Sandra Grazzini-Rucki is hospitalized with a head injury and under guard at Regions Hospital after a fall, according to Dakota County Judge Karen Asphaug. The injury occurred at the Ramsey County workhouse, where the Lakeville mother of five was being held for felony depravation of parental rights. Lakeville police allege Grazzini-Rucki drove her two runaway teen-
age daughters from their Lakeville home in April 2013 and kept them from their father, Dave Rucki. Few details were shared about the nature of the fall Grazzini-Rucki suffered or the severity of her injuries, but Asphaug said she was undergoing testing at the hospital. Police say GrazziniRucki drove her daughters, Samantha and Gianna Rucki to White Horse Ranch in Herman, Minn., and refused to divulge their whereabouts even after she was arrested last month. The girls, now 17 and 16, were discovered last See COURT, 3A
Longtime Lakeville parks employee to leave Dan Brettschneider to start as director in South Dakota
After almost 15 years working for Lakeville Parks and Recreation Department, Dan Brettschneider is leaving for a top job in the city of Brookings, S.D. Brettschneider will start as the Brookings Parks, Recreation and Forestry director on Dec. 15; his last day working for Lakeville as the city’s recreation program su- Dan Brettschneider pervisor is Dec. 1. He said he has pulled his name out of consideration as a candidate for the director position with the city of Lakeville, which opened in September due to the resignation of Brett Altergott. “This opportunity just came up,” said Brettschneider, who added he has always aspired to the position of parks and recreation director. Brettschneider described the move as “taking a leap” since he and wife Mardi have no family, history or connections in South Dakota. Brettschneider said he was drawn to Brookings because it is a small, college town that values its parks. “Brookings are huge supporters of the park and recreation field,” Brettschneider said. He said during the interview process, the Brookings city manager told him the parks department “leads the way” for all its departments and has a budget of about $4.3 million. The department has seven divisions, an aquatic center, a city-operated 18-hole golf course and manages two indoor sheets of ice, according to Brettschneider.

Lakeville Area School District officials will ask Dakota County to install a chain-link fence as part of its project to widen and improve Dodd Boulevard, the narrow, winding road where Lakeville teen Alyssa Ettl died in a 2013 car crash. School Board members agreed in a Nov. 19 work session to accept the county’s proposed $16,250 settlement for taking about 10,000-square-feet of property for the road improvements. They requested Dakota County install a chain-link fence along the school property to keep stray balls from its fields from interfering with traffic. Upgrades to Dodd Boulevard have been completed on various sections in recent years, but it remains a rural undivided two-way roadway design from 185th Street to the Lakeville North High School entrance at 195th Street. The stretch is bookended with deep ditches and numerous telephone poles lining both sides. Hun-

The five Republican candidates aiming to gain the GOP’s endorsement in the 2nd Congressional District offered delegates five differing narratives during a Senate District 52 debate in Inver Grove Heights last Thursday. Pam Myhra, David Gerson, Jason Lewis, David Benson-Staebler and John Howe echoed their support of many of the same initiatives (reduced government, lower taxes and local control of education, among others) but
David Pam Myhra Gerson offered variances in style. Myhra, of Burnsville, said this election is about trust. “Who will you trust to represent you in Congress and trust and defend the values, policies and principles you hold dear?” she asked. She said she has lived what she has said as a twoterm member of the Minnesota House, consistently voting for conservative values. She said she will do the same in Congress.
Jason Lewis John Howe “I will be a person you can trust,” the 40-year resident of the district said. Among the issues she outlined to address are out-of-control federal spending, reducing the interference of government in citizens’ lives, reducing the size of the U.S. Department of Education, improving national security, rebuilding the military to a position of strength and leadership, supporting 2nd Amendment rights and protecting vulnerable human life.
“It is imperative that we retain this seat,” Myhra said. “We can’t talk our way David Benson- to victory, Staebler we must fight our way to victory.” Lewis, who made a career as a conservative radio talk show host, cast himself as the person who could take the fight to the Democrats. He said Democratic candidates will be wellfunded and called himself the most electable conservative in the race. “I’m up to the task,” he said. “We have a rendezvous with destiny.” Lewis said he would be the candidate who would
cut the pork, not bring it home. The Woodbury resident (a city that’s outside the 2nd District boundary) outlined several areas that he said he would address if elected, including reducing health care costs, strengthening border security, reducing the cost of attending college, reforming the tax code and eliminating tax subsidies. He said addressing these issues would need bold leadership. “These are the very issues I got in the race to tackle,” he said. “I’m not in this race to have my 15 minutes of fame. I’ve already had it. I’m not in it for a job.” Citing his narrow less See GOP, 16A

Cityโ s 2016 levy increase 3.85 percent Council cites concerns about future expenses by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Lakeville City Council members are expected to approve a final 2016 levy of $25.6 million on Dec. 7, a 3.85 percent increase from 2015 and 1 percent less than the preliminary levy set in September. New estimates show the cityโ s share of property taxes will increase by $951,070, adding $15 for the average-value Lakeville home of $274,673, according to City Finance Director Jerilyn Erickson. City Council members indicated support for the revised budget and levy at a Nov. 23 work session and are expected to approve it at its Dec. 7 meeting. In September, the preliminary maximum levy increase was set at 4.9
percent and estimated to add $28 to property taxes of an average-valued home, which increased in value 2.41 percent from $268,203 in 2015. A majority of the City Council agreed to use $650,000 from its $1.6 million sale of its 183rd Street property to reduce the levy. Mayor Matt Little opposed reducing the levy, citing concerns that the city does not have a consistent stream of funding for future capital needs, which will โ hamstringโ future councils into increasing the fund balance for capital expenditures, including fixing equipment and maintaining facilities. Little said the council has โ tunnel vision,โ because while the city will save some on the levy this year, it will have to significantly increase it in the future to meet city staffโ s projected equipment needs. The cityโ s proposed
equipment fund shows Lakeville Police Department funding requests of $702,736 in 2017 and $1.2 million in 2018. Council Member Doug Anderson called the planned expenditures โ substantialโ and suggested the council discuss priorities and equipment spending. Anderson also suggested the council later consider policy issues that add long-term costs, such as whether trails are needed on both sides of city streets. โ We have to be cognisant of the path weโ re on here and have the resources available to do the priorities,โ Anderson said, adding that he was not confident the future budget requests represents the councilโ s priorities. Council Member Bart Davis said priorities could shift and agreed there could be unforeseen expenses to consider. He advocated for the
council to discuss and understand how longterm plans are affected by short-term decisions. Erickson also reported the city received greater revenues from building permits and predicted to end the 2015 budget with a 44.9 percent unrestricted fund balance of $334,508, within the cityโ s policy of maintaining it between 40 percent and 50 percent of the next yearโ s General Fund expenditures. She said the cityโ s liquor fund has been dropping for the last several years, although Erickson said sales are stronger this year than originally anticipated. Liquor store profits have historically been used to fund items like equipment. Sluggish sales reduced the amount of transfer from the liquor fund to the equipment fund from $800,000 to about $500,000 this fiscal See LEVY, 15A

District expected to waive parent consent policy Goal is to get more students to answer ‘frank’ survey by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
A majority of the District 194 School Board is likely to waive its parental consent policy hoping more students will participate in the Minnesota Student Survey and answer questions the state describes as “frank.� District 194’s policy F-130 requires parental permission before students take the Minnesota Student Survey, which asks them about personal beliefs or practices including religion, sex, alcohol and drug use by themselves or their parents or guardians. Without the policy in place, District 194 will assume passive parental consent as do most Minnesota school districts. Like other districts, Lakeville public school students in grades 8, 9 and 11 will be given the option of taking the survey unless parents write to opt their child out of it. While the state is advocating the survey also be given to Minnesota fifthgraders, Lakeville schools will not administer it to those students because of questions involving the age-appropriateness of the questions and the way they are posed, according to Renae Ouillette, District 194 director of Special Education and Student Services. She said district of-
ficials have not seen the 2016 version, but based their decision on the previous version “which we, and other districts, believed was not written at a developmentally appropriate level for elementary aged students.� Ouillette said District 194 instead asks parents of K-5 students to complete a free online survey (at sdqinfo.com) that helps identify any students who could be at risk for socialemotional challenges. Parents are asked questions that include whether the child steals, bullies or is bullied by others, thinks before acting, is frequently ill or has many fears. A vote to waive the district’s F-130 parental consent policy to administer the MSS was expected to pass at the board’s Nov. 24 meeting, after this issue went to press. At a Nov. 19 District 194 School Board work session, most board members indicated they favored the waiver to gain increased participation and more statistically reliable results. When the district waived the policy in 2013, student participation levels in the student survey soared, according to Ouillette. That year, the survey questions had been significantly changed to broaden from a focus on the student to include their parents and family members. At the work session, Board Chair Michelle Volk said she opposes waiving the district’s parental consent policy F-130 because she has a passion for pro-
COURT, from 1A week at the ranch by Lakeville police, Grant County deputies and the U.S. Marshals executing a search warrant. Grazzini-Rucki’s non-contested omnibus hearing has been rescheduled for Dec. 7. Her attorney Stephen Grigs-
tecting student data and parents rights. She cited concerns the questions extend to their families’ behaviors, including living situations, religious activities, physical violence, income (students are asked if they receive free-and-reduced lunch) and if anyone in their family uses drugs and alcohol. She suggested surveying students with an abbreviated version of the survey, but received no support for the idea. District staff noted the MSS is anonymous and promoted using the state’s version of the survey so the results could be statistically viable and comparable. Ouilette said the results help the district identify areas of concern, compare itself statewide and shape and target district programs to address the “whole child,� including social-emotional issues. She said the results also help the district attract grants and allow various groups, including the newly formed Proactive Approaches to Help Coalition, to assess the needs of the community. The PATH Coalition is comprised professionals and advocates, and is focused on improving mental and chemical health in the community. Volk’s suggestion that parent consent be obtained via email did not gain traction with the board. In a later interview, Volk said there is no reason the district’s opt-in policy should be set aside and she plans to vote
by indicated in court documents he will argue that GrazziniRucki’s $1 million bail is excessive. In court documents filed Nov. 24, Grigsby wrote bail of $1 million is typically “reserved for defendants charged with murder for whom a substantial prison sentence is probable.�
In an interview, Grigsby said Grazzini-Rucki, who was arrested last month by U.S. Marshals on a Dakota County warrant, has been treated unfairly by Dakota County courts. He said her bail hearing was conducted without her having her attorney present and was forced to represent herself.

against waiving the policy. “I’m thinking that we have a really good policy in place,� she said. “There’s a reason for that, and this survey goes against that policy on every level.� She noted the 2016 survey asks students about physical and mental problems that have the potential to be embarrassing to students and their families. Volk said it also asks students about any illegal or anti-social behaviors, including stealing, smoking marijuana or drinking alcohol. “They are all self-incriminating,� Volk said. Michele Lentz, president of Minnesota Child Protection League, called the Minnesota State Survey questions “dangerous to children,� in part because the way they are asked assumes they have engaged in the negative behavior. The league advocated for the release of the survey questions prior to administration of the 2016 test. The Department of Education is making the questions available to parents by request in several languages. Lentz said some of the questions ask children how many times they have been pregnant or gotten someone pregnant and asks things about themselves or their partner regarding “the last time� they had intercourse. Lentz questioned if the survey is “simply discovering what issues children are facing or ... normalizing harmful behaviors.� She described the ques-
! "" 0$2 "" 0$2
tions as suggestive, invasive and misdirected and said subjecting students to them could lead to potentially harmful consequences. “The perceived needs of social services organizations should never steam roll over respecting and protecting the best interests of individual children,� Lentz said. The newspaper was unable to connect by deadline with an official at the Minnesota Department of Education to respond to Lentz’s comments. At the meeting, Board Member Kathy Lewis, a nurse, said getting the data is “incredibly important,� and cited concerns that if they do not ask children about societal issues, they would be sweeping them under the rug. “I think it’s very crucial to appreciate the fact that there are issues going on within communities,� Lewis said. Ouillette said they will build action plans around the survey data and need “as big a sample size as we can get.� Volk raised concerns about the usefulness of the questions, including if someone in a student’s family has been jailed or in prison. “Why do I need to know this?� she said. Lentz suggested the MSS should ask more general questions that allow students to volunteer what issues concern them avoiding the suggestion that the behaviors are “expected and fairly commonplace.� Board Member Bob Erickson cited privacy
The Rucki family said in a statement Tuesday: “We are ecstatic to have Samatha and Gianna Rucki back home safe.� The family thanked law enforcement for the their hard work and perseverance in locating Samatha and Gianna Rucki. “It’s been over 2.5 years since our family has seen the girls,
concerns about the survey method, noting that while the state will provide a limited number of penand-paper surveys, but most will be taken online and could be available to a third-party. Jason Molesky, district technology and data services director, said the district will try to get paper copies for the students. According to the Minnesota Department of Education, the limited hardcopies of the surveys will be available to districts on a first-serve basis. Ouillette said District 194 parents will no longer have to make an appointment to review the survey in the presence of a staff member, but instead the questions will be made available for review online by the State Department of Education. The district plans to send parents a letter describing the survey and offering information about how to opt their child out from taking it. Volk said she planned to suggest the letter be amended to note the survey will also ask about the student’s family’s behavior. “It doesn’t say that in the (draft) letter, that it’s also about your family’s behaviors in the home,� Volk said. Even if the amendment to the letter passed, Volk said she still intended to vote against waiving the district’s parental opt-in policy, based on principle.
consequently this is a very emotional time for all involved, we ask that you respect the privacy of the family. Thank you for the kind thoughts and prayers and we hope to continue to receive support from the community moving forward on this healing journey,� the statement said.

Opinion Insights from interviewing applicants to replace me by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
You learn so much by interviewing people for jobs. Over the past month, several great colleagues and I have listened to people who wanted to be the new director of the Center for School Change, where I’ve worked for 26 years. Here are a few things I learned by listening to these folks. When asked “Why do you want this job,” don’t begin by explaining that you are ready for the responsibility that the job offers. The most impressive answers include explaining why you believe the organization is doing important, exciting work. Then describe how you could help the organization accomplish its goals. Those are the attitudes and skills that organizations, whether nonprofit or forprofit, are seeking. The wisest job applicants have studied the organization to which they are applying. They demonstrate an understanding and support for what the organization is trying to accomplish – whether it’s a fast food franchise, a school, a company or anything else.

Joe Nathan Second, don’t submit what appears to be a generic resume. If you care about the job, refine your resume at least to some extent. Show why or how you would be a good fit for this particular job. Based on previous experience, we asked people to submit answers to a few questions along with their resume. This helped us screen out a number of applicants. If the job description does not ask such questions, strongly consider listing, in a cover letter that accompanies the resume, a few examples showing how you can help the organization. Third, be prepared to be specific. We heard generalities from many applicants. If the job involves writing, bring some writing samples to the interview. If it involves creating something, be specific about what you’ve created. If the job involves accomplishing certain goals, be
Malik Bush and John Miller are the new co-directors for the Center for School Change. (Photo submitted) ready to describe specific accomplishments in previous jobs. Next, listen carefully to the questions. If you are not clear about the question, ask for clarification. We were surprised that several people appeared to answer questions we had not asked. Mix confidence and openness. People who impressed interview committees on which I’ve served displayed both strong skills and a willingness to learn. Most
employers are looking for both. In the end, our committee unanimously agreed to hire two terrific people who will be co-directors of the Center for School Change. Malik Bush and John Miller are educators who also have worked in for-profit companies. They were extremely enthusiastic and convinced us that together, they could do a fine job. Malik lives in Brooklyn Park, and John lives in Bloomington. You can read more about them here: http://bit. ly/1S58m2O. Thanks to ECM Publishers, I’m going to continue writing a column that appears frequently in Sun Thisweek and the Dakota County Tribune. I’m staying involved in education issues, though I’ll cut back a bit. Even after 45 years in education, I want to continue learning. Interviewing people over the past month convinced me I still have plenty to learn.

Letters Why skip the turkey on Thanksgiving? To the editor: While President Obama is pardoning two turkeys for Thanksgiving, every one of us can exercise that same presidential power by choosing a nonviolent Thanksgiving observance that spares a turkey’s life. And here are some good reasons: • You can brag about pardoning a turkey - like Obama. • You truly are what you eat. Who wants to be a “butterball”? • Fruits and vegetables don’t have to carry government warning labels. • You won’t sweat the environment and food resources devastation guilt trip. • You won’t spend a sleepless night wondering how the turkey lived and died. • Your body will appreciate a holiday from saturated fat, cholesterol, and hormones. • You won’t have to call Poultry Hotline to keep your family out of the emergency room. Seriously, this Thanksgiving, let’s give thanks for our good fortune, health, and happiness with a lifeaffirming, cruelty-free feast of vegetables, fruits, and grains. Our own dinner will feature a soy or wheat-based roast, mashed potatoes, stuffed squash, candied yams, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie. An internet search on “vegetarian Thanksgiving” is getting us more recipes and other useful information than we could possibly use.
riding public: that mandatory helmet use will ensure a motorcyclist’s safety. You should also do more research before using the seat belt to helmet comparison. Seat belts are one part of an automobile passenger safety system along with air bags, collapsible steering columns, crush zones, etc. Also, your “rising insurance rate” theory has been refuted so many times I am surprised that it was mentioned in the editorial. While my heart grieves for everyone lost too soon on our roads and highways, nothing will be solved by passing this “one-sizefits-all” mandate. What is needed is a comprehensive study into the initial cause of crashes. These are not “accidents,” and whether or not one is wearing a piece of equipment has no bearing on why or how the crash took place. Rider training and motorist awareness programs are of great benefit. For more than 25 years, ABATE (American Bikers for Awareness, Training and Education) of Minnesota volunteers have offered the “Sharing the Road” program to teenagers during their drivers education class. Tens of thousands of students have received awareness training that lasts a lifetime. ABATE also strongly promotes the motorcycle safety training program statewide. Lessons learned in these classes benefit the student for years and years. These are proven programs that work and do not require heavy-handed legislation. Even with motorcycle registrations at an all-time high, the rate of fatalities per motorcycle registrations has decreased dramatically. While the ECM Editorial Board and others continue to focus on safer crashing, ABATE of MN will do all we can to promote safer driving and riding. The best crash is the one that never happens.

a “video” only to protect President Obama’s run for his second term as he said Al Qaeda was on the run. The column omits that the CIA and the State Department Inspector General have said she has classified information in her emails – similar to what Gen. David Petraeus had who was prosecuted – but she gets a pass from the media and likely from the corrupt Obama Justice Department as payback for protecting him during Bengazi. Your readers know you are failing to do your constitutional duty to be unbiased, but you repeatedly lie and deceive your readers and the American people. You should be ashamed to refer to yourselves anything like “revealing the truth.” I could add a long list of half truths on your coverage of local elections as well. You are nothing more than Democratic Party hacks. That is the real truth! TERRY BRANHAM Lakeville
Training, and enforcement – not mandatory helmets To the editor: The November ECM Editorial, “Time to require mandatory helmet law for motorcyclists,” appears to be tainted or biased based on the information presented. For instance, “half the fatalities were not wearing a helmet,” which means half were, which is only a flip of the coin odds improvement. The editorial points out that “operator error” as a “dominant reason” for “more than half ” of the
fatal crashes and recommends more training but then jumps to “helmet law” in the headline. The editorial says mandatory helmet law is no different than requiring a motor vehicle driver to wear a seat belt. Wear a helmet for an hour or two and see if it isn’t heavy, hot, reduces peripheral vision and hearing all of which can be detrimental to riding safely. There were 361 traffic fatalities in Minnesota in 2014. Had all vehicle drivers been required to wear a helmet (NASCAR apparently believes it improves car driver safety), it would make a bigger effect in reducing the number of traffic fatalities if that is the editorial’s goal. I have been riding motorcycles since the early 1970s, with long-distance rides to Arizona, Alaska, Tennessee and Maine among my trips and I prefer not wearing a helmet. I believe it should remain a decision by the rider. I also believe training (I have taken an advanced rider class) and enforcement (22 percent of fatalities had no license, 42 percent of single vehicle fatalities were alcohol related) would help more than a mandatory helmet law. GARY FEYEN Crystal
Different point of view on mandatory helmets To the editor: I am an advocate of the personal freedom mentioned in the ECM Editorial (Nov. 13) and believe that it is each individual’s choice to wear a helmet or ride without one. I have been riding motorcycles since 1980 and choose to ride without a helmet. The main reason is that my awareness level of my surroundings is not impeded by a helmet. When I ride, I like to be able to hear everything that is going on around me, specifically other vehicles that are in my immediate area. When I do wear a helmet, I feel closed in and almost a feeling of false security as sounds of traffic are muffled. The statistics are interesting, but they do not tell the entire story. Sixty fatal crashes make up .025 percent of the 236,000 registered motorcycles in Minnesota. While See LETTERS, 11A

Kline receives leadership award U.S. Rep. John Kline, R-Burnsville, was honored by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Association in a ceremony Nov. 18 where he received the Maj. Frank Tejeda Congressional Leadership Award for both his military service as a Marine and his service in Congress, particularly his unwavering support of veterans and service members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Congressman Kline has long been a champion of a strong national defense, our sons and daughters in uniform and their families, and returning fiscal discipline to the Pentagon,â&#x20AC;? said Lt. Gen. Rex McMillian, the Commanding General, USMC Forces Reserve and Marine Forces Northern Command. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kline has fought tirelessly to hold the VA accountable; protecting victims of sexual assault in the National Guard; and restoring TRICARE health coverage to thousands of members of the military whose coverage was dropped.â&#x20AC;? Named after Maj.
Rep. John Kline Frank Tejeda (USMC), the award was created to honor those members of Congress that display the highest level of commitment to addressing issues effecting veterans and service members. Tejeda embodied a level of commitment to service members, which stemmed from his own service in the Corps. He began his service as an enlisted Marine in Vietnam and later earned a commission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a lifelong Marine, this is an especially meaningful award,â&#x20AC;? said Kline,
a 25-year veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of my guiding principles in Congress is to ensure we keep faith with those who made the sacrifice to serve our country and defend freedom and I will continue to make sure the federal government keeps its promises to our veterans, troops, and their families.â&#x20AC;? Last month, Kline received the Charles Dick Medal of Merit from the National Guard Association of the United States for his loyalty and commitment to the men and women of the National Guard. AMVETS presented Kline with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Silver Helmet Awardâ&#x20AC;? for his loyalty and dedication to Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s veterans. The National Guard Bureau honored Kline with a Heritage Painting, one of its highest civilian awards, for his legislation that is now law making the Minnesota National Guardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beyond the Yellow Ribbonâ&#x20AC;? reintegration program available to units nationwide.

Farmington awarded grant to buy new ice resurfacer for arena Farmington was awarded a $50,000 grant for a new electric ice resurfacer to replace the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s liquid propane fueled ice resurfacer at the Schmitz-Maki Arena by the Minnesota Amateur Sports Commission. A new electric resurfacer would eliminate carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide or nitrogen dioxide emissions inside the arena. The resurfacer is scheduled to arrive in time for the 2017 summer ice season. The grant is part of a revived Mighty Ducks Ice Arena Grant Program. The grants require a minimum dollar-fordollar match from nonstate funding sources. Farmington committed $80,000 toward the project, which is coming from the Farmington Youth Hockey Association and the Schmitz-Maki Arena capital improvement fund. The Mighty Ducks Grant Program was revived last year after its initial run from 1995-2000. Its intent is to help increase ice time across the state particularly with the growth of female hockey players. During that run, 61 new sheets of ice were installed and 74 arenas received renovations grants. It revived last year with plans to help with new arena construction and renovation as well as the elimination of R-22 refrigeration systems to improve air quality.

LETTERS, from 4A
I challenge everyone to take a look at the number of people who are texting or on the phone while they are driving. Forcing a motorcyclist to wear a helmet, when confronted with a distracted driver may save a life, but will not stop the accident from occurring, which is really the root of the problem. Unfortunately accidents and fatalities will never be eliminated. Forcing motorcyclists to wear a helmet is not the solution to this problem. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let the actions of a few affect the majority of the other motorcycle operators and take away this personal freedom.
no wants to see anyone injured, I would argue that requiring helmets would have very little effect on this small percentage. It is mentioned that over half of the fatal crashes involved only a motorcycle. It would be interesting to see what percent involved another vehicle and what the cause of the accident was. There is no mention of distracted driving of other motorized vehicles. It was mentioned that operating a motorcycle is a privilege, but driving a car or truck that shares the road with motorcycles is also a privilege. The number of distracted drivers is alarming and STEVE KNUDTSON is something that needs to Eden Prairie be dealt with.

Harkening back 70 years USO-style show in Rosemount pays tribute to WWII veterans by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
From 1941 to 1947, the United Service Organization presented more than 400,000 performances for troops serving overseas during World War II featuring entertainers such as Bing Crosby, Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra and Bob Hope.

The variety show will commemorate the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II and will feature performances by a swing band, formed by members of the Rosemount Community Band; HotDish, a group of female vocalists who perform in the style of the Andrews Sisters; JAMM Dance Co.; and The Special Delivery Singers, which is a chorus composed of special ability residents of Dakota County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to commemorate the fact that RAAC was going to be back â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the Steeple Center, and through those brainstorming sessions, we realized it was going to be the anniversary of the end of World War II â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an even more significant â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;coming home,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We felt it would be a great tribute
to remember how important family, friends and home is this time of the year.â&#x20AC;? With the addition to the Steeple Center nearly complete, RAAC members say they are happy to be back in the main venue space that has hosted previously hosted the fourth annual Christmas event, which was skipped last year due to the construction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we have brought in some great talent for this show, and I think the theme is close to peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hearts,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a show full of great music, acts, dancing and more. A great event to share with family and friends.â&#x20AC;? Rehearsals have been occurring over the past few weeks as the acts have been preparing for the show in separate places. Many of them will come together at the Steeple Center the week prior to the shows for a large re-
hearsal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always nervewracking as we get closer and closer to the show, but we all have worked so hard to make this the best event we can,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a popular event for us in the past and we hope to continue those sellout crowds. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just an awesome way to kick off the holiday season.â&#x20AC;? Tickets are on sale for $15 at RAACâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, rosemountarts.com, by mail to RAAC, P.O. Box 409, Rosemount, MN 55068, or at the door the day of the event. RAAC members receive a discount. World War II veterans will receive two complimentary tickets to either of the shows.

DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Current residents can travel back in time by more than 100 years to see what Christmas was like for early Dakota County residents next month during the Christmas in the Village Celebration at the Dakota City Heritage Village in Farmington. Every building will be filled with holiday cheer, showcasing life in the early 1900s from 1-8 p.m. Dec. 5, 6, 12 and 13 in the Dakota County Fairgrounds in Farmington. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will show what it was like to celebrate around Christmas in a small town in Dakota County during the 1900s,â&#x20AC;? said Lynn Stegmaier, Dakota City president. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme is focused on the poem â&#x20AC;&#x153;Twas the Night Before Christmas.â&#x20AC;? A 1905 silent film of the poem will be showing at village

Groups often hand out music sheets so those in the audience can join in. The Harris house will have familiar faces as well. The house was the last active building on the property, owned by the Harris family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can actually meet the last family who lived in that house before it became Dakota City,â&#x20AC;? Stegmaier said. Along the road, two trollies decorated with jingle bells will be pulled by draft horses. Rides are free with paid admission. The cost is $6 for those 13 and older, $3 for ages 4-12 and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s free for those 3 and under. This is the 21st year of the official Christmas in the Village Celebration.

hall. Inside the fire hall, children can make an ornament, which they can either bring home or use to decorate the village Christmas tree at the bandstand. Children and adults alike can meet with Santa in the depot. Mrs. Santa will be in the library helping others write letters to Santa. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a checkers contest in the barber shop. Both the carpentry shop and blacksmith will be building items for the farm. There will be scheduled performances by several community and student coral groups in the church, but there will almost always be music filling the space. Several individuals from solo musicians to families plan to sing carols throughout the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People can to sing along when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re there,â&#x20AC;? said Georgie Juenke, who organizes the music.

Burnsville residentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book explores those moments SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
The working title of Brenda Elsagherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aging Hilariously,â&#x20AC;? wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t working. The veteran author, motivational speaker and comedian solicited essays on the topic through womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s writing groups and social media. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got one â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;tee-heeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and two adventure stories from older women â&#x20AC;&#x201D; no hilarious stories, none,â&#x20AC;? the 59-year-old Burnsville resident said. So she assembled a focus group of women in their 50s, 60s and 70s and had it video-recorded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I spent a lot of money for 10 minutes of conversation,â&#x20AC;? Elsagher said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They pretty much said: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;No, you cannot age hilariously. There is no such thing.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? But moments of hilarity â&#x20AC;&#x201D; those are possible, said Elsagher, who retooled her pitch and wound up with 80 essays, 20 written by her. The book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your Glasses Are on Top of Your Head: Tales of Life, Longevity and Laughterâ&#x20AC;? was launched in October by Minneapolis publisher Wise Ink Inc. Elsagher hopes readers of a certain age will see themselves reflected in the slice-of-life vignettes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Forty-five and up is the beginning of aging, really,â&#x20AC;? Elsagher said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m on the young end.â&#x20AC;? The topic is a departure for the married mother of two, who built a new career after being diagnosed with colorectal cancer 20 years ago. She beat the cancer and faced life with a colostomy. Elsagher, who said she was raised in a family that coped with adversity through humor, turned a medical crisis and its squeamish aftermath into a foil for laughs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know I was a speaker until 20 years ago,â&#x20AC;? said Elsagher, whose first four books â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including the peppily titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d Like to Buy a Bowel Pleaseâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; were aimed at cancer survivors, health care professionals or people living with ostomies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know I was a writer, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know I was a speaker, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know I was a comedian. I had my rectum removed and all these cre-
ative things happened to me. What can I say?â&#x20AC;? Elsagherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cancer and clean bathroom humor became fodder for books, a stand-up act and a speaking career that has taken her to hospitals, womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expos and other events across the United State and Canada. She offers the patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspective in speeches to health care professionals, addresses cancer survivor groups and is a longtime advocate for colon cancer screening. In recent years Elsagher has sought to add substance and continuing-education credit status to her talks by studying therapeutic humor through the Humor Academy of the Association for Applied and Therapeutic Humor. Her first academic project was developing a keynote address on humor and healing for longterm care professionals. Her second was the new book, which Elsagher said was intended for a wider audience than her previous books. As one of the family caregivers for both of her late parents, she can rightly claim some expertise on aging. Her many contributors fill in the rest of the book. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of my stories I thought were really funny, but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think there was enough and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want it all to be about me,â&#x20AC;? Elsagher said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like anthologies.â&#x20AC;? She has some tasty chapters, though, like the story of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wheelchair Soupâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the stuff served by her dad after he was confined to a wheelchair in which he pulled up to the fridge and grabbed every ingredient he could reach. In one serving Elsagher found a rubber band. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Well, you know, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know you were coming, and I had to stretch it out.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? She writes about her mother, who suffered from dementia for 15 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said to my mom, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Guess what, Mom, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I lost 70 pounds.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And she goes, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wow, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so proud of you.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I felt so good. My mom didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t used to be very complimentary. When she started losing memory, she got very sweet, like a marshmallow.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;And so 10 minutes later I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mom, guess what, I lost 70 pounds.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; She said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wow, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? Elsagher burst out laughing at the memory, but the fishing for compliments backfired when she told her mother sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d reached 100 pounds of weight loss. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She goes, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wow, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing. You must really have been out of control.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the old mother.â&#x20AC;? After a lifetime of being heavy, Elsagher pokes some fun at the more slender but more elastic person sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become in recent years. Cleaning the bathroom one day with newfound energy, she disrobed to avoid getting bleach on her clothes. Repeatedly hearing a â&#x20AC;&#x153;wop, wop, wopâ&#x20AC;? sound, she thought it was a hovering helicopter until she realized it was extra skin flapping on her arm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can move a lot faster than I used to â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I just have to wait a minute for my skin to catch up,â&#x20AC;? Elsagher said. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing funny, she acknowledged, about the chronic disease, mental illness and disability that can accompany aging. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But it is a matter of attitude, no matter what the situation is,â&#x20AC;? she said, describing her fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deathbed with family around him, singing and telling funny stories about him as he went. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You want to age: That is the whole point,â&#x20AC;? Elsagher said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You want to get one day older, sometimes one month older, one year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you take everything you can. So the whole aging thing has not freaked me out at all. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been grateful for every single birthday Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been 20 years just last month since Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been diagnosed with colorectal cancer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 20 years. I got to see my children grow up. I got to attend my sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wedding. This is what I had told the doctor when my kid was just 5: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to make me well because I want to dance at my childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weddings.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;?

Sports Cougars crack the top five at state swimming Two South relays earn automatic All-America by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
It might not have been realistic for Lakeville South to track down Lake Conference powers Wayzata, Minnetonka and Edina at the state Class AA girls swimming meet, but the Cougars got just about everything they could out of the athletes they had. Two South relays placed third in automatic All-America times at last Friday’s state finals at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center, where Lakeville South was fifth in the team standings. The Cougars also had two of the top four swimmers in the 200-yard individual medley, which South coach Rick Ringeisen considers the showcase event of the meet because it requires proficiency in all four strokes. “If you consider everything, we had a perfect meet,” Ringeisen said. “We had a great first day (in Thursday’s preliminaries), and that gave us an opportunity to finish in the top five.” Shea Bougie, Brianna Alexander, Ryenne Hathaway and Josie Sommers were third in the 200 medley relay in 1 minute, 45.25 seconds, about threetenths of a second below the automatic All-America cutoff and two-tenths of a second behind runner-up Stillwater. Wayzata’s winning time of 1:41.57 set an all-time state meet record. Ringeisen said he expected the medley relay to do well because the Cougars had a strong swimmer for each of the four legs, and each of the four strokes. Bougie, Alexander, Hathaway and Sommers also are fast in the sprint freestyle, which they demonstrated by finishing third in the 200 freestyle relay in 1:35.81, also an automatic All-America time. Alexander finished third in the 200 IM in 2:03.63, with Bougie taking fourth in 2:04.15. Both are All-America consideration times. “Brianna

(Alexander, Anderson photos by Bill Jones; relay photo by Mike Shaughnessy) and Shea proved they’re two of the best all-around swimmers in the state,” Ringeisen said. It was the second consecutive top-five finish in the event for Bougie, who was fifth last season. Alexander qualified for state in the 200 IM in each of her six years of high school swimming. She placed in the top six in the event the last four years and was state runner-up in 2013 and 2014. Bougie was fifth in the 100 butterfly in 56.18 seconds. Alexander placed fifth in the 100 breaststroke in 1:04.53, an AllAmerica consideration time. Hathaway, a sophomore, reached the championship finals in the 50 freestyle, tying for fifth in 23.80. She was 16th in the 100 freestyle in 57.99. Sommers swam in the preliminaries for the 50 and 100 freestyle races but did not advance to the finals. Sophomore Brittany Alexander reached the semifinals of the diving competition and missed advancing to the finals by about two points. Lakeville South tied for sixth in the 2014 state Class AA meet, and Ringeisen said the ability of his top four swimmers gave the Cougars a chance to match or better last
year’s performance. “The (200 freestyle relay) was a big event for us,” the coach said. “If we could get big points in that relay, then we thought we could finish among the top five teams.” The Cougars also took some satisfaction from being the highest-finishing South Suburban Conference team at the state meet. South had 137.5 points for fifth place, while SSC regular-season

Dakota United displays team play at state tourney

Hawks finish 3rd in PI adapted soccer by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
For Dakota United coach Lorrie Buecksler, the second half of the final adapted soccer game of the season represented what her team was about. It wasn’t because the Hawks were leading handily, even though they went on to defeat Park Center 10-1 in the PI Division third-place game Saturday at Stillwater High School. It was the sight of Buecksler’s best player, senior center Grayson Nicolay, refusing to shoot and instead trying to set up teammates for goals. Nicolay, who already had scored three goals in the game, spent much of the second half trying to get the ball to Hawks ninth-grader Cooper Chelstrom so he could score. Chelstrom did get a second-half goal. “Cooper has some balance issues, but he’s the hardestworking kid on our team,” Buecksler said. “He comes to practice early to do some extra work, and usually by the end of practice he’s soaked in sweat because he’s been working so hard. “We have some really good players like Grayson and Riley Wisniewski who could score 10 times as many goals as they do, but they understand this sport and they support their teammates.”
champion Rosemount was sixth with 105. Four other South Suburban teams finished in the top 20 – Eagan (10th), Prior Lake (15th), Farmington (17th) and Burnsville (18th). Wayzata scored 315.5 points to win its third consecutive Class AA team championship. Two other Lake Conference schools, Minnetonka and Edina, finished second and third, and Stillwater took fourth. South will have Som-

(Photo by Mike Shaughnessy) Buecksler said the Hawks expected the competition at state to be difficult, and they weren’t disappointed. After beating Mounds View/Irondale/Roseville 10-3 in the first round, Dakota United faced its rival and nemesis, Robbinsdale/Hopkins/ Mound Westonka in the semifinals Saturday morning. The Robins, who were seven-time defending PI Division champions, won 6-1 to reach the championship game, where they lost to Anoka-Hennepin 2-0.
Blazing Cats B u r n s v i l l e / Fa r m i n g t o n / Lakeville took a 7-2-2 record into the state adapted soccer CI Division tournament but lost both its games. The Blazing Cats opened with a 10-3 loss to North Suburban, then loist to South Washington County 5-0 in the consolation semifinals.
It’s the high school winter sports season, which means five teams from the Sun Thisweek and Dakota County Tribune coverage area are back to defend state championships. That elite group consists of: • Apple Valley wrestling, which has won 10 consecutive state Class 3A championships – but, if you believe one preseason ranking, is not favored to repeat this year. • Lakeville North hockey, coming off the first undefeated season in the large-school class in 22 years. • Eagan boys swimming and diving, looking to go back-toback after claiming the school’s first state team swimming championship in 2014-15. • Apple Valley boys basketball, which opens the season ranked first in Class 4A and is looking for its third state championship in four years. • Dakota United CI Division adapted floor hockey, who won their second state championship – and their first in nine years – last March. Apple Valley is scheduled to open its wrestling season Dec. 3 in a home match against Lakeville South. The Eagles feature two of the nation’s top high school wrestlers – Mark Hall and Gable Steveson, defending state Class 3A champions at 170 and 220 pounds. If Hall repeats as a state champion this year, he will be the first Minnesota high school wrestler with six individ-
ual titles. But it’s St. Michael-Albertville, not the Eagles, who were first in the Class 3A preseason rankings released by theguillotine.com. Right behind Apple Valley at No. 3 is Shakopee, the program former Eagles head coach Jim Jackson is taking over this year. In a bit of additional intrigue, Apple Valley and Shakopee now are in the same section following the Minnesota State High School League’s every-two-years realignment. Is Lakeville North the favorite to win a second consecutive state boys hockey championship? No, that status went to Eden Prairie, although North is second in the Let’s Play Hockey preseason rankings. But it would be a mistake to underestimate the Panthers, who return quality forwards such as Ryan Poehling, Max Johnson and Henry Enebak. They will start the season with an inexperienced defense and new varsity goalies. The Panthers will open against Stillwater on Tuesday, Dec. 1, at Ames Arena. Eagan won the 2015 Class AA boys swimming championship without winning an individual event, which speaks to the Wildcats’ across-the-board strength. Several of the athletes who helped make that championship season happen are back, including swimmers Parker Lemke and Jasper Appleton, and divers Nic Lemieux and Alex Crow. Apple Valley opened the boys basketball season Tuesday
at Chanhassen in a game that took place after this edition went to press. The Eagles return their entire starting lineup from a team that was 30-2 last season and beat Park Center in the Class 4A championship game. At least three starters have futures in Division I basketball – senior center Brock Bertram, who has signed with the University of Buffalo, and junior guard Gary Trent Jr. and sophomore guard Tre Jones, who are being nationally recruited. The Eagles’ home opener is against Minnetonka at 6 p.m. Saturday. Blake St. Mane of Dakota United was a breakout star in the 2015 state adapted hockey CI Division tournament, scoring eight goals in a semifinal game. He also scored a hat trick in the Hawks’ 4-2 victory over North Suburban in the championship game. Dakota United’s season opener is Jan. 13 against Winona at Eastview High School.
Hamline tourney Eastview traditionally has opened the girls basketball season at a showcase at Hamline University the day after Thanksgiving. That will not change this season even though the Lightning has a new coach. Molly Kasper’s first game as Eastview head coach will be against Bloomington Kennedy at 5:45 p.m. Friday. Eastview, which took second in the 2015 state Class 4A tournament, takes on White Bear Lake in the Hamline event Saturday.

One of the most public calls for expediting road improvements came in February 2014, when School Board Member Bob Erickson and thenBoard Chair Roz Peterson attended a county meeting with Alyssa Ettlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, Matt Ettl. Erickson addressed the board to request the county improve Dodd Boulevard sooner than 2018 and said there are opportunities for the school district to become a partner with the city and county and provide right-of-way for the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am offering that,â&#x20AC;? he said. In its compensation
ground network of people who claim family courts are corrupt. During a contentious divorce from David Rucki, Grazzini-Rucki claimed he abused her and the girls, but police found no evidence to substantiate the claims. Their oldest son, Nico Rucki, 19, told the newspaper their mother used â&#x20AC;&#x153;fearâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;scare tacticsâ&#x20AC;? to make the children fear their father and separate him from them. Despite uncooperative witnesses, false leads and Grazzini-Ruckiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s silence, Lakeville police Deputy Chief John Kornmann said investigating officers remained diligent to bring Samantha and Gianna home. He said fellow Lakev-
ille officers took on extra workloads so officers involved in the case could focus on locating the girls. The teen girls have been brought to Dakota County and are being well cared for, Kornmann said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their well-being, everything about them, is the primary focus,â&#x20AC;? Kornmann said. He said officers involved in the investigation have issued 12 warrants in the past four months and â&#x20AC;&#x153;each of them provided a bit of information to another clueâ&#x20AC;? as to where the girls might be located. Grant County Sheriff Dwight Walvatne said their department worked with Lakeville police to get a judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature on a search warrant, and were there along with U.S. Mar-
statement, the county asked that District 194 â&#x20AC;&#x153;consider honoring this commitment to donate the land as a way to demonstrate a strong partnership for this improvement project and a cooperative effort to reduce costs for Dakota County taxpayers.â&#x20AC;? District 194 Board Member Kathy Lewis said she supports the road improvements, but district funds should not fund it, especially since some of its taxpayers live in Scott County. Michael Baumann, District 194 executive director of business services, said the district is not responding to the donation request, but focusing on the offer. He said they will work with the county so that the project remains on schedule. County Commissioner Liz Workman of Burnsville was chairman of the County Board when Erickson made the statement at its Feb. 4 meeting. Workman said she
did not think at the time Erickson was speaking on behalf of the School Board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I appreciated the gesture at the time, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that one person has the authority to speak for the rest,â&#x20AC;? she said. Workman said it was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;very emotional issue,â&#x20AC;? and she believed Ericksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments were coming from the heart, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but you still need your peers to agree with you.â&#x20AC;? Dakota County Commissioner Mary Liz Holberg attended the School Board meeting and said she is sure the county and city will come to an agreement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the most important thing is to get the project done and moving and the county stands ready to work with the school district to resolve any of their concerns so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be ready to go in 2016,â&#x20AC;? Holberg said. Laura Adelmann is at laura. adelmann@ecm-inc.com.
shals and four Lakeville police officers to serve the warrant at White Horse Ranch. The nonprofit organization, founded by Doug and Gina Dahlen, describes itself as a Christian ministry for abused horses and children. Kornmann said officers did not know the girls were at the ranch until they knocked on the door. He said the girls were cooperative and did not try to hide or run. Walvatne said it appeared as though the girls were â&#x20AC;&#x153;being well taken care of,â&#x20AC;? and one of the ranch owners was present and also cooperated with police. He said there were no other children present and police have never had any
problems with anyone at the ranch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was almost an anticlimactic conclusion to a long, long drawn-out investigation,â&#x20AC;? Kornmann said. Kornmann credited investigators in the Lakeville Police Department, describing the search as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a dedicated effort by the whole organization.â&#x20AC;? He compared looking for the girls to the story of Hansel and Gretel, who laid a trail of bread crumbs after they were lost but the crumbs were eaten by others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People were trying to make those bread crumbs disappear,â&#x20AC;? Kornmann said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The trail of those girls, they wanted to cover up and make sure the clues to finding those girls were
gone.â&#x20AC;? Walvatne added Lakeville police briefed them on the case before the warrant was served and credited them for putting in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;tremendous amount of time and resourcesâ&#x20AC;? in finding the girls. He said they have gathered significant information that has to be reviewed by the Grant County and Dakota County attorneysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offices. The Dakota County Attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office is asking that the Rucki family have privacy at this time. Grazzini-Ruckiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s omnibus hearing was slated for Tuesday after this edition went to press.
fund operations and infrastructure and minimize the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debt load. Erickson said the rate study will be comprehensive, looking at the base prices and the tiers to ensure people are being charged fairly. Lakevilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s street light operating fund anticipates increases from Xcel Energy and Dakota Electric of 3.5 percent that will be passed on to users. Future rate increases are expected to range between 5 and 15 percent, according to the city. Lakeville is considering replacing street lights in downtown for an estimated cost of $400,000. Once the lights are installed, the utility company would take on ownership of the light system and its long-term maintenance costs, according to Public Works Director Chris Petree. Next year, the city will hire a part-time forester and use a portion of utility fees to help fund the
position. The forester is expected to help defend the city from effects of the emerald ash borer. Petree said the forester would create an EAB preparedness plan as neighboring cities have created to help devise preventative treatments, tree clearing and replacements. Council Member Colleen LaBeau said she hopes the forester can help residents mitigate losses of their ash trees. Petree said the person could also find grant funds to try to offset the costs associated with battling invasive species. The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Truth-in-Taxation hearing will precede the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dec. 7 vote on the 2016 budget, allowing time for anyone to address council with questions or concerns.
LEVY, from 2A year. City infrastructure replacements are also driving up the costs of water and sewer next year. Lakeville is planning to raise its utility fees, and Erickson estimated about a $26 annual utility fee increase for the average household that consumes approximately 18,000 gallons of water per year. She said the city was forced this year to incur on debt in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water operating fund for the first time to pay for infrastructure replacement. Despite an all-tier 10 percent increase in water sales revenues, Erickson said revenues are not enough to pay to replace infrastructure and projected negative cash in the fund in 2020. Lakevilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sanitary sewer fees are proposed to increase 5 percent next year, and the city will conduct a utility rate study to determine rate levels to

the community in a short period of time,â&#x20AC;? Brettschneider said. In his current position, he said he is proud that he was able to hire so many high school and college students from Lakeville. He said many return every year, and he enjoys seeing them progress. Several are now doctors, accountants and elementary school teachers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun to see how they progressed from when they worked for park and rec,â&#x20AC;? Brettschneider said. His new salary will
be between $80,000 and $90,000. Brettschneider is currently earning about $70,000 annually. He became emotional when speaking of the friends he has made on the job and in Lakeville, and said leaving is difficult because of those relationships. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve loved it in Lakeville,â&#x20AC;? Brettschneider said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people I work with are great. These past 14 years have been great.â&#x20AC;?
than 3 percentage point loss in the 2014 GOP endorsement, Gerson said he was the leader of a grassroots effort that forced current 2nd District U.S. Rep. Kline, R-Burnsville, to retire. The 68-year-old Kline said in September that he was retiring after 14 years because it was time to give someone else a shot, saying the expiration of his chairmanship of the House Education and Workforce Committee played a role in the decision. Gerson said he has invested his life savings into this cause and put his career as an engineer with Meggitt PLC on hold. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a cause for me, not a job,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not my campaign, it is your campaign.â&#x20AC;? The South St. Paul resident said he is the only person in the race to stand with â&#x20AC;&#x153;you in this race against Washington insiders.â&#x20AC;? He said he was going to fight against the liberal agenda that is destroying the country. Among the issues he would address, Gerson said he would defund Planned Parenthood and end executive overreach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been in the trenches for three years,â&#x20AC;? Gerson said.
He said he wants to restore peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faith in representative government. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are going to take our country back,â&#x20AC;? he said. Howe cast himself as a hard-working business owner who grew up in a house without running water. The first in his family to attend college, Howe said he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t taken out a personal loan since 1996 mentioning first that addressing the federal deficit was his top concern. When reviewing the candidates, Howe encouraged voters: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t listen to what they say, look at how they live their lives.â&#x20AC;? Howe cast himself as the candidate who could bring in the conservative Democrats who would be needed to win the election. Benson-Staebler, who was in Italy when Kline made his retirement announcement, said he entered the race since he was upset about what was going on with the refugee crisis as thousands of Syrians are spilling into Europe. He said the refugees are being handed 50 euros, housing, medical benefits, new clothes, and iPads. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That fits the liberal ideology, it does not serve people,â&#x20AC;? said Benson-Staebler, who also criticized the Iraq nuclear deal. He said Democratic
presidential candidate Hillary Clinton wants to make the United States more like Europe with these policies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These policies are entirely unacceptable,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Republican offering is better. That is what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to prove to us and win for us.â&#x20AC;? One contrast appeared with Lewis criticized Gerson and Howe for supporting means-testing for administering Social Security benefits, which would have poorer seniors receive more benefits and the wealthy less or none at all. Lewis called that action turning Social Security to a welfare program. On education, BensonStaebler and Howe both advocated for providing financial vouchers to students that would allow them to attend a school of their choice, including religious-affiliated schools. Gerson said he would allow states to opt out of No Child Left Behind and Common Core and expand 529 savings accounts. Lewis advocated for eliminating the U.S. Department of Educationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cabinet-level position and making it merely an office.

TODAYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S THE DAY STOP SMOKING
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Slow but steadyâ&#x20AC;? is one way to describe the creative process behind Eagan singer-songwriter Michelle Whalenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new holiday album. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Incredibly disciplinedâ&#x20AC;? is another. About eight years ago, Whalen decided to get serious about her songwriting and set a goal for herself: Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d write one Christmas song, each year, during the holiday season, indefinitely. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Probably in 2007, 2008, I just started feeling like I wanted to be a bit more disciplined with composing,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some years I wrote two or more songs, some years just one.â&#x20AC;? The result is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Christmastide,â&#x20AC;? Whalenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 15-track album of new songs and rearrangements of old carols. Whalen will be hosting a free album-release concert at 6 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 6, at the Historic Concord Exchange in South St. Paul. Whalen is set to perform songs from the album with a backing band consisting of Twin Cities musicians who participated in the albumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recording. Whalen, who formerly led the music program at Eagan Hills Church with her husband, Joe, gives voice and piano lessons out of her Eagan home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Christmastideâ&#x20AC;? is her second solo album; she released â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fringes,â&#x20AC;? a collection of church worship songs with a jazz influence, in 2007. Whalen raised about $4,900 through Kickstarter to help bankroll â&#x20AC;&#x153;Christmastide.â&#x20AC;? Funds raised went to cover mastering of the CD, its printing, and the reservation fees for the upcoming album-release concert. She got a break on studio recording fees by partnering with Christian DeLooper, who engineered and co-produced â&#x20AC;&#x153;Christmastide.â&#x20AC;? The album was recorded between May 2014 and September 2015 at McNally Smith College of Music in St. Paul. DeLooper, a student at the school, made â&#x20AC;&#x153;Christmastideâ&#x20AC;? part of his senior project, and the recording sessions were

strings or trombone. The finished album incorporates folk and jazz elements, and includes reworkings of ancient carols â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a 13th century French carol, done as a jazz arrangement, and a third-century chant among them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was feeling like there were a lot of historic, good carols being lost in our culture,â&#x20AC;? Whalen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Christmastideâ&#x20AC;? will be available for purchase at the Dec. 6 release concert, as well as through online Michelle Whalen music sites such as Spotify and iTunes. completed at no cost in More about Whalen McNallyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s studios. and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Christmastideâ&#x20AC;? is at Whalen was joined by a www.MichelleWhalenMucore group of three musi- sic.com. cians in the studio â&#x20AC;&#x201D; guitar, drums and bass â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but Email Andrew Miller at also brought in others for andrew.miller@ecm-inc. tracks that required harp, com.
