A massage therapist in Burnsville was denied renewal of her individual license Aug. 22 and denied a separate license naming her the owner of her business, Burnsville Bodyworks. The City Council voted 4-1 to deny Yuanping Huang renewal of her therapeutic massage license and to deny her request for an enterprise massage license to operate the business at 2929 Cliff Road E. The city notified Huang in April it wouldn’t renew her license after learning she was twice denied massage and bodywork licenses in Minneapolis. Burnsville’s massage therapy ordinance allows the city to deny a license if the applicant has had a license denial or revocation in another city or state in the last five years. Huang appealed the decision, triggering appointment of an administrative appeal panel. The

Chief Waukanojan-jan was a Dakota leader by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

With recent discussions surrounding historical statues, one forgotten memorial in Dakota County could be put back up. Joe Atkins, Dakota County Commissioner in District 4, hopes Chief Waukan-ojan-jan’s monument will be reinstalled next summer near its original location after 26 years in storage. The Dakota County Commission applied grant money from the Minnesota Legacy Fund to revive a monument honoring Chief Medicine Bottle/ Waukan-ojan-jan, who was also known a “Spirit Light� or “Holy Light,� at its original location northeast of the Highway 52/55 intersection in Pine Bend on the boarder of Inver Grove Heights and Rosemount.

There are plans to reinstall a monument honoring Chief Medicine Bottle a/k/a Waukan-ojan-jan (“Spirit Light�) along Highway 52/55 near the Rosemount-Inver Grove border next summer. As the leader of the Dakota village at Pine Bend, dating back to 1838, he welcomed the earliest settlers to Dakota County in the 1840s. His monument was constructed a century later by the National Youth Administration and Pine Bend 4-H Club. It was so highly regarded that it was considered eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, until it was removed in 1991 during construction of the 117th Street bridge.

“I remember it as a kid,� Atkins said. “I remember seeing it whenever we drove by and my dad would sometimes stop to look at it.� The chief was a leader and medicine man of a Mdewakanton band of a Dakota at Pine Bend in the early 1800s. He earned the name Chief Medicine Bottle by early settlers of Rosemount because he wore a small medicine bottle around his neck. A monument was constructed by the National Youth Administration and Pine Bend 4-H club in mid 1940s, but when the 117th Street bridge was being reconstructed in 1991, it was moved, according to Atkins. “That’s when the mystery began,� Atkins said. “I don’t know who’s responsibility it was to put it back up, but it was never put back up.� So Atkins went looking for the monument in 2015. He’s currently the District 4 commissioner,

Upgrading the skate park in Eagan is on hold. Eagan officials want to do it right, and weren’t confident that was going to happen in 2017. When the project went out for bids, the city received one offer. The price

tag was almost 22 percent higher than estimates and the timeline would have allowed a new park to open just a few weeks, at most, before it closed for winter. So, officials decided to reject the bid. “(The timeline) was a little bit optimistic,� said Andrew Pimental, Eagan parks and recreation director. “The biggest part of the delay, once we got

into the engagement part of the project, was that we decided to move away from the modular design to an all-concrete park.� Understanding that fall is not a good time to bid for a project, the city gave it a shot anyway. “You never know if you catch the right company,� Pimental said. Concrete cures a little better in the spring anyway, Pimental said.

Pimental worked with several high school students on the project. He said while they were initially disappointed, “the fact that we listened to them and went away from the modular to concrete, I think they’re happy we decided to build a park we’ll be proud to have.� City officials believe rebidding this winter will attract a better timeline and price.

Most of the companies that build concrete skate parks are located on the west and east coasts, so that makes it more challenging to draw attractive bids to Minnesota. A new park could open in time for summer break in 2018. It mostly depends on the weather, as long as the city receives competitive See PARK, 17A

District 196 undergoes technological makeover Updated technology improves communication, learning by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

As Sept. 5, the first day of school, fast approaches, the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District is putting the final touches on a technological makeover and rebranding campaign. On Wednesday, Aug. 23, District 196 launched a new website. Communications Director Tony Taschner said the WordPressbased site is designed for the people who use it the most: parents and students. The site is mobileresponsive and aims to make commonly searched information easy to find. Each individual school will continue to run its own website. All schools have been asked, however, to format their websites in a way that will bring

uniformity and cohesion to the district’s online presence. The district has recommended consistent standards for features such as navigation and quick links. Although the district site has been designed to streamline everyday use, the site may have seemed slow for at-home users this week as it was undergoing maintenance and testing through Thursday, Aug. 24. The district promised to send an alert when the site had been tested and become fully functional. The new website is not the only technological change. In July, the district switched over to a new student information system called Synergy Education Platform. The new system includes a parent portal that allows parents to create an account, log in and update their own contact information. Parents can also access the meal accounts, grades and FeePay accounts for their students through the portal. The district simplified

the transition by simultaneously switching to a new alert system called SchoolMessenger. Converting to both new systems at the same time allowed for one cohesive data upload. “We are providing a system that meets increasing expectations by parents to get information quickly,� Taschner said. “We are dealing with people’s kids, and there is nothing more precious than that.� He said the new system will help improve communication between parents and administrators. “If there is information that you need to have as a parent, we will provide that when we have solid information,� he said. “The notification system gives us that ability to very quickly send phone calls to as many parents as we need to.� In addition to all the technological advancements outside the classroom, the district is bringing new technology inside the classroom. This is the second year of a three-

year implementation plan to provide a technological device to every student in grades four through 12. Students in grades 10, 11 and 12 will receive an iPad this year. The devices are available to students at no cost, and are funded by the November 2015 referendum. This distribution is a continuation of last year’s provisions for students in grades seven, eight and nine. “We’ve implemented in a smart way,� Taschner said. “We had the vision for one-to-one access, and we looked at what would be the most effective way to implement it.� Taschner said students use iPads as a learning tool, just as they use other learning tools such as pencils or notebooks. The teacher manages the use of the device so that the students can enrich their education rather than distract themselves. Taschner said that through this process, students are learning how to be good digital citizens.

“Education is changing. The teacher isn’t standing at the front of the room all the time anymore. Now, much more, it is small groups of people working together, and the teacher goes around and works with those groups,� he said. Taschner said that while technology can help with the modern classroom structure, it can also be intimidating or uncomfortable for teachers who are unfamiliar with the devices and their programs. Training and support from other teachers has helped make implementation successful across the board. Communication changes will extend beyond the cybersphere to the printed page. Taschner confirmed that the district newsletter, which is printed and sent to every home, is also undergoing an update. Additionally, District 196 has developed a new logo that aims to symbolically unify all of its individual schools. Taschner said the logo is finalized and will be revealed at

a picnic for District 196 staff on Tuesday, Aug. 29, at Eastview High School. Although many of the summer projects are wrapping up, Taschner says there is still work to be done on strategic communication. As the district works to improve its communication with parents and students, it is exploring options to share information with people who may be excluded. The district is looking at ways it can improve its services for non-English speakers. Although the district does provide interpreters when necessary, it rarely provides translation. To best reach all parents, translation of documents, website material, newsletters and other mass communication is becoming a priority. Taschner said that with more than 100 languages spoken across the district, the focus languages will most likely be Spanish and Somali. Contact Amy Mihelich at amy.mihelich@ecm-inc.com.

The nine years I have spent on the school board have been both challenging and extraordinarily rewarding. Our board operates at a very high level and works well together to address Art Counson the issues and challenges of overseeing the state’s

Opinion Job market strong, but too much potential is untapped Job statistics can be mercurial, especially the more often you measure them. One month’s job-loss chill can be followed by a white-hot month of gains. But the overall trajectory in Minnesota is unmistakable — this state is wide open for business. In the eight years since the Great Recession officially ended, Minnesota has added 314,261 jobs, an 11.7 percent increase that matches the national rate, according to the state’s Department of Employment and Economic Development. A seasonally adjusted gain of 4,400 jobs in June pushed the labor market to new heights. In part because of a weak report last June, year-over-year job gains totaled 77,478, or 2.6 percent — the largest gain since May 1998, at a growth rate not seen in nearly six years. Minnesota’s unemployment rate is 3.7 percent, below the nation’s 4.4 percent, and its share of employment among the working-age population is at its highest level since January 2009, DEED reported last month. Many people in Koochiching and Itasca counties have reason to worry about their prospects, with unemployment rates of 7.8 percent and 6.9 percent, respectively. They’re a far cry from the 2.7 percent in Eden Prairie and Roches-

ECM Editorial This is the fourth installment in an editorial series called The Changing Face of Minnesota. This year, the ECM Publishers Editorial Board is examining demographic changes and disparities in Minnesota that center around race, wealth, age, region and employment. ter or the 2.5 in Northfield. Regional disparities are often affected by plant closings in smaller communities or the vicissitudes of industries such as mining and timber, whose booms and busts are facts of life in northern Minnesota. Seemingly as predictable, and more statistically significant, is the nagging problem of underdeveloped human capital in Minnesota’s minority communities. Despite June’s excellent job gains, racial employment disparities actually rose slightly, DEED reported. Black Minnesotans’ unemployment rate rose from 8.1 percent in April and May to 8.4 percent. Hispanic unemployment rose from 5.3 percent to 5.5 percent. White unemployment held steady at 3.1 percent.

The Twin Cities metro area has the highest proportion of working adults among the nation’s 25 largest metro regions. But 13 percentage points separate the share of working non-Hispanic whites from that of people of color, reports the Itasca Project, a business-led civic alliance. The gap ranks the Twin Cities near the bottom of the 25 metro areas. Gaps in employment and income persist even when education is considered. Unemployment among black high school graduates is three times higher than among white high school graduates, the Itasca Project says. Among blacks with bachelor’s degrees or higher, the unemployment rate is double that of whites with similar education. Growth in the Twin Cities labor force absorbed the post-recession job demands but is projected to slow in the next decade as the population ages. Though it would have seemed unthinkable eight years ago, employers and state officials are now grasping for ways to fill jobs in an ever-tightening labor market. To capture and retain workers at a time when the region’s diversity is growing, DEED advises employers to lower barriers impeding nonwhite workers and other populations, including the dis-

abled, youth and people with less education. Schools, both high schools and secondary, should sharpen their focus on career-aware counseling and programs. An example is the new career Pathways program at Burnsville High School, which clusters coursework into strands that allow students to explore professional fields and even begin credentialing work. Too many minorities with post-secondary degrees, particularly blacks, wind up in temporary jobs or other low-wage work, which depresses their earnings as a group. But when blacks are able to find jobs in industries related to their majors, wage disparities disappear, according to DEED. People of color comprise 24 percent of the Twin Cities region’s working-age population; their ranks are projected to grow to 50 percent by 2050. Without a virtuous cycle of inclusive education, training, recruitment, employment and advancement, Minnesota’s economy will fall short of its potential. This is an opinion of the ECM Editorial Board. Sun Thisweek and the Dakota County Tribune are part of ECM Publishers Inc.

Free, fantastic publication for families, students and educators by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Minnesota families looking for something creative, challenging and fun for their children have a free, terrific resource: this year’s edition of “Reach for the Stars.” This is a catalogue of, as the publishers put it, “More than 100 academic programs, challenges, competitions, events and enrichment activities for Minnesota K-12 students.” The booklet also is a great guide for educators who want to help students explore, deepen or expand their interests. You can download and/or order free copies at http://bit.ly/2vjhnCJ Whether a young person is interested in agriculture, art, business, current events, duck stamps, fuel efficient vehicles, government, languages, LEGO,

math, mock trials, music, philosophy, the stock market, writing, or dozens of other areas, this booklet describes programs that will provide enrichment, challenge and in some cases, competition. Some of the programs are free, and some have a modest fee. Some are open to individuals, while others involve teams. “Reach for the Stars” is produced by the Synergy & Leadership Exchange, based in North Mankato. Lifetouch

Photography sponsors the colorful, 60page booklet. Barb Bergseth, of the Synergy & Leadership Exchange, told me that the booklet has been published for “nearly 30 years.” Bergseth sent an email explaining that Zona Sharp Burke, former executive director of Minnesota Academic Excellence Foundation, told her “it started out as a poster of academic enrichment activities. … The Reach for the Stars theme was selected for its dual meanings: for educators to find and reach their star students and for these students to aim high, to reach for the stars. When MAEF was disbanded, Synergy & Leadership Exchange (formerly known as the Center for Academic Excellence) took over producing Reach for the Stars.” “Reach for the Stars” is a wonder-

ful example of educator, community and business collaboration. I’ve written about previous editions but the current one is even more “user friendly” than previous publications. It’s easy to find programs geared to young people of various ages, with particular interests. The Synergy & Leadership Exchange will send free copies of the booklet to families and to educators. Looking through “Reach for the Stars” and helping a young person pick one or two activities to check out seems like a great way to start a new school year.

Letters Make it ‘were,’ not ‘was,’ in front-page message To the editor: Many thanks to the Minnesota Newspaper Association for increasing our appreciation of the localized press. Many newspapers, including Sun Thisweek in Burnsville/Eagan, used a mostly blank first page in last week’s edition. However, in its one sentence on this mostly blank first page, the newspaper made a glaring grammar gaffe that has sent shock waves throughout the metropolis, even to the point of causing many of my former Burnsville High School students to be hospitalized for subjunctive-mood trauma. It seems that using “were” instead of “was” in a hypothetical thought after the word “if ” would be a wholly insignificant concern — a triviality only a nerd like me would notice.

Apparently, insignificance is not the case here. Already, nearby communities such as Bloomington have broken off diplomatic relations with Burnsville, and not a single one of my former Burnsville students has been released from the subjunctive-mood trauma ward. Therefore, to make this a better world and prevent further socio-linguistic tsunamis, I ask that our local Sun Thisweek staff do the right thing: Breathe in deeply, take long strides, and, in your next issue, print a front-page correction for this egregious error. DON GERLACH Burnsville

The best part of my day

A free press is not only guaranteed in our Constitution, it is a hallmark of a democratic republic — our Republic. The newspaper is the finest form of reporting to subscribers and citizens the current news of our time. Reporting is held at a higher standard for fact checking, and solid journalism. The feel of a paper in your hands, physically turning pages and reading the news rather than watching the news is for me one of the highlights of my day. In newsprint one can find not only bad news, but also news that can help improve quality of life through community calendars, tips and tricks for healthy living and games. Thank you again for being my local paper who brings me the news in 140 characters or more. You made my day with the cover!

To the editor: Last week’s newspaper cover of “Imagine” JUDY SANTIAGO was well timed, well said, Burnsville much needed and most of all well done!

Unique coverage offered To the editor: The blank front page of last week’s issue was a novel idea. The caption for our consideration, “Imagine If There Was No Newspaper,” was consistent with the editorial theme expressed by guest contributors. There might have been a more effective caption that better reflects the current trend in news in general, and newspapers specifically. The caption on the otherwise blank front page could have read “ Imagine If There Was No News Worth Printing.” The typical 1/2 hour newscast by local TV stations is usually composed a hot breaking news item, then advertisements taking up almost half the allotted time. The remaining time is almost always filled with a grossly expanded weather report, and a sports section that simply amounts to free advertising for professional sports. Any left over time is filled with trivial sound bits. The reality is that there usually is about 10 minutes or less of “news.” The major local newspapers provide a similar experience daily with half the paper composed of advertisements and fill-ins from police and accident reports. There is always a whole section devoted to professional sports with details that I suspect the vast majority of readers could care less about. Again this amounts to free advertisements for the NFL, MLB, and other pro sports. Often major editorials are borrowed from columnists for major New York or Washington newspapers which have little sensitivity for the mood or attitudes of Minnesota readers. Rarely, is there any news or items of local community interest. This bring us to Sun Thisweek and the Dakota

County Tribune publications. Here, we are uniquely presented with a newspaper that is designed to focus on bringing community news to readers. We have the unique opportunity to read about items that truly affect readers. Here is where information is news, not a rehash sensationalized events or a continuous repeat of biased national political arguments (admittedly the Letters to the Editor section is usually very biased). The local publication fills a significant gap in news coverage by being the only press that lets us see our local community. Thanks for your unique coverage. MIKE GERKIN Apple Valley

Regarding the Whiteout campaign To the editor: Last week’s Whiteout campaign and the accompanying three columns from our U.S senator and two longtime media professionals was a very sad indictment regarding the state of affairs within our media in the United States. What was particularly troubling was the letter from our Sen. Amy Klobuchar, regarding today’s media environment. It was headlined “Supporting a free press.” I wish the senator’s headline would have read “Supporting a truthful press.” But instead Klobuchar as well as the other two contributors almost totally ignored the state of today’s press that has been caught publishing multiple articles that have had to be retracted and we saw testimony from an FBI director admitting how easy it was for him to “plant” information through a friend that he knew today’s press would run with very little study or background. In conclusion, it was

very sad to see this Whiteout campaign and a U.S senator almost totally ignore the ramifications of having a dishonest press (on both sides) that we see today. I ask the senator: What good is a free press if we can’t believe it, and if its goals are to “make” the news for its own purposes and not to honestly report it like your father did? MIKE McGRAW Rosemount

Lewis should read the Constitution To the editor: What is the First Amendment to the Constitution? Amendment I. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. On Aug. 8, 2nd District constituents visited U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis’ district office respectfully asking for a town hall. Requests made in writing, office visits, letters, tweets, Facebook messages, phone calls, town halls scheduled for Lewis are unanswered. In a post on his campaign Facebook page, again he refuses to hear his constituents. Two separate events on two separate days, details are blended to present a distorted truth. Lewis’ home is sacred and deserves respect. I do not condone a protest at Lewis’ residence as an attempt at dialogue. However, let us talk about Lewis’ district office. In Lewis’ Facebook post: “Our district office has also experienced demonstrations in blatant violation of well-established See LETTERS, 5A

SUN THISWEEK - Burnsville - Eagan August 25, 2017 5A

LETTERS, from 4A security rules that have escalated to the point of causing real concern to my staff and the constituents who desire to speak to them.� Let us keep it honest about the Cliff Road office visit. Staffers stated the district office is on private property and is therefore a “private business.� Please explain. What was the violation? Where are “security rules� published? Is there a public notice notifying constituents that unscheduled appointments are “demonstrations�? Lewis’ staff graciously welcomed us into the office, exchanged friendly jokes and offered to pass concerns on to Lewis. If there was concern by staffers, this was not evident in what was recorded by the cameras. What exactly are Lewis’ fears in our request for a town hall? Lewis should represent all of the 2nd District, not just some, even when we may not agree with him. RENITA FISHER Burnsville

A Congress that works To the editor: While much is spoken lately of congressional paralysis due to toxic rancor and partisanship, one committee in the House is quietly and cooperatively making real progress in addressing what may be the existential crisis of our time. The Climate Solutions Caucus just grew to 52 members in July (with equal numbers of Republicans and Democrats) to become a major House Committee. First formed in 2016 by Republican Carlos Curbelo and Democrat Ted Deutch, two Florida congressmen whose districts are in imminent peril from rising sea levels, it has grown substantially in size and influence. The solution most palatable to congressional conservatives and business seems to be the Fee and Dividend approach. This does not involve heavy handed government regulations, bloated bureaucracies, targeted subsidies or new taxes. Instead a price or “fee�is put on carbon at the wellhead, mine or port of entry and all proceeds go back to individual households in the form of a dividend. Through this approach some 70 percent of households would see a net increase in their income, even with the higher initial costs of fossil fuel energy. Independent studies found dramatic reductions in carbon pollution and the reduction of some 230,000 premature deaths as well as net benefits to the economy including some 2.8 million new jobs. Some 40 other major nations worldwide employ some type of carbon fee or tax. The United States can ill afford to fall behind and not take advantage of these new energy technologies. I am hopeful that the Climate Solutions Caucus, with it’s very practical and bipartisan approach will lead the way. KARL FORSBERG Eagan

Time to remove Confederate monuments

ever, reading a textbook with discussion of cause and effect is far different from forcing every visitor to a park or city center to observe these monuments with their single-sided message to the “heroes� of a hateful way of life. DEBRA RIGGS Lakeville

Lewis is willing to listen To the editor: In Mark Frascone’s last letter to the editor, he seems to see a contradiction, because letter writer Richard Iffert stated a few people acted rudely to U.S. Rep. Jason Lewis at the parade, but Meyer stated that Lewis enjoyed talking with many people and his team had to keep pulling him away because the parade was moving on. From this, Frascone somehow finds a contradiction and twisted this into a conclusion that Republicans don’t listen to opposing views. I believe Mr. Frascone is just angry because he has been unable to provoke Lewis into an outburst so he can record it and use it against him in order to support his DFL candidate who plans to run against Lewis. It’s interesting that Frascone accuses Meyer of “digging into his personal life “ because he described him as a DFL activist,; but, Frascone brings up Meyer’s previous run for Eagan City Council (which has nothing to do with the events at the parade) and then personally attacks him warning others not to vote for people like him. Frascone also wrote that Meyer states things about him and his involvement in politics that are just not true and accuses him of employing alternate facts. However, no one need do any “digging� to know that Frascone is the founder of the Burnsville Indivisible resistance group. If that doesn’t make you a DFL activist, what would? It appears to me that Frascone is the one employing alternate facts. Frascone has stated on YouTube that he writes and calls Lewis’ office daily and organizes protests at his office. This is plain and simple harassment. Lewis is always willing to listen to constituents who want to discuss things civilly, regardless of political party. I also attended the parade, and saw a woman walk up to Lewis, and tell him that she was one of his constituents. She expressed her concern, and he politely responded to it, even though he knew she was a Democrat, proving that Lewis does respond to his constituent’s concerns. ARLENE SHELDON Eagan

A message of compassion To the editor: To my white, black, Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Mexican, Buddhist, Taoist, Atheist, Agnostic brothers and sisters, including those groups I don’t mention by name, I extend greetings of peace, love, and compassion. Every day, I try to remember that feelings or thoughts of anger or hatred aimed toward people who appear to be filled with anger and hatred only spread anger and hatred. I believe that remembering love and compassion are the best defense against things as unpleasant as those I mentioned above. I try to avoid name-calling because I believe it’s the first step toward a dark path. When I think of someone as an “idiot,� I sometimes am mindful that anger is present (admittedly, remembering that compassion is more powerful than anger is an ongoing challenge for me). I hope next week will be better for the people of the world than the last. I hope that one day, no one will have to live in fear.

To the editor: As the former monuments to Nazism praised the final solution in Germany, post-Reconstruction monuments glorify Jim Crow and segregation. The post-war Germans recognized that even though Hitler and the horrors of WWII were historic, public recognition in parks and other public places was immoral and made it illegal. One-hundred and fifty years after the Civil War we should do the same. No one is suggesting history should not be ANDY ALT taught in school. How- Lakeville

New cuisine rolls into south metro Fast-casual Asian Kitchen opens in Apple Valley and Eagan by Amy Mihelich SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

The team that brought Yogurt Lab and Agra Culture to the Twin Cities is expanding its culinary offerings. Aaron Switz, CEO and co-founder of Z&H Hospitality Group, is working to broaden the way Minnesotans enjoy fast-casual dining. He opened two new SotaRol locations – one in Apple Valley in mid-July and one in Eagan on Aug. 7. SotaRol is a fast-casual Asian restaurant, primarily serving Japanese and Chinese cuisine. The restaurant combines “innovative Asian flavors with an Up North appeal.� The menu features a sushi-burrito, similar to a large maki roll, dubbed the “SotaRito.� Switz’s professional chefs wrap rice, vegetables and a protein of the customer’s choice in a flexible and tasteless soypaper shell. Switz said that because they do not use nori, the SotaRito is easy to eat and free from the seaweed flavor that often turns people away from sushi. Although the restaurant was originally marketed as a sushi restaurant, more than 85 percent of menu items are created for people who don’t like sushi. In addition to traditional and nontraditional sushi rolls, the extensive menu offers rice bowls and salads. Customers can choose from raw fish, cooked meats or vegetarian options. SotaRol also serves sliders, tater tots and other side dishes, as well as gluten-free chocolate chip cookies and Yogurt Lab ice cream. “There’s nothing bad in our food. We don’t use fillers,� Switz said. “We are offering people the quality that they would get at a high-end restaurant; we’re just delivering something to them quicker, faster and at a lower price point.� Switz and his business partner, Mikel Asp, began thinking of new restaurant ideas in May 2014, after opening their second Agra Culture restaurant. As the business grew, Switz began envisioning a new line of fast-casual sushi restaurants. “I’d been to San Francisco and seen some of these concepts, like the sushi burrito,� Switz said. “I thought it would be cool, and I love sushi, so we started a drawing board of names and marketing.� When a space opened up next door to Agra Culture on 50th and France in Edina in 2015, he decided to build the restaurants. After six months of planning and developing the menu, Switz and Asp opened the first SotaRol restaurant. Since then, the partners have opened four more locations: Stadium Village and Uptown in Minneapolis, and Apple Valley and Eagan. Most SotaRol restaurants have been built in spaces previously occupied by Yogurt Lab. “While Yogurt Lab is really seasonal, SotaRol is an all-year restaurant,� Switz said. “The square footage worked out perfectly. It fit in that space really well.� While the market for SotaRol aligns with Minnesota’s seasonal weather better than an ice cream shop, the unique business faces challenges of its own. Switz said many of SotaRol’s main challenges come hand-in-hand with its strengths. He said although fast-casual Asian dining is an underdeveloped market with room for growth, most Americans have a limited understanding of the products and services provided. “No one’s really had Japanese fast-casual, so

SotaRol’s feature menu item is a sushi-burrito called the SotaRito. The chef makes a Spicy Tuna SotaRito by placing rice, vegetables and tuna on a soypaper wrapping and folding it into a large, maki roll. that in itself is a challenge because people aren’t used to it. They’ve been trained to go into a nice restaurant and sit down to eat these kinds of foods,� Swtiz said. “And, sushiburritos are a completely new product. No one really knows what they are or what to expect.� Switz said that getting people into the restaurant for the first time is the most important step for the growth of his business. “This is the exciting part: We get to tell people about our product, bring them in and let them try it, and in the next 30 years that audience will grow and we will grow along with it,� Switz said. “We look at it like a marathon, not a sprint. We came into

this knowing there is a limited market for just sushi, so that’s why we wanted to offer all the other options.� After the initial struggle of getting people in the door, Switz said he usually sees sales double in the first two and a half years in his businesses. He said growth has been steady and proportional across locations. “We are excited about the next 20 or 30 years,� he said. “Millennials have a wider palate range. They like spice, they like trying new things and they like the ability to get things at a reasonable price quickly. And, people also want some level of embedded health in their food because they are eating out

more. We do all of that.� As the five existing SotaRol restaurants gain in popularity, Switz said he is beginning to look at possible locations for expansion. He is already in the process of bring a SotaRol stand to Target Field. Switz said the chefs are always happy to recommend meals to customers, especially those coming in for the first time. The new resturants are located at 7394 W. 153rd St. in Apple Valley and 2000 Rahncliff Court in Eagan. Both locations are open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Contact Amy Mihelich at amy.mihelich@ecm-inc.com.

6A August 25, 2017 SUN THISWEEK - Burnsville - Eagan

ELECTION, from 1A unteering in the classroom and serving on a number of districtwide committees. My career has been focused on communications, first as a journalist who wrote extensively about education issues, then in government, corporate and nonprofit public information roles. My wife and I have also owned a small business in the district for the past 11 years. I bring a well-rounded background in strategic planning, management and communications to the position and look forward to continuing my service to the people of the district. 3. What are the most important issues concerning the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District, and how would you address them? Stable, predictable funding for our district. State funding, which makes up the majority of our district’s operating budget, has failed to keep pace with inflation. We continue to work with legislators to ensure adequate funding for our schools while working closely with our administration and employee groups to ensure that we keep the biggest share of every dollar in the classroom and that we stay focused on our primary goal: educating all of our students to their full potential. We also take a data-driven look at everything we do in the district, from the classroom to transportation, food service and building leases. We want to make sure that every dollar that taxpayers entrust to us is spent wisely and focused on our core mission. Our racially predictable achievement gap. This vexing issue is not unique to our district. We have aggressively attacked the problem in every building and in every classroom, and we have started to see some progress. We need to continue this work by ensuring that our workforce looks like the community it serves and by building cultural competence across our district so that all children learn at a high level. Our board has asked the superintendent and her cabinet to prepare hiring and succession plans so that we can be intentional about filling staff positions as they come open with the highest qualified candidates who best represent the communities we serve. We also continue to invest in technology that gives our teachers the data they need to tailor instruction to each learner and to identify gaps and trends

at the classroom, school and district levels. We’ve added several “data days� to the district calendar to allow teachers and school leadership to step back and look for shared issues and to collaborate more closely. We have invested in programs that ensure access and increase participation in programs that prepare underrepresented students for college. As a district with high academic expectations, we all know that it is important to raise the achievement of all students while closing the achievement gap.

Gary Huusko Address: 718 Bridle Ridge Road, Eagan Age: 60 F a m ily: Spouse, Laurie; d a u g h t e r, Tara; son, Tyler (both children Gary attended Huusko Woodland Elementary, Dakota Hills Middle School and are graduates of Eagan High School) 1. Why do you want to be on the school board? I’d like the opportunity to continue to work with the board and administration to maintain the high achievement standards of District 196 students, ensure educational opportunities and advancement for all students, and provide positive future opportunities for all students, all within the constraints of a responsible budget. 2. What experience do you bring to this position? How have your experiences prepared you to fulfill the responsibilities of a school board member? In addition to my leadership experience, I have experience working with budgets, including raising funds and cutting expenses when necessary, and working together with a variety of people and groups of people to successfully complete the responsibilities with which we were charged. I also have over 30 years of experience as a lawyer and am able to effectively communicate simple and complex issues and ideas. These experiences have prepared me to be able to understand the issues facing our district, our students, teachers, staff and the community and to help our students to continue to receive the best education we can provide. 3. What are the most important issues concerning the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District, and how would you address them? The most important

issues concerning the district continue to be funding and elimination of the achievement gap. Funding continues to be a challenge due to underfunded mandates, inconsistent and insufficient funding from the Legislature and the rising costs of providing a quality education for our students. I take a reasoned and rational approach to financial issues our district faces to utilize our resources responsibly and will continue to communicate with our legislators to impress upon them the need for more stable and adequate education funding. I will continue to work tirelessly to provide the best education opportunities for our students within our budget limitations. I will also continue to support our teachers, administration, and staff in developing new and innovative programs to reduce and eliminate the achievement gap, including encouraging parents and children to become engaged early in the education process, and continue seeking ways to ensure our students are successful at every grade level and are successful in their posthigh school education and careers.

Mike Roseen Address: 879 Redwood Drive, Apple Valley Age: 66 Fa m i l y : Married to wife Sharon for 41 years, two grown sons (both g r a d u at e s Mike Roseen of AVHS) 1. Why do you want to be on the school board? I am part of a school board that really cares about public education, and District 196. We work very well together. Based on my experience I want to continue to use my knowledge of district matters to make 196 as strong as it can be. I have 26 years of board experience that I can use to continue to be a strong voice for the taxpayers of 196. 2. What experience do you bring to this position? How have your experiences prepared you to fulfill the responsibilities of a school board member? I have lived in District 196 for 41 years. I have an M.A. in public administration from Hamline University. I am retired after 31 years as a deputy sheriff with Hennepin County. I have served on every board committee and have held all leadership board positions. I have served as a board member for 26 years. I was board chair

several times. Based on the experience and leadership positions, I have great insight and understanding of district 196. 3. What are the most important issues concerning the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District, and how would you address them? The budget will always be the most important issue. The budget drives everything we do. Without a well thought out budget, all the other issues — curriculum, classroom teaching, activities, employees, and everything else that uses the budget would not happen. We need to continue to offer the very best education we can, always working within the budget. Again, my experience will allow me to make sure we are getting the most from every taxpayer dollar, while still providing the educational opportunities that the district resident expect.

Craig Angrimson Address: 6054 Falcon Ridge Trail, Apple Valley `Age: 61 Family: Wife, Gail; d a u g h t e r, Rachel 1. Why do you want to be on Craig the school Angrimson board? We moved to this district 25 years ago because of the excellent school system. I believe it is time for some fresh ideas on our board. I have shown my dedication to this district, and I will do research to make sound financial decisions. I want to give back to this great district. 2. What experience do you bring to this position? How have your experiences prepared you to fulfill the responsibilities of a school board member? My experience being on boards and panels gives me knowledge on setting realistic goals and working with others for a common cause. I am always asking citizens what needs to change to make our district better. I spend time finding out what are the hot topics of constituents. 3. What are the most important issues concerning the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District, and how would you address them? The main issues are keeping a balanced budget and trying to narrow the achievement gap. As far as budget, I do not want to ever lose a district employee due to funding. I am in constant contact with our legislators in St. Paul to express the importance of funding. Most of our funding come from the state level. I will work to make sure I do my part to get as much help as we can. The achievement gap is an ongoing problem. Our district is making headway, but we still have a ways to go. I believe we need to keep class sizes down. A better teacher-to-student ratio allows our teachers more time to teach. There are many other ideas also. There is no quick fix, but we can continue to progress.

whether it was at Woodland, Dakota Hills, or Eagan High. Now, as the mother of three schoolaged kids I continue to see the great gifts that our district has to offer and realize that it’s time for me to give back. I am excited at the chance to give my talent, time, and energy to ensure that our teachers, staff, and students continue to flourish in our schools. 2. What experience do you bring to this position? How have your experiences prepared you to fulfill the responsibilities of a school board member? I’ve spent the last 12 years working full time at General Mills in a variety of functions, with most of my time being spent in Logistics/Supply Chain. During my time in a corporate culture I’ve learned the importance of working collaboratively across borders to find solutions for my customers, suppliers, and coworkers. That ability to listen, influence, and speak to a broad audience will be immediately applicable as a school board member where I’ll be called on to consider several different viewpoints and determine the most beneficial solution. I don’t know if anything prepares you more for a school board position than being a parent. I’m challenged and honored to be a mom to three talented and very different kids. On a daily basis they teach me patience, humor, kindness, and love. I know that they and all the kids in our district deserve a quality education that prepares them to be good citizens of the world in the future. 3. What are the most important issues concerning the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District, and how would you address them? I think that racial and religious tolerance is one of the most important issues facing the district right now. Our schools don’t look the same as they did 20 years ago when I graduated from high school; in fact, they look even better with a level of diversity that enriches the experience for everyone. Diversity offers us the opportunity to listen thoughtfully and consider other viewpoints. We can incorporate these viewpoints into the learning environment and also allow all students to succeed at the same time. The school board is able to impact the environment in schools by approving the hiring of qualified staff to roles that are a match Rebecca Gierok for them and the students Address: 124 Chaparral and by working with the Drive, Apple Valley Superintendent to creAge: 38 ate an achievable mission F a m for the district as a whole. ily: My Great work has been done husband is already and I’m ready to Dan and learn more to help shape we have the future of our successthree kids ful district. — Nathan, Rebecca Daniel O’Neil Eva and Gierok Address:1321 Carlson Owen. 1.

Dibenefitted greatly from the See ELECTION, 7A education that I received Address: 16964 Eventide Way, Lakeville Age: 49 Family: Married, two sons and two daughters 1. Why do you want Brian to be on Buechele the school board? I believe every child can excel when given an opportunity. I also believe teachers are at the foundation of our community. I would like to do what I can to ensure the learning opportunity for all students and provide the parents, schools and teachers with the resource to maintain, preserve and promote the excellence of ISD 196. 2. What experience do you bring to this position? How have your experiences prepared you to fulfill the responsibilities of a school board member? I have experienced what it is to have children in the district. Seeing the benefits of learning, in the classroom and outside the classroom. Being successful working on the operations side of the technology field has given me the ability to apply logical and reasonable decisions, to provide an openness to listen and to ask questions. It has also shown me perseverance, to search for the source of a problem in order to solve it, or make process easier or operational again. My experience in real estate has provided experiences with buildings, legal findings, property rights, titles and contracts. I have realized positive negotiation, and the ability to translate benefits and identify shortcomings can provide a beneficial resolution and useful experience for the parties involved. 3. What are the most important issues concerning the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District, and how would you address them? I believe an informed and engaged community provides for the most effective growth in student achievements. I will work with fellow board members to ensure every student receives the time and support needed to exceed. I will work to improve relationships between schools, teachers and the community. Parents, teachers, students and faculty all play a role in your child’s education. The line of communication must remain open, stay positive and be honest.

SUN THISWEEK - Burnsville - Eagan August 25, 2017 7A

ELECTION, from 6A v o r c e d (children’s mom lives in the district, too). My father was a school Daniel superinten- O’Neil dent and my mom was a teacher. 1. Why do you want to be on the school board? As father of four students in the district (Brady, 17, Darby, 15, Logan, 14 and Landon, 11), I’m excited that our district is committed to a mission of having each student reach their full potential. As a taxpaying homeowner, I am aware that our board is entrusted millions of dollars to deliver on that mission. As a former board member from another large district in Minnesota, I am aware that we are passing through challenging times both as a nation and in our educational system. We must work together to embrace our heritage and build on our success while we integrate new ideas and innovation. I look forward to the opportunity to serve for my family, for my neighbors, and our community. 2. What experience do you bring to this position? How have your experiences

prepared you to fulfill the responsibilities of a school board member? I’m a former Army officer (major) and combat veteran. I have experience managing and directing strategic programs at leading organizations including the Walt Disney Co., Northwest Airlines and the Mayo Clinic. For more than a decade, I’ve volunteered on nonprofit boards across Minnesota. In addition, I served six years on the Rochester Public School Board. Together our board team revised our strategic plan, hired a new superintendent, made strategic investments in infrastructure, and successfully passed an operating referendum. Currently, at Mayo Clinic, I lead a team of project managers and business analysts bringing about innovative solutions that merge high technology with exceptional service. The school board fulfills three important functions for our district, including selecting and supporting the superintendent, creating and monitoring educational policies, and providing budget oversight for millions of dollars of tax revenue and expenditures. With my combination of business, nonprofit, and Minnesota school board experience, I am well posi-

tioned to work as part of the leadership team. As a new member of the team, I would be able to provide a fresh perspective and promote innovation to keep our schools great. 3. What Bianca are the Virnig most important issues concerning the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District, and how would you address them? Issues facing our district include: 1) Building on our excellent financial position, which I believe we can attain through systematic review of all revenue and expenditures. We must partner with similar communities to advance ideas in educational funding in Minnesota and to share best practices. 2) Promoting inclusivity and reducing achievement disparities which the board must address by setting the example in welcoming diversity of background and opinions. Having served in another community with three superintendents and twelve different board members, I have the experience and temperament of delivering while working with oth-

ers. 3) Bringing forward innovative ideas. I believe that bold leadership will be required to overcome the status quo. To improve we must change. One welldocumented change that should be made is to establish a later start time for students, particularly in high school. By providing information about the advantages of the change, building the case for a pilot program, and following through if the prototype shows merit, we can make this change — and inspire other innovations.

Bianca Virnig Address: 1449 Rocky Lane, Eagan Age: 38 Family: Husband, Ken; three children (a toddler son, a son in second grade and a daughter in kindergarten, both at Deerwood Elementary) 1. Why do you want to be on the school board? Independent School District 196 has been fortunate to have a high quality team leading the future of our children. The current board members have done a nice job and I’d like to help foster that good work into the future. As a parent of three young children, I think I can help continue building on that strong foundation. I believe in public education. I believe that we can help do

more to create and prepare our children to be members of the global community. 2. What experience do you bring to this position? How have your experiences prepared you to fulfill the responsibilities of a school board member? As a full-time working mother of three who received all my education in public schools, I have a lot of personal experiences that have helped prepare me to be a school board member. I am a communicator, researcher, adept in compromise and skilled at planning for the future. I ask a lot of questions and welcome diversity in perspectives. I received the Governor’s Act of Kindness Award for volunteer work. Professionally, I have worked over a decade in public service at both the state and local level and I have led and supported many initiatives on change and engagement. While I admittedly lack direct school board experience, I bring creativity, a fresh perspective and heart. 3. What are the most important issues concerning the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District, and how would you address them? Succession planning is a major issue for both

the district and the school board. Most school board members do not have children currently attending school within the district and I would like to see that change. The current board members should be commended as they have dedicated decades’ worth of service to the district but we should begin to think about integrating new perspectives while being able to learn from those who have come before us. There are approximately 28,000 students in the district and only eight people expressed interest in running for the board. Now is the time to start to capitalize on that interest and begin to transition the board to the next generation of leaders. The achievement gap is another major issue facing the district. I believe looking at it holistically and not solely focusing on test scores can lead to some great ideas on how to close that gap. As someone new to the school board, I would continue to research and explore modern ideas on bridging the gap while supporting the work that is already in progress.

‘Suspicious incident’ marked ‘harmless misunderstanding’

by Amy Mihelich

SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

According to an Apple Valley police report, an unidentified female attempted to pick up two children from a YMCA summer youth program. The incident occurred on Wednesday, Aug. 16. at 3:30 p.m. at Westview Elementary School. The woman approached program staff and provided the names of two children she intended to pick up. The staff, following checkout procedure, determined the woman was not authorized to pick up the children. The children stated they did not know

the woman. The woman left in a black SUV with Minnesota license plates. Three children were in the vehicle with her. Apple Valley police encouraged anyone with information to call the station. YMCA staff said that it has checkout procedures in place for situations such as these. “The safety of the kids is always our top priority. We have a reliable system, and it worked flawlessly,� said Joan Schimml, senior director of communications and marketing for the Burnsville YMCA. On Friday, Aug. 18, Apple Valley police released

a statement that they’d identified the woman. After speaking with her, they determined the incident was “a harmless misunderstanding involving kids with similar-sounding names.� Apple Valley police Capt. John Bermel said the incident presents no threat to the community. “This was a harmless misunderstanding, and we have not had any other similar incidents happen,� he said. Bermel said the incident exemplifies how important it is for kids and staff to follow safety measures. “The YMCA staff

did their job and the kids who were approached did their job. They recognized this wasn’t someone they should go with. That is the best way to prevent this type of thing. We can’t prevent a misunderstanding – but everybody did what they were supposed to do in this situation,� he said. Bermel said he encourages parents to have continuous conversations with their children about pickup procedures. He also said he encourages child care facilitators to review and follow their protocols. Contact Amy Mihelich at amy.mihelich@ecm-inc.com.

Sports Wildcats have talent, are building togetherness Volleyball team seeks 3rd consecutive state championship by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

In a volleyball hotbed such as Minnesota has become, no team – not even two-time defending state large-school champion Eagan – can corner the market on talent. And yet the Wildcats have been in the state championship match the last four years, winning three times. What makes them different? The Wildcats’ three senior captains for 2017 – McKenna Melville, Anne Wong and Ally Murphy – say it’s chemistry, and specifically the willingness to set aside egos. “You run into some teams where you can tell they butt heads on the court,” Murphy said. “I feel like skill can get you to a certain point, but after that it’s attitude.” In the winter, spring and summer, high school players disperse to club teams at various age levels. In the fall, the challenge for high school coaches is to get players from different club backgrounds functioning as a team. “They come from so many different systems that it takes us a good couple of weeks just to figure out what our system is so the girls aren’t running into each other,” said Eagan coach Kathy Gillen, whose teams have won seven state championships. “They need to know what to expect from who’s standing next to them. My main goal in the next week to week and a half is to get our chemistry on target so we can move forward and not worry about little things.” Before classes start Sept. 5, it’s “all about volleyball.

Express, Bandits out of state tourney Eagan held to 1 hit in Class B opener

Officially, Elko played one game at the state Class B baseball tournament, but it was equivalent to more than two. The Express and Brooklyn Park tied a record for the longest state tourney game Sunday, playing 20 innings and more than six hours before Brooklyn Park pushed across a run to win 4-3 at Norwood and advance to the double-elimination phase of the tournament. The loss ended the season for Elko, which finished 29-14 in its first state appearance since 2014. Also losing in the first round were the Eagan Bandits, who fell to the St. Cloud Beaudreau’s Saints 8-0 on Sunday in Norwood. Elko took a 2-0 lead in the top of the third inning against Brooklyn Park. The Norsemen responded with two in the bottom of the fourth and the teams traded runs in the eighth. The game’s next run didn’t arrive for 12 more innings. If it’s possible to pitch a complete game in relief, then Elko’s Dylan Thomas, a Lakeville North High School graduate, did it. Thomas, the third Elko pitcher used in the game, came on in the eighth and pitched nine innings, holding Brooklyn Park to two hits and no runs. He had 10 strikeouts. Mike Mehlich pitched the first seven innings allowing two runs and four hits. Nick Bentley pitched to two batters and was

No. 2 and Lakeville North is third. Prior Lake was runner-up to Eagan in the 2015 state Class 3A final and also made the state tournament last year. Lakeville North returns the top eight players from a team that finished second in last year’s Section 1 tournament. Eagan’s captains say they have learned it’s better to think about how they need to improve than about what the competition is doing. “We won’t even look at our first (opponent) until the night of the match,” Melville said. The captains added that they’re hoping to go out with another state championship but could deal with not winning it if they played well and lost to a team that played better. But there’s one scenario they want to avoid at all costs. “I don’t want to walk away from a loss knowing I didn’t give it my all,” Melville said.

Roy Larson was one of the top pitchers and hitters for Eagan’s state Class B tournament qualifying team. charged with an unearned run before being replaced by Thomas. Another former Lakeville North player, Grant Gunderson, pitched the final three innings for Elko. Two Elko hitters, third baseman Kyle Kraska and center fielder Ash Larsen, had nine at bats each in the marathon. Left fielder Jason Grimm, a former Burnsville High School player, went 4-for8, including a double and home run, and drove in all three Elko runs. Mitch Frederick was 3-for-6 and Thomas hit two doubles. Two St. Cloud Beaudreau’s pitchers combined on a one-hitter in their team’s opening-round victory over Eagan. St. Cloud Beaudreau’s scored four runs in the top of the second inning and was not threatened after that. Infielder Collin Olstad had the only hit for Eagan, which played in the state tourney for the fifth

time in six years.

Class C tourney The New Market Muskies advanced in the state Class C tournament with a 4-0 victory over Dumont on Sunday in a first-round game at Hamburg. The Class C tourney has 48 teams and is single-elimination. Next up for New Market is a second-round game against Kimball at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 27, in Norwood. Nate Rost pitched a one-hitter with no walks and 10 strikeouts for New Market, which took the lead with a three-run third inning. Shortstop Scott Lyden, a former Apple Valley High School player, was 2-for-4 with one run scored and two driven in. Contact Mike Shaughnessy at mike.shaughnessy@ecminc.com.

Jeff Marshall, who has worked at Burnsville High School as a teacher, coach, counselor and currently activities director, is leaving to become dean of students at Edina High School. Marshall announced the move on the Burnsville activities department Twitter account (@BurnsvilleSport) on Tuesday. “With mixed emotions, I will be leaving BHS Activities to become the new Dean of Students at Edina High School,” he wrote. “It has truly been an honor and pleasure to have served the students of Burnsville High School for the past 20 years.” He will start his new job in Edina next week. Marshall said an opening for an interim activities director has been posted in School District 191, with the goal to have it filled within a few weeks. In the meantime, newly hired assistant activities director Brian Skelly and longtime administrative assistant Jeanine Riggs will keep things running. “This was difficult,” Marshall said Wednesday. “When you leave after 20 years, you feel like you’re leaving family.” Marshall said personal and professional reasons led to the move. It will help him build his administrative resume toward becoming a school principal, which he said is a long-range goal. In the short term, he expects it will allow him more time at home with his family – particularly his four children, ages 4 to 11. An activities director’s job is yearround and requires frequent evening and weekend work. The dean’s job at Edina is a teaching contract, and Marshall will have some time off in the summer. Also, after spending most of his career in Burnsville, Marshall said it would

be good for him to experience life in another school district. “I think this job will let me expand my horizons a bit in terms of interacting with students and helping them, just in a different way,” he said. “And personally, it will help me be the kind of husband and father I need to be.” Marshall has been Burnsville’s activities director since August 2010. He did it first on a one-year interim appointment before receiving the permanent position in 2011. A 1990 graduate of BHS, where he was an all-conference and all-state swimmer, Marshall returned to his alma mater in 1997 to teach English. Later, he moved to the guidance office and was head guidance counselor before becoming activities director. He earned a bachelor’s degree in English at Northwestern University and did graduate studies at Minnesota State Mankato and Hamline University. He was also the boys and girls swimming coach at Burnsville for 10 years (1998-2008), leading the girls to a state team championship in 2002 and the boys to a state title in 2007. He was a threetime state coach of the year. Marshall coached several state individual champions, including Kerry Kraemer, who went on to swim at Stanford University and compete in the U.S. Olympic Trials, and Paul Tierney, who competed at the University of Minnesota and now is head coach of the Blaze boys team. “I’m proud of the opportunities we’ve been able to provide to students in Burnsville the last seven years,” Marshall said. “We’ve dealt with changing demographics. We have more kids on the free and reduced lunch program. But we were able to give them a chance to participate, and that’s something I’ll always cherish.”

Black Dog swim tryouts scheduled Black Dog Swimming is holding tryouts and a registration night 5-8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 8, at Eagle Ridge Junior High School, 13955 Glendale Road, Savage. Black Dog Swimming offers year-

round practices for swimmers of all ability levels. For more information,contact Justin at swimminfam@gmail.com or visit www. teamunify.com/Home.jsp?team=mnbds.

Department is joining with partners nationwide in recognizing August as National Immunization Awareness Month. Dakota County Public Health offers immunizations for eligible children and adults. Call 952-8917999 to schedule an appointment or attend an upcoming walk-in clinic on Sept. 14 in West St. Paul or Sept. 19 in Apple Valley. National Immunization Awareness Month is also the perfect opportunity to make sure adults are protected against diseases like flu, whooping cough, tetanus, shingles and pneumococcal disease. Public Health will host walk-in immunization clinics at Prince of Peace in Burnsville on Mondays in October from 12-2 p.m. for adults who are underinsured or uninsured. The specific vaccines adults need are determined by factors such as age, lifestyle, risk conditions, locations of travel, and previous vaccines. All adults should talk to their health care professionals to make sure they are up to date on vaccines recommended for them. Vaccines protect against a number of serious and potentially life-threatening diseases. When children are not vaccinated they are at increased risk for diseases and can also spread diseases to others in their classrooms and community – including babies who are too young to be fully vaccinated and people with weakened immune systems due to cancer or other health conditions. Talk to your child’s doctor to find out which vaccines are recommended. Parents can find out more about the recommended vaccines at www.cdc.gov/ vaccines/, by visiting www. co.dakota.m.us and searching vaccines for children, or calling Dakota County at 952-891-7999.

members — Director of Administrative Services Dana Hardie, police Capt. Tanya Schwartz and former Planning Commission Chair Jim Bradrick — recommended July 27 denying Huang’s license and her request for the enterprise license. The latter had been held by Patrick Orth, who was listed as the sole owner on Burnsville Bodyworks’ latest license application. Both licenses were set to expire June 30. During its review, the panel delayed expiration until July 31. Huang appealed the panel’s denials to the council and was accompanied Aug. 22 by two attorneys and her daughter. In her renewal application, Huang failed to disclose the two Minneapolis license denials, which occurred during proceedings in 2015, 2016 and 2017, according to the Burnsville panel’s findings. The denials stripped her of individual licensure and her license to run a business called Uptown Bodywork on West Lake Street, the panel said. Letters to Huang in March and February 2015 from Minneapolis’ Licenses and Consumer Services Division said the business had been the subject of complaints and used seductive images of young women in its ads. The complaints and ads made it appear she intended to operate the business unlawfully, the city said. Ads for Burnsville Bodywork also appeared on Backpage.com, with “provocative photos of massage therapists,� some with a man on a massage table, according to findings in a Minneapolis city hearing on Orth’s 2016 application to license a business called Massage Meadows. A nearby resident of the Burnsville business complained to the city about after-hours customers at its back-door entrance,

said Chris Forslund, the city’s licensing and code enforcement coordinator. A phone number on the door matched the number in ads on Backpage.com and Craigslist, Forslund said. The Minneapolis findings said that Huang, who was an employee of Orth’s, used aliases on internet postings to “recruit Chinese women from different states with promises of making unrealistic amounts of money, which leads our office to believe Ms. Huang is fraudulently luring women to the massage industry in Minnesota.� She confirmed during testimony in a Division of Business Licensing hearing that she recruited by phone women from New York and California to come to Minnesota, claiming they could make $7,000 a month working in a massage parlor, the findings said. Matthew Streff, one of her attorneys, told the Burnsville council that Huang’s claims of $7,000 a month might be “exaggerations� but are not unattainable. The Burnsville Bodyworks ads with young women were “perhaps in poor taste,� but Huang has taken them down, Streff said. He urged Burnsville not to “replicate� Minneapolis’ “overly harsh� conclusions based on “poor-tasting ads and some unreasonable salary expectations.� Huang has “no major criminal history� and been found guilty of nothing more than “minor traffic violations,� Streff said in a filing in Huang’s appeal before the Burnsville administrative panel. He said the city’s authority to deny a license to an applicant who has been denied elsewhere in the last five years is “overly punitive.� Huang graduated from a California beauty college in 2011 after completing a nine-month pro-

gram in massage, according to Streff. As a massage therapist, the single mother is devoted to helping people relieve pain and stress, Streff said. He suggested Huang be fined for incomplete reporting on her Burnsville license renewal application, but not denied her livelihood. Council Member Cara Schulz cast the lone vote against denying Huang’s license requests. “I think in order to take away someone’s livelihood the threshold needs to be exceedingly high,� Schulz said. “And just to cut to the meat of it, she hasn’t been arrested for prostitution, and that’s kind of what we’re stepping around ... Do we think she’s a prostitute or not, or do we think she’s a massage therapist?� Schulz said she wouldn’t vote to take Huang’s livelihood based on “accusing someone of a crime before a crime has happened.� Randall Tigue, an attorney for Huang, said she would appeal in court if denied her license requests. Council Member Dan Kealey said Schulz’s concerns are valid but beyond the council’s purview. He suggested denying the license requests but staying the denial pending court review. City Attorney Joel Jamnik said Huang’s appeal could take a year or two. Kealey withdrew his suggestion. After the 4-1 vote, Mayor Elizabeth Kautz suggested that Huang might practice massage in a city without Burnsville’s “stringent review� and “culture.� Burnsville Bodyworks is the third massage business Burnsville has closed based on license violations, according to officials.

SUN THISWEEK - Burnsville - Eagan August 25, 2017 17A

CENTER, from 1A Burnsville Center property owners, is expected to close by mid-September. Sears Holdings is shuttering 18 Sears stores and two Kmart locations in another wave of closings for the troubled retailer. Burnsville’s Economic Development Commission and a citizen committee working with officials to update the city’s comprehensive plan have called for a study of the Burnsville Center area’s future. “Our citizens and our visitors are also noticing dark spaces within the mall,� Kautz said. “For me, it is important for Burnsville to help, to encourage the property owners, to make sure that this property doesn’t go dark.� Kautz, whose solo action to enter the Mayors Challenge raised some

eyebrows among her City Council colleagues, took the action at the annual meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors in Miami Beach. She is a past conference president, member of the board of trustees and chair of the conference’s Finance and Audit Committee. As one of the first 300 cities to respond, Burnsville secured a Bloombergpaid consultant visit to the city. Kautz said the consultant will meet with city officials and others to prepare the city for the next step in the Mayors Challenge — applying for cash awards to help cities tackle their challenges. In October, Bloomberg Philanthropies will announce cash awards of $5 million to a grand prizewinning city and $1 million to four others. Awards of $100,000 will go to 35 other cities. The money

will help cities create a coast-to-coast “laboratory� for “civic solutions,� according to Bloomberg. The consultant will be in Burnsville Sept. 11, Kautz said. Burnsville Center general manager Joe Duperre will attend, along with an executive vice president of development for Tennessee-based mall owner CBL & Associates Properties, Kautz said. (Macy’s, JCPenney and Seritage, a real estate investment trust, also own parts of the mall, she said.) Others attendees will include Burnsville Chamber of Commerce President Jennifer Harmening, Experience Burnsville Executive Director Amie Burrill, city planning commissioners Vince Workman and Jim Bradrick, Economic Development Commission member Jeff LaFavre, City Council

Member Dan Kealey and city staffers Jenni Faulkner and Skip Nienhaus, Kautz said. “You have to have a group of people coming together to help be intentional and proactive about what we need to do,� the mayor said. “I’m just excited that we have a consultant. Having a consultant allows us to have some insight into how we can write a successful grant application,� she said. Council Member Kealey called the Bloomberg program “a great grant opportunity that we shouldn’t pass up.� But Council Member Dan Gustafson criticized Kautz’s solo action at an Aug. 15 council work session. He said the full council should have had a say in identifying Burnsville’s “urgent� challenge. Council Member Bill

Coughlin opposed entering Burnsville Center in the Mayors Challenge. The mall’s owners “are a lot better qualified than anybody on this council� to decided the property’s future, he said. “They can hire the best experts in the country to figure out what they want to do.� Gustafson agreed. “Why are we putting money into that when they can put money into it?� he said. “What we have to do is just get out of their way and just say, ‘What you want to do, come to us, we’ll let you do it.’ � Kealey responded that given the chance, Gustafson would have “jumped all over free money� like the mayor did. “The entire country is suffering mall problems,� Kealey said, “and we could use all the help we can get.� Kautz questioned

whether mall owners have been proactive in addressing their problems. The city now finds itself in a “critical situation,� she said. “I love my community, and if there’s anything I can do to help solve this problem, I will, and that’s what I’m doing with this,� Kautz said. “It’s not costing the taxpayers of Burnsville anything.� In entering the competition, she also identified the strip mall west of Burnsville Center, whose tenants include Unique Thrift Store, as part of the problem area.

begin. “The moment they start moving dirt, it would take four to six weeks, maybe eight depending on weather, to complete,� Pimental said The original park was built in 2001 and hasn’t

been updated much since. It’s located at Lexington-Diffley Athletic Field near the water tower. It’s close to both Eagan High School and Dakota Hills Middle School. The city council approved a park improve-

ment plan in 2016. The department is in the middle of several other large improvement projects for 2017, including reconstruction of the Bridle Ridge Park building, improvements to the Thomas Lake Pavilion,

nature trail connections throughout Patrick Eagan Park, a nature-play area at Patrick Eagan Park, Wi-Fi at the Eagan Art House, reconstruction of one of the Goat Hill Park baseball fields and new bike racks throughout Eagan

parks. Most are midway or near to completion, Pimental said.

to place the historical marker near its original location along the Mississippi River Trail east of 111th Street on land owned by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. “It would be a fantastic stopping point for walkers

and bikers,� Atkins said. “It really tells the history of this area. When we’re no longer here to tell the story, his story will still be told.� He said he’s heard from longtime neighbors of the monument who are thrilled that it could be put

back up. The county will hear about its Minnesota Historical and Cultural Heritage Grant after Sept. 15, which is when applications are due. The rest of the funding for the installation would be part of 2018 CIP program budget.

“As we’ve learned in andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com. recent weeks, monuments matter,� Atkins said. If the grant is approved, Atkins expects it to be reinstalled next summer. “From the ashes it may rise,� Atkins said.
