PUBLIC NOTICE Burnsville-Eagan Sun Thisweek is the official newspaper for the cities of Burnsville and Eagan and school districts 191 and 196. Public Notices are on Page 13A.

The emerald ash borer population is rapidly increasing in Eagan and unless something is done, most of the ash trees will die, according to city forester Gregg Hove. During a City Council work session earlier this month, Hove said while there isn’t a mass dying off right now, there could be if left untreated. He said a do-nothing approach would result in 100 percent mortality rate based on what has happened in places like Detroit and Chicago. The city is trying to protect high-value ash trees by treating them and selectively removing low-quality trees in public places such as parks, public facilities and boulevards. Hove said the goal is to

control the outbreak. “We’re not going to kill every beetle and we’re not going to save every ash tree,� he said. Eagan doesn’t have as many ash trees compared to cities such as Minneapolis and St. Paul because most of Eagan’s development is newer. “Ash trees weren’t as popular during Eagan’s boom,� said Dave Osberg, Eagan city administrator. “But there’s some localized areas where it’s become an issue.� Most of them lie in industrial areas and south of Lebanon Hills Regional Park. The most likely reason for the infestation in Eagan is due to firewood. The first outbreak was discovered at the Lebanon Hills Regional Park campground Dec. 24, 2014.

Was school’s longest-serving principal by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The joke goes that when Burnsville High School’s principal introduced himself to teachers as “Howard Hall from Missourah,� they needed a translation. The self-proclaimed “Missouri hillbilly,� who never shed the accent while becoming Burnsville’s longest-serving high school principal, died of cancer on Feb. 11, 2018. He was 86. A true believer in education, he saw it as a way out of his childhood circumstance yet took a teaching job in his hometown, said Stuart Hall, one of Howard and Mary Hall’s three children. “He grew up in what I would consider poverty and wanted to get the hell out of Missouri hillbilly life and knew that a college education was the

Poppen said open flames are not allowed in Minneapolis, but it’s the top request they receive from fans. “That is the single largest (request) that we get from tailgaters,� he said. “A lot of it is warmth.

Visitors to the Vikings site would need to operate just like any other Eagan resident when it comes to open flames and recreational fires. The ordinance reads the Minnesota Vikings will designate an area where open flames and fire will be allowed as long as they fit the recreational fire standards per city code. City code includes conditions that all fires must be contained and a minimum of 25 feet from all combustible materials. Fire Chief Mike Scott said combustible materials include vehicles and buildings. The fires can’t be more than three feet across and fires won’t be permitted if the winds are greater than

Burnsville’s future “looks extremely bright,� said Kautz, the mayor since 1995.

More Local than a candle leader plans youth summit to discuss gun violence by Amy Mihelich

but they will also talk about other factors that influence gun violence. “No one can say what’s going to make the difference,� Smith said. “But our young people are very clear. They are sick of dying, and sick of being targets.� Beyond Smith’s efforts, youths are organizing themselves around the nation. Women’s March Youth EMPOWER is calling for students, teachers, school administrators and allies to walk out of school on March 14 at 10 a.m. They will stand outside for 17 minutes to “protest Congress’ inaction to do more than tweet thoughts and prayers in response to the gun violence plaguing our schools and neighborhoods,� the organization’s website said. Survivors from the shooting are also organizing a march in Washington, D.C., on March 24, titled “March for Our Lives.� Plans are still in the beginning stages, but similar to the January 2017 Women’s March and April 2017 March for Science, satellite marches are already popping up around the country. Smith said the youth summit he is planning is not in connection with any of the marches or protests. As a young person in the ’60s and ’70s, he participated in protests when he lived in Chicago, and later as a student at Carleton College in Northfield. He knows how these gatherings can change unexpectedly, and that is why he wants to create a safe space for youth. “They weren’t listening to young people then,� Smith said. “But now, these young people speaking out across the country, with how articulate they are, they are completely changing the way we talk about this.�

Thoughts and prayers — this has been the primary, and hotly contested, response to the events of Wednesday, Feb. 14, in Parkland, Florida. Just before dismissal time, 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz allegedly pulled the fire alarm at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and opened fire with a semiautomatic rifle. He killed 17 people — 14 students and three teachers — and wounded 14 more. Communities throughout the nation have responded. For Rev. Bill Smith, pastor of Lily of the Valley A.M.E. Church in Apple Valley, thoughts and prayers must be accompanied by action. He’s tried that route before. After the 2015 shooting at Emanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston, South Carolina, Smith came together with other local religious leaders to hold a service focusing on the gospel of love and forgiveness. Prayers and words of support from the congregation created a service that Smith, at the time, described as “uplifting and inspirational.� In the wake of the recent shooting, however, Smith wants to do more than pray. While some other community leaders are organizing vigils — such as the Vigil for Victims of Gun Violence on Friday, Feb. 23, in Lakeville — Smith wants to start a dialogue. “To light a candle and be silent is just not doing it for me,� he said. “I understand where a lot of pastors are coming from, but something else needs to happen.� On Thursday, Feb. 15, Smith asked local youths to gather at his church at 7 p.m. to begin planning a youth summit. He hopes to get young people together from churches in Apple Valley, Burnsville and Eagan to talk about

Rev. Bill Smith what can be done, from their perspective, to end gun violence in their own context. “It’s one of those things where everyone is caught in a dither. We don’t want to do something just for the sake of doing it,� Smith said. “I want to get some young people together and hear from them — give them a chance to express themselves in a safe place.� In an email to the congregation and community members, Smith wrote: “Lily of the Valley stands strongly for peace. Let’s make our little voice heard. It’s short notice but some things can’t wait.� Due to schedule conflicts and late notice, the turnout was sparse. The three youths who attended said they didn’t want to talk about the shooting with adults, or didn’t know what to say, but Smith found all of them were interested in meeting with other young people to have a conversation. “It’s the conversation piece that I want to push,� he said. “It’s not going to be any kind of vigil. It will be a conversation with youth — a conversation across denomination, across racial lines.� Final plans for the interdenominational youth summit are still in the works. Smith has already connected with three other churches, and he’s hoping to get at least two more involved. He said that the Second Amendment will Contact Amy Mihelich at be part of the discussion, amy.mihelich@ecm-inc.com.

tors into the office area, where they must provide identification and sign in before gaining access to the building during school hours,� the district said. “At high schools, vestibules are locked during school hours and visitors must provide identification and sign in before entering the building. All schools are also receiving additional cameras, an upgraded system for controlling exterior doors and an emergency response button in the office that can prompt an immediate response from law enforcement.� The district encourages students to report potential dangers. “In addition to drills and security improvements to our building, we also talk with our students regularly about the importance of telling an adult at school if they hear something from another student that could endanger that student or others in the building,� the district said. “Please reinforce this message with your child and reassure them that we care deeply about them and that their school is a safe and respectful place for them to learn each day.�

The Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District reacted to the Feb. 14 Parkland, Florida, shooting by providing the administration of each of its schools with a letter that could be sent to parents. “Although the incidence of these tragedies is increasing, schools continue to be among the safest places in our communities,� the letter said. “While no school is immune from such a situation, rest assured that the safety of students, staff and visitors is a top priority at all District 196 schools and is under constant review.� It assured parents and guardians its emergency response plans were created in close cooperation with local police and that all district staff have been trained to respond to an intruder in the building. It also said students and staff participate in drills throughout the year that teach them how to respond, and outlined ways the district has improved school security, thanks to the 2015 bond referendum. “Entrances at elementary and middle Contact Amy Mihelich at amy.mihelich@ schools are being modified to direct visi- ecm-inc.com.

Rumors of bomb, weapon roiled students Friday night Rumors of a bomb and a weapon at Burnsville High School on a busy Friday night roiled students but were unfounded. Several events were held the evening of Feb. 16, including the school’s Multicultural Night in the commons and the theater, a girls varsity basketball game and club meetings. A fire alarm was activated. Police responded

and helped evacuate the building. During the evacuation police received reports of a bomb and a weapon but found no evidence of either, according to school and police authorities. People were let back into the building after it was determined there was no fire. “After this week’s tragedy in Florida, we know there is a heightened state

of concern when it comes to safety in school settings,� the school said in a statement Feb. 17. “We are grateful for our strong relationship with public safety resources, including police, and for their work to keep attendees safe last night.� The school urged students to not spread rumors. — John Gessner

Goats will go after buckthorn in Burnsville park City joins others by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

is comparable to other methods the city uses to remove buckthorn, Ashling said. It also has potential public-relations value, with the goats drawing attention to the value of managing invasive species. “It’s a nice location to try something like this because we have some different sustainability initiatives in the Civic Center area,� Ashling said. “It’s also a location with lots of schools nearby, so there’s a nice opportunity for schools to come and see what’s going on with the goats and have the chance to learn what’s going on with the buckthorn.� Goats at Civic Center Park will be contained in the project area by two rows of temporary fence and will remain onsite for two to three weeks. If this year’s buckhorn growth is slower than expected due to low rainfall, the goats will be deployed instead to ongoing buckthorn projects at Terrace Oaks Park or Kelleher Park, and Civic Center will wait until 2019. The city will evaluate the first season of goat grazing to determine if it should continue for two more years as part of a three-year trial. If it’s successful, and City Council members want to extend grazing to private property, staff will draft an ordinance with performance criteria and an approval process, according to the report. Before unleashing goats on the Civic Center Park savanna, the city will seed the area with a native grass mix. “It’s definitely something that people can enjoy,� Ashling said of the lightly forested grassland where oaks are the dominant trees. “Savanna has large big white and bur oak trees that are scattered with lots of space in between. Because there’s so much sunlight getting down to the ground cover layer, you have a lot of prairie grass and wildflowers as well.�

Hungry goats with an appetite for invasive woody species are coming to Burnsville. The goats will likely be deployed in September and October to help restore 2.5 acres of overgrown oak savanna in Civic Center Park. The land is east of the Burnsville Ice Center, across Civic Center Parkway and north of the outdoor hockey rink. City workers will remove large portions of buckthorn and undesirable tree species in March and April. Plans are to deploy the goats in September and October to eat the buckthorn regrowth that inevitably occurs after mature buckthorn is removed, according to a city staff report. “We’re taking out the big stuff. The goats don’t take that out,� said Caleb Ashling, a city natural resources specialist. “As the area starts to grow back up with young buckthorn that’s been in the seedbank, then we send in the goats to control that.� On Tuesday the City Council approved a temporary suspension of its animal control and nuisance ordinances to allow the goats. Burnsville is the latest in a string of metro cities and park districts to approve goats for buckthorn control. They’ve been deployed in Dakota County parks. Last November, Eagan answered a citizen’s request by approving goat grazing on private properties of at least a half acre and on multiple properties with a combined grazing area of at least a half acre. Burnsville has also received requests from property owners, according to the staff report. For now, the city plans to pilot a grazing program on public land.

Burnsville police warn of tax scams With tax season upon us, the Burnsville Police Department is experiencing an increase in reports of fraudulent calls from people claiming to be from the Internal Revenue Service. While these calls do not originate from the IRS, the caller claims to be an employee or representing the IRS and will tell the victims that they were audited and owe back taxes. Additionally, the caller sometimes states that there is a warrant for the victim’s arrest or their assets will be seized. Below are indicators the call is a scam/fraudulent: • Caller may ask for a reloaded debit card such as MoneyPak or ReLoadIt. • Caller may ask for gift cards such as iTunes, Target, or Amazon. • Caller may ask for a wire transfer of

money by Western Union and/or MoneyGram. • Caller may ask for bank transfers to overseas accounts. • Caller may ask for direct deposits into various bank accounts. If the Internal Revenue Service is legitimately trying to reach you, they will send you a letter through the U.S. Postal Service asking you to set up an appointment to speak with an auditor. Additionally, an IRS agent will not call you to inform you they are coming to your house to arrest you on a warrant. If you believe you have been targeted by an IRS scam, contact: https:// www.treasury.gov/tigta/contact_report_ scam.shtml or 1-800-366-4484 or 1-800589-3718 (after hours).

Opinion One issue should be front and center this session by Peggy Bakken

SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The 2018 Minnesota Legislative session is underway, with an assortment of political legal battles, bonding proposals and special requests on the agenda. On top that, the 2018 election will overshadow everything. With all House members up for re-election and all of the state’s constitutional officers on the ballot, I fear we will have a lot of infighting and mudslinging. Have you heard this old adage: “No man’s life, liberty or property are safe while the Legislature is in session!” That quote is attributed to Gideon John Tucker, an American lawyer, and dates from 1866. Funny, not much has changed. I sincerely hope that one topic that will not be bantered about by self-serving rhetoric will be response and action to the state’s opioid crisis. The statistics are almost unbelievable. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, there were more than 63,600 drug overdose deaths in 2016. That’s three times the rate from 1999. “Drug overdose is the leading cause of accidental death in the U.S.” That

Staff Columnist

Peggy Bakken comes from the American Society of Addiction Medicine. And the National Center for Health Statistics says drug overdose is now the leading cause of death for Americans under 50. Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek, who has been very visible nationally speaking about the crisis, was at the White House last week along with a contingent of sheriffs from across the country. Hennepin County had 162 opioid-related deaths in 2017, he said, up 47 percent since 2015. In Minnesota, 395 opioid deaths were reported in 2016. I haven’t seen a 2017 total for the state, but no doubt that number continues to rise. That’s a staggering batch of numbers, isn’t it? Almost hard to believe. Gov. Mark Dayton has proposed $12 million in a legislative spending package he wants addressed this session. It includes extra funds for the state’s tribal

nations, which have been hit especially hard by the opioid crisis. He also wants additional funding for naloxone for first responders. That antidote to an overdose has saved many lives across the state. I’ve also been reading about the stress on county and state social service agencies. The crisis has hurt children very hard, and the demand for foster care families has gone up dramatically. Parental substance abuse was the main reason for 27 percent of the children placed last year, according to the state’s Department of Human Resources. The number of children being exposed to drugs before birth has gone up 113 percent since 2012. Finding proper care for these children is also a key challenge. “Substance abuse has reached a crisis in Minnesota. To protect and safely care for children, we must act quickly to help parents work through their struggles and overcome their addictions,” said Human Services Commissioner Emily Piper in a statement at the end of 2017. In addition, the number of reports of child maltreatment was higher among American Indian children – 5.2 times

more than white children – and AfricanAmerican children were approximately three times more likely to be subject of a maltreatment report. Drug abuse and addiction by parents oftentimes creates children who need foster care. I can only urge our state’s leaders to absorb these shocking numbers and use them to look ahead. What must be done to stop this crisis? What must be done to help those who have succumbed to addiction and return them to society? This is one issue that shouldn’t be subject to “politics as usual.” It will take a totally combined effort, by government, law enforcement at all levels, the medical professional community and every one of us to get through this. Additional funding and support from the state seems essential. I hope this will be the one issue that will get universal support, commitment and resolve from all.

Letters A welcome relief for retirees To the editor: The recently passed legislation, the Tax Cuts and Job’s Act is sure a welcome relief to my pocketbook. I am a retiree and every dollar saved on my tax bill helps me live a better quality of life. I am concerned about the future of the congressional leadership of our district though — U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis is doing a fantastic job articulating the issues, passing legislation that benefits all families and working hard to represent us in Washington D.C., but I am hearing about Angie Craig’s expected endorsement from the DFL and her millions of dollars of net worth; her position at St. Jude Medical that gave her access to wealth that most of us will never have. She has stated publicly “that the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, may go down as one of the worst pieces of legislation in history,” right in lockstep with California Rep. Nancy Pelosi. How can that be when businesses of all sizes and shapes are giving pay increases to their employees, expanding their benefit plans and are repatriating overseas stored dollars back to the USA for reinvestment in our country? Billions of dollars are a lot of money — and the higher paying jobs that will result will help those American families build a better future for themselves. She describes herself in this way, that she worked at a “manufacturing company” rather than the truth that she was a high-powered executive

who worked for a major medical device company. Craig is a rich, liberal, establishment elitist to whom a hundred or two hundred extra dollars in her paycheck won’t matter but, it matters to the voters in the 2nd District. BOB BECKER Eagan

Sensible regulations To the editor: Why did U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis, R-2nd District, vote “Yes” to rescind a rule restricting gun sales to the severely mentally ill? In the wake of the Parkland, Florida, shooting I, like many of my fellow citizens, feel sorrow, pain, anger and dismay. How many young lives need to end before we Americans implement common-sense gun laws? Let me be clear; I am not suggesting we repeal the Second Amendment. Implementing and passing common-sense gun laws does not threaten the Second Amendment. A good example of a common-sense law was scheduled to go into effect on Jan. 18, 2017. The rule would have enabled the Social Security Administration to share information about its recipients of Disability Insurance benefits due to mental illness. In effect, if you can prove you have autism, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depressive, bipolar and related disorders, or similar mental illnesses, you can receive disability benefits. The rule would have enabled the SSA to share the names of those recipients with the attor-

ney general, who presumably would have entered them into the background check database. If and when the mentally ill SSA recipient tried to buy a gun, he or she would have been flagged. Maybe I’m missing something: Does restricting the sale of guns to the mentally ill diminish the Second Amendment? More importantly, why did Lewis and his mostly Republican colleagues vote to rescind that common-sense rule? I won’t suggest the NRA’s $3,500 contribution to Lewis’ campaign paid for the vote, particularly when several senators who also voted for the bill received millions of NRA dollars, and the NRA reportedly spent $21 million on our own President Trump’s election bid. Trump, of course, signed the bill rescinding the commonsense law. I would ask Lewis to reconsider his vote. In fact, it would be great if Lewis authored a bill reinstating this commonsense rule. He might have some explaining to do to his NRA benefactors, but it would be an excellent first step in beginning a sensible conversation about regulating access to guns in America.

Medicare Advantage keeps health care affordable, and it gives me the benefits I need to stay healthy. Investing in Medicare Advantage makes sense.

U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis is honest about the difficulty of crafting drug policy that is consistent with the Constitution. He’s right to recognize that both Constitutional and States Rights must be considered as we develop policy. Yes, drugs are bad, when abused and misused. So are guns when they are misused and abused. So is speech when it’s misused and abused. But it’s not the drugs, the guns, or the speech that creates the trouble — it’s the person abusing them. Keeping our freedoms is difficult. Eventually we could lose all of them if we’re not careful. I am grateful for Lewis’s understanding of the 10th Amendment and his thoughtful approach which reflects knowledge of and commitment to Constitutional principles as they apply to all the thorny issues of our day. JEFF SCHUETTE Eagan

Time for this to stop To the editor: It appears that U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis intends to participate in a Celebration of the Second Amendment Event at the Lakeville Arts Center on Friday, Feb. 23. In normal times I would find this distasteful for several reasons. But to hold this event now is a slap in the face to families dealing with the Parkland, Florida, gun massacre and the scores of Minnesotans who are survivors of gun violence. Dr. John Lott Jr. is scheduled to be the speaker on guns and the Second Amendment. A quick search of the internet will show that Mr. Lott is a right-wing gun enthusiast whose work is often criticized and discredited. He plays very loose with the facts. Since the congressman is supposed to represent all constituents in his district, I would think an event celebrating the entire Constitution would be more appropriate. Of course, this would also include the “right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” I encourage all to show their dissatisfaction with the direction this country is headed. The NRA Leadership along with the Gun Manufacturing Lobby has been writing our nation’s gun laws. It is time for this to stop. Please vote for a gun sense candidate this November. Expect us!

Pipeline project begins in Eagan Work should be finished by fall by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Construction on a $48 million underground natural gas pipeline through Eagan has officially begun. Work began last month near Lebanon Hills Regional Park and the Dakota Path neighborhood with the removal of existing trees and brush. Installation of the pipeline will likely begin in late May or early April and continue through the summer. The 20-inch pipeline is being installed by Northern Natural Gas using existing easements. About 96 percent of the route will go along existing pipe within a 60-foot easement owned by Northern Natural Gas. Most of the line will be installed underground using a boring method, which is less invasive than digging trenches. The horizontal drilling allows Northern Natural Gas to bore under most of Lebanon Hills Regional Park and other environmentally sensitive areas. “All of our planning design is to mitigate any

environmental damage,� said Mike Loeffler, Northern Natural Gas director of external affairs. Natural gas won’t be flowing through the pipeline until it’s tested. “When we install the pipe, no natural gas is in there,� Loeffler said. “We’ll do some testing after that and if there are no leaks, that’s when the natural gas will start pumping through. There’s no threat to public health or safety when this is being built. When you have a situation, something generally happens after the pipeline is installed.� He said the pipeline will be built with steel and it’s being buried deep into the ground. “The potential for third party damage is minimized,� Loeffler said. “This is the most updated pipe and pipe installation method available.� Everything is scheduled to be complete by November. Northern Natural Gas will make 22 horizontal drills as far apart as 5,800 feet, which is more than a mile. All of the pipeline will be at least four to five feet

below ground. At times it will be as much as 20 feet underground. Loeffler said they do not anticipate any road closures. The total Cedar Station upgrade includes a nearly 8-mile pipeline looping Northern’s existing Rosemount Junction to Minneapolis No. 1 branch to the Xcel Energy Black Dog Power Plant in Burnsville. The pipe will upgrade the pressure to Cedar Station from 400 pound-force per square inch to 640. It’s part of Xcel Energy’s efforts to convert its Black Dog plant in Burnsville from coal to natural gas. Northern Natural Gas processes natural gas and delivers it to distribution points where it’s sold. “We’re like a trucking company,� Loeffler said. “We do not own the gas. We merely transport it.� The pipeline is part of a 14,700-mile pipeline connecting in Texas through Minnesota to upper Michigan. The pipeline was approved by officials in 2016.

Handbag blessings The women of The Father’s House Church in Burnsville met for their Feb.

14 Small Groups night to fill their unused handbags, purses and backpacks with love – protein bars, snacks, feminine products, Kleenex, and travel size hygiene products. Rev. Londa Lundstrom said, “This was not my idea. It was the idea of one of our member’s daughters – I saw her post on Instagram. The moment I saw it I said to myself ... ‘We can do this!’ So big bins were filled at The Father’s House that meets at Burnsville High School every Sunday 10 a.m. They filled them with all the important items for women in need and then this coming Sunday, Feb. 18, they will load up their backseats ready and willing to bless the women they encounter in Burnsville, in the city on their way to work, on the street corners, etc.� The Father’s House is an interdenominational church meeting in the Mraz Theatre at Burnsville High School. More information is at thefathershouse.church.

Talking trash: This time, it’s personal Dakota County aims to increase its reycling rate to 75 percent by 2030

by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

One billion pounds. That’s the estimated weight of cardboard and paper that’s recyclable but ended up in a Minnesota landfill last year. Yes, that’s billion with a “B.� If environmental specialists, like Dakota County’s Jenny Kedward, are successful in their efforts, that heavy weight will be lifted in the coming years. It all starts locally with the Dakota County Solid Waste Master Plan 2030, which has been reviewed in committee and will be considered for approval by the County Board in the coming weeks. It outlines strategies that aim to push the county’s current 50 percent recycling rate to 75 percent by 2030. Kedward said paper and cardboard is the No. 1 target to get businesses and residents recycling more of in the next 12 years. From those who are new to recycling to those who have been doing it for years, paper and cardboard remains the easiest to recycle. It doesn’t need to be rinsed, it doesn’t need to be kept in a separate container and it’s abundant. “Everyone has a different motivation for recycling,� Kedward said. “The psychology of why people are doing things is fascinating, the social anthropology of it. When someone is messing with your trash, it’s personal.� Tapping into people’s recycling sensibilities is the object of the county’s Environmental Resources Department. There’s plenty of information about recycling and disposal at co.dakota.mn.us/Environment/Residential/Pages/default.aspx. Kedward said Dakota County’s recycling rate of around 50 percent is comparable to other Minnesota counties, though it is ahead of some cities that have recycling rates around 30 percent. An analysis of landfill samples of material from Dakota County residents and business-

es found that there are opportunites to recycle more. She said 60 percent of what goes into the garbage is recyclable. In addition to paper, she said a way to boost recycling rates is to increase the rate of organics collection. She said 15 percent of what’s in the garbage is organic material, such as food and foodsoiled products like napkins. Kedward said a common misconception about food waste is that it’s fine in the garbage because it decomposes. The problem is that when food decomposes in a landfill, it puts out high levels of methane, which is more potent than carbon dioxide. “Composting is definitely a better option,� she said. She said the county hopes to have curbside organics collection by 2025. Another strategy of the plan is to work with large waste generators like manufacturing businesses or those with many employees, like schools. She said the county is helping these companies analyze where they can reduce garbage amounts. Kedward said the analysis helps the business save money on solid waste fees and taxes and can boost its revenues since many recyclable materials are treated as commodities. She said many large companies are already getting paid for collecting recyclable materials, but it’s the mid-size companies that can need some help in finding the opportunities. As for residents, Kedward said the marketing push will attempt to get residents back to recycling basics. Paper, cardboard, glass and aluminum cans are the basics they’d like to see less of in the landfills. She said it is difficult to change the minds of the small percentage of people who come up with excuses to not recycle, so marketing efforts concentrate on getting people who are already recycling to do it more.

Consume less

In addition to preventing little things like cans, bottles and pieces of paper from going to the garbage can, recycling efforts aim to keep the big items out of it too. When a piece of equipment or a household item has outlived its useful life, it often lands in the garbage. The Recycling Zone and several solid waste management companies accept all kinds of recyclables and products, such as metal curtain rods, dryers, ceiling fans. There are also cleanup days that are slated annually in every Dakota County community. These days are popular for turning in computers, television sets, construction debris and the like. Another movement started when the Great Recession occurred, as many groups interested in reducing waste and consumption communicated that repairing a product one already owned or borrowing a product from a friend, neighbor or family member was better for the environment. As people had less money to spend on products like lawnmowers, clothes and vacuums, fix-it clinics such as the one Dakota County organizes started throughout the country. “There is a whole chapter in solid waste management on waste reduction,� Kedward said. “If we want to conserve resources, we have to buy differently.� In 2017, Dakota County hosted 12 Fix-It Clinics. Forty-three volunteers helped more than 300 residents mend and restore items. Their repairs stopped 2,650 pounds of repairable items from ending up in the trash. Of the nearly 600 items brought in to fix, 82 percent were repaired on site or the resident was shown how to fix it later with the right parts. “It’s a great way to build skills and community,� Kedward said. She said people are more aware to buy durable goods that will last a long time rather than the cheapest option.

As far as gift giving, waste reduction organizations promote giving “experience� gifts like trips or recreation opportunities rather than another “toy� for children or adults.

Single haulers

in which each of the haulers would operate through a jointpowers agreement. Such cities as Los Angeles, Seattle and New York City are looking into the idea. Changes in the Zone At the start of 2018, the Recycling Zone in Eagan stopped accepting plastic bags and foam packing peanuts from Dakota County businesses and residents. The county stopped accepting plastic bags since its vendor is no longer recycling them and because there were many other local options for recycling the bags. Most grocery stores and major retailers have bins outside or inside their stores that allow for recycling bags. “We were not filling the gap anymore,� Kedward said. The Recycling Zone also isn’t taking “packing peanuts� anymore. Kedward said the amount of the foam material that was coming into the Zone was dwindling since the vendor was no longer accepting the material. Packing peanuts are accepted at a wide range of shipping stores throughout Dakota County like UPS. While on the topic of plastic bags, Kedward said one important thing to remember about the bags is don’t put them in the single-sort bins that companies provide for curbside recycling. “That’s the No. 1 contamination in recycling,� Kedward said. They clog up the sorting machines. Some recyclers report that some people put their single-sort recycling inside plastic bags. They should be using paper bags instead. People can search a whole range of items to find out how to properly dispose or recycle it with the Green Guide at https://www.co.dakota.mn.us/ Environment/RecyclingDisposalGuide/Pages/default.aspx.

One push that Kedward said is controversial is to have more communities become like the cities of Minneapolis, Farmington and Hastings that have a single hauler contracted to collect garbage, recycling and yard waste. The city of Farmington’s history of municipal collection of solid waste was officially established in 1947. Since then, the city has advanced its program to offer curbside solid waste and recycling collection. Kedward said the program can benefit residents since a city can negotiate cheaper rates. Air and noise pollution is reduced as there are fewer trucks needed to collect from each residence. With the goal to have curbside organics waste collection by 2025 in Dakota County, the push for single haulers serving one community will increase. Currently, there are three different trucks that collect solid waste, recycling and yard waste in most Dakota County cities. With as many as six different haulers working in the county, that means several trucks can be entering a neighborhood each week. Kedward said she is aware of several neighborhoods in the county that have organized to have just one hauler serve their area. Those neighborhoods with homeowners associations are the most likely to band together, but it’s happening too in neighborhoods where there is no formal organization. She said the Dakota County market is large enough to accommodate the current list of haulers in the county to devise a way that each of those haulers could still have their current market share without the Contact Tad Johnson at tad. overhead of overlapping col- johnson@ecm-inc.com or at lection routes. twitter.com/editorTJ.

Chamber to address women in the workplace issues Leadership forum scheduled for March 8 by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The Dakota County Regional Chamber of Commerce plans to tackle many issues regarding women in the workplace during the WomEn’s Leadership Forum from 7:30 a.m. to noon March 8 at the Best Western Premier Nicollet Inn, 14201 Nicollet Ave. in Burnsville. The theme of the eighth annual event is “Leading Through Change.� “We want to start the conversation to what’s transpiring today as it relates to equal pay, discrimination and sexual harassment,� Dakota County Regional Chamber President Maureen Scallen Failor said. “We’ve all seen what’s taking place. Businesses have to start looking at internal policy and how they will navigate through this.� There will be a panel discussion titled “Navigating Challenges� regarding women in the workplace. The panel will feature Melissa DeLay from TruPerception; Karin Nelsen from the Minnesota Vikings, Lin Nelson from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota, and Kim Gibson from Prime Therapeutics. “They’ll talk about how to start these conversations and how they’re moving forward,� Failor said. “Not that they’ll have a cookie cutter policy but it’s a start to the conversation.� Failor said men are welcome at the event. The featured speaker is Janee Harteau, the former

Minneapolis police chief. Harteau will give a talk titled “Leading Through Crisis,� something she knows well. “She has a pertinent message,� Failor said. “Through all the changes that were taking place and what she was up against. She was dealing with many different public safety issues and implemented some big ideas.� She was recognized during her tenure for bringing implicit bias training and adding body cameras to the force. She resigned last summer, but she continues to lead as a coach, speaker, and consultant. In August, she launched Titanium Leadership, through which she advertises her work as a consultant and coach. She was the first female police chief in Minneapolis as well as the first openly gay chief. “She’s a Native American, too,� Failor said. “She really was a trailblazer.

Education

BHS student’s app earns top spot Burnsville High School junior Ross Waataja had just three weeks to use coding to create an original mobile app as an assignment in his Advanced Placement Computer Science Principles class taught by Cindy Drahos. That’s all the time it took for Ross to create an app that has won first place in the 2nd U.S. Congressional District as part of the national Congressional App Challenge. Congressman Jason Lewis presented Ross with his official Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition at Burnsville High School on Feb. 12. U.S. Congressional districts around the country sponsor the competition to inspire high school students to pursue computer science and other careers in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math). In all, 190 Congressional districts across 42 states involved over 4,900 students in the event this year. Ross and other winners are invited to showcase their apps to members of Congress and the tech community at #HouseOfCode, a reception in Washington, D.C., in April. Also, students’ apps are eligible to be displayed for one year in the U.S. Capitol Building and on the House.gov website. Each winning student will be awarded $250 in Amazon Web Service credits. Ross’ inspiration for the app was a love of sports. His app, named Sport Savvy, involves earning points for correctly asking sports trivia questions. “The hardest part was coming up with the questions,� he said. Issues developed along the way – as they always do with tech projects – but his troubleshooting skills resolved them.

Stable funding for E-12 education remains the top priority for District 196 in the 2018 session of the Minnesota Legislature that begins Feb. 20. The School Board unanimously approved the district’s 2018 legislative priorities Feb. 12. The priorities were developed by citizen and staff members of the district’s Legislative Advisory Council, with input from members of the Budget Advisory Council. Members of the LAC, BAC and School Board will share the district’s priorities with local legislators who represent residents of District 196 and with the chairs of the education committees in the Senate and House of Representatives. The district’s priorities document thanks the Legislature and Gov. Mark Dayton for providing needed investment in E-12 education during the 2017 budget-setting session. Funding approved through fiscal year 2019 make it five years in a row of 2 percent increases to the general education

formula, the largest single source of revenue Minnesota school districts receive. “These consistent, at least inflationary increases are necessary to avoid the detrimental staffing and program cuts that resulted from state funding increases that averaged less than 1 percent per year in the first half of this decade,â€? the document reads. Although 2018 is not a budget-setting session, the district believes state leaders should continue discussion toward establishing stable funding solutions that support a “general and uniform system of public schools,â€? as required of the Legislature in Article 13, Section 1 of the Minnesota Constitution. The following five priorities focus on that goal. 1. Index the general education formula to inflation • From 2003 to 2018, the gap between actual increases to the general education formula and the inflationadjusted amount is $579 per pupil. If general education funding had just kept

pace with inflation during these years, school districts could have avoided many of the detrimental budget cuts and local levy referendums that were needed to make up the difference. The district asks the Legislature to fully fund this gap and to index future general education formula increases to the annual rate of inflation. 2. Increase special education funding • The lack of adequate special education funding from the state and federal governments continues to be an issue for all Minnesota school districts. The difference between the special education funding District 196 will receive this year and the actual cost of providing these services – also known as the “special education cross-subsidyâ€? – is $27 million this year. Statewide, the special education cross-subsidy will top $700 million this year. 3. Increase equalization aid to equalize the local tax burden • Equalization aid is intended to equalize the impact of school taxes for homeowners in districts with differing levels of commercial/industrial property wealth. Districts with less commercial/industrial property wealth, like District 196, receive equalization aid. However, the factors used to calculate equalization aid have not kept pace with growth in overall property values over time and, as a result, no longer provide the intended level of equalization or taxpayer fairness. For example, District 196 has a current operating levy of $1,140 per pupil that was approved by district voters in 2013.

Taxes to support this levy for the owner of a $250,000 home in District 196 are $290 more per year than the owner of a $250,000 home in a west metro district with high commercial/industrial property wealth. 4. Allow local control to renew existing operating levies • Current Minnesota law limits operating levies to no more than 10 years in length. After 10 years, in order to continue to receive the same amount of funding that was previously approved by voters, school districts are required to conduct another referendum election, even though it would not result in a tax increase. There have been 182 levy renewal referendums in Minnesota since 2011 and 180 of them – 99 percent – have been approved. Given the cost and time required to conduct a referendum election and the high percentage of approvals for levy renewals, the district asks the Legislature to give locally elected School Board members authority to renew levies that were previously approved by local voters and do not represent a tax increase. 5. Stabilize the Teachers Retirement Association Fund • The Minnesota Teachers Retirement Association Fund had an unfunded liability of $9 billion in fiscal year 2017 and District 196’s share of this liability is $279 million. The district asks the Legislature to stabilize the fund by adjusting benefits, increasing the employee and employer contributions, and funding the increase in the employer contribution.

DCTC, Post Consumer Brands partner on large training project Post Consumer Brands hosted a grant-signing event Feb. 16 at its plant in Northfield. Representatives from Dakota County Technical College and Post Consumer Brands were on hand to officially sign the paperwork for a $260,000 Minnesota Job Skills Partnership grant that will help fund a new customized-training program at the plant. Members of the Northfield Economic Development Authority and the Northfield Chamber of Commerce attended the event. Post Consumer Brands is partnering with DCTC to provide specialized, advanced training for 70 maintenance technicians at the company’s North-

field plant. The customized program will cover training in robotics, electrical, predictive and autonomous maintenance, and programmable logic control systems. Indirectly through the skills gained, the training program will benefit 250 operations employees at the plant. The training program’s cornerstone is a $260,000 grant from MJSP, a state agency that helps fund customized training at educational institutions for employees of Minnesota companies. The total collective investment in the program, including labor, materials and equipment usage, will exceed $1 million over a three-year period.

TREES, from 1A ing ash logs, lumber, tree waste, chips, marsh and firewood can’t move outside the area. Perhaps the best way to prevent an outbreak outside the metro area is to buy certified firewood and leave the ash at home. Moving uncertified hardwood firewood out of quarantined counties is illegal and it’s punishable up to a $7,500 fine per violation per day. No new infestations were found in Eagan during 2015 and 2016, but Hove said it takes a few years for the infestation to reveal itself. “The larvae chew underneath the bark and CITY, from 1A ment of new rental properties� and is now welcoming “upscale, multiunit housing,� she said. Where will new mixeduse development go? Several areas are ripe, Kautz said, including the

when they mature, they fly to the next ash tree and lay eggs,� Hove said. In 2017, the city identified seven different locations on both public and private property. The city is in the process of removing and replacing low-quality ash trees and chemically protecting others on public property. The city doesn’t actively seek out infected ash trees on public property, but it does respond to investigation requests. The city does not currently require residents to remove infected trees. Officials don’t plan on starting to, in part, because it would be overwhelming and expensive. “Private property is

going to be the big issue,� Hove said. “How do we convince homeowners? How do we deal with homeowners who don’t remove them when their neighbors did? ... There’s no right answer.� Hove said St. Paul required private homeowners to deal with infected trees, but they stopped because they couldn’t keep up. “I guarantee not every property owner thinks it’s going to be worth it,� City Council Member Paul Bakken said. To combat the invasion, city officials are asking for a year-round tree inspector to be added to staff. The city has one part-time, seasonal tree inspector

who reviews infected trees. “It’s a no-brainer that we add the inspector,� Mayor Mike Maguire said. City staff also plan on asking for additional money in the 2019 city budget to fund additional tree removal. At $525 per tree, a total of 152 ash trees per year could be removed for about $80,000. Bakken suggested making trees near private property a priority. Educating residents is another priority for city staff. One way for residents to tell if a tree is infected is if it attracts a lot of woodpeckers who look for the larvae under the bark, Hove said.

If an ash tree has sparse foliage during the spring and early summer, it could be infected. Dead ash trees become brittle and dry out quickly, so falling branches are a safety hazard. Officials avoid pruning and removal of ash trees between May and September because that’s when the beetle is active. Trees should be treated in early spring or mid-fall, but it may be cheaper long term to cut down an ash tree. Treating a tree costs about $5 per diameter inch. Emerald ash borers have been found in Burnsville, Lakeville and Apple Valley. Every city has been pre-

paring for the outbreak. Burnsville, Apple Valley and Lakeville either currently or plan on requiring the removal of infected trees on private property. Rosemount has been selectively removing ash trees from parks and boulevards. Osberg said technology and federal regulations may change in the coming years, so it would be good to revisit the issue in a few years. For more information, visit www.cityofeagan. com/eab.

New Tax Rules for Homeowners Good records needed for equity interest deductions

BY MARILYN KENNEDY MELIA

Using proceeds from a loan not collateralized by a primary or second home won’t be deductible, say the experts. Besides taking an equity loan, it is also possible to refinance a first mortgage, get cash back and deduct the interest paid on the new loan, but the homeowner must still document that the extra cash back was used for a value-boosting improvement. Only interest on $750,000 of both mortgage and equity debt is deductible. That’s if you even want to take itemized deductions. The new law boosts the “standard deductionâ€? to $24,000 for married joint filers, and $12,000 for single filers. With the standard deduction, the filer simply reduces his

accrues with a simple interest charge.� For instance, a senior who defers $5,000 annually for six years would owe $30,000 plus all interest charges when he leaves the home. “Often, the balance is paid by the proceeds of the sale of the home,� Walters says. In some of the 24 states, deferral programs are available statewide, while in others each locality must adopt the program.

CITY, from 9A retail landscape changes, according to the mayor. “In 2000, online sales represented less than 1 percent of all retail purchases,� Kautz said. “That number has climbed to 8 percent today and is trending even further upward.� That has hurt “brick and mortar� retail, particularly anchor department stores, but hasn’t removed it from the shopping experience, Kautz said. The city needs to work with store owners and mall management to “reinvent� the mall experience, she said. “Our long-term vision for the mall and retail corridor is to create a oneof-a-kind regional draw including entertainment, open spaces and entrepreneurial zones to complement our retail,� Kautz

said. Burnsville is seeking a cash award through the Bloomberg Mayors Challenge to jump-start the reinvention. Whether or not the city wins, it will lead a study of national best practices used to revitalize malls, Kautz said.

Other areas Some land in and just outside the core of the Heart of the City remains to be developed, Kautz said, specifying the area west of Pillsbury Avenue. The Cliff Road Business Park along Cliff and 12th Avenue — home to manufacturing, tech services and other business — still has a low vacancy rate but could use a new identity as a “modern, 21st century entrepreneurial, manufacturing and industrial center,� Kautz said. The city will study ways

Transportation Two bus stations on the I-35W Orange Line, which will open in 2020, are planned in the Heart of the City near Nicollet Avenue and Burnsville Parkway, Kautz said. A third future station is planned somewhere near Burnsville Center. “The Orange Line will provide consistent, daily, station-to-station bus access along I-35W from downtown Minneapolis to Burnsville,� the mayor said. The I-35W bridge between Bloomington and Burnsville will be replaced, with work beginning this year and most occurring in 2019, she said. And the city will spend nearly $11 million this year on local street reconstruction, rehabilitation and reclamation, Kautz said.

Police station The Police Department has begun moving back into the station next to City Hall it has occupied since 1988. A full renovation was the first major project in a multiyear series of city facility improvements officials laid out in a 2014 study. “The police space was completely gutted,� Kautz said. “By completely reconfiguring the existing space, making some small structural additions and adding a 30-plus-stall parking garage for squad cars ... our Police Department will be able to continue to serve and protect our community functionally and efficiently for years to come,� Kautz said.

Success in dance is nothing new to Eastview, which in its 21-year history has won 15 state titles — four are in Jazz. The team has won three straight High Kick state titles. The High Kick routine made an impact on judges and audiences this year as it incorporated elements of ballroom dance. “The authenticity of the Latin and Cuban music along with the ballroom steps made this routine stand out from their competitors due to its difficulty and energetic style,� Raiche said. In the Jazz category, Eastview went a different direction than most as it used instrumental music with voiceovers inspired by a blog written after the mass shooting outside a Las Vegas hotel during a country rock music concert. Raiche said the piece, for which choreography started not long after the shooting in October 2017, struck emotional responses from audiences. “The focus of the routine was to push the choreography in terms of movement quality while

maintaining strong technique and difficult skills,� Raiche said. “The message of the words was one important to me in that beyond teaching dance skills, it is my responsibility to help these young adults make a positive impact on our world.� Eastview advanced to state by earning top scores in the section and qualifying round during the twoday state meet. While the team has been practicing each weekday during the season for about two and a half hours each night, preparations for some competitions was complicated due to their participation in the Super Bowl halftime show, which was staged at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. Some of their practice time was devoted to secret preparations for the Super Bowl and led to additional practice time to be ready for sections. Raiche traces the desire for the team members to work hard and keep performing at a high level back to their first practices. “We spend a lot of time at the beginning of the season defining our purpose, setting lofty yet attainable goals and talking about what will make this team work this year,� Raiche said. “Our senior

leaders did a fantastic job this season of leading the way with their dedication, kindness and their ability to know when to have fun. We always change our kick routine part way through the season and that really helps (us) stay motivated.� This year’s seniors are Nina Boguslawski, Tessa Cockerill, Amber Fleck, Taylor Hallum, Carly Huyber, Abby Kisch, Tess Matalamaki and Caitlyn Schmitt. She called their final performances at state the season’s best. Kisch and Hallum were named to the Jazz All Tournament Team. Boguslawski and Matalamaki were named to the High Kick All Tournament Team. Cockerill, Kisch and Matalamaki earned AllState Academic, as the team garnered All State Academic honors with its 3.67 GPA. In addition to Raiche, the team is coached by Shannen Jilek, Toni Balliet, Shelby Feddema, Grace Gilberston, Tina Range, Taylor Varghese, Mikayla Larson and Jessica Padget.

Sports Pressure’s off Eagan skaters

Vonn wins bronze

Wildcats, making first state appearance since 2013, play Hill-Murray by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Much like the tradition of NHL players not touching the Stanley Cup until they’ve won it, Eagan’s girls hockey players can talk about the state tournament now that they’ll be playing in it. According to star forward Taylor Anderson, the Wildcats never said specifically their goal was to go to the state tournament. They didn’t have to. Everybody just assumed that, especially considering what the Wildcats have been through in the section playoffs the last several years. “We always just said we all know what our one goal is, so let’s try to progress as the season went on to get there,� Anderson said. A 4-3 victory over Eastview in the Section 3AA championship game Feb. 14 put Eagan in the state tournament for the first time in five years – and lifted a weight from the Wildcats’ shoulders. “Maybe we’ve gotten rid of that pressure,� coach Dan Wilson said. “Eastview has gone to state the last three years, and two of those years we lost to them in the (section) championship game. That definitely was a sour taste. It was our motivation. We talked about

our senior class that had not experienced the state tournament. A personal goal for me was to make it the best year ever for our senior group because they deserved it. “But we’re not done yet. We still have another goal in mind.� The Wildcats (22-5-2) play third-seeded HillMurray (24-4) in the Class AA quarterfinals at 1 p.m. Thursday at Xcel Energy Center. The winner plays Centennial or Lakeville South in the semifinals at 6 p.m. Friday. It’s the ninth trip to state for Eagan, which was runner-up in 1997 and has won the consolation championship three times. Three Wildcat seniors – captains Anderson, Kayla Vrieze and Abby Barger – said they knew the clock was ticking. Vrieze and Anderson have sisters who played in state tournaments for Eagan. “We were the first class that hadn’t been to the state tournament. All the classes above us had experienced it,� Vrieze said. “It was really important for us to have that experience as well.� Wilson became Eagan’s head coach in 2016 but was a spectator in the 2015 Section 3AA championship game, watching his daughter Alexia play for a Wildcat team that lost to Eastview 6-4.

“It was very fitting to actually beat them in the section championship game this year,� Dan Wilson said. Goals by Julia Barger and Bella Weaver in the final minute of the second period turned a 3-2 Eastview lead into a 4-3 Eagan lead in the Section 3AA final. Wildcats goalie Maddie Nickell stopped all 11 Eastview shots in the third period. Lauryn Roszak scored in the first period for Eagan and Emily Cronkhite scored in the third. Eastview finished a 9-17-2 season with its ninth one-goal loss. Mikayla Kelley scored twice and Kati Quaintance once for the Lightning, but it wasn’t enough for a fourth consecutive state tournament trip. In addition to losses to Eastview in the section final two of the last three years, Eagan fell to East Ridge in overtime in the 2017 semifinals. Eagan beat East Ridge 2-0 in this year’s semifinals. “This one was really special because the last three years we lost to Eastview and East Ridge to end our season, and this year we ended both of their seasons,� Abby Barger said. Eagan’s challenge Thursday is containing Hill-Murray’s top line, which according to Wil-

son has scored about 60 percent of the Pioneers’ goals. “I think they have more talent than us, but we have a lot of hard workers,� Vrieze said, “and I think that’s going to work well for us in 1-on-1 battles, things like that.� Anderson, who has signed with Minnesota Duluth, leads Eagan in scoring with 50 points (28 goals, 22 assists). She said she likes the composition of this year’s Wildcat team. “Our goaltending is as strong as I’ve ever seen it,� she said. “And it’s awesome to see our younger girls step up. “In the offensive zone, our big thing this year is to go hard and hit the net. We don’t have a lot of size, especially among the young girls coming up, so we had to learn to use our speed and take quick shots to beat those bigger teams.� Anderson and Vrieze sought advice from their older sisters who have played in the state tournament. One phrase, Anderson said, stuck with her: “It’s one of the best weekends of your life, so don’t forget it.� Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

Eagan’s Palmquist is Alpine runner-up North skiers 3rd, 4th in girls race by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lakeville South’s boys team and Eagan ninthgrader Camden Palmquist took aim at state Alpine skiing championships Wednesday, with each coming up just short. The Cougars were second in the team competition at Giants Ridge in Biwabik, finishing 10 points behind state champion Minnetonka. Palmquist was second to Hermantown’s Austin Danelski in the individual standings. Palmquist’s time of 1:11.89 over two runs was about one second behind Danelski but approximately two seconds ahead of the third-place finisher, Sam Shiedman of Breck. Lakeville North, the 2017 state girls team runner-up, finished fifth Wednesday. Stillwater won the championship by

one point over Mankato West. Minnetonka placed three skiers in the top nine among those in the team competition. Lakeville South, which finished second to Edina at the Section 6 meet, had two skiers in the top 10 and five in the top 19. Edina finished third at the state meet, 11 points behind Lakeville South. Lakeville South senior Brandon Wentworth was fifth among skiers in the team competition and 11th overall (including individual qualifiers) in 1:16.24. Kyle Wentworth, a ninth-grader, was 20th overall in 1:18.18. The Cougars’ Joe Olson was 35th in 1:20.11 and Jon Olson finished 39th in 1:21.23. Also skiing for the South boys were Oliver Grasdal (41st, 1:21.54) and Espen Grasdal, who did not complete his second run. Eagan’s Palmquist, who was 26th at the 2017

state meet and won the 2018 Section 6 championship, had the secondfastest time on both runs Wednesday. Danielski was third after the first run but had the fastest time on the second run. Kaarl Damberg of Mounds View led after the first run but fell on his second, dropping back to 19th place overall. Eastview’s Joshua Doolittle finished 13th in 1:16.69. Romeo Sweeney of Lakeville North took 17th in 1:17.18 and Tye Ahlberg of Rosemount finished 30th in 1:18.97. Izak Hofstad of Eagan was eighth after the first run but did not complete his second. Junior Kathryn Kossack and ninth-grader Peyton Servais led Lakeville North’s girls at the state meet, placing second and third among skiers in the team competition. Overall, Kossack was third in 1:16.62 and Servais fourth in 1:17.52. Becca Divine of Eden

Prairie won the girls individual championship in 1:15.44. Stillwater placed four skiers in the top 24 among those in the team competition. Mankato West, which was second to Lakeville North at the Section 6 meet, had four in the top 26. North’s Isabelle Urban was 56th overall in 1:28.18 and Abigail Hahs was 61st in 1:29.19. Tera Cunningham was 67th and Jane Steel finished 84th after encountering problems on her second run. Hannah Rost of Lakeville South finished 13th overall in 1:19.58, one spot ahead of Eastview’s Kate Young, whose time was 1:19.66. Sophia Palmquist of Eagan placed 23rd in 1:21.29, with her teammate Hannah Burns placing 55th in 1:28.08. Lauren Nida of Lakeville South did not finish.

Gude and Blaze teammates Thomas Ryan, Matthew Berg, Andrew Qualley, Dawson Quimby, Michael Kraimer and Darren Wong finished 15th in the boys team standings. Martin, a senior, qualified individually and finished 63rd in the boys pursuit race. Eagan sophomore Brian Dilla also competed in boys pursuit. Eastview was 11th in the girls team competition.

In this photo from her Instagram account, Lindsey Vonn poses with the bronze medal she won in women’s downhill Wednesday at the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea. It’s the third Olympic medal for the Buck Hill-trained skier, who won a gold in downhill and a bronze in Super-G at the 2010 Olympics. At 33, she is the oldest woman to win an Olympic Alpine medal. Vonn was scheduled to ski in the combined competition Wednesday night, after this edition went to press. She has said this is her final Olympics, but is expected to ski at least one more season to go after the World Cup all-time record of 86 victories held by Ingemar Stenmark. Vonn has 81 victories, most by a female skier.

Panthers get chance to defend state gym title Race in Class AA could be crowded by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

It hasn’t been the easiest path back to the state meet for defending Class AA gymnastics champion Lakeville North, which had to work through a string of injuries before turning in its best scores in its last two meets. The Panthers reached 150 points for the first time this season last Friday in the Section 2AA meet at Lakeville South High School, scoring 150.05 to win the team championship, with the host Cougars taking second. Four North gymnasts also qualified for the individual portion of the state meet. Class AA team competition is 6 p.m. Friday at Maturi Pavilion on the University of Minnesota campus, with the individual meet at 6 p.m. Saturday. Lakeville North will be favored in Friday’s state team competition because the Panthers are defending champions and ranked No. 1 in the state, but several other teams are within range. The group of pursuers includes Owatonna, which scored 149.80 in the Section 1AA meet, Stillwater and St. Cloud Tech. “There are going to be at least four really strong teams there,� Lakeville North coach Teri Homan said. “Any one of them can win if they have a good day.� Lakeville North, also the South Suburban Conference champion, scored 149.975 against Eden Prairie in its final regular-season meet, which had been the Panthers’ highest team score of the season until last Friday. “That might be the thing we’re happiest about – our last two meets have been our best of the year,� Homan said. “And we still think there’s room for improvement. Our goal is to hit 20 for 20 on our routines, and we haven’t done that yet. We hit 16 at the section meet. It’s tough to hit all 20, especially at the state meet, but that’s what we’re going for.� Panthers sophomore Rachel Steiner was Section 2AA all-around champion, and senior

Cali Berg took third. Both will compete in Saturday’s Class AA individual meet, as will Delaney Gipp on uneven bars, balance beam and floor exercise, and Ashley Goodlund on bars. As for the injuries, Homan said they haven’t really gone away but won’t prevent any Panther gymnasts from competing at state. Considering the impact gymnasts absorb over months of practice and competition, it’s a given that nobody is 100 percent healthy at the state meet. “Injuries are something you have to push to the back of your mind. You’re out there for a certain amount of time, and you have to give your best,� Homan said. “Any gymnast would tell you the same thing.� Lakeville North scored 149.325 points to win the 2017 Class AA meet, which was the Panthers’ first state championship in 14 years. Steiner was runner-up on floor exercise and uneven bars and placed fifth all-around.

Section 3AA East Ridge will return to the state team competition after winning the Section 3AA championship last Friday at Woodbury High School. The Raptors scored 146.55 points at the section meet. Their closest pursuers were Eagan (143.40) and Apple Valley/ Eastview (142.25). Bailey Davidson of Apple Valley/Eastview advances to state by finishing second in the Section 3AA all-around with 37.75. She also was section champion on balance beam. Kelsey Dolejs (vault), Abby Swanson (uneven bars) and Maddie Appleton (balance beam) also will represent Apple Valley/ Eastview at the state individual competition at 6 p.m. Saturday at the University of Minnesota. Eagan’s Shannon McCoy qualified for the state meet on vault, uneven bars and balance beam, and teammate Teagan Ramboldt will advance on floor exercise.

Timing of the project is critical for the safety of the general public and to minimize 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 City of Eagan, and the bidder’s availability of major equipment to perform this project. A Technical Proposal must be submitted by each prospective bidder so the Contractor’s performance can be evaluated prior to the submission of a bid. Mandatory Pre-Bid Meeting: A mandatory Pre-Bid Conference will be held at 10:30 a.m. C.S.T., Monday, March 5, 2018, at the Eagan Municipal Center at 3830 Pilot Knob Road, in the Conference Room 1A & B (1st Floor). 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 10:30 a.m. C.S.T., Monday, March 12, 2018, at the Engineering Division (1st Floor), Eagan Municipal Center, 3830 Pilot Knob 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.

Hall was a strong advocate for the high school students and staff, said Gerry Ackermann, a retired assistant superintendent in District 191. He was an “extremely inclusive leader” who left major decisions on programs, curriculum and student behavior to an instructional council of department leaders, Ackermann said. “He had an ability to attract an exceptionally strong staff,” Ackermann said. “He had a number of teachers that were state Teachers of the Year and one that even went on for national accolades. He attracted some fantastic folks.” Ackermann asked Hall to spend the last years of his career as District 191 curriculum director, which he did until 2000. With BHS enrollment approaching 3,000 across three grades, Hall served with Ackermann on a committee that developed the concept for a Senior Campus, where seniors would attend school half the day to relieve overcrowding at the main campus. The campus opened in 1997 in the old Diamondhead shopping center, which the district had purchased, and closed after the 2015-16 school year. “There were staff people who absolutely thought that was the worst thing in the world we could do. And there were those who said this was the greatest thing since sliced bread,” Roy recalled. “Howard found a way to bring them together and say, ‘We’ve made this decision, we’re going to do it, and it is about the students.’ ” Hall was at the center of the district’s rapid response to the historic April 1994 arson fire at the high school, which required a hasty relocation of classes for the remainder of the year and a massive reconstruction to reopen school the following September. “Howard was helping us every inch of the way,” Roy said. “A very defining moment — I hate to say it was the only moment, because it wasn’t, but it was certainly a moment when the community saw the leadership.” Hall, who lived in Burnsville until moving to Lakeville near the end of his life, is survived by his brother, Charles; wife, Mary; children, Steven (Pam), Stuart (Connie) and Jennifer (Patti); and grandchildren, Mitchell, Jordan, Madeline and Ashley. Visitation was Feb. 15 at White Funeral Home in Burnsville. The memorial service was Feb. 16 at River Hills United Methodist Church in Burnsville.

1950s, playing offensive tackle. He attended college for two years, served in the Army for two years, finished his undergraduate degree in another two and later amassed five postgraduate degrees, Stuart said. His first job was teaching physical education in Mexico, Stuart said. Hall was a principal in Macon, Missouri, and Kankakee, Illinois, before coming to Burnsville in 1972. Serving from 1972 to 1996, Hall presided over many of the school’s glory years, with ever-rising enrollments and state championship teams led by the likes of football coach Dick Hansen and hockey coach Tom Osiecki. “He enjoyed it,” Stuart said. “He was gone every morning at 5 and didn’t come home until 6 o’clock. He could hardly get enough of it.” Academics and sports weren’t mutually exclusive to Hall. “He took a lot of pride in what was going on in the building from an academic perspective and also from an athletic perspective,” Stuart said. “He was a firm believer that athletics and post-curricular stuff would carry the morale of the students.” Unlike many principals, he assigned himself a group of students to advise every year, Stuart said. “He would usually pick troubled kids. He just did not want them to get lost in the shuffle,” said Stuart, a 1982 BHS graduate. Hall mixed sternness, understanding and a dry sense of humor when working with families on discipline problems, said former District 191 parent and School Board Member Vicki Roy. “My generation was kind of the beginning of this new generation of parents who wanted to be involved and perhaps didn’t know quite how to do it, so we pushed a little bit more than we probably should have but felt that we had a place there,” Roy said. “He had to find a way to deal with the old-school thinking and deal with the new-school thinking and bring us all together.” Roy, who served on a committee with Hall that recommended against building a second high school to handle mushrooming enrollment, said he always welcomed innovation — including the University of Minnesotaaffiliated College in the Schools program, which was pushed by former English teacher Muriel Thompson. “We were among the pioneers” in CIS, Roy said. “He not only allowed it but encouraged it, and en- Contact John Gessner at couraged us to continually john.gessner@ecm-inc.com find new ways to update or 952-846-2031. education and the way we looked at it.”

VIKINGS, from 1A

In the ordinance, charcoal and propane grill devices are also permitted. For any tailgating event, the Vikings are required to implement a security plan acceptable to the Eagan Police Department. Drive aisles are also required to be maintained to a width of no less than 20 feet. The Minnesota Legislature had to approve special legislation last year to allow Eagan to permit the sale of alcohol at the stadium, the plaza area and tailgating areas. The Vikings, along with the concessionaires and caterers, would be required to obtain all permits from the city to sell and serve alcohol.

15 miles per hour. A water supply or approved fire extinguishing device should be readily available. The fires must be attended by someone older than 18 at all times. “You can only burn clean, dry firewood,” Scott said. Scott said they want to avoid the portable fire pits. Poppen didn’t have a clear idea how it would work yet, but in the future, the facility would likely have two to three designated areas with open fires at least 25 feet away from other vehicles. And there would need to be a clear drive lane for vehicle access. “It would be a clearly marked area,” Poppen Contact Andy Rogers at said. andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.
