R-Vernon Center, did the same. Cornish announced his plans to leave office as a way of taking responsibility for his actions. “As a proud former peace officer and longtime champion for public safety, I am forced to face the reality that I have made some at the Capitol feel uncomfortable, and disrespected,� he said in a statement. Schoen, on the other hand, continues to deny allegations. When his actions were first brought under the public eye, Schoen had said the accusations of sexual harassment were either “completely false� or “taken far out of context.� “I am hurt by these allegations but I take them seriously. It was never ever my intention to make an inappropriate advance on anyone,� Schoen said in a statement. On Wednesday, Schoen’s attorney, Paul Rogosheske, threw a twist in his defense. He alleged that the sexual harassment accusations were politically motivated, saying that Schoen had been warned by his colleagues that sex-

ual harassment allegations would arise if he ran for auditor — a position he’d publicly expressed interest in. He did not, however, disclose who made those threats. Schoen continues to claim innocence, but he’s decided to step down because he doesn’t feel he can be as effective anymore. He says he’s learned from the situation, and he hopes others can too. “It is going to take all of us to honestly communicate with each other, and to understand how a message is received is just as important as the intent. No one can go through this kind of experience unchanged,� Schoen said in a statement. “I know this experience will be a lesson for me and I hope it can be used as an opportunity for a greater dialogue.� Both Cornish and Schoen apologized for the way their actions may have hurt others. Their actions came to light after several women went public with their own stories of sexual harassment. Rep. Erin Maye Quade, DFL-Apple Valley, and 2015 House District 56B candidate Lindsey Port — both of whom reported and publicly announced their stories of harassment — worked with Rep. Jamie Becker-Finn, DFLRoseville, to call for the creation of a task force to address issues of sexual harassment at the State Capitol. All three women have made statements saying they remain dedicated to creating the task force. In response to Schoen’s announcement of resignation, Maye Quade made a statement saying it wasn’t enough. “One senator’s resignation does not change the culture. I want to change the culture,� she said.

After Cornish had also resigned, Maye Quade released a second statement, saying the resignations alone will not end sexual harassment — inside or outside the Minnesota Legislature. “Unless systematic and widespread changes are enacted, these behaviors and subsequent attempts to cover up instances of harassment will continue,� she said. In addition to making the State Capitol a safer and more respectful place of employment, she hopes creating a task force will allow legislators to share best practices with businesses and organizations across the state. “This work does not end when my personal workplace sees change. It is imperative we continue this conversation, execute consequences and implement new policies so the server, the scientist, the sales clerk, the teacher, the journalist and the nurse see changes in their workplace, too,� she said in the statement. On the day Schoen and Cornish said they planned to step down, Port posted on her campaign Facebook page, announcing the release of her statement but saying she was heading to Ireland with her husband to attend a friend’s wedding. “Our energy is focused on changing the culture, and I look forward to continuing to work on that upon my return,� Port wrote in the post. Port said she wants to continue working toward justice and protection for victims of sexual harassment. “It brings me no joy to see Senator Schoen resign, but it does bring relief to see that we can hold people responsible,� she See HARASS, 8A

ers. Jones usually sets up her village the day after Christmas. By now, she has developed a system. Sometimes her mom or sister hep her set it up, sometimes she does it alone, but the steps are always the same. The display extends across eight separate surfaces, so the first step is to supplement her dining room and living room furniture with folding tables. Then, she sets up the houses. Many have windows that light up or characters that move, and each has to be carefully arranged and connected to a series of power strips. She uses blocks of Styrofoam to create different layers and heights in the village, and covers the sides of the tables with white plastic table cloths to hide the cords before adding the figurines and plastic trees. Finally, she

“They were my aunt’s, and when she died I took them because, I mean, they are heritage,� Jones said. “They are part of your family.� Some things stay the same every year. Ebenezer Scrooge always goes in front of the bank, and a fancy model Wells Fargo carriage (once a bank for coins) goes in front of the opera house. The lighthouses always go by the lake. But other things move around, making the village new each year. “This is not a collector’s item — they aren’t all the same series — it’s a combination. It’s like someone’s memories,� she said. Although Jones doesn’t consider herself religious, she thinks the holiday season is an important time to celebrate generosity and being together with loved ones. “It’s all about family and giving – universal ideas. There’s so much that’s so secular about the holiday now, but it’s not bad because things are still about humans caring for humans,� she said. “And it’s also a time for memories.� Jones said she isn’t looking to add much more to the village because she is running out of room, but her collection continues to expand nonetheless. “When you are a collector, you can’t help it. You keep adding,� she said. “And once in a while, someone will still give me something.� With each new piece, her collection of buildings and figurines grows, but she says the real value comes from her collection of memories — the significance behind each piece — that expands every year as she sets up and displays the village for others to see.

fills in the entire display with cotton “snow.� In addition to schoolchildren jumping rope outside of the school and nuns walking in front of a cathedral, the village features a deer licking a snowman, bears fishing and a penguin. Some of the buildings have characters built in to them, like Santa on a roof, a florist in her shop, a baker in the bakery and animals in the pet shop. Because the pieces are from a variety of stores and collections, Jones arranges them so that the bigger figurines are toward the front of the display. She said her Christmas village is more about including different memories than it is about having a perfectly coordinated display.

Year-end festivities set at Farmington temple Minnesota Hindu Milan Mandir’s Cultural Fest takes place on Dec. 2 by Jody Peters SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The holiday season can be stressful for many people, but it can also be a time of celebration. Minnesota Hindu Milan Mandir, a Hindu temple located in Farmington, is inviting the community to its annual Cultural Fest on Saturday, Dec. 2, to celebrate both the good and bad times of the past year and look forward to the year to come. Since 2014, the temple has been housed in Farmington at 501 Walnut St. Prior to that, it was located in Eagan. It moved to Farmington when the organization realized it needed more space. Satya Balroop, general secretary for the temple, said that the temple has something for everyone, whether that’s meditation or giving thanks, so that “anyone can come and find something for their individual self to practice in their daily life.� “People who are in-

That theme of inclusivity will be apparent at the upcoming Cultural Fest, Balroop said. “We usually have people of all races, all colors. Caste or creed doesn’t have an existence there. People of all religions, races, they come forward and they enjoy the event because it’s just having fun together and not recognizing what they look like or what their religion is,â€? she said. Balroop said the festival is an opportunity to bring the community together to “rally all the strength that we need to take us to the end of the year.â€? She said they celebrate everything that has been accomplished in 2017. “Togetherness, love, the good times and not so good times, our gains and losses, things we have accomplished and also our failures.

Everyone is invited to attend, whether they practice Hinduism or not. Balroop added that everything the temple does is open to the public, and ultimately the festival is just a chance to have fun. “It’s like a melting pot. You just come and dissolve in the happiness that we try to create there with music and fun and dances and food,â€? Balroop said. The Cultural Fest will be held at 501 Walnut St. in the Milan Mandir Auditorium from 6-9:30 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at the door; the entry donation is $10 per person and children under 5 years old can attend for free.

Lakeville graduate seeks to influence how young workers are perceived Works to fight stereotypes by Kayla Culver SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Much like generations before, young professionals are working toward success as they leave college and start their careers. Lakeville North High School graduate Shayla Owodunni is currently a 27-year-old finance manager at Expedia in Seattle. She was recently chosen to be featured in the Wall Street Journal as a voice for young workers for her impact in the corporate world. The former Lakeville resident never saw herself leaving Minnesota and originally planned on becoming a lawyer or working in advertising. She changed course while attending college to study finance and accounting, which brought age and personality to the surface

Shayla Owodunni of her identity. “When people talk about millennials, there are certain stereotypes people think of when they think of millennials in the workplace,� Owodunni said. Owodunni has mostly heard that millennials are indecisive and have entitlement issues. She believes every generation has a fair share of people who have entitlement issues and doesn’t see her generation that way.

“I think my age group sees a target we want to strive for, and we give ourselves a seat at the table. I don’t think it’s entitlement but more so the confidence to make things happen,� she said. Owodunni is also involved with Women at Expedia Learning and Leading (WELL) as well as its Black Employee Network to stay involved and to build relationships. She sees herself as having an outgoing personality and that is not what is typically expected of someone who works in finance and accounting. “Every company and department really needs communication, and I’ve wedged myself between (as an) educator of financial concepts and translating it to non-financial users, which is something I’ve seen myself as doing for years. It’s nice to be that go-between,� she said. Interning for a market-

ing and advertising firm, Owodunni was able to showcase her communication skills and was often told that was the route she should stick to, but said she knew that finance and accounting were where her passion resided. Owodunni said she has heard many times about the stereotypes of young workers. She is working to debunk the negative perceptions while also staying true to herself. She adds that many millennials have more compassion in the work they do rather than working to collect a check. It’s more about finding the meaning behind what they are doing. “At the end of the day it was what the quality and characteristics of the role and how I can excel. Now being in finance and accounting, it’s about how I can take things I enjoy like communicating with people, educating or putting creativity and ideas

into my work,� she said. “(I am) looking at each role and asking if I can infuse my personality into that role and make it my own.� The Lakeville Young Professionals committee acknowledges those who are not only young at age but young at heart as well. “A lot of businesses in Lakeville have younger professionals that are driving longevity and that’s a big asset for us and the city of Lakeville,� Young Professionals co-chair Brianne Lawrence said. Lawrence owns Edge Real Estate Service in Lakeville and has worked at her profession for 15 years. She has also worked with professionals of all ages and sees the impact networking with other like-minded young professionals has on the community and in her own business. “When I have stresses or things that are impact-

ing me, there are usually other people in my shoes. ‌ It’s been nice having people I can bounce ideas off of and have support as well. It’s especially nice for younger people who are professionals,â€? she said. Owodunni said she works to stay focused on maintaining a professional attitude and executive presence and not reflect what people may assume about her. Doing her homework and not walking into a meeting unprepared is one way she says she can control one negative perception of millennials. “After I do my part, people are really going to think what they want to. I can’t be everyone’s friend and not everyone is going to like me and that’s OK,â€? she said. Contact Kayla Culver at kayla.culver@ecm-inc.com.

Education Family coding event set in District 191 Burnsville High School will host a “Family Hour of Code� on Dec. 7 from 6-8 p.m. as part of the worldwide Computer Science Education Week Dec. 4-10. This is the first time BHS will host a familyoriented Hour of Code event. The goal is to have District 191 families with students who are interested in computer science get together and try coding. Coding is telling a computer exactly what to do by giving it step-by-step directions. It’s also known as computer programming. “With computers everywhere, we need to encourage and engage our students’ interest in computer science,� BHS computer science teacher Cindy Drahos said. “Every student deserves the chance to learn computer science to access the best careers of the 21st century.� Drahos also noted that in the manufacturing field, there are more job open-

ings in software than production for the first time, as reported by Burning Glass. The event is open to all district families. Families will have a chance to use the Code.org website, along with coding programs such as Codeable, Scratch and App Inventor, and to put together a Raspberry Pi for coding. Another goal of the event is to show how district students are getting the opportunity to learn coding in various classes from kindergarten through grade 12. “We want to showcase how all students in our district have opportunities to learn coding,� said Rachel Gorton, District 191 instructional technology coordinator. “All students learn how to code in elementary school, and middle school students continue to code in exploratory courses. In high school, students have many classes they can take to further enhance their skills.� There will be more than 40,000 Hour of Code events throughout the world with tens of millions of people trying out code over the span of Computer

Science Education Week. If you would like to learn more about the Hour of Code event and Computer Science Education week, visit CSEdWeek.org.

TAXES, from 1A plauded Burnsville’s low rank. “This was probably the most smilecreating chart that I’ve seen in awhile,� he said, referring to the county comparisons. Kealey said he’s heard people cite Burnsville’s comparatively low taxes among the reasons they moved here. The city’s taxable market value of $5.7 billion is among the county’s highest. Only Eagan ($7.5 billion) and Lakeville ($6.2 billion) are higher. Burnsville ranked second in Dakota County in taxable market value growth over the past year. Eagan is first at $554 million. Lakeville is a close third at $503 million. Burnsville ranks relatively low among Dakota County cities for new construction, showing that its existing property values are rising faster than some other cities’, Strey said.

Interchange, pedestrian bridge

The project would ease the flow of heavy truck traffic from the mining, landfill and other industrial uses west of Interstate 35W and north of Highway 13. “Anybody who’s ever tried to get on and off of West Cliff at certain times of the day, we’re not talking 20 or 30 seconds of delay, we could be talking five to 10 minutes of delay, and from a commerce standpoint and an access standpoint, that’s significant to that area,� Public Works Director Steve Albrecht said. The pedestrian bridge would provide a crossing over 13 at Nicollet and, potentially, a crossing over Nicollet also. The city will apply for federal funding that would cover up to 80 percent, or $5 million, of the cost, with the city and Dakota County paying the rest. The Cliff Road project is also eligible for grants. The city is eying the Minnesota Highway Freight Program and possibly the Minnesota Host Community Landfill Grant Program. Depending on grant funding, the Cliff Road project could be done in 2019 or 2021-22. The bridge could be done in 2021-22. The city has been eying both projects for years. Without grant eligibility that could pay for about 80 percent of both projects, “We wouldn’t undertake them ... at this time,� Albrecht said.

The council also reviewed the proposed capital improvement program for 20182022, which includes an interchange project at Cliff Road and Highway 13 and a pedestrian bridge at Nicollet Avenue and Highway 13. The interchange project would realign the western loop of the Cliff-13 interchange. It includes a roundabout and a new street connection through the south- Contact John Gessner at john.gessner@ ern portion of the old Knox Lumber site. ecm-inc.com or 952-846-2031. HARASS, from 5A said in the statement. “We have a choice as a society to make the necessary changes to protect people in the workplace from harassment, and I’m hopeful that doesn’t end with a few resignations, but with a renewed commitment to stand together and say ‘No More.’ � Becker-Finn told the newspaper she agrees the resignations aren’t enough,

and she will continue to push for the task force as well. “Although I’m relieved that Representative Cornish and Senator Schoen have resigned, it does not solve the underlying culture that allowed this behavior to occur and to continue for as long as it did,� Becker-Finn said. “I agree completely that a task force is still necessary to address these problems.� Cornish has agreed to

leave office by Dec. 1, and Schoen has agreed to officially resign by Dec. 15. Gov. Mark Dayton said he will call for special elections to fill both open seats once he received the resignations in writing, and he hopes to have new legislators in place by the time the next session reconvenes on Feb. 20.

Rosemount resident is Miss Teen Photo submitted

Peyton Schroeder of Rosemount was selected as Miss Teen Minnesota USA 2018 during Sunday’s pageant at the Ames Center in Burnsville. A capacity crowd filled the theater for the finals, when a panel of judges also selected Kalie Wright of Eagle Bend as Miss Minnesota USA. Both titleholders will compete next year at the Miss USA and Miss Teen USA national pageants. Both will each receive thousands of dollars in prizes and awards. During their reign, winners are given the tools to personally and professionally enrich others by providing humanitarian efforts to affect positive change, all while developing their personal career goals.

SOLAR, from 1A zoning, or appeal it, to its next meeting Dec. 19. The city can’t compel the homeowners to come to an agreement on screening. Council members said they knew how they would vote, but Mayor Mike Maguire wasn’t sure. “It’s seems at this point that this is something that can be worked out between the owners,� Council Member Paul Bakken said. Several council members said having a solar array looming over their property would upset them greatly. Council Member Cyndee Fields said “if this was in my backyard, I’d be livid.� “I’m all for (solar arrays), but when we have neighbors affected by this, it’s only going to cause bad neighbors,� Fields said.

ARTIST, from 1A for 10 years, this artist is not starving. “If you’re a professional and a good business person, you can do OK as an artist,� said Hohnstadt, who counts the Hasbro toy company as one of his chief clients. “I’m not rich or anything, but I’m making a living.� In his spare time Hohnstadt has been strengthening his chops as a funnyman and cartoonist. A while back he started adding puns and other humorous text to the usually silly sketches he had been making to keep his skills sharp. “But now I’ve been doing this for over two years, and I’ve got over 100 gag comics,� said Hohnstadt, whose personal publishing debut was a small 2016 booklet of “Sketchbook Silliness� he sent to clients and sold at conventions and on-

Eagan approved Kieffer’s zoning permit application last summer. Solar arrays are permitted as accessory structures governed by applicable codes. It was approved Aug. 2. In September, Kieffer said he applied to change the location of the structure, but it remained in compliance with zoning regulations. The city has approved zoning permits for solar arrays both in May and July for other structures. Bataglia said the other property owner “did a fantastic job screening from their neighbors. It’s not visible to their neighbors.� But there was no city code forcing homeowners to offer screening. “There was no requirement that it was to be screened but it happened to be screened,� Maguire said. There are no screening requirements or standards

for accessory structures, which include items such as swing sets, patios and pergolas. Solar arrays are allowed in residential districts. They require a variance to be placed in the front yard, otherwise they can be placed in the side yard or back yard as long as they meet setback requirements. Maguire said: “It’s quite possible to look at the codes as they are, and reveal some weaknesses.� He said Kieffer’s looks like it meets the standards, but the city should ask themselves whether to adjust the codes to avoid a situation like this in the future. “I do think it calls for us to look at the things we have in code,� Maguire said, “see if we need to have something specific to solar panels and screening.� City Administrator David Osberg said the

line. “Some of them have been pretty widely shared. There are websites where people just post funny memes and stuff. Some of them, like 9gag, Imgur and Bored Panda, have put my stuff on the front page.� His “Mostly Nonsense� project, which continues the “Sketchbook Silliness theme,� is about halfway to its $4,500 crowdfunding goal on Kickstarter. If it doesn’t make it by Dec. 7, the crowdfunding will disappear and Hohnstadt will have to decide whether to self-publish the 112-page book of cartoons and smaller illustrations. But he’s encouraged by the support. “People are sharing my cartoons,� Hohnstadt said. “They seem to like ’em.� He’s a fan of comedy who as a kid memorized Bill Cosby stand-up routines from the albums his

parents bought. “There are theories about what’s funny and what’s not,� said Hohnstadt, who has begun reading books on humor. “There are techniques and gimmicks people can use.� As a cartoonist, he doesn’t court controversy. “Most of what I do is just silly, goofy nonsense,� Hohnstadt said. “I try really hard to be noncontroversial, very family-friendly, kind of the opposite of a lot of humor now. People value authenticity. I think that’s a good thing. ... But I think there’s a trend in comedy now to equate authenticity with snark or a kind of cynicism. And I don’t necessarily agree with that.� Doing most of his work on the computer, Hohnstadt occasionally departs from light humor to make a cartoon illustrating his strong Chris-

Eagan Advisory Committee is doing research with regard to other communities’ regulations on solar panels. “This is an opportunity to amend or rewrite, to address this whole,� Bataglia said. “There will be more people right behind me if this is in their backyard.�

New neighbors Eagan residents will likely get a few new neighbors after the Eagan City Council approved a pair of rezoning measures last week for residential developments. Developers have plans to build 22 single family lots on 12.2 acres west of Highway 3 east of Dodd Road near the Rosemount VFW. Currently the lots include just one single family home and a mix of industrial storage uses. Plans include the extension of both Parkside Circle and Parkside Court.

I don’t know if I’d necessarily want to do that again, but it got shared like crazy.� Hohnstadt’s work is at www.cedricstudio.com and www.sketchbooksilliness.com.

Sports Boys hockey preview: several could contend in South Suburban by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Although the South Suburban Conference isn’t heavily represented in the Let’s Play Hockey state Class AA boys rankings – Lakeville North is the only team in the top 20 – it still looks to be a competitive winter on local rinks. The conference has 2017 Class AA fourthplace finisher Lakeville South, defending league champion Prior Lake and 15th-ranked Lakeville North among the contenders for the championship. Other SSC teams such as Burnsville, Eagan, Eastview and Apple Valley also will try to figure out how to muster a challenge for St. Thomas Academy, the defending Section 3AA champion and favorite to repeat this season. Following are capsule previews of South Suburban teams in the Sun Thisweek coverage area:

Burnsville Coach: Janne Kivihalme. Last season: 17-9-1 overall, 14-3-1 conference, reached Section 3AA semifinals. 2017-18 so far: 0-1; lost to Hill-Murray 3-2. Next game: at St. Michael-Albertville, 3 p.m. Saturday. Outlook: Regardless of how many new players join the varsity roster, the Blaze usually finds a way to remain competitive. This year’s team figures to rely heavily on senior Brehdan Engum, who not only is the top defenseman

but the leading returning scorer (24 points last season). Junior Logan Kittleson and senior Robbie Wedan are among the returning forwards. Connor Thomas and Tieler Sanders have varsity experience on defense. Goalies Connor Hayden and Conner Mauck had about 22 minutes of varsity experience between them last season.

Eagan Coach: Mike Taylor. Last season: 15-12, overall, 8-10 conference, reached Section 3AA semifinals. First game: at Park of Cottage Grove, 7:30 p.m. Thursday. Outlook: Brandon Toussaint, a senior, returns in goal after playing about half the varsity minutes last season. The Wildcats also return some offense; captains Keegan Johnson and Nick Sherek were their leading scorers last season. Captain Isaac Kawlewski is the only senior on defense, but juniors Jonah Miklya, Jack Mason and Eli Donley have experience on the blue line. Toussaint, Kawlewski and forward Cole Peplinski are the only seniors on the varsity roster.

Eastview Coach: Drey Bradley. Last season: 14-11-1 overall, 10-7-1 conference, lost in Section 3AA quarterfinals. 2017-18 so far: 2-0; defeated Park of Cottage Grove 5-3 and Bloomington Jefferson 5-4. Next game: vs. Hill-

Burnsville goalie Connor Hayden gets set for a shot by Hill-Murray’s Ben Helgeson during the Blaze’s 3-2 loss Tuesday night at Burnsville Ice Center. Murray, 2 p.m. Saturday. Outlook: Junior Zach Anderson and senior Nate Bordson were the Lightning’s leading scorers last season, both with 26 points. They picked up this season where they left off last year as each had six points in the Lightning’s first two games. Junior Adam Kratz had five points in the first two games, and senior Chris Fan is another returning forward. Seniors Joey Stillings and Lenny Nunn return on defense, and senior Ben Beattie had a 2.69 goals-against average in 19 games last season. This could be a team ready to take the next step, judging by its schedule – the Lightning takes on state powers St. Thomas Academy and Hill-Murray this week.

Apple Valley Coach: Chris Sikich. Last season: 8-18 overall, 4-14 conference, lost in Section 3AA quarterfinals. 2017-18 so far: 2-0; defeated Bloomington Jefferson 2-1 and Park of Cottage Grove 6-5. Next game: at Hastings, 7:30 p.m. Thursday. Outlook: The Eagles are hoping one-goal victories in their first two games can get them started on the right path. The Eagles return three of their top four scorers from last year (Will Wright, Parker Jamison and Ryan Gale), although they will be looking for more offense after averaging barely two goals a game in 2016-17. Apple Valley has some veterans

on defense, including seniors Ethan Michaelson, Ryan Daggett and Nick Plagge, and goalies Ethan Kapps and Lucky Bolden both played on varsity last season. Corey Zuelow, another returnee, scored three goals in the first two games.

Rosemount

Ridge (after this edition went to press). Senior forward Grant Horsager was Rosemount’s leading scorer last season and senior Ben Garrity had a 3.06 goals-against average. Other top returnees include juniors Tyler Linnerooth, Max Carter, Noah Berg and Jackson Sabo, senior Griffin Jagoe and sophomore Mason Wheeler. Freshman Jake Ratzlaff, a highly regarded youth player who already has verbally committed to the University of Minnesota, figures to contribute immediately on defense.

Coach: Rick Saintey. Last season: 11-14-1 overall, 6-12 conference, lost in Section 3AA quarterfinals. Next game: at Bloomington Jefferson, 7 p.m. Thursday. Outlook: Saintey takes over as head coach after Email Mike Shaughnessy at serving as an assistant to mike.shaughnessy@ecmBrad Stepan.

Girls hoops preview: Who can challenge Lightning, Panthers? Just two SSC teams ranked in preseason top 20 by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Eight girls basketball teams in the South Suburban Conference are anxious to prove they’re not just afterthoughts. The Minnesota Basketball News preseason Class 4A rankings had just two South Suburban teams in the top 20 – Eastview at No. 2 and Lakeville North at No. 3. That makes sense, as the Lightning and Panthers were third and fourth in the 2017 state tournament and both have multiple returning starters. The question is, who will challenge the Lightning and Panthers? That’s just starting to be sorted out. Following are capsule previews of teams in the Sun Thisweek coverage area:

Burnsville Coach: Maurice Hodges. Last season: 5-22 overall, 2-16 conference, lost in first round of Class 4A, Section 3 playoffs. 2017-18 so far: 1-1; lost to Henry Sibley 45-43, defeated Bloomington Jefferson 63-58.

Next game: vs. Edina, 7 p.m. Friday. Outlook: The Blaze, which hasn’t had a winning season since 2009-10, will look for a fresh start under Hodges, who takes over after coaching in the Prior Lake boys program. Top returning player is sophomore guard Zhane Thompson, an honorable mention all-conference member last season. Thompson averaged 9.7 points a game last season. Senior Natalie Engel and sophomores Paige Servais and Megan Diggan also saw varsity playing time last year. Engel and Carresha Russell are the only seniors on a roster that includes five sophomores and five ninth-graders. Thompson had 13 points and Engel and Annalyse Fogan scored 12 each in the Blaze’s victory over Bloomington Jefferson on Tuesday night.

Eagan Coach: Matt Froehle. Last season: 3-24 overall, 2-16 conference, lost in first round of Class 4A, Section 3 playoffs. 2017-18 so far: 0-1; lost to Park of Cottage Grove 43-35. Next game: at Hastings, 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 5. Outlook: All-conference honorable mention guard Lauren

Boike (also a member of Eagan’s state championship soccer team) will be counted on as the Wildcats continue their rebuild. Boike averaged 8.5 points last season and scored 16 in the season opener against Park of Cottage Grove on Tuesday. Boike, guard McKenna Miller and forwards Megan Wieczorek and Alex Jagler are the four seniors on the roster, and all are captains. Junior guard Hannah Lamkin added 11 points in Tuesday’s game.

Apple Valley Coach: Bryan Doughty. Last season: 21-7 overall, 13-5 conference, reached Class 4A, Section 3 semifinals. Next game: at Park of Cottage Grove, 7 p.m. Friday. Outlook: Jeremy Gordon stepped down as head coach after guiding the Eagles to their best season in years. But there’s still talent in place for Doughty, who begins his first season at Apple Valley. Senior forward Brynne Rolland was the team’s second-leading scorer last season, averaging 17.4 points. Mykel Parham, a 6-foot-2 forward, is expected to have a much bigger role this season after being honorable mention all-con-

Notebook: Local administrators honored by MSHSL by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Three local high school activities directors – Sandra Setter Larsen (Eagan), Matt Percival (Eastview) and Bill Tschida (Farmington) – were among 37 administrators recognized by the Minnesota State High School League on Saturday for their work in building citizenship and character. The recognition ceremony took place during halftime of the state Class 5A football championship game at U.S. Bank Stadium. The administrators cited took part in the MSHSL’s Why We Play InsideOut program, which seeks to redefine the role of interscholastic sports by, among other things, steering them away from a winat-all-costs mentality. The Minnesota Vikings and Minnesota Super Bowl Host Committee Legacy Fund also took part in

the program.

Football Showcase Several players from the Sun Thisweek and Dakota County Tribune coverage area will be part of the Minnesota Football Showcase on Dec. 9 at U.S. Bank Stadium. This is the second year the high school all-star game has been played in December after previously taking place during the summer. It’s also the second year it will be at U.S. Bank Stadium. Kickoff is 3 p.m. Ninety-seven players will be split between North and South teams. Among players on the South roster are Lakeville North defensive back Braden Walsh, Burnsville running back Tre Thomas, Apple Valley offensive lineman Spencer Rolland, Lakeville South offensive lineman Matt Borowicz, Rosemount offensive lineman Jacob Smith and Apple Valley defen-

sive lineman Riley Hansen. East Ridge head coach Dan Fritze, an Eagan High School alumnus, will be head coach of the South team. Dave Fritze, former Eagan head coach and currently an assistant coach at East Ridge, is director of the allstar game.

Get ’em early If you are planning to watch the Dec. 7 Apple Valley vs. Minnehaha Academy boys basketball game in person, it probably wouldn’t be a good idea to wait until the day of the game to get your ticket. On Wednesday, the school began selling tickets to the public for the game that will showcase two of the country’s top high school point guards, Tre Jones of Apple Valley and Jalen Suggs of Minnehaha Academy. AVHS students, teachers and staff were allowed to buy tickets before the public sale began.

Whatever tickets remain can be purchased at the school from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday, Dec. 4, through Wednesday, Dec. 6. Tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for students. Doors will open at 6 p.m. Dec. 7, one hour before tipoff. The game will be televised on ESPNU, making it the second time Apple Valley has been on national television. ESPN also televised a Dec. 2013 game between Apple Valley and Whitney Young of Chicago that featured Apple Valley guard Tyus Jones and Whitney Young center Jahlil Okafor, both of whom had signed to play at Duke University. After one season at Duke – in which the Blue Devils won the national championship – Tyus Jones and Okafor declared for the NBA draft. Jones was drafted by Cleveland and then traded to Minnesota, where he is in his third season with the Timberwolves. Okafor

plays for the Philadelphia 76’ers. Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski and associate head coach Jeff Capel came to Apple Valley for the 2013 game to watch their future players. Tre Jones signed with Duke on Nov. 8, but it’s not known whether Krzyzewski will attend the Dec. 7 game. Duke does not have a game that night. Tre Jones led Apple Valley to the 2017 state Class 4A championship and Suggs’ Minnehaha Academy team won the Class 2A title. Suggs, who is a sophomore, already has a number of college scholarship offers, including one from Minnesota. The game against Minnehaha Academy will be the second of the 2017-18 season for Apple Valley, which opens at home against Robbinsdale Armstrong on Tuesday, Dec. 5.

FIRE, from 1A held during the society’s October-November exhibit at Burnsville’s Ames Center. Roy, former BHS Principal Howard Hall and former Assistant Superintendent Gerry Ackermann gave detailed recollections while standing in front of framed newspaper accounts of the fire hung in the Ames Center gallery. “It was my understanding that to this day, it is still the biggest fire at a school in the country,� with damage and losses estimated at $17 million, Roy said. The arsonist, Jeffrey Gartner, admitted to setting fires at Burnsville, Minnetonka and Edina high schools. After being declared competent

to stand trial, he pleaded guilty in 1999 to three counts of first-degree arson. Breaking in through the main entrance late Monday, April 25, the arsonist poured an accelerant believed to be stronger than gasoline. Hall said he was called to the active fire scene at 2:30 a.m. on Tuesday. Firefighters entering the building in teams of two were limited in how long they could stay, Hall said. “It was all because of the fumes, as I understood it, from that carpet burning,� he said. District officials had hoped to resume school in a few days, even without the ruined carpet, Ackermann said.

But they quickly learned the accelerated fire had burned so hot, some of the concrete was compromised, rendering part of the building unsafe, he said. “And the other part of the building had so many carcinogens and whatever that we were really not allowed to go into the building,� he said. “Howard’s first adventures into the building were quickly stopped. I remember one of the huge issues was that our teaching staff lost everything. They so much wanted to get in. They had years and years’ worth of notes and teaching syllabuses and curriculum that they couldn’t get. We lost all our textbooks.� With the end of the school year less than two months away, Ackermann said officials scrambled for commercial building space in which to conduct high school. None if it was satisfactory, he said. So the district settled on split shifts at the Sky Oaks Elementary-Nicollet Junior High campus in Burnsville. High schoolers occupied the buildings from 6-11 a.m., followed by the younger students from noon to 5 p.m. “It was the following Tuesday� when high school classes resumed, Roy said. “They missed

five days of school.� The details seemed endless, from setting up a Project KIDS child care center at Faith Covenant Church to running shuttle buses from the high school to Sky Oaks-Nicollet to keep surrounding neighborhoods from being inundated with cars. “The irony of it was, when we opened school on that (Tuesday), we had more students there than we had enrolled,� Hall said. “Because kids that had dropped out wanted to come back and be in on the excitement. So these kids went back and followed their old schedule and the teachers let them in.� At the district’s request, the state Legislature quickly relaxed the number of hours the district needed to hold school that year, Roy said. It also granted the district $500,000 to help cover costs not covered by insurance. The district teachers union hurriedly agreed to contract changes to accommodate the new schedule. Many decisions in the immediate aftermath required School Board-level approval, said Roy, whose husband brought her a large mobile phone from work. “And I think at one point, before the end of

that first week, we had counted up and we had had, I believe it was, 17 meetings,� Roy said. The high school students’ first concern was prom, Roy said. “And then graduation,� Hall said. “And the after-graduation party,� Roy added. “Those things fell into place. Prom was going to be that following weekend (on Saturday, April 30). Before the end of the first day, it was announced that the grand march would be at Prince of Peace Church.� She fondly recalled a practice that developed of some high schoolers in their undersized desks leaving notes for the younger students who occupied them in the afternoon. “Some of those students still keep in touch with one another,� said Roy, whose daughter, Monique, was a senior in 1994. Rebuilding parts of the high school lay ahead. A project that typically would have taken 18 to 24 months was finished in six and occupied in four, when students returned in September for the start of the next school year, according to “Burnsville 2000: A Community History.�

“Our goal was always to get back there by the start of school in the fall,� Roy said. “Not everything was done, but we were back there.� It took an uncompromising work schedule, Hall said. The district’s insurance company assigned someone almost full time to the project, and workers in double shifts occupied the building almost 24 hours a day, Ackermann said. Weekly meetings were held with contractors. “If you said, ‘It will take this long,’ and we didn’t have that long, you were fired on the spot,� Hall recalled. Though they hadn’t asked for it, the crisis burnished the reputations of those who led the way through it. “(Then-Superintendent James) Rickabaugh got Superintendent of the Year for the state of Minnesota based on his role in handling this situation,� Hall said. “Looking back,� he said, “it was a very positive experience. I’m still amazed when I think about it.� Contact John Gessner at john.gessner@ecm-inc.com or 952-846-2031.

Refugee resettlement is Republican women’s topic Researcher, lawyer and writer for the Center of the American Experiment, Kim Crockett will speak about federal government’s effort to relocate refugees in Minnesota, who pays for the resettlement and social service expenses for the refugees during the Dec. 9 breakfast meeting of the Metro Republican Women at Mendakota Country Club, 2075 Mendakota Drive in Mendota Heights. “Refugees from so many countries are coming to Minnesota and who pays for their resettle-

ment?� asks MRW President Margaret Flower. “The research done by the Center of the American Experiment is so valuable to uncover the truth.� Crockett is vice president and senior policy fellow and general counsel for the Center of the American Experiment, a 501C3 organization. She previously served as a corporate council to a national bank and has had a lengthy career in commercial real estate law. As previous president of the Minnesota Free Market Association Institute and

educator with the Taxpayers League of Minnesota, she merged with CAE to create one voice for conservative and free market policy. Her research and advocacy focus has been on public unions and labor law, public pensions, the Metropolitan Council and the estate tax impact on Minnesota long term economic health. Her framework for policy work is federalism and the rule of law. A breakfast buffet will be served at 8:30 a.m. and program begins at 9 a.m.

The cost is $20 for members, $25 for non-members and $15 for students. With no reservations, the cost is $25. Walk-ins are welcome, but reservations are encouraged. Those interested may go to metrogopwomen.org to pay online or make a reservation and pay at the door. Reservations are requested by Tuesday, Dec. 5. Metro Republican Women is part of the Minnesota Federation of Republican Women and National Federation of Republican Women.

16A Dec. 1, 2017 SUN THISWEEK - Burnsville - Eagan

theater and arts briefs Rosemount theater group to perform ‘Murder Among Friends’ The Front Porch Players of Rosemount, in partnership with the Rosemount Area Arts Council, will have auditions in December for its spring 2018 play, “Murder Among Friends.” This comedy/mystery has been described by the New York Times as “clever, amusing, and very surprising,” and by New York’s WABC-TV as “a slick, sophisticated show that is modern and very funny.” The play recounts the interaction of an aging, exceedingly vain actor, his very rich wife and a double dealing, double loving agent in an elegant New York duplex with dialogue crackling with wit and laughs. Angela, the wife and Ted, the agent, are lovers who plan to murder Palmer, the actor, during a contrived robbery on New Year’s Eve. But the actor and agent are also lovers and have an identical plan to do in the wife. A murder occurs, but not one of the planned ones.

Auditions will consist of readings from the script, and will be held on Sunday, Dec. 10, and Monday, Dec. 11, from 5-8 p.m. at the Rosemount Steeple Center, 14375 S. Robert Trail in Rosemount. There are no reservations necessary, as people will be auditioned in order of their arrival. Those interested in helping out with any aspect of the theater experience, such as set building, backstage work, ushering, ticket sales, are encouraged to attend the rehearsal. Casting for four males ages 20-50-plus and two females, 2050-plus will fill the roles of Ted Cotton, male, 25-40; Angela Forrester, a bit older than Ted; Palmer Forrester, older male 40s-50s, Marshall, male, 35-50s; Gert, Marshall’s wife 35-50s; Larry Proscuitto, male 20-30s athletic. Rehearsals begin Jan. 16 and will run most Mondays – Thursdays from 6-9 p.m., until show opening on Friday, March 9. Shows will run Friday, March 9, at 7 p.m., Saturday, March 10, at 2 and 7 p.m.; and Friday, March 16, at 7 p.m., Saturday, March

BAND, from 1A along the route, and several times he saw supporters of the band wearing the same color sweatshirts — a tradition that has led to them being dubbed the “Sea of Gold.� “We have had overwhelming support of our parents and the community,� Edgar said. “I saw so many people wearing gold, block after block. Even though we were in the big city, it felt like we were at home. When people would scream our names, it would take us to a whole other level.� Hoover said he felt like it was Leprechaun Days parade there were so many people shouting the names to students in the band. He said the Macy’s parade liaison assigned to the group told Rosemount’s directors that she had never seen such a turnout of support for a high school band. At the start After getting up at 2 a.m. and having a 4 a.m. dress rehearsal on Herald Square, band members ate breakfast then waited in the staging area. Edgar said she knew she was just about to be part of something very big when she saw late night talk show host Jimmy Fallon, pop rock musicans the Goo Goo Dolls and the huge inflatable balloons being prepped for the parade. “It didn’t hit me until the morning of the parade,� Hoover said of the importance of their participation. “That’s when it sunk in that it was happening.� Hoover said he was feeling what most others were — elation, exhaustion, excitement, nervousness and anticipation — at the start of the parade. It was the first time in 28 years since a Minnesota high school band had performed in the parade that reserves very few spots high school bands. “I don’t know how you could be prepared for

The Rosemount High School marching band performed in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade last Thursday as the 275-member group performed two holiday selections - “Santa Claus is Coming to Town� and “Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow� - along with its Herald Square performance of “Pride in the Past, Promise of the Future,� which was an arrangement of traditional Irish music and songs honoring the Statue of Liberty. that,� Edgar said. “There were millions of people watching us live and watching us back home with family and friends.� Edgar said upon entering Herald Square for the NBC-TV performance, she was amazed by the number of lights, television cameras and people surrounding the performance area. Though they had a 4 a.m. rehearsal on the very site that day, this was a completely different scene. “There were so many people cheering loud for us; these were people who had never seen us before, they were so excited they were there,� Edgar said. She said it was difficult to keep her focus and conduct the band, as she told herself to concentrate and listen to the drums to keep

the direction in time. Rosemount’s band directors were unable to see the Herald Square performance live as they had to stand behind a scaffolding as the camera crews rolled. “It was a nervous moment for me,� Hoover said. “In the marching band world, it is the only band peformance in which the director is not standing in front of them. It takes some trust to do that and hand it over to the drum majors to have them perform the way you want them to.� In their blue and white uniforms with white plumes over their hats and drill team members in red waving red, white and blue flags emblazoned with an image of the Statue of Liberty, the band performed Hoover’s arrange-

ment of a medley of Irish and patriotic songs to the theme of “Pride in the Past, Promise of the Future.� “I thought we had an incredible performance,� Edgar said of the show based on the school’s motto. After leaving Herald Square, the band marched the short distance to the end of the parade, remaining in formation until it reached the U.S. Post Office. There they were able to decompress and celebrate

Hoover said upon arriving back at the hotel, the students got to get some sleep and relax prior to a Thanksgiving dinner for the entire band and their family and friends who made the trip. The dinner attendance was over 600. Edgar said it an awesome opportunity to celebrate Thanksgiving with her family and friends at the banquet, as it was something she said she would never forget. As for the whole trip, Hoover said it is an experience the students will reflect on later in life as something memorable. “The marching band is the most visible performing arts group in the school and the district,â€? Hoover said. “They perform before thousands of people in parades and other events. ‌ They are used to high-profile opportunities in front of people who appreciate what they do.â€? He said they are treated like “rock starsâ€? by their parents and the community as evidenced by the fundraising support it received and the sendoff event on Saturday, Nov. 18, at the Rosemount Community Center that was attended by scores of people. “They were very proud that they were given the opportunity to represent their school, city and state,â€? Hoover said. “The community support has been incredible.â€? He said it’s amazing all the time, effort and money that band parents expend to help their children get an opportunity like this and then they only get to see them for a few seconds during the parade. But these parents realize that performing in this parade is not about giving a gift for themselves, it is sharing the gift of the Rosemount High School marching band with the rest of the world.

the experience. “It was everything,� Hoover said of their reactions. “It was hugging, elation, shock and disbelief that it was over. The TV portion of it was so quick, one minute and 15 seconds. More than anything the kids were exhausted.� “It was a long season,� Edgar said. “I was glad for all of the work we had put in to get there. On the bus back to our hotel we were sharing stories of what we had seen and sending Contact Tad Johnson at tad. pictures to our family and johnson@ecm-inc.com or at friends back home.� twitter.com/editorTJ.
