District 196: Seven vie to fill spot on School Board Seven candidates are running in the special election on Aug. 9 for one four-year term seat on the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School Board. They are Craig Angrimson, Michael Atherley, Sachin Isaacs, Wendy Brekken, Christopher Dahling, John Millea and Rachel Wetzsteon. A special election was set after former School Board Member Rob Duchscher resigned in March.

Craig Angrimson Age: 60 Address: 6054 Falcon Ridge Trail, Apple Valley Occupation: OpCraig erating enAngrimson gineer Family: Wife, Gail; daughter, Rachel, 19, Qualifications: I am currently on the District 196 Legislative Advisory Council, am a past union president, a member of the executive board for St. Paul Labor Federation and chaired the 2015 EVHS senior party. 1) Why should people vote for you? Over the past two decades, I have shown my passion to improve this district. I am on district panels, chaired huge school events, attend all School Board meetings (only candidate to do so, most don’t go at all). I give my time freely to any school where help is needed. I am smart enough to realize I do not have all the answers, but when posed a ques-

tion or problem, I do my research and am able to find a solution. At my job, I have been on budget committees, safety committees, labor management panels, and am constantly consulted to troubleshoot problems. 2) What is the biggest issue facing the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District? How would you address that issue? Narrow the achievement gap. I believe allday kindergarten is helping. I believe we should put more time into early assessments. Let’s find the students who need extra help earlier in their education, and respond accordingly. Let’s increase the cooperation between schools, parents, and community. Strong parent involvement has a direct impact. I also endorse more training for elementary teachers to maximize the new literacy collaborative program. I also believe the roll out of mini tablets this year will bring technology more into play, which is where the future is headed. In addition, I approve moving senior high start times to 8:30 a.m. 3) What experiences have prepared you for service on the District 196 School Board? As a past union president, I was in a position where I was expected to make decisions for our entire group. At my present job, I am in charge of all maintenance. I do purchasing, budgeting, and scheduling of outside contractors. Earlier in my career, I was a cement mason and Realtor.

All of these experiences not only shows my ability to work hard, but also my familiarity with construction costs. This will be a huge help on deciding capital project expenditures, as well as managing the day to day costs of running a school district.

Michael Atherley Age: 42 A d d r e s s : 1 3 3 8 3 Carlingford Lane, R o s e mount O c c u p a t i o n : Michael C o m m e r- Atherley cial banking Family: Wife, Danette; son, Ian, 10; daughter, Paige, 8. Both children attend Shannon Park Elementary. Qualifications: I have been an individual producer and have led teams and regions for both large national and small regional banks. I have a BSBA in economics from University of Nevada, Las Vegas. I have served on many nonprofit boards and committees. I have been a board member of the South Central Workforce and the South Central College Foundation Board, and a member of the United Way community impact committee. I am volunteer and leader in my local church and my community. I am a precinct chair for the Republican Party in Senate District 57 and am active in my party. I coach youth sports for my children and I am a mem-

ber of the In-house Baseball board of RAAA. 1) Why should people vote for you? I am running for School Board as a parent of children in the school district. I am someone who knows how to work hard and have gained an education that has served me well in having a great career in banking. I have a unique perspective having been raised and schooled in Las Vegas, one of the worst performing states for education. I moved to Minnesota to raise my children in an environment that values education and family. I chose Rosemount and District 196 because of the great community and schools. I would like the opportunity to be a part of the Board of Education to give parents a voice, and to provide a strong financial voice for the board. I am a fiscal conservative and will be an advocate for responsible spending by the district.  2) What is the biggest issue facing the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District? How would you address that issue? We are faced with many issues from the achievement gap, rapidly growing enrollment, and teens who are not getting enough sleep. But I believe the biggest issue facing the school district is the rapidly changing technology that our children have at their fingertips. We need curriculum built around this technology. Children need to be immersed in a world that utilizes technology, but is not ruled by technol-

ogy and simply relying on technology for entertainment. Children need to be exposed to more project-based learning and learn critical-thinking skills. Our children are overly stimulated and need to have a strong foundation, rooted in self-discipline and strong work ethic to succeed, not just in school, but in life. We are faced with a school district with aging infrastructure, which can be a hindrance to implementing the needed technology, and if we are not careful, can lead to runaway spending. Not to say the other challenges are not important, but I feel those are being addressed and are already a big focus for the district. 3) What experiences have prepared you for service on the District 196 School Board?

John Millea Age: 57 A d d r e s s : 16991 Gerdine Path, R o s e mount O c - John c u p a t i o n : Millea M e d i a specialist with the Minnesota State High School League Family: Wife, Beth; adult sons: John Jr. and Joe, and adult daughter, Allison. John Jr. is a structural engineer in Napa, Calif. Joe is a university music faculty member in Tempe, Ariz. Allison is an English teacher at Burnsville High School. Qualifications: My work takes me to schools throughout Minnesota, and I have a deep knowledge of districts. Quoting a School Board member who endorsed me: “John has spent his career connected to education. He understands the conversations; he’s ready to do the work.� (More information on Facebook; search “John For 196.�) 1) Why should people vote for you? My strong connections to education in Minnesota, paired with a deep desire to give back to my community, make me a great choice for voters. My children received world-class educations in District 196 and I want to ensure the same for all students in our schools. I am passionate about my job with the Minnesota State High School League, especially my interactions with students, teachers, administrators and parents. Public education is a cornerstone of our nation’s strength and I want to help District 196 remain the best in Minnesota. 2) What is the biggest issue facing the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District? How would you address that issue?  Our district is growing, as evidenced by the current construction of our 19th elementary school. Growth means new and distinct challenges that must be met. I am concerned about continuing to ensure a quality education for all students and especially those who come from an economically disadvantaged background. Nearly onequarter of our students receive free or reducedprice school meals, and we cannot allow any students to receive a lessthan-stellar education. In my eyes, the key to everything that happens in our schools is the direct relationship between teacher and student. We must do everything possible to enhance that relationship. 3) What experiences have prepared you for service on the District 196 School Board? From the day my oldest child walked into school for the first time, I have maintained solid ties with District 196. My position with the MinneSee ELECTION, 5A

I believe in our district’s hard work, and I want to make sure that this continues. If elected, I promise to look at school policies from all angles, listen to the community, and make balanced and informed decisions to use our resources efficiently. 2) What is the biggest issue facing the Rosemount-Apple Valley- Eagan School District?

How would you address that issue? The biggest issue facing the district is ensuring the needs of all students are being met, including closing the achievement gap. I would address this issue through continued early literacy intervention, ongoing review of curriculum, exploring technology options, and ensuring that our district’s best resource — our teachers — have the tools they need and are part of finding a solution. It is about more than closing the achievement gap, however, it is about finding ways to engage and challenge all of our students, improving upon the excellent education already provided in District 196, and preparing them for the world beyond graduation. 3) What experiences have prepared you for service on the District 196 School Board?

Opinion Full two-year Minnesota college grants still available by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

A full, two-year tuition grant is still available for this year’s Minnesota high school graduates. This is one of the best deals that 2016 high school graduates will ever encounter. It’s available at Anoka Technical College, and possibly at other two-year public colleges, for students whose families earn $90,000 or less. At a time when many families are understandably concerned about college costs, this is a remarkable experiment created by the 2015 Minnesota Legislature. Mary Jacobson, director of marketing and public relations for Anoka-Ramsey Community College and Anoka Technical College, told me recently that Anoka Tech still has some of the two-year “occupational grants” available for eligible students. To apply, students must fill out the federal FAFSA form showing their family’s income. The grant will pay up to 100 percent of tuition costs for students taking courses in many technical fields. The state funds are applied after all other state and federal grants for which a student is eligible are used. It’s available for students who graduated from a Minnesota high school in 2016. Students who are eligible and interested should contact Jacobson at 763-433-1315. I checked with nine other two-year public colleges. Each said that they had allocated or are in the process of allocating the two-year occupational grant funds available to them. However, in

Joe Nathan some cases there are no students on the “waiting list.” And some students who have been awarded the grants may have applied to more than one college. So it’s possible that some of the grant money will be available at other campuses. Central Lakes (Brainerd) – Mike Barnaby, director of financial aid at Central Lakes College in Brainerd, told me that the college has awarded about $160,000 to 33 students. These students were notified in June. At this point they have no funds remaining. Century College (White Bear Lake) – Jason Cardinal, associate dean of enrollment management at Century College in White Bear Lake, told me that they were estimating “over 60 participants” in the occupational grant program. Letters were sent in mid-July to those being offered the grant. Dakota County Technical College (Rosemount) – Dakota County Technical College President Tim Wynes explained that Rosemount college received about $153,000. College staff are reviewing applications. Wynes anticipates that students will be notified by July 29 about whether they will receive occupational grants. Hennepin Technical College (Brooklyn Park and Eden Prairie) – Tim Ja-

cobson, director of financial aid at Hennepin Technical College, with campuses in Brooklyn Park and Eden Prairie, explained that the school notified 26 students the first week of July that they will be receiving the occupational grant funds. They have allocated all funds provided to them and are waiting for confirmation from these students. Inver Hills Community College (Inver Grove Heights) – Inver Hills Community College President Tim Wynes explained that the college, in Inver Grove Heights, received about $131,000. College staff are reviewing applications. Wynes anticipates that students will be notified by July 29 about whether they have been awarded occupational grants. Normandale Community College (Bloomington) – Steven Geller, director of media and public relations with Normandale Community College in Bloomington, explained that 43 students received the occupational grant and that about 40 are on a waiting list. North Hennepin Community College (Brooklyn Park) – Steve Yang of North Hennepin Community College in Brooklyn Park wrote that as of July 5, there were no students yet on the waiting list. So there may be opportunities for students who had not yet applied. Pine Technical Community College (Pine City) – Shawn Reynolds, financial aid director at Pine Technical and Community College in Pine City, explained the college sent notices to seven students early in June that they had received the occupational grant. However, Reynolds added,“I do anticipate being able to award additional funds as we get closer

to fall semester with students making adjustments to their schedules.” St. Cloud Technical and Community College (St Cloud) – Anita Baugh, director of financial aid at St. Cloud Technical and Community College, explained that the college planned to notify students in mid-July if they received the occupational grant. Ginny Dobbs, manager of state financial aid programs at the Minnesota Office of Higher Education Office, has been overseeing the project. She told me that funds were allocated to each campus based on a formula that included how many students on their campus would have been eligible for the grants if they had been available in 2015. Dobbs also explained that her office plans to “contact campuses during fall term to see if any have excess funds that can be allocated to other campuses.” Minnesota legislators decided to test what would happen when they expanded opportunities for students to enroll in occupation programs at the state’s public two-year colleges. It appears that there still are opportunities for students who want to participate. I’d encourage checking into it immediately if you are interested.

Stopped by a cop? Stay safe with these experts’ tips by Don Heinzman SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Drivers who have been pulled over by a police officer know it is a tense time for the motorist and the officer. Questions about the proper way to react to a traffic stop have been in the news ever since a St. Anthony Police officer stopped a car driven by Philando Castile. For some reason yet to be determined by investigators, officer Jeronimo Yanez shot and killed Castile. Castile allegedly told Yanez he had a permit to carry a gun, but what transpired during their brief encounter and led to the fatal shooting still is unclear. It does make many motorists wonder what they should do to reduce any potential stress during a traffic stop. Bloomington Police Chief Jeff Potts, who has considerable experience in traf-

Sun Thisweek Columnist

Don Heinzman fic law enforcement, offers these suggestions for drivers who may also be legally carrying a weapon: –When you see a squad car with blue and red lights flashing, immediately pull over to the side of the road, leaving room for the officer. Roll down the window, wait and place both hands on the steering wheel at 2 and 10. –Immediately tell the officer you have a permit to carry a handgun. You are not legally obligated to reveal if you have a gun in the car, but Potts advised to do

just that, and also where it is located, while keeping both hands on the wheel. –The officer may advise you to tell where the weapon is located. Do not reach for the glove compartment or a purse, for example, in the car. Rather, carefully follow the officer’s instructions to the letter. Kevin Michalowski, a part-time police officer and editor of Concealed Carry Magazine, has other suggestions if you have a weapon with you. He says shut off your engine and turn on your hazard lights if it is dark. Also, turn on the lights inside the car and keep your hands on the wheel. Like Potts, he said if you have a weapon in the car, calmly alert the officer you are legally armed and follow his instructions, slowly narrating what you are doing. Michael Briggs, a firearms instructor

in Anoka, told The Christian Science Monitor that if your firearm is on your hip and your identification is in your back pocket, let them know: “I have a firearm on me. What would you like me to do next?” What if you are stopped for having a burned out taillight? Most officers will give you a “fix it” warning. Some will just tell you to have it repaired, after checking your identification. If you have several defects on the car, the officer may give you a ticket. A traffic stop can be eased for the motorist and the officer. Make it positive by following the officer’s instructions exactly and keeping your hands on the steering wheel.

Letters Patriots should vote for Lewis

Howe was eliminated on the second ballot at the convention. There is a third candidate in the primary, but not much is known about him. What it comes down to is voting for the chosen candidate who can most easily defeat the pro-abortion, radical leftwing liberal Angie Craig. That candidate is Jason Lewis. Jason Lewis is experienced. He believes in limited government, the rights of states, protection of individual liberties, a balanced budget, economic responsibility, defending the Constitution and American values. He is a strong fiscal leader for working families. My family and I will be voting for Jason Lewis in the primary. I urge all other patriots to do the same.

To the editor: On Aug. 9 voters will be able cast a ballot in the primary election for a GOP congressional candidate in Minnesota’s 2nd District. The 2nd District convention easily, and with full confidence, nominated Jason Lewis as its candidate for the congressional seat. But, that did not suit two other candidates who decided, rather petulantly in public opinion, to go to an expensive and unnecessary primary election. At the district convention, Darlene Miller asked to be removed from the ballot before voting started because she realized she had absolutely no support. (At least Jason Lewis did not accept a government handout for his business, as did Ms. Miller.) John CHUCK ERICKSON Burnsville

forbearance here after.

To the editor: Did our governor speak too soon when he declared that Philando Castile would not have been shot had he been white? We are all taught not to be hasty in our judgment of others. No one should know or practice this virtue more carefully than those in high office. The consequences of imprudent speech has a multiplying and often deleterious effect when public officials utter them, especially when all factors are not yet present. For this same reason all citizens should be cautious about any rush to judgement, especially on matters this serious. Hopefully our governor will soon set a worthy example of prudence and

RICHARD IFFERT Eagan

To the editor: Reading Jerome Wacker’s letter to the editor in last week’s edition regarding the police killing of a young man who turned out to be on meth was troubling for me. To begin with, the police broke the window in his car so that they could get close enough to taser him. Furthermore, he did not get out of his car and flee wielding a knife in his hand until after these two unsuccessful tasering attempts. If this man had a gun in his possession, I believe he would have shown it at this time when the officers were within a few feet of his car. Mr. Wacker has reiterated the exact point that should be repeated once again, i.e., police are trained to shoot at the midsection which will normally kill. In this case, the man was running away from the car, not toward the officers, and yet reportedly 21 shots were fired to bring the suspect down. Seriously? Let us as a society begin to ask our police forces to consider a second method in bringing a man down, i.e., shooting at the lower extremities in those instances where killing a suspect is probably not necessary (as it was in my opinion in this instance). I would term this scenario as “shoot not to kill”

and would be utilized only in instances where a fleeing suspect probably does not have to be killed. I completely support our brave police officers but I believe there are many situations we witness often in the media which warrant this second approach of bringing a suspect down. I would like to see a “shoot not to kill” discussion begin all across our country in these days of utter violence.

District 196 Candidates ELECTION, from 3A sota State High School League affords me the opportunity to connect with schools in our state on a daily basis; I am a frequent classroom visitor, and I am always impressed by the positive things I see. Having such a connection with Minnesota school districts of all sizes also has reinforced my deeply held opinion that our district is the finest in the state.Â

Rachel Wetzsteon Age: 39 Address: 16287 Envoy Way, Lakeville Occupation: Reverend and higher brain living facilitator Family: Husband, Allan Dahlmeir; two sons, Rachel Kanen, 7; and Weston, Wetzsteon 5.

Qualifications: I earned my bachelor’s degree 2002 and my doctoral degree 2007 in exercise physiology from the University of Minnesota. I continued my research in pediatric health as a postdoctoral fellow at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Currently, I have a business in human potential and I am an ordained minister. 1) Why should people vote for you? Vote for me because I care about all of our children. I will listen to our school community and the parents and kids. I see potential in all people and I am passionate about enabling our children to tap and live their highest potential, purpose, and happiness. I care deeply about creating loving, supportive, and energetic environments for our children to express excellence in growth and learning. I think I would add value to the School Board because I will bring the voice of a parent, with children currently attending our schools,

to represent our families. My heart is invested. 2) What is the biggest issue facing the school district? How would you address that issue? Our children and families are dealing with a lot. Many parents are tired, overwhelmed, and frustrated and many children and adolescents are living in poverty and/or experiencing depression and anxiety. In order for children to focus, be present, and learn well, they need supportive and encouraging relationships with friends and family, they need to be well-nourished and getting plenty of sleep, and they need life skills for dumping stress. I believe we can implement programs to transform these circumstances and help all children grow into adults with the confidence and empowerment to create their dreams and live joyfully. 3) What experiences have prepared you for service on the District 196

School Board? I have been blessed with many life experiences in public education, music, health care, health research, wellness, personal and spiritual growth, relationships, and business that have prepared me to serve District 196. Specifically, I have taught courses at the University of Minnesota, conducted research studies with hundreds of children and adults, worked as a nursing assistant, led group fitness classes for 18 years, served as president and vice president of membership in Toastmasters, and facilitated transformation for my clients. I value love, peace, listening, respect, and integrity. These values drive my desire to support the greatest good for all of our children.

Letters LETTERS, from 4A dates were asked about later start times for high school students and also borrowing from the reserve, when necessary. Questions which were sent forward regarding Common Core and transgender locker rooms were never presented by Stute. My disappointment was obvious when I spoke to this moderator after the meeting. I also asked why the Pledge of Allegiance to the American flag was not said. Her reply was that nobody had requested it. Really? A public meeting about public schools and somebody has to ask for the pledge to be recited? I also asked why only softball questions had been asked. The reason given was that she was from the Chamber of Commerce and the only issues they were interested in were regarding economics. What about the issues

the community is interested in? Or doesn’t that matter anymore? What an intensely disappointing meeting it was. There are issues that the public needs to hear about but apparently the “chamber� doesn’t care. LESLIE HENSCHEL Apple Valley

More hoodwinking? To the editor: In his July 7 letter Corey Glab actually reinforces the point of how harmful today’s predatory profiteering and tax dodging is by referring to the works of the classic 18th century Scottish philosopher Adam Smith. U.S. Rep. John Kline, Donald Trump, the contemporary Republican Party and all the others named in the June 30 letter titled “Hoodwinked� all promote profiteering and tax

dodging. It was not always that way. At one time the Republicans actually improved America. For example by spearheading the Interstate Highway system and creating Social Security. However, today the GOP only wants to privatize everything so the socalled free enterprise can make a profit from our nation’s equity plus give unsavory the opportunities to raid our property. The stated aim of Republicans is to reduce our democratic government. That way uncontrolled capitalists can control and dole out any of the essential services they select and make big profit for themselves. As examples today we have Blackwater, which mutated into XE Services, again changing name to Academi to cover its tracks and conducting military activities without any accountability. Or by

Kline hosting job fairs where for-profit schools and lenders are preying on the needy. By comparison, in Germany these predators are eliminated because education is provided free even in university. Glab misrepresented the problems of Venezuela. Instead I would like to point to the growing unrest right here in our country. The root of it is the income disparity caused by this profiteering. A few stinking rich corrupt our democratic government with their wealth, kill regulation and take our jobs and money out of the country. Seeking prosperity for all is not socialism. We must rid ourselves of all the elected current obstructionists in Congress. Short of a revolution this purge is the only chance we citizens have to force the revival of the constructive Republican Party of the past. If you are a true conservative and a patriot, vote for the Democrats this fall because a society of tax dodging predators is not sustainable. JOE NIEDERMAYR Lakeville

Thank you To the editor: On behalf of the Dakota County Chiefs of Police Association and its law enforcement family, we would like to thank the people of Dakota County for their ongoing support of our officers. The outpouring of gifts – including food, flowers, and kind words – over the last several weeks has been positively overwhelming, encouraging, and a beautiful reminder of what drew us all to the public safety profession. From cookies to gift cards, from handwritten notes to handshakes on the street, the people in our cities and townships across the county have warmly and generously expressed their appreciation for the work we do. We cannot thank them enough. We are here to protect and serve our communities – and we love what we do. Now more than ever, we need to come together to foster relationships that build trust and understanding in our communities. We invite and encourage each and every one of

you to join us on Tuesday, Aug. 2, for the annual National Night Out/Night to Unite events throughout Dakota County. We will try to meet and mingle with as many of you as we can! The tragic events of the past few weeks do not need to define us. Together, we can keep our communities safe.

6A July 29, 2016 SUN THISWEEK - Burnsville - Eagan

Burnsville: 8 seek 4 spots on November ballot Eight candidates are running for the Burnsville City Council in the Aug. 9 primary election. The top four vote-getters will compete for two four-year terms in the November general election. Council members Suzanne Nguyen and Mary Sherry are not seeking reelection. Here are the candidates’ responses to a Sun Thisweek questionnaire. One, Russell Jenkins, didn’t return the questionnaire.

Jim Bradrick Age: 50 Address: 1416 Earle Way Occupation: Operations m a n a g e r, Jim Bradrick Shaw Stewart Lumber Co. Education: University of Northern Iowa Previous elected, appointed or volunteer positions: Burnsville Planning Commission; Burnsville Fire Muster Operations Team; Burnsville Mobile Volunteer Network; Burnsville, Bloomington and Richfield Certified Emergency Response Training; Burnsville Police Citizens Academy 1) Why are you running, and why should people vote for you? Burnsville has a tradition of our council working together to get things accomplished. In contrast to some metro cities, or our state and federal governments, that are dysfunctional and unable to work together. Everyone loses when this happens. This election could be a turning point. I believe that I am the best choice to preserve Burnsville’s solid foundation. My experience ensures I will be an active participant on day one with little to no learning curve. We must preserve the safety of our families and businesses. My support will not waver for our communityfocused police and fire departments. 2) What are the major issues facing the city? What do you propose to address them? I believe Burnsville is a wonderful place to live that offers significant advantages to residents and businesses. We do face some issues, however, I think we have the opportunity to find solutions in the following areas: aging city assets and redevelopment, landfill resolution and future development, protecting our waterways, our park system and completing the Heart of the City. I am committed to preserving Burnsville’s infrastructure trust fund, which funds maintenance of our city assets. As a member of the Economic Development Authority I will bring ideas to address development and redevelopment. I will work with all parties on the landfill closure project to protect our environment and the rights of the property owner and future development opportunities. I will preserve our beautiful parks and waterways. I am motivated to grow our local economy and ensure we are giving future generations a city they will be proud to live in. 3) A city tax levy increase of up to 3.7 percent (approximately $1.2 million) is being considered for 2017. Are you comfortable with the level of city taxes? Does the budget meet your priorities for city spending? If not, what would you change? Preserving public safety and our city assets does have a cost. However, just like any private business, we must consistently look for efficiency in what we do. I would not be in favor of a 3.7 percent increase. I believe we can always do better. I do not make that statement lightly. My understanding of the budget process is extensive and I understand the difficulties involved with maintaining

a city of our size and age. We are the stewards of the tax dollars collected from every resident and business owner. I respect they have entrusted us to invest it efficiently and responsibly. We must continue the council’s past accomplishments and prioritize our infrastructure, police and fire. 4) Assess the work of the current council. What would you bring to the table? I believe the council has done a good job in positioning Burnsville ahead of other cities. We are the first Minnesota city to fully equip our police officers with body cameras and we have an infrastructure trust fund that lowers special assessments for streets. Our triple-A bond rating allows us to borrow at the lowest rates available. As chair of the Planning Commission, I bring working knowledge of the city, making me effective on day one. With 27 years of real-world leadership experience in business since college, I believe I am ready for the job. 5) As Burnsville ages, what do you propose for keeping the city vibrant and appealing to new residents? First of all, we must maintain a safe and clean city and continue to bring amenities that will attract new residents. A city that is 99 percent developed does bring challenges. We must continue to look at city policies that slow redevelopment, and focus on options that are outside of the box. I would be in favor of high-end rental in specific parts of the city. As a planning commissioner I have been flexible and open-minded to support expansion of businesses and will continue to do so as your city councilman.

James Vincent Cammarato Age: 63 Address: 1408 Oak Leaf Lane O c cupation: Registered Investment A d v i s e r , James V. A m e r i c a n Cammarato I nv e s t o r s Group Inc. Education: Bachelor of science, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis Previous elected, appointed or volunteer positions: I have been elected to the board of directors of the Oak Leaf West Homeowners Association for more than 10 years and am the current treasurer. I mentor children (on a volunteer basis) at 360 Communities Lewis House in Eagan. I serve on the public policy committee for the Burnsville Chamber of Commerce. I have been elected as a delegate out my District 9 political caucus in 2012, 2014 and 2016. 1) Why are you running, and why should people vote for you? I care about people and I care about Burnsville’s future. I have extensive experience working with groups and boards to create positive outcomes. An example: I am a board member and the treasurer of the Oak Leaf West Homeowner’s Association, and we are now debt-free. After many years of foreclosures and lost association dues, we now have reserve funds to address future association needs. Currently, funding of the reserve funds projects the association to continue to be debt-free into the future. 2) What are the major issues facing the city? What do you propose to address them? I will work to have Burnsville adjust its commercial building codes and zoning so we could adapt quickly to appropriate commercial development possibilities. I see this as especially useful if an Orange Line bus rapid transit route in Burnsville

is approved. The project may include stations at the southwest corner of Nicollet Avenue and Highway 13 and near the intersection of Burnsville Parkway and Travelers Trail. I will be the watchdog Burnsville needs to monitor the hazardous waste site located in the proposed Minnesota River Quadrant development. Clean water is not negotiable. Clean water must be protected now and in the future. 3) A city tax levy increase of up to 3.7 percent (approximately $1.2 million) is being considered for 2017. Are you comfortable with the level of city taxes? Does the budget meet your priorities for city spending? If not, what would you change? Burnsville’s services and maintenance must be maintained. I am comfortable with a tax increase to meet these needs. I am also aware that tax dollars are being spent in nonessential areas. I would be an advocate of reassessing the use of tax dollars in these nonessential areas. I am also an advocate of the practical combination of city services with surrounding localities to increase efficiency and lower cost. 4) Assess the work of the current council. What would you bring to the table? I am not a status quo kind of person. I will show up and I will express my ideas because I want Burnsville to be a nurturing community for children and a safe community for adults to work and live in. My experience tells me that I will need to adjust or curtail some of the volunteer efforts, as I will always meet the commitments of this elected office. I am also a strong advocate of community involvement by local leaders. To this end I will work with local religious leaders and other community agencies to begin a public discussion on the prevention of domestic violence in Burnsville. 5) As Burnsville ages, what do you propose for keeping the city vibrant and appealing to new residents? I will work with Dakota County, the University of Minnesota and others to help education in Burnsville adapt to the needs of employers. I will be active in assessing the proposals for development in the Minnesota River Quadrant. I will be an advocate of a Burnsville Port Authority in the Minnesota River Quadrant site as I believe it would provide city revenue and business opportunities.

Kirk Duckwall Age: 35 Address: 159 Elizabeth Lane Occupation: Real estate agent E d u c a - Kirk tion: High Duckwall school and professional licensing programs and coinciding continuing education Previous elected, appointed or volunteer positions: No response 1) Why are you running, and why should people vote for you? I have always enjoyed the opportunity to serve my community. I served in the Minnesota National Guard for eight years. After that I joined my local police reserve unit. Now as a small-business owner and father, I think of this as a new way I can continue to serve. 2) What are the major issues facing the city? What do you propose to address them? Our city continues to grow every year and with that the stresses on our public safety system become greater and greater. I would like to make sure our fire and police departments are given the adequate resources to keep

response times within an acceptable range to residents. I feel that there are many roadblocks put up for small businesses wanting to open shop or expand and would like to make this process easier and faster to help foster greater business development in our city. 3) A city tax levy increase of up to 3.7 percent (approximately $1.2 million) is being considered for 2017. Are you comfortable with the level of city taxes? Does the budget meet your priorities for city spending? If not, what would you change? I do not see the need to raise the tax levy beyond what was required for 2016. With better technology being utilized by our city government, there are ways to keep tax levy amounts at their current level without impacting our current city staff. 4) Assess the work of the current council. What would you bring to the table? A couple of members of the current council are willing to bring critical thinking to the table but there seems to be a lack of overall consensus to explore multiple options to any given problem. I will bring the willingness to listen to the concerns my constituents have and the drive to always work for my community’s best interest. 5) As Burnsville ages, what do you propose for keeping the city vibrant and appealing to new residents? To keep the city vibrant and appealing to new residents, growth in community activities, retail, restaurant and entertainment development are necessary.

Dan Gustafson Age: 63 Address: 1305 Lacota Lane Occupation: Commercial and Residential Dan Real Estate Gustafson Education: High school Previous elected, appointed or volunteer positions: Burnsville City Council (2005-2012), chairman of the Chairman Government Affairs Committee of the Burnsville Chamber of Commerce (2004), founder of Burnsville Art and All that Jazz Festival (2004-2012) 1) Why are you running, and why should people vote for you? I believe my life experiences with raising a family, my community service work as a volunteer, my past accomplishments as a City Council member, my experience as a business owner and my family’s 15 years as a foster care provider have imparted to me a well-rounded perspective on life in our diverse and ever-changing community. I have faith these insights, combined with my eight years of experience as a council member, have and will continue to serve my family and the city of Burnsville. 2) What are the major issues facing the city? What do you propose to address them? The primary issue for our community has been and will continue to be ensuring the livability and safety of our city for our residents and businesses. This requires support for public safety, infrastructure improvements, quality housing opportunities for all, as well as engaging and diverse cultural and sports programs for our families. Another issue is our lack of housing as it pertains to our active seniors and empty nesters who may be downsizing along with the mobile and affluent millenials who are looking for today’s lifestyle housing and wish to rent instead of own but

still want to live in the city they helped build. Unfortunately, over 70 percent of our current stock of apartments are outdated and over 30 years old and can’t even meet today’s fire codes. In select areas of the city, I would engage with developers to provide new living concepts that these groups seek and expect today. 3) A city tax levy increase of up to 3.7 percent (approximately $1.2 million) is being considered for 2017. Are you comfortable with the level of city taxes? Does the budget meet your priorities for city spending? If not, what would you change? An overall city tax levy increase and the actual increase on our property taxes are two separate numbers. The levy is based on the actual money needed to operate city services such as public safety, public works and infrastructure repair. And unfortunately the cost of doing business continues to rise, not from adding more services or personnel, but from contract increases, the cost of goods going up and so on, the same as what every business and resident deals with every day in our personal lives. Our property tax is our share of the overall levy based on the value of our homes or commercial properties. If we are not expanding our tax base with new development, redevelopment and repurposing, our property taxes will continue to rise. We need to open Burnsville up for business and with the new comprehensive plan in development, the time is ripe to expand our tax base. 4) Assess the work of the current mayor and council. What would you bring to the table? While I am sure the mayor and the council have the best interest of the city at heart with the direction they are currently managing development, I believe that it is unwise to insist on keeping in place a framework plan for the Heart of the City and other areas of the city that were adopted in the 1980s and ‘90s without serious and open discussions with developers and residents to learn about new products, architectural design and building concepts as the market changes around us. And I believe our council needs to work diligently to ensure that as a council they are open to new ideas and that any applicant who approaches the council, regardless of the depths of their pockets, will be treated with respect and should have no fear of being rebuked simply because the council may not agree with the applicant. 5) As Burnsville ages, what do you propose for keeping the city vibrant and appealing to new residents? Burnsville is an aging community, but we are also a city with endless opportunities and possibilities for redevelopment and repurposing and I would work with the council to take a hard look at our zoning, city codes and policies to ensure they meet the needs and expectations of our current and future residents. Throughout our city, I see a great many of our neighbors have already taken the initiative to update their homes to reflect today’s lifestyle living environment. I would continuously work with residents and developers to provide opportunities for the new building products and designs that society expects today.

I believe I can utilize my skills in management, community mobilization, fiscal awareness and commitment to social and economic justice to improve the lives of Burnsville citizens. 2) What are the major issues facing the city? What do you propose to address them? Changing demographics: Look for creative ways to attract and retain these citizens by developing vibrant areas to live, eat and play. Budget: Are we allocating our budget in the best way possible? I would like to review previous council decisions related to the 2040 plan and inquire/ understand if we have allocated our budget dollars in the best way possible to continue to be progressive while keeping in mind the long term sustainable needs of the city. Public safety/infrastructure: Keeping our roads, bridges and facilities updated and in good working order are important to future growth, and asking the question — do our citizens feel safe? My thoughts are looking for opportunities to have an open dialogue regarding these issues. 3) A city tax levy increase of up to 3.7 percent (approximately $1.2 million) is being considered for 2017. Are you comfortable with the level of city taxes? Does the budget meet your priorities for city spending? If not, what would you change? We should all participate in “fiscal responsibility.” City Council members and citizens alike. The city budget is based on many factors, such as the state LGA (local government Aid), how much received can determine what the city tax levy will be. For 2016 the tax level was 4.6 percent, so to see the proposed increase for 2017 at 3.7 percent, a decrease from 2016, is encouraging and says to me that the City Council is mindful of the impact to citizens. The City Council is required to adopt a maximum tax levy and preliminary budget by Sept. 30, and when you take into account that 50 percent of the budget goes to public safety and another 25 percent goes to maintenance of streets, parks, snowplowing and other public works functions, all of which are services that are very important to citizens, I believe the council is on the right track. I would like more discussion about how to improve on services while looking for ways to reduce costs and what are the avenues we can use to do that, such as technology improvement initiatives. 4) Assess the work of the current council. What would you bring to the table? The current council has done a great job for the city of Burnsville and I commend the members for all of their hard work. I bring my background and experiences which can provide another perspective to the table. I have worked in the private sector for 25 years and in the public sector for nine years, and I know See BURNSVILLE, 7A

The balance is always providing the services the residents have come to expect at a reasonable cost. My goal on the council will be to make sure we are spending our money wisely. One area I think we need to budget for but have not is to build a garage for our police cars. I don’t want to find out that someone has died or been hurt because one of the cars needed to have snow and ice removed before it could respond to a call. 4) Assess the work of the current council. What would you bring to the table? The current council works hard to keep Burnsville a thriving community. What I can provide is an additional viewpoint. While working in the schools I have seen the struggles that families face every day. While working as a contractor I have seen how out-of-control regulations can make it difficult to stay in business. And as a father I have worked to raise my children in a safe environment. My goal is to help others so that they can experience the best of what Burnsville can be. 5) As Burnsville ages, what do you propose for keeping the city vibrant and appealing to new residents? I have had family in Burnsville for most of the last 46 years. What always attracted me then still attracts me now. I love the easy freeway access, safe neighborhoods, proximity to shopping and a wide variety of entertainment and food within an easy drive. What helps keep me

here is the strong business climate and the people. How do we attract others in the future? Give them a safe environment with a wide variety of amenities. Keep taxes low and regulations within reason. And as a city, spend our money wisely and on things the community needs.

caucus positions in constituent services and research. When Republicans retook the House in 2010, Boroff was promoted to the office of new Majority Leader Matt Dean, where her duties included scheduling bills to be heard on the House floor. “That’s the gig you want, those jobs in the speaker’s office and the majority leader’s office,� Boroff said. But with twin boys at home, Boroff burned out on the late-night grind legislative-session politics and left in June 2011, before Republicans lost back the House in the November elections. “I looked pretty brilliant at the time,� Boroff said. “I’d like to say it was all part of my plan, but I felt bad for my colleagues who didn’t have a job after that.� She applied with the

sick leave and requires Berenz to pay premiums a change which allows her associated with retiree life to accumulate an unlim- insurance. The district ited amount of unused previously paid these premiums.

The staff job included door-knocking for state Rep. Lloyd Cybart of Apple Valley, who went down in that year’s wave of Democratic victories. “It was actually really terrible,� Boroff said, laughing. “I say it lovingly that that was the worst job I ever had. Door-knocking, you have to be a really interesting person to love that.� Back at the Capitol she worked as a legislative assistant assigned to a trio of outstate legislators — Torrey Westrom, Bud Nornes and Tony Cornish — which helped raise her game on agricultural issues.

Age: 45 Address: 30 Walden Street Occupation: Journalist, interior design Cara Schulz Education: Journalism, mass communication Previous elected, appointed or volunteer positions: Chaired several industry associations. Volunteer at food shelves, veterans groups and with persons experiencing homelessness. 1) Why are you running, and why should people vote for you? My parents instilled a strong sense of community service in my sister and me. We were taught to help neighbors in need, offer service through other avenues, and to value tradition and seek excellence through innovation. They also taught me to be accountable. I’ll publicly post how I’ll vote on each issue before the council and why. I served my country in the U.S. Air Force during the first Gulf War, my industry through hard work in multiple board positions, the Twin Cities through direct charitable action, and I’d be honored to serve Burnsville if I earn your vote. 2) What are the major issues facing the city? What do you propose to ad-

dress them? I’ve talked with many of you as I’ve gone door to door and you’ve told me what most concerns you: quality schools, keeping the city vibrant, safe neighborhoods, and reasonable taxes. Most of these concerns boil down to attracting young families to Burnsville. Young families are actively involved in their school district. They remodel their homes and landscape their yards, which raises neighborhood home values. They participate in community events, adopt parks, volunteer, and patron the arts. They shop at businesses and dine at restaurants. Realtors are key to bringing in young families. They steer families away, or toward, our city. I’ll meet with Realtors and point out all our community has to offer: a professional police force with excellent community relations, easy access to anywhere in the Twin Cities, affordable homes, and a true community rather than a bedroom suburb. 3) A city tax levy increase of up to 3.7 percent (approximately $1.2 million) is being considered for 2017. Are you comfortable with the level of city taxes? Does the budget meet your priorities for city spending? If not, what would you change? There appears to be a problem with proper budgeting for expected expenses as last year’s and next year’s tax increases are for repairs and replacement of needed vital city infrastructure. Just as a responsible homeowner saves money for routine maintenance, such as a new roof every 20 years, a city needs to do the same. Obviously we aren’t doing that. These types of tax

increases hit young people and those living on fixed incomes the hardest and should be avoided through realistic budgeting. 4) Assess the work of the current council. What would you bring to the table? The process of government is often confusing, frustrating, and dysfunctional. It tends to layer bad fixes on top of bad ideas and treats citizens as annoyances. I’ll get information to residents before decisions are made, which is often months prior to a council meeting vote. If we need to remove the original bad idea to correctly fix the underlying issue, I’ll push for that to happen. I’ll listen to your solutions instead of ignoring them. If there are outdated or unfair codes and ordinances, I’ll propose an update or removal. This answer isn’t glamorous or fun, but worthwhile work rarely is. 5) As Burnsville ages, what do you propose for keeping the city vibrant and appealing to new residents? We need to build on our strengths. Residents have already adopted parks, now they’re willing to create community gardens. Older residents want to stay independent in their own homes, yet wish for a way to have a relative assist them while both maintain their privacy. Change city code to allow for a separate “mother-in-law� quarters. And in a time of social upheaval and fear, potential new residents will appreciate the Burnsville Police Department’s peace officer approach to community policing.

corn growers association in part, Boroff said, because rural Minnesota politics tend to be more bipartisan, moderate and focused on results. “I just kind of liked the way they operated,� she said. “So when someone mentioned that the corn growers were looking for someone, I thought maybe that would be a good change of things.� The 7,200-member organization has been ensconced in the issue of Minnesota’s water quality, about which Gov. Mark Dayton and others have raised alarms. Minnesota is the nation’s third-largest cornproducing state. Nonpoint source pollution is the largest cause of surface water-body pollution, according to the state Pollution Control Agency. And the largest source of nonpoint source pollution is the runoff of excess

nutrients from fertilizers used in agricultural operations, according to Deborah Swackhamer, recently retired co-director of the University of Minnesota’s Water Resource Center. “Minnesotans care a lot about their water quality,� Boroff said. “I would argue that farmers do, too. They’re multigenerational. They don’t want to pollute their water, either. And I think they genuinely want to be a part of the conversation in how we address the problems. “Farmers aren’t the only contributors to water quality impact. We all have a role to play in addressing it. I think it would be a much better conversation to have than people pointing the finger, because people automatically get defensive. I think farmers get defensive when that’s the conversation.� Dayton’s proposal for 50-foot buffer strips be-

tween agricultural production and public waters to filter out phosphorous, nitrogen and sediment became law in 2015. The law also requires 16.5-foot buffer strips along public ditches. Amended in 2016, the law now exempts private ditches. Farmers chafe at “arbitrary� footage requirements applied to “random bodies of water� absent a demonstration that taking certain pieces of land out of production — land whose characteristics they know well — will improve water quality, Boroff said. Farmers are now combing through buffer-protection maps issued by the Department of Natural Resources this month, she said. Many farmers already have buffers, though some don’t, Boroff said. Notillage and minimum-tillage farming practices that stir less soil are growing

more common, along with “side-dressing� that minimizes fertilizer application by using technology to pinpoint where it’s needed, she said. “Nobody’s farming like they did five years ago, even, let alone 20, 30 years ago,� Boroff said. “Their tractor cabs look like the space shuttle. It’s just amazing. They’re using way less fertilizer, way less inputs ... and they’re able to pinpoint just where they’re needed.� How does this year’s crop look? “The crop looks good. The price does not look good,� Boroff said. Farmers “had some really good years, and now they’re going to have some tough ones.�

8A July 29, 2016 SUN THISWEEK - Burnsville - Eagan

County Board District 3: Three seek two spots on November ballot Three candidates are running for the District 3 seat on the Dakota County Board in the Aug. 9 primary election. The top two vote-getters will compete for a four-year term in the November general election. Incumbent Tom Egan is running against challengers Janine Hudson and Scott D. Johnson. Here are the candidates’ responses to a Sun Thisweek and Dakota County Tribune questionnaire.

Thomas A. (Tom) Egan, incumbent Age: 69 Address: 864 Great Oaks Trail, Eagan Occupation: Attorney at Law (currently not practicing) Family: Wife: Betty; Daughter: Shannon Tom Egan (Greg) Herrera; Four Grandchildren Qualifications: Practiced law for 35 years; former mayor (three terms) and Eagan City Council member (three terms); former member of Metropolitan Council; Dakota County Commissioner (three terms) serving two years as chair and three years as vice chair; member Eagan Rotary (past president), former member of Eagan Foundation Board, former president of Caponi Art Park Board and member of numerous other community groups. 1) Why are you seeking a position on the Dakota County Board? The Dakota County Board is an incredibly well functioning board and the envy of most other counties. However, with the recent retirement of County Manager Brandt Richardson and the announced resignation of longstanding Commissioner Nancy Schouweiler, continuity of leadership is vitally important. This is not the time for radical changes. I wish to continue with the steady, pragmatic and fiscally conservative leadership I have demonstrated my entire life. I assume significant credit for how well the Dakota County Board functions. 2) What is the most important issue facing the county? How would you resolve it? While there are many issues facing Dakota County, transportation financing is the most critically important issue we currently face. Getting a long term, comprehensive and sustainable transportation bill passed by the Legislature is paramount. While I serve on the Counties Transportation Improvement Board, I support Dakota County’s decision to withdraw from CTIB. In the long run, withdrawal from CTIB will allow Dako-

ta County taxpayers a more fair return on investment toward our transportation and transit needs and give us greater flexibility in meeting those needs. 3) Assess the current effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the County Board. What can be done to build off what’s been done? What can be changed? The Dakota County Board is incredibly effective. We are the most frugal county in Minnesota with the lowest household tax levy among all 87 counties. We have no debt which means you are not paying for someone else’s prior decisions. We have a AAA bond rating by Moody’s achieved by less than 100 out of the nation’s 3000 counties. Despite our frugality, we continue to meet the needs of our constituents very effectively. However, we live in a very competitive world – including among other units of government. Dakota County must continue to remain on the cutting edge of technology to remain in our current enviable position. 4) Describe the way in which you approached and helped resolve a conflict in which two opposing viewpoints were expressed in a group and a decision needed to be made. Describe the issue and how it was resolved? In my law practice I am a Rule 114 Qualified Neutral which has given me a great deal of experience in dispute resolution. From my experience as mayor of Eagan to the present I have been involved in resolving disputes. Several years ago, the county board was asked to change how the consumer-directed checkbook was used for family members who were guardians for disabled relatives. While I voted against the action on a 6-1 vote, I convinced the board to delay its action and to first hold public meetings on two evenings to hear the views of family members. Both meetings were attended by standing room only crowds of around 200 people each. While the vote did not change, family members better understood why the change was being made and were grateful that their positions were being heard.

Qualifications: I am qualified to be your next county commissioner as I have worked in county government for over 20 years. I understand the needs of the poor and working class. It is the county government’s responsibility to help individuals and families continue to move forward and move up and out of poverty. This movement is not only beneficial for the family but for society as a whole. 1) Why are you seeking a position on the Dakota County Board? I am running for Dakota County commissioner in District 3 as I believe county government is moving in the wrong direction. The current board voted to remove case management from the county and allow nonprofits to provide these needed services. The county will no longer receive federal pass-through funds which are used to pay case managers. This action breaks up unions, harms the citizens who need case management to circumvent the complex governmental system. Many of these citizens are wards of the state or have court-appointed guardians. These are the most helpless citizens. 2) What is the most important issue facing the county? How would you resolve it? During the last session, the County Board failed to listen to their constitutes regarding keeping Dakota County Parks Forever Wild. I moved to Eagan for the wonderful parks and the small town feel near the Twin Cities. My family has lived in Eagan for over 50 years, and losing what makes Eagan great is a price I don’t want my children and grandchildren to pay. The county needs to look at how can we keep and improve our God-given natural resources. 3) Assess the current effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the County Board. What can be done to build off what’s been done? What can be changed?  The county board needs to listen to its citizens. We need to make sure we are caring for our most vulnerable citizens and our vulnerable natural resources. 4) Describe the way in which you approached and helped resolve a conflict in which two opposing viewpoints were expressed in a group and a decision needed Janine Hudson to be made? Describe the issue and how it Age: No answer was resolved? Address: 4070 Rahn Conflict resolution is very important Road, Eagan in government. Leaders need to listen to Occupation: Employed concerns and evaluate whose problem as a human service repis it and who is responsible to find a soresentative for Hennepin lution. I have a child with an IEP. This County child needed to attend summer school at Family: I am a mother Janine Eagan High School, which is four miles of five beautiful children, Hudson from my home. The school district was Jessica, 31; Carl, 30; Jennot going to provide summer school busnifer, 22; David, 19, and James, 14. In ing. As a working mother, I could bring 2015, I was blessed with my first grand- my child to summer school but not home son, Aiden. at lunch time. I addressed this issue with

the School Board. Arrangements were made for me to take my child to school and a bus would take him home. The next school year, busing was provided to all students. It was not that parents didn’t want to drive their students, parents are not always able to do so. As a commissioner, I will listen to the needs and concerns of the citizens.

Scott D. Johnson Age: 53 Address: 4745 Narvik Drive, Eagan Occupation: Insurance agent, flight instructor, business owner, citizen Family: Single Qualifications: I have Scott D. been a business owner, Johnson licensed insurance agent and financial planner since 1988. I have earned degrees in management, human resources and aviation. I teach other insurance agents on regulations, ethics, and the Affordable Care Act. I am an FAA national award winning flight instructor teaching risk management, planning, and aviation safety courses. I am a community service volunteer with the rank of major in the USAF Auxiliary; Civil Air Patrol, and mentor teens on leadership and emergency services. I have served as a commissioner with the Eagan Airport Relations Commission on aviation issues of noise, environment, and business. 1) Why are you seeking a position on the Dakota County Board? I believe that our current elected representatives have lost sight of their first obligation to respect the taxpayers and to not spend our children’s future without merit. The board has not listened to citizens regarding stopping wasteful spending, eminent domain land grabs, and focusing on our needs instead of their wants. I made the decision to run when the county commissioners along with the Metropolitan Council disregarded the will of the citizens in a very condescending manner regarding their desire to pave several parks and build bridges to nowhere that were opposed by the vast majority of the citizens. The lack of accountability was shown in full light when my opponent (three-term Commissioner Tom Egan) voted no on paving Lebanon Hills (after promoting the project hard for two years) and then a week later voting yes on other connected funding of this project (i.e. the zoo bridge and new trail).

County Board District 4: Three seek two spots on November ballot Three candidates are running for the District 4 seat on the Dakota County Board in the Aug. 9 primary election. The top two vote-getters will compete for a four-year term in the November general election. Incumbent Nancy Schouweiler is not running for re-election. In the race are Joe Atkins, Greg Buck and Holly Jenkins. District 4 includes a southeast portion of Eagan, all of Rosemount and a southern portion of Inver Grove Heights. Here are the candidates’ responses to a Sun Thisweek and Dakota County Tribune questionnaire.

Joe Atkins Age: 50 Address: 2463 78th St. E., Inver Grove Heights Occupation: Small business owner, attorney Family: Married 24 years, wife Julia. Three children: John, Tom, and Joe Atkins Katie Qualifications: During my 10 years as mayor of Inver Grove Heights, we reduced our property taxes to the third lowest rates in Minnesota, earning national recognition for building projects and providing services without raising property taxes. As a legislator representing northern Eagan, I set aside partisan bickering to pass more bipartisan laws the past eight years than any other state representative. Named Legislator of the Year by Minnesota’s Nurses, Police, FirefightDISTRICT 3, from 8A 2) What is the most important issue facing the county? How would you resolve it? There is a lack of transparency and accountability in the current leadership of the County Board. Anyone who followed and witnessed the verbal mistreatment and disregard for citizen input and direction on the recent Spring Lake Park eminent domain land confiscation, the destruction of Mississippi River bluffs, the zoo bridge and Lebanon Hills, shows that the career politicians forgot their mission to serve the public. The lack of planning and tremendous cost overruns on recent road projects and bus stations is an-

ers, and American Cancer Society. Juris Doctorate, William Mitchell College of Law. BA, University of Minnesota. Former youth and high school coach. School and church volunteer. Lifelong resident of Dakota County. 1) Why are you seeking a position on the Dakota County Board? I have a successful record of 1) holding the line on property taxes, 2) protecting public safety, 3) communicating well, 4) balancing quality development with preservation of parklands, woodlands and wetlands; and, 5) standing up to the Met Council to preserve our local control over local decisions. I look forward to continuing to do this as a county commissioner. 2) What is the most important issue facing the county? How would you resolve it? Holding the line on property taxes while delivering quality roads, libraries, parks, trails, public safety, and other services is an ongoing top priority, and I have a history of being able to do this as a mayor. The most important current issue, however, is opposing the Met Council’s efforts to impose its will on local decisions. I have consistently and successfully stood up to the Met Council to preserve local control over local decisions. I believe the best decisions are the most local decisions. 3) Assess the current effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the County Board. What can be done to build off what’s been done? What can be changed?  As a lifelong resident and small business owner, I know firsthand that Dakota County is a great place to live, work

other. Design corrections and cost overruns of 30 percent should not be the norm and accepted practice. An aging population, senior health care and social services will take an ever increasing share of the budget. Decisions made now must be beneficial to the taxpayers down the road. We must be creating positive economic development that will provide living wage jobs without needing future government subsidy or higher property taxes. 3) Assess the current effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the County Board. What can be done to build off what’s been done? What can be changed?  The answer is entirely subjective to the beholder.

The board is very effective at disregarding the will of the citizens and spending more money each year on their wants instead of our needs. They are ineffective on planning, prioritizing and protecting our treasure. Are you a taxpayer who wants to see your money spent wisely on needs and priorities that will serve the greater citizenry, or thrown into the wind to build special interest wants like low income Artist Art Colony studio housing developments? Met Council’s 2040 agenda and regional high speed bike trails that look more like a highway than a path? Poorly planned bus stations that require massive rebuilding due to design flow errors?

and raise a family, and I mean to keep it that way. I expect to keep our property tax rates among the lowest in the state, and have a proven record as a mayor of being able to do this. We need to balance quality development with preservation of open space, parkland, woodlands and wetlands. I have consistently and successfully led efforts to strike this balance as a mayor and legislator. I also have consistently and successfully stood up to the Met Council to preserve local control over local decisions. The best decisions are the most local decisions. 4) Describe the way in which you approached and helped resolve a conflict in which two opposing viewpoints were expressed in a group and a decision needed to be made? Describe the issue and how it was resolved? According to data compiled by nonpartisan House research staff, I have passed more bipartisan laws the past eight years than any other state representative. Some examples include laws to safeguard retirement accounts, protect privacy, prevent scams that target Minnesota seniors, provide fairer funding for our schools, help families pay for college, toughen Minnesota’s meth law, remove cancer-causing chemicals from children’s products, improve fire safety, and help police find missing children. For every new law I passed, I also tried to repeal other old and obsolete state laws. While all of the examples above started out with opposition, they eventually passed with overwhelming bipartisan support. The approach that yielded these successes was straightforward: I met with, listened to, and took

Using the concept of Plan, Prioritize, and Protect will go a long way toward restoring the public trust and keeping Dakota County a place that people want to live, work, and grow. 4) Describe the way in which you approached and helped resolve a conflict in which two opposing viewpoints were expressed in a group and a decision needed to be made? Describe the issue and how it was resolved? A good leader will listen to the citizens, ask questions, keep an open mind and learn before making a decision. A good leader will educate and communicate so that there is transparency, understanding, and fairness in all decisions. Not all con-

Dakota County Board Candidates DISTRICT 4, from 9A

What good is being effective at climbing a ladder when the ladder is resting against the wrong wall? In my opinion, the priorities of the board and the transparency and accountability of its activities are more of an issue than its effectiveness. 4) Describe the way in which you approached and helped resolve a conflict in which two opposing viewpoints were expressed in a group and a decision needed to be made? Describe the issue and how it was resolved. I was asked to fix an accounting department because vendors were not being paid on time. It became clear that accounting could not pay vendors because the system would not allow payments to be processed without the proper data in the system from purchasing, receiving and quality control departments. Quantities and prices were often changed on the fly causing problems in receiving, quality control and accounting. Accounting did not know which quantities or prices were right and whether the goods were received or met specs. This prevented the system from paying invoices on time, turning accounting into the bad guys. The fix was to demonstrate to the departments how inter-dependent they were. I assigned someone from each department to learn the other departments’ processes to assess how their department affected the others. Later, we met and reviewed their results and determined, together, how their own business processes needed to change.

$400 million annually, providing services that touch residents’ lives each day, from roads and public safety to parks and libraries and social services. Recently, there have been some controversial issues regarding eminent domain, the character of the parklands and the county’s future development. In the opinion of many, these issues were not handled with appropriate consideration of interested residents. The decision-making process and criteria were not clear and transparent. Many have stated they were not sure whom the board represented, residents or some other entity. That will not be an issue when I am elected. 2) What is the most important issue facing the county? How would you resolve it? When I speak with residents, invariably they are concerned about what is happening to the parklands. Our residents are very protective of the wild nature of our parks. They abhor paved trails and are concerned the parks do not become “overused.� Our parklands are an important issue. I will stand to conserve the “forever wild� nature of those parks. Many residents are uncertain about the breadth of county services and are often surprised at how much the county services affect them. They also are unclear how the county is governed and, more importantly, how they can influence decision-making. It is important for commissioners to reach out to the residents and draw them into the governance of their county. I will establish regular communication with residents via email, a quarterly newsletter and a quarterly listening session in each of the three District 4 cities. 3) Assess the current effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the County Board. What can be done to build off what’s been done? What can be changed? I don’t believe board effectiveness is really an issue. It’s easy to be effective if the public is not paying enough attention to hinder your work. It’s easy to be effective when the real work is being done in “executive session.� There have been instances where this board has been effective at activities like building bridges “from nowhere to nowhere, which will be used by no one� (see the bridge over McAndrews Road at the zoo).

Holly Jenkins Age: 51 Address: 1130 Tiffany Point, Eagan Occupation: Event coordinator and nonprofit founder Holly Family: Husband, Jenkins Jeff; children Sarah, 16, and Sam, 15, ‌ and dog Goldie Qualifications: I have lived in Eagan for 18 years and have an MBA in finance from the U of M’s Carlson School of Management. I worked at Piper Jaffray for many years before turning to the nonprofit sector, and am currently the founder of Wilderness in the City, a 501(c)3 nonprofit. I have been actively engaged in county issues for the past four years, and served on the 2015 Leb-

anon Hills Citizen Advisory Panel. I am on the board of directors for Friends of the Boundary Waters Wilderness, and served for five years on the PTO Board for Northview Elementary. 1) Why are you seeking a position on the Dakota County Board? I love Dakota County, and when my kids are adults, I hope they want to come back here and enjoy a high quality, affordable lifestyle with prosperous job opportunities and great education for their children. For that to happen, the county’s future growth and development must be wise and sustainable, and avoid being overbuilt and underfunded. Decisions made at the local level of government have direct impact on our quality of life, now and in the future. Currently, information is hard to find and we have little influence on decisions being made. I am running because it’s time to bring a new era of transparency and accountability to this invisible layer of government. More than ever, as we enter into a new era of growth and sustainability, we deserve to have a voice in how Dakota County spends our tax dollars. It is after all, our money ‌ our future. 2) What is the most important issue facing the county? How would you resolve it? There is a fundamental disconnect between the general public and the decision makers on county issues. This disconnect happens because information is not readily available, meetings and agendas are off peoples radar, and public input is sought after decisions have been made and has little influence. As a result, decisions are made in an isolated manner by the County Board, staff, Met Council and legislators. The group most often left out of the decision making process is the public, and that is detrimental to our communities. Building a partnership between people and local government will strengthen our communities. On issues that matter most to you – transportation, housing, parks, libraries, health and wellness, public safety – by making information readily available including options and consequences, and engaging in open dialogue, you will have a meaningful opportunity to influence decisions before any vote is made. 3) Assess the current effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the County Board. What can be done to build off what’s been done? What can be changed?

More effective communications will improve the board’s accountability and responsiveness to people, and build a more trusting relationship. Information should be readily available including a schedule of upcoming meetings and agendas. Open forums for discussion between elected officials and the public should be a normal part of business. Public hearings should be scheduled in the evening, rather than during the daytime when many people are at work and cannot participate. Public meetings, including board committee meetings and workshops, should be video recorded so people have opportunity to view at their convenience. The county should better communicate their actual spending. Since 2013, the county’s approved budget has increased from $292 million to $401 million. Where is that going? Is it in line with public priorities? How will current spending impact future property taxes? People deserve to know how the board is spending their money. 4) Describe the way in which you approached and helped resolve a conflict in which two opposing viewpoints were expressed in a group and a decision needed to be made? Describe the issue and how it was resolved. When conflicts arise, it is best to first identify a common goal, and then consider all options and consequences toward achieving that goal. Through a process of open discussion, greater understanding and respect of all sides is recognized, and a solution can be found which everyone can accept and take ownership in. A recent controversy for Lebanon Hills Regional Park was the result of a conflict between the public’s vision and the board’s vision. The board had established goals to increase visitation and improve accessibility – that was the commonly accepted goal. From there, all options to achieve those goals should be considered. How this issue will truly be resolved depends on the board. I am confident that going forward, having a board committed to an open process, conflicts will be resolved and decisions will be made that respect, honor and protect values held by people.

Individualized sports training business opens in Lakeville by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Athletes in all sports from age 8 to the professional level have a new training option in Lakeville. ETS Elite Metro Sports Performance recently opened on Heron Way, offering customized training, based on an individual athlete’s needs and the sports he or she plays. Co-owner Ryan Englebert said each plan is developed by testing the athlete in numerous areas that include linear and lateral speed, lower body power, explosiveness and core strength. ETS training also includes a character development component. Athletes are encouraged to be on time, give their best and overcome adversity. Englebert said he developed the program after he had to overcome his own challenges after a 2003 head-on car crash left him with a dislocated hip, shattered pelvis, broken ribs, ARCHERY, from 1A know he has a business in Burnsville, Schaffer has recently been involved in discussions over possible relocation of the cityowned outdoor archery range near Cliff Road and Interstate 35W to a spot in the Rudy Kraemer Nature Preserve south of Highway 13. Dodge of Burnsville is seeking to buy the current range property for new-car storage. Schaffer said he has no problem with the dealership’s plan but is keen to see the range relocated if the city does sell the land. “We sell thousands of bows here, and most of the people are local,� Schaffer said. “It’s illegal to shoot in your backyard.�

serious knee injury and skull fracture. A college football player who had devoted himself to the sport with dreams of playing in the NFL, Englebert said doctors questioned if he would ever be able to walk again. “I took that as a challenge,� Englebert said. Despite some dark times, he said he believed in himself, and in God and that there was a way to play football again. Three years later, he attended a pro day for the Cincinnati Bengals, had an excellent workout and was invited to camp. “It didn’t last long,� Englebert said. “I actually broke my ankle at camp because I had so many issues with that side of my body from the car accident.� But, the research he had done about performance training, overcoming injuries and what the body needs for recovery helped him develop ETS training systems and in 2010, he and wife Heidi opened

the first training center in Oakdale. That facility is now owned by a performance coach who was there from the start and was interested in going into business for himself. “We like to provide opportunities for people who are loyal,� Englebert said. “They’re doing a great job out in the east metro with our first facility, and we wanted to move on and expand and really bring another layer of what we do to the south metro.� He opened the Lakeville facility with co-owner and Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen, who Englebert said joined because he himself benefitted so greatly from the training. “This will be my fourth off-season with Ryan. I started right before I came into the league and I’ve been with him ever since,� Thielen said. “Ever since I started working with Ryan, we’ve been talking (about going into business together). This always has been a passion of mine, to

help out youth in the community. I think this is a way to help youth become better people and better athletes. It finally was the right timing and we found the right location.� A Detroit Lakes native, Thielen played four sports in high school. He was named All-State in football as a senior and helped Detroit Lakes High School win a state golf championship. Thielen played four seasons at Minnesota State University Mankato. When he graduated (2013), he was second alltime at his school in receptions and third in receiving yardage. This year will be his fourth training camp with the Vikings. He was cut at the end of August in 2013 but signed to the practice squad the next day. He didn’t appear in a game in 2013. The last two years he’s been a special teams player and backup wide receiver. He was Vikings special teams player of the year in 2015. Over the last

two seasons he has 20 receptions for 284 yards and one touchdown. He also returned a blocked punt for a touchdown in a game against Carolina in 2014. Thielen said he’s feeling the best he’s ever felt. “I think a lot of it is a tribute to what Ryan does,� he said. “You can accomplish your goals and dreams if you believe and you are willing to ... commit and if you’re willing to work and overcome,� Englebert said. He said training for ages 8-12 focuses on building a solid fundamental base emphasizing proper mechanics in its “Speed Plus� program. He said athletes learn how to run and work on acceleration, developing top speed and injury prevention. “Doing things fundamentally correct at an early age is ... very, very important for those kids,� Englebert said. Players ages 12 and up enter “Strength Plus� training, with individualized plans Englebert de-

scribed as “totally encompassing,� incorporating weights, specific exercises, mobility, injury avoidance, nutrition education and more. “When people go through a session at our gym, they see very quickly that it’s not all hype,� Englebert said. “It’s focused on results.� Costs range from $100 to $350 per month. All athlete evaluations are starting Aug. 1, and they are running a promotion that the first 11 athletes to register from each age 8 to 18 will be given extra gifts, and be eligible for drawings and workshops with top athletes. “We’re going to maximize every kid’s ability,� Englebert said. “We’re going to pull out of every piece of strength, speed, athleticism that they have within them.� For more information, go to etsperformance.com.

The Burnsville range is his customers’ primary venue, especially with improvements the city has made in the last two years, Schaffer said. “It’s so heavily used that in the fall, we’ll have customers regularly comment that they went down there but couldn’t get an open lane,� he said. “It’s well-used.� Schaffer was also at City Hall in the late ’90s with the Metro Bowhunters Resource Base when officials were working on a plan to manage the local deer herd. “At the time, I remember, they were contracting with a hunting company and it was very expensive,� Schaffer recalled. “We tried to impress upon them

that we had hunters who Sporting Goods store in were willing to do this for Bloomington. nothing.

Concentrating on business, he hasn’t competed in a big tournament since 2003. Among his honors, Schaffer said he’s a twotime Minnesota State Archery Association champion and finished second in the International Bowhunting Organization’s

1997 world competition. “I love everything about the sport,� he said. “I’ve competed. I hunt actively all over North America. And it excites me when other people get involved in that and I and my employees can help them get there. “In this day and age, when so much of our lives are electronic and synthetic, there’s nothing more real than getting out in the woods and sticking an arrow through a live animal and filling your freezer with it.

Sports With coaching situation settled, Eagan football moves on Hanson prepares for first season on Wildcats’ sideline by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

There’s nothing Ben Hanson can gain by looking back, so his priority is preparing for the future. In the spring, Eagan High School’s football coaching search played out like a soap opera. The Wildcats thought they had their coach when former University of Minnesota player Rickey Foggie accepted the job. About 10 days later, he withdrew – under pressure from administrators, he claimed – because of a social media indiscretion. Then, Foggie waged a public campaign to get back the job, but the school decided to hire another candidate. That candidate was Hanson, a former assistant coach at St. Thomas Academy, Bloomington Kennedy and Minnehaha Academy. He took over the Eagan program June 7. What happened before that had nothing to do with him, and he’s not wasting much time thinking about it. “Nothing’s perfect,” Hanson said Tuesday afternoon before one of the Wildcats’ summer workouts. “The unfortunate thing is someone left. When there’s a coaching change, you’re always coming in as someone else is departing. It’s never a great situation unless you’re replacing someone at the end of his career who’s retiring. “The biggest thing for me is focusing on the challenge of coming here in June, getting everything in line and not really focusing on what’s happened in the past. You’ve got to look forward, move forward.” Hanson said he hasn’t talked about the coaching search process with his players, and doesn’t intend to.

We haven’t even discussed what happened on the field last year,” he said. “To me, Day 1, when I got here June 7, was the day we move forward. As far as anything that happened before I got here, it’s not my place to say anything.” The Wildcats, like many football teams in the south metro, are holding a weeklong summer camp this week. The first official day of fall practice is Aug. 15, and Eagan’s first game is at home against Stillwater on Sept. 1. There’s a lot to do, and not much time to do it, especially when you consider that Hanson took the job barely seven weeks ago. “The main part is getting (the players) involved and entrenched with our team motto and core values,” Hanson said. “We want to bring them together as a team and build that foundation now, as we get into camp.” The Wildcats have about 110 players in the program now, a number Hanson would like to see approach 130 by August. There are about 30 seniors on the team. In a PowerPoint presentation he made at a football booster club meeting, Hanson said he wanted to use the zone read scheme

on offense that has become popular in high school and college programs, and has become something even NFL teams use occasionally. It’s not unlike what the Wildcats used under former head coach Rick Sutton. Hanson said he wants to keep things up-tempo, and you might see the Wildcats go with a no-huddle attack. In his presentation, he said he’s likely to use the 4-3 as his base defense. Hanson’s staff needs to teach the offensive and defensive principles to his players in a hurry, but the head coach said he’s used to that. “Our offense and defense have been installed at other programs. The other coaches I’ve brought in with me have been through this scenario before,” Hanson said. “Through those experiences, it’s allowed us to simplify things as much as possible. We know these kids have other things – they have school, other sports, family and friends. Keeping things as simple as possible is not only the best way to learn it, but to retain it.” In many cases, Hanson said, they’re trying to reduce a description to one key word, so a player doesn’t have to spend a lot of time on the field processing information.

Hanson said the digital age helps accelerate learning because players can study on their own. “We use Hudl, PowerPoint and Google Share to get information out to players, so they don’t just have to rely on being here with us,” he said. “When I played 20-some years ago, we were still looking at VHS for film. Everything else was pen to paper, even playbooks. Now, anything we want to get to the kids, with the advent of technology, we can get it to them.” Many of the Eagan players kept up their conditioning even though they didn’t know would coach them. “A lot of these guys did well,” Hanson said. “It’s usually the younger guys you have to watch out for as they’re starting to learn to work out year-round. If you look at the leadership group of juniors and seniors, we have a lot of multi-sport athletes, which I think is great. “The aspect of staying in shape is kind of ingrained in the kids in general. It’s more a matter of nurturing it rather than introducing it.” After they get ready to play, the Wildcats’ biggest challenge may be competing in their subdistrict, which has three teams

Before Alex Uloth became the Minnesota State Amateur champion he was “little Alex,” a range rat at Crystal Lake Golf Course in Lakeville. It was on the practice tee at Crystal Lake that teaching professional Sheryl Maize helped Uloth hone his game, starting when he was 9 years old, or “back when he was shorter than me,” Maize said. Uloth, a five-time letter-winner at Burnsville High School and the South Suburban Conference boys golf medalist in 2012, was not regarded as one of the favorites in last week’s State Amateur at North Oaks Golf Club. But he made people notice with a 63 in the first round July 18, tying a tournament record. Two days later he won the 113th State Amateur – and perhaps became the first to do it with an eagle on the final hole to win by one stroke. One of the people least surprised by Uloth’s victory was his instructor. “I don’t want to sound arrogant, but I’ve been waiting for him to break through and play like this on a bigger stage,” Maize said. Maize was not able to watch Uloth’s final round in person because she was

giving lessons at Crystal Lake. Not long after the tournament ended, Uloth showed up at Crystal Lake with the State Amateur trophy in tow, startling his instructor. “He said, ‘Yeah, this is the first place I came,’ ” Maize said. “Of course, I had to have some photos with Alex and the trophy. I was crying. He probably won’t want to admit it, but I think he was crying, too.” Uloth had some struggles in the final round – at one point he made backto-back double bogeys as his four-shot lead disappeared– but sank a 30-foot eagle putt on the par-5 18th hole at North Oaks to finish one stroke ahead of University of Minnesota golfer Riley Johnson. “This gives me some confidence in my game and also going forward to next year. I’ve been working really hard to get more consistent and put myself in position and I knew that I could do this,” he told the Minnesota Golf Association. “I’m relieved to be done – it was a pretty stressful week.” Uloth said following the final round he didn’t know if he needed to make the eagle putt to win. “If he knew he needed birdie to win, I think he still would have tried to make the putt for eagle,” Maize said. Over three rounds, Uloth made 15 birdies and two eagles. He had seven birdies and an eagle in his first-round 63. The ability to make birdies in bunches always has been one of

(Rosemount, Lakeville North and Lakeville South) that have played in the prep bowl in the last decade. Before district football was introduced, Eagan played rugged schedules in the South Suburban and Lake Conferences. Sutton came to Eagan in 2006 having won state championships in his previous stop at Mankato West, but his Wildcat teams had two winning seasons in 10 years (both 6-5). That speaks to the competition the Wildcats faced, and will continue to face. “There’s a lot of good competition, a lot of good coaches in this district,” Hanson said. “We have coaches with experience in the district that we’re bringing in or are already on staff. We’re very familiar with our opponents.” Hanson’s staff includes Dick Weinberger, a former head coach at De La Salle and Bloomington Kennedy. He will be the Wildcats’ offensive line coach and running game coordinator. Offensive coordinator Chris Black and defensive coordinator George Ashfield are new

to the Eagan program, but the staff has a number of other assistant coaches who work at Eagan High School. That’s important because Hanson won’t be in the building much during the day; he will be an English teacher in the Shakopee district for the 2016-17 school year. Hanson said he’s hoping he can be brought on staff in District 196 by the fall of 2017. Hanson said the infrastructure is in place for Eagan to win. “They’ve always had talent. We competed against Eagan back when some of us were coaching at Bloomington Kennedy,” Hanson said. “They had the two Zenner brothers (Zach, currently with the Detroit Lions, and Sam, who’s playing at South Dakota State) come through, and they’ve had other really good players. “The talent is there, and right now there are more than 2,400 students in this building. This definitely is a challenge worth taking on.” Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

Burnsville 2nd in sub-state playoffs by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Minnesota State Amateur champion Alex Uloth brought the trophy to Crystal Lake Golf Course last week to show to his instructor, Sheryl Maize. Uloth is a 2014 graduate of Burnsville High School. (Photo submitted) Uloth’s strengths, said Maize, who recalled him birdieing almost half of his holes in a Minnesota Junior PGA match-play event a few years back. One thing that always stood out with Uloth was “he’s a really good athlete,” Maize said. “He was a great baseball pitcher and a very competitive downhill skier. “When he had his growth spurt it caused some timing problems, which I knew would happen,” Maize said. “He started hitting the ball a long way, and we just tried to rein that in a little. We also spent a lot of time working on his short game and putting, and those are a couple of his strong points today.” Uloth had one day to rest before teeing it up in the Minnesota State Open last weekend at Bunker Hills in Coon Rapids. After shooting 74 in the first round last Friday, he had a

68 on Sunday (Saturday’s scheduled second round was rained out) to tie for 15th place. His 68 tied for the second-best score of the final round; the only lower score was a 64 by Ben Greve, who went on to win the tournament. A 2014 Burnsville High School graduate, Uloth is looking for a place to play in college this fall. He played two seasons at Concordia-St. Paul (where Maize is an assistant coach) but recently asked for and received his release from the school. But he always will be a Crystal Lake player. The reception there was “incredible, as you can imagine,” Maize said. “It’s such a great source of pride to have the State Amateur champion come from your club.” Email Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

One local team qualified for the state American Legion baseball tournament as Eastview advanced by winning the Sub-State 6 championship Sunday in Prior Lake. The Thunder defeated Northfield 6-2 in the championship game to earn its place in the state tournament that begins Friday in Delano, Loretto and Maple Lake. Eastview plays SubState 9 champion Champlin Park in the first round of the doubleelimination state tournament at 10 a.m. Friday in Maple Lake. The tournament runs through Monday, with the championship game scheduled for 1 p.m. in Delano. The state champion and runner-up will qualify for regional tournaments. Eastview was 4-1 in the Sub-State 6 tourney, defeating Red Wing 6-3, Northfield 1-0 and East Ridge 4-3. Eagan defeated Eastview 15-14 on Saturday night, which left three teams still alive in the tournament. Northfield beat Eagan in an elimination game Sunday to advance to face Eastview in the final. Eagan, which entered the tournament as the No. 1 seed, went 3-2. Lakeville North Red also played in the Sub-State 6 tourney and went 1-2.

In Sub-State 5, Woodbury Blue edged Burnsville 8-7 in Monday’s championship game at Alimagnet Park. Woodbury Blue led 8-4 going into the seventh and had to survive a three-run Burnsville rally. Brendan Larsen and Noah Robb each had three hits for Burnsville in the championship game. The Cobras defeated Rosemount 18-8 in an elimination game Sunday, taking the lead with a nine-run sixth inning. Robb and Henry Ristvedt had four hits each for Burnsville, and Jordan Hardee had three hits for Rosemount. Burnsville was 4-2 in the sub-state tourney. Rosemount went 3-2.

New AVHS AD Virgil Jones, an administrator at Rosemount High School since 2013, has been named assistant principal and athletics director at Apple Valley High School. Jones was dean of students and ninth grade coordinator at Rosemount. He will replace Pete Buesgens, who recently became assistant principal for curriculum and student services at Apple Valley. Buesgens had been athletics director at Apple Valley for eight years. Before that, he was a teacher and coach at the school.

Apple Valley writer set for premiere of his debut play by Andrew Miller

ally bring them to life. We have a fantastic group of actors who seem to have grasped the essence of their characters. Step Three: Have an experienced director who can put the story together on the stage. We have a professional director/ actress (Robin Johnson) who has been directing plays in the Twin Cities for many years. Step Four: Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse until the cast and crew operate as one. Rehearsals have been going great and there is an excitement in the air among the cast and crew. There is going to be a “Riot� at the Steeple Center and I think our audience is going to love it. Q: What are you working on now? Any other book or play projects in the works? A: My editor is just finishing up the editing of “Debris,� which is my trilogy centered in Palm Springs, California. I describe the series this way: “Palm Springs is haunted by the rich, the famous and the broken. This is their story.� “Debris� will be out by this September in print and as an e-book. I have a suspense thriller novel, now in treatment form, that I am anxious to get out of my head and on paper. I have treatments for five new plays that I am currently fleshing out and will select one or two to write this fall, with the goal of having them produced this winter or next summer.

SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Apple Valley writer Denis J. LaComb is venturing into new literary territory with “Riot at Sage Corner.� LaComb, who started writing full time a few years ago while on the cusp of retirement from his video production business, has authored several novels, including the “Apache Death Wind� trilogy of Western fiction. “Riot at Sage Corner� marks LaComb’s debut as a playwright. The play, which will be staged by the Rosemount Area Arts Council’s senior theater group Aug. 25-26 at Rosemount’s Steeple Center, is set at a seniorliving community and follows a free-spirited aging hippie named Sage and her run-ins with the community’s self-appointed rule-enforcer. LaComb said the play is his attempt to examine the aging process from the perspective of individuals living it. “Many of us who lived through the ‘60s and are at ‘that age’ have a wealth of life experiences to draw upon,� he said. “We don’t intend to stop exploring our lives and what the aging process means to us. For most, it is radically different from other generations who accepted the ‘long slow slide of aging’ as inevitable. In the case of Sage, she is going to deal with the aging process in her own way.� This newspaper spoke with LaComb recently about the writing process

Denis J. LaComb behind “Riot at Sage Corner,� the inspiration for the character Sage, and whether or not playwrights, like some actors, get butterflies in their stomachs before a production opens. Q: You’ve published a number of novels, but “Riot at Sage Corner� is your first play. What prompted you to tackle writing a play? A: The readers of my novels have always complimented me on the dialogue in them. After several asked if I wrote plays, I started listening to what they were saying. Now I’ve written several plays and screenplays. “Riot at Sage Corner� provided me a real-life scenario to examine, and thanks to the Rosemount Area Arts Council, a venue in which to bring my story to life. Q: The character Sage is an aging hippie in a senior-living facility who bristles at the rigid rules and is given to disruptive antics. Is there a real-life inspiration for Sage? A: Sage is a composite of many of the strong women I knew back in the

‘60s. She is strong-willed, but has a sense of humor. She is compassionate, but has her own problems to worry about. Like most of us, Sage is a complex person to understand. Q: You’ve mentioned on your blog (denisjlacomb.blogspot.com) that there was a “lava lamp of images swirling in my head� as the story that became “Riot at Sage Corner� was taking shape. What was the writing process like for the play? What’s the secret to turning an amorphous mass of thoughts into a coherent narrative? A: I use writing software called Final Draft 9. This allows me to write dialogue quickly and efficiently — with the proper spacing, titling, etc. Therefore I am able to imagine a scene happening, on stage, and then to very quickly write down and capture what my characters are saying.

I go over their words, sentences and paragraphs many times afterwards, but only to refine what’s been spoken and not change the heart of what they’ve said. The secret, quite simply, is to capture those images and voices in your head as quickly as you can. Q: What are the challenges associated with writing a play compared with writing a novel? A: Even though we’ve just entered the rehearsal stage of the play production, I am struck by the importance of the words spoken. Dialogue must deliver. It must define, examine, explain and lay out for the audience who these characters are and the motivations behind their actions. I’ve found that it can be deceiving to read your own dialogue and think that it speaks to an audience. Readings of your play by individuals who

are coming to it cold is a critically important means to examine the written word — and give its author a chance to improve upon it. Q: With the premiere of your play set for next month, what’s your mindset? Do playwrights, like some actors, get butterflies in their stomachs as opening night nears? A: Trust me, the butterflies are starting to fly faster and faster in the pit of my stomach. Any parent will understand that writing a play or novel is like giving birth. Now the play is about to grow up and as a parent I am still worried. However, I think I have tried to follow a process to help keep my stress to minimum levels. Step One: Have a great story to tell. I think I do that with “Riot at Sage Corner.� Step Two: Get the right actors to play certain char- Email Andrew Miller at acters so that they can re- andrew.miller@ecm-inc.com.

FORUM, from 1A Dahling agreed that early childhood programs are an important tool to help all students prepare for school. He added if elected, he would also explore changes to English as a second language classes to separate children by level of proficiency instead of grouping students with different proficiency levels into one class. Millea noted that much of the increasing diversity in District 196 and neighboring districts is composed of immigrants whose first language is not English. Millea said he believes strengthening ESL classes is key to helping these students succeed. Isaacs pointed to early intervention and ensuring there is diversity among teachers and administrators as ways to address the needs of an increasing diverse student population. “It starts with leadership,� Isaacs said. “Children want to be able to look up to adults that relate to them and their background.� Angrimson pointed to literacy collaborative initiatives, which provide early intervention for students who struggle to read, as the best way to ensure all students are meeting their education goals. When asked how the district can address the achievement gap while maintaining other pro-

gramming, such as the gifted and talent program, Atherley said he will ensure funds are dedicated to both programs. He said he believes family involvement is a major component to closing the achievement gap. Millea said he plans to ensure all students are challenged by their academics and reach their full potential. Brekken said she believes the district is already making strides in both these areas and will work to continue this progress. Dahling pointed to space and funding constraints as a challenge to providing and expanding gifted and talented programs. “The gifted and talent program often doesn’t have the space to accommodate all of those who should be there,� he said. “Our hands are tied by state mandates and funding.� Angrimson and Isaacs said they will work to ensure all children are meeting their full potential and plan to research whether gifted and talented programs are struggling and how to resolve the issue. When asked about their position on the Minnesota basic skills standards, all candidates agreed that basic skills evaluations are important but that one test alone doesn’t accurately measure a student’s performance.

The candidates took slightly different approaches on whether the district should implement later start times for high school students. Atherley, a large proponent of later start times noted that studies have shown better academic performance among students who begin class later in the morning. “It allows students to get better rest and better in sync with their sleep cycles,� he said. “It works for other districts, not just locally, but across the country.� Brekken said she supports the concept of later start times for high school students but that the board must consider other factors, such as transportation and after school activities, before implementing the change. “It’s a good idea, but we need to be careful,� she said. Dahling, Millea and Isaacs agreed with Brekken, adding that district officials must consider the cost and whether such a change would potentially affect elementary students. “The benefit of a few can’t be at the detriment of others. I trust that the (current) board has looked at the big picture,� Isaacs said. The current School Board has in recent years voted against changing start times. Angrimson said he believes that if, elected, he would be able to find a

solution that would enable the district to implement early start times for high school students while mitigating negative impacts on other grade levels. When asked their opinion of the district’s financial management, Brekken said she believes the district has been prudent with its finances. Acknowledging that District 196 has previously borrowed from its general fund balance to stay in the black, Brekken said that this is due to unexpected expenditures and inadequately funded mandates. She also noted that last year, the district added to its general fund balance. Angrimson agreed, saying that “dipping into resources is a necessary evil to keep the district as one of the best districts.� When examining the $30 million tax levy referendum voters passed in 2013, Brekken said she believes the money has been put to good use and that the board “doesn’t ask for levies lightly.� Isaacs and Millea said they supported the levy because it funds improvements to aging infrastructure and technology, which they say will help the district become a world-class district. Atherley said he supports the funding to improve buildings in the district, but said the funding of new technology should be examined.

Candidates to speak at GOP women’s breakfast Fifteen candidates for state or local office are expected to give their views on key issues and get feedback from Metro Republican Women members at the group’s Aug. 13 breakfast meeting in Mendota Heights. The president of the Minnesota Federation of Republican Women, Pam Myhra of Burnsville, will provide a statewide perspective and an update

on federation activities at the Saturday morning session at Mendakota Country Club. Candidates presenting at this gathering of veteran political activists and observers will receive feedback on both policies and persuasion from the group and have an opportunity to attract support. Myhra, who served in the Minnesota House of

Representatives for four years, will talk about the political outlook in the state and the growth of the federation. She will also present awards to the most active volunteers over the past two years. The Aug. 13 event begins with registration at 8:30 a.m., a buffet breakfast at 8:45 and the program at 9 at Mendakota Country Club, 2075 Men-

dakota Drive in Mendota Heights. The cost is $18 for members, $20 for nonmembers and $10 for students. Walk-ins are welcome, but reservations are encouraged. Those interested may go to metrogopwomen.org to pay online or to make a reservation and pay at the door. Reservations are requested by Tuesday, Aug. 9.

Dahling had a more critical look at the district’s financial management, saying he has “an issue� with the district borrowing from its reserves and plans to look into the “huge� levy referendum. When asked whether they support pay for performance measures for teachers, all the candidates said they support some form of performance pay but cautioned against tying teacher performance to test scores alone. “We need to look at many sets of factors,� Isaacs said. “Only after we feel we have accomplished an equitable way to measure performance should we implement pay for performance.� Millea agreed and added that pay for performance needs to not only be a way to evaluate existing teachers, but an incentive when recruiting teachers. Angrimson said he believes the state’s Quality Compensation Law, also known as Q-Comp, is an effective measure of performance. The law was passed in 2005 and provides additional funding to Minnesota school districts that chose to participate in the program which supports alternative teacher compensation based on performance and professional development opportunities. When considering Gov. Dayton’s proposal to pro-

vide free all-day early childhood education programs in all Minnesota school districts, the District 196 candidates said they will support all-day pre-K programming only if it is adequate funding by the state. Isaacs said he believes early childhood education is important for many children succeed but not required for all and that young children also learn from free play. He also expressed concerns that if the Legislature were to pass such a requirement whether it would be adequately funded. “You can’t have an unfunded initiative,� he said. “You can’t look at a school board and say it’s your problem, deal with it.� Atherley, Angrimson, Brekken, Millea and Dahling agreed, saying they are concerned District 196 doesn’t have the financial resources or space to provide all-day pre-K. Additionally, Millea noted that early childhood programming already exists for those who need it. “It’s important to give kids a head start, which is why we have the Head Start program,� Millea said. “For some kids, it may not be necessary, but for others it’s vital.� Jessica Harper is at jessica. harper@ecm-inc.com or facebook.com/sunthisweek.
