The north end of Burnsville got a lot of attention in 2015. Plans were unveiled for a new Interstate 35W bridge over the Minnesota River. Federal pressure accelerated negotiations over environmental protections and redevelopment on the old Freeway Landfill property. City officials downgraded their expectations for the pace and type of redevelopment in the vast northern industrial area. And Xcel Energy’s Black Dog power plant received its last shipment of coal. Here’s a recap of 2015 Burnsville news highlights from the pages of Burnsville-Eagan Sun Thisweek. A recap of 2015 school news in Burnsville-Eagan-Savage District 191 will appear in next week’s edition.

Freeway bridge

by Jessica Harper

Though construction could be several years away, Burnsville and Bloomington got a look at plans for a rebuilt I-35W river bridge linking their cities. More than 100 people attended October open houses, one in each city. The project, estimated at $140 million, will actually consist of two bridges over the Minnesota River — one for the northbound lanes and one for the southbound, with an 8-foot separation between them. Construction is scheduled for 2020 and 2021. The Minnesota Department of Transportation is planning four lanes in each direction — three through lanes and a MnPASS toll lane. The bridge now has two through lanes and a MnPASS lane.

This past year has been a busy and exciting time for Eagan with the Minnesota Vikings announcing plans to move to the city, the police department celebrating a major milestone and the Lebanon Hills Regional Park debate coming to a close. In August, the Vikings announced plans to move its headquarters and practice facility from Winter Park in Eden Prairie to an 185-acre site in Eagan. Vikings management signed a deal that month for the former Northwest Airlines headquarters property located at Dodd Road and Lone Oak Parkway next to Interstate 494. The complex has remained vacant since the merger with Delta moved operations to Atlanta.

Vikings COO Kevin Warren had said the team was looking to move due to space constraints and a lack of flexibility at its current site. Plans call for three outdoor grass fields, an expanded indoor facility, and a 7,000- to 10,000seat stadium that would feature synthetic turf. The stadium would be capable of hosting high school games, youth football clinics and other community events. The indoor facility would include space for punting drills and meeting rooms for the team, football staff and non-football staff. The move is an effort to bring employees under one roof and provide the franchise’s owners with a real estate development opportunity. The team’s vision goes beyond See EAGAN, 5A

Big changes in school start and end times are expected next year under new grade configurations in Burnsville-Eagan-Savage District 191. Officials are considering two scheduling options. Both would eliminate the current “third tier� of start and end times. Both would create common start and end times for the district’s 10 elementary and three middle schools (now junior highs). Option A has elementary schools starting at 9:30 a.m., with buses arriving at 9:15 a.m. and school letting out at 3:55 p.m. The middle schools would start at 7:35 a.m., with buses arriving at 7:10 a.m. and school letting out at 2:35 p.m. Burnsville High School and Burnsville Alternative High School would start at 7:48 a.m., with buses arriving at 7:30 a.m. and school letting out at 2:24 p.m. Option B flips the schedule, with the elementary schools starting earlier than the secondary schools. Elementary schools would start at 7:30

a.m., with buses arriving at 7:15 a.m. and school letting out at 1:55 p.m. The middle schools would start at 8:40 a.m., with buses arriving at 8:25 a.m. and school letting out at 3:40 p.m. The high school and alternative high school would start at 8:34 a.m., with buses arriving at 8:05 a.m. and school letting out at 3:20 p.m. District staffers and parents have had a chance to comment and register approval or disapproval of each option through surveys emailed to them. Results have been polarized, with respondents strongly liking one option and strongly disliking the other, Superintendent Joe Gothard told the School Board Dec. 17. Many school districts nationwide are re-examining their start times, stirring community passions, Chair Bob VandenBoom said. “We know that’s coming,� he said. “We know it’s not going to be easy no matter which option you land on.� He said board members and parents are “anxious� to hear what administrators recommend and called for a recommendation before the end of January. Possibilities include a modified version of one See TIMES, 14A

New chamber president right at home Harmening, of Burnsville, starts Jan. 5 by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

After going for nearly a year without a permanent president, the Burnsville Chamber of Commerce has chosen one with hometown familiarity and a record of success at other chambers. Burnsville resident Jennifer Harmening, 47, will begin work Jan. 5. The board of directors announced her appointment

Dec. 16. Harmening said she hopes to boost membership while following board directives to strengthen the 50-year-old business organization. Board members want to reinforce the chamber’s ties with businesses and the larger community, Harmening said. She’s also charged with reviewing chamber programs and services to better match the needs of duespaying members and provide maximum value. “I think we’ve got some real work to do,� Harmening said, “but some

real possibilities and some real exciting times ahead.� Harmening replaces Bill Corby, who left the chamber in February over differences with the board. Neither side would elaborate on the parting. In recent months, as the search for a new executive continued, Corby’s predecessor, Daron Van Helden, temporarily took over some of the duties. Harmening said the tasks in Burnsville are similar to the ones she faced as president of the Eagan-based Northern See HARMENING, 14A

Opinion Accreditation rule changes put dual-credit courses at risk Thousands of Minnesota students are simultaneously finishing high school and acquiring credit for college-level work by enrolling in dual-credit courses such as “College in the Schools.” They are reducing the costs of their post-high school education at a time when high tuition and student debt can keep them out. Many educators, legislators and students believe that a new accreditation rule by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC), a college accreditation agency that covers 19 states including Minnesota, is putting our students at unnecessary risk of losing access to those courses. Dual-credit programs are established with state legislative authorization and support. They create partnerships between high schools and post-secondary schools that benefit students, families and the economy. The benefits go beyond college credit. “Research has shown that participation in dual-enrollment programs can lead to improved academic outcomes for students such as greater secondary school completion, higher GPA, and increased likeliness of enrolling in and completing a post-secondary degree,” said John E. Uvin, acting assistant secretary, U.S. Dept. of Education for Career, Technical and Adult Education. Last June the HLC Board of Trustees, chaired by David Anderson, president of St. Olaf College in Northfield, adopted new rules for accreditation that require all teachers of dual-credit courses in high

ECM Editorial schools to hold a master’s degree or 18 hours of graduate level course work in the field being taught with compliance to be in place by 2017. In Minnesota, as in other states, many of the teachers of dual-credit courses won’t meet master’s degree or additional course work requirement and those dual-credit courses would then be lost to students. On Oct. 6, 2015 the Minnesota House and Senate Higher Education Committees held a joint hearing to review the new accreditation requirement. Barbara Gellman-Danley, president of the HLC, testified on the new standard. Comments and questions from Republicans and Democrats from the House and Senate reflected support in the direction the Minnesota program has taken. Legislators asked several times for evidence or data that defined the HLC basis for requiring additional credentials with one lawmaker asking, “What problem are we trying to fix?” Testimony from students, administrators, teachers and professors from participating colleges and high schools described a well-defined, well-taught and well-monitored program. In over four hours of testimony no evidence was presented that disparaged the quality of dual-credit courses in Minnesota or the excellence of the sponsoring schools. The assumption of the new accredi-

tation requirement is that current dualcredit work and teaching at the high school level is below that of college and needs to be raised by requiring post-graduate teacher learning in the subject being taught. Minnesota legislators and educators directly challenged that requirement and asked for evidence of its need. We believe there is a mutually shared goal to maintain (well-monitored) quality of post-secondary learning at a time when access to that learning is expanding to high school students for the better. Minnesota and the HLC working together could develop a new model of accreditation that meets a quality assurance goal without limiting student access to the programs. Part of the solution may be found in the a section of the HLC rules that exempts university “teaching assistants” (teaching comparable courses at the college level) from the additional degree or course work because they are working under a professor at the university. Professors testifying at the Minnesota legislative hearing stated that high school dual-credit course teachers were functioning under a similar model, that is, the professors were specifying the curriculum and the training for high school dual-credit teachers. The continued involvement of Minnesota legislators in this issue is extremely critical. We encourage Minnesota’s U.S. senators and members of Congress to become involved as well. The HLC is fi-

nancially independent of the federal government but must meet federal expectations as a source of their authority and restrictions. The Minnesota Department of Education, in conjunction with the MN P-20 Partnership (a Minnesota forum of school district and college leaders), should also take up the issue. This involvement will draw in the much needed participation of MnSCU Chancellor Rosenstone and University of Minnesota President Kaler. President Anderson from St. Olaf, given his position with the HLC, can contribute greatly to illuminate and address this important issue. In November the HLC established a process for requesting an extension of the 2017 compliance deadline (effectively a five-year extension). That extension of time should also be used to create new more meaningful criteria for accreditation of dual-credit courses. Increased and improved access to learning is a reality and requires new approaches to accreditation. Those efforts must be accomplished with a respect for the immediate and long-term needs of our learners and their families. This HLC accreditation issue gives us a good place to start. This is an opinion of the ECM Editorial Board. Sun Thisweek and the Dakota County Tribune are part of ECM Publishers Inc.

Give to 360 Communities for the health of your community by Sal Mondelli SPECIAL TO SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

It feels good to give. In fact, there are studies that suggest charitable giving is actually good for your health. This is the season of giving, and nowhere is this more apparent than at the 360 Communities Armful of Love holiday gift program. Just ask Rotary of Apple Valley how good it feels to give. Members and their families recently descended upon the 360 Communities Burnsville Family Resource Center for an Armful of Love holiday gift wrapping party. The club sponsored 10 families, purchasing gifts and donating Cub gift cards for 40 people, including 23 children. Rotary of Apple Valley was a part of a large group of clubs, families, businesses, faith communities, and volunteers that rallied around 1,000 families this year to support them with gifts and meals during the holidays. In all, they helped 2,648 children and 1,414 parents in need. ShopJimmy.com in Burnsville hosted the program, providing much-needed warehouse space and parking to facilitate the exchange of gifts. The generosity of the community with this program has always been heartwarming and the sincere gratitude of the families who have been helped is equally touching. Thank you notes to the gift sponsors have already started arriving in the office:

“Your gifts will put smiles on our kids’ faces.” “It must be in your heart to feel the need and help my family this year.” “I want to say THANK YOU. You made our winter one to never forget.” “Thank you! You have brought joy and happiness to our home and made our Christmas complete.” “Thank you for all your help this holiday season. You are a blessing.” The Armful of Love program shows the power of giving and receiving in an immediate and tangible way. We can see the exchange of wrapped gifts and the gratitude of the recipients. But they are thankful for more than just the toys, clothes, food, and other gifts. They also understand that they live in a community that cares about their well-being. That is the most important impact of the program because it inspires them to want to give back themselves. Over the years, 360 Communities has seen recipients, so touched by their experiences with Armful of Love, turn around and volunteer with

one of our programs, run a toy drive, or even sponsor an Armful of Love family, among other things. In that way, you can imagine all of 360 Communities’ programs and services as gifts to the community that keep giving. There are immediate rewards of stability in the home, safety for survivors of abuse, and academic success. Often, though, the larger payoff comes 10 or 20 years down the line, for example, when we see children graduating high school, going on to college or a successful career, and starting their own families with safe and nurturing homes. The impacts we have with our violence prevention and intervention work, our school success programs, and our self-sufficiency work are far-reaching and positively affect the strength of our communities. That is because when we serve people in need, we are not merely giving hand-outs to stabilize their immediate crisis. We are removing roadblocks, and equipping them with the tools and support they need to forge a better life. A good example of this is our schoolbased Partners For Success program. Family support workers in 31 schools in seven school districts partner with educators and families to implement effective home-based strategies that increase parental involvement, improve academic performance and connect families to community resources. Recently, the University of Minnesota’s Center for Applied Research and Educational Improvement

(CAREI) released the results of a social return on investment study of this innovative program. The study found that for every dollar invested in Partners For Success, a conservative estimate of $5.00 is returned in social benefits to the community. This includes personal earnings gains, higher tax revenues, public health savings, and crime reduction. The study goes on to say that preventing even just four students out of 100 from dropping out of high school per year, generates social benefits that far exceed the cost of the program. Now that is a gift to the community. Armful of Love is a holiday program that illustrates the circle of giving and receiving that is described by our name, 360 Communities. Remember that supporting 360 Communities’ holistic mission yearround is a gift to the community with positive impacts that will last for generations to come. If you would like to make a year-end gift to 360 Communities, visit 360Communities.org or mail your check to 360 Communities, 501 E. Hwy 13, Suite 102, Burnsville, MN 55337. It is a gift that is not only good for your health, but it is good for the health of the community. Sal Mondelli is president & CEO of 360 Communities, a Dakota County based nonprofit that works to prevent violence, ensure school success and promote longterm self-sufficiency.

Huge, historic gift for low-, middle-income high school seniors by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

This year’s Minnesota Legislature and the state’s taxpayers are giving a huge, historic gift to Minnesota students who graduate from high school in spring 2016. They have offered to pay full tuition and general fees for these graduates who enter a one- or two-year program in a “high demand” field, offered at any of Minnesota’s two-year public colleges. Funds are available for graduates from families earning up to $90,000. Because the $3.9 million in scholarships will be available on a “first come, first served” basis starting in January 2016, I strongly suggest that students who might be interested, and their families, do some homework over the holidays. The first thing, probably, is to read about the program on the Minnesota Office of Higher Education website, here: http://bit.ly/1ZbGXQU.

Then, students should look at what are “high demand” fields; not all programs at Minnesota’s two-year public colleges are covered. A list of eligible programs is available at http://bit.ly/1T1nSxa. Though MOHE notes that there may be a few changes, the list currently includes dozens of diverse options, including accounting, carpentry, computer information systems, diesel mechanics, law enforcement, “mechatronics,” nursing, truck driving, speech-language pathologist assistant, welding, etc. This is only a small sample. Students should look at the full list. Then look at information prepared

by the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development. It has an enormous amount of statistics describing the number of jobs in various fields, median pay and projected openings in the coming years. That information is available at http://bit.ly/1JbD6de. Even if you are not a “data nerd,” anyone interested in career possibilities may find this Web page fascinating. For example, for spring 2013 higher education graduates, more than 9,000 people were working in a business-related field, earning, on average $40,651 per year two years after graduation. That compares with only 322 people who majored in history earning, on average $21,704 per year two years after graduation. Alessia Leibert, a labor market analyst at DEED strongly encourages students, beginning in the ninth grade, and families to look at DEED’s data. Leibert noted, “Sometimes students study something that they loved, but once they get their piece of paper, they learn, ‘Hey, there are no jobs.’” The state’s Worlds Best Workforce program wisely requires that schools help students think about possible careers. Getting a job isn’t the only reason for education, but DEED’s information can help students make more informed decisions. Wise families of students who might be interested should spend some holiday time organizing their income tax data. That’s because the new scholarships require that students complete the 2016-17 FAFSA form (aka Free Application for Federal Student Aid). This form will be available in January. It makes students

eligible for federal (Pell) and state grants. As MOHE notes, the new scholarships “will cover any remaining tuition and general fee charges after the student’s Federal Pell Grant and Minnesota State Grant have been applied to the student’s account.” Furthermore, undocumented students who graduate in 2016 and meet other conditions also are eligible for the grants. Many students from low-income families will have their entire two-year college costs covered by Pell or state grants, so this new program benefits 2016 graduates from middle-income as well as lowincome families. While employers are not required to give employees a W-2 showing earnings until 2016, families can get deductions ready to put into tax forms. The grants will go to students who have completed their FAFSA and applied to and been accepted in a “high demand” field of study at a Minnesota public two-year college. There are some additional requirements, such as that all students receiving the scholarship must participate in a mentorship program. This program will be carefully evaluated, according to Ginny Dodds of the Minnesota Office of Higher Education. A webinar describing the program is on the MOHE website, here: http://bit.ly/1T1nSxa. It is a huge, historic opportunity.

SUN THISWEEK - Burnsville - Eagan December 25, 2015 5A

EAGAN, from 1A a home for the Viking and includes a new commercial and possibly residential district. The Eagan site was once home to the Northwest Airlines headquarters. Delta Airlines acquired Northwest in 2008 and sold the property this summer to Eden Prairiebased Excelsior Group for $10.4 million. The real estate company’s portfolio includes strip malls, multifamily housing, 2,200 acres of raw land and 1.7 million square feet of commercial real estate, according to the company’s website. Hopeful that the Vikings development plans would dramatically increase tourism and potentially provide a small stadium for community teams, the Eagan City Council unanimously approved a comprehensive guide plan amendment that changed the former Northwest Airlines property designation from major office to mixed use. This change enables the Vikings to move forward with their plans. The Vikings headquarters wasn’t the only large development proposal to move forward this year. In February, plans to create a shopping area on the former Lockheed Martin property in Eagan moved forward after a year of de-

lays. The City Council unanimously approved a comprehensive guide amendment, rezoning, preliminary planned development and preliminary subdivision plan that will allow CSM Eagan, a subsidiary of CSM Corp. of Minneapolis, to build a 434,000-square-foot, multibuilding retail development called Central Park Commons on the property. The plans combine traditional suburban development with aspects of an urban village, a walkable retail area that features on-street parking, small parking lots, and parking structures. Preliminary illustrations show a grocery store, large retailers, restaurants and a fitness center forming a ring around the outer edge of the property. Inside the ring is a “retail village� that consists of small shops, offices and restaurants. Fairview Health Services announced in September that it plans to open a new two-story medical office building within the new Central Park Commons development. The 42,000-square-foot building, slated to open in fall 2016, will replace a smaller medical facility located at 1440 Duckwood Drive. The new facility will be able to serve more patients

with a broader range of services including primary, specialty, urgent, optical, imaging, rehabilitation, mental health and pharmacy care, Fairview representatives said. In keeping with the urban village design, the Central Park Commons project includes numerous sidewalks that weave throughout the development and connect to existing trails. The development is expected to add an estimated $2.2 million to Eagan’s tax base.

Changes While the Vikings and CSM’s plans moved forward, one woman’s dream to open a private school and orphanage in Eagan came to an end this year. Sharing and Caring founder Mary Jo Copeland had once hoped to create a shelter for homeless children on a 33-acre property in Eagan. Instead the property — located between Highway 55 and Lone Oak Road — will become an industrial site. The City Council unanimously approved in July a comprehensive guide plan amendment that will change the property’s designation from office service to limited industrial. The council also approved rezoning the site from agricultural to limited industrial.

This will allow the site to be developed into as much as 295,000 square feet of warehouse or distribution buildings. The site has remained vacant for more than 10 years. The city approved the plans in 2002, but Copeland was unable to raise the necessary funds. The controversial plans gained support from some political titans like former Gov. Tim Pawlenty, but resistance from some child advocates such as the North American Council on Adoptable Children in St. Paul and the National Coalition for Child Protection Reform, who claimed institutionalizing children has proven to be detrimental in the long run. New cable option For years Eagan city officials and residents have been frustrated by Comcast’s ability to monopolize the Twin Cities market. But in 2015, residents were given a second option. Last summer, the city of Eagan entered into a franchise agreement with CenturyLink that allows the communications company to provide Prism TV cable services alongside Comcast’s offerings. The digital cable service is provided through a fiber-optic network, which enables customers to watch live programming on smartphones and

over, according to the company. “It’s going to be a beautiful, green plant,� said Mayor Elizabeth Kautz, one of the speakers at an April 8 company ceremony marking the last of the coal train cars to pull up to the plant. But what she’s heard around town suggests some nostalgia for a remnant of the coal era — the plant’s highest smokestack, a concrete tube of nearly 700 feet that will eventually come down. “It has been a landmark,� Kautz said. “And it has really identified the Black Dog plant and the history behind all of that.� Plant officials planned to burn the last coal on April 15, a day before a The Black Dog power plant in Burnsville stopped burning coal in April.

A bike and pedestrian trail will be added, which has cycling advocates cheering. The project drew some political volleying in 2015. In April, a group of south suburban House Republican lawmakers introduced a bill to allocate up to $165 million for the bridge. Transportation coalition Move MN subsequently challenged those lawmakers to come up with money to start the project sooner than scheduled. MnDOT says it’s ready to go in 2017. Burnsville Mayor Elizabeth Kautz joined the call for earlier funding, which came against the backdrop of a transportation funding debate in the Legislature.

The deal of frustration and lapsed leaves about 40 acres of negotiations over the Freeway Landfill property landfill west of I-35W and for redevelopment, the south of the Minnesota MPCA says. The MPCA is proposRiver, which stopped accepting trash in 1990.

Once mining ceases — possibly in most concern.

some 20 years — dewatering of the mine will also cease, shifting groundwater flow. Groundwater under the landfill will rise, and contaminated water would then flow to a new quarry lake and to the river, MPCA officials fear.

Redevelopment Burnsville’s vision for its Minnesota River Quadrant, the final frontier of large-scale development in a mostly built city, came in for some downgrading. At an Oct. 13 work session, City Council members signaled a willingness to accommodate development the area can attract rather than hold out for higher and better uses that have dominated “visioning� schematics for years. A quarry-fed lake and a golf course on a closed and capped landfill are still in the distance. A would-be “gateway center� with a hotel and offices is a moonshot. A medi-

cal campus once thought possible is on no one’s radar. But high-ceilinged warehouses could be a hot draw in the 1,700-acre area west of Interstate 35W, north of Highway 13 and south of the Minnesota River. Meanwhile, two huge landowners — Kraemer Mining and Materials, which operates a limestone quarry, and the Burnsville Sanitary Landfill — are expected to continue those operations for at least 20 more years, further delaying large-scale redevelopment.

Aging city buildings

Over the next two decades or so, the city says it will need about $23.88 million to upgrade or replace aging city buildings. Projects include a $4.56 million renovation and expansion of the police station, built in 1988 alongside a new City Hall; a $4 million replacement of Fire Station 1, built as a police station in 1976 and renovated for fire in 1989; and a $4.3 million renovation of City Hall. The undersized, outdated police station gets top billing, with compleNo more coal Xcel Energy’s Black tion recommended within Dog generating plant east five years. of I-35W is coal-free.

In September, attorney Valerie Sims won a temporary injunction halting city enforcement action for scores of alleged code violations at Rambush Estates, a rental-lot mobile home park on West Burnsville Parkway. The ruling by District Judge Colleen King also granted Sims’ request that her lawsuit against the city on behalf of Rambush homeowners be treated as a class action. At least 40 residents had joined the class of plaintiffs by late September, according to King. Among the issues were 22 portable carports city inspectors cited as code violations. The Rambush case is one of several disputes the city has had with homeowners over property code enforcement. In 2013, the city began a proactive enforcement program under which it will canvass all neighborhoods for violations instead of basing most of its enforcement on citizen complaints. In another case — which did start with a neighbor’s complaint — Sims is trying to get dismissed a misdemeanor charge against homeowner Heather Sommer, who was cited for having a deteriorating retaining wall and charged in district court after failing to meet city deadlines to replace it. Replacement will cost at least $50,000, according to the first-time homeowner, who says she’s unable to get a loan for the project. The Haskell’s liquor store in the Burnsville Marketplace mall on Aldrich Avenue South closed in January. Owner Jay Nelson said his franchise store was a victim of competition from Total Wine & More, which opened in the nearby Burnhaven Mall in September 2014. Nelson said the addition of Total Wine oversaturated the Burnsville Center retail area with liquor stores. Liquor store owners in Burnsville and around the metro area have fought unsuccessfully to keep the superstore from entering the Twin Cities market. Even outside the Burnsville Center area, Total Wine has hurt existing stores’ business, said two Burnsville liquor store representatives interviewed in January. In February, the City Council voted to lift a provision in the off-sale liquor ordinance limiting licenses to one per 5,000 residents. The council left intact a requirement that liquor stores be at least threefourths of a mile from one another. Lifting the population cap will allow three more neighborhood liquor stores, which would push the city’s total number of licenses to 15. But there could be more if owners want to locate near Burnsville Center. The council left intact a provision that exempts the surrounding retail area from the spacing requirement.

Hall, Venz wrestle highlight match at tourney Eagan’s Hauser takes 7th at 170 by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

One of the featured attractions of the 29th annual Minnesota Christmas Tournament was a match between two Big Ten Conference-bound wrestlers. Saturday’s 170-pound final featured Mark Hall of Apple Valley, a fivetime state champion who has not lost a high school match since his freshman year, and Taylor Venz of Farmington, who has finished in the top three at state each of the last three years (including a state title as a ninth-grader). It attracted enough interest that the schedule for the finals was juggled to put the 170-pound match last. Hall, who has signed with Penn State, defeated Venz, a Nebraska recruit, 14-5 on his way to being named the tournament’s most outstanding wrestler. Hall, 17-0 and ranked first nationally at 170, was one of four individual

champions for Apple Valley, which finished second to St. Michael-Albertville in the Christmas Tournament team standings. STMA and Apple Valley are the top two teams in the most recent theguillotine.com Class 3A rankings. Farmington, ranked third in Class 3A, tied for seventh in last weekend’s tournament. Eastview and Eagan were 25th and 29th. Apple Valley sophomore Gable Steveson, ranked first nationally at 220, took first at his weight by pinning Jon Lorang of Rochester Mayo in 1 minute, 47 seconds in the championship match. Steveson also is unbeaten this season at 17-0. The Eagles’ Nate Larson defeated Ryan Ripplinger of Bismarck, N.D., 9-4 in the championship match at 113 and improved to 16-1. Brock Morgan defeated Simley freshman Anthony Jackson 8-1 in the championship match at 145. Morgan is 17-0 this season. Also placing for Apple Valley were Brady Gross (seventh at 120), Kyle

Rathman (third at 132) and Tony Watts (seventh at 160). The Eagles scored 203 points, finishing 21 behind STMA in the team standings. Farmington’s tie for seventh was the highest Christmas Tournament finish in the program’s history, and the 113 points are the most the Tigers have scored in the event. Venz (10-2) won two matches by fall at 170 and two others by technical fall before losing to Hall in the final. The 120-pound final was a matchup of cousins – Farmington’s Victor Gliva and Simley’s Jake Gliva. Jake, the topranked wrestler in Class 2A, edged Victor, ranked third in Class 3A, 4-3. Victor, however, did get a 5-1 victory in the semifinals over Owatonna’s Peyton Robb, who defeated him in the state Class 3A 106-pound championship match last season. Victor Gliva is 12-1 this season. The Tigers’ Trayton Anderson (106) and Jamin LeDuc (138) finished sixth in their weight classes. Ma-

son Hawkins finished seventh at 195 but along the way defeated the top two wrestlers at that weight in the Class 3A state rankings. Three Eastview wrestlers placed eighth at the Christmas Tournament – junior Alex Lindstrom (160), senior Collin Dolejs (170) and senior Tim Duffy (285). Duffy went 3-2 in the tournament; his two losses were by injury default. They are among the wrestlers who helped the Lightning rise to ninth in the state Class 3A rankings and build an 8-1 dualmeet record (with the only loss to Apple Valley). Eastview’s Mike Delich, who is ranked second in Class 3A at 195, went 2-2 in the tourney, with both losses coming against wrestlers ranked in the top five in Minnesota. Eagan senior Alex Hauser (9-4) won by fall in the seventh-place match at 170 and was the 12thranked Wildcats’ highest finisher in the Christmas Tournament.

AV boys win rivalry game against Lightning by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

While many others are easing into a holiday mode, this is not the time the Apple Valley boys basketball team wants to ease up. It’s the time of year the Eagles load their schedule with challenging nonconference opponents in hopes it will make them a better, tougher team during the playoffs in February and March. In the next 10 days, Apple Valley will play unde-

feated Maple Grove at the Granite City Classic in St. Cloud, followed by a game at the St. Cloud tourney against a Wayzata team that had been ranked as high as fourth in Class 4A. On Jan. 2 the Eagles make another appearance at the Timberwolves Shootout at the Target Center to play Lausanne Collegiate School of Memphis, Tennessee. Apple Valley is 8-1 overall after defeating Eastview 95-62 in the second half of a girls-boys doubleheader Friday at

Apple Valley High School. Since losing to Hopkins 89-81 at the Breakdown Tip-Off Classic on Dec. 12, the No. 2-ranked Eagles have defeated South Suburban Conference opponents Farmington and Eastview. The Eagles had no reason to overlook Eastview because the Lightning beat them the last time the schools played. Eastview defeated Apple Valley 7370 on Feb. 6, 2015. This time Apple Valley took control early and maintained it by shooting

59.7 percent (40-for-67). Junior guard Gary Trent Jr. made 12 of 20 shots and scored 27 points. Senior guard Jordan Bolton had 18 points and senior forward Cameron Kirksey scored 17. Bolton was 8-for-12 from the field and Kirksey was 7-for-10. Guard Tre Jones and center Brock Bertram scored 12 and 11 points. Junior guard Mason Carpenter had 24 points for Eastview and senior guard Sean Ryan had 14.

For many local high school teams, there’s really no such thing as a holiday break. Next week many will fan out around the Twin Cities and surrounding area to play in holiday tournaments. A number of these tournaments feature highcaliber matchups. Here’s a look at some of them: Boys hockey – defending state Class AA champion Lakeville North, which seems to have hit its stride following a sluggish start, goes to the Sports Authority Holiday Hockey Classic next week, where its first opponent is No. 1-ranked Benilde-St. Margaret’s. The Panthers (ranked eighth in Class AA) and Red Knights play at 7:30 p.m. Monday at St. Louis Park Recreation Center. Lakeville North also plays 10th-ranked Holy Family at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday and 13th-ranked Elk River at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday. The Schwan Cup boys tournament begin Monday at Ridder Arena and the Schwan Super Rink in Blaine. Burnsville, ranked 20th in Class AA, plays second-ranked Eden Prairie in a Gold Division quarterfinal game at 2:30 p.m. Monday at Ridder Arena.

Three teams from the Sun Thisweek and Dakota County Tribune coverage area will play in the Schwan Cup Silver Division tourney. Lakeville South and Rosemount will meet in a first-round game at 3 p.m. Monday at the Super Rink that also will count in the South Suburban Conference standings. Eastview plays Mahtomedi at 5:30 p.m. Monday at the Super Rink. The Silver Division also features Breck, the second-ranked team in Class A. Girls hockey – Burnsville will hold its annual four-team, round-robin tournament at Burnsville Ice Center starting Monday. The Blaze plays Minneapolis Southwest on Monday and Faribault on Tuesday, with both games starting at 7 p.m. Burnsville plays Proctor at noon Wednesday. Schmitz-Maki Arena in Farmington is the site of Farmington High School’s girls hockey tournament, which runs Monday through Wednesday. New Prague, Hutchinson and Red Wing, all ranked in the top 15 in Class A, are among the Tigers’ main competitors for the championship, as is Wisconsin high school power Hudson. Eagan is part of a loaded field at Eden Prairie’s invitational, which starts Monday. Second-ranked Minnetonka, third-ranked Wayzata and No. 6 Eden Prairie will be among the 16th-ranked Wildcats’ competition. The Schwan Cup girls tourney runs Tuesday, Dec. 29, through Thursday, Dec. 31. Eastview and Lakeville North play in the six-team Blue Division. Lakeville North plays East Ridge in a first-round game at 6 p.m. Tuesday at the Schwan Super Rink, while Eastview faces Holy Family/Waconia at 8:15 p.m., also at the Super Rink. The Blue Division championship game is 6 p.m. Dec. 31 at Ridder Arena. Boys basketball – Lakeville North will play Holy Family at 7:45 p.m. Tuesday in the semifinals of the Panthers’ annual holiday tourney at Lakeville North High School.

The other semifinal at 6 p.m. has Robbinsdale Armstrong playing Northfield, the team coached by former Lakeville North girls coach Andy Berkvam. Final-round games are Wednesday. Apple Valley, the No. 2-ranked team in Class 4A, plays undefeated Maple Grove in the first round of the Granite City Classic at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday at St. Cloud State University. The Eagles face Wayzata in the final round of the event at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday at St. Cloud Apollo High School. Also on Tuesday, Eastview goes to the TCO Holiday Classic at Augsburg College, where it will play No. 1-ranked Hopkins in the first round at 7 p.m. Eagan takes on Minnetonka at 4:15 p.m. in the first round of the Bethel College tourney. Lakeville South will play Chisago Lakes at 2:45 p.m. Monday in the first round of a three-day tournament at Tartan High School. Rosemount and Burnsville are in the Rotary U.S. Bank Holiday Classic at the Mayo Civic Center in Rochester, with Burnsville playing Lake City at 11:15 p.m. Tuesday and Rosemount facing Byron at 2:15. Girls basketball – one of the most anticipated games of the holiday season will take place in the final round of the St. Olaf College holiday tourney when Eastview plays Hopkins at 5 p.m. Wednesday in a rematch of the schools that met in the 2015 state Class 4A championship game. Last season the schools played three times, with Eastview winning the first meeting, Hopkins winning at the St. Olaf tourney and the Royals taking the state championship game. Eastview (6-0) is expected to take the No. 1 ranking in Class 4A into next week’s tourney, which opens with a game against Prior Lake at 6:45 p.m. Monday that will count in the South Suburban Conference standings. The girls division of the Rotary U.S. Bank Holiday Classic attracted three South Suburban Conference teams to Rochester. First-round games at Mayo Civic Center on Tuesday include Lakeville North against Goodhue at 1 p.m., Farmington against Rochester Century at 3:30 and Burnsville against Plainview-ElginMillville at 7:30. Apple Valley and Lakeville South begin play Monday in the Roseville holiday tournament, with the Eagles facing St. Anthony at 2:45 p.m. and Lakeville South playing Roseville at 4:30. Wrestling – four South Suburban Conference teams, including Apple Valley and Farmington, are scheduled to compete in the Clash Duals on Jan. 1-2 at the Regional Recreational Sports Center Fieldhouse in Rochester.

BURNSVILLE, from 6A tance with the other partners led to the venture. The project cleared final hurdles in October when the City Council approved the color scheme of the already finished building — even though its original council approval called for different colors. The business will open soon, its website says.

Chamber leadership Burnsville Chamber of Commerce President Bill Corby left the business organization in February over differences with its board of directors. At year’s end, the board announced his permanent replacement — Burnsville resident Jennifer Harmening. She was president of the Northern Dakota County Chamber of Commerce from 1996 to 1998 and has done consulting for the last 15 years.

Mary, Mother turns 50 Mary, Mother of the Church, the Catholic parish on East Cliff Road, celebrated its 50th anniversary with a polka Mass and quilt unveiling on Sept. 12 and an anniversary Mass, roast pork dinner and unveiling of a 50-year timeline on Oct. 11. Before the familiar brick church was built on a hill overlooking the Minnesota River valley, Sunday Masses were held at Cedar School in Eagan. Mary, Mother started with membership of 550 households.

Fire response Faced every year with a rising number of ambulance calls, city officials are downgrading their expectations for Fire Department response times. That doesn’t mean the department will provide substandard firefighting and emergency medical service, officials stress. It does mean they believe the response-time bar has been set too high given the department’s call load and current capabilities. City Council members

agreed at a Sept. 15 work session to a department recommendation to lower the bar. In a revised statement of its policy goals, the city will call for a nineminute response time to be achieved on 80 percent of emergency fire and medical calls. The current goal is to reach 80 percent of calls in six minutes or less, which doesn’t include the one- to two-minute dispatch time from when a call reaches Dakota County’s centralized dispatch center. The nine-minute goal includes the dispatch time, along with responder turnout and travel time.

U.S. Rep. John Kline announced in September he won’t seek re-election after seven terms representing the 2nd Congressional District. The Burnsville Republican’s announcement set off a flurry of speculation over his successor. Another Burnsville Republican, Pam Myhra, announced in October she’ll join a crowded field seeking the party’s nomination. Myhra is a two-term state representative who didn’t seek re-election to her House seat in 2014. Instead, she was the running mate of Republican

gubernatorial candidate Marty Seifert, who didn’t get the nomination.

medical examiner ruled. The mother, Sha’reese Monique Miller, 25, was sentenced in June to four years and two months after pleading guilty in March to second-degree manslaughter. She failed to protect her son from the abuse inflicted by Warr, her former boyfriend, prosecutors alleged. • Ashley Marie Conrade, one of two people indicted in the murder of 20-year-old Anarae Schunk of Burnsville, pleaded guilty to lesser charges in February and agreed to testify in the murder trial. Conrade, 25, formerly of Rosemount, pleaded guilty to two counts of aiding an offender after the fact, both involving killings on Sept. 22, 2013. She was to be sentenced to 15 years in prison under a plea agreement, Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom said. One guilty plea is in connection with Schunk’s stabbing death. The other is in connection with the earlier shooting death of Palagor Jobi by Conrade’s then-boyfriend, Shavelle Chavez-Nelson, outside Nina’s Grill in Burnsville. Chavez-Nelson, 32, is charged with first- and second-degree murder in Schunk’s death. He’s already been convicted of first-degree murder for killing Jobi, 23, of Savage. Chavez-Nelson is serving a life sentence and has yet to stand trial in Schunk’s murder.

• William Alphonso Warr, 26, pleaded guilty in June to the 2013 childabuse death of 4-yearold Key’ontay Miller Peterson, who lived with his mother at 31 Horizon Heights in northeast Burnsville.

Contractors desiring a hardcopy of the complete bidding documents may obtain them from the administrative offices of the North Water Treatment Plant, Eagan, MN upon payment of $50.00. No money will be refunded to any person who obtains plans and specifications. Best Value Contracting Selection: This project is unique, impacting many affected facility users and property owners. Timing of the project is critical for the benefit of the general public and to minimize customer service disruption. In addition, the City has limited financial resources to commit to the project. Accordingly, the project must be accomplished with a minimum of interruption, on time, and without cost overruns. The City believes that only a contractor with good experience in constructing this kind of project is necessary. Two factors will be considered in the contractor selection process: price and performance. The process for the consideration of proposals for the award of this Project will take into account not only the Contract amount bid for construction items, but also the bidder’s ability and performance on previous similar projects, within and outside the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area, and the bidder’s availability of major equipment to perform this project. Mandatory Pre-Bid Meeting: A mandatory Pre-Bid Conference will be held at 10:00 a.m., C.D.S.T. on Thursday, January 21, 2016, at the administrative offices of the North Water Treatment Plant, Eagan, MN. The purpose of the conference is to provide details and answer questions regarding the evaluation/ selection criteria that will be used, along with bid price, to select a Contractor for contract award under the Best Value Contracting Authority. Failure to attend this meeting shall eliminate an absent bidder’s bid submission from contract award consideration. Attendance at the conference will be recorded. Technical Proposal Deadline: Prospective Bidders’ technical proposals must be received by 3:00 p.m. C.D.S.T., Tuesday, February 2, 2016, at the administrative offices of the North Water Treatment Plant,3419 Coachman Road. Each bid proposal shall be accompanied by a bidder’s bond naming the City of Eagan as obligee, a certified check payable to the Clerk of the City of Eagan or a cash deposit equal to at least five percent (5%) of the amount of the bid, which shall be forfeited to the City in the event that the bidder fails to enter into a contract. The City Council reserves the right to retain the deposits of the three lowest bidders for a period not to exceed forty-five (45) days after the date and time set for the opening of the bids. No bids may be withdrawn for a period of forty-five (45) days after the date and time set for the opening of bids. Payment for the work will be by cash or check. The City reserves the right to reject any and all bids and technical proposals, to waive irregularities and informalities therein and further reserves the right to award the contract to the best interests of the City.

EAGAN, from 5A connection to the Sept. 8, 2013, fire that destroyed the 100-year-old building and many artifacts inside. Human feces left at the scene, a home surveillance video and a prison phone call led investigators to 52-year-old Michael Duane Damron, also known as Wade Arvidson, and 50-year-old Wynn Donald Arvidson, according to the criminal complaint filed Dec. 9. Damron is currently serving an 18-month sentence for receiving stolen property. Both brothers have a history of run-ins with the law and a long-standing grudge against the city. When they’re not solving crimes, members of the Eagan Police Department are inspiring young minds. Eagan resident Lucas Hobbs, 12, spent much of this past year working with Minnesota MakeA-Wish to serve area police and families in need. Hobbs selected by MakeA-Wish after battling with Hodgkin’s lymphoma and instead of going to Disney or something of that nature, his wish was to help

others. Throughout the year Hobbs sent food trucks to the Minneapolis Police Department, area homeless shelters, schools, hospitals, and senior care facilities. In June he sent two food trucks outside Minneapolis’ 4th Precinct. It was an idea that he said was inspired by an Eagan officer who saved his life. At age 2, Lucas developed a dangerously high fever and began to have seizure. His parents called 911 and Eagan Officer Jim McDonald, who is now the department’s chief, was the first to respond. McDonald quickly filled the bathtub with cool water and placed the boy inside to lower his fever. The seizure stopped and he was taken to the hospital.

Saying goodbye While the Eagan community witnessed one young resident just begin to make his mark, they said goodbye to another resident who made a big imprint over four decades. Anthony Caponi, founder of the Caponi Art Park and Learning Center in Eagan, died on Oct. 10 at his home. He was 94.

Caponi was an artist, professor and spent 40 years working with his wife, Cheryl, to turn their 60-acre Eagan property into a seamless fusion of nature and art that features rolling wooded hills, a sculpture garden, an outdoor amphitheater and several miles of walking paths. About 20,000 people visit the park each year during the spring, summer and fall. Caponi Art Park’s land, located off Diffley Road, is now owned by the city but the park continues to be operated by the nonprofit. Caponi continued to maintain the park, and at age 90 he was still at the park planting trees and creating walking trails that wind past his sculptures.

Visions for the future

proved a contract with the consulting company at a cost up to $60,000. Over the following eight months, Next Generation interviewed residents, business leaders, community leaders, among others, held focus groups and conducted extensive research to create a visioning plan. The consulting company also created a committee comprised of residents, business owners and community leaders that helped create the visioning plan and will review a draft early next year. An early draft of the plan was presented to the City Council on Dec. 4 and was posted on social media for public comment. The plan lays out several strategies that examine ways the city, community groups, businesses, entrepreneurs and others in Eagan can help meet the needs and expectations of the community’s changing demographics while continuing to be an attractive place for families over the next 20 years.

As 2015 comes to a close, Eagan city officials and community members strategically plan for the future. In March, the city hired Next Generation Consulting to help bring the community vision into Jessica Harper is at jessica. focus and create a sense of harper@ecm-inc.com or identity in Eagan. facebook.com/sunthisweek.

The Lakeville Area Arts Center’s popular Coffee Concerts series returns in 2016 with four performances between January and May. The husband-andwife duo of Carrie Vecchione and Rolf Erdahl, who founded the series in 2007, will kick off this season’s concerts on Jan. 10. Vecchione, on oboe, and Erdahl, on upright bass, perform as OboeBass!, and will be joining forces with Duo Ancora — featuring Catherine Ramirez on flute and Eva Beneke on guitar — for the series opener. As with all the concerts, there will be complimentary coffee and re-

freshments in the series’ informal cabaret setting, with the musicians providing some background and insights on the pieces they’ve chosen to perform. Following the kickoff concert in January, the concerts continue Feb. 28 with Zeitgeist, a St. Paul-based quartet specializing in “new music,� combining classical music with other genres including jazz, rock, world music and others. The Ladyslipper Ensemble, a Twin Cities vocal-instrumental combo, plays the series on April 17, showcasing music ranging from George Gershwin to Astor Piazzolla. Lyra Baroque concludes the series May 1

with music by Bach and Telemann. The group will be joined by acclaimed Dutch viola da gamba player Jaap ter Linden at the concert. All the performances are on Sundays at 2 p.m. at the arts center located at 20965 Holyoke Ave. in downtown Lakeville. Tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for seniors and $6 for kids 12 and under, and are available online at www.LakevilleAreaArtsCenter.com and at the door.

TIMES, from 1A of the options. BHS student Maedin Abegaz, the board’s nonvoting student representative, asked whether later start times would cause students to lose sleep time because their activity and homework schedules are pushed back. “A lot of the comments tracked with what you’ve just said,� Gothard told her. Some respondents believe later times would cause students to stay up later, he said. BHS’ current start time is 7:33 a.m. Metcalf Junior High starts at 7:37 a.m., Nicollet Junior High at 7:43 a.m. and Eagle Ridge Junior High at 8:25 a.m. Creating uniform start and end times for those three schools was “one of our top priorities,� Assistant Superintendent Cindy Amoroso said. The district is working to align schools with districts goals, and the staggered start times make it “almost impossible to do any districtwide work with our middle school level because teachers don’t have the same contract day,� Amoroso said. Common elementary times will aid professional development at that level, she said. The junior highs will become middle schools of grades six through eight in 2016-17. Elementary schools will house grades kindergarten through five, and the high school is being expanded to add ninthgraders. Board Member DeeDee Currier said Wayzata High School is going to a later starting time. At the elementary level, day care and work schedules are “very impacted� by changes in start times, she said. In past years, the schedule changes were driven largely by cost, said Currier, a former district principal. This time is different. The district is able to reduce its tiered schedule from three tiers to two without much effect on the number of buses in circulation, said Lisa Rider, executive director of business services. John Gessner can be reached Charts show current start and end times in School District 191 and the two options at (952) 846-2031 or email being considered.
